Decker and Kendrick separate the wet blankets from the useable ones, laying everything out around us and rearranging the pillows.

Emotion clogs my throat as I watch them work together. Kylian guides me over and lays me down on the fresh blankets. I snuggle up against them, feeling more settled and satisfied than I ever have in my life.

Nicky lies near my left leg, planting a sloppy kiss on my stomach and grinning up at me before mouthing “love you” and wrapping a tatted hand around my thigh.

Kylian situates himself so he’s up near my head, his lips at my ear. He keeps praising me, the steady stream of veneration warming me from the inside out.

Kendrick smooths his big palm up the length of my right leg, coming to rest with his stubbled jaw pressed into my side. I reach down and scratch his head, delighting when he closes his eyes with a satisfied smile.

Decker finally joins us, weaving his arm under my head and possessively grabbing one of my breasts. The cool underside of his wedding band brushes against my nipple and inspires a full body shiver.

Peering up at him, I wait until I catch his gaze.

“Thank you,” I tell him softly.

For tonight. For this life. I couldn’t even begin to properly thank any of them for everything they’ve done for me. For the love and security. For the hope and the joy.

I don’t know what I did to deserve these men and the beautiful life we’re creating. But as they surround me, each one snuggling close, touching me and peppering my skin with kisses all while whispering their adoration, I decide it doesn’t matter. Everyone deserves the chance to live the truest, fullest, most beautiful version of their life.

It’s me and them, forever and ever. I’ll never take for granted the way we all care for one another.

I am here. This is now.

This is my happily ever after. I plan to hold on tight and never let it go.
