Sin City Baby

I watched all of my brothers widen their eyes while Owen automatically began shaking his head. Ethan was looking at me like my eyeball just popped out onto the table but I could tell by the look on Rowan and Blake’s faces that they had already considered that option.

Because they didn’t seem to be shocked by my statement at all.

“Look, aren’t six Trent brothers better than just one?” I asked. “Look at what we could give her. When you’re with someone, they might fill some of you. Or most of you. But not all of you. Kyra’s that rare person that can fill each part of someone but the problem with someone as complex and caring as Kyra is the fact that one man just isn’t gonna give her all she needs.”

“He’s right,” Rowan said. “I’ve been tossing the issue around for a few days now.”

“Same here,” Blake said. “It’s why I said what I said yesterday about sharing her.”

“Wait, you mean you were serious about that shit?” Ethan asked.

Owen continued to shake his head.

“Owen, you know I’m right,” I said. “Kyra will never choose. Ever. And if she’s forced to, she’ll end up disappointing all of us by not choosing any of us. She’ll disappoint several brothers before she’ll ever put herself in a situation to be less than fulfilled and she cares too much about us.”

“I mean, we technically started this thing together,” Rowan said. “If you think about it, she’ll never be able to be with one of us without being reminded of another brother.”

“Then maybe she needs to choose the brother that’s more of a man than any of us put together,” Ethan said.

“Which we all know is Chance, so get over it,” I said.

The look Ethan gave me was nothing short of a death glare. Everyone else laughed.

“Look,” I said. “We all care about Kyra. More than anything else in this world, right?”

“Yeah,” my brothers said.

“So, why not work together to win her over?” I asked. “She’s already said no to Landon. Supposedly, at least. If we win her over, we could all spend the rest of our lives together. Loving her and sharing her.”

“But what if we don’t want to share her all the time?” Ethan asked.

“Seriously?” Owen asked.

“No,” I said. “It’s a fair question. And he’s right. We wouldn’t share her all the time. She’s gonna want personal time with all of us, just like we do with her. We just have to work that out. Like all couples work things out.”

“Like a schedule?” Rowan asked. “Would she even go for something like that?”

I shrugged. “She’s had all of us. Together. Twice. I think at this point, anything is possible.”

“I think Harper has a point,” Owen said.

“Do you guys hear yourselves?” Ethan asked. “Do we really think this could work?”

“It’s worth a shot for Kyra,” Rowan said. “It’s the only chance we’ve got, really.”

“Speaking of, what makes you think Chance is gonna go for this?” Ethan asked.

“Besides the fact that you aren’t with it yet and he’ll wanna piss you off?” I asked, grinning. “We all know Chance. He might be the oldest and a little rough around the edges, but he’s a pushover when it comes to Kyra. I chose him to go with her to the hospital because he’ll be the easiest to bring on board.”

“He’s never the easiest when it comes to me,” Ethan said.

“And that’s not our problem, nor is it Kyra’s,” I said harshly. “But if you guys are all on board for wooing her and making an attempt at this together, as a unit, I’ve got plans for a wonderful Christmas gift. We’ll have to call in every single favor we have, but we can pull it off.”

All of us slowly turned and looked at Ethan, who groaned and rolled his eyes.

“I knew you’d come around,” Rowan said, grinning.

“Okay, okay,” Ethan said, sighing. “What’s this master plan of yours?”
