“Oh my god,” I gasped, when I caught a look at the ring.
“You like it? I got to help pick it out!” Luke grinned.
“I love it. You guys did good.” I grinned as Marcos slid the ring onto my finger, both of us still kneeling on the floor. I looked at the ring in awe as it sparkled in the light of the room, making my finger look elegant and beautiful. “Perfect.”
Eventually we get to our feet and Nico and Jason sandwich me between them, each taking their turn kissing me. “How will this work?” I asked, feeling overwhelmed.
“On paper, you’ll be married to Marcos, but you’re marrying us. We’ll do our ceremony our way, and then submit the documents to the courthouse for Marcos,” Nico explained.
Tears welled in my eyes again as I looked at him and Jason. “And you two are OK with that? I love all of you, I don’t want you to ever think I don’t.”
“We’re OK with it, Darlin’,” Jason murmured. He kissed my forehead. “For the club, for legal reasons with Luke, we think it should be him.”
“And when I have your children?” I asked.
Jason and Nico grinned sexily. “Then we’ll give them our last name, and you’ll have to have a million hyphens in yours.”
I laughed and nodded. “We’ll figure it out.”

Afterweatedessert,Luke was excited to announce we were going to watch a movie on a projector screen. His enthusiasm was cute, and we settled into the couches while the staff quickly and efficiently cleared and broke down the table and chairs, moving things out of the lounge as a large screen lowered from the ceiling at the end of the Yacht, blocking the back glass wall.
The lights dimmed and Luke settled in between Marcos and I, his face set into a permanent grin. I knew how much this meant to him, that his parents were going to be together—be married.While he never voiced it, I knew he felt different from the kids at school because he grew up without a father.
Being in Mourningside the last ten months had really changed everything for not just Luke, but me too. Life was finally coming full circle, and I felt like I was finally healing from all the trauma I’ve endured over the years, not just my recent captivity with Hillcrest. I didn’t allow myself to dwell on the negative thoughts. I just focused on the bright future we had ahead of us.
When the movie ended around eight p.m., Luke was already half asleep on the couch. We had a big day and I knew he was exhausted from all that fishing. I didn’t bother to tell him how early it was still when I suggested he get ready for bed. He simply nodded and went down the stairs to the stateroom.
“I hope you’re not planning on turning in early, Darlin’,” Jason murmured into my ear, his voice low. It sent shivers down my spine. His voice always lured me in and turned me on. It made me want to submit and do anything he said.
“Wouldn’t dream of it, sir.” I kissed him sensually, opening my mouth as his hand came up to tilt my head. He deepened the kiss, making me moan.
“Mom!” Luke called from the stairs.
“Coming!” I called back to him.
“Not yet, but you will be soon,” Jason growled and nipped at my lower lip.
I whimpered, my hands clinging to his dress shirt.
“Come on, Mi Vida.” Marcos patted my thigh. “Let’s put our son to bed.”
I uncurled from the couch and got up. I swayed, slightly tipsy and grabbed Marcos’s hand as we went downstairs. Luke was already brushing his teeth, so we went into his stateroom and turned down the bed and pulled out his PJs. “I’ll give him those, you go slip into something more comfortable. Nico laidsomething out for you.” Marcos murmured the words against my lips before he kissed me soundly.
“Yes, sir.” I grinned and walked away.
In my stateroom, I slipped off the heels I’d been wearing and sighed as my feet relaxed on the plush carpet. Looking at the lingerie on the bed, I smirked and shook my head. Nico and his need to dress me like his little doll. There was a black see-through baby doll nightie, with a silk robe. It was sexy as hell and I would come back to put it on after I tucked Luke in for the night.
Hearing him leave the bathroom, done brushing his teeth, I left my room and walked down the short hall to his. He was already in the PJs Marcos had given him and was climbing into bed. Marcos stood next to the bed, ready to tuck him in once he was settled. I stood in the doorway with a smile on my face as I took in the simple domestic scene. It warmed my heart see Marcos be a father. He was such a natural at it and Luke adored him.
“Night, buddy,” Marcos said, pulling the covers up around him.
“Night dad, love you,” Luke murmured sleepily.
Marcos hugged him tight and then stood up and stepped out of the way so I could move forward. I smiled and walked over to Luke, leaning down to hug him tightly. “Love you, baby. Sleep tight.”
“Love you too, mom. You liked your surprise?”
