Page 126 of Knot That Difficult

My lower lip trembles, and I stand up to kiss him sweetly.

Well, it at least starts sweet.

The minute our lips touch, fire flares across my body, my inner Omega coming to life with a pleased purr. Ace, Connor, and Ben’s scents swirl around me, and my womb cramps.

Uh-oh.

I pull away from him quickly, my breathing heavy.

“It’s time to go,” I gasp out. “I need to get somewhere private.”

It’s been less than a month since my last Heat, so it shouldn’t start now.

Right?

Ace’s nostrils flare, and recognition dawns on his face.

“Let’s get you home, sweetheart,” he murmurs. “That way, you can have us all to yourself.”

Ben’s eyes darken when I meet his gaze. “And so we can have you all toourselves,” he says, smiling.

I shudder in delight and give him a wicked grin.

Then Connor hoists me up and carries me bridal style through the restaurant and to Ben’s car.

The minuteI arrive at the house Connor and Ace purchased, I let out a shriek of delight.

It’s gorgeous.

Just like their other one, it’s at the end of a cul-de-sac, and has white and gray trim. Little manicured shrubs sit in the front, and there’s a stone walkway up to the front door.

They guide me through the kitchen and living room, and I continue to let out little sobs of delight.

We’re all going tolivehere.

I have a house, not just an apartment!

I hold both Connor’s and Ace’s hands as they lead us down a hallway and to another room.

“This one,” Connor says, “is your room. And ours, if you’d like.”

He opens the cream-colored door, and my jaw drops.

The mattress ismassive.I knew my Bedlite one was nice, but this one could fit us all easily with room to spare. It’s a four-poster bed, with cream curtains to give privacy if I want it.

It’s fit for a princess.

Nesting blankets and pillows are piled on it.

There’s a white vanity on the opposite side with a light-up mirror, and the closet is deep enough to fit five times the amount of clothes I have.

My bathroom is spacious, with a huge soaking tub, heated floors, and a massive shower.

“We wanted you to be as comfortable as possible,” Connor says softly. “We want you safe here, and to stay as long as you want.”

“Forever,” Ace adds.
