Page 12 of All in April

Jack wipes his mouth and reaches across the table for my hand. “He’s right about that.”

I place my palm on his and ask, “About what?”

“You take care of us so good, we want to return the favor.”

“How so?”

Wolf’s lips curl into his signature wide smile. “Pamper you. Spoil you.”

The three men glance at each other like they’re hiding a secret and waiting for one to confess.

Looking at each of them, I beg for an answer to an unspoken question.

Jack is the one to break. “Sweetheart, we are really loving you being here. And we hope you never want to leave.”

Wolf snatches my other hand, the one Jack doesn’t have hold of. “It’s true. You fit with us. All of us and we, uh, we’re all feeling some type of way about it.”

“What type of way?” I swallow. My voice sounds small.

The corner of Jack’s lips lift into a sheepish grin. “Like…we like you and uh…have feelings toward you.”

Wolf nods rapidly in agreement. “Love you.”

My eyes widen at their confession while my heart skips a beat. “Who says I’m leaving?” I ask.

Brahn grunts. “No one. You’re not fucking leaving us. Ever.” The grip around my waist tightens as his arms squeeze me harder.

Choking out the words, my face is filled with confusion. “I’m not going anywhere.”

“That’s right,” Brahn says at the same time the other two nod emphatically.

“We just wanted to make things a bit more, um, permanent,” Wolf says as if I’m slow.

“Yep. Seal a commitment is all,” Jack rubs his thumb over the back of my hand.

“What does that mean?” I ask.

“We want to make sure you understand you’re our girlfriend. Hopefully more than that when you’re ready.” Brahn lets the words tumble from his broad chest like he’s been dying to say them. “You’re not just some toy or agreement. Not just a cook or cleaner. You’re our woman.”

As my mouth opens to form a response, Brahn places a heavy kiss onto my temple and the guys squeeze my fingers.

“I see.” Never in my life did I think at nineteen I’d have three giant lumberjack boyfriends that want more with me. I’m assuming that means marriage. “Okay.”

“Okay?” Jack sighs out a breath of seeming relief, but he and Wolf teeter on the edges of their chairs as if waiting for more of an answer.

Glancing at each of them, my heart warms as I stare into their eyes. This last month has been the best of my life. I can’t imagine being with anyone else other than these men here with me now. Each provides something I’ve wanted and never knew how to ask for.

“I’m feeling like I like you all, too. That I have big feelings about each of you. So, yes. I’m okay with it. More than okay with it.”

“You’re our girlfriend?” Wolf asks for confirmation.

An easy smile parts my lips as heat of emotion stings my eyes. “You’re my boyfriends.”

Wolf lets out a huge laugh, then tosses his head back and actually howls. Brahn only lets out a grunt of victory, tugging me up higher on his lap to meet his firm rod of erection. Jack finishes his dinner, but this time with gusto, almost dancing in his chair.

Brahn stabs another piece with his fork and feeds me the rest of my plate. Then, he stands and hands me the utensil. “I expect that entire plate to be clean by the time we get back.”

“Where are you going?” I ask as they all rise from their seats.
