I cup my hand to his face. “I want this.” I look between them, not caring that my sister is standing there. “I just don’t feel like I deserve it.”

“You do,” Sterling says, “and we’re gonna spend our lives making you see that you deserve the sun, moon and stars, sweetheart.”

“And two dicks,” Trace says, walking up, stealing my sister’s hand with his.

“Trace, I swear, if you don’t stop—” Ivy warns, but I laugh at his joke because he’s not wrong. My heart is tied to two, and that means I get two of everything. “C’mon. We’re gonna take you three across the street for some ink, then I’ll take you back to your house to get ready. We’ll meet everyone else at the tents by the creek in an hour.”

Arm in arm with Dolly and Ivy, we step out, heading toward Ink Time, the men in tow.

We stop with the sun pouring through gauzy clouds, warming our shoulders and cheeks. “We did it,” I say to them as we stand together, embracing the moment. “We all found the only thing we’ve ever wanted—love.”

“I wouldn’t have my life with Hudson and the kids if it weren’t for all of your support,” Dolly says to us, her eyes watery.

“Same,” Ivy says. “You guys both helped me realize how I feel about Trace, and supported me every step of the way, with every dream I ever had.”

Dolly’s bump nudges us as we hug on the sidewalk, right in front of our favorite place in Bluebell.

“The best part is, we all found love in Bluebell,” I whisper. “We can stay together.”

“Ellington sisters forever,” Dolly whispers.

“Twisted sisters forever,” Ivy says.

I giggle. “Twisted, what?”

She lifts a shoulder and lets it fall. “Twisted sisters. I mean, we’re a little twisted, right? Dolly was obsessed with Huddy, I put Trace in a chastity cage while he wasn’t even awake, and you found a way to get not one but two extremely handsome guys to fall for you by feeding them jam.” She shakes her head with a grin. “We may be a little twisted, but we’re in it together.”

Little do they know just how twisted I really am. But now, because of Sterling and Dash, it doesn’t matter. That part of my life is in the past, with nothing but kinky sex and jam in the future.

“Twisted sisters forever.”

EPILOGUE

I GUESS WE’RE BOTH DUMMIES.

“Did you see what Ivy got Juni?” I ask Dash as I button my white dress shirt, moving slowly so I don’t misalign them.

“Double strap-on,” he says, peering down at his phone. She sent us a photo in our group message. He grins. “Gnarly.” As he works on buttoning his own shirt, he says, “Hey, you know, forwhatever it’s worth, with us, or, well, you know, between us, you never have to do anything you don’t want to do.”

I read the subtext loud and clear, but before I can assure him of anything, he rambles nervously.

“I mean, I realize her using that on you is… different. And, well, smaller, most likely. I mean, I didn’t see it and it’s not like I think I have the biggest dick in Bluebell or anything but, like, I’m just saying, I realize that you will be more comfortable with prostate play if it’s coming from her and that toy and, well… I’m okay with whatever you decide.”

I shake my head, leaving my tie to hang untied around my neck as I square off with him. I cup his cock over his pants, not a move typical to me but one that he needs from me right now. “You do have a big dick, I don’t prefer a toy to you, and I want you to fuck me. I already told you I’m ready.” I seal the admission with a kiss, fiery but quick, and pull back, smiling down at him. “We’re committing to Juniper but also each other.”

He nods. “I know.”

I study him for a moment as I work on my tie from memory. “You really never explored with any men before me?”

He shakes his head. “Never even glanced over a urinal.”

At that I laugh. “You just seem so comfortable with all of it, that’s why I ask,” I say, a little embarrassed to be the stereotypical older one in the dynamic that needs more time to adjust. I don’t actually need more time, not anymore.

“That’s because it’s you,” he says so simply, those four words buoyant with truth and happiness.

“It’s so weird. Before I met you, I never thought about wanting anyone but Juniper. But then, I don’t know, I started to become so attracted to you. And it freaked me out at first. So I ignored it.”
