“You know you opened a can of worms, right? Now that we know you need to be fucked to have any peace, you’re going to find yourself bent over any number of things in this house multiple times a day.” Luke’s smirk was loud in his voice. “We just want you to have your peace, after all.”

“Don’t threaten me with a good time.” She giggled. “My teddy bears.”

“Hey.” Ryan sat up. “What were you reading that sent you in here like that?”

Maggie stilled and was quiet for a few seconds. “Nothing.”

Luke snorted. “We’ve known you for six years, baby. You think we don’t all know about your vast collection of filthy romance novels?”

“Then you don’t need to ask about them, do you?” She sat up and cleared her throat. “That reminds me. I didn’t finish.”

“The fuck you didn’t finish. You nearly squeezed my dick off.”

She laughed and rolled her eyes at Ryan. “The book! I didn’t finish the book. Since you all know about my books, I’m going to finish it right here. That way you three can make yourself useful when I need you. These pregnancy hormones are driving me crazy.”

I looked at Ryan and then Luke as Maggie crawled over us to get out of bed. “Maybe we keep her pregnant for a few years?”

“Sounds pretty fucking good to me.” Luke grinned.

When Maggie came back and cuddled between us, we understood how serious she was. She barely got a few pages in before her hand was stroking Ryan’s cock. Sometime closer to sunrise, I hid the book. I wasn’t sure any of us would ever be able to move again and Maggie had to be put to bed before she killed us and wore herself out.

I was still breathing hard when I looked at my brothers and wiped sweat from my forehead. “Or we could stop at one kid. Only children are great, right?”

“I need to hit the gym harder.” Luke checked his pulse. “Jesus.”

Ryan slung his arm over his eyes. “I got chased by a lion during a trip to Africa once. I think I could breathe easier then than I can right now.”

Maggie groaned in her sleep and curled into us tighter. “Shhh. Trying to sleep.”

I smiled at her bossiness. “Alright, baby.”

***Maggie***

One Year Later

Getting married in Paris while on vacation hadn’t been the plan. I’d been planning a small gathering at a family church back home but when I saw the Island of Love, I melted. Christina and Mac flew in to be with us, even though she was six months pregnant. Mom and Gregor were already with us so it was just a matter of finding a dress. It turned out, however, that money could make anything happen and the dress I’d worn during the ceremony proved that.

With the scent of roses in the air, Paris in the spring became the backdrop of our wedding. Mom walked me down the aisle. Gregor carried our son, Anderson, with the rings. It was a fastceremony with a long dinner afterwards. We danced under the stars and got drunk on expensive champagne while Christina and Mac babysat Anderson to prepare for their own son. We also broke the hotel bed and woke up with awful hangovers.

The rest of the vacation was magical and had even ended in Gregor proposing to Mom. I knew I was a lucky woman when I was just as excited to go home as I’d been to go to Paris. We’d been married for three weeks when I realized we’d brought back something extra from Paris.

I had a positive pregnancy test clutched in my hand when I walked into Luke’s office. He, Ryan, and Jackson were sitting around his desk, looking over the blueprints for the house they wanted to have built for us. Ryan was wearing Anderson against his chest, the dinosaur wrap oddly in place on Ryan’s large frame. They all looked up and smiled when they saw me.

“I thought you were meeting with Beth to talk about her wedding plans.” Luke came around his desk and kissed me. As he always did, he picked me up and walked me back around his desk, to put me down on it. The blueprints crinkled under my ass but none of them seemed to care.

“Mom told me to plan it all. She just wants to be married in the next six months.” I held my hand between my thighs with the test hidden. “Are you guys almost done for the day?”

“We were just wrapping up. You okay?” Ryan moved around to cup my cheek. “You look a little pale.”

I stared at Anderson and smiled as he yawned and reached for me. Ryan handed him to me and I took advantage of the peace his solid weight brought me. Pressing my lips to his head, I inhaled his scent and listened as he babbled at me.

“Bubbles?”

I took a deep breath. “I have a late wedding present for you guys.”
