“That’s awesome, peanut!” I replied happily. “He must have been on an adventure, huh?”
“He sure has!” Hunter agreed. “He searched all over the city to find Willow. He almost made it home too. I found him right down the street on his way to you, munchkin.”
“I missed you so much!” Willow told the lion as she crushed him to her chest. “Thank you, Hunter. I knew you could finds him.”
“We couldn’t have our girl upset now, could we?” Hunter said, then he leaned in to kiss the top of her head, only further covering himself in glitter, but he didn’t seem to care.
“I love you, Hunter,” Willow told him as she wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him. I was instantly choked up by it, especially when I saw how taken aback Hunter looked by her words.
“I love you too, Willow,” he told her in a rough voice, that exposed his emotion, as he hugged her closely.
Hunter placed Willow on her feet, then she dragged him over to the table, to show him what she had made. She called Nico over to come and take a look too, and she chattered away about the ice palace she had made, and the penguins and polar bears who were going to live there. They all surrounded her, smiling and joining in with her crazy conversation.
I just stood back and watched, my eyes filled with tears and my throat tight with emotion. They loved her, I realized. They weren’t just humoring her, or making her happy to please me. They really loved her and wanted to be a part of her life. They would be amazing father figures in her future, if I allowed them to be. They would make her happy and keep her safe. That was all I had ever wanted for her.
I knew a relationship with four guys wouldn’t be easy, but as they kept on telling me, as long as we loved each other, we could make it work. And I wanted it to work, because I loved them too, and I couldn’t imagine my life without the four of them in it. We had a long road ahead of us, but I wasn’t scared, because that road was bright and promising and I knew we would all walk it together.
EPILOGUE
Four months later….
I knocked on Cam’s office door, even though I knew he was the only one in there. I heard him call out so I walked in and paused in the doorway.
“Hey. Nico said you needed me,” I asked as I looked to where he sat behind his desk. I couldn’t hold in my smile as I took in how amazing he looked sat there in his black slacks, white shirt, and grey vest. He looked so different to the broken man he had been when I first arrived at the guys house. His appointments with his therapist, working with Nico and some good nights of sleep had changed him so drastically. He smiled all of the time now, and he wasn’t as anxious about being in public any more. He still didn’t like crowds, but he was working on that, and it had been months since he had a panic attack. He still had the occasional nightmare, but they weren’t as violent as they were previously, and I was usually able to wake him before it got bad. He still missed Everett of course. We all did. But Cam was working hard to find his way forward and we were all so proud of him.
“Lock the door,” he told me as he looked to me mischievously. I loved this side of him. It was the side I used to know when we were kids – full of fun and up to no good.
“Cam, we can’t,” I giggled, but I was already closing the door behind me. “We can’t be late tonight.”
“We won’t be late if you lock that door and get your cute ass over here,” he teased.
I locked the door and hurried across his spacious office. He had decorated the place himself, painting the walls a bright, modern pale gray. Framed artsy photographs of the city hung on the walls. The desk was antique and made of dark oak. It dominated the room, but looked great, especially with Cam sat behind it.
I bypassed the two leather arm chairs that sat before the desk and went straight to Cam. He grabbed my hand and pulled me over until I was between his legs where he sat in his leather office chair. I placed my hands on his shoulders and looked into his beautiful blue eyes.
“What can I do for you, sir?” I asked as I fluttered my eyelashes.
Nico and Cam had opened the office three months ago, and since then it had been doing great, the kind of business they offered seeming to be in demand. Nico dealt with the clients while Cam did a lot of the office based work and liaised with the employees they had hired. It seemed to work for them and they both seemed happy and excited about the venture.
I worked in the office and manned the reception desk a few hours a day, several days a week. At first it had just been a distraction to stop me drowning in my grief over Noah.
I’d like to say that eased, but it didn’t really. I guess the grief lessened as time passed, but the pain didn’t. When Noah died, he took a part of me with him, and I knew I would never get that piece back. I could never be whole after losing my child, and it hurt whenever I thought about him. I knew that would never go away. I knew it would always hurt to know he wasn’t with me, where he should be. But as the months had passed I had found a way to live with the pain. I could put it away deep inside of me and smile with my daughter and the men I loved. I could be happy and I could keep going, but he was always with me, and he always would be.
Now I was in a better place, I worked at the office because I liked being there. It gave me a sense of purpose to organize the office and keep the guys in line with paperwork, plus working with two of the guys you loved, had its perks.
“That fucking skirt is killing me, Mads,” Cam growled. I looked down at myself as if I had no idea what he was talking about, but I had chosen my outfit especially for him, knowing it would drive him wild. He had a thing for short skirts and I was actually becoming confident and brave enough to wear them now. The guys with their endless compliments and seeming devotion to my body and getting their hands on it, had done that. I didn’t think I was gorgeous or anything, but I believed the guys when they told me I was sexy and I dressed like I believed it too.
“You don’t like it?” I asked innocently. My skirt was a tight fitting black and white plaid. I had paired it with a white shirt which I had purposely left a few buttons open on. I was also wearing some heeled pumps and I had curled my red hair just the way Cam loved it.
“I fucking love it. That’s the problem. I’ve hardly gotten a damned thing done today thinking about you, bent over my desk.” He slid his hands up my thighs and under the tight fabric.
“Well, that’s no good Mr. Lewis. Maybe I should wear trousers to work in future. Wouldn’t want to distract you,” I teased.
“Don’t you dare. You look sexy as hell in this little outfit,” he purred as he pushed my skirt up higher and higher until it was around my waist. My heart beat sped up in anticipation.
It turned out having four guys to satisfy sexually had been a lot easier than I thought, mainly because they had turned me into an insatiable sex maniac! I only had to look at one of them, or feel their touch and I was ready to go. It didn’t help that they were all so sexy and handsome.
“Cam…” I gasped as he slid his finger under the edge of my panties, toying with me.
