I blushed at that, knowing he already knew I did.

He chuckled. "I'll amend that. Did you like it enough that you could get used to it?"

"I don't know if I'll ever get used to that," I answered honestly. It was the most mind-blowing sex I'd ever had. There was likely no getting used to that. Especially if, or rather when, we introduced Rosie into the mix. I knew from experience how fiery she was and couldn't wait to see what she would have planned for everyone in the bedroom.

"I don't think you'll ever get me used to it, but I'd sure like to see you try," I told him.

He grinned. "You're perfect. I told them we got damn lucky with you."

"I'm the lucky one."

"We can all count ourselves lucky once we solve the train issue," he said.

I snuggled closer to him. "What will happen if the tracks are destroyed? Will you be okay?"

"We'll be alright, but we'd have to leave. That's the last thing any of us want to do."

I furrowed my brow. "You won't have to. We'll fix things, somehow."

"If anyone can, it's you," Gauge insisted as he lifted my straps and put my shirt back into place. "I believe in you. Let's get you home so you can rest and we can come up with a plan."

When we got back to their apartment, his bed greeted me and dragged me almost immediately into sleep.

Chapter Twenty-One

Emma

When I woke up, Gauge was lying in bed with me. He pulled me tighter into him and asked, "Were you dreaming about me?"

"I don't really remember. Why?"

"You were mumbling something about a train, and since I'm obviously your favorite train—"

"For now!" Jamie's voice boomed through the open door.

I rolled my eyes and smirked. "If you guys are listening already, you might as well come in."

"Like I need permission," Rosie said, pushing the door the rest of the way open with Jamie close on her heels.

She took the armchair in the corner of the room and sat down, facing the bed.

Jamie hopped on the bed and crawled over to me. "Good to see you again, sweetheart."

I blushed a little at that, but they didn't give me a chance to feel weird about it. Instead, they wrapped their leg over mine, trapping me between them and Gauge, and kissed me.

I felt Gauge's hum of approval on my back as I lost myself to Jamie's kiss.

"I thought we were trying to plan." Rosie's voice snapped me out of the moment.

I pulled back from Jamie, who turned their attention to Rosie and asked, "Really?"

"Really. Didn't I tell you that you had to behave?"

I was surprised that Jamie listened to her and didn't move to kiss me again. Instead, they nuzzled into my neck, grumbling, “Fine. But I’m staying here.”

"As long as you don't distract us. I actually had an idea," Rosie said. "You work for the tourism board, right?"

I nodded, surprised she knew that.
