We’d moved into our new home six months ago, when Rhett started handing over the Townsend Community to the team he’d hired, spearhead by Tess. It was a five-story terrace, which gave us all our own bedrooms—allowing us each our privacy and individual space—as well as a top-levelfuck padfor all the kinky sex fun a woman could get up to with her fourveryenthusiastic lovers.
We’d hired an incredible interior decorator named Hank, who’d absolutely nailed our vision, and the house had quickly becomehome. There had been no debate when it came to leaving Siena and Naples. Those cities held so much darkness for us, and that poisonous residue had no place in our happily ever after. We’d been unanimous on that.
But I’d been waiting forthisnight,thisconcert, which marked the first official moment of our futures, to take this next big step.
“Are you gonna tell us what’s got you all squirrelly, Prickles?” Grayson drawled as we climbed out of our limo. “You look like you’ve got a secret.”
I couldn’t wipe the grin from my face. “I do.”
“Well, we’re dying to know…” Rhett prompted, but I just blew him a kiss and skipped up our front stairs. He caught up to me as I unlocked the door with the thumbprint scanner we’d had installed, and kissed my neck as I keyed in the alarm codes. We’d learned our lesson about securing our safe space.
“I’m nervous,” I admitted in a whisper, leading the guys into the foyer of our cozy, beautiful home.
“Why?” Jace asked suspiciously, slipping out of his leather jacket and hanging it on a coat hook.
I shrugged. “Because… this is a big deal. And I feel weirdly like I’m flipping gender roles by asking…” Fuck, I’d already said too much. My face flaming, I hurried past the stairs to a door whichusedto lead to a storage cavity beneath the stairs.
“So…” I paused with my hand on the knob, turning to face the four of them. “I’ve been working on a surprise for you all.”
“For us?” Angelo asked, tilting his head in question.
I nodded. “Well, forus. All of us. I thought…” I trailed off, blowing a long breath with nervous energy. “Screw it, I’ll just show you.”
Before I could pussy out, I twisted the doorhandle and pushed the door open. Instead of revealing a storage closet, it revealed a newly constructed set of stairs leading down. I flicked on the lights, then stood aside for them to enter.
“Why do I feel like Alice heading down the rabbit hole?” Rhett teased, brushing a kiss over my lips as he passed. I took up the rear, watching for their reactions as they reached the bottom. There was another door they needed to pass through, then it opened up into a huge space.
“Holy shit,” Jace breathed when I flipped the switch to light up the room. “Thisis what you’ve been so sneaky about these last few weeks?”
I grinned, casting my eyes around the newly completed recording studio. “Yup.”
“This is so cool,” Rhett enthused, running his finger over the neonBellerose Musicsign hanging on the wall, while Angelo and Grayson checked out all the sound mixing decks. “Are we next door right now?”
I nodded again. “Yup. I bought the building a couple of months ago. It’s going to be the newBellerose Musicheadquarters, but this was the first area we renovated.” Filled with nervous excitement, I switched on the lights inside the recording booth and held my breath.
“Rose, baby,” Jace purred in my ear, his hands gripping my hips from behind as we looked through the glass. “Is there something you wanted to say?”
I bit my lip, my cheeks hot. The inside of the recording booth was set up with a bed, decked out in lush pillows and bedding and scattered with rose petals. Fairy lights decorated the ceiling, making it seem like twinkling stars.
Taking his hand in mine, I pushed open the door from the sound booth and crossed over to the bed, where I pushed him to sit, then indicated for the other guys to join him on the bed. They all did as directed, watching me with varying degrees of confusion and curiosity.
My heart raced, and I drew a deep breath as I took it all in. It was perfect.Theywere perfect.
“Guys… I have something I’ve been wanting to ask you all for a really long time, but we’ve all beenso busylately that I just kept waiting for the perfect moment. But then I realized I needed tomakeour moment. And I don’t think I could think of any more perfect one than this, after your MSGdebut as thenewBellerose under our own record label, in our very own recording studio.” I wet my lips, the excitement nearly bringing tears to my eyes. “I know it’s something we’ve kind of joked about before, but I can’t get it out of my head and… I just know I’m ready. We’re ready.”
Grayson leaned forward, his dark gaze intense. “Ready for what, Prickles?”
The unquestionable love and adoration in his gaze gave me the boost I needed, and I sank slowly to my knees on the carpeted floor in front of them. My boys.
“Will you…”Oh shit, was I brave enough to really ask for what I wanted?Yes. Yes, I was. “Guys. Will you… try triple penetration with me?”
The stunned looks on their faces said I’d taken them all by surprise, and a flash of panic zapped through me as I questioned if maybe I was taking it a step too far. But then Rhett whooped a laugh and scooped me up off the floor, dragging me onto the big bed with all of them.
“I thought you’d never fucking ask, Thorn! Yes. Fuck yes. Wait, are we talking double ass or double vag? Because I don’t want you to get hurt, and if—”
“Not double ass,” Angelo snapped, scowling. “That could damage her, and we have to be on a long-haul flight tomorrow.”
“I’m cool with double in the pussy,” Jace piped up, nodding enthusiastically. “Who do you want where, Rose? You look like you have it all planned out.” His grin went sly as he tipped his head to the pump bottle of lube strategically placed beside the bed.
