Page 129 of The Truth of Our Secrets

Jayce tugs at his tie around my wrist.

“You can fuck me.” He tugs harder so we’re chest to chest. “Or we can test the headboard and see if it’s strong enough to hold you while I fuck you and Madyson.”

“You’re not playing fair,” I say, trying to decide.

“I play to win, my Angel, and you need to be between us so you understand you belong. No more your money and my moneyand her money. It’s all ours. Everything is ours and you have to be reminded.” He nips my ear. “You’ve made huge contributions to our overall financial wealth. Madyson’s gallery makes twenty percent more since you helped her set up a monthly report to email each artist for their hours worked versus time in the workshop. You make us better, so no arguing.”

“I guess there’s no arguing with a professional who’s spent his entire career playing to win,” I concede, because he’s right. We all win, no matter what.

“Exactly.” Madyson lies in the middle of the bed, spread eagle. “Don’t make me wait. I expect a dick in me right now.” Her eyes flare with desire.

“Do we have—” I don’t get all the words out before Jayce is pulling a small bottle of lube out of his discarded pants.

“You’re a goddamn Boy Scout.” I swat his bare ass and dive on the bed.

“Take me Daddy, take me.” I lie on top of Firecracker and bind my wrists.

“Up on your knees,” Jayce barks, rolling me off Madyson.

“I love having two bossy men in my bed,” Madyson says.

“Our bed,” I correct with a laugh.

“Oh, baby, talk dirty to me.” Madyson thrusts up and coats my cock with her arousal.

“Are you going to be our good boy tonight?” His thumb traces my hole, waking up all my nerve endings. He’s the master at stroking my desire with innocent touches before he takes me with the ferocity we crave.

“Mmm-hmmm,” I hum, kissing Madyson’s neck.

“Tonight is a new beginning for all of us. We have a new home, I’m divorced, and I want us to be committed to sharing everything.” Jayce joins us on the bed.

“Yes,” Madyson agrees with a breathy moan.

“Wait,” I rasp, seizing the perfect opportunity. They’re confused when I wriggle out of bed.

This will be unconventional, but so are we. I grab the box and steady myself for a naked proposal.

“At eighteen, I fantasized about my hot substitute teacher and her boyfriend. And dreamed of a life away from the trailer park. I was young and dumb, and you changed my life.” I climb up on the bed and kneel in front of them. Jayce scoots back, positioning himself against the headboard with Madyson in his lap.

“You’ve become both my reality and my dream.” I swallow hard and Firecracker gives me her sappy smile. Jayce places a hand on my knee and I take the lifeline.

“I never imagined unconditional love. And I found it with two people.” I mime blowing my mind. “This is for our new beginning.”

I open the ring box. “Will you promise me forever?”

Von designed three eternity bands. One rose gold with white diamonds, another platinum with black diamonds, and the last yellow gold with a rainbow of stones. They coordinate without being matchy-matchy.

Madyson’s hands cover her mouth as she nods. “Emmet, I love you.”

When she holds out her hand, the rose gold band slips in place next to the diamond Jayce gave her. They’re a perfect complement.

Jayce murmurs, “You’re incredible,” as I slide the black diamonds next to his tungsten band from Madyson. He grips the back of my neck and hauls me in for a searing kiss. He rests his forehead on mine. “I will love you till the day I die.”

I exhale and my heart expands larger than our new room.

“Let me.” Jayce takes the rainbow ring out and places it on my ring finger. “I promise to make you and our life together my first priority. This has been the best year of my life. And it’s only going to get better.” Jayce pulls all our heads together and our tongues dance in sync.

My throat constricts and my tongue’s heavy in my mouth. It’s difficult to express the all-encompassing love I have for them. They’re my world. “You both are my everything.”
