Orin comes up behind me and runs the tips of his fingers over the exposed skin on my arms, saying, “He’s sleeping soundly, so don’t worry.” I’m glad Zander is sleeping. I wouldn’t want to have to explain any of this to him only weeks after leaving his dad.

I’ve been ready to move on for so long that it seems like it’s been years. I guess that’s why I’m not really stopping any of this, and embracing it instead.

The soft notes ofMy Personby Spencer Crandall play from the sound system Jonas installed as a ‘housewarming gift’ to Zander. The words and meaning behind them are not lost on me.

Gemini moves one finger between my skin and the waistband of my pants, back and forth, teasing me as he gazes up at me, a questioning look in his eyes.

I nod, giving him the go-ahead, and he doesn’t hesitate.

Undoing the button and zipper, he tugs down my pants, leaving my underwear in place. He helps me step out of them, and Jonas comes up to my side, holding out his hand to keep me steady. Orin continues peppering his sweet kisses on my neck, slowly making his way down my free arm.

Gemini joins his brother in making it his life goal to kiss every inch of my skin, and he starts at my knee. I never considered it an erogenous zone but he’s proving that it absolutely is. When my knees give out, Gemini catches me and lowers me the rest of the way down until my back is resting on the soft material of the blanket.

Orin places a pillow under my head, pulling my hair out from under me, and he begins playing with it. It’s so relaxing I close my eyes, enjoying the pampering for once.

Settling on his stomach, Gemini throws my legs over his shoulders and slides my panties to the side.

Right as he swipes the flat of his tongue over my core, I hear Zander call out. My eyes fly open and I sit up, closing my legs on Gemini’s head, making a slapping sound as they hit the sides of his head.

“Shit, I’m sorry,” I whisper loudly while frantically searching for my pants.

“I’ve got him,” Orin says, saving me from embarrassing myself even more.

“Thank you,” I say as he gets up and strides past me down the hall to my son's room. I truly appreciate him going to help with him, but when I look down at Gemini, and then over to Jonas who went to turn the music off, we all burst with laughter at the untimely interruption.

“I’m going to take a cold shower,” Jonas says, giving me a wink as he passes by.

“Come on, baby. Let's watch bad TV,” Gemini says, helping me up and gathering the blanket and a couple of pillows for us to get comfortable on the couch together.

“You guys gonna stay the night?” I ask, facing the TV with my back tucked into Gemini’s front.

“If you want us to,” he answers, kissing my hair.

“I’d like it if you did. But maybe only one of you sleeps in my room?” I form the last part as a question, not wanting to upset anyone, but also thinking of my son.

“That won’t be a problem, baby. Now hush, and let's lose a few brain cells watching this show,” he teases me.

A satisfied smile spreads over my face, and even though I didn’t have much to look forward to this morning, I sure do now.

MybodytwingesasI’m jostled slightly as Gemini changes positions, then comes right back, twining our bodies together as much as he can with my injuries.

A new masculine scent tickles my nose, but not enough to rouse me from sleep, and I sink back down into unconsciousness.

Reluctant to leave the warmth under the covers and Gemini, I lay there for a few more moments, letting my mind drift to what my life could be like had I married a man like him, Orin, or Jonas.

When the sun filtering through my cream-colored curtains can’t be ignored anymore, I know it’s time to get up. Shifting little by little, I make my way to the edge of the bed, slipping out and turning my head to check that I didn’t wake Gemini.

Only, it’s not him lying in bed with me anymore. It’s Jonas.

A beam of sunlight highlights the lighter streaks in his golden blond hair. It’s long on top and tapered as it goes down the sides and back of his head.

His chest rises and falls slightly with his shallow breaths. It’s well defined and easily seen even through his t-shirt. The covers are pooled around his waist and his right leg goes over the edge of the bed, disappearing over the side. But he’s sleeping soundly.

The emotions he evokes sleeping soundly in my bed, are all warm and loving. Still examining them, I quietly exit, checking in on Zander in his room across the hall. He’s fast asleep in his new racecar bed. The urge to pee beckons me to make my way to the one bathroom at the end of the hall.
