And I couldn’t wait to see what the futureheld for us…

Epilogue

Keegan

Beautiful.

Everything from the decorations to the wayNiall and Julian behaved was perfect.

The first was due in large part to the Domgroom’s mother—she was wonderfully fascinating—and the second was because ofthe therapy, but I was enjoying every moment of it.

Tugging on Julian’s hand, I whispered as wewalked through the backyard of one of the Dom groom’s brothers, flowers anddecorations everywhere. “When we have our commitment ceremony, I want to doMom’s backyard like this.”

There was a lot to keep track of but thegroom’s mother had worked with Carter, the sub groom, on getting everythingperfect and they’d done an amazing job.

Julian chuckled as Niall gave us both acurious look. “We’re not going to rush, but yes, I think the yard would beperfect for something like this.”

“And that yard is private enough that ifsome of the guests wanted to come dressed a little less conventionally, itwouldn’t be a problem.” Most of the people at Grant and Carter’s wedding weredressed very nicely, but there were more than few who seemed like they’d bemore comfortable dressed a bit less formally.

My Doms looked damned sexy in their suits,but it was so easy to imagine everyone in their club gear that I wasn’t surewhat I wanted for our ceremony…once they got around to asking, of course.

But since we’d only been going to therapy alittle over a month, I wasn’t expecting it to happen anytime soon. Just thefact that they’d been talking to Miles and that Niall was working through hisproblems was miracle enough for the moment.

Niall cleared his throat as we moved overto our seats, the rows of chairs decorated with either a dark blue to representGrant or a creamy pale pink color to represent Carter. “Do you think he’s goingto wait for us to ask him or do you think he’s just going to start planning itall one of these days?”

Julian’s answer made me giggle. “It couldgo either way. It’s just going to depend on whether he thinks we’re draggingour feet or not.”

Nodding, I gave them both very innocentcheek kisses and smiled sweetly. “I’ll let you figure out what the timeline fortaking our time versus dragging your feet might be.”

“Brat.” But Niall’s smile said that wasn’tnecessarily a bad thing.

When we’d first met, even the hint of aceremony between the three of us would’ve given him hives from all the worries,but with the therapy starting and just seeing how confident their friends wereabout our relationship, he was much more laid back.

Oh, he’d always be my dramatic Dom and aworrier, but there was something about him that felt more at peace. Julian too.His calm seemed more about having someone he trusted to submit to sometimes.

We were taking that slow, but just thesimple things Niall would do for him outside of any kind of a traditional scenewas enough to make him feel loved and protected…and that made him a lot lesssnippy with Niall.

It was amazing what a bit of submissioncould do for a person.

“You’d be bored if I was too well-behaved.”My cheeky answer had someone in the row behind us giggling. I turned, givinghim a wink and a smile as Niall sighed, making us both laugh.

“I think we should test that theory.” Hisdry response had Julian trying not to grin, but he was doing a terrible job ofit.

“Hmm, I promise two weeks of my bestbehavior once we’ve had a commitment ceremony of some sort.” Before Niall couldgive me another dry comeback, everyone seemed to perk up and the last fewpeople that had been wandering around sat down.

It was time.

We all held our breath for a few seconds ofabsolute silence before everything fell into place and the music started. Grantlooked elegant in his suit, but Carter was the star of the show as he came downthe aisle in an elegant dress that was covered in lace and had an old-fashionedlook.

Reaching out on either side of me, I heldtheir hands and watched as the two men came together in front of their familyand friends. As Niall and Julian squeezed my hands, I knew we were allimagining us being up there…making promises…binding our lives together forever.

One day we would be standing there staringinto each other’s eyes as we said the words for everyone else to hear, but Icould already feel their commitment in every hug and see it in every smile. Iknew they loved me, but until that moment, I would cherish every conversationand every win as they battled the past to win our future…because love wasalways worth fighting for.
