The warning is clear

Noah's POV

I’ll admit, I wasn’t expecting a text from Henry. ‘Kathrine’s making dinner. Don’t screw it up.’

That’s all he wrote. Nothing else. Typical Henry, straight to the point, no room for questions. I stared at the screen for a second longer, wondering what exactly that meant. Did he think I’d do something to upset her? Did he think I’d hit on her? Did he think… oh, forget it.

About twenty minutes later, there was a light knock on my door. I pulled it open to find Kathrine standing there, looking a little sheepish but also determined. Her sunburn had darkened since earlier, and the redness on her nose and cheeks was hard to ignore. It looked uncomfortable, though she seemed to be holding up fine otherwise.

For a moment, I just waited, giving her the chance to speak. Her big brown eyes flitted to mine briefly before she took a deep breath. It seemed like an effort for her to approach me like this, to be polite, even.

“I picked up some steaks,” she began, her voice soft but clear.

  • Please! Marry Me Again    She is something else

    Henry’s POV"Where do you find the fire for your stories?" I asked, feeling curious. I had never read a romance novel before, but I had seen the covers, bold, suggestive, and practically pulsing with unspoken desires. Paperbacks stacked in market stalls, their glossy designs promising passion, longing, and reckless abandon. But Kathrine? She looked too young, too untouched by the kind of fevered emotions her pages surely held. How did she conjure such raw intimacy with nothing but ink and imagination? Could someone truly write about desire without ever feeling it? The thought of her having that kind of experience made my brain short-circuit. I wasn’t ready to consider it.The moment I brought up her books, her entire demeanor shifted. It was like a wall had slammed down between us, closing off any chance of continuing the conversation. Her face went blank, her expression not fine to look at. Without a word, she stood up abruptly, gathering her dishes with mechanical efficiency. She di

  • Please! Marry Me Again    Imagination

    Kathrine’s povHenry’s hands were softer than I expected. I knew I shouldn’t let him touch me, I could easily put the gel on my sunburn myself. So why did I turn around and let him do it? Maybe I was just curious. Or maybe the sun had fried my brain, making me take risks I shouldn’t. His fingers moving over my burnt skin hurt a little, but it was also... exciting. He was so careful, so focused, yet still respectful. I let him touch my chest, but he never let his hands go lower than my sunburn line. I was impressed and a little disappointed. Because my body was heating up in a way that had nothing to do with the sun.My nipples tightened, expecting to feel his hands slide over them. But it never happened. Instead, he touched my face, and somehow, that was even more intense. If I closed my eyes, I could imagine that he cared about me. That he wasn’t just putting aloe vera on my skin, but that he was stroking my face like I was special to him. But all good things end. I opened my eyes, a

  • Please! Marry Me Again    Unexpected moaning sound

    Noah's POVI sat on the edge of my bed and checked my phone, which I had put on silent during dinner with Kathrine. A long sigh left my lips when I saw the notifications, twenty-three unread messages, seven missed calls, and over forty emails. Whoever said being an entrepreneur was easy had never lived a day in my shoes. There was always something demanding my attention, problems to fix, fires to put out, crises to manage, day and night. Work-life balance? That was just a myth.I scrolled through the messages, answering the urgent ones first. Most were simple updates or minor issues that needed a quick response. But one text made me pause. Tom, the manager of one of our stores, had been rushed to the hospital. The assistant manager had called his wife, who said he’d suffered a stroke and was in the critical unit.A stroke? Tom? That couldn’t be right. He was one of the healthiest people I knew. I watched what he ate, exercised regularly. Hell, he even ran a marathon a few months ago.

