“And you love it!” Nate replies.
I tilt my face to Nate and snatch a kiss from him before returning to my place on Mason’s chest to get one from him too.
A few weeks ago, kissing them in such quick succession almost gave me an aneurysm.
Now, though, it’s so fucking right I could cry.
My first thought is I don’t deserve this.
But I’m changing the narrative.
I deserve all the love they’ve decided to give me.
And from now on, I’ll give it all right back.

NATE
Two weeks later…
“How long have I been on this thing?” I ask as I balance myself back and forth on the rolling board.
Laney glances down at her phone timer. “You’ve broken your record, let’s just say that.”
I refocus my eyes forward on the spot on the wall. All of my muscles ripple with tension. I’m using a balance board to get back into shape for surfing. If I’m going to get back on the water, Laney wants me in tip top shape.
Of course, part of becoming a good surfer is actuallysurfing, but I’ll do anything to appease her.
With a final sigh, I slide the board down so one edge is on the ground, ending my session. “Okay…whew…” I pat my core that’s aching from all the work. “I need a break.”
Laney leaps up from her place on the couch and wraps her arms around me, ensnaring me in a kiss that surprises me in the best way.
“Mmph…” I grunt against her mouth before sighing in delicious relief, running my hands through her hair.
She pulls away, looking up at me with such tenderness Ithink I might melt. Or need to haul her over my shoulder and take her to bed. “I’m so proud of you. You’re doing so well.”
My eyebrows jump, and I smile. “Yeah?”
“You think I’m lying?” She scoffs, pulling away from me.
I follow close behind, not ready to let her go. “No, I just…you know, still getting used to you being out of character. Like you’reLaneyLaney right now, not therapist Laney.”
She throws her head back in laughter. When she gets home from work, she strips out of her scrubs and lets down her hair, and when I tell you it’s a transformation akin to frickin’ Cinderella putting on a ballgown, I’m not lying.
After we solidified our relationship, Laney put in her notice with her new live-in client.
I’m not going to have her live with anyone but me right now,obviously. Now she does work at the hospital where we reconnected almost a year ago, always coming home to me without fail.
Some days, it’s me coming home to her as work at the club can be heavier depending on the day.
We haven’t yet had to deal with one of my trips, but that’s coming up. I know I’m going to be totally wrecked without her.
Laney tosses her hair to the side. “You’re right, I’m cheerleader Laney right now.”
My dick jumps. “New kink unlocked.”
Her mouth falls open. “You’redirty.”
