The twins had managed to get the delivery guy to pack and unload everything into my new condo. I was currently on the highest floor, which had only three rooms—one exclusively mine and the others for the twins.

I noticed that there weren't many employees around whom I had seen at work, but I decided to brush it aside.

My room was situated between the two, and I was absolutely amazed by the beautiful view before me. Apart from my office, this was the second most beautiful thing I'd ever seen, with a glass view.

As I admired the scenery, Hayden's voice caught me off guard.

"How are you liking your condo thus far?" he asked. Seeing the twins wearing casual clothing was something I'd never imagined, even if it's just been a few days working with them. They were so workaholic that I imagined them sleeping in their suits. Luckily, I was also wearing proper clothing; I had a bad habit of walking around not properly clothed, and he would've probably been disgusted to see me naked.

"I love it!" I showed him my excitement.

"This is only the beginning, love. Enjoy it. There's a lot more you'll come to experience working for us; this is only the tip of the iceberg," Hunter said, walking into my room as well with a bottle of wine in his hand.

I didn't miss the word "love" as he spoke to me. As if realizing my dilemma, Hayden spoke up.

"That's how we address others whom we consider to be close associates of ours and loved ones. There's no need to jump to conclusions," he reassured me.

I nodded my head, although it felt quite weird since we had only known each other for a few days, except for that night.

"What's the occasion for?" I pointed to the glass in his hand.

I didn't want to drink, remembering what had happened the night before when I had too much to drink.

"It's just to celebrate you joining our company. We'd normally do this for our new employees. Other department heads would do this for their new staff members, but you work for us, and as you can see, there was much work that needed to be done. Now seems to be a good time," Hayden explained.

"Thank you, but you two go ahead and drink without me. I'll be fine," I told them.

"The wine is for you, Lily. There's no need for us to drink it without you. It's your celebration, of course," Hunter spoke, but I wasn't having it.

"I'd rather not, and I am happy for everything that both of you have granted me thus far, but I have bad experiences whenever I drink. I apologize, but I just can't," I told him.

"Apology accepted, but the wine is yours to use at your disposal whenever you please," Hunter said, placing the bottle on the table.

Hayden's question caught me off guard, and I couldn't help but feel a rush of embarrassment as his smirk hinted at a mischievous undertone. Meanwhile, Hunter's intense gaze seemed to penetrate straight through me, making me squirm uncomfortably under their scrutiny.

I blushed furiously, feeling as if my secret was laid bare before them. "I'd rather not say," I murmured, hoping to deflect their curiosity.

"You seem to be keeping a lot of secrets from us, Lily. Hopefully, soon you'll be comfortable enough to open up to us and share all of your... juices," Hayden's words trailed off, his suggestive tone causing my eyes to widen in disbelief.

Was I hearing right? Did he just imply what I think he did?

Quickly recovering, Hunter clarified, "What my brother means is juicy stories. But we understand that you're not comfortable, so it's fine."

Relieved by the clarification, I nodded in agreement, though a lingering sense of intrigue remained.

"There's just one other thing," I began, eager to change the subject. "If Olivia is your assistant, then why isn't she living here with us as well?" I questioned, a hint of curiosity tingeing my tone.

Hayden's explanation about Olivia's absence from the condo shed some light on the situation, though the mention of her obsession and subsequent relocation to another company apartment piqued my curiosity further. I made a mental note to tread carefully around Olivia, mindful not to inadvertently offend her.

I resumed unpacking my belongings, Hayden's unexpected question about Dillon caught me off guard. My phone, which had been vibrating, was now in his hand, the notification ceased.

"He's no one, sir," I replied, a hint of defensiveness creeping into my tone.

Hunter interjected gently, "There's no need to be formal, Lily. We're not in the office. You can just call us by our names."

Embarrassed by my formality, I sheepishly nodded. "Sorry, I'm just not used to the two of you outside of work."

Hunter offered reassurance, "Well, I'm a hundred percent sure you'll be getting used to us sooner than you think."

Hayden's subsequent comment, however, left me speechless. "We'll always be inside you to use at our disposal. You'll soon be on top of us as we scream you orders and boss you around," he said bluntly, his words sending a flush of heat to my cheeks.

