“What is this?” she asked.
“It’s your studio,” I said simply. “So you can start up your online channel.”
“It’s about time the world heard your voice,” Blake said.
“And you’ll be able to do it while taking care of your father,” Owen said.
Kyra jumped and threaded her arms around my neck, locking her legs around me. She buried her face into the crook of my neck, smiling and giggling as I held her close to my body.
We did it.
We actually pulled this shit off.
“How in the world am I going to thank you guys?” she asked.
“Say yes,” I said as I set her down. “Say you’ll move in with us.”
“How did all of this happen?” she asked.
“Honestly? I’d been thinking about this after that first night we all shared together. It wouldn’t be fair to anyone in this house if you were forced to choose between us. So, instead of choosing, you can have all of us. If you want.”
She let go of me and walked out of the room, venturing toward the rest of my brothers. Their eyes were glued to her, watching while she smiled at them all. I wanted to know what was running through her head. I wanted to know what she was going to say. I wanted to know if we all had a future with her or if we were going to have to live our lives without her.
“Are you all on board with this?” she asked.
I looked up at my brothers and watched all of them nod. My smile hurt my cheeks and one by one, she started throwing her arms around all of them. Never in my life had my heart been so full of joy and, soon, she came running back to me and gave me one last hug.
“So, I do have a question,” she said.
“Shoot.”
“With all of us, plus my father, there’s eight of us,” she said.
“Yeah,” I said, grinning.
“So, there’s enough rooms for all of us to sleep in?”
“Yes, you can sleep anywhere you want,” I said. “We figured you might want the room on the main floor with your father, but wherever you want to sleep is your choice. Then, if you want your own space, you have it. And if you want to sleep with one of us, you have it.”
She looked up at me and shook her head in disbelief.
“The important thing is, we’ll all be together,” Ethan said.
“You don’t need to worry about going back to the city or returning to your job,” Rowan said.
“You can stay here and take care of your father while focusin’ on what you really want to do,” Blake said.
“We’ll move you and Mark in without either of you lifting a finger,” Chance said.
“All you have to do is agree to stay,” Owen said.
We all had our eyes locked on her while Kyra took deep breaths. There were so many emotions fluttering over her face and some weren’t quite what we were expecting. Her skin was flushing and her hands were trembling and the smile fell from her face.
But before I could do anything, Blake leapt into action.
CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE - BLAKE
I could see that Kyra was struggling. As we all gathered around her and watched her reactions, I could see how she was breaking down. I immediately stepped forward and pulled her into my arms while trying to shoo my other brothers off. This was all a bit too much for her, I could tell, and I didn’t want the overwhelming emotions she was experiencing to turn her off to the entire idea.
