“I’m sure the organizers will find a method. He probably isn’t really even a Sanctum member, and somehow got through their screening processes. What a loser,” he says while shaking his head with disgust. With that, I turn to our girl again.
“Do you want to join the party again? I assume not, seeing what’s just happened.”
Corrie shakes her head, her breath hitching. “I’m so sorry, but I just can’t. I know how disappointing this is because we traveled all the way from Wyoming for this, but I just … well, I’m don’t think I can handle it tonight.”
I stroke her brown curls, humming.
“That’s okay. Why don’t we go back to our hotel room, then?”
She nods, her cheek pressed against my chest.
“That would be nice.”
But then, Cam bends to press a kiss to her cheek.
“We love you, Corrie,” he says in a hoarse voice. “If anything had happened to you, we would never have forgiven ourselves.”
Corrie pauses, her eyes flickering first to Cameron, and then me.
“Do you mean it? Do you really love me?” she asks in a low voice.
I nod, pulling her into my arms once more. “Of course we do, sweetheart. You’re our entire world and even though I wasn’t sure about this relationship in the beginning, it’s become my life. It’s everything I’ve always wanted, and more too.”
Cam nods, joining in.
“We worship the ground you walk on, honey, in case you can’t tell. You had to have known after these last few months, right? We never leave your side and can barely stomach having you out of sight.”
But Corrie shakes her head.
“I could feel your love but I guess I didn’t want to get my hopes up because I love you too, Cameron and Justin,” she breathes as tears spring to her eyes. “More than life itself, and I’m so happy when I’m with you.”
With that, we murmur more phrases of adoration to our woman before escorting her from the party. Although we didn’t get to enjoy Sanctum this time, I know we’ll be back. After all, we can’t let one bad apple spoil the bushel when it’s clear that we would have enjoyed our experience here, given more normal circumstances.
But this can still be a night to remember. As we get into the elevator, I hold tight to our woman and Cam does the same. He presses kisses of adoration to her curls and murmurs how brave, sweet and beautiful she is. Then, Cam fishes into his pocket and comes back out with a length of rope.
“Is that the one that was tied around my neck?” Corrie asks, her eyes wide. “Oh no, I can’t.”
Cam nods.
“We won’t, baby girl,” he growls while pressing a sweet kiss to her cheek. “Not tonight at least because tonight, you deserve a luxurious bubble bath as Justin and I shampoo your hair. But sometime in the future, will you let us use the rope on you? It could be fun.”
Our girl bites her lips as her eyes go wide, but then she nods and my heart swells with love. After all, this is what we adore about Corrie McNeil the most. Her sassy ways, her feisty nature, and most of all, her sheer grit. Our woman won’t be defeated no matter the circumstances, and her bravery and courage touch my heart. After all, our girl never meant to become a party toy for two men. But Corrie excels at everything she sets her mind to, and now, the party can continue while bathed in love.
Epilogue
Corrie
* * *
I rest my hand on my growing belly. I’m six months along at this point, and I couldn’t be happier because my life has more than just recovered from the assault that happened in NYC. It’s rebounded with a vengeance and I’m utterly satisfied and elated now.
Because one good thing came out of the Sanctum party. When Cameron, Justin, and I got back to our hotel room, we had explosive sex. Thoughts of a bubble bath flew out of my mind, and all I wanted was to be taken by my men in order to blot out what had just happened to me. Of course, Justin and Cam were on board. The men were possessive and very alpha, and reassured me over and over as we made love that no one would ever hurt me again. Of course, there was no condom seeing how eager and desperate we were.
Then, I found out just a few weeks later that I got pregnant that fateful night, and I was nervous at first. The three of us have never talked about children, so what was going to happen? But I figured my men should know right away, so I brought the test to Cameron’s house that evening and shared the news.
To my delight, my boyfriends were over the moon with enthusiasm and immediately started coddling me, including buying a whirlpool foot spa for my swollen feet, as well as making sure that I’m eating for two. Most significant, however, is that both Justin and Cameron put their houses on the market and then put a bid in for a giant ranch on the outskirts of Prescott. Their bid was accepted, and we moved into this palace within a month of finding out I was pregnant. Of course, it doesn’t mean that my men quit their jobs. It just means that they run their businesses from the ranch most days, although they do still go into the office once in a while.
