Chapter 33 - Utter Devotion

*Garrett*

After dinner, Paul and I took the bags upstairs leaving Serena with Devon. They needed a moment alone together to talk. I could see that she was softening toward them both, this place did that for all of us. Helped us relax and get our heads on straight. I wish we cold come here more often.

I dropped my bag in my room and continued on to the room Paul uses. Serena has her things in his room at the penthouse because he has the master suite there. Here we all have about the same size rooms with attached bathrooms. I don’t know how the sleeping arrangements will go tonight but I decide to defer to whatever Paul wants. I know he must be anxious to have her again after two weeks without her.

I stepped into his room, the door was open, and looked around for him.

“Paul?” I called out.

“Yeah,” he said he answered and walked out of the bathroom.

“Do you want her bags in here?” I asked, while watching his reaction.

The answer was most definitely yes. My brother was jonesing for our girl.

“Leave them by the door and we’ll see what she says when she comes up. Do you think she and Devon are getting along down there?”

I shrugged my shoulders, “I hope so. She looked more relaxed and stayed voluntarily to help clean up.”

He was silent, I’m sure trying to think how this was going to go, but none of us knew. I left him then and headed to my room. I wanted a shower and a change of clothes.

When I came out of the bathroom, Serena was sitting on my bed. I guess I should have known she would come to me, I’m the only one so far that hasn’t hurt her.

“Hey Baby Girl. Your bags are in Paul’s room. We didn’t know what you would want to do.”

She looked at me with something like resignation.

“I don’t know what to do either. I can forgive them now, and I want to. But it makes me feel like a chump. Am I supposed to be the bigger person? I want revenge. To the same shit to them that they did to me before I pat them on the head and say everything is fine.” She complained.

I went to sit beside her, she needed some guidance, but what the fuck did I know? I’d never been in a relationship before and a four-way relationship? This was never on my radar.

“Forgiveness is hard. We all know you’re no one’s chump. You’ve taken charge of the situation and let them, all of us, know that you won’t settle for that kind of behavior. That you are worth more than what is between your legs. Not that we think that, but Baby, letting them back in? That should be no hardship. We want to worship you. Yeah, they didn’t make a wise decision, but do you really think it will happen again?”

“None of us want to lose you over this, or any other matter. Always talk with us when you’re mad. It can’t be easy having three possessive men in your life as your boyfriends. There’s going to be a learning curve for sure, and I think they learned their lesson. I for one have never seen them get on their knees for anyone, ever. But they did that for you. And the way you took charge on the plane? No one thinks you’re a pushover. If you decide you want to sleep in here with me, no one will blame you. If you want to sleep in Paul’s bed, we will follow you there. We need to surround you, you’re in our blood now. We are all in with you and we want this to be our forever. Truly forever. You are our family now, Serena.”

I had more I could say, but she was thinking now. I could still see the indecision, but it was mixed with a bit more confidence. We loved her and wouldn’t stop, she had to figure this out on her own though.
Paul walked in and I knew he had heard some of the things I said because the look in his face was priceless.

“Baby Girl, Garrett is right. You are no one’s chump and in the back of my mind, I knew you would be pissed, but I ignored that in favor of getting the information we needed. I’m sorry that I put your feelings to the side, and I promise too never do it again. I do realize that I could lose you if I step out of line but know one thing about me. I will always move heaven and earth to keep you. I’m so in love with you that I can not imagine ever living without you. You have my promise to always tell the truth and always be faithful. I will shield you from problems like my father though, so you may not always like what I do, but I will tell you next time,” he lamented.

Serena stood suddenly and Paul drew closer. She threw her arms around him and hugged him. He murmured his thanks for her forgiveness into her hair and then she went up on her tippy toes and lifted her face for a kiss.
I let out an inaudible sigh of relief. One down, one to go.

Devon walked in then, freshly showered too. He surveyed the scene and stepped close to Paul and Serena.

“Baby?” he asked. “What about me? Will I be forgiven too?”

“I can forgive, because it hurts me not too. But I won’t forget anytime soon. You left our house and went on a date with another girl. A very pretty girl that you had a sexual relationship with. You know I can’t compete with that since I’ve only been with the three of you. Don’t ever put me in that situation again, because I will choose me. I’ve only given you everything,” she looked at all three of before continuing. “You need to know that I’m not above getting revenge.”

We all growled, the sound filling the room. And I wanted to punch Devon for making our girl doubt herself.

Devon shifted forward and took her hand placing it on his crotch.

“This is yours. It will take more than a pretty girl to turn my head, sweetheart. I swear that I am only yours, every bit of me. Most importantly my heart is yours. I did what I did so I could protect you and not for a moment did you leave my mind. You have my heart and soul forever, I swear it,” he said with utter devotion.

“Never give your body to another man, sweet girl. We will fill your every desire. You belong to us now, freely given. Don’t taint our love with any revenge ideas of that sort, please,” I practically begged her. “We are for you, and you are for us.” I said as I walked over to join the group.

We surrounded her with our bodies to prove our point, because I knew the other guys felt the same.

I leaned down to kiss her neck, because it was there, and she tasted so sweet.

“Let’s go to bed,” she said with a soft sigh.

In unison, we all walked out of my room and into Paul’s room.
