Chase knew he would hurt anyone who tried to harm his woman. The anger was building inside him with every curse word his father said. He stared at the man who raised him and was disappointed in what he saw. There was no acceptance in his eyes, only disgust.
“We didn’t come here today to ask for your permission,” Mitch said.
“No, we fucking didn’t.” Chase looked his father in the eye, so he knew who he was talking to.
“We love each other. Chase and I have loved Leah all of our lives. Leah loves us. She never wanted to choose between us, and we don’t want her to. We are happy sharing her. She is the woman we want to grow old with.”
Chase listened to his friend’s words and felt them deep in his heart.
“You all love each other and would do anything to stay with each other. Why can’t you see what we’re doing? We’re twenty-five years old, and we’re going to start a family. Leah is pregnant, and all of you will be grandparents within the next year.”
“That will be no grandchild of mine,” his father said. Chase kept his eyes on his father.
“Then you’re no parent of mine.”
“You’d turn your back on your family for that whore.”
Chase fisted his hands at his side. Leah reached out, touching his arm. She didn’t want him to murder the bastard. He knew she’d been trying to prepare him in the car for this kind of outburst. Chase knew he should have expected it, but he’d thought his father wouldn’t be like that. He loved his parents. Chase loved Leah more. She was his future, and if his parents refused to accept that, then they would have no place in his life.
“I’d turn my back on my family for the woman I love. Leah is the same person. She hasn’t changed, and I love her with my whole heart. Mitch is my best friend. I’m not giving them up for anyone,” Chase said.
“I think we all need to calm down before we say something we might regret,” Mitch’s father said.
They all agreed. Chase wrapped his arms around Leah kissing the top of her head as he did.
“I love you,” he whispered against her skin.
“I love you, too.”
Mitch squeezed his shoulder and nodded his head at him.
He’d done right. Chase knew there was no future without his friends. His and Leah’s parents left. Mitch’s father showed them to their room.
“I can’t promise anything. You will always be welcome here,” Mitch’s father said. “I’m looking forward to a grandbaby.” There was a smile on the older man’s face.
Mitch chuckled.
“They’ll come around. I’m not shocked, but then you have cousins in a similar situation, son. Take care, and I’ll see you soon.”
The door closed behind him leaving the three alone.
“Wow, that was intense,” Leah said. Chase rubbed her back wondering how she was coping.
“How are you doing, baby?” Chase asked.
“I’m fine. My nerves got the better of me. I’ve never been called a whore before. I didn’t like it.”
“We don’t think of you like that, Leah.” Mitch sat on her other side and took her hand.
“We’re in this together, sweetheart. Not just because of the baby,” Chase said, pressing a hand to her stomach.
“If it wasn’t for the baby we wouldn’t be here.” Leah tucked her hair behind her ear. Chase took her chin in hand and turned her to look at him.
“No, it’s not. We were already destined to be here. You can’t deny what you feel. I’m never going to lie to you.” He pressed her hand against his chest. “This is all yours. You and Mitch are my everything.”
Tears filled her eyes once again.
