To her surprise, he reached across the table and took her hand in his.
“I want you to be happy. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking, and I don’t want to be the reason you don’t find the happiness you deserve.”
Tears threatened to make an appearance at her brother’s words. She had thought she would have had to fight him tooth and nail about being with Tanner and Jonas. In the end, it would have been her choice, but she couldn’t stand any kind of turmoil with her brother.
“I know you don’t need my permission on who you are with, but I want you to know that I won’t stand in your way, even if the thought of you with both of them still seems so crazy. You’re my sister, I love you, and you live your life however makes you happy.”
He gave her hand a squeeze, and she let her tears fall. It seemed since coming back to Hayven Hill that was all she had been doing. Rian was out of his chair and around the table in seconds.
He wrapped his arms around her and kissed the top of her head. “I’m sorry I went all Rambo yesterday. Taking my anger out on Tanner and Jonas and having you there to watch is something I’ll always regret.” He leaned back and tilted her head up with his hands on her cheeks. “Can you forgive me for being such an asshole?”
She smiled and nodded. He leaned down and kissed her forehead.
This certainly wasn’t how she saw this meeting going, but she couldn’t have asked for a better outcome.

TWO WEEKS LATER
“Dinner was delicious. Thank you, guys.” Sasha wiped her mouth on the linen napkin and looked between the two men she was desperately in love with.
Tanner took her plate to the sink while Jonas grabbed a bowl of strawberries and whipped cream and came back to the table. Over the last two weeks, they were getting to know each other again.
Four years changed three people a hell of a lot. The years apart had shaped them into the adults they were now, and Sasha was thankful that she was getting the chance to learn more about the men they had become.
She sat at the dining room table and watched Tanner clean the counter Jonas had fucked her on, and heat rushed through her. She’d ended up buying the house where all the drama unfolded and knew it was the right decision.
Not only did her men live only a mile down the road but the home was everything she had ever dreamed of. The past two weeks had been about them getting to know each other. They recounted on their pasts and all the memories they had shared together.
Sasha missed those days, but she wasn’t living in the past anymore. When she decided to go through with being with Tanner and Jonas, she made the promise to herself and them that she was going to only focus on the here and now.
With Rian slowly becoming accustomed to their relationship and her parents coming around to the idea that their “baby girl” was in a serious relationship with two men, she was starting to see that silver lining.
“Thank you again for dinner,” she said.
Tanner came back to the table and sat beside his brother. She stared at both of them, falling in love with them even more with each passing day. It was going on eight at night, but she was far from ready to end the evening.
She may have had sex with both of them on separate occasions, kissed them, and let them touch her at the same time, but she had yet to be with them intimately simultaneously.
She wanted that...desperately.
“Anytime, baby.” Tanner reached across the table and took her hand. He brought it to his mouth and kissed each of her fingers.
“You want to watch a movie?” Jonas leaned back in his chair and took a sip from his wine glass. And that was another reason why she loved them so much. They never expected anything more than what she was willing to give.
“No. What I want to do requires less clothing.” They looked at each other, as if taken back by her response. In truth, she was feeling mighty courageous right now.
That might have something to do with the two glasses of wine she had with dinner, though.
Tanner took up the same position as his brother: relaxed but fully invested in the conversation. “Is that right?’ He brought his beer bottle to his lips and took a long pull as he watched her. He set the bottle down, and the look he gave her could have left scorch marks on the floor. “Go on, baby. Tell us exactly what you have in mind.”
When she didn’t respond right away, Jonas decided to jump in the conversation. “Go on, sweets.” He leaned forward and rested his forearms on the table. Her pulse quickened, and she contemplated that perhaps she should have just kept her mouth shut and let things play out on their own.