  • Please! Marry Me Again    Stay Focused for once

    Kathrine’s POVI slept surprisingly well, my body and mind completely relaxed. When I woke up in the morning, I was still naked under the sheets, but as I rolled over, I was reminded of my mistake from the day before. My shoulders burned, and my face felt stiff. The sun had been merciless, and now I was paying the price. Groaning, I pulled myself out of bed and reached for the bottle of aloe Vera Henry had left on the dresser. I squeezed some onto my palm and gently spread it over my shoulders, wincing at the sting. It didn’t feel nearly as good as when Henry did it. I remembered his hands on my skin, the way he had carefully rubbed the gel in… I shook my head. Focus.The idea of putting on clothes sounded unbearable. If I had a tube top, I would have worn that. But I didn’t, so I carefully pulled on a sports bra, biting my lip as the straps rubbed against my sunburned shoulders. That’s what I get for not using sunscreen properly.At least my legs weren’t too bad. I pulled on some sho

  • Please! Marry Me Again    If you don’t mind

    Noah’s povWe drove across town in silence. Kathrine sat stiffly, only speaking when she had to give me directions. I could’ve easily figured it out on my own, but I figured this way, I might get her to talk, at least a little. I knew I’d messed up somehow, but I had no clue what I had done wrong. I thought about asking, What’s wrong? But I already knew the answer, nothing.Her karate school was on the other side of the railroad tracks, deep in a rough part of town. It seemed like an odd place for a school, but then again, the large warehouse space made sense. Maybe it also helped bring discipline to a neighborhood struggling with crime. Still, the idea of Kathrine coming here alone at night didn’t sit well with me.I pulled into the parking lot behind the building. The place had seen better days, parking meters lined up in front of the spaces, most of them cut down by vandals. The few left standing were dented, tagged with spray paint, their screens cracked and poles bent at odd angl

    Henry’s povI got home just before seven, a slight headache thKathrineng behind my temples. I'd spent too long staring at a screen, and my eyes felt dry and gritty. I opened the door to find Noah lounging on the couch with the remote in hand. The frown on his face didn’t match the action-comedy playing on the large TV."Hey," I said, loosening my tie."Hey," he grumbled in return."What's wrong?"He checked the time on his watch. "Kathrine's not back."I slipped off my shoes and curled my toes into the carpet. "I didn’t know she had a curfew."His frown deepened. "She went to River Street Park."That caught my attention. I straightened up, still holding my shoes. "Why would she go there?"Noah slouched slightly. "She said she wanted to write.""But... Why is it there? That place is a dump."He shrugged, finally turning off the movie he had clearly not been watching. "I had a feeling she needed space, so I didn’t follow her. Damn it, I should’ve gone with her."I pulled out my phone. I

  • Please! Marry Me Again    First kiss

    Henry's POVI don’t know why I ever thought Kathrine was off-limits. The second she pulled back that hood, I was lost. Her eyes locked on mine, and something inside me kept moving. It was like the universe had dropped everything I wanted in a woman right in front of me. Who cares what our parents were doing? I tried to fight it, told myself it was wrong. I even forbade Noah from making a move on her. But a week later, I was waving the white flag. Kathrine wasn’t just an attraction, she was... ours.Her body fit against mine perfectly. It was like we were meant to be close. I could feel her heat, the softness of her chest pressing against me while standing against the car, doing what we haven’t done before. I gave her a moment to pull away, to stop me, but she didn’t. Instead, she placed her hand on my chest, her eyes burning with desire, matching mine.I kissed her. As soon as our lips met, everything else vanished. Her lips were soft, warm, yielding. I was drowning in it, overwhelmed

  • Please! Marry Me Again    He was watching me.

    Kathrine’s POVI barely slept. Every time I closed my eyes, the day played over and over in my mind like a movie I couldn’t turn off. Noah showing up in my grappling class. The terrifying men in the park. Henry rescuing me. An amazing dinner and most of all, the kiss. Or should I say… the kisses.Not that I was some kissing expert, but Henry had single-handedly ruined every other kiss I’d ever had. I never saw it coming, and when our lips finally met, it was explosive. Henry always seemed like the type to play by the rules, rigid, reserved. But the moment he grabbed my hair and took my mouth like he owned it, I knew I had misjudged him. It was toe-curling, heart-stopping, breath-stealing kind of hot. He wasn’t rough enough to hurt me, but there was a quiet dominance in the way he kissed me, like he knew I’d surrender. And the truth was… I did.Which scared me. Had I just crossed a line I couldn't take back? By letting Henry kiss me, I’d opened a door to something I wasn’t sure I was r

