Blair scowls. “I don’t want to share her like alternating nights and weekends. She’s not a kid we have custody of. I want to be with her all the time.”
He’s getting riled, so I have to make it clear to him. “No, don’t worry. That’s what I want too. We already share a business. We can share a house, so I can’t we share a wife? And if we have kids, our kids will be really be both of our kids, since we have identical DNA. It won’t matter who truly fathers them, will it?”
Blair looks blown away for a moment, as though he hadn’t even contemplated the idea. Which I guess makes sense. But considering how shocked he seemed by it, he comes around quickly. “So how would that work?” he muses. “I guess… One of us could marry her, and the other one could get her pregnant for the first time. After that, we could leave it up to fate?”
I nod, liking the sound of it. “Do you think she’ll agree?”
Blair gives me a sly smile. “I think we just have to make sure she wants to. Which means we have some planning to do.”
I’m about to throw out some ideas when I see a jewelry store out of the corner of my eye. I snatch up the phone and call our driver. “Turn around and take us back to that jewelry store we just passed. The one that’s still open.”
As the car turns, Blair arches a brow at me. “What are you doing?”
“Remember, it’s Christmas Eve tomorrow morning, and she needs a gift. I have something in mind, but you’d better help me pick it out since it’s from both of us.”
Chapter 13
Chastity
I wake up feeling refreshed and without a headache despite the glasses of champagne I had at the party. I also wake in an unfamiliar room. Judging by the luxury, it has to be someone’s room. Someone with money, and someone whose arms I was in last night — Blair’s or Liam’s.
I shiver as I think of the way they touched me last night, and I wonder if they regret what we did, or if they’re still as into the idea as I am. The thought of having them both again, but going even farther this time, makes me tingle all over. I want them, both. Completely.
Somewhere along the way in the last few weeks, I fell madly and completely deeply in love with both brothers. It’s impossible to choose between such amazing men, and I dare to hope that I won’t have to. I’d hate to lose either. I don’t know if they want me as a short-term fling, a bucket-list sexual experience, or something more permanent. Whatever it is they want to give me, I plan to accept even if I end up with a broken heart later. I never thought I’d be a YOLO girl, but it is true. You only live once. When life gives you your dreams, even just a little happiness, it would be absolutely crazy to say no.
I slide from bed and find the bathroom easily enough. Since I’m already naked, I slip into the shower and wash away the traces of makeup from the night before, and scrub my skin with heavenly-smelling body wash.
There’s a thick terrycloth robe hanging on the back of the door that I shrug on and belt around my waist after drying off. I pad from the room in bare feet and marvel at how at home I feel in their house.
“Liam? Blair?”
“In here,” answer the voices in tandem. Following the voices, I slide open the door that leads to a comfortable family room.
The first thing I notice is the huge tree that dominates the room, decorated in a homey way, rather than designer. It looks and smells like a real tree, like the kind we would have in a real home.
The next thing I see is Liam and Blair sitting on the tweedy sofa near the tree.They’re both wearing Santa hats, which makes me smile.
“Merry Christmas Eve,” I say with a grin as I run over to them. There’s a spot on the couch that looks to be reserved for me, and I snuggle myself between both of them. “I wasn’t expecting to see Santa up so early,” I grin, looking pointedly at the bulge at Liam’s crotch. I reach for it but Liam nudges my hand away.
“But I want--” I pout.
“No way. This is our plan, and you are going to derail it,” Liam says sternly.
“Absolutely no distractions, Chastity.” Blair wags his finger at me.
I sigh dramatically. “You two are no fun.”
“Oh, don’t worry, we’re going to be a lot of fun in just a little while, but we want to talk about something first.” Liam’s voice gets gruff and I realize he’s serious.
“What?” My breath catches in my throat, and I suddenly feel nervous. Are they going to ask me to choose again? Just last night they agreed to share, and if I had to choose, I would have to walk away from both. Which frightens me so much that it nearly destroys me.
“Liam and I did some talking last night, we both came to the conclusion that we don’t want to let you go. That we really are happy to share you.”
“But not like alternating days,” Liam says. “We want all of our time with you, and together.” Liam takes my hand and brings it to his lips, kissing the backs of my fingers. “Do you think that could work?”
He’s asking me? How am I supposed to know? “Um, I’ve never even had a real relationship with one guy, let alone two. I don’t know how it works! But I do like the idea.”
“Do you like it enough to marry us?” asks Blair in a deceptively casual sounding voice.
