I take a step forward.
They do too.
When I stop in front of them, I can’t breathe. They suffocate me in the best way imaginable. They accept me for all of my quirks. With them, I am seen. I’m respected. Not just there to be used for pleasure.
I open my mouth, and nothing comes out.
And then, at the same time, they both lean in.
Reggie first. His lips brushing my left cheek. My eyes flutter closed, letting the moment sink in. The moment we finally all break into something better for us all.
Rowan is next, on my right, his is softer.
The touch is barely there, but it unravels me all the same.
It’s not about choosing between them. It’s about them deciding to both have me.
My hands tremble at my sides, and I realize I’m shaking because it feels too intimate, too real.
Like forgiveness, and heartbreak, and promise, all at once.
When they both pull back, the space between us feels sacred.
I blink, trying to keep it together. “So… we’re all friends now?”
Reggie’s eyebrow arches. “Friends? We’re way past that.”
Rowan’s voice drops low. “She’s fucking with us.”
“That’s why you need me.” I wink.
But for the first time in what feels like forever, it doesn’t scare me.
Because whatever this is. Whatever we are… it’s real.
Messy. Human. Ours.
Something that feels this right can’t be wrong. Whatever society might think. I’ve never been one that wants to conform anyway.
I just want what my heart wants. Which is them. My two Irish twins.
And maybe that’s enough.
Fuck what anyone else thinks. I only care what they think about me. If I want them both and they want me.
Who is going to stop us?
No one.

“Make as much mess as you want. I’ve got a team ready for cleanup,” Hunter tells me, clapping my shoulder.
“Appreciate it,” I tell him, shoving open the door.
The light inside is harsh and wrong, fluorescent spit across concrete and dry blood. Rowan slides his hand into Bella’s as if they’re walking into a movie, not a cellar where men end. She doesn’t flinch. Of course she doesn’t. She wants to watch. And whatever my Princess wants, she gets.
