I giggle because actually, Hunter and Brent have also quit their jobs as blackjack dealers at the Corinthian. They’ve become full-time professional athletes, and their focus and discipline have paid off. Not only have they begun winning races, but their endorsements have also tripled in value, and as a result, we’re building a nice nest egg for our family.
I giggle and kiss them both as we enter the home, taking in the enormous skylights and top of the line cabinetry. There are huge windows showcasing a lagoon-style pool in back, complete with a small patch of grass as well as a humongous stainless steel grill. But then, I turn to my boyfriends.
“We’re definitely going to have to have people over because this house is made for entertaining,” I murmur. “But did I tell you about my friend Sydney?”
My two handsome boyfriends frown.
“No, why? Have we met her before? I don’t remember anyone named Sydney,” Hunter says.
I giggle.
“Silly! She’s also a cocktail waitress at the Corinthian! OMG, have you forgotten? It hasn’t been that long since we worked there.”
Hunter and Brent grin.
“The hotel feels like another lifetime, but tell us honey. How’s your friend?” they invite.
I giggle. “Well, it’s super crazy actually, and to be honest, I shouldn’t be laughing because what happened is serious.”
Hunter shoots me an amused look.
“More serious even than sex cults and your dad going to jail?”
I laugh while shooting him a rueful look.
“Okay, just as serious,” I concede. “But actually, Sydney was on a flight, and the plane was hijacked.”
That causes Hunter and Brent to stare.
“Are you serious? Is she okay?” Brent rasps. “Holy shit.”
I nod.
“She’s fine, actually, and the hijacking was all over the news. But the part the news didn’t share is that Sydney actually stopped the hijacker by having sex with him.”
That makes Brent and Hunter stare even harder.
“You must be kidding,” Brent drawls.
“Holy shit,” Hunter adds, shaking his dark head. “What the fuck? I swear, the world gets crazier and crazier with every moment.”
I nod.
“I know, right? I need to talk with Sydney about it because she must be totally shaken up. But still, sex with a hijacker in order to save a plane full of people? It gives new meaning to ‘taking one for the team,’ not to mention the ‘Mile High Club.’”
The guys shake their heads with wonder, blue eyes amazed.
“Yeah, I guess so,” Brent rasps. “Fuck, what has the world come to?”
“I know, insane, right?” I muse again. “I swear, I feel like the Earth is spinning backwards on its axis, and that soon we’ll be floating through hyperspace because this is all so nuts.”
But Brent and Hunter merely pull me close before pressing kisses to my hair and resting their big hands on my belly.
“Well, no matter what happens, we’re together,” Brent rasps, those blue eyes gleaming. “We love you, Kaci, and you and the child are under our protection.”
“No matter what happens in the world, be it sex cults, jail, or hijackers flying the skies,” adds Hunter in a droll voice. “You are ours, sweet girl, and you’re strong, resilient, and brave. You’ve shown your mettle, honey, and we love you all the more for it.”
With that, the two men kiss me and I lose myself in their warm embrace. After all, I’m the lucky woman who has not one, but a pair of handsome, gorgeous professional athletes to call her lovers. Maybe Hunter, Brent and I started out as a hook-up long ago, but now with so much under our belts, we know that sticking together is the way to be … and we’ll be together forevermore, if Brent and Hunter have their way.
THE END
