Her eyes swung to me as Anatoly held his hands up and backed away.

“Hello Rosslyn. It’s good to see you.” I said as she smiled. I pulled her in for a hug, her pregnant belly making it awkward. I glanced at Gabriel who was rubbing the little girl's back.

“Gabriel. Nice to see you too.” I held the door open as Anatoly held onto Rosslyn’s arm as she stepped up the small step into the door.

“Let me go.” She snapped and he sighed, smiling at me.

“Anatoly,” I said with a grin and waited until they walked in. Beau met my eyes with a look of interest. I shrugged.

“They are all together. I may have forgotten to mention that.” I said, hurrying inside before he could ask more questions.

“Can we borrow a bed or a couch for this one? She is still grumpy and sleepy.” Gabriel asked and I showed him to my room.

I watched as he laid her down, put pillows around her, and kissed her forehead. She smiled at him sleepily before closing her eyes. My heart did a little flip at the tender moment and the contrast between the tattooed, thickly muscled man who I knew was a tad bit crazy being so sweet.

He followed me out, glancing once more at her as he closed the door.

“I have a niece,” I said and he looked at me, his expression soft in understanding.

“A lot has changed for us in the two years since we first met. But nothing that can’t be caught up on.” He said softly and I nodded.

“No one holds it against you, Anya. Mikhail may not understand as much as Rosslyn or I do, but we all know you did what you had to do. When you are ready, you can join the family.” He said as if he could read the guilt in my mind.

We walked out to the kitchen where everyone was sitting, waiting for me.

“Let’s get the business side of things sorted first before we catch up,” Mikhail said as he looked at me, then to Beau.

“Sounds good. What do you want to know first?” He asked and Mikhail grinned.

“I want to know what your intentions are with my sister. The three of you.” He said as he looked at Beau, then William and Wyatt.

I gaped at him as Rosslyn sighed loudly and rolled her eyes.

“That isn’t business, Misha.” I spat and he grinned.

“But it is, dear sister. If they are sleeping with you, their heads are in a different place. I need to know if they are all in or just treating this as a game.” He said and I glared at him.

“What happens in my love life doesn’t affect business. Besides, how do you even know that I am sleeping with any of them?” I asked and he pointed at William.

“That one has the look of a lovesick puppy who had the best fuck he ever had,” He turned to Beau with a mean smile.

“This one looks guilty as hell and keeps looking at you like you might disappear,” Then he pointed at Wyatt.

“And this one has been looking at each of us like we are competition to be taken out and has been slowly shifting closer to you since you stepped into this room.” He gave me a look of satisfaction.

“So what? What I choose to do is not your business.” I said and he shrugged.

“I’m not judging sis. I am just asking if they are all in or if they will go running with their tails between their legs when it gets tough.” He looked at them, waiting.

“I have already told her I am all in. I have no intention of going anywhere and it was the best fuck of my life, thank you.” William said with a wink at me, and Gabriel chuckled.

“I like him.” He said and Rosslyn shot him a look that said, ‘Shut up.’

“I have no intentions of running. This may be new to me, but I am all in with Anya and with whatever happens here.” Wyatt said quietly with a smile at me.

I held my breath as Mikhail looked at Beau.

“I have loved this woman since the moment I met her and everything I have done, good and bad has been because of that love. So no, Mik. I am not going anywhere and if you ever talk about her sex life so crudely again, I’ll punch you in the throat.” Beau said softly and Anatoly snorted as Gabriel cackled.
