“And who is this?” My mom gestured to the elephant in the room standing tall and proud, in the form of Logan.
“Mom, Dad, this is Logan. He’s Tyler’s twin brother.” Sweat formed against my palms.
“And what’s he doing at dinner with us? Can they not be separated?” My mom whispered to me from the corner of her mouth.
Saved in the nick of time, the hostess brought us to our seats and I didn’t have to answer that million-dollar question just yet. Once we were seated and everybody ordered their food, safe and polite conversation filled the table. My Dad began to open up to the twins, bantering about the business world with them.
“Darling, you have barely touched your entrée. Is everything alright?” My Mother looked at me with worried eyes in only the way a Mother could.
Actually, my heart is in my throat and I might puke all over this table…is what I wanted to tell her but I knew I had to spill the truth sooner or later. Tyler, Logan and I had rehearsed what we were going to say, but now that it was happening in real life my mind was a blank canvas and my parents were about to get the spattering of a lifetime.
“Mom, Dad…I’m seeing both of the twins. I mean, at the same time.” I winced, ready for the blow and wrath of their reactions.
“What…what do you mean?” My Dad looked positively stunned, and maybe a little hurt which wounded my soul a little too.
“Um…well you see…I uh…” I was flopping like a fucking fish out of water as I tried to find the right words to say.
“What she is trying to tell you Mr. and Mrs. Gorgeson is that Bailey is in a relationship with both of us.” He smiled as if he had just given them the weather forecast and cut into his juicy steak.
My Mother shook her head as if she wanted to wake up from a bad dream. “Bailey, is this true?”
“Yes, it’s true Mom. I had hoped you guys would understand the way I feel about them. The three of us have such an amazing time together. I mean look at you Dad…and the way you’ve bonded with them tonight. That’s the way it is when I’m with them too. They bring out the best in me.” I could tell by the look on my Dad’s face that he wasn’t buying it anymore, and he was raging mad.
He turned to Tyler. “Do you mean to tell me that you and your brother are in a polygamist relationship with my daughter?”
“No sir, that’s not what we are saying at all. Polygamy would be if we had multiple girlfriends, but we know we are in love with Bailey and we only want her.”
“Oh, you know you are in love with her? That is the biggest crock of shit I’ve ever heard. Bailey-do you even have your head on straight? What’s gotten into you with this sort of behavior?” My father shouted and I was pretty sure the entire restaurant knew what was going on with us.
“Dad, I know I love them too! I wish you could just understand..."
“I can understand if you want to pick one of them…” my mother interrupted.
“Why can’t you guys just be happy for me? Why does everything have to be so complicated?” I yelled a little too loudly and a couple at the table next to us glanced our way before diving back into their soup after they got caught watching us.
“Bailey…you have to think about your future. What will people say when you introduce these two men as your boyfriends? It’s just weird.” My mother clicked her tongue like the words left a bad taste in her mouth.
Before I knew what was going on I tears falling from my eyes. “Mom, Dad…you don’t understand the type of pressure you’ve put me under all these years. In elementary school when I had to go to gymnastics everyday…and I didn’t even like it. Then…once I got to high school and you pushed me to play piano and run track. Then I had to go to Georgetown for the image. You don’t understand the pressure you put me under and here I am now putting my heart on my sleeve and I still don’t get any support from you!” I sobbed, not caring who heard me now. I was broken, cracked straight down the middle.
“Darling, keep your voice down. We can work this out.” My mother tried to take my hand but I jerked out of her hold.
“I’ll keep my voice down alright. I’m leaving. Come on Tyler and Logan. Let’s get out of here, since we clearly aren’t good enough for my parents!” I shoved from the table, my vision blurry with unshed tears.
Tyler and Logan looked sheepishly torn between two worlds. “Sorry sir, you can send us the bill if you’d like later on,” Tyler shrugged as he and Logan got up to walk out of the restaurant with me.

“I mean can you believe them?” I shouted later after we got home and I had time to cool off from the fight with my parents.
“Why don’t we do a little night swimming?” Tyler rubbed my shoulders and eyed me sympathetically.
“Care to make it interesting guys…and by that I mean how about a little skinny dipping in the pool?” Logan added.
“Hell yeah!” I said, instantly feeling better. A swim in the pool under the night stars in summer time…while being naked with my men was just the remedy I needed for this type of situation.
“Can you guys help me strip down?” I batted my eyes and jutted out my hip while pouting my bottom lip.
“Um fuck yes!” Logan walked over to me and wrapped his arms around my midsection, kissing me passionately. I loved the way his stubble tickled my chin. He was my rugged guy, and Tyler was my clean-cut guy. I got to have the best of both worlds and I felt damn lucky about it, because some girls didn’t get either.
Logan slowly slipped off my dress, sending chills up my spine with the care and precision he used to tenderly undress me. Down at my ankles, he grinned up at me and slowly worked his way back up, peppering every inch of my skin with kisses until he reached my head and kissed me on the lips again.
