6 Mountain Brothers for Christmas

“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?”

“Well, first, it starts with Rowan talking to one of the best real estate professionals I know,” I said.

“Nope,” Rowan said. “Not a fucking chance. I’m not calling that woman up on my holiday.”

“It was a few days,” Ethan said. “How bad could it have gone?”

“She almost burned my kitchen down when she picked my lock, snuck in, and burned dinner!” Rowan exclaimed.
