August led me into our bedroom and shut the door. Releasing my hand, he moved to my desk and grabbed a scroll I’d never seen before. “Here are the blueprints,” he said while spreading it out.
I walked over to him and peered over his shoulder. “What is this?” I asked.
“It’s more energy efficient. The architect’s design is really something special,” August explained excitedly. “It has an atrium, and I already spoke with an award-winning landscaper about the gardens. It isn’t as big as this castle; in fact, it’s significantly smaller, but it backs up to a lake so—”
“August,” I interrupted. “Are these plans for us?”
He spun around to face me with a big grin on his face while Leo and Atticus surrounded me. “This castle has a lot of memories, Christine. Most of them are bad,” he said as tears filled my eyes.
Leo spoke up. “Coming back to Aldrich was hard on you. You shouldn’t have to live somewhere that traumatizes you.”
“You shouldn’t have to raise our baby here, either,” Atticus added.
August turned back to the plans. “It won’t be ready for a few years, but this is where I want our family to be, Christine. This is where we can make our own story.”
I looked around the room. “What about here?”
“We can turn it into whatever we want it to be. Yasmin suggested a homeless shelter and training center. We could refurbish everything and make it a place for the people of Aldrich. Maybe put some good back into these walls,” Leo said with a smile.
“A castle is expensive, August. We’re still recovering from your father’s shady investments. The country won’t allow for such spending.”
August and Atticus exchanged a look. “I happen to have a very good investor,” August said.
Atticus pulled me into his side and kissed my temple. “I want you to be happy, Little Monster. We all think this would be good for our family.”
I wanted a place where my family could be happy. I just didn’t think it would ever happen. “Okay,” I told them.
August’s eyes went wide. “Really? You’re not going to argue with me or ask me a million questions?” he asked.
“No. You are right. I don’t like living here, and I don’t care how we do it, but let’s get out of this castle. Together. With our baby,” I said.
Leo and Atticus pulled me into their arms as August squealed.
I knew that the four of us would be happy no matter where we were.
ONE YEAR LATER…
“Is she asleep?” I asked, my voice groggy as August shuffled into the room.
“Nuzzled warm in her crib. You know she loves to fall asleep snuggling her Papa.” I grinned at him and stretched out on the mattress. Leo was sitting beside me, and Atticus was pouring over a document at the desk.
“I’m worn out, though,” August added. “How do people take care of a baby with just two parents? We need a fucking army.”
I chuckled, shaking my head. “That’s why we have each other,” I said, reaching out to stroke August’s arm. He smiled softly and leaned against me for a moment.
Leo slid closer, meeting my gaze with a mischievous glimmer in his eyes. His strong hand found mine and he tugged me closer until I felt the warmth of his body next to mine. August shifted over as well, pressing up against my other side while Atticus watched quietly from across the room. “Since Kate is asleep, why don’t we enjoy some of the downtime?”
The air around us suddenly seemed charged with electricity as Leo placed a gentle kiss on my neck. That single touch set off an explosion of arousal within me, sending a tingle down my spine that left me wanting more.
I tilted my head to give Leo better access as his lips slid down my neck, pressing gentle kisses against my collarbone. Beside me, August was doing the same, making me feel like I was the center of their universe. With each kiss, each touch, I felt my heart pounding faster and my lungs struggling to take in enough breath.
“I’m in the mood to worship my queen,” Leo growled, sitting up to press a kiss against my lips. The room was filled with the sounds of soft kisses, the rustle of clothing being tossed to the floor, and the murmur of deepening voices.
I felt my body heating up as Leo’s lips began a trail down my stomach. I closed my eyes, allowing my mind to fully relax and focus on the sensation of each kiss and touch. Leo’s hands felt good sliding over my chest as I closed my eyes.
August’s entire body vibrated with desire as he dragged his lips across my neck and collarbone, his erect cock pressing against my hip. I felt myself go wet, my pussy tingling with anticipation as I curved my back.
“I want you all so much,” I sighed. “Please.”
