Great.

“We do what we have to do to keep our families safe.”

Finn steps forward.

“We’ll be stationing someone outside Hallie’s house, monitoring twenty-four-seven. But it may be best if you move back to Decadence.”

I shake my head.

“Not happening. I can’t take her back to the place that broke us. There’s another option. Once I’m better and can actually fucking move without being out of breath.”

My brothers know what that option is.

Something I’ve had in place for a while.

“How breathless are you?” Finn asks.

I panic.

“Just a bit, if I try to do too much. Probably because my ribs are broken and I’ve got a load of ruptured shit inside my chest?”

“Yeah. Something like that. I’ll book you in for a scan so I can check everything’s healing as it should.”

I salute him.

“Got it, boss. Am I clear to have sex?”

Declan coughs, and Reggie chuckles.

“I suppose, if she rides you? You need to not move too much. It’s been a week, Conan.”

Hmm. Okay. I can work with that.

“Hallie’s made you all lunch downstairs.”

“We know. Charlotte is down there now.”

That makes me smile.

And they’re pregnant at the same time, which is so fucking awesome.

We get to see our kids grow up together. And Charlotte and Hallie have each other.

“It’s all worked out well,” I say, looking to Declan.

“God. You’re making me feel all mushy. Maybe I should find a girlfriend,” Rowan pipes up.

“You should. Could lose your virginity then.”

“Reggie. Tell Conan I ain’t a virgin!” Rowan demands.

“How would I know?” Reggie’s face remains stern.

“Well, seeing as you watched me stick my dick in Angel’s ass last night while you face-fucked her, I’d say you’re a pretty reliable source to confirm I ain’t a damn virgin.”

He slaps Reggie’s bicep.

I laugh so hard I have to grab my chest. Pain shoots through me like lightning.
