Lowering his voice until only Caedon could hear him, Ted made one last threat. “I’m done here. I’m done with you, but you need to know there’s more videos where that came from. Keep that in mind. I’m not the only person who has them. I’m smarter than that.” He tapped the side of his temple. “You need to watch your back and everyone else’s.
Piss off the wrong people, and the whole damn world will know how you fuck both your partners.”
Caedon shrugged. “I’m proud of who I am and who I love. So power to them. Let them tell the world. I can’t stop them either way.”
“You’re damn straight. There’ll be no stopping them when they’re ready, and they will be one day,” Ted said. Then with one last scowl, he faded into the background.
Micah sighed. “That’s all for now. We would appreciate our privacy. If you choose to overstep the bounds of our legal rights, we will have you arrested. We’ve made friends with the three great police officers as well as the hard-ass judge. So back off, and leave us alone.” With that, Micah tugged Ella toward the side of the building where her sisters had left them a getaway car.
As expected, the crowd stampeded forward, but the petite sheriff and her two hulking deputies stepped in between them. Not a second later, the rest of the townspeople who had joined them formed a barricade to keep them off Caedon, Ella, and Micah. One call to Ella’s eldest sister Hadley had obviously done the job. She’d handled everything for them. I’ll have to thank her later.
Rounding the corner with his partners, Caedon grinned. The car was sitting exactly where they’d said it would be, and it was running.
Micah rushed Ella forward then helped her into the front seat of the car quickly and efficiently. In the blink of an eye, Micah had herself and him locked away in the car.
In a hurry to get going, Caedon leapt into the backseat of the car.
Hitting Micah’s seat, he murmured, “Let’s get a move on. We have somewhere we need to be.”

“We do?” Ella inquired as she turned back to him, checking him out curiously. “Where?”
Micah grasped her hand in his. “Patience, snowflake. You’ll just have to wait and see.”

Chapter 25
Ella sat back in her seat, ready for a long car ride. She figured they were getting her out of town. However, they weren’t. Fifteen minutes had barely passed before they pulled the car up in front of the same house they’d been at yesterday. And she realized something crucial—this was going to be their house.
Tears welled in her eyes, and she gasped. Bringing a trembling hand to cover her mouth, she fought the need to completely break down and cry. She’d known what the rose meant when Caedon had handed it to her, and she knew what this house stood for. This house was the root to their relationship, their anchor to the ground.
Driving into the garage, Micah pulled to a stop and cut the engine before the door slid closed. Each of her men hustled out of the car then helped her out. With one man on each side of her, they walked into the house they would call their own.
More tears spilled from Ella’s eyes. She didn’t know what it was.
She couldn’t describe it. But something happened to her when she walked into the place where she would live with Caedon and Micah, the place they would raise their kids and grow old in.
“I love it,” she blurted out excitedly. Then realizing she hadn’t confirmed her suspicions, she added, “It is ours. Right?” Neither man answered her. They merely moved forward, taking her along with them. When they finally reached the living room, she gasped again . The men had been planning this before the whole debacle. They had to have been. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have had time to fill the room with the furniture from their old apartment. The Three Rings and a Rose
239
neutral-colored décor and furnishings had been arranged inside the living area, soaking up most of the space easily.
Ella smiled, remembering how they’d picked out every piece together. It had taken them all day, but they’d done it. They’d decorated their entire home together. When Ella had put them in storage, she’d figured that she would sell them one day. But maybe that wasn’t the case. Maybe she’d always hoped this would happen, and everything would get back on track.
“Ta-da,” Caedon joked. “What do you think?”
“I–I–I love you guys.” Without wasting another moment, she threw herself into Caedon’s arms. She held onto him, allowing her tears to fall and dampen his clothes. He didn’t seem to mind and neither did she.
Caedon tipped her head back until she had to meet his cobalt eyes.
When she did, she cried all the harder. Her lover had moisture swimming there, not much but a little. “There’s one more thing, sunshine.”
Coming to stand at her side, Micah hoisted her up and into his stocky, muscled arms. He carried her in the direction of the front door. But Caedon’s hands covered her eyes, blocking out her vision.
She quietly jostled up and down in Micah’s arms as he strode forward. Eventually he stopped and lowered her to the ground. “Keep your eyes closed,” he commanded.
And she listened. Even though she wanted to be ornery and disobey his order. She didn’t. They obviously had something up their sleeve, and she didn’t want to fuck it up for them. From their expressions in the house, they were truly excited about whatever it was.
She heard rustling, but she still refused to open her eyes until Micah whispered, “Open them.” And yet again, she listened. She pried open her damp eyes, focusing them on the sight in front of her.
“Oh, my God,” she breathed.

