and points at me. “Yeah, because he’ll rat you out if you try.”
“Damn right I will.” But I know I won’t need to. I heard the pain in Liam’s voice that day in the hideaway office when we first had sex after our reunion. The day I regretted going there alone with him, because I…knew.
I knew what would happen, and I knew I’d let it happen. Encourage and welcome it, even.
I’d needed my Master and I’d finally hit the end of my tether.
I’m not sharing him with anyone but Daniel, though.
We eat, and then they help me drag my bags upstairs, just to find…
Daniel stops in the doorway. “You bought a new bed?”
“You said we needed one.” But Liam’s all smiles.
The frame looks similar to the one they had, but it’s now a king-sized bed.
“When the Hell did you have time to—you know what? Never mind. Thank you.” He turns and kisses Liam again. “It’s one less thing for me to take care of.”
“I bought the same mattress we had, only bigger. The one you loved.”
Watching them together leaves me breathless sometimes. In good ways, not bad ones.
Because I see so much of me in Daniel. And I know he’s taken good care of our Master throughout the years. Liam didn’t have to suffer alone for much of that time. I envy the time they’ve had together, but Liam is alive and happy and that means I’m at peace with how this played out.
Now, it’s time for me to repay the favor and take care of both of them, until they can retire.
I really don’t want another job. I don’t need one. The money I inherited from Dad will take care of all three of us for the rest of our lives, and that’s before figuring in Liam’s and Daniel’s salaries and savings. Unlike my father, I don’t have lavish tastes.
Besides, I’ll be living with my men and chipping in to help pay monthly expenses. My job can be taking care of them and making their lives easier.
Showing them, every day, how much I love them.
“One more thing to do before we get naked,” Daniel says. He snaps his fingers at me and points to the floor.
I drop to my knees without hesitation while Liam watches.
From his pocket, Daniel pulls out something but doesn’t let us see what it is. “I was going to do this before he got home,” he tells me with a smirk, “because I wanted it to be a surprise.” He takes my right hand and fastens something around it.
That’s when I realize it’s a stainless steel bracelet almost identical to the one I’m already wearing.
One that had come from his own wrist.
He removes the old one, but then he reaches for my left hand and slides something onto my left ring finger.
My eyes blur with tears as I realize it’s either close or identical to the wedding bands they wear.
Daniel sighs and holds my hand against his chest as he looks down at me. “I think it’s appropriate that it took me about seven years to get to this point. It wasn’t my original goal, but it’s a nice symmetry.” He squeezes my hand. “You’re ours, and we’re yours. No more running, no more fear. Yes, we need to play this close until he’s out of office. But once that happens…” He smiles. “Don’t be shocked if I openly kiss you in public sometimes.”
I nod. “Yes, Sir. Thank you.”
He’s still holding my left hand pressed against his chest with his left hand as he motions Liam over. I can feel Daniel’s heart throbbing under my palm and its steady rhythm soothes me.
Daniel passes his bracelet to Liam. “I’m ready for it again, Master,” he quietly says.
Liam doesn’t hide or brush away his tears as he reverently fastens the day collar around Daniel’s right wrist, then presses Daniel’s hand to his chest much in the same way Daniel’s holding mine.
“I love you, baby,” Liam says, his voice thick with emotion. “And I love you, too, boy.”
“I love you, Master,” I say, and Daniel smiles as he squeezes my hand.
“Love both of you, you stupid fucks.” He throws back his head and sighs. “Gawd. I swear I will kill both of you where you stand if you fuck up like that ever again.”
“Never fucking up like that again, baby,” Liam swears as he pulls him in for a hug. Daniel still doesn’t release my hand. “Life is almost perfect.”
“Almost?”
He smiles down at me. “The day I’m officially
