My pulse grows wings, thrumming as fast as a hummingbird. “But…”
“Please.” Reid’s tone is almost a whisper. The strongest man I’ve ever known is out here begging me to take a chance on them, when I feel like it’s the other way around entirely.
“It’s you who would be taking a risk, taking the biggest gamble by inviting me into your lives. I couldn’t bear it if I upended your world, your life?—”
Henri chuckles. “Oh, you’ve upended things, alright. In the most miraculous way. We love each other, we trust each other, and the same goes for how we feel about you.”
I search his eyes, finding only those beautiful flecks of green and amber in his hazel gaze. “It’s so fast.” My reply comes out hushed.
“They say good things come to those who wait? I’d say the three of us have been waiting a long time to find each other. Now we have… who are we to deny that? Who are we to do anything but be brave and live our best lives?”
Henri leans across the center console to kiss me, sealing those words.
“The answer you’re searching for is,yes,Henri, that sounds like the most genius idea you’ve ever had,” he mumbles and smirks against my lips, as he fills my veins with so much happiness I feel like I’m spinning.
“Be ours. Be part of our love story, sugar.” Reid swoops in and kisses me with a reassurance I didn’t know was possible to feel from something as simple as a moment such as this.
“I want that. I want you both.” Nudging my nose against his, I can’t believe this is happening.
It took less than three days to fall head over heels for them both.
Two men, who I’ve never felt more alive with than when I’m wrapped in their arms.
And it’s only one heartbeat before I know my answer.
They’re my forever.
EPILOGUE
THREE YEARS LATER
Henri:
Have you been practicing your French?
Me:
Wouldn’t you like to know.
Henri:
I would. Very much.
Reid:
You’re making her blush.
Me:
He only wants to teach me the naughty phrases.
Henri:
Don’t pretend like it doesn’t turn you on.
What do you want tonight?
You’ll have to tell me.
