“We really do need to work on that poker face,” Caspian purred, laughing quietly as I blushed.

“What?”

“It’s all over her face isn’t it?”

Caspian chuckled at Cade, nodding before his eyes focused on me. “All those thoughts you’re having? All those worries, and second guesses, and doubts?” He shook his head slowly, his eyes never leaving mine.

“Forget them. All of them.”

“We willneverstop loving you,” Cade murmured, pulling me around to face him. “We’ll never be jealous of each other, we’ll never stop feeling this way, and the only thing that’ll change is that I’m pretty sure, somehow, we’re going to love more and more every single day.”

Damn.

I was kissing him before I knew it, melting into his lips before turning and doing the same with Caspian.

“Is that even— I mean, can you even do that? Can youbothmarry me?”

Caspian grinned. “It’s our country, and trust me, the dickholes on the advisor’s council that would have opposed this have been catapulted over the castle walls.”

I raised a brow and Cade laughed. “Nah, not really. They have been banned from the country though. Long story.”

“I’d love to hear it.”

“You will,” Caspian said quietly. “Our mother loves telling that story.”

I felt the warm glow tingle through me as I slowly shook my head. “Both of you. Marriage.”

“If you’re having doubts—”

“I’m not,” I said quickly, grinning from ear to ear as I snuggled in close to both of them. “And I never will.”

“We’ll speak to your parents tomorrow, and explain it all.”

Cade snorted. “Well, maybe notallof it.”

We laughed as their arms snaked around me, pulling me close.

“Mrs. Charming, huh?”

“QueenIlana works pretty well too,” Caspian murmured.

We were quiet for a moment before I slowly grinned. “Do you have secluded gardens in Marland?”

Cade raised a curious brow, and I smiled.

“Because I’m about to fall asleep right now, but I think sex with you two under the stars like this might be my new favorite thing in the world.

Caspian laughed as he pulled me tight, kissing my neck.

“For you, our queen, we’ll build a secludedforest.”

Epilogue

Ilana

Ican hearthe crowds cheering — the roar of them thundering up from the main castle courtyard and echoing through the stone walls of the room. We’re in the old part of Marland Castle, and while the newer parts of the palace, like the main living quarters, are updated, this part is still all old stone, and tapestries, and parapets looking out over the courtyard, where kings and queens used to make proclamations and royal announcements.

…Which is exactly what we’re doing today.
