“Uh oh, that’s his lord and master pose,” Nico said, drawing her under his arm and leaning back with a hiss. “Fuck, how big is this plug?”
She settled in against him with a happy sigh. She loved nothing more than being close to her men. They settled her, grounded her, made her feel safe and loved.
“Bigger than me.”
Nico swore under his breath as she rubbed his thigh soothingly. “Maybe Liam will let me suck you off.”
“And maybe Liam won’t,” the other man said firmly. “He’s being punished for being a mouthy brat.”
“But you love my mouth,” Nico replied.
“I do. And if you don’t stop complaining, I’ll put that mouth to good use. I have several things to tell you both so hush. Charlotte.”
“Yes?”
“I stole a few of your paintings and took them to an old friend of my mother who owns an art gallery. She would like to have a showing featuring your paintings.”
“She . . . you . . . you did what?” she screeched, jumping up. “Liam, you can’t do that!”
“Already did. Sit down, please.”
“But you . . . I . . . this is insane. Nico, tell him this is insane. He can’t do this, can he?”
Nico tugged her down against him again. “Pretty girl, he already did. And didn’t you hear him? She wants to do a showing with your paintings! That’s awesome! And well deserved. Because you are amazing.”
She shook her head. “I . . . I can’t do it. I’ll have to go to the gallery. I can’t . . . I don’t . . . Liam!”
Liam knelt in front of her, taking her hands in his. “You can do this. Because we will be with you. All the way, baby girl.”
Her breathing was rapid but she wasn’t panicking. “You’ll both help me?”
“Of course we will,” Nico told her.
She could do this. With them. She could.
“We have months to prepare,” Liam soothed. “Her gallery is very popular and booked out well in advance.”
“Wait! She doesn’t just want them because she’s your friend?” She would hate that.
“What? No, baby. Of course not.”
“She wants them because they’re amazing,” Nico told her. “I’m so happy for you.”
“Glad you feel that way,” Liam said, turning to his husband. “Because I have a surprise for you.”
“You do?”
She turned to look up at Nico, who appeared shocked. Liam stood once more, affecting his lord and master pose. “Yes, I’ve bought you some time in a studio to record your music. And I have a music producer lined up to listen to it.”
Somehow, Nico managed to jump to his feet, even with a massive plug in his ass. “No!”
“Yes!”
“Liam, no!”
“Nico, yes. It’s time you realized how talented and amazing you are. And that you need to share it.”
She stood and wrapped her arms around Nico. “He’s right.”
“Fuck,” Nico groaned. “I can’t believe this.”
“You’ll be awesome and you should share your talent,” she told him.
“Lord help me,” Nico whispered.
“There’s more,” Liam told them.
“Do you not think you could do one bombshell a week,” Nico groaned. “My heart may not take it.”
Liam drew him close and whispered to him. Nico’s gaze lit up then he turned to look at her. Then he shuffled away.
“What’s going on?” she asked.
“Just wait.”
When Nico returned, he handed something to Liam, who put it in his pocket. She stared at them both in confusion as they dropped to one knee in front of her. Then both of them held out their hands. Moving on instinct, she raised her hands and slid each hand into one of theirs.
“Charlotte,” Liam begun. “I think I loved you almost from the moment I saw you. Without a doubt, you are beautiful, kind, and strong. I want to love you, protect and take care of you for the rest of your days. Will you marry me?”
He drew a ring out of his pocket with his free hand and held it up. It was a gorgeous, clear solitaire diamond. Before she could reply, Nico stole her attention.
“Lottie-bo-bottie,” he said with a grin. “You’re damn sexy, but you know that. You’re always shaking your ass in front of me, tempting me to be naughty and get into trouble.”
She gasped, and his smile grew.
“You’re also the heart in this relationship. You were the piece that was always missing. And now we want the world to know that you’re ours. Become ours, Lottie. Marry us?”
He held up a ring as well. A large pink diamond twinkled up at her.
With a sob, she nodded. “Yes, please. Yes.”
They slid their rings onto her left and right ring fingers. Then they stood and Liam drew her close and kissed her. Hard. Hot. Heavy.
When he pulled back, Nico tugged her forward, kissing her like his life depended on it. After he pulled away, Liam drew her up into his arms.
“How will we get married, though?” she whispered.
