CLARA

“ H e’ll be home with us on Monday,” Carter says.

It’s been a week since the surgery, and I’ve been quite busy between the hospital visits and packing our things for the move. Matty was obviously elated to hear that we’ll be living at the mansion, and the idea is certainly sounding better and better to me with each passing day.

“Until then, we’ve got this place all to ourselves,” Damon adds as we bring the last of my boxes into the living room.

“So much space,” I chuckle, checking the side of the box.

Books and bookends. I look up and notice that they added another bookshelf unit to fit my titles.

Ever so thoughtful and loving. I can’t get enough of them.

Jace comes up from behind and takes me in his arms. Clearly, they can’t get enough of me either.

It’s been kind of a honeymoon since the nightmare with Bill ended, and I’ve enjoyed every second.

“You smell like spring,” Jace whispers in my ear .

“That’s cute. I thought I smelled of sweat and exhaustion,” I giggle in his firm embrace.

“I’m loving every whiff,” he says.

His words trickle into my ear, setting off a chain reaction. My skin comes alight, every nerve ending responding to his touch. His fingers trace an invisible line from my ear lobe, then down my bare shoulder, my back and my hip before they dig in and pull me closer.

I feel him hard and ready against my backside.

Carter and Damon approach with hungry looks in their eyes. All I can do is smile as I watch them remove their shirts, then their pants, while Jace peels my tee and jeans off with swift moves.

Before I’m able to take another breath, I find myself heated up and naked between my men, our hands roaming everywhere.

“I’ve missed this,” Carter says as he pulls me into a ravenous kiss.

“Better enjoy it while we still can. Soon enough, we’re going to have two kids running around on the premises, darting every which way,” I laugh lightly.

Damon gently nibbles on the side of my neck. “That’s alright. We’ll figure out a way for this kind of stuff then, too.”

“Oh, Damon,” I moan as he lowers his head and takes my nipple in his mouth.

Shivers trickle down my spine as I surrender to them. My muscles tighten when Carter’s hand finds my pussy hot and slick, my clit swollen and begging for a tumultuous release .

“You’re never leaving our side again,” he says, each word set in stone.

“Never, baby. Never again.”

Damon keeps my mouth busy, our tongues wrestling until we lose all control.

“I need you,” I manage in between ragged breaths, tightening my grip on his hard, pulsating cock as I guide him to the sofa. “Oh, fuck,” I stop moving when Jace’s lips close around my clit, suckling until he pushes me over the edge.

I cry out in ecstasy, coming hard before they sweep me off my feet and move us to the seating area.

Before I’m able to come out of my sweet haze, my core rippling outward in hot, simmering flashes, Damon settles me on top of him, while Carter takes me from behind. Jace stays close, letting me take him in my mouth while two massive cocks fill and stretch me into a delightful madness.

“Every day is going to be like this,” Carter grunts, his fingers digging into my ass as he pounds into me. “Add it to the list of pros. Fucking hell, you’re so damn hot, so damn wet and tight.”

“Come for me,” Damon beckons me. He feels my clit pressing into his groin. He knows what it does to me, so he plants his heels into the floor and starts drilling into me from below.

Jace slides down my throat, and I let every inch of him go in, tears streaming down my cheeks as I suck him.

My breasts bounce as he runs his fingers through my hair, as all three of my men make love to me.

Carter kisses the back of my neck, and it’s all I can do to remain in my position as they claim me—deep, hard, and fast—each racing toward a blissful climax.

I explode all over Carter and Damon as they thrust themselves even deeper.

I swallow every drop of Jace as he comes, our eyes locked.

Carter comes next, throbbing inside me as he pumps me full of him. Damon saves the best for last, grunting as he takes me deep, squeezing my breasts until, finally, I feel him. I welcome every drop of him, wrapped around his throbbing cock, squeezing him dry as he kisses me.

It is the greatest feeling in the world.

“I feel safe here with you,” I say, my head resting on Carter’s chest.

We’re in the bedroom now, our bodies spent from all the lovemaking.

Damon lays at the foot of the bed, catching his breath.

“Good. It means we’re doing something right,” Carter replies, his fingers drawing a myriad of circles all over my upper back.

“You were always doing something right,” I say. “I’m the one who kept falling short.”

“No, you were struggling to stay alive, to protect your son,” Jace says, rolling over to face us. “You’ve got to stop blaming yourself for what happened. It was all Bill’s fault.”

“I could’ve?— ”

“Shush,” Carter cuts me off and kisses my forehead. “We’ve been over this. I thought we agreed that the past stays in the past.”

I sigh deeply.

It’s easier said than done. I suppose it’ll be a while before I’m able to actually forgive myself, but I will get there. I’m just glad they’ve forgiven me, that they’re here, bringing out the best in me, keeping me safe and happy.

“And speaking of the future,” Jace says, then gets up, rummaging through a nightstand drawer with a smile on his face.

I laugh. “We were talking about the past.”

“Right, but we always talk about the past right before we address the future,” he replies and takes out a small velvet box.

I gasp and sit up, my heart jumping. “Jace!”

“Might as well make it official, baby.”

Carter smiles as Jace opens the box to reveal a gorgeous diamond ring. The principal stone is tear-shaped and mounted on a crown of fine pink sapphires, each capturing glints of the sunset and refracting it into a billion other colors.

“Oh my God,” I manage, tears quick to fill my eyes.

“You belong with us, Clara,” Carter says. “Body and soul. We already have a child together, and Shiloh, too, with another one on the way.”

“We’re the happiest when we’re with you,” Damon adds, a slight tremor of emotion adding a new layer to his voice.

“ You make us want to do more. For ourselves, for the kids, for you. For this whole damn town and its judgy cohorts, even. You, Clara, are a guiding light, a soothing presence, a reason for each of us to smile, every day when we open our eyes.”

“Let us make an honest woman out of you,” Jace says. “You deserve safety and love, peace and prosperity. Let us show you that life can be the epitome of a beautiful dream. It’s not going to be easy, I know. It’s going to get messy and stressful at times. But the four of us can handle anything.”

I take a moment to just breathe.

To peel my eyes off that astonishing rock, so that I can look each of my men in the eyes. Someone needs to pinch me because this feels like a dream. Overjoyed and barely able to utter one word, I manage to nod as Jace exhales sharply and slips the ring on my finger.

“How will it work?” I ask. “Legally, I can’t marry all three of you, as much as I want that.”

“You’ll be married to me in the eyes of the law,” Carter says. “But you’ll marry the three of us in your heart.”

Damon shrugs. “We all agreed that the Lockwood name would give you the ultimate protection, legally speaking. It entitles you to the estate, a trust fund, and it’ll be easier for the kids, too.”

“Wow, you’ve really thought this through.”

“Of course,” Jace replies and kisses me deeply. “I told you, baby. You’re not getting away from us again. And we’re going to give you every possible reason to stick around this time. ”

“I already have every possible reason to stick around.” I throw my arms around his neck, then feverishly kiss Carter and Damon too.

I know that my brother is smiling down on us.

I know he’s relieved that I’ve finally found what I’ve always wanted.

The truest love of all.
