Declan wrapped his arms around me from behind and finished what Ronan started with my shirt. It whispered over my shoulders and fell to the floor.
Finn kissed my ear. “I’ve been going out of my mind.”
“Same.” I grabbed the band of his pants and tugged. “I’m not sure how much time we have.”
They understood. Sleeping babies were never predictable. Clara might sleep an hour, and she might wake up in fifteen minutes. I hated to rush our first time back together, but I needed them too much to risk a possible interruption.
Clothes came off in a flurry of hands and shaking of feet. Soon enough, we all stood naked in the middle of the living room. I groaned at the sight of all three of them, cocks thick and proud and my entire body going hot and tight with need. “Inside me. Now.”
That was all the instruction they needed to lead me to the couch.
Finn eased me onto the couch with a lingering kiss. Despite my demands, they took their time with me, tasting and touching. Fingers stroked every line of my body until I gasped and shuddered with every breath. I gave myself over to them in a way I never had before. I loved them from the beginning, but today I stopped waiting for the end and lived in the full moment. There was no end.
We were together. Now and forever. No matter what came our way, I would not run again.
Ronan settled between my legs, his cock nudging my entrance. He swept my hair back from my face and braced his weight on one arm, reaching between us to press his thumb to my clit as he entered me. Every delicious inch of him filled me, the familiar stretch and burn almost pushing me over the edge before he even moved. And when he did, when he withdrew and plunged in deeper and just hard enough to make me gasp, I didn’t bother holding back or waiting.
I locked my legs around his waist and bucked my hips to meet him. “I missed you so much. Not just this, even though this is incredible. I missed seeing you. Touching you. I missed the way you smile at me.”
His lips quirked, and a shudder ran down his spine when I dug my nails into his ass and drove him deeper.
“Just like that.” I gave myself over to the sensations rippling through my body. The orgasm built slow, in a series of tingles and gasps.
“So beautiful.” Finn kissed along the side of my neck and cupped my breast. “Enjoy your time with Ronan, love. We’re all going to take our turn with you today.”
My eyes shuttered closed as the sensations threatened to overwhelm me. Ronan deepened his thrusts, bottoming out every single time. His groan matched mine, and we fell over the edge together.

DECLAN
She was home. Nothing had been right in our world without Bree. Having her in my arms was the single most amazing feeling in the world. We’d spent as much time together on the couch as possible, loving and rediscovering Bree. She curled around me and kissed my shoulder. We’d said all we needed to say, and shown her how much we missed her with every caress.
Finally, Bree sat up and pushed her tangled hair over her shoulder. “I’m going to shower.” A light blush covered her cheeks when she reached for her clothes in the floor. “Will you show me the kitchen? Walk me through the next steps?”
“Sure.” I helped gather up her clothes and followed her into the bathroom.
Clara fussed a bit, the sound not quite an angry or frustrated noise.
Bree hesitated in the bathroom door. “I’ll be just a few minutes. Clara should be fine, but you can pick her up if you want.”
My heart jackhammered. My daughter.
Ronan beat me to the bed and scooped Clara into his arms.
Bree chuckled and disappeared into the bathroom, enjoying her shower while Finn, Ronan, and I took turns holding Clara. She watched us with a clear gaze far too discerning for a tiny baby. Probably me projecting onto her, but when she curled her fingers around mine and held on tight, I lost what was left of my heart.
Bree stood in the bedroom beside us. I hadn’t heard her leave the bathroom or cross the room. She smiled that bright, incredible smile and grazed Clara’s cheek with the tip of her finger. “Finn, are you and Ronan comfortable up here with Clara? If she fusses too much, you can bring her to me.”
“We’re fine, aren’t we, baby girl.” Finn took Clara from me and kissed the top of her head before he settled her in the crook of his arm. “You go do what you need to do. We’re going to get acquainted with our daughter.”
“Thank you.” Bree blinked quickly and squeezed Finn’s arm, then kissed his cheek. She did the same with Ronan, then took my hand on her way to the door. “Don’t worry. You’ll have plenty of time with her too.”
We walked together into the kitchen. I stopped just inside and let her take a good, long look at the damage before I began my explanation of how it happened and just what all had been damaged. “There’s no way we can cook anything in here until it’s fixed, but you have time to figure out what you want to do. The insurance adjuster needs to come out and do his assessment so he can give you an estimate on how much they’ll give you toward the damage.”
Bree walked a slow trek around the space. Her fingertips pressed into her lips, and she tucked her other arm around her waist. “I didn’t think it was this bad.”
“It looks a bit worse than it is, but it’s still in rough shape.” I wouldn’t sugar coat it for her. Seeing her here again did my heart good. I hadn’t slept a full night since the day she left. It was like I’d lived on the precipice of doom without her, the need for her seizing my lungs until I could barely even breathe.
