“Okay, stop talking. We need to eat, or the food is going to get cold,” Grayson says causing me to chuckle.

“Oh, I can’t believe I forgot! Helen’s gone,” I say.

There is silence around the table for a moment and then everyone bursts out in cheers.

“Fuck yes! I hate that bitch!” Grayson says grinning.

“What happened?” Levi asks.

“She cheated on them,” I reply, causing my men to curse.

“Fucking bitch! What, three cocks weren’t enough for her?” Levi says darkly.

“Apparently she didn’t see anything wrong with it because they shared her with each other,” I murmur.

“That’s fucking stupid. If she wanted out, all she had to do was say so, but we all know that she wanted to live the life they could provide,” Asher says with a shake of his head.

“Yeah, they want to meet Kyla and have dinner one night. I said that was okay,” I say looking at Kyla.

“That’s fine. Dylan was nice. I’m sure the others will be. Can I invite Holly?” she asks.

“Yeah. I’ll call them, and we can set it up for next weekend. How’s that?” Levi asks Kyla.

“That’s perfect. I can’t wait,” she says smiling.

We eat while we talk about pretty mundane things. I think all of us are just enjoying the company that Kyla is offering over the content of the conversation. .

After she suggests watching a movie, we head to the bedroom where we also have a large tv behind a sliding wall. This way, we can snuggle up to each other.

After the last two days, I think we need it.

Chapter Sixteen

Kyla

It has only been a few days since I had told my men about my heart. They had seemed to treat me the same way after I told them everything, but I guess they had spent a good amount of time worried about Ethan. I understand that because I was worried about him too.

When I had gotten home that night, my parents weren’t there to greet me. I knew they were up waiting for me though when their bedroom light turned off as soon as I walked in the house. You can’t change habits like that over night, but I was used to it. I am just glad that they didn’t call me while I was gone since I had told them who I was going to be with.

That conversation was one that I had been completely dreading, but I knew that they loved me. It might be hard to understand that their only daughter was dating four men, but I knew that my parents would eventually be okay with it even if they weren’t at first.

Of course, they were shocked. My dad nearly choked on his supper when I told him. First, they were angry thinking that the men took advantage of me because they were my bosses, but I had reassured them that was definitely not the case.

In the end, they had agreed that as long as I was treated right, they would be happy for me.

So far it had been good. The men have taken care of me to a whole new level.

This week at work, I had felt more stressed than I usually do. It had nothing to do with the job itself and everything to do with my men.

I wasn’t really allowed to do much. I had to pretty much sit all day and only answered about half of the calls. When they saw that someone who was well known to be a cranky person was calling, they took the call so I wouldn’t have to deal with any added stress.

Levi had taken it upon himself to make sure that I was eating completely healthy, and took anything away that was junk and deliciously tasty.

I had brought it upon myself to sneak snacks into the washroom. I had them hidden in my purse. It seems that the second I was at work, they didn’t let me leave; not to even go to lunch or pick up lunch. They had everything delivered, or other employees had brought it up for us.

They didn’t really need me here anymore since they weren’t letting me do my job.

I spent the day bored and playing solitaire on my computer.
