didn’t audition.”
Mar hits him. “Shut up! Let me have my fantasy!”
He laughs and pulls her closer, while Bobby opens the front door, moonlight pouring in since it’s wintertime and the sun goes down way too fucking early.
Leaning against the counter, I drink a chilled glass of H2O and watch my better halves snuggling, their noses returning to the pages.
With Bobby gone, it’s just us again. My second favorite part of the day is this, when nobody will bother us and we can do whatever we want.
But nothing beats waking up together, Mar sandwiched between us men. We’ve gotten into a groove where she’s always buried in the nook of my neck when I wake up, since I sleep on my back. Behind her, Troy spoons her body and keeps her back warm. She gets cold easily. Not anymore.
I used to think I loved the life of a bachelor. Now I know I was just getting by. Keeping people at arm’s length may have meant little hassle, but it meant little gain, too.
‘Normal’ — we’ll leave that for other people to be bored by.
Life is what you make of it.
We made it our own.
Don’t know what our future holds, or how long we can keep this up. But I’m a happy man with a happy man and an even happier, greedy woman.
The End.
I hope you enjoyed their love story and got to see a new side of Marion.

Thank you for enjoying Cocker Brothers.
I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love.

Chapter Twenty
MARION
My spine straightens as I spot the inseparable Cocker Sisters rounding the bend. That they’d be shopping in Trader Joes today at the same time as I am, and on the only day I’ve managed to get Jack to join Troy and I — to act like normal people who do their own shopping for once — is synchronicity at its most exciting.
I’ve been aching to show off my two hot boyfriends to Samantha, but there hasn’t been the opportunity before now. It’s not like I’d invite her over to our home. Even with her bring-everyone-to-my-hospital-room gesture, she and I will never be those kind of frenemies, hanging out and acting like we love each other when we clearly don’t. The tow-headed blonde and I keep a cool distance except when forced to dance together in a show, which hasn’t happened since the play Logan left town with.
Hell, not just left town.
Logan left the country!
I wonder how she feels about him gone for so long, her best friend traveling the world while she’s stuck in Atlanta where we all grew up. Borrrrrring.
I can’t wait to get out of here!
Sam must feel the same.
Who wouldn’t? Gawd!
It’s not like anyone would purposefully choose to stay here if given the opportunity of a lifetime that was stolen from me, dammit!
Not by her.
I’ll concede that.
No, Samantha Cocker wouldn’t hurt anyone on purpose — too good and kind and angelic and blah blah blah for such a cruel act as the one that befell me.
However, it still stings super bad that Sam became my replacement in the role of a lifetime. Especially after all the years of competition we’ve had, it just adds salt to my still-fresh wound.
In the frozen section today, however, she and her ginger-sister, Lexi, are about to get their minds absolutely blown by the gorgeous men I call mine.
Jack, my sexy beast of a lover and my father’s ex-best-friend, is drool worthy in dark jeans, a black tank top casually tucked in just at the front of his belt buckle, the rest loosely resting on the bump of his perfect ass that only I get to see every day.
Well, me and Troy.
