“Is that a bad thing?” I ask, a bit of sass to my voice. “Do you want Carol to come down hard on her son and fire him?”

Preston shoots me a hard look, jaw grinding before he shakes his head. “No,” he grumbles.

“It’s not what people think of me and Collin together that bothers me. I really don’t care what people think of me, and Collin has made it clear that he doesn’t care about what people think of him either. It’s you I’m worried about," I look at Declan, guilt swimming in my belly.

“Me?” he asks, eyes widening in surprise. “Why me?”

“Because we just told the world we were dating. Now, I'm married to the headmistress’s son. I don’t want this to come down on you and cause you any issues.”

His face softens. “Don’t worry about me. I know where we stand. I know you’re still my girl. None of them matter. The only opinions I care about are both of yours, and maybe Grayson and Collin,” he chuckles.

“Are you sure?” I still can’t help but worry.

He takes my hand, giving it a quick squeeze before letting it go. “Yes. Now, let’s leave the real world behind together and go have some fun.”

“Yeah.” I smile. “I’d like that.”

Our fun consists of taking a walk in one of the local parks. It’s a nice day, not too hot, not too cold. Preston kind of hangs back while Declan and I enjoy the beauty of the park and what it has to offer.

He’s not trying to exclude himself, just more like this isn’t something he’s used to. He seems content watching us, like he’s keeping us safe while we’re free to ignore the world and enjoy.

I catch his eyes every now and again, and the smile he gives me just adds to the overall joy I feel today.

It’s little moments like this we have to hold onto and enjoy because they don’t come often in this life I’ve found my way into. But I know that if I were given a choice to go back and walk away from those gold and red doors, I would make the same decision I did that day.

These men are my end game. My forever. And no matter how hard it might be, I will fight to keep them. Because I can’t imagine my life any other way.

“Where are you going?” Declan asks, voice sleepy, pouting adorably from where he lays in his bed.

I smile, slipping my pants on. “Mom texted me. She’s home today and wants to hang out. We haven’t really talked much about everything that’s been going on. So, I’m going to go home to hang out with her for a bit. Get everything out in the open.”

“Everything?” Preston grumbles, rolling over and pulling Declan into his arms, snuggling his face in Declan’s neck. Declan blushes; I’ll never get tired of seeing how easily we get to him. I love it. “You're gonna tell her you’ve been fucking your brother? I bet she’s gonna love that.”

“Stepbrother,” I correct him, slapping his bare ass hard. He lifts his head and shoots me a glare. I just grin before pinching it.

“Brat,” he mutters.

“You just make it so easy.” I laugh. “And yes, everything. I think she already knows about me and Grayson. Now, it’s just saying the words out loud. At least I don’t think she’s going to disown me,” I half joke as I finish getting dressed.

After the park, we went out to eat before coming back to Declan’s room. We were supposed to cuddle and watch a movie, but that went south fast because the opening credits were just leaving the screen when everyone started removing their clothes.

Not that I was complaining. I got orgasms, filled with cum, and got to watch Declan suck Preston until he was spilling allover his face. Next time, I want to be on my knees next to Declan, worshiping Preston’s cock.

Let's just say, it was a very fun night that led all of us into a pile of naked sticky limbs. That reminds me, I'm going to need to shower and change before hanging out with my mom.

“Your mom seems like a pretty down-to-earth person. She’s been supportive of you dating more than one person, I don’t think this is going to be the straw that breaks the camel's back,” Declan says.

Preston’s face pops up. “Did you just call her mom a camel?”

Declan’s face goes white, his eyes widening in horror. “W-what? No,” he shakes his head. “No. I wouldn’t– I’d never.”

“I’m just fucking with you,” Preston chuckles. “You look so cute when you’re flustered.”

Declan’s eyes flick down to glare at Preston. “Oh, so he has jokes now, huh?” Declan growls.
