Landon laughed dryly. “Fuck what anyone else thinks.”
“What do you think?” I wasn’t going to be the only one who had to verbally expose myself.
Landon opened the door wider and stepped aside. “I think you’d better both get your asses in here, so we can finish this conversation.”
Megan and I stepped inside, and I squeezed her hand.
“Did you know what he was going to say?” Landon asked Megan.
She nodded. “I had a pretty good idea.”
“So no one is going to have a problem with me doing this?” He wrapped an arm around her waist, yanked her into him, and crushed their mouths together.
I knew how that kiss felt from both sides, and understood the duet of groans. When the kiss ended, Megan hovered her fingers over her lips.
“No one has a problem with that,” I said. “In fact, I think everyone might be disappointed if you hadn’t done that.”
“Did he tell you yet? Do I get to say it first? I love you,” Megan said. “As much as I love Nigel, but in a different way, and I really hope you feel the same.”
Landon brushed his lips over hers again, then did the same to me. “I don’t think he and I are atloveyet, but we’re close. And you… It killed me to walk away from you both last night. I just never thought…”
“You’re family,” I said. “And nothing will change that.”

This entire moment felt surreal, and when Nigel saidyou’re family, I thought my heart might explode. This wasn’t real. It couldn’t be.
But it was, andGodit felt good.
Megan’s sudden pout was concerning, though. “What’s wrong?”
“You were going to let us go without a fight.”
My reasons why seemed weak now. Poorly thought out. I didn’t know how to explain it to her. “That time with both of you…”
“Restored your faith in love, right?” Nigel sounded hopeful.
Eh… “Not the way you’re thinking.”
“You didn’t answer my question.” Megan was still frowning.
Nigel gave me a look I couldn’t interpret until he said, “I told you she’d make you finish your thoughts.”
Which was fair. “I would’ve fought for either of you. For both of you. But not the two of you together. You can’t be taken apart.”
“You didn’t have to. You just need to be with us.” Megan made it sound like the simplest answer in the world.
“I didn’t think that would be an option.”
Nigel twisted his mouth. “But you wanted it to be.”
I never thought I’d have this, and it didn’t feel real, but… “I still want it to be.”
“And it is. This is real, I promise,” Megan said.
She made this too easy, but that had been the case from the start. Being drawn to her was easy. Being with her was easy. Spending time with Nigel was an unusual kind of comfort and camaraderie.
