"But—"

"Let him rest, Peaches," Dante murmured in my ear.

I bit my lip then nodded. The three of us shifted, getting more comfortable, me holding Kage, Dante’s arm loosely snaked around my waist.

Slowly, I felt the tension seep out of Kage’s body, his breaths becoming deeper and more even. "Sleep," I whispered, my fingers gently combing through his hair. He sighed contentedly, the sound mingling with the quiet of the room.

"That feels so good," he murmured, his voice laced with a drowsy satisfaction. Then, with a hint of a pout that made him sound years younger, he added, "But I bet what you guys did earlier felt even better."

I was so shaken, I couldn't even laugh. I hushed him gently even though I blushed. I wasn't sure I'd ever get used to them acknowledging they shared me so openly. But Dante wrapped his arm more securely around my waist, giving me a reassuring squeeze. "It's okay. We're all going to be okay," he said.

"Yeah. It's going to be okay. Every chance I get to be with you is a blessing." Kage's words were soft, but they held a weight and honesty that made my heart swell. His sincerity cut through the awkwardness, grounding me.

The moment was intimate, a delicate balance between the three of us, each touch and word weaving a stronger connection. Dante's presence, far from being an intrusion, felt like a natural extension of the bond Kage and I shared.

"Just make sure you save some of that pleasure for me next time, you bastard," Kage murmured.

Dante chuckled, the sound vibrating against my back, and this time I couldn't help but smile.

"Trust me, Peaches here is more than one man can handle, so I'll do that.”

The banter between them was a welcome surprise. At that moment, I felt something shift inside me.

I understood then: I didn't have to choose. I wastheirs.

Chapter 27

Rolling over in bed, I opened my eyes and looked around. Both Kage and Dante were gone, but in their places were two folded pieces of paper, both with my name on them. I pressed my lips together, hiding a smile. As if leaving me notes wasn’t the cutest thing ever.

I found myself wondering whose idea the notes were. Did Dante leave me a note and then Kage got competitive and wrote one too? Or did they come up with the idea together? Either way, I loved waking up to them.

I opened Kage’s note first:

Thanks for last night, Rebel.

You always give me just what I need.

I love you (even when you fuck someone as ugly as Dante when I can't

be here to give you what you need). That will never change.

P.S: You look super sexy when you sleep, even when you snore.

Smiling, I put down the note and reached for Dante’s.

Your happiness means everything to me, Peaches.

I’ll always do whatever it takes to please you.

Even if it means sharing you with another butt-ugly guy.

Also, you looked so peaceful that I didn’t want to wake you…even with the snoring.

I’m never going to be able to give you up (don’t worry, this isn’t a Rickroll).

Honestly, I wasn’t sure what that last part meant.
