West sets his glass down on the kitchen counter and pinches the bridge of his nose. “Why the hell not?”
I open my mouth, then close it again. For the Unholy Trinity of billionaires, four grand is nothing. It would be like me dropping my pocket change into a panhandler’s collection cup. But that’s not the point. “You just can’t. It’s too much. You’ve known me for less than a week.”
Xander buries his face in my hair and chuckles darkly. “But we know the most intimate parts of you.”
I squirm in his arms. True.
“You’re our girlfriend, Lily. Why the fuck can’t we buy you a gift?”
I gape at him. “Your… girlfriend?”
Zeke turns now, brandishing the vegetable knife like a villain from an ’80s slasher flick. “Aren’t you?”
I frown.
“You live with us. You have sex with—” He clears his throat. “With West and Xander. So what the fuck else would you call yourself?”
“I don’t know. I hadn’t really thought about it,” I admit, unable to tear my eyes from Zeke’s intense gaze.
Xander kisses my neck. “Do you want to be our girlfriend, shorty?”
My cheeks burn. “I do.”
“For appearance’s sake, you’ll be my girlfriend if anyone asks questions,” West says matter-of-factly, then takes another sip of his Scotch.
I swallow hard. Have I thought this through? Do I want to be West Archer’s girlfriend? Not publicly. “Questions? Who will ask questions?” I can’t have my picture popping up in some gossip column.
“Work mostly.” He searches my face with narrowed eyes. “When we drop you there in the morning or pick you up for lunch. Better to say you’re only dating one of us than all three.”
“Okay.” I nod. “No paparazzi stuff or anything though, right?”
“Fuck no,” Zeke growls.
“We manage to fly under their radar for the most part,” West says.
“Then I guess I’m your girlfriend.” My lips spread into a grin that falters when I realize how ungrateful I’ve been acting. “And um, thank you for the bike. It was actually very thoughtful.”
The wink West gives me ignites a fire in my ovaries. “You’re welcome.” He turns back to Zeke. “You need any help there?”
Zeke hands him a head of broccoli without so much as a word.
With Xander’s arms around me and his mouth nuzzling my neck, I watch West and Zeke prepare dinner, their forearms occasionally brushing. While they work, they chat quietly. I’m unable to hear what they’re saying, but I do hear West’s soft laugh just before he runs his hand down Zeke’s jaw to his neck. Their brief kiss definitely involves some tongue, and I can’t help the way my body reacts to watching them together. Their dynamic is tender and sweet. And so damn hot my panties grow damp.
“Do they ever…?” I whisper to Xander.
He presses his lips to my ear. “Sometimes. I get horny as fuck watching them together.”
I giggle. “Me too.”
“A horny Lily and at least an hour until dinner.” He hums against my skin. “Hmm. What’s a guy to do?” Without waiting for a response, he hoists me over his shoulder and carries me from the room.

LILY
“Your usual.” Our server places my favorite sandwich down in front of me, and my stomach growls.
“He is so into you,” Jen says with a wicked grin.
