“My first client isn’t until this afternoon,” Kai says. He wiggles his eyebrows at me, and I know what that means: if I come home for lunch, he and I can have some private sexytimes. I love the moments when we all come together, but being able to give my men individual attention is even more meaningful now that it doesn’t happen that often.

I smile at him. “See you for lunch.”

Thorn slides our plates in front of us then, and things are silent for a few minutes while we eat. Eventually, Kai pushes his empty plate aside and laces his hands over his chest, watching me with a familiar gleam in his eye.

“What?” I say.

“We have a wager for you.”

I almost choke on my bite of food, hastily washing it down with some coffee. “All three of you?”

“Sure.”

I sit back, mirroring his posture but crossing my arms. “Okay, shoot.”

“We can make you the happiest woman alive.”

I roll my eyes. “That’s not a wager. You already have, first of all, and second, all you have to do to keep winning is keep doing what you’re all doing.”

“Okay.” His agreement comes so quickly that I know he anticipated exactly what my response would be. “Then we wager we can give you two thousand orgasms in a month.”

I have to laugh, even as my pussy clenches. “Well, if anyone can do it, it’s you three. But what are the stakes? If you win, you get to give me even more orgasms, and if you lose, you … have to give me more orgasms to make up for it?”

Gage answers, with a mischievous light in his eyes that warns me something’s really at stake. “If we win, you agree to do whatever we want for one night.”

“Excuse me, but don’t I already do that?”

“No,” Thorn says. He’s got his Very Serious Face on, which always makes me want to laugh. “We exclude all sorts of activities that we suspect are outside your comfort zone.”

I scowl at him. “Like what?”

He gives me his most charming smile. “We can discuss that later. After we win.”

“Hmph. And if you fail?”

“We won’t,” Kai says. “But if we do, then same goes for you—whatever you want, for one night.”

I squint at him, wondering what we don’t already do that I’d have to talk them into. Then it hits me, and I fight to keep the smirk off my face.

“What?” Thorn demands.

I grin at him. “We can discuss it later. If you lose.”

“So you agree?” Gage says.

“Sure. Why not? It sounds like a win-win to me.”

“Then we just have one request.”

“And what’s that?” I arch my eyebrow, waiting for something snarky.

Instead, Thorn brings out a little velvet box and opens it. “You can make us the happiest men alive.”

I stare at the ring—three diamonds, in a setting that matches my necklace. I have to blink back the happy tears that try to flood my eyes. “I love you all so much.”

“We love you, Lexy,” Kai says.

Gage adds, “We want forever with you.”