“Cannonball!” Tyler exclaimed from beside us. I watched with surprise as he jumped into the water bucked ass naked, causing a ripple and a splash as he plunged into the pool.
Logan looked at me with a mischievous look on his face. “You’re next, Princess.”
“No!” I shrieked playfully, because I knew he was going to throw me in. I held my breath and squeezed my eyes shut as he picked me up and dangled me over the edge of the pool.
“You ready to get wet in more ways than one?” Logan chuckled at his own joke and I shrieked again right as I hit the water. It felt so refreshing as I went under, now cooling off from the humidity of the day. We swam around for a while and the boys chased me and we splashed each other in complete joy, lost to not a care in the world.
After a while when we had tired out, we moved to the steps of the pool and waded there for a bit. Tyler’s eyes glazed over with lust as he gazed at my naked wet body. “You’re nipples are so perky,” he stared with his mouth gaping open.
“Why don’t you kiss them a bit?” I offered the gateway into what I knew would turn into sex.
“You don’t have to ask me twice,” he growled hungrily and the next thing I knew he was swimming towards me. I straddled him, sitting on his lap as he played with my nipples and kissed my neck.
“I’m getting so wet,” I moaned as he stimulated my clit with his fingers under the water.
“I’m going to fuck you,” he teased in my ear, his breath cool against my warm skin.
“You get her from the front brother. I’ve got her in the back.” Logan swam out of the pool and grabbed his slacks that were in a heap next to the patio. I watched curiously as he dipped his hand into his pocket and grabbed out an infamous bottle of lube.
I laughed out loud. “You guys are sex professionals, I fucking swear.” Logan caressed his dick with the lube so he would be able to enter me from behind as Tyler fucked my pussy. Tyler sat on the top edge of the pool and I sat on top of him as he entered me, as slow as hell, giving me all ten delicious inches of his cock.
“Are you going to let me in that tight ass of yours?” Logan purred in my ear, impatiently wanting to impale me with his ten-inch cock.
“Take it…” I ordered and a moment late
r I felt him slide into home plate, his cock going as deep as it could humanly go. I loved being fucked from both holes, and now being in the pool and the sensation of the water hitting my clit and tits and asshole, it was perfection. I grabbed my hair and arched my back, pulling my long wet locks off my neck and shoulders while Tyler kissed my neck and Logan rubbed my shoulders. I was getting the royal treatment from these two princes and I never wanted to look back, no matter what the rules of society said.
Epilogue
Tyler
I couldn’t believe that I was holding one of my twin baby girls. My eyes shifted over to my own twin who was holding the other little girl. The bond they would share would be eternal, and we could show them the ropes of what it meant to be a twin.
Soon after we started dating Bailey she discovered she was pregnant. We decided not to do a paternity test to determine which of us the father was. Logan and I preferred to just live as a tight little family, knowing we were both the father to these beautiful angels, named Elizabeth and Emily.
I was holding Elizabeth and I could only tell by the pink colored blanket we had wrapped around her. Emily’s blanket was purple. They were so calm and beautiful, a true blessing that we would cherish forever.
We were getting ready to head home from the hospital, milestone number one of heading out into the world and their first car ride was already happening, and it felt like their lives were already moving at a rapid pace and they were only two days old.
The birth had been hard for Bailey, her water broke three weeks early but the doctor assured us that this was normal for multiples. Once the babies were born via c-section, they were healthy and developed enough that they didn’t need any further neonatal care and we were allowed to take them home, proudly to show friends and family.
Bailey was tired but we could tell by the way she cooed over the babies that she was madly in love with them. We loved her too, and we wanted to make our lives together official.
Bailey had been working as a secretary for the marketing department of the company ever since we became official that fateful night after we went swimming in the pool. Now that the babies were born she had planned to stay home and care for them while we continued to work. We didn’t mind it at all, and Bailey had been looking forward to staying home with them for months before they were even born and now that they were here, her dreams could officially come true.
“Let’s bring our babies home,” I leaned over placing a kiss on the top of Bailey’s head. “Good job mama,” I praised her, feeling the bond between all of us growing stronger now that the twins were here.
“They are so cute aren’t they?” Bailey gazed dreamily at the sleeping girls.
“You did a great job, Princess.” Logan chimed in a bright smile on his face.
“It wasn’t all me, you guys gave half of this adorableness.” She smiled and rubbed Elizabeth’s tiny wrinkled hand.

Bailey
I had been home with the twins for a week now, and without Tyler and Logan’s help, I would have been a basket case. My parents refused to help me or be a part of their grandchildren’s lives because of the relationship I had with the fathers, but there was nothing I could do about it and I had stopped caring a long time ago. It was their loss that they would not be around to watch these sweet girls grow up.
I loved being home with them and not having to go out into the stress of the corporate world. I was happy to have gotten the experience I got while I was out in the workforce and I would never regret getting my Georgetown education. But like a book, every chapter of life had a different ending and I was ready to start the next one.
