right back.” Nick eased from the bed and went to his room. He picked up the box that had been on his dresser for over three months before he returned to Noah’s room and sat on the bed.

He looked at Rylee, who stared back at him with wide eyes as he opened the box. Nick removed the solitaire ring from the box and picked up Rylee’s hand.

“This is why we came to see you that night,” he said softly as he slid the ring on her finger. “We were going to ask you to marry us. Well…” He chuckled nervously. “I was going to ask you to marry me.” His expression grew serious. “We wanted you to know how serious we were about you, and about making this relationship work.”

Nick brought their joined hands to his mouth and kissed the palm of her hand. “And if you want to marry me, too, I’m all for it. God knows that I want that more than anything.”

He glanced briefly at Noah. “But I also read about this place in Madison that does commitment ceremonies for people in relationships like ours. And I thought that we could do that, too. It’s not a legal thing like the marriage would be, but it would give all three of us a chance to exchange vows and make a commitment to each other.” Nick looked back and forth between Rylee and Noah. “So, what do you…”

“Yes,” Rylee said before he could finish his sentence. She leaned toward him, and he met her halfway as they kissed, slow and long. When she finally pulled back, Nick hugged her closely against him. He looked at Noah over her shoulder, and he could see the love and gratitude in his brother’s eyes.

Thank you, Noah mouthed the words. Nick nodded as a smile spread across his face.

Rylee let him go and turned to Noah, who pulled her into his arms and kissed her deep.

“Never letting you go again. You’re ours,” Noah whispered fiercely against her lips.

“Yours…both of you. Only yours.”

Nick moved until he was pressed against her back. His hands moved gently over her body. “Every inch of you…ours.”

“Yes. Made for you…for both of you.” Rylee turned her head toward him, and Nick placed a kiss on her lips.

“So, how soon can we do the ceremonies?” Nick paused at Rylee’s question. He looked at Noah, who looked equally surprised.

“Well, we can probably do the commitment ceremony in a few weeks. But are you sure you don’t want to plan something bigger for the wedding?”

Rylee shook her head. “Only if that’s what you both want. As far as I’m concerned, it can’t happen soon enough. I’ve already wasted enough time being without the two of you.

I’d prefer not to wait another minute.”

“That’s not a problem for us, angel.” Nick grinned at her. “If it could happen today we’d do it.” He kissed the tip of her nose. “We just figured that you’d want to have a big fancy wedding, like most women do.”

Rylee laughed. “Well, I think it’s safe to say that I’m not like most women.”

“No, you’re not.” Noah pressed a kiss to her temple. “You’re so much better.”

They were each quiet for a minute before Nick reluctantly started to speak again. He looked at Rylee. “Before we do either ceremony, I think we need to figure out what to do about the whole distance thing.” His gaze shifted to Noah, who was nodding in agreement. “I know you just took a new job, and I’d never ask you to give that up…”

“Actually, that won’t be a problem.” Rylee interrupted quietly. “I quit my job.”

Nick looked at Rylee in shock. He glanced at Noah, who had a similar expression on his face. “You quit? When?”

“I turned in my resignation a couple of weeks ago.” Her eyes filled with tears that slowly ran down her face. “It was hard to be excited about my new life in Seattle when my entire world was still here in Wisconsin.”

“God, baby…” Nick’s hand slid through her hair until his fingers rested at the nape of her neck and urged her toward him until their heads rested together. He closed his eyes and took a moment to feel thankful that this incredible woman was back in his life. He opened them again and stared into her amber eyes. “I love you.”

“Love you, too.” Rylee smiled through her tears. She reached for Noah and pulled him close to her. “I just hope you two don’t mind having a partner with no job for a while.”

Nick shared a brief look with Noah before he looked at Rylee again. “I think we might have a solution for that.”

Rylee frowned. “What kind of solution?”

Nick reached out and took her hand. “Do you feel like taking a ride? We want to show you something.”

Chapter Thirty

Rylee stood in the middle of the huge, empty room that was large enough to fit all of the rooms in Nick and Noah’s house combined.

She walked over to the glass double doors that led to a private balcony and watched the crew below busily working to renovate the property.

“So…” She turned away from the window to look at Nick and Noah. Her heart raced at the sight of these two fine ass men who stared back at her like she was the sun to their sky, the moon to their stars, and the center of their universe. “This is yours?” Her expression was full of shock.

“No, this is ours,” Noah corrected her.

“But…how did you know?” Rylee just couldn’t believe that she was standing in the same place that she’d worked so hard to buy. When Ethan told her that the property had been sold, she’d been devastated. And to finally learn who’d actually bought it left her speechless.

“After Drew told us what you’d been trying to do, we went to visit Ethan at his law firm and made nice with him.” Nick gave her a small smile. “It took a little work
