Sebastian islast. He reaches out to grab my hand and pulls me into him; his hand slides down and lands on my lower back before he leans in to kiss me. The crowd hoots and hollers around us, and I blush.

"You took the Monroe name?" Seb asks as he pulls back. Barrett and Kyler are both standing next to us, looking quizzically.

"Is that okay?" Nerves instantly fill me, and I worry that I may have acted in haste. This was the name of their foster mother. Maybe I went too far, and I should have asked first.

"It's more than okay, Callie." Tears well up in Seb's eyes.

"It's the best gift you could have ever given us." Barrett grabs one of my hands and squeezes it.

"We all chose to be Monroe's, and the fact that you did too means more than you could ever know." Kyler gives me a half smile.

My heart is so full as I look at each of them again. "I love you all so much. Thank you for kidnapping me."

Each of them tells me they love me too, and Kyler makes a joke about drugging me and taking me back to the pool house in Braxton Falls for fun. I'm not against the idea. Being kidnapped was the best thing that could have ever happened. These three men healed me just like I healed them. We were always meant to be with one another, even if it was a bit of an unconventional way to start our journey.

Avery runs over and steals me from my men to give me a big hug. "Cals, you sneaky bitch! I can't believe you didn't tell me you planned on changing your last name!"

I squeezeher tightly, thankful to have her support through everything.

"I'll make it up to you with mimosas this Sunday at brunch."

She eyes me before shrugging and nodding. "Fine, but you won't always be able to win me over with brunch." I laugh, knowing damn well that's not true.

We all spend the next several hours eating, dancing, and having the best time with friends and family as we celebrate the lives we’ve all built for ourselves. One by one, people head out, and the party begins to wind down for the evening.

Reese throws Avery over her shoulder at one point and forcefully walks her to her car. Avery had too many cocktails and started shamelessly grinding all over Reese. I overheard Reese whisper something about Avery being tied up and begging for forgiveness and took that as my cue to mind my own business.

My mother is the last one here helping me clean up some of the mess by bringing the leftover food inside and putting it into the refrigerator. "I'm going to head out, LeeLee. The party was wonderful."

"Thank you for helping me with everything, Momma."

"I'm so proud of the woman you've become, Callie." She leans in to kiss me on the cheek before waving goodbye to the guys and seeing herself out.

Part of me feels guilty that she goes back to the cabin alone when I have a house full of love. I hope that one day, she’s able to put herself out there again and allow someone to treat her the way the Monroe brothers treat me.

Now that everyonehas left, my men and I settle into the living room to watch a movie before bed. I walk over and sit on Barrett's lap, wrapping an arm around his neck and snuggling into him.

"Princess, there's one more thing we have to do today."

A mischievous grin spreads across my face. "What's that?"

"You know exactly what it is." His eyes darken and flick down to my lips before he looks back up at me again.

"Hmm, I can't for the life of me figure out what you're talking about."

"Being a brat will get you punished." He leans in and places a gentle kiss on my neck before whispering in my ear. "Strip so we can use you, Callie Monroe."

Chills spread over my body, and my eyes dart around the room to where Kyler and Seb were sitting. They aren't in their seats anymore; instead, they are walking toward us, quickly freeing themselves from their clothes. Instantly, my entire body lights up in anticipation.

I pull my shirt over my head and reach a hand around to unclasp my bra, letting it fall to the floor. Then I stand and push my pants and underwear to the ground before stepping out of them just in time for a body to close in on me.

Hands wrap around my waist, forcing me to lean into the touch. My back presses up against Sebastian's stomach, and his hand slides up my torso before he wraps his fingers around my neck.

"Are you ready to be agood little fuck toy for us?" Seb growls in my ear, and I nod eagerly.

"Yes, sir."

He walks us toward the couch until my knees come into contact with someone else's. I expect to find Barrett in front of me, but instead, my eyes land on a now-seated Kyler, who is stroking himself with nothing but desire in his gaze.
