All I can see is her face—frozen in ecstasy—while our golden chain glints around her neck and her pulse pounds there in the candlelight.

Working himself in bit by bit, Carter fuses himself to Poppy. She would thrash in her attempts to get him to go faster, but Knox pins her in place for our partner and for me to attempt to soothe with my kisses.

Carter roars. Knox curses. Poppy shudders beneath us.

I’m gone.

As helplessly lost to the forces of nature as our beauty is.

We might be the richest bastards around, but she owns my heart, and I don’t think I’ll ever get it back. Nor do I want to reclaim it.

It’s hers.

I’m hers. She just doesn’t know it yet.

Neither do my best friends.

I’ve been waiting my whole life for this chance to create a family like the one I never had.

Now that I’ve found that bond with Carter and Knox—and soon a child of our own—I want that vision to include Poppy. For her to be as deliriously happy as I am in this moment, and enjoy how incredible the rest of our lives could be with her between us.

As Carter bottoms out in her, her eyes fly open and lock on each of ours in turn.

He’s done it.

He’s staked our claim.

I’m never going to let her go.

None of us are.

CHAPTER 9

Poppy

Oh my God. It’s in. It’s done.

Carter’s cock is buried inside me.

I can’t believe it.

I’m no longer a virgin.

It’s so much…more…than I expected. Overwhelming. He’s big and hot and heavy on top of me.

It hurts a little. That small pain is eclipsed by unimaginable ecstasy.

Soaring on the currents of passion, I surrender to the way my three billionaires make me feel, certain that they’re the only ones who ever could.

It’s better than my wildest dreams, though we’ve really just begun.

“More,” I pant as I rake my nails down Carter’s back. “Do it again. Move, please.”

As many times as I can in the next forty-eight hours, I want to hold them within me since they’ve ruined me for anyone else.

Instead, Carter wrenches out of me, his cock wet but still painfully hard. “Knox, you’re up. I need a break.”

“Already?” He laughs, but he doesn’t hesitate to swap places. “Carter, a one-stroke wonder! Never thought I’d see the day.”