“You are such a pretty girl,” I sang to Emily as I gave her a bath and she kicked out her cute little arms and legs.
“Need some help in here?” Logan came up behind me as I bathed the girls in their matching pink tubs. It had always been my dream to have a daughter one day to dress up in cute clothes and brush her hair, and now fate had brought me two. I didn’t know when my double blessings would end after having found the twins and then having twin girls of my own, but I knew I never wanted it too.
“Yeah I could use a hand or two,” I said gratefully as Logan grabbed a washcloth and helped lather Elizabeth up who was already becoming chunkier even after only a week of life. I loved how helpful the twins had been. They were going above and beyond my expectations and they had a good grip on the whole father thing. I tried not to put too much pressure on them to help me but they seemed to love bonding with their daughters so it all worked out in the end.
I was so tired at night because the girls were waking up every couple of hours to eat having Logan and Tyler around to help with feedings was just what I needed. No matter what, I was lucky to have them and I knew that.

Logan
I scratched the stubble on my face feeling nervous. “What if she says no?” I paced the floor and tried to wrestle out the nervous feelings.
“She’s not going to say no,” Tyler said confidently as he zipped up a duffel bag that contained his gym clothes for the next morning’s work out session.
“You don’t know that…” I argued.
Tyler spun around. “Why would she say no? She loves us Logan and just had our twin daughters. She loves being home with them. There’s no reason for her to say no now.”
“I guess you’re right,” I plopped down on the bed and looked out into the hallway.
“Well, I guess we should go say goodnight to the twins.” They were getting so big, at already three months old. They were changing every day and I felt like I couldn’t keep up with it all. Pushing from the bed we both headed towards the twins room where they slept in their matching white sleigh bed cribs. We touched the top of their heads tenderly and whispered our goodnights to them.
When we walked into the master bedroom, we saw Bailey getting ready for bed. She was stripped of makeup and her hair was wavy and running down her shoulders. She looked radiant as she put moisturizing lotion on her hands. I loved her bedtime routine and everything about her.
“Hey guys!” She lit up when we walked into the room, her eyes beaming with joy.
“What’s with the serious faces?” She looked at us perplexed.
With a nod of Tyler’s head in my direction, I knew that was my cue. I got down on one knee as he did the same. Bailey gasped as she realized what was happening. “Oh my goodness.” She breathed out, perfectly stunned and surprised, which we had hoped for all along. I pulled a ring from my pocket that had a two -carat princess cut diamond in the center of it, flashing it in front of her.
“Bailey, we love you so much. You have given us our perfect daughters and make our lives brighter by just being a part of it. Will you marry us?” My heart was racing as I waited for her reaction.
“Yes! Yes!” She cried out, pulling both of us off the floor and into her arms. Never, not even once in my life had I thought that I would find someone as great as Bailey, but like always life had a way of making things interesting and Bailey well she was the most interesting thing to ever happen to us.
“I love you!” I smiled pressing a kiss against her forehead, feeling so much happiness, and love that I was sure I would burst.

Chapter One
Mia
My eyes darted from the clock on the wall and back to the dough that was rising in a bowl on the counter. I had less than an hour to get Lola, and myself ready for my brother’s wedding rehersal plus I still had to prep the bread dough that was rising. I ran a hand through
my chestnut brown hair.
You can do it Mia. It was the mantra of my life and something I had to chant to myself for the last four years. I squeezed my eyes shut for a fraction of a second, well placing my closed fists against the cold counter top.
I inhaled fresh oxygen and exhaled the stale oxygen from my body. The sound of the door chiming, signaled a customer.
I shook my head in confusion as I walked around the front of the kitchen and out by the register. I was pretty sure I had locked the front door and turned the open sign to closed, hadn’t I?
The fact that I hadn’t actually done so became more apparent as my eyes caught a glimpse of what could be nothing more than a ghost.
“Hello, Mia…” My eyelids fluttered closed, and my body lit up, like a Christmas Tree. His voice was still the same, smooth like honey. No one said my name like Jake Matthews did. It had been four years, four long years since he broke my heart and walked away from me.
“We’re closed.” I barely got the words out. I didn’t have any intention of seeing or talking to him again. Still my body betray me and I gave into the need to at least have a look at the man he had become. I regretted it right away, my body coming to life like it did all those years ago.
Jake had filled out mighty well. When he left he was fit, and tone, but now he was muscled, and rugged. His face was spotless not a hair to be found. My eyes roamed over his strong jawline, and the very spot right next to his left dimple where I always placed a kiss when we departed. God he was so fucking handsome, and it was going to be so hard to avoid him now that he was back in town.
“Your sign says open. Though even if it did say closed I would still find a way inside…” I bit the inside of my cheek unsure of what to say to him. He couldn’t just walk back into my life like this after being gone for such a long time. There were things that he didn’t know about an entire life he missed out on being gone and he couldn’t just come back and decide he wanted to be apart of that now.