Both men were on their knees in front of her, each of them holding onto the rose they’d given her earlier. Only this time, the overhead sunlight cast a glimmer on the metal they’d tied to the stem.
Three rings had been attached to a thin string that had been wound around the green, thorny stalk then tied in a bow at the top.
“Ella Embry Dawson,” Micah murmured. “We love you more than life itself. You’ve been our world since the day we both met you.
I know it’s been a long, hard road, but we’ve finally reached the sunlight. So will you do us the honor of wearing our ring? Will you marry both of us?”
Ella’s words caught in her throat, and she couldn’t speak. She stood there in their yard next to what appeared to be a newly planted rose bush on a trellis, staring at her men. She slid her eyes back and forth between Caedon and Micah. But nothing happened. No movement. No answer. Just calm, quietude, and stillness.
“Ella?” Caedon asked, a nervous hitch in his husky voice.
“Y–y–yes.” She wasn’t sure if she sounded like she was giving an answer or asking a question. So, she tried again. “I’ll marry you both.”
Caedon lurched to his feet and grabbed her, swinging her around in circles. In no time, she was squealing for him to stop. And he didn’t. He kept going—and going—until she felt nauseous.
Still kneeling, Micah cleared his throat, and they both froze.
Oopsie. Caught up in the moment, they’d left their lover out. Darting her eyes to him, she felt guilt seeping into her soul. But what she found had it instantaneously draining away.
Micah was on the ground. He hadn’t moved, not even an inch, but he didn’t seem perturbed by their excitement. He appeared amused.
With his laughing eyes, he told her more than words could say.
“Caedon Matthew Asher,” Micah said. “I know we haven’t really talked about this, but I want these three rings to unite all of us.” He touched the silver bands, rubbing the metal tenderly with his index finger. “When we get married, I want you to be my husband in every Three Rings and a Rose
241
way. I hope you’ll have me as your husband in the same manner.
Marry me?”
Ella saw the naked fear in Mica
h’s eyes. He didn’t conceal it, and her heart throbbed for him. Even with their newly cemented relationship, he apparently wasn’t sure of where he stood with their other lover.
It didn’t take long for him to find out. “I assumed we would all be married,” Caedon said honestly, his face coloring rapidly. “That was a given for me.”
Micah released a giant gust of air. “Thank God,” he replied.
Ella laughed. “You should have known better, Micah Blaylock.
We’re in this together. That means three rings and a rose. Until the last flower on Earth blooms, we’re a part of each other. We’re one—
now and forever.”
Joining in her joy, Micah chuckled, too. “Well, when you put it like that,” he said as he stood up and hugged them both close. Pecking one kiss on her lips then another on Caedon, Micah sighed. “Let’s go inside. We have a house to christen.”
Oh, yes we do. In a sentence, Micah elicited her lust. The happiness she felt took a backseat to the powerful passion that propelled her into the house. Without waiting for them, she sprinted toward the living room. As she moved at full speed, she ripped at her clothes, taking them off and throwing them aside.
In the short distance she ran, she had all of her clothes off and was waiting for the men when they came inside. Like her, they’d disposed of their clothing as they’d hustled inside, and both of the men’s aroused cocks were aimed at her, straining toward her.
Dropping to her knees, Ella smiled naughtily at them. “I think we need to bless every room in the house with our bodies, but this is where we should start.”
Neither man spoke. They didn’t have to. She didn’t need them to.
They stalked across the room, stepping around the furniture easily.
Reaching her first, Caedon hefted her up into his arms, and she 242
Mia Ashlinn
wrapped her legs around his waist, bringing her wet pussy into dangerously, delightfully close proximity of his elongated dick.
Caedon carried her to the couch then lowered her onto the cushion. With a deliciously deep kiss, he glided his hands down her inner thighs and spread her legs. Then he released her lips and lowered himself to the ground. In a flash, Micah knelt down beside him, and they kissed hotly, the heat so intense that the fire scorched her pussy.
Moisture flooded her, dampening the couch beneath her. But she couldn’t dredge up an ounce of remorse. She could clean it or buy a new one. It didn’t matter to her.
Wrenching himself away from Micah, Caedon turned his lusty blue gaze on her, and she trembled in anticipation. He advanced, touching his tongue to the bottommost tip of her entrance and licking a long path upward to her clitoris. Stopping, he used his diabolical tongue to toy with the swollen protrusion. But too soon, he stopped and kissed Micah again.
Ella peered down at the two men between her legs as they hungrily mated their mouths within inches of her desperately unfulfilled pussy. In fascination, she watched Micah rip his mouth from Caedon’s and turn back to her. He snaked his hot, slick tongue out and fucked her quivering cunt with it, leaving her panting for precious air.
At the same time, Caedon reached between her parted legs. He slowly trailed a finger over her mound then through her labia.
Immediately, he found her clitoris and started to torment the throbbing bud. “You’re so beautiful, sunshine,” he murmured as he stroked her clit. Alternating his circular caresses with mind-blowing taps, he smiled at her seductively. “I love watching you with our man.
I love seeing what he does to you, how he drives you crazy.” Ella arched her back, digging her nails into the couch cushions on each side of her. She moaned helplessly as her whole body tightened in pleasure, coiling around the hedonistic rapture coming for her. As Three Rings and a Rose
243
her orgasm built, shivers erupted and chill bumps raced over her skin.
But she was too far gone to notice.
She latched one hand onto Micah’s head, holding him in place, and writhed unashamedly. She cried out as her cunt drew up, the walls tightening around air. Her orgasm rushed over her, leaving devastation in its wake. The profound pulsations in her core drove her hips upward, and she bucked.
Before she rammed into Micah, he flew backward. He gripped one hip while Caedon held the other. They forced her ass back to her seat. But she wasn’t exactly sure why they did it because before she could catch her breath or resurrect her control, Micah was sitting on the couch with her straddling his lap.
Crawling toward them, Caedon guided his hand between Micah’s open legs. She felt him pumping Micah’s rock-hard cock. Then a heartbeat later, he positioned Micah’s dick at her entrance. Using his hands on her hips, he lowered her onto Micah’s shaft.
Ella screamed. The already highly sensitized walls of her core flew into overdrive as pain and pleasure united. Micah’s huge shaft pierced her swiftly with the help of Caedon. His steely dick stretched her and tormented the overloaded nerve endings inside her cunt.
She arched her back, forcing the front of their bodies together tightly, and moaned. Holding on to her hips, Caedon raised her body up then lowered it down, fucking Micah’s body with hers. Once a rhythm was set, he released her and she objected in distress. “No!” But Caedon didn’t listen. He lifted up and reached for the lube she’d hidden in the end table. “I’m not going anywhere, sunshine. I’m right here,” he crooned as he retrieved the bottle. Flipping open the lid, he drizzled the slippery substance down her crack then placed the head of his cock at her rear entrance and gently eased inside.
Underneath her, Micah halted midthrust, holding himself perfectly still. “We’ve got you, snowflake.”
As her body resisted the second dick forcing its way inside her too-tight hole, she felt compelled to move, and she couldn’t stop 244

