Coming home went smoother than any of us anticipated. It took almost four months for my left leg to heal, but as of today, I’m officially cleared and walk only with a slight limp. Toby said it makes me look like a pimp, and he finds it hilarious. I’ve had to find creative ways to punish him since I haven’t been cleared for sex, but it’s given me ways to punish him in the future. Plus, it’s given us all ways to be intimate that doesn’t involve sex. It’s actually been really good for our relationship.
Now that I’m cleared, today is the day that we’re going to ask Oliver to do a commitment ceremony. The rings Leland gave us have been customized into a wedding band, with the diamond from the engagement ring split to fill the band. While I was at the doctor, Toby was picking that up. Leland is distracting Oliver so Payton, my mom, Toby’s mom, and Aiden can decorate the house. Everything should be ready by the time I get there, and it’s the first time that I’ve been nervous. He accepted my collar without a second thought, but this goes even deeper. He can’t legally marry us all, but we want to give him something. Oliver deserves it and so much more.
My driver pulls in front of the house, and Cass is waiting to open the door. “Everything is in order, Sir.” Cass has actually become Oliver’s full time driver, and he’s very protective over him. Oliver thinks the world of him, and I can relax when he’s with Cass. The only reason he’s not with him today is because I wanted to give Oliver and Leland time together. “Oliver should be back soon.”
“Thank you, Cass. Is Toby back?”
“Yes, Sir.”
I make my way into the house and hear Payton laughing in the living room. She’s been around a lot more lately, and I couldn’t be happier. She’s an amazing girl, and I owe her everything for protecting Oliver when his father wouldn’t. I follow the sound, and my eyes widen when I see the living room. They’ve moved all the furniture to the side so it’s a big open space. They’ve decorated with fairy lights, candles, and flowers.
“This looks amazing,” I comment, walking in.
Mom comes over and gives me a hug. “All clear?”
“He said everything looked good, and I shouldn’t have too many problems.”
“That’s what I like to hear.” She gives me a kiss on the cheek and links her arm through mine. “I have no doubt Oliver will say yes.”
“He better say yes,” Payton says. “Or I’ll kick his ass.”
“He’ll say yes,” I say with more confidence than I feel. “Where’s Aiden?”
“He’s putting in an order for food,” Toby’s mom answers.
Payton checks her phone and grins. “Oliver will be here in like two minutes. Toby went to change clothes, so he’ll be down in a minute.”
“Thank you, guys.”
They each give me a kiss on the cheek and disappear out the front door. Toby comes jogging into the living room with a huge grin.
“You ready for this, Dirty boy?”
Toby snorts. “If it was up to me, I would have done this the night I met him.”
“Of course you would, psycho,” Aiden says, walking to stand beside us.
“He’s here, Sir,” Cass says, sounding like a proud dad.
Aiden nervously adjusts his button-up and takes a deep breath. We’re standing side by side when Oliver walks in. He gasps when he sees us and looks around.
“What’s going on?” he asks, coming to stand in front of us.
I nod at Toby, and he steps forward to grab Oliver’s hands. “I never thought agreeing to a fantasy would lead to finding the love of my life. I thought I had all I needed with Jace and Aiden until I found you. You’re everything to me, Baby. I love you.”
Toby steps back, and Aiden steps forward. Oliver already has tears in his eyes, but his smile is breathtaking. “Growing up, you’re the only person I ever wanted to be mine. Although I didn’t have the courage to tell you then, I can tell you now. You make me the happiest man on the planet. We got off to a rocky start, but I promise to be the man you deserve, Darling. I love you.”
I walk forward and cup Oliver’s cheek. Just like he always does, he nuzzles into my palm. “Watching you fully accept who you are has been the best thing to witness. You not only learned how to give us your body, you learned to give us your heart and soul. You let me be me without any judgment and with so much understanding that it makes my chest ache.” Oliver sniffs, and I wipe a tear from his cheek with my thumb. “In return, we want to give you our commitment.” We all drop to one knee, and Toby pulls the ring from his pocket. He opens the lid, and Oliver starts crying even harder.
“This was your mom’s, but we had it customized for you so you could carry a piece of her with you,” Toby explains. “Will you do us the honor and be ours?”
“Yes,” Oliver says without hesitation. “A million times, yes!”
We all get to our feet, taking turns kissing him fucking senseless. His entire body is vibrating with emotion, but the smile on his face is huge. Toby, Aiden, and I always thought it would just be us. But all it took was one fantasy and Oliver to prove us wrong.
It made us realize that fate really does exist.
