“I’m not the one you need to thank. It's the young man here who made the call and this wonderful young lady stitched up the most vital wound. I just did the rest.” he shrugs and my eyes widen at the news. These two beautiful beings saved my life? My heart squeezes in my chest and butterflies swim in my belly.How the hell did I get so lucky?“I’ll let you rest. I’m giving you another round of pain meds. You are free to go in a couple of hours.” He says, pushing a syringe into my IV then walking away, leaving us alone. I look between them and tears fall once again from my eyes.
“You both saved me?” I cry out and they softly sit on each side of me resting their heads on my shoulders as their hands slide into mine.
“And I’d do it again, Bluebird. I’m sorry Jake did this to you,” She says as Asher chimes in.
“I promise. He will never hurt you again. I’m sorry I wasn’t there to protect the both of you.” He says softly.
“Its neither of your faults. It’s mine. I should’ve put an end to him a long time ago and I should’ve come to the both of you sooner but I didn’t want to be a burden and I wanted to handle it myself. Great plan huh?” I sigh and they laugh.
“Hey, Ri, look at me.” Asher orders, turning my face to look at him.
“You did what you thought was best. But I’m going to tell you just like I told Little Dove. I’m going to kill him.” He breathes, pressing his soft lips against mine.
“Ash, you–” but he interrupts me with another kiss.
“I can and I will. I have something I need to tell you both.” He says and my eyes widen.
“Wait. Can we do this later? The pain meds are kicking in and I want to be coherent enough to hear this!” I say and he nods which makes Peyton sigh.
“Okay, I can do that for you. But I have a suggestion. Please don’t fight me on it,” he says and I smile.
“Oh god, what is it?” Peyton asks, making me chuckle which causes me to wince a bit.
“Don’t make her laugh. Jesus.” he scolds and we both roll our eyes. “While we were sitting here I started looking for off- campus housing and I found a three bedroom house for us.” he says with a huge smile on his face.
“You what?” I say but he places his finger against my lips.
“I told you not to fight me on this. I think it’s best that we don’t return to the dorms.” he says and my eyes widen.
“ I can’t afford it. I’m not even sure I have a job still.” I say in a panicked tone.
“I didn’t ask either of you for money. So there’s no issue there. Just say yes.” he says and I take a deep breath.
“I don’t kn–”
“Do you want to be with us?” he asks and my head snaps in his direction.
“Of course I do! What the fuck?” I ask and he smiles. Then I turn to Peyton and she brings her hand up to my cheek cupping it.
“Do you see us in your future?” she asks, her eyes looking so hopeful.
“Again, of course I do. I don’t want to be anywhere else or with anyone else.” I say sternly.
“What if I told you, I’m in love with you and have been since the minute I laid eyes on you,” she confesses and once again my heart fills with love as butterflies dance in my stomach.
“I-i love you too–the both of you. So fucking much. In just a short amount of time you both have shown me what true love and happiness is.” I admit and she presses her luscious lips against mine as I slide my tongue into her waiting mouth, moaning at her sweet taste.
“Damn that’s hot.” Asher adds but we don’t stop, we both deepen the kiss, whimpering into each other's mouths. Asher leans over and we pull away only to bring him in. The groan that leaves his mouth as our tongues swirl and dance against each other has me rubbing my thighs together. He pulls away with a grin on his sexy face.
“We need to stop, or else I’m going to have a raging hard on for the rest of the night.” he laughs and I shake my head.
“Trust me, I’m already wet even if my body is screaming at me to just rest. But being around the two of you–”
“Nope, don’t finish that, because I’m not above eating that pussy while you’re in this bed but I don’t want to hurt you.” She whispers and I groan, laying my head back.
“Okay, maybe the two of you need to go sit somewhere else because just the thought of that has me ready to beg for it.” I whine and they both laugh.
“So can I get the house?” He asks and I nod and we both look over to Peyton.
