“You really were digging around in the trash?” I ask, trying to stall for time.
My father glowers.
“Again, I wasn’t digging, Alyssa. They were just there. Now out with it. What have you been up to? Gangbangs? Group sex? Orgies?”
What? No! Ugh, why is he being like this? Red fills my vision as I scream at him like a teenager having a fit.
“That’s none of your business!” I spit. “Again, I’m a grown woman, and what I do with my body is up to me. I’m sorry if you’re concerned, but just stay out of it, okay?”
Cyrus’s face turns purple with rage.
“You are my daughter so of course I’m concerned! But I didn’t raise you to gangbang multiple guys! There were so many condoms in there, Liss! How many guys were you with last night? Four? Five?”
Now my face turns white with anger and I really let him have it.
“NO! Not that it matters though! If I want to bang ten guys at once then it’s my prerogative!”
At that, Cyrus’s face goes pale.
“Please tell me you’re not a prostitute,” he begs. “Honey, I won’t be angry, I swear. But please tell me the truth: is that what you’re doing? Are you selling your body for money? Do you need funds, Alyssa? You know I have a lot, so why would you stoop to this?”
The situation has become so ludicrous that I can hardly believe we’re having this conversation.
“No, I’m not a prostitute,” I say in a disgusted voice. “God, Dad! You always think the worst of me, don’t you?”
Cyrus looks defeated now.
“I don’t know what to think,” he says tiredly while staring at the ground. “Please Alyssa. Elucidate. Educate me. I want to know because I’m your father and I want to be here for you.”
My heart turns over, even if my face feels flaming hot.
“Fine,” I retort. “I’m with two men, okay? I’m in love with two guys and yes, I have sex with both of them simultaneously. There, are you happy? That should explain the multiple condoms because we like to have a good time. And no, they don’t pay me for my body, thank you very much.”
At that moment, the door opens behind me and in stroll Bart and Liam. The two men are insanely gorgeous, but as my protectors, they immediately sense that something’s wrong and come to stand beside me, practically bristling with aggression.
“What’s going on?” demands Liam, his blue eyes narrowing. “Mr. North? What are you doing here?”
“Something we can help with?” adds Bart, glowering at Cyrus as if he’s shit smeared on the bottom of his shoe.
Tears pool in my eyes. I don’t want my dad to be hurt by the revelation that I’m with both Bart and Liam, but I’m not going to break up with them just because Cyrus disapproves either. After all, I adore my two lovers, and they make me incredibly happy.
“It’s nothing,” I say in a tight voice. “Cyrus was just leaving.”
But my father shakes his head, his blue gaze searing the younger men.
“Are you with them?” he demands in a rough voice. “Are these two guys your lovers?”
I take a deep breath, my head spinning. But then I nod as Liam and Bart bristle and growl on either side of me. Their huge forms are comforting, and I know I’m safe so long as they’re here.
“Yes. I’m in love with Liam and Bart, and they’re my boyfriends. I know that this is unexpected, and that you didn’t raise me to date two men at once, but it just happened and we love each other. Please don’t be angry, Cyrus. Life often turns out different than what you’d expect.”
My father looks like he’s going to hyperventilate, and I literally step forward to see if he needs assistance, but he puts one hand up as the other one grips his chest.
“No, I’m okay,” he wheezes in a strangled voice. “I just need to sit.”
With that, he drops onto the sofa, still massaging his chest as if his heart hurts.
“Shit,” rasps Bart. “This is unexpected.”
“Should we call 911 just in case?” Liam growls, a worried look on his handsome face. “I don’t want to end up with a corpse on our living room floor.”
At that, Cyrus lets out a harsh bark of a laugh.
“No, I’ll be fine, but first,” he says, swinging that laser blue gaze around to focus on me. “We need to talk.” With that, I know that this is the most important conversation I’ll ever have in my life because I’ve always been a daddy’s girl, but now Cyrus has been supplanted by two men whom I adore more than anything in the world.

Liam
I can understand why Cyrus is freaking out right now. He cares about his daughter, and finding out that she’s with not one, but two alpha males, is always a major adjustment. After all, most people think of giving away their daughter at the altar to a beaming groom dressed in a tux. No one imagines two beaming grooms, reaching forward to join themselves to one beautiful bride in wedded bliss.
