Ella grinned and quipped, “Make me, Micah.” That was the wrong thing to say to him. Sauntering around the room, he pointedly ignored Ella and Caedon, as he searched for duct tape. “Damn it,” he cursed when he couldn’t find any. Of course, our venue would be a flower shop that was actually spotless. “They don’t have any tape.”

Returning to stand by Caedon, who’d stopped walking at some point, Micah watched Ella’s eyes grow until he could only see a sliver of the sparkling blue around her pupil. “You wouldn’t.”

“I would,” Micah retorted smugly, “in a heartbeat with a smile on my face.”

Ella scowled but snapped her jaw closed.

“That’s more like it,” Micah ribbed. “Now let’s sit down and talk about this like mature adults.”

Caedon nodded then placed his hand on the back of a still-silent Ella and guided her to the couch. Helping her sit down, he dropped down beside her and heaved one arm around her shoulders. “Sit with us, Micah.”

Smiling, Micah joined the two people he loved most on the couch.

Without thinking, he draped his arm across the back of the cushion behind Ella where Caedon’s already laid. His bare skin touched Caedon’s bare skin, and he sighed softly, so softly that he prayed no one heard him. Glancing around Ella to Caedon who’d already peered over at him, Micah locked their gazes and relished the moment—but only for a second—before he pulled his arm back and instead placed his hand on Ella’s knee.

Micah was tired of beating around the bush with Ella. It hurt enough with Caedon. He just couldn’t bear to do it with her, too.

Giving in, Micah went for broke and blurted out, “I love you, Ella.

And Caedon loves you. Neither one of us is willing to give you up, so we’ve decided to share you.”

“Wow,” Ella breathed then turned her big, blue eyes on him. She batted her lashes with a charming grin. However, Micah sensed a Three Rings and a Rose

storm brewing beneath the surface. When she spoke, he knew he’d been right on target. “That is just what I’ve always wanted to hear. I don’t know what’s better—the part about you two not being willing to give me up or the part where you two decided to share me.” She shook her head, muttering obscenities about bonehead men and baboon asses. “I feel like a fucking doll neither of you want to quit playing with. Assholes. ”

Micah squeezed her knee. “Calm down, Ella. This isn’t a joke.

We’re serious about sharing you.”

Immediately, Ella stopped and eyed Micah. Then she switched to Caedon, and checked him out, too. Finally she shrugged negligently.

“I kind of know you are.”

“Kind of?” Caedon asked.

Ella nodded before she sighed. “You two think you’re going to share me, but you won’t.”

“What do you mean?” Micah inquired, slightly insulted that she thought they were lying to her. “We are going to share you.” Sliding her eyes shut, Ella shook her head sadly. “The two of you were jealous jackasses the whole time we lived together.