  • Please! Marry Me Again    You can't ground me

    Kathrine’s povThey say all good things come to an end. I already had a sense of what was waiting for me at home, judging by the flood of messages I got while my phone was on silent last night and this morning. All I could hope for was that Noah and Henry wouldn’t be around to see the awkward and embarrassing scene that was about to unfold.Part of me wished my mother had gone to church, giving me the chance to slip into the house unnoticed. But when I saw both her car and the professor's still in the garage, I knew luck wasn’t on my side today.I stepped out of the car, stretched my stiff muscles, and braced myself before following Noah into the house. He carried my gym bag while Henry held the packages from the hotel. As we opened the back door, I saw my mother sitting in the living room. She wore a modest dress with a wide collar and a skirt that fell halfway down her calves. Her hair was pulled into a tight bun, and she wasn’t wearing any makeup, making her look older than usual.

    Henry’s povI didn’t want things to feel weird between Kathrine and me the next morning. Not while we were still at the hotel.I woke up early, wrapped up in Kathrine's legs, her hair spilling over the pillow. It was still dark outside, but I knew she’d wake up as soon as the sun peeked over the horizon. For a moment, I just lay there, watching her, amazed at how someone like her had ended up here, with me.Carefully, I slid out of bed, not wanting to disturb her warmth, but I had plans before she woke. She wasn’t usually one for big breakfasts, but last night had been... eventful. If she wasn’t hungry, I definitely was, so nothing would go to waste.I rang the concierge, who sounded half-asleep, and arranged a little surprise. Then, I tidied up the suite, making sure everything looked just right. Once I was satisfied, I settled onto the small couch and waited.Just as I expected, I soon heard soft movements from the bedroom. It couldn’t be Noah, too early, too quiet. I heard the bath

  • Please! Marry Me Again    What is it Princess?

    Noah's POV:“Hey, Noah, a little help?” Henry’s voice broke through the quiet, strained and impatient. “The water’s turning into ice here.”I moved quickly, snatching a towel from the vanity before scooping Kathrine into my arms. She felt light, almost weightless, her body limp but still warm. For a second, I worried she’d completely blacked out, but then she let out a faint murmur and nestled her face into the crook of my neck. I left Henry to deal with the tub, trusting him to drain it and clean up the mess, while I carried Kathrine to the bed. She was my priority now, my responsibility.Laying her down gently, I began to dry her off, the towel moving in slow, careful strokes. She stirred slightly, her lips parting as she mumbled something incoherent. Her hands fumbled weakly for the comforter, trying to pull it over herself. I couldn’t help but smile as I continued to towel her hair, which clung to her skin in damp strands. Her body was a canvas of faint marks, love bites on her ne

  • Please! Marry Me Again    I could handle him

    Kathrine's povI was incredibly sore, to the point where walking seemed impossible. My body had never experienced anything like that before. Slipping into the hot water was pure bliss, and the jets massaging my muscles? Incredible. But when I opened my eyes and looked at Henry, a different kind of ache filled me. His physique was unlike Noah's, taller, slimmer, and with more hair on his chest.I never thought I’d find body hair attractive, but... I liked the way it felt under my fingertips. It was so tempting that I moved closer, sliding over his legs to get near him. Reflecting on our time together so far, it felt like Noah and I had been the focus, while Henry had been overlooked.No one had touched him yet. That didn’t seem fair.My Henry, always so giving, so reserved, so disciplined. Now, all I wanted was to break through that control. For some reason, the thought of pushing his limits thrilled me.My soreness faded as the warm, swirling water worked its magic. "Henry?" I placed

  • Please! Marry Me Again    When do I get to touch you?

