I saw the appeal. They were both good men and in the time I had known them I had found them to be kind and honest. They’d do anything to help the guys, who they both seemed to care for deeply and they had taken Willow and I into their little family happily.
“Did she take Mr. Roar?” I asked, knowing she would never sleep without him.
“Yep. She has everything we could think of, but if we forgot anything, Sam or Garth will just come over to get it. She’ll be fine,” Kai promised.
“I have my cell right here in case they call,” Nico added to reassure me, holding up his cell which he held in his hand.
“Sorry. It’s just been a long time since I took a night off like this,” I said. In fact, I realized, apart from the guys taking care of her here and there while we’d been with them, I wasn’t sure she had ever spent a night away from me.
“It’s okay. We get it. Do you want to go and check on her before we eat?” Cam asked.
“No. I’m sure she’s fine,” I replied. “Should I go and change? I’m very underdressed.” I looked down at the maternity jeans and white t-shirt I had pulled on to go to the city with Cam. Thank God I’d taken the time to style my wild hair and apply a little make up earlier.
“You’re perfect, sweetheart. Come and take a seat. We got you some sparkling cider, since champagne was out,” Nico told me as he pulled out a chair.
As I sat, Hunter poured the cider into the champagne glass before me, with a flourish, making me smile. Kai and Cam sat too, Kai to my right, and Cam opposite me. When Hunter was done playing waiter, filling the guys glasses too, he took the seat to my left and Nico took the one beside him so he too was almost opposite me.
“You guys didn’t cook did you?” I asked as I took a sip of the cider. I didn’t know about Nico, but I had seen the other three attempt to cook over the last two weeks and it had not been pretty.
“What’s that supposed to mean?” Cam asked with a fake pout.
“Cam, I watched you almost set the kitchen on fire making toast the other day,” I laughed.
“That wasn’t me. It’s that stupid toaster,” he groaned as the others all laughed.
“Don’t worry, sunshine. Sam cooked everything and left instructions. We wouldn’t risk poisoning you,” Kai chuckled.
Soft, romantic music was playing in the background and I couldn’t deny it all felt a lot like a date as I looked between the guys, their eyes sparkling in the candle light as they too watched me.
“This is the closest I’ve ever come to a candle lit meal,” I laughed, feeling a little overwhelmed by the heat they were all watching me with.
“Have you never been wined and dined, sunshine?” Kai asked with a smile.
“I don’t think so. Edward is the only guy I ever dated and romance wasn’t exactly his thing, not even in the beginning. He was nice enough, but he never took me for romantic meals or anything like that,” I explained.
“That asshole is the only guy you’ve ever been with?” Nico looked shocked as he spoke, and I could feel myself blushing.
“Yeah,” I replied. “I was never interested in anyone before him.” I looked between Hunt, Kai, and Cam sadly. My heart was broken when they left me, and for a long time I never looked at another guy. I had never really been that into Edward either, but he had been sweet and made me feel wanted. I had thought that would be enough when I agreed to marry him. I’d been so stupid.
“Let’s not talk about that fucker tonight,” Cam suggested and I was all for that. Edward had ruined enough of my life.
“Good idea. Let’s talk about our future instead,” Kai agreed.
“That’s a pretty confusing subject too,” I pointed out. I had been trying to decide what to do for the best for days and I was still no closer to a decision. Whatever choice I made, I was going to hurt someone and I hated it.
“Well, that’s what we wanted to talk to you about,” Hunter began as he took my hand in his on top of the table and held it between us. He rubbed his thumb back and forth over my knuckles, soothing me. “We’ve all been talking.”
“We know Nico told you he has feelings for you, just like we all did too,” Cam cut in when I looked between them all with confusion. I knew I was blushing furiously now as I looked down to my lap. What must they all think? I had feelings for all four of them and they knew it. Were they angry with me? Disgusted? Was it wrong to feel as I did for all of them? I knew it wasn’t normal, but how could it be wrong when I felt so strongly for all of them?
“It’s okay, sunshine,” Kai said as he placed a hand on my thigh and rubbed up and down to comfort me. “That’s what we wanted to talk about. We’re good with you wanting Nico too.”
“What?” My head snapped up at that comment and I looked between them all with confusion and a small spark of hope.
“You know how Mia’s relationship works, right?” Nico asked. When I gave him my full attention his face softened into a small smile and it settled the panic that was beginning to grip me.
“Emilia doesn’t have kids,” I pointed out, while at the same time internally telling myself to shut up. I had a suspicion they were about to offer me everything I could ever dream of and I was trying to talk them out of it.
“No, but she plans to in the future and she’s not worried about it working with her three men. You know Livy too, right?” I nodded. I didn’t know her well, but Emilia had told me about her marriage.
