Both of them surround me, Ren in front of me, Landon behind me. “I’ve loved you forever, as long as I can remember,” I declare, and as they caress my cheeks—there’s one thing I can’t help but bring up. “We only have one problem,” I begin.
“Only one?” Landon asks his lips on the back of my neck.
“Yeah, who’s going to tell Zander?”
They both moan and Ren moves my white curls from my face. “This problem will still be here, waiting for us when we get back from Denver, but for now, let’s get you ready to see your best bitches.”
They have me up the stairs, naked, surrounding me in the shower, and like last night, they ravage my body.
“This is it,” Landon calls with the last suitcase in his hands, coming down the stairs. “I think we’ve got everything we need.” He leans it up against the front door. After breakfast, he made me another cup of coffee and demanded I sit on the couch with Ren as he got everything together. Let us spoil you, Abs. We’ve wanted this for too long.”
I’ve been surprised how he is the one who loves to spoil Ren and now me, by taking care of things like cooking and packing. Ren had taken the time to show me his workspace. It’s huge, two rooms. He had given me one for my photography equipment. I could work anywhere and nothing, besides my brother, had been keeping me in New Mexico.
Over breakfast, It was Ren who suggested that we leave next week to pick up my stuff, and maybe break the news to my brother then. Both of us groaned, but not the way I had earlier when I watched Landon push Ren against the shower, entering him hard and fucking him. No, that had been hot and overly enjoyable, where the thought of sharing my love for both men with my brother had me breaking out in hives.
Landon empties the space between us, pulling us both up, as he pebbles kisses down my neck, and Ren reaches into my shirt, squeezing my nipples. I’m about to pull away, suggesting we hit the road, when a loud knock on the front door garners our attention.
“Who could that be?” Ren asks.
“Ah, shit, I think I might have forgotten to cancel my Uber,” I explain, walking toward the door. I could have sworn I had, since it had been a good hour. I pull it back to what I am expecting is an angry Uber driver. However, I’d already paid him. He couldn’t be too angry.
Instead, I’m looking into the deep, almost violet eyes of my brother. “What the hell, Abbie,” he starts, passing me, letting himself in. “I couldn’t reach you last night, and then I couldn’t get either one of these assholes. I was so worried about you.” My brother brings me into his embrace. “You aren’t far from your phone ever.” He moves his eyes to the guys, jutting his chin out at them. “Thanks for taking care of my little sister.” He squeezes me one last time, then walks over to both men, bringing them into a bro hug. “I knew you’d always take care of her, like a sister.”
He falls back on the couch, again making himself at home in the guy's space. I guess after today, it’s my space too, but his impromptu visit has me experiencing an out of character hot flash. His eyes turn back to me, then past me, to all our luggage near the door.
“Are you all going somewhere?” His question has a level of amusement to it—curiosity mixed with gratification.
“Well…yeah.” Ren begins. Staring at Zander, the top of Ren’s forehead has broken out in a sheen of sweat. “With Abigail’s car in the shop, we thought we’d take her to Denver.”
“Ah, that’s nice of you, but now that I’m here, I can take her, or since Layla is at her parents this week, Abbie can take my car, and we can hang out.” He’s between both men, and he claps them on the shoulders again. “How does this sound?”
My men are noncommittal, and he picks up on this right away. “Well, hell, it sounds like you both have a hot date or something? You’re telling me you’d rather hang out with Abbie’s crew than me?”
“Was just planning to spend some time with my man,” Landon explains.
“I won’t get in the way. So what do you say, unless there’s something you aren’t telling me?”
Again, both men are quiet, and unlike last night where I had needed to change my panties because I was hot and bothered, now I’m going to have to change my shirt due to the fact I’m sweating like a banshee.
Zander stands, and my brother hasn’t made millions from being stupid. “Or you three could just tell me what the fuck is going on here, and man up.” This is directed toward Ren and Landon.
Landon takes Ren’s hand, bringing him flush to his body. Leaning around Zander, he calls for me. “Abs, come here.”
When I get within his space, he pulls me close to him, like Ren, on the other side. “Zander, both Ren and I have loved Abs for years. We never wanted to cross that line, but we couldn’t stop fantasizing about a future with her, the three of us committed together. But we didn’t want you to think we had forced ourselves on her. She feels the same way, and although it’s sudden, we’re moving in together.”
My brother’s hands find passage to his waist, and he stands as tall as he can. His eyebrows knit together, and his gaze is on me. When he reaches into his pockets, producing a remote of sorts, a scowl is still on his face.
“Do you remember when I took your car last week because Layla needed my truck?” I nod. “I went and got this installed, knowing you were going to be close to Landon and Ren. I called you every thirty minutes, asking where you were.” I nod again, confused by this. “I knew the three of you would never take this leap without a little bit of help. It being Valentine's was the added bonus. Maybe, just maybe, you finally might admit what I’ve known for some time.”
I move my eyes to Landon, then to Ren. I wonder if they understood where my brother is going with this. “What are you saying, Bro?” Landon asks.
“I’m saying, I had this remote installed in Abbie’s car. When she was ten miles from your house, I made sure she was safe and disabled her vehicle, where it basically stopped, and couldn’t be restarted.” My mouth fell, and a slew of curse words was about to be unleashed on my brother.
“I’d heard Landon and Ren talking at my wedding, how they wanted to tell you then. I have to admit, I was pissed, ready to take their heads off. But then, I was with this incredible woman who I was promising to love and cherish forever. How could I deny you the same sort of love?” He turns his attention and words from me, to Ren and Landon. “It took me a while to come to grips with this, but why should you be denied loving my sister, just because you love each other too? And anyway, there’s no one I trust more with her than the two of you.”
Ren moves around Landon, sandwiching me in between the two men.
“Well,” my brother begins, “My work is done here. I’m on my way to my in-law's house. You know you really love someone when you endure the in-laws from hell.” He shakes both Ren and Landon’s hands adding one last thing. “But with me, I’m the best brother and best friend there is.”
He pulls me into a full hug. “I only want you happy, Abbie.” He gives me a kiss, leaving before I can say another word. He’s at the door. “Best friends or not, I’ll hurt you if you ever cause my sister pain.”
