“I forgive you for that,” I say, reaching for his hand. “It’s in the past.”

He leans over, pressing a kiss to my lips. “I have to head to the office, call me if you need me to pick anything up on the way home.”

I smile, and watch as he heads out the door, putting his messenger bag over his shoulder, and snagging a waffle off the plate Ben and Colin have sitting out.

Alex wasn’t lying about enjoying having sex during that time of the month. He was also correct about orgasms helping with period cramps. Alex fucked me twice a day for the rest of the week, locking us in Mac’s room so he could keep me to himself. One time, Ben stood outside the door, and kept begging to be let in, telling Alex that he couldn’t hog me to himself forever. I laughed because it was absolutely adorable hearing Ben pout through the door.

“Do you think...” I start to ask, as we cuddle in the bed after some morning sex.

“Do I think what?” he asks, tracing the tattoos on my arms.

“Do you think you’re ready for group sex with the guys?” I ask. “I don’t want you to do something you’re uncomfortable with, but I just wanted to make sure you’re okay.”

He stares up at the ceiling, contemplating. “I know I can watch you with them, I’ve done it before. I think I could try, but I don’t think I can do it while being the one lying beneath you. I would feel trapped. It’s one thing for just you to be on top of me, and I trust the guys, but I don’t want to push myself and panic. I don’t want to ruin the experience for everyone. You know?”

“I understand, but you wouldn’t we ruining anything,” I tell him, reaching up to place my hand on his jaw. “Take your time, only when you’re ready. Okay?”

He nods, pressing a kiss to my temple. “Thank you for being so understanding.”

Just then, Mac’s bedroom door bursts open. “Okay, love birds. Time to get up,” Ben says with Colin following behind. “We’ve got a big day.”

The two guys jump on the bed, and Ben grabs my ankles, trailing kisses up my legs.

I squirm, trying to kick him off of me because it tickles. He finally lets go when he comes to lie down between my legs.

“What’s our big day?” I ask, threading my fingers through his hair.

Colin lies down beside me. “We’ve got a surprise at my place. The construction crew has been working mad overtime to finish it before Thanksgiving.”

My heart stops. “Thanksgiving?” I ask. “It feels like it was just September.”

“Yeah,” Colin says with a smile. “Guess time flies when you’re having fun.”

I roll my eyes at him. “So why were you so gung-ho on the construction being finished?”

“Well, I was hoping we could invite my family over, and Ben’s...” Colin says.

My heart sinks. I completely forgot about Thanksgiving. I usually have brunch with Kristen and Kane before they head to our parents for a feast. I wonder if they’re doing that this year, or if Kane still isn’t speaking to them. He hasn’t reached out to me since I told him about my relationship with his college buddies, but Kristen still checks in every now and then.

“Uh, yeah. I mean, it’s your house,” I say, shrugging my shoulders. “I could just hang out here with Alex and Mac while you have family over.”

I look at Alex, he hasn’t mentioned any family other than his parents who are both deceased. And I’m not sure if Mac is close to his family, I’ve got a lot of learning to do about my guys.

“I’m down with whatever you want to do, baby,” Alex says.

“I was hoping you guys would come too,” Colin says. “I want to introduce my parents to my girlfriend...”

“And her three other boyfriends?” I ask, a little harsher than I mean too.

Colin’s tongue peeks out to lick his lower lip.

“I’m not going to hide you guys from my family,” Colin says sternly. “You’re my family now too, all four of you.”

“And my parents are fairly progressive,” Ben pipes up. “Two moms.”

My eyes go wide. “You have two moms?”
