My Boss and His Friends (The Forbidden Fun)
“Yes, but it startled me even more than usual because there’s something else that I didn’t mention: I think I’m pregnant with your baby, Vance, Sam and Burke,” she chokes out. “I’ve been putting on weight, having weird food cravings, and my nipples have been tender. Does a potential pregnancy change anything? I mean, I know we didn’t expect this and we’ve never talked about it either.”
The three of us stare at one another before dropping heated kisses anywhere we can reach on Jessica’s body.
“No, honey,” I rumble. “This is amazing and a child is the best gift you could give us. When did you find out?”
“We’ve wanted to be fathers for a while now,” adds Vance in a choked voice, his blue eyes looking suspiciously teary. “Please say you’ll go to the doctor immediately.”
“Or I could head to the drugstore right now and pick up a home pregnancy test,” adds Burke in a rush. “In fact, let me just grab my keys.”
But Jessica merely laughs before kissing us.
“No rush because I’ll take a test soon enough. But really, the pregnancy part is when I knew these women were lying. They had a whole spiel about how you guys use fake condoms in order to go bareback, and how you even try to get women pregnant that way. But I knew it was wrong because I’m the one who supplied the condoms that broke, and if anything, I’m the one who wants to get pregnant. This isn’t some scheme on your part. It was just a mistake because I want to be a mommy to your babies, if that’s what you want too, Burke, Vance and Sam,” she says in a soft voice.
“Yes, absolutely,” I rasp before seizing her mouth in a deep kiss. “Nothing could make us happier.”
Burke and Vance make their thoughts known as well.
“We adore you, baby girl, and we only hope you love us half as much because we want to cherish you and make you happy forever,” growls Vance.
She giggles then.
“Well, make that one third as much because there’s three of you, so one of me has to be spread three ways. But it’s just a turn of phrase so it doesn’t matter. What matters is that I adore you more than life itself, Burke, Vance and Sam, and I’m so glad this is over.”
“No honey, our lives are just beginning,” I breathe into her curly hair as Vance and Burke stroke her shoulders and back. “And with a baby on the way, things will only get better, I promise.
After all, Jessica Arroyo was made for love. The curvy girl started out as my buddy’s secretary but she found that deep inside, her emotional and physical reserves were vast and there was more than enough for one man. Instead, her generosity and giving sprit are enough for three gorgeous, growly alpha males, and in the end, it’s me and my friends who are the lucky ones.
Epilogue
Jessica

A month later.
I’ve always loved parties and I’m especially looking forward to this one because I don’t have to plan it. Although I’m still Burke’s PA for today at least, I handed in my two-week notice this past Monday, and I’m looking forward to staying home and enjoying my pregnancy.
After all, I live with my gorgeous boss full time now. We made it official after I terminated my lease, and then to my surprise, Sam and Vance bought adjoining homes so we actually have three houses in a row on this street. We’re going to remodel after the baby’s born to combine all three properties into one huge, enormous castle, and it’s going to be really gigantic and crazy, but fun too.
But for right now, we’re having a coming out party of sorts. The guys want to go public with our relationship, and they figured the best way to do that was to throw a huge bash and to make an announcement to our guests. Of course, some people already know (or at least suspect), but this is going to make things official with a formal announcement and maybe even a speech. I rub my hands over my bulging belly with anticipation and I’m so glad that my friends and family will finally know.
Speaking of which, Mindy sidles over to me.
“Jessica! You look amazing. I’ve missed you at the office.”
I hug her and kiss her cheek. Mindy and I haven’t seen each other in over a month because I’ve been so busy, but she looks incredible tonight in a cream-colored dress and her brown curls swept into a loose chignon.
“Thanks for coming early, otherwise who knows if we’d have time to talk during the party itself. So how is the new job?” I ask with a smile.
Mindy throws me a lopsided smile.
“Well, I’m glad I’ve been promoted to your old position but this is not how I anticipated getting it. I thought we were going to work side-by-side, girlfriend! It would have been fun!”
