We?

Warmth spreads through me at his words, but I don’t want to get my hopes up. I look at him, hoping to see a glimmer of promise. “You’re no longer our client, Erin,” Beau says.

“I’m still too young, though.”

“Are we too old for you, Erin?” Jove asks.

“No. It isn’t me who had a problem with the age gap. It was you.”

“You don’t?”

“I never did.”

Beau glances at Jove, who nods in agreement, before he says, “Good. Because we have been waiting for you, Erin.”

“Waiting for me? What do you mean?”

“We’ve been waiting for the right moment to tell you how we feel.”

Their words sink in and my heart beats faster. Could it be? Could they really want me? I’ve had feelings for all of them for so long, but I never thought they could be reciprocated. “What are you saying?” I ask, my voice barely above a whisper.

“That we want you, Erin,” Atty says, his hand sliding up my arm.

“And not just for one night,” Jove adds, his hand on my other arm.

Jove and I share a look.

“I thought...”

He places his index finger over my lips and shakes his head. “I know what you’re thinking. And you’re right, but I’ve been thinking about us a lot.” He turns to look at Beau and Atty. “The four of us. They’re right. You’re perfect for us. And as long as you’re wanting the three of us, then I’m comfortable with it all. Better than comfortable. I want it too.”

I smile at Jove. He continues talking. “I know it took me a while to get here. But I promise I am fully in, if you are fully in. We want you with us, to be ours.”

My heart races. “You do?”

Beau smiles. “Yes, that’s right. We want you to be with us, always.”

I can’t believe what I’m hearing. These three men, who have been my protectors, my friends, my everything, want me. And I couldn’t be happier.

Jove steps forward, his eyes locked onto mine. There’s a softness in his gaze that I haven’t seen before. It sends shivers down my spine. But it’s not just him; Beau and Atty stand slightly behind him. My heart pounds.

“What do you want, Erin,” Atty says.

Chapter 22

Jove

Myheartbeatsonlyfor her. She’s gorgeous. She’s wearing a cream-colored suit: three quarter length pants with matching jacket, with a pin-tuck navy shirt underneath. Navy high heels emphasize the length and shape of her legs. She looked gorgeous in Club Sin, but today dressed ready for business and seeing her for the first time in weeks is making my cock ache.

We waited to contact Erin. Waited for her to have enough time to process everything she’d gone through. We know she grieved losing her cousin once she was at her parents’ home in London. So we left her for a little over one month. And it was the longest time of our lives.

But each of the three of us missed her. Not just Atty and Beau. I missed her more than I ever thought I would.

And as she stands in the middle of the cottage, looking around and wondering what the fuck is going on, my hands are craving to touch her. Just like I do to myself when I’m in the shower, pumping my cock as I remember not only room twenty-three, but every minor detail. I know now that Erin is more than a one night fuck.

She’s the one we’ve searched for.

Why didn’t I see it?
