“First, there isn’t a single goddamn thing that’s normal anymore these days. And second … this isn’t happening that fast. I’ve been hung up on you since the first moment you took my hand, Lia. This is where we’ve always been headed.” He looked to Travis. “And the fact that I didn’t count on this being a trio instead of a couple doesn’t change a goddamn thing. Knowing that you have both of us to protect you and take care of you just eases my mind. It didn’t take me long to figure out that there were more upsides to this than downsides. And seeing you take us both last night…” Cam groaned. “Never seen anything hotter.”
Travis wrapped his arm around Lia’s shoulders, leaned down, and kissed her. When he lifted his mouth, he added, “Whatever’s going on in that beautiful head of yours—you gotta share. That’s the only way this is going to work—a lot of communication.”
She nodded. “Okay. I won’t … do the morning disappearing act again.”
“You sure as hell won’t,” Cam agreed. “Because you’re moving all of your shit into our cabin today.
Lia’s eyes went wide.
Hell. Maybe he should’ve saved that little announcement?
“Wait, what?”
“It’s not like we’d be able to hide this, even if we wanted to. And I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to hide jack shit.”
Lia swallowed, then squared her shoulders and looked from him to Travis and back to him. “You’re right. I just … I just hadn’t thought that far yet. I guess … it makes sense.”
“Damn straight it makes sense. We’ll help you move your stuff.”
Lia lay propped up on the pillows of their bed while she waited for her men.
Their bed.
Her men.
Holy hell. Only a month ago she would’ve never believed this was possible.
But it was. And the last two weeks had been amazing. They’d developed their own routine, and she’d gotten to know their habits and quirks.
Like, for instance, that Travis loved it when she played with his balls while she sucked his dick, and Cam was a sucker for a little assplay of his own.
Speaking of assplay … that was exactly what she was waiting for. Because they’d been holding out on her. And that was going to stop tonight.
The door creaked open, and excitement bloomed inside her.
“Baby, you in here?” Travis yelled from the door.
“Mmmmhmmm … and I’m waiting for you,” Lia called back.
Footsteps sounded as he closed in on the bedroom. Travis’s head swiveled in a double take—probably because she was naked and laid out on the bed. “Hell, you have no idea how much I want to just climb in with you, but I can’t. Ro’s in labor. Baby’s on the way.”
“Oh, shit.” Lia pushed to her knees and scooted off the bed. She ran to grab a T-shirt and jeans. “What can I do? Is she okay?”
“I think she’s fine, but we’re all on high alert. Her dad’s pacing, her sister’s pacing, and Graham and Zach are pacing. It’s like this whole place is holding its breath.”
“Where’s Cam?”
“He just swapped out with Graham’s watch. Ro and Allison have known that the baby was coming for a few hours, but she didn’t want to get G and Zach fired up until it was a little closer in time. So now shit’s moving along real quick. I’m going to relieve Ryan because Zach was up next to cover him.”
“Okay. Well, I guess I’ll go … help? Pace? I don’t even know.”
“I think Ty is in the kitchen pulling together some food since Allison is with Rowan.”
“Yes. Food. I can do that.”
Travis held out his hand. “I’ll walk you over there.”
Lia smoothed her hair back into a ponytail and grabbed an elastic off the dresser to secure it. She crossed the room to where Travis stood and took his hand.
Looking up into his gorgeous face, she said, “You know you don’t need to walk me everywhere anymore, right? I’m … I’m good. I’m not going to freak.”
Travis reached up and stroked along her cheekbone with his thumb. “I know you’re good. I’ve been watching you come into your own for months, and the last couple weeks have just been the icing on the cake. You’ve always been stronger than you realize, Lia. I’m just glad you’re figuring that out.”
A rush of warmth fluttered through her. The conviction with which he said the words, the softness with which he touched her. They were just two of the many things she loved about him.
“Thank you.” They were the only words that came to mind. “Thank you for believing in me.”
He lifted her hand to his lips and pressed the sweetest kiss to her knuckles. “Thank you for letting me be part of this with you and Cam. I know if you’d had to choose, you would’ve—”
Lia raised her finger and pressed it to her lips. “Don’t even say it. It’s the three of us against the world. Always. No matter what.”
His smile unfurled and lifted her heart. “Come on. Let’s get going.”
