I moved in, my heart hurting for reasons I didn’t even want to explore in that moment. I just knew I wanted her happiness and I was trying so damn hard to give it to her. Traditions were a big deal for me. I’d been raised with them hammered into my skull. My role. My life. It had already been planned out.

But when I looked at her, I couldn’t help but feel like I wanted new plans. I wanted the white fence and her little fuzzy dog. And hell, maybe even all the cats.

I’d do whatever I could do to bring her at least part of that world because there had to be a compromise. There just had to. One where we both got our slices of heaven.

I knew I’d have to go through hell to get it though.

It was a journey I was willing to take.

Rosalie Bishop was worth it.

SEVEN

ROSALIE

Ilet out a groan as the sunlight woke me.

Whimpering, I opened my eyes and stared up at my ceiling, a heaviness crushing me.

I looked to the right to see Enzo curled up beside me, naked, all his hard muscles on display, the sheet tangled around his legs.

I looked to the left to see Cole in much the same position, his lips parted as he snored softly. Both their arms were thrown over my body.

I winced as I shifted, between my legs sore.

Vaguely, I remembered the sex we’d had and how I’d wanted it. Today, I was humming a different tune because it felt like they’d driven a Mac truck between my legs.

I managed to wiggle away from them and get into the bathroom. Within minutes, I was beneath the shower and cleaning my tender bits before shampooing my hair and washing the rest of me. When that was done, I brushed my teeth and went back to my bedroom. I sucked down the water on the nightstand and swallowed the pills before crawling back in between them.

“You OK?” Enzo mumbled sleepily.

“Yes.” I snuggled against him. He was quick to wrap his arms around me. “I just have a headache and I’m, uh, sore.”

“We both fucked your pussy together,” he said.

“I know.” I placed a kiss on his chest. “Did I like it?”

He chuckled. “You came for us, so I assume so. I’d be devastated if you didn’t.”

I hugged him as I closed my eyes and breathed out. “I’d do it again if I weren’t so sore.”

“Mm, baby, don’t tempt me like that.”

I smiled against his chest, feeling content. Cole let out a shuddering snore that made both of us laugh.

“It’s a good morning,” I said softly.

“The best, baby.” He kissed the top of my head. “We got some new suits and the wedding tuxes. We went with all black. That’s still OK, right?”

“It’s your choice.” I kissed his cheek. “I’ll pick my dress, and you pick your suit. Black goes with everything.”

“Indeed, it does.” He was quiet for a moment. “Will you get your dress soon? It can take some time if it needs to be ordered.”

I licked my lips. “Yeah. I’ll call my parents today. Will you be with me when I do?”

“Of course, Sunshine.”

I breathed out, the anxiety at telling my parents setting in.
