Page 37 of My Best Friend's Triplet Brothers

Chapter 14

Beingwiththeguys that night made it easy to separate my guilt and everything else. They were kind and doting and funny. They all stole kisses and held me, but they didn’t push me. Warren even acted like a complete gentleman after walking me to my room later. With a sweet kiss and a promise to see me the next day, he left.

I managed to keep that guilt away because I was able to fall asleep in a cloud of happiness. Just getting to finally confront them about everything in our past made me feel lighter. While I still wasn’t sure whether or not I believed them fully about why they’d been mean to me, I was sure that they weren’t the same people. It was also easy to just be with them. It didn’t feel taboo or freaky. It just felt nice.

I slept so good that night and woke up early, feeling better than I had in forever. It was menu sampling and cake testing day with Macy and the bridesmaids, so I had a full day planned, but I felt carefree. I dressed in a pretty dress that I’d bought on our shopping day and sang while I curled my hair. I was a bird away from being Snow White.

It seemed like I hadn’t even known the weight I was carrying about what the triplets had put me through. Feeling it slip away, though, had been cathartic. And I knew it made me a terrible person that only a little bit of the guilt came back when I sat down next to Macy in the dining room that afternoon, but that was the truth.

She had a dazed, happy look to her, too, and I grinned. It seemed the lingerie hadn’t made it to the wedding night. Looking over at me, she blinked like she hadn’t noticed me sit down, and then laughed. “We’re going back to that shop before we leave. They put something in the fabric there that turns Jason into a mad man. We missed the movie last night.”

I laughed. “You look like you’ve been thoroughly pleasured. That’s way better than a movie.”

She looked up at the ceiling and laughed again. “I think he broke me. I’ve never had so many orgasms in my life.”

Megan slipped into the seat next to Macy and looked us both over. “I want what y’all are having.”

I pretended I didn’t hear her and gasped when Macy’s wedding planner strolled into the room. She was wearing a giant, plumed hat, and she was carrying a large leather folder.

Macy hid a giggle. “Isn’t she wild?”

I agreed. Quickly, we were swept into cocktail hour options and then dinner options. Everything was delicious, but Macy seemed to know what she wanted. Then came the cake testing. I was only slightly sad that I wasn’t making my best friend’s wedding cake, but she’d done it for me. She didn’t want me worrying about cake when it was my vacation. When the resort baker rolled out a tray of tasting cakes, however, I felt a tinge of jealousy.

The cake tasting was tainted for me because I couldn’t stop thinking about what I would’ve done differently. I had a million ideas for Macy’s wedding cake and nothing to do with them.

We’d spent hours tasting food and desserts by the time it wrapped up. More and more of Macy’s family had trickled in and the quiet hum that had been the past week in the resort had turned into a louder, more hectic buzz. Macy’s post-orgasm bliss faded before my eyes as she watched her family stumble in, out of the cold, shouting over the sounds of coats being shed at each other.

I loved Macy’s family, but they were chaotic. Which was why as soon as I could, I slipped away. There was an actual welcome dance that night and I wanted to look my best for the guys. For them, or at their expense, I wanted to look stunning.

Megan came with me, walking with me towards our rooms. “I’m so excited for the dance. I haven’t been to one since college.”

“I know. I was afraid the planner was losing it a little at first, but I’m so excited now. She was right.”

“Not about that hat, though.”

I giggled conspiratorially and stopped at my door. “At the risk of sounding like a teenager, have you already picked out your dress?”

Megan grabbed my hands and nodded. “I went a little dramatic. I don’t get to dress up very often, so I’m taking this chance to have my own Cinderella moment.”

“I spent three hundred dollars on a dress for tonight. Why? I have no clue. I’m an adult with bills, but when I heard dance and formal, I saw stars.”

After a few more minutes talking about our dresses, I slipped into my room while Megan left for hers. I closed the door and turned around, just to find Andrew sitting on my bed with a smile on his face. I jumped about a foot in the air and gasped.

“Oh, my god! What are you doing? You scared the hell out of me!” Grasping my chest, I walked towards him and into his arms without thinking. I hugged his head to my chest, wrapping my arms around his neck and groaning. “I think you just kicked five years off of my life.”

Andrew grabbed my hips and easily lifted me onto his lap. Once I was straddling him, he grinned up at me, all sunshine and happiness again. “Look at you.”

I stroked my hands through his hair and realized I’d never done that before. Doing it again, I leaned down and pressed a kiss to the tip of his nose. I was in such a good mood. “Look at me why?”

He tipped his head back, his lip caught between his teeth. “That feels good.”

I kissed him and smiled against his lips. “You’re in my room unexpected. To what do I owe this visit?”

“We’ll get there. Let’s go back to the part where you greeted me with a hug and a kiss.” He stroked his hands up and down my back. “I could get used to that.”

My heart fluttered, but I ignored it. “I want to get to the part where you broke and entered.”

“I have a key.”
