“I want to marry all three of you,” I manage to squeak out as they hold me. “I want to love and be loved by all of you for the rest of my life. I never want this to end.”
“Same here,” Ryan says.
“You will never know a moment without love ever again,” Logan adds.
“You’re our girl,” Ethan says. “We’ll take care of you forever. You’ll never want for anything.”
I let myself melt into their arms. The tears on my face slowly come to a stop, but only because I’m so calmed by their soft touch and the chorus of their breathing.
“Wait!” I exclaim. “Ryan! Logan! What’s in your ring boxes? You never opened them!”
My three guys break away from our group embrace. All three of them look at me with smirks on their faces.
“Well,” Logan starts. “We all wanted to give you tokens of our love for you.”
“But you’d look pretty ridiculous with three engagement rings on your finger,” Ryan adds. “And Ethan beat both of us to buying you a ring.”
“I was very eager,” Ethan laughs.
“So, we instead came up with something else,” Logan says, pulling his ring box out of his pocket. “Another way to show the world of our shared love and devotion to you, Jade.”
“Ethan sort of jumped the gun and already showed you his,” Ryan laughs, lightly elbowing Ethan beside him.
“I got carried away,” Ethan claims.
Ryan and Logan both hold their ring boxes in front of me and open them.
“Oh my god,” I gasp. A new flood of tears burst from my eyes.
Before me are two more rings, just like Ethan’s, to match my engagement ring. Ryan’s is a silver band with a green jade lining running along it. Logan’s is a black band with flecks of green jade throughout it, like constellations in an inky sky.
Just like Ethan's, their rings complement mine perfectly. They also match each other, while being different and unique. A perfect symbol for our relationship.
“Well,” I say. “Put them on!”
Ryan and Logan quickly take their rings out of the boxes and slide them on their fingers. All four of us hold our hands together. All the rings look so incredible. The constant green jade throughout shows the world that I am theirs and they are mine.
I take a deep breath. The chaos and pain of tonight’s dinner are so far in the past that I hardly remember it. This is all that matters now.
I don’t know exactly how this works, a marriage between four people. But I’m confident we’ll figure it out. Every day will be a lesson I’m eager to learn. I will get to stand by their sides, and they will stand by mine. This is a life I never dreamed I’d have but am so fucking excited to be in it now.

LOGAN
Jade's willingness to marry us couldn't have made me any happier.
I grab her around the waist and kiss her hard. The dominating side that comes out during sex is already rearing its head, but her moan tells all of us just how much she likes it.
"Resist him all you want, darling, but you belong to us now," Ethan says, his tone dark and seductive.
She squirms in our grasp, trying to break free, but we hold her tight. It's clear to us that she likes it, but wants to test the limits of our control. I love watching her try.
She arches her back, offering herself up to us. We peel her clothes off while she struggles to free herself, leaving her in nothing but her lacy black panties in our arms.
Ethan runs his hands through her hair and tilts her head up to capture her lips in a sweet, passionate kiss.
"Now that we're all on the same page," he says with a grin, "Who's ready to get started?"
