Page 51 of My Best Friend's Triplet Brothers

“What was that about? Are you fucking that guy?” His voice was harsh and just a little too loud for my liking.

I sat down across from him and scowled. He made it easy to forget how happy I’d just been to be flirting with Lucas. “Are you kidding me? First of all, Milo, we’re not together. Even if I was having sex with someone, it’s none of your business. Second of all, I asked you to leave last night. Third of all, you really wanted to sit down and have this conversation, so let’s focus on that.”

He shook his head. “He touched you like he knows you.”

My stomach fluttered. Lucas did know me. We’d all grown so familiar with each other so quickly. “Milo, focus.”

“How long did it take before you decided fucking someone else was okay?”

“Have you forgotten that we’re broken up because you cheated on me? You watched me pack my bags and leave without saying a word, Milo. Why are you trying now?” I leaned in so no one else would overhear us. “Even if I was fucking someone else, you’d have no reason to be upset. We’re not together. We’re not going to be together. Ever.”

“I came all this way to make it right.”

“Too little, too late.” I looked him right in the eye and spoke with as much sincerity as I could. “Two years was enough for this relationship. I realize now that we were both settling. I don’t want that anymore.”

“That’s bullshit. We had fun together.”

“Did we? Maybe you’re thinking of the girl you were cheating on me with for six months.” I shrugged. “It doesn’t matter, Milo. This is over. I’m not interested in settling.”

“Because you have someone else already?”

Yes. Three someones, to be exact.And I didn’t know if they were mine to have, but they’d shown me that I could be happy, wholly. I didn’t have to settle. I didn’t have to worry that I’d die alone if I didn’t take whoever gave me attention. I could be picky. “Because I don’t want you. This ended for me the day I moved out. I should’ve been sad, Milo. I wasn’t. Do you really want someone who isn’t sad to lose you?”

He shook his head and leaned back in his chair. “You’re kind of a bitch, Sara.”

I stood up and stared down at him. “And you’re a sorry lay with an inability to understand the word loyal. Can I trust you to find your way out of here?”

He just looked off in the distance and ignored me.

I walked away feeling a release. That chapter closed for good, I could move on. It terrified me how much I wanted my next chapter to be the three brothers who I knew were probably waiting around, worried that Milo had upset me. They’d gotten under my skin so thoroughly. They’d always had that power; they’d just finally decided to use their power for good rather than evil.

Like I’d assumed, the three of them were standing in the lobby, arms crossed over their chests, looking like three angry Greek gods. I smiled, unable to help it. Walking to the stairs, they fell into step behind me. A hand settled on my ass and another gripped the back of my neck. I grinned and sidestepped the hands, earning frustrated growls from them. Possessive and needy, they rushed me back to Lucas’s suite, barely getting inside the room before they were undressing me.
