Then suddenly they are both on one knee in the dusting of snow on the deck.

Elise gasps. “Oh my God!”

My jaw drops.

They stare at each other in astonishment, each holding out a ring.

Then Simon grins. “You go first.”

“I…” Aidan looks totally thrown off his game. But then he manages to choke out, “Will you marry me?”

“Yes. Will you marry me?”

“Absolutely.”

“Good. Now let’s finish this in the water because it’s freezing out here.”

Once they’re both in the hot tub, kissing and slipping rings on each other, I pull Elise onto my lap so we can all enjoy the moment.

“I am so in love with you,” Simon tells Aidan. “I thought you might think I was being impulsive, but I can’t imagine a life without you.” He turns to us. “Without you, love, and without you, Wilder.”

He kisses Aidan again, passionately.

“I can’t imagine a life without you either,” Aidan says gruffly, pulling Simon up hard against his chest. “I can’t wait until I can call you my husband.” He reaches his hand out to Elise. “Come here, El, give us a kiss. If that’s okay with your husband.”

“Go for it.”

I give her a little push toward her boyfriends and settle back, arms on the edges of the hot tub, to watch them take turns kissing her and each other. When it starts getting steamier and my dick starts to harden in response like it always does when I watch my wife being loved and cherished, I realize something.

“Damn it, Simon, you still didn’t bring the champagne or the vibrator.”

“We have all night,” he says, kissing the back of Elise’s neck.

“We have all weekend,” Aidan adds, squeezing Elise’s breasts.

“We have forever,” Elise corrects, stretching her hand out to me.

Yes. We do.

Epilogue

ELISE

“I can’t tell if that grin means you’re a little drunk, you just got laid, or you’re just really happy for your husband,” Luna says, coming to stand next to me where I am observing Blake’s retirement party from the edge of the room.

I’ve been in the midst of the party all night, and just wanted to take a minute to breathe and take it all in.

I grin at my friend and lift my half-empty lemon drop martini in a little toast. “How about all three?”

I got laid a few hours ago before we left for the party, but with my three men taking care of me, my post-orgasmic glows last.

She laughs. “That’s my girl.” She takes a sip of her martini and gives a, “Mmm.”

They really are delicious. Blake chose the lemon drop martinis as the signature drink tonight. He’d given his grandmother a wink when he handed her the first one and the smile they had exchanged had made my heart squeeze.

“Well I know that you weren’t in the storage room since Alexsei and I were just in there,” Luna says.

Now that she mentions it, her lipstick could use a little touch up.
