Chapter 21

My feet were frozen to the spot. I couldn’t make myself go any further, not when faced with going back into Milo’s house. Not because I was scared. No, it was because I felt incredibly stupid for freaking out.

Adrian, Vi, and I had continued talking for at least an hour more before I left, and by the time I slipped into the water, I felt so much better about everything. I was still not one hundred percent sure about having two men, but Aunty Vi was right: Milo and Will loved me. All their actions, everything they’d done, was proof of that.

Still, there was something about having two of them that gave me pause. The logistics of such a relationship sounded exhausting to figure out, and since neither Vi nor Adrian had any experience with polyamory, they had no answers for me. The best they could say was to talk it out with my mates… but how was I supposed to face them after how I left?

I didn’t have the answer. Which was why I stood rooted in the middle of the lane that led up to Milo’s house. Like a dingbat.

“Hiya, sweet cheeks,” a feminine voice greeted me cheerily. I turned just as Ava walked out her front door, making her way over to me with concern written across her face. “Why are you just standing out here? Did my brother do something to piss you off? Do I need to put on my beatin’ hands?”

“They told me we were mates, all three of us, and I ran away,” I replied, my cheeks burning.

“Ah.” She glanced at Milo’s house for a second before looking back at me, her expression going from concerned to determined. “Why don’t you come in and tell Aira and I all about it?”

“But I should probably talk to them…” My voice trailed off as I looked back up the lane.

“They’ll still be there in a few hours while you get your head screwed back on the right way. Come, come.”

Looping her arm in mine, she didn’t give me a chance to waffle as she guided me into her house and settled me on the couch. Aira was sitting on the floor using the coffee table to paint her fingernails. The TV was on, playing a historical drama. It was one of Aira’s favorites, one she’d seen almost a hundred times already, so she didn’t seem to mind when Ava turned the volume way down.

“What’s up?” asked Aira, her brow furrowed.

“Will and Milo are both my mates,” I replied.

“Oh. Oh shit.” She pointed toward the kitchen. “Darling, why don’t you grab that cherry pomegranate wine and some glasses?”

Ava nodded. “Good idea.”

“Wine? But it’s only”—I looked up at the clock on the wall—“one o’clock?”

“Yes, well, we don’t have to work today, and I’m fairly certain this is a big fucking deal, to which you’re accordingly freaking out. Besides, now that you’re one of us, hangovers aren’t nearly as bad!” Ava grinned cheekily at me. “I’ll message my brother and tell him I’ve commandeered you for the evening like I’ve been threatening to.
