Outside, the guys hoisted the old mattress into the dumpster and dusted off their hands.

Vaughn stared up at the house in the direction of Denise’s room. “She’s taking this hard.”

“Yeah. Perie has a few abandonment issues. She’s a tough girl but losing her aunt has brought everything to the fore,” Flynn explained. “It isn’t just Denise’s death, though, or her dad’s inability to stay put.”

“What else could it be?” Vaughn asked.

“Her mum moving to the UK has been hard on her, and our four-year-rift still has its effects. Everything with you . . .. She never got over you, mate.”

This revelation hit Vaughn hard, knocking out his breath. He knew how he felt about Perie—he always had. He knew how he felt about the man standing in front of him, too. Memories of both of them were what helped him through the toughest times in Afghanistan. Now they were here in this place, together at last.

Vaughn placed his hands on his hips. “Do you think we can make this work between the three of us? Can we all be in one, big, successful relationship?”

Flynn shrugged. “Why not?”

Vaughn sighed. “You know why not . . ..”

Flynn cocked his head to the side, a silent question.

“We’re in a safe little bubble here, Flynn.” Vaughn’s gaze wandered toward the gate at the end of the driveway. “But out in the world, in society, we’re sure to get judged.”

“Fuck society,” Flynn scoffed.

“It’s not as easy as that, and you know it. God help me if anyone tries to hurt Perie because of us.”

The protective glint in Vaughn’s dark eyes was sexy as hell because Flynn felt protective of Perie, too. “I know one thing, Perie can take care of herself. She’s a businesswoman, remember?”

“Even more reason to be careful about this,” Vaughn said.

Flynn cupped Vaughn’s cheek with his hand and whispered, “You’re so sexy when you worry. But don’t.” Flynn kissed Vaughn for a few moments. Vaughn drew Flynn to him, his hands pressing into the small of the blonde man’s back.

“You don’t have to stress about me, Vaughn.”

Vaughn snapped his head in the direction of the young woman. She’d startled the shit out of him. Flynn held him steady when he tried to pull away and placed a lingering kiss on his cheek.

Perie wrapped her arms around both men. “This is fine, more than fine . . . it’s right. We were always supposed to be together like this, we just didn’t realize it before.”

“That was our problem. We were trying to conform,” Flynn added.

With a deep breath, Vaughn initiated a kiss with Flynn this time. When Perie pressed her ear to his chest, he knew he couldn’t disguise the way he was feeling. She was sure to hear how fast his heart was beating. Flynn stroked Perie’s hair as Vaughn kissed her, too.

“This is us,” Perie decided.

“Right. Well then, ’us,’ which one of you wants to come help me sort out my shitbox of a car?” Vaughn asked.
