“By the way,” Keelan said just as I opened the office door, “I think this hair color is my favorite.”

I looked down at my wet lilac braid. One year ago, I had dyed it this color. Yesterday, while at the salon with Isabelle, I’d decided to dye it back to purple. “I thought you loved my red hair.”

“Don’t get me wrong, you’re sexy as hell with red hair. When you came over after you just dyed it red, wearing that little black dress...” Keelan blew air through pursed lips while shaking his head.

“It was torture,” Knox said as he opened the lunch box.

“That’s because you were being a stubborn ass,” Keelan said to him. “I loved you with red hair, but your hair now reminds me of when we first met.”

Well, that made me all gooey on the inside. “Have I told you that I love you today, pretty boy?”

He gave me an adoring smile. “I love you too, baby girl.”

The next morning, I woke up without having a nightmare. I had them less and less often lately. As I glanced around an unfamiliar room that still had boxes in the corner, I had to remind myself where I was. This was our new house. It was our fourth night sleeping here. I was safe between two of my gorgeous boyfriends.

After we’d returned from Maryland, I’d practically moved in with the guys. My house had become tainted by Mr. X and it had been weird having any of my guys spend the night with Logan living with me.

About four months ago, I’d sold my house in Maryland. It had sold quick, despite the murders and dead bodies Mr. X had brought into it. Speaking of dead bodies, Cassy’s body had been found in Shayla’s bed. Mr. X had really believed she and Shayla were alike and him putting Cassy’s body in her bed had been his way of insulting her. The thing was, Shayla hadn’t been around to insult. So it had only insulted me. My sister had had her faults, like all people did, but she hadn’t been like Cassy. Shayla could be catty when pushed and she’d had an attitude, but that attitude was something I’d sometimes admired about her.

After my house had sold in Maryland, Knox had brought up the idea of selling their house, too, and we’d used the money from both to buy something bigger for ourselves, or at least big enough for me to have my own space. The guys’ house had sold right around the time we’d found our new house and we’d moved in all of our stuff less than a week ago.

An arm that was draped over my waist tightened before lips pressed to my neck. “Happy birthday,” Colt whispered in my ear.

I grabbed his hand and snuggled closer. “Thank—” I shot up when reality hit. “What time is it?” I leaned over Creed, who groaned at being woken up, to grab my phone. As soon as I read the time on my phone’s screen, I yelped, “I overslept! I have so much to do before people arrive.” I crawled over Creed, who let out another groan. I scurried out of my room like a wild woman and went downstairs to the kitchen.

Knox and Keelan were already awake and drinking coffee at the kitchen island. They stilled and followed me with their eyes as I came running in. I beelined for the oven and preheated it to the temp I needed it at. Then I rushed to the fridge and began pulling out ingredients.

“Shi, baby,” Keelan said as he got up from where he’d been sitting.

“What?” I said frantically as I rushed to the other side of the kitchen to pull out my mixing bowls.

As I opened the cabinet and pushed up to my tiptoes to reach them, Keelan asked, “Not that we aren’t enjoying the view, but why are you naked?”

I turned to face him with a mixing bowl in each hand. He was standing behind me. I glanced down at myself and sure enough, I was completely naked.

Colt and Creed had woken me up at midnight for what they calledbirthday sex. It had been a good way to start my birthday and I’d finally cashed in my win from the mud run from last October.

I’d been riding Colt’s cock, high on lust, when I’d begged them to fuck me at the same time. Creed had been all for it. It was no secret that he had been doing his best to make me comfortable with the idea of trying anal. Well, I’d finally let him take that virginity last night. They both had been so patient and gentle. When he’d finally had me ready and worked his way inside me, I’d lost my mind. As they’d both rocked into me, they’d whispered dirty things to me, and I’d nearly blacked out coming. Right after, they’d both taken me into a warm shower, where they’d washed me and kneaded my muscles. I’d been so tired and relaxed afterward, I hadn’t bothered getting dressed and just gone right back to bed.

Just thinking of last night now was making me blush, but I was sure Knox and Keelan thought I was blushing because I was naked.

“She didn’t realize,” Knox said as his eyes trailed down my body.

“I overslept and have so much to prepare before guests start arriving,” I explained.

“You probably overslept because of all the sex you were having last night,” Keelan grumbled.

He sounded left out. I glanced at the time and convinced myself I could spare a few minutes. I set my mixing bowls down and then tried to kneel in front of Keelan.

He quickly grabbed me under my arms, stopping me. “Whoa, baby girl. Today isn’t about me.” He lifted me up and set me on the edge of the island. With a gentle push, he made me lie back. He put my legs over his shoulders and buried his face between my legs until I came screaming. Knox sat there and watched, knowing that it added to the experience for me.

I managed to get everything I needed done before the party. Currently I was finishing up getting ready. I was wearing a cute navy-blue summer dress. Underneath, I had on my favorite Superman bra and panty set, which had not been taken by Mr. X because they had been in Keelan’s laundry basket at the time. The underwear that Mr. X had taken had never been found. For a while, I hadn’t been able to bring myself to replace the ones he’d stolen. I had been worried that if I did, wearing them would be a reminder of him. With the help of Dr. Bolton, I’d overcome that worry, and I’d rebuilt my superhero and villain lingerie collection.

I put my lilac hair in a high ponytail because it was scorching outside and I planned to help Knox grill in our outdoor kitchen. The backyard we had could give the guys’ old backyard a run for its money. That could just be me being biased, though. It was meaningful and special to me that this wasourhome and I dared to hope that we’d make many wonderful memories in it.
