“I don’t know what you mean,” came my soft murmur. “Because there’s no way it can happen. Knox is a middle-income town, and we don’t have enough donors for seed money. Even if I emptied my bank account,” I said, flushing and looking down. “It’s nowhere near enough. I would, but we wouldn’t be able to survive, not in the long term.”

But this is where having billionaires on your side makes a difference. Because the alphas’ eyes gleamed, the blue so startling that my breath caught.

“Honey, we’ve got it all set up for you,” Mason growled. “The bankers, the accountants, the lawyers, you’re gonna meet with them Monday to get this show on the road. We’re gonna help you start your own non-profit, doing good for kids in Knox.”

I gasped.

“Bu- but why?” was my stammer. “I mean, it’s for low-income children, yes, but why are you pulling out all the stops? There are so many worthy causes, what makes my idea stand out? Not that the children of Knox don’t deserve it,” I added hastily. “We appreciate your generosity so much. This is just out of the blue,” I managed in an emotional tone.

And to my horror, tears began rising, my eyes growing damp.

“Thank you,” I said again, looking down at my hands. “Thank you so much.”

The men surrounded me immediately, on their knees as I sat on the couch, forming a circle that was warm yet powerful at once. I could face anything with them at my side.

“Baby, don’t you know why?” Tyler rumbled deep in his chest, blue eyes searching my face. “Isn’t it obvious?”

“There’s a reason why we’re still here in Knox,” added Kane, his gaze penetrating, searing my skin. “We could have bounced a week ago, packed up and left.”

Mason nodded as well.

“It’s because we adore you, baby girl. You’ve shown us that there’s so much more than making money and ruling the world. There’s happiness in the details, peace and harmony in small-town living. So we’re making a commitment to this tiny town. Knox is getting its first non-profit serving low-income children, and you’re going to be its Executive Director.”

My heart overflowed then. Really? There could be nothing better, absolutely nothing in the world.

“Thank you,” I cried out, clasping their hands in mine, pressing my lips to theirs. “Thank you, thank you.”

And the males growled, immediately aroused as the vee to my robe dropped open, revealing swells of cream within.

“Thank us another way, sweetheart,” rumbled Mason, dick already twitching once more, beginning to harden. “There are some creative ways you can thank us.”

I giggled then, the hot play resuming once more. And it was so good, wildly dirty and yet deeply satisfying all the same.

So yes, that’s how I came to have my own non-profit organization in Knox. It’s not going to be big, it’s not going to change the world. But I hope it makes difference in the lives of a few children at least. If it does, then I’ll consider my work done.

But in the meantime, I was here to chitchat with Elaine. So much had happened recently that we hadn’t had a chance to catch up in a long time, and my best friend was dying for deets.

Standing on her doorstep, I took a deep breath. Could I reveal what I was up to? How to share the truth, when it was admittedly shocking? After all, I was in love with three men, giving my all to three powerful alpha billionaires. Knowing Elaine’s judgy nature, it was a little nerve-wracking to say the least.

Ringing the bell, I shifted my weight from foot to foot, butterflies making me nauseous inside.

Stop! the voice in my head scolded. She’s your best friend, it’s going to be fine.

And Elaine opened the door just as I pasted a smile on my face.

“Well aren’t you a sight for sore eyes,” she smiled warmly while embracing me.

“It’s good to see you too,” I managed in a reasonably confident tone.

But Elaine is still Elaine because as we walked into the living room, I gasped at the chaos and destruction. Her closet had exploded with the contents landing everywhere. Bathing suits, dresses, sandals and lingerie littered the couch, coffee table and floor. Just about every square inch of space was covered, not an inch of carpet peeking through.

“Whoa, what’s going on here?” I gasped. “Are you guys okay? Did a hurricane come by?”

My hand reached out to pick up a random article of clothing, dangling it with quizzical eyes. We both shared a laugh as she grabbed her dress out of my fist.

“I’m trying to pack for my honeymoon, silly. Bobby and I leave for Tahiti the day after tomorrow and I’m having a horrible time deciding what to take.” She plopped down on the floor where her suitcase lay open, but empty. “But now that you’re here, you can help me decide,” she said cheerily, holding up a tiny bikini top. “What do you think?”

I sat down near her on the floor with my legs tucked.