herself. So her men did. Caedon latched onto her hips while Micah stole a kiss from her lips.
Without relenting, Caedon pushed forward as he held onto her. A fire sparked in her ass, the flame burning so brightly she blazed from the heat.
She sighed, oddly enjoying the fiery sensation sweeping through her bottom. That was all it took for Caedon to breach her sphincter and slide balls-deep into her rectum. A scream ripped out of her chest, the sharp, piercing cry cracking her vocal chords as it escaped her throat. She wriggled in between her two men, begging them, “Fuck me. Please. Please. Please. Fuck me. I want you both.” Much to her delight, they did. Both of them took off, fucking her in perfect synchronization as though they’d double fucked a woman many times. Only they hadn’t. This was the first time they’d fucked anyone together. She was popping their double penetration cherry. Go me.
Caedon nibbled on the side of her neck as he burrowed in and out of her asshole. He alternated between gentle, loving nips and rough, lusty bites. Each time he clamped down on her skin with his teeth, she hissed, “Yes.”
Micah wound his arms around her hips and grabbed on to Caedon.
“Fuck her harder,” he demanded. The pressure increased in her ass, and she had a feeling that he was using his sinful hands to force Caedon deeper. If she wanted to find out, all she had to do was look.
But she didn’t.
The orgasm spinning out of control in her cunt stopped her from doing anything. She just hung on and luxuriated in the naughty ride of her life. Micah and Caedon’s thrusts grew more erratic, less synchronized. Their plunges became feral with no rhythm and no rhyme—merely fucking in its purest form.
Caedon grabbed a handful of her hair, tugging her head back with his merciless grip. “Come, sunshine,” he whispered into her ear. “I Three Rings and a Rose
245
want to feel you come. I want to hear you scream. Just let go. We’ll take care of the rest.”
Knowing they would do just what he promised, she let go. She released the leash on her control and came. For just one split second, the world stopped spinning as she yelled until her voice ach
ed. Her pussy swelled then quaked as her juices flowed.
The men surrounding her attacked her pussy and ass with a ferocity that had another orgasm building. They fucked her holes brutally without apology or remorse. And she loved it. She shook between them, whimpering at the painful pleasure ravaging her body.
Chanting their names, she came in a shower of ecstasy. Just as she did, the cocks filling her amplified, enlarging until she felt as though her body couldn’t hold anymore. Then they came with gravelly groans, their cum escaping their shafts to find a safe haven in her body.
Panting harshly, Ella’s lungs burned as they fought for the oxygen they’d been starved of as her men had fucked her. She sucked in lungfuls of air, but it only curbed the excruciating fire.
Collapsing, Ella squished Micah. She tried to lift up, but she couldn’t. First of all, the man crushing her from behind wouldn’t let her. And secondly, her body didn’t work. It was too tired, too sated to do a damn thing. So she sighed and gave into it. She surrounded herself in the love of her two perfect-for-her men.
And finally in that splendorous moment, she knew without a doubt that they’d truly become one. With their love and three rings, they’d made a single rose.

Restless, Ella slipped off the sofa where her fiancés slept soundly.
She wanted to stay there with them forever, but she had two last things she had to do before giving into peaceful slumber. She had to call Leila, and then she had to call Adeline.

Not particularly looking forward to either call, Ella took her time tiptoeing across the living room floor. She shuffled through Caedon’s jean pocket in search of his cell phone. Finding it exactly where he always kept it, she snuck out of the room and ascended up the steep stairs.
When she reached the landing, Ella searched for the best place to talk. Craving privacy and hoping to not awaken Caedon or Micah, she chose the room closest to her, the only room with the door open.
