He fell on her, not wanting to break the connection yet.
He felt another hand on his head.Not Red’s.Keane’s.Whenhe looked up his friend was smiling at him.
He started to move.“It’s your turn.”
Keane’s hand held fast.“Let’s take a breath.”
Red grinned up at him.“He needs a minute.He enjoyed theencounter, too.Let’s just say my lower back has the evidence.”
Keane’s face was lit with a joy Garrett hadn’t seen therebefore.It made him look younger and far more carefree.“I couldn’t help it.You two were hot.”
Garrett laughed and gently kissed her.“It won’t take himlong, baby.”
“I hope not,” she whispered.“Because I want both my men.”
It was all he could ask for.His friend and their girl.
He hoped tomorrow morning he could make it happen.

Olivia closed the door behind her as quietly aspossible.The last thing she wanted was to wake up those two hot Doms and havethem tell her they didn’t want the night to end and they wanted to see heragain.
Or they would go back to being awkward and she would regretevery decision she made tonight.
It had been a perfect night.She didn’t want to ruin it withreality.
Didn’t she?She’d lain there for hours and thought aboutwhat she wanted.She didn’t even know where they lived.They’d mentionedAustin.It was hours from Willow Fork, though her brothers often made the trip.
And then she’d thought about how it would feel if theyrejected her.
So she was running.
“Hey, that dress held up nicely.It elevates your walk ofshame,” a familiar voice said.
Bobby was sitting in the hallway outside the room.He hadtwo travel mugs of coffee in his hands.
Oh, how she loved him.She let go of that dream.She hadloved Bobby Farley since she was a kid, and the truth of the matter was heloved her, too.He was an amazing friend and supported everything she did.Thefact that he couldn’t make her body hum like it was now didn’t mean their lovewas any less.
He struggled to stand, his expression falling.“You’recrying.What did they do?”
It brought a smile to her face, and an odd peace settledover her.This was right.She’d spent the last couple of years railing againstfate, but this was who they were supposed to be.There were no mistakes, noroads untaken.Only this amazing man she loved who was her friend.“I just loveyou.”
She moved in and wrapped her arms around him while he stillheld on to the coffees.
“Uh, I love you, too, Livie.But now I’m worried the nightdidn’t go well.”
She sighed and released him, cupping his face with herhands.“It was perfect.Beyond perfect.There was an academy and I sold myselfto it because I was a poor girl, and Papa was a rambling man so I had to takecare of Nana by allowing the academy to sell my virginity to two wealthygentlemen.”
His face split in a wide grin, and he offered her a coffee.“Well, that sounds like a full evening.Is Nana going to survive?”
They started walking down the hallway.Her room was threefloors up.She took a sip of the coffee and it was perfect.A little cream.Twosugars.“Nana is doing well.Her surgery will be taken care of and all mysiblings will get new shoes for the winter, and all I had to do was two hotguys.”
“Seriously, they let you make up a whole role play?”Bobbyasked with a smile as they made it to the elevator and pressed the button.
She strode onto the elevator.Forced herself to becausethere was a big part of her that wanted to get back into that room and pretendlike she hadn’t walked away.She could slide back in and they could start themorning right.
Except she didn’t have a key.Between having to knock andadmit what she’d done and having Bobby waiting for her, all arrows pointed tostay the course.
