“You don’t hide how you feel,” Mason continued.“And your smile rivals the sun.”

Darlene stared at his hand, waiting for her, and let herself consider it.

A nice normal relationship.With two men.Okay, so two men at once was a little extra, but...they weren’t lying.She’d gotten really good at spotting the lies men told her.Their words always had a slimy residue.A little too kind, too fast, and too pretty.

Mason and Magnus didn’t talk like that.

She’d learned to trust her instincts, and hers were telling her that Mason and Magnus meant what they said.

She slowly lifted her hand and set it on Mason’s.He closed his fingers around her and lifted her hand to his mouth, placing a kiss, not on her knuckles, but on her palm.

A zing of arousal went through her and she gasped.

Magnus held his hand out and Mason placed hers in his grasp.He kissed her palm as well and she had to swallow hard to keep from pulling him toward her.

His lips were so soft.She wanted to feel them on a lot more of her skin.

Laughter from a neighboring table of ladies captured Darlene’s attention.

“Thank you,” Darlene said to her.When she looked at him again, the softness in her eyes had disappeared.

She cleared her throat.“When you say relationship, what do you mean, exactly?”

“We would like to have you live with us,” Mason told her.

“But only when you’re ready,” Magnus added.

She dropped her gaze to the table and tugged her hand free from his grasp.“What would we do together?”
