ChapterEighteen
Lilly sat on the couch in the living room staring at the fire. Tallin sat beside her, a beer in hand, his body close to hers. Riley sat on the floor, his back to the couch, his arm thrown over her leg.
She laid her head on Tallin’s shoulder, and just absorbed the feeling of being with both of them. They hadn’t spoken about any of this, any of the togetherness that she’d wanted to bring up.
But they had time. She knew they had all the time in the world.
Now she was just enjoying being with her guys—the fire burning brightly as the snow fell fiercely outside. The lights started to flicker, and everyone stopped what they were doing and looked around.
Soon the lights went completely off, the only illumination coming from the flames in front of them.
The wind howled outside, and she could hear the hard pieces of snow and ice slamming against the window with the storm’s acceleration. Suddenly the room became heavy, the air seeming to electrify as she looked between Riley and Tallin, both of whom were staring at her.
She swallowed thickly, watching as Tallin turned and faced her fully, and pulled her over until she was straddling his lap. Tallin looked at Riley, both of them saying something without actually speaking.
“We should talk about all of this, baby,” Tallin said.
“We should,” Riley responded.
She looked at both of them and nodded. “You know I am in love with both of you, and you know I want a relationship with you both.”
They nodded.
“As long as this is what you want, then I just want to move on with our lives … together.”
The silence was thick, and both men looked at each other.
“We want you, Lilly. We want to share you.” They both seemed to say at the same time.
What was about to happen would change everything irrevocably, and she was looking forward to it.