    Henry’s PovSeeing Kathrine like that was the most stunning thing I’d ever experienced. It wasn’t just about the physical part, it felt bigger, more meaningful, like it reached a part of me I didn’t even know was there. I won’t lie, I felt a little jealous that Noah was the one to be with her first, even though we’d planned it that way. Noah is calmer and softer than I am, and we wanted her first time to be so good that she’d want to keep going. I didn’t mind sitting back and watching, though. Well, not too much. I barely noticed Noah, my eyes were locked on Kathrine, watching every move, every reaction, every little sound she made. When she started asking for more intensity, I almost couldn’t hold myself together. If she liked it a little wild, then I knew she could handle me. But I could tell she wasn’t ready for me tonight, not after what Noah had just done. I’d have to wait my turn. I was also really proud of her for using her safe word when Noah did something she didn’t lik

  • Please! Marry Me Again    I never thought of this side of me

    Kathrine’s PovHenry and Noah awakened a part of me I didn’t even know was there. Who was this bold, teasing version of myself? Yet, slipping into that role felt as natural as breathing whenever things turned intimate between us. Pushing their buttons, especially Henry’s, gave me a thrill I couldn’t resist.“So, who’s going to take this off me?” I asked, my voice low and teasing, my hands gliding down my body as I held Henry’s gaze. He was the one in charge, the alpha. I thought stripping him of his clothes might have dimmed some of his power, but he still sat there like a king, composed, unshakable. My skin prickled as his eyes roamed over me.“Noah,” Henry said, a slow, confident smile spreading across his face. “You’ll undress her, but not with your hands. Use your teeth.”Noah’s eyes sparkled with excitement. He moved onto the bed, hovering above me on all fours, his body enclosing mine. He leaned down, catching the thin strap of my top between his teeth and tugging it off one

  • Please! Marry Me Again    Which one of you is going to undress me?

    Kathrine's POVMy heart pounded as my gaze darted between Henry, Noah, and the delicate pendant in his hand. A lump formed in my throat.I had never thought about anyone else outside the two of them. Why would I? Henry and Noah were already more than enough. Polyamory meant multiple lovers, sure, I understood that in theory. But in my world, it was just them. Just us. I already had my hands full. So why would I ever look elsewhere?But then, was I ready for a real, committed relationship? I had told myself this was supposed to be light, fun, just an experiment. No strings, no deep emotions, no heartbreak. That way, when these two playboys inevitably moved on, I wouldn’t be left shattered.I should have said no to the necklace. I should have laughed it off, made a joke, or even called for a timeout. But I didn’t. Instead, I stood up, my hands trembling as I brushed aside the paper wrappings. I didn’t say a word. My body moved on instinct as I turned my back to Noah, knelt before him, an

  • Please! Marry Me Again    Speechless

    Kathrine’s POVThe Grand was a fancy hotel on top of the mountain, mostly for rich skiers and socialites from out of town. It looked like a giant Swiss chalet, but with a ballroom, a conference center, and five floors. Everyone knew about it, but locals hardly ever went there because it was too expensive. I didn’t even want to ask how much Henry had paid for a room for the night.As we walked into the lobby, it felt like stepping into another world. A huge stone fireplace sat in the middle, though it wasn’t lit. Cozy chairs were arranged around it, and I could almost imagine coming back from skiing and warming up by the fire. To one side, there was a bar and a restaurant, and a grand staircase leading up. Henry went to the front desk, signed some papers, and got the key.“All set,” he said with a smile before leading me, not to the stairs, but to an elevator. That meant our room was on a higher floor. When we got in, Henry pressed the top button. It wasn’t numbered, just marked with a

  • Please! Marry Me Again    I wanted to ...

    Noah’s povI was sitting in my truck outside the Tokyo House restaurant, tapping my fingers on the steering wheel, feeling restless. The sky had an unusual orange glow as dark storm clouds began to cover the setting sun. The air felt thick, like rain was about to fall any moment, and I could sense the shift in the weather. I hoped Henry and Kathrine would arrive before the downpour started. Thankfully, I had thought to bring an umbrella, just in case.I glanced at my phone again, but there were still no messages from either of them.Just as the first heavy raindrops began to hit my windshield, I noticed the Impala pulling into the gravel parking lot. I quickly grabbed my umbrella and hurried over to hold it above the passenger door for Kathrine as she got out.She stepped out carefully, offering a small smile, though it seemed a bit forced. "Oh, Noah! Hi," she said.I wanted to kiss her, but something about the way she carried herself made me hesitate. I glanced at Henry over the car
