“I don’t either,” Hayden agrees. “Maybe it’s because we’re worth billions between the two of us that we don‘t have to give a shit about what anyone thinks, but I have no problem sharing you with my best friend and the world knowing it. My family isn’t close, and I’ve struggled with whether I wanted to be with someone. I was scared to end up in a loveless marriage like my parents. I haven’t been able to picture a future with any woman I’ve dated. The truth is, I was content just simply living with Brody and sharing my life with him. He’s more than my best friend. He’s my family, and the idea of being with you and him, the possibility of spending our lives together, makes me, for the first time, want a future with a woman. I would be nothing but proud to walk down the street with you…and Brody.”
Oh, my heart. I should be freaking out, but the way they love and care about each other and want me to be a part of their lives makes it so hard to be anything but in awe. But the problem is that the fantasy isn’t always the reality.
“I still need to think about this,” I tell them. “I need to make sure I’m okay with everything going into this. I know nothing is guaranteed, but I don’t want to say yes when I’m not completely sure.”
“We get it,” Brody says, leaning in and kissing my lips softly. My stomach knots, wanting more, but all too soon, he ends the kiss and looks at me with patience and understanding in his eyes. “If you need to talk, we’re here.”
As I’m nodding, wishing the kiss could continue, Hayden pinches my chin with his thumb and forefinger and turns my face toward him. His mouth crashes against mine, his tongue pushing past the seam of my lips. My body heats, and before I realize what I’m doing, I slide off Brody and into Hayden’s lap. He chuckles against my lips and breaks the kiss, making me pout.
“You see that?” he murmurs. “The way you felt when you kissed Brody and then me? You can have that all the time. You just have to say yes.” He briefly presses his mouth to mine and then stands, setting me on my feet.
The guys head toward the door, and I almost beg them to stay, but I really do need to think with a clear head. And I can’t do that in their laps while kissing them.
“We’ll wait to hear from you,” Brody says.
“But try not to make us wait too long,” Hayden adds with a wink.
CHAPTER SIXTEEN
AUBREE
“Let me get this straight. You have a harem of men who want you to be with them, and you’re asking me if I think you should do it?”
I roll my eyes at Lacey. “First of all, for it to be a harem, it’d have to be three or more guys with one woman. In my case, there are only two, so it would be a menage or a polyamorous relationship.”
Lacey snorts. “It sounds like you’re familiar with these terms. Is this the shit you read about? I might need to pick up reading.” She waggles her brows, and I groan.
“Can you focus, please?”
“Sorry.” She shrugs, clearly not at all sorry. “So Brody and Hayden knew the entire time you were dating them both, and instead of being mad, they proposed you continue to date them both. And you’re not sure if you should. Am I following?”
“Yes.” I’m also upset that they hid the fact that they knew all along, but since we all made some shitty choices, and they clearly aren’t mad that I was two-timing them, I’ve decided to let it go. No point in dwelling on what’s already happened.
“I only have one question,” Lacey says seriously, her eyes locking with mine. “Will you be fucked by them both at the same time?”
“Lacey!” I hiss, glancing around to make sure her husband isn’t listening.
“What?” She throws her arms up in the air. “C’mon, Bree. Just the other day, you were in tears because you thought you had to pick one and you couldn’t. Only to now be told that you get both of those yummy men. What’s the issue here?”
“The issue is…” I clear my throat. “The issue is that…” I sigh and bang my head on the table in frustration.
“The issue is that you’re seriously considering it, and that scares the hell out of you,” Lacey says, hitting the nail on the head.
I glance up at her. “This isn’t just like a one-time threesome, Lace. They want an actual relationship. Like to date both of them.” I swallow down the emotion clogging my throat. “They talked about a future. Like with the three of us and my kids.”
