Something I never thought I’d ever get.

And here I was, with three men who were ready to burn down the world for me.

Why was I fighting this so much? It’s literally my dream come true.

It’s all too good to be true, and the truth is... I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop, for them to get bored with me and toss me to the side, leaving me heartbroken and shattered into a million pieces... again.

Good things don’t happen to me, never have. So why should this be any different?

Because they’re different. They’re not just any men, Cove. They’re your dark knights, the ones who have owned your heart and soul for the past ten years. Stop living in the past, and take a chance. You deserve this.

But did I?

Chapter Twenty-One

Maverick

If there ever was a perfect woman, it would be my Bunny. The look of surprise on her face when I walked in with all the supplies I picked up for her filled me with pride.

Since what happened between us in the gym, Cove has been a bit cold with me. That didn’t stop me. She can be prickly with me all she wants. She’s still my woman, and I’m still going to take care of her.

I might have been a bit harsh with the no sex rule. But despite how hard it will be for us to hold back, I know it will be worth it.

I meant what I said, when I’m inside Cove, I don’t want anything between us. I want to feel her hot wet heat around my shaft, feel the way her core pulses around me as I pump her full of my seed and watch it spill from her pussy.

I banned my brothers from having her before me because I want it to be fair. I want all of us to have an equal chance at putting our baby inside her.

I know it’s not going to take long before she stops fighting this and realizes we’re who and what she wants.

She’s already starting to come around, I can see it in the way she is with my brothers. The time she spent with them has put a smile on her face.

If my time to bond with her comes with a price, I’ll pay it. I’m just glad that she’s here with us, where she belongs, safe from harm's way.

“How are you feeling?” I ask her.

Her head is tilted back and her eyes are closed while her gorgeous, naked body is submerged under the water.

Opening her eyes, she looks up at me. “A bit better,” she murmurs. “You really did all this for me?”

“I did.” I nod, reaching over to brush some of her hair out of her face.

“Why?” she asks.

A small smile graces my lips. “Because you're mine, Cove. Mine to love, mine to protect, and mine to care for. Plus, you are going through something that I’ll never be able to relate to, but I sure as hell plan on helping you in any way I can. I want to ease any pain or discomfort you might be in.”

Her teeth sink into her bottom lip, her eyes searching mine.

“Why do you have to be like this?” she whispers.

“Like what, beautiful?”

“So damn sweet.” She closes her eyes again, groaning. “How am I supposed to hate you if you’re perfect?”

“I’m not.” My hand moves to cup her face. Her eyes flutter open again. “And you don’t hate me, Cove. You and I both know that. Also, I’m not the perfect one, you are.”

She lets out a laugh of disbelief. “Trust me, I’m far from perfect. I’m fucked in the head. People around me might not see it, but it’s true.”

“You see, that’s what makes you perfect. Maybe not to others, but to my brothers and me, your twisted mind is one of the things we love about you. We love everything that makes you you.”