Wait, what did he just say?

Struggling to compose myself, I blushed furiously, a nervous smile gracing my lips. "My brother means you'll be giving us orders soon," Hunter clarified, though his mischievous smile hinted at a deeper meaning behind his words. Despite my discomfort, I chose to brush off their remarks, determined to maintain a professional demeanor in the face of their suggestive banter.

"I must be thinking too much into it. Was my mind smutty, or did his words sound smutty?"

"I wish—me bossing two billionaires around? What could there be for me to teach the Steele businessmen? I think you two have passed the stages of learning," I smiled sheepishly while blushing.

I just could not for the life of me stop blushing.

"I'll bet you a drink in the coming future you'll be doing exactly as I've stated?" Hayden stated.

"Deal." I had no doubt I would not be bossing those two around. I might be smart, but I'm definitely not a genius, or I'd be rich.

"A human's capacity to learn can never end. Each day we learn something new. We take advice as well, and more than ever, we listen to those that are at the bottom, which makes up a percentage of why we're successful," Hunter said, which he did have a point.

I went back to my packing. "Why do you ask, Lily?" I was surprised to see Hayden answering my phone, to my utter shock, making me run to him to take my phone. Another big surprise was Hunter grabbing hold of me and pinning my back to his chest.

My bottom basically kept grinding on his rear end because of how he held onto my waist and pulled me to him. This position we were in now was making me blush completely, as the last time we were in this position, we had sex.

Were my bosses this hands-on?

"Give me the phone." I tried taking it away from him but ended up only grinding on Hunter.

His hand held onto me tightly and securely. My body felt good in his arms; it felt as though time had stopped, as I could feel his succulent heat at the nape of my neck, sending my poor body into a heated frenzy for the billionaire who had taken my virginity.

By this time, Hayden had already told Dillon off and hung up the phone. I wasn't yet ready to forgive Dillon. He left me at the club, and I ended up sleeping with a stranger at the time when he promised to stay with me after begging me to go with him.

Suddenly, Hunter let me go, and I took my phone from Hayden's hand, not missing the spark I felt as my hand brushed against his.

"Why did you do that?" I questioned his actions.

"You said Dillon was no one, yet he kept on calling. I just wanted to make sure he was not harassing you," he explained.

"Well, don't. I may work for both of you, but at the end of the day, I'm not your concern," I told the two.

Hopefully, I didn't come off as rude, and they end up firing me.

"You're our concern from now on, Lily, whether you like it or not. If anything happens to you, that's on our hands. You work for us now, so you're our responsibility, whether you like it or not, love," Hunter responded, and I was taken aback by his and Hayden's sudden change in demeanor.

I’m confused, what was the question Hayden asked about Dillon? There seems to be a cutoff of info/explanation before the paragraph about her reaction. Also about the explanation of Olivia; where is it? Maybe just an app issue?

    The sun had long dipped beneath the horizon by the time they returned to the villa. Lily walked barefoot up the stone path, her skin still tingling from the waterfall, her lips bruised from too many kisses to count. Her sundress clung to her damp curves, and every time one of the men brushed behind her, her breath stopped.The door clicked shut behind them.Hunter's hands were on her hips first. He pulled her gently backward, so her spine met his chest, and let his lips graze her neck."Have I ever told you how beautiful you looked?" he murmured, to Lily for about the hundred time since they woke up together. "Every smile. Every wet inch of you under that waterfall."Hayden appeared in front of her, shirtless now, towel slung low on his hips. He reached out, fingers brushing her collarbone. "Do you know what it did to us? Watching you like that? Free."Hunter's hands slid around her waist, down, until he was palming her thighs. "Take it off," he said, voice low. "Slowly."Lily's hands

