Page 115 of My Three Hometown Alphas

Will steps in behind me, pulling one of his old T-shirts over my head.

I peek at him over my shoulder as I slide my arms through the sleeves. “Thank you.”

“Of course, rebel.”

We all brush our teeth, then fall into the comfort of the bed they made on the floor. I’m sandwiched between Owen and Miles with my hand held tight in Will’s, who is lying beside Owen.

“Please pick some furniture and move all of your stuff in,” Owen says. There’s a vulnerability to his voice that tugs at my heart. “If you really need more time with your own space, we’ll respect that. We just want you here under the same roof with us.”

“We want you here all the time, for the good stuff… and the bad stuff, too,” Miles says from behind me.

“Okay. We can do it tomorrow,” I say. I know this is where I belong, and I don’t want to wait anymore.

I don’t really know why I’ve held out for this long, other than it’s what seemed like I should be doing. I don’t care anymore, though.

Thisis what I want, what we all want.

“Good,” Owen says, fully settling his head against the pillow.

“We need to buy one of those huge beds that Hadley and her guys have,” Miles says.

A king-size bed isn’t going to cut it if we’re all going to be sleeping in it sometimes.

“I’ll ask her where they got it,” I say, biting my lip. I can only imagine all the dirty, dirty sex we’re going to have in that bed.

Everything is quiet for a minute. I think they all might be asleep, or at least close to it.

“Baby.” Will’s voice tickles my ear from my almost-asleep state.

“Yeah,” I whisper because it feels like I need to do that now.

“Is that job really something you’d want to do?”

The sides of my mouth curve. “Yeah, it really is. I’ve never really thought about teaching, but I think it could be awesome.”

His hand tightens around mine for a second. “Don’t take it just because it’s here.”

“I won’t. I promise.”

“Take a job because it’s what you really want,” Miles says, snuggling in a closer to my back.

“You deserve the best,” Owen says, resting his forehead against mine.

“Good thing I have you guys, then.”

And it’s true. They are the best damn thing that has ever happened to me. The love I have for all of them is the most all-consuming and beautiful thing I’ve ever experienced.

I can only imagine how that love will feel in a year… five years… ten… twenty.

I drift off to images of what life will look like, what our love will grow into through all the ups and downs I’m sure life has to offer us. Because I know with every fiber of my being that these men are my forever.

I didn’t know if I would ever feel like I had a real family again after my dad passed, but my guys and Lyla have become my family—my everything.

AVERY

“Hads, I need you to breathe,”I tell Hadley, grabbing both her hands in mine. “Look at me.”
