“You didn’t,” Tati breathed. “You guys fucking didn’t.”
With their toes buried in the soft grass of the wide lawn that extended down a gentle slope behind the house, William didn’t need to look over at Atticus to know that he was smiling.
“It is just a start. If there are any changes or additions you would like to make, just say the word. You should have everything you ever dreamed of, love,” Atticus said softly.
William heard Tati exhale slowly. “Including you?”
The sounds of the forest around them faded as William tried to hold his reaction at bay.Had she…had she truly said…could she possibly mean…
“You are going to have to be more clear than that, Tatiana.” Leave the clarification to Atticus, bless his eternal soul.
William was already staring down at her when she turned to him, her brown eyes holding so much hope. “What if my dreams have grown to include the two of you?”
Reaching a hand up, William rubbed his thumb over the soft curve of her cheek. “We meant what we said, Tink. We want you and are standing here ready to give you as much or as little as you want from us.”
A tug of her hand had Atticus circling around to stand closer, the three of them forming a tight circle. Her chin tilted up, unhurried as she made sure to share a prolonged moment of eye-contact with each of them. Her expression was determined, earnest, and, if William wasn’t mistaken, hungry.
“I’m in,” she said, her voice strong. She reached both hands up, tangling in each of their shirts. With a sharp tug, both men were pulled down toward her, their faces – William’s beard and Atticus’ clean shaven cheek – pressed against each other. “I want you here with me. In my bed, in my kitchen, and in my home. I want to watch you love each other. I want to learn to love each of you together and apart. I want so much that I feel like I might explode with all of the wanting.” She paused to take a breath. “But we have an eternity, right?”
William felt Atticus’ nod against his skin. “And how should we celebrate the beginning of this eternity together, Tatiana?”
Her lips turned up into a wicked smirk. “I believe I was promised some, you know…” She wiggled her ass back and forth.
Fuck, she was too sweet. William laughed, but Atticus leaned forward and nipped at her full lower lip. “Use your words, darling.”
Pink flooded her cheeks, but it wasn’t the flush of embarrassment. No, their girl was turned on and ready to play. “Ass play,” she whispered, her tone teasing. “Butt stuff.”
William couldn’t contain his snort, doubling over and burying his face in the crook of Tati’s soft neck. Over the sound of his own laughter, he caught the sound of Atticus voicing a low, chuckling promise.
“Be careful what you wish for, darling. We have nothing but time.”