    The first thing Lily noticed was warmth, wrapped around her like sunlight itself. Sheets tangled around her legs, the faint scent of vanilla and cedarwood clinging to the linen, and Hayden's chest rising beneath her cheek in a slow, steady rhythm.Hunter's hand was at her waist, fingers splayed possessively, his body curved against her back like a second blanket. She didn't want to move. Didn't need to."Is she awake yet?" Hunter murmured, voice still heavy with sleep, lips brushing the curve of her neck."Hmm," Lily mumbled, eyes still closed. "Barely."Hayden's hand slid into her hair, gentle. "You look wrecked. In the best way.""I wonder why," she said dryly, earning a low chuckle from both men."You're blaming us?" Hunter's teeth grazed her shoulder. "You begged for more. Twice.""Once," she corrected.Hayden kissed the top of her head. "No, love. That second time counted. You said 'don't stop,' and we took it seriously."A groan escaped her lips, more flustered than annoyed. She

    Lily's Wedding DayThe wedding wasn't in a grand cathedral or some fancy garden estate. No. It was better.It was a private beach along the coast that Hunter found months ago, quiet, peaceful, with the softest sand and the bluest sky you could ever imagine.Where Hayden and Hunter proposed to me. And now, it would become the place where I said yes to forever.The setup was intimate and breathtaking. Rows of white wooden chairs lined the beach, filled with close family and friends, everyone who mattered.White roses and eucalyptus framed the path that led to a driftwood arch draped in flowing ivory fabric. The air was light with salt and sea breeze, the waves behind the altar dancing in perfect rhythm.I stood just behind the little changing tent, the wind teasing my veil. My heart thudded beneath the silk bodice of my dress. It was fitted and elegant, not too grand, but enough to make me feel like the most beautiful woman alive.My mother stood beside me, misty-eyed and proud. She tuc

    "Hello my baby Daniel," I cooed using my nose to play with his little one."And who's Nathaniel's favorite parent in the whole wide world?" I gushed at both my baby boys.Since having my twins I thought it would be hectic from now compared to what I've read and been told but having my parents around made it a breeze. I didn't have to call to get help with my children but this wasn't the case with my husband's.I was taking my sweet little munchkins to go on a little road trip since there father's have been dicks lately and I wanted them to see that I was passed playing games with them.It's been seven months since I've had the twins, yet both men thought that I was only meant to stay at home and be a parent. Nothing was wrong with it but they were taking it to a whole nother level.Plus there was hardly anything to do at home with my parents around, if my twins cried they'd be the first ones there, they'd be the last ones to rock them to sleep, whenever my babies woke up in the morning

    …That same day…“Here,” Mom said, handing me a plate stacked high with food.“Thanks, but I already ate,” I replied, barely glancing up from my laptop as I continued working on a report.“It’s been two hours since we got here, and not once have I seen you put a single thing in that mouth besides words. Are you trying to starve my grandbabies?” Mom scolded dramatically, placing a hand on her hip.I let out a sigh and gave her an eye roll. “Hayden made me a buffet-sized breakfast this morning, Mom. Eggs, pancakes, avocado toast, fruits, you name it. If I eat any more, it won’t be nurturing, it’ll be overfeeding. You don’t want me to hurt your precious grandbabies with too much food, do you?”Mom scoffed, clearly unconvinced but also unwilling to argue. “Fine,” she said with a dramatic toss of her head. “But in exactly one hour, you’re eating something again whether you like it or not.”She stalked off with the plate, muttering under her breath about stubborn pregnant women.Just when I

    I was placed lovingly down on our bed, the soft sheets welcoming me as if they too knew I needed rest. My husbands continued fussing with the lighting in the room, adjusting the curtains and fluffing pillows, all for the perfect shot of me, and more specifically, my growing stomach. The slight curve was becoming more pronounced, a gentle swell that reminded me with every glance that I was carrying two little lives.Click. Click."Do you have to take a picture every single day?" I groaned, covering my face with a throw pillow. “I swear, you two are worse than paparazzi.”"We’re documenting the miracle," Hunter said smoothly, crouching near the bed to get a better angle."Yeah," Hayden added with a grin. "And let’s be honest, you look hot pregnant."I rolled my eyes at them both. Every day it was like this: photos, videos, little love notes tucked between my vitamins. I knew they meant well, but sometimes I missed the normalcy of the office, the light banter between meetings, even Emily
