Myron.

Dumbfounded and numb, I plopped down on the couch and read the letter over…then again.

“I know you’re probably upset with us, little one,” Nick began as he eased down beside me.“But it was the only solution Dylan and I could come up with to keep from losing you.I know we went behind your back…broke your trust, and kept secrets from you.”

“We could say we’re sorry, but that would be a lie,” Dylan murmured, joining us on the couch.“We’ve tried, but neither of us can wrap our heads around the idea of letting you go.You left us once…we can’t go through that again.”

“What did you say to Myron?”I asked, trying to dissect and compartmentalize the flood of emotions flowing through me.

Nick chuckled.“The truth.I told him you swept us off our feet.That the week we spent with you at Kit’s was the single most life-altering experience we’ve ever had.”

“He put us through the wringer for the first thirty minutes.He knows more about our lives than we do.”Dylan flashed that sexy dimple in a pleading, scared smile.“Don’t be mad, Savannah.We want and need you.We’ll do anything in our power to make this work.”

“I don’t have a job anymore,” I mumbled.

As I continued reeling with the knowledge that Myron had put his life on hold to ensure I was taken care of, the realization of what my Masters had orchestrated…the desperation of their need to build a life with me, slammed my system.

Tingles of joy exploded through me, sending my heart soaring.

“I don’t have to leave you and go back home,” I breathlessly whispered.“I can stay,” I screamed, launching off the couch with a childish giggle.I danced around the room.

“Yes.Yes you can, kitten.”Dylan laughed.

Dragging them both off the couch, I wrapped them in a tight hug.As cheers went up around the room, I closed my eyes and exhaled a mammoth sigh of relief.

“This is the best present I ever had, Masters.Thank you.Thank you so much.”I peppered their faces with kisses.

“We’re just glad you’re not pissed, little one.”Nick grinned.

“How could I be pissed?You two have made all my dreams come true.”Tears of joy filled my eyes as another revelation plowed through me.“I can go on the cruise now.”

“We wouldn’t have gone without you.”Dylan frowned.

Nick drew back his hand and landed a hard spank to my ass.I jolted and yelped as he leveled me with an unhappy glare.“You’ve been keeping your feelings from us again, haven’t you?”

“Not keeping, Master, saving.I was saving them to share with you later…when the three of us were alone.”

I darted a glance around the room, drinking in the smiling faces… well, all except Mika.A bittersweet expression lined his face as he stared out the window.My heart grew heavy knowing that, once upon a time, he experienced the same unadulterated bliss still pinging inside me.The emptiness and pain of having it ripped from his life had to be staggering.

“Dude,” Dylan barked, drawing my focus back to my amazing Masters.“She’s staying.Our girl’s fucking staying.”

As he extended a fist, Nick laughed and nodded as they bumped fists.“I know.”He grinned.“It’s fan-fucking-tastic!”

“So, who’s ready for Christmas pizza?”Dylan called out.

Weeks after my life-altering Christmas surprise, my feet still weren’t touching the ground.Gone was the nagging worry of leaving my masters, replaced by happiness and an invigorating sense of freedom.

The last week of February, we took advantage of the break in the winter weather and drove to Kansas City to clean out my apartment.We spent two days loading up a U-Haul, then

enjoyed a delightful dinner with Myron and Helen.They were already making plans to fly to Paris as soon as Myron wrapped up a few loose ends and officially closed the office.They were both delighted to finally meet Dylan and Nick, and spent hours talking about excavation and artifacts.

Helen joined me when I took a trip to the ladies’ room.I was shocked when she gleefully asked what being loved by two men at once was like.When I told her, I was pretty sure our girlish giggles could be heard throughout the fancy restaurant.

While it was harder than I expected to say goodbye to them, Dylan and Nick’s invitation for them to come visit helped ease my sadness.After assuring us they would, I shared one final, poignant embrace with the couple and kissed their cheeks.

As soon as we returned to the hotel and entered our suite, Dylan and Nick began peeling off my clothes.A tingle of excitement zipped up my spine, and a smile spread over my lips.I was hopelessly lost when they undressed me with such tender care.

“I hope I’m as good of a boss as Myron,” Nick stated, loosening his tie.
