“Or what?” I ask, batting my eyelashes. “You gonna punish me?”

“You’d like that.”

“Maybe.” I shrug.

Declan groans, flopping down on the bed. “Now my dick is hard.”

“Sorry to break it to you, babe, but it was already hard,” I chuckle, getting off the bed to go over to his dresser.

“Yeah, but that was morning wood. This is for a whole new reason.”

“I can help with that,” Preston purrs.

“No.” I laugh, tossing Declan a change of clothes. “Get that sexy ass to the bathroom and shower. We’re going out.”

“We are?” Declan asks, slipping on some sleep pants. “Where?”

“No idea. Let’s start with coffee and breakfast and go from there. Doesn’t matter to me, I just want to hang out with you two. Just the three of us.” I’d invite Grayson, but he’s out with his dad today.

Preston and Declan look at one another for a moment. “You do?” Preston looks at me with surprise.

“Yes, you silly, silly boys.” I laugh. “Why wouldn’t I want to? You're my boyfriends. That's the kind of thing we do together. Duh. I know this is all new to you.” I pat Preston on the shoulder in mock sympathy. “But that's okay, we’ll teach you, won’t we, babe?” I look to Declan.

He smiles. “Yeah. We will.”

“What about your husband?" Preston grumbles, but there’s no heat behind it. It’s going to take some time for them all to get used to this, so I can’t be mad.

“He’s working. And I don’t give a shit about what he thinks. He has to share me with you, and he knows it. I meant what I said. Nothing will change.” I pause and shake my head. “Okay, that's a lie. A lot is going to change, but I think it’s for the better. No, I don’t have everything figured out yet with life outside our little family, but I’ll deal with that when the time comes. Fornow, I just want to enjoy the rest of this break with my guys and be happy for once.”

All my friends have gone on vacations with their families, and honestly, I’m glad. I’d feel bad about giving the guys all my free time before school starts back up, but they deserve it, and we all need it.

Doesn’t mean they haven't been blowing up my phone, demanding to know every little detail. I’ve been keeping it vague. I promised to talk in person and fill them in on everything they want to know.

“Family, huh?” Preston eyes me warily.

“Yes.” I laugh. “Get used to it, babe. We’re a family. Your family. And you're stuck with us. And that goes for Collin’s mom, my mom, and Grayson’s dad.” I shrug.

Preston’s jaw clenches, and he looks away. I give him that moment because I know he’s not used to people being there for him and on his side. But he has us now.

The guys go shower, taking longer than they should. I’m not stupid, and I know they’re probably having sex or something along those lines. I’m happy for them. This is all new and exciting for them. And I know Declan has been wanting this for so long.

It makes my damn heart so full.

While I wait, I clean up Declan's bed, changing the sheets and laughing because dear god, there‘s so much cum.

I’m a little sad I missed all the fun.

After they get back and are fully dressed, we hop into Declan’s car and head to the cafe down the street.

“Guess news spreads fast around here,” I mutter against my cup before taking a sip.

“Ignore them.” Preston shoots the group of people in the corner a glare, making them quickly look away before bringinghis attention back to me. “It’s not like they haven’t seen you with us before. You’ve spent most of the school year with us.”

“Yeah.” I stare at the cup. “But it’s different now.” I sigh heavily before looking up at the two of them. “I have no idea how things are going to be once we get back to school.”

“Collin isn’t in trouble?” Declan asks. “You know, for marrying a student.”

“Yeah, right,” Preston snorts. “His mommy owns the school, and he’s richer than everyone else there. No one is going to bat an eye. The most Carol will do is make sure Sadie sees the other guidance counselor and isn’t enrolled in any of his future classes.”
