Benji POV-


The tattoo on my neck!?! To be honest, I had forgotten about it. I barely ever notice the thing. Most of the time it's hidden under my suit collars so I never really see it. Unless I'm shaving my beard. 

"The tattoo on my neck was there before we met Maria. My little sisters name was Maria and she was killed a week after her graduation from high school when her car was hit by a drunk driver. Her car spun out of control and she crashed into a tree. The other driver is still in jail for a DUI and vehicular homicide.  So no this is not for her. She like to play with people's mind and say that she was the reason that I did it but in all reality it has never and will never be for her. She still tries to contact us and spreads rumors that we never really broke up but whatever rumor you hear, you need to know that it isn't true and if you ever doubt that or what to know how valid it is then come ask us. We want to hide nothing from you and we need to have an open communication link between the three of us if this is to work. I'm sorry we didn't tell you earlier. We should have but we didn't know how to bring her up."

I watch her eyes shift between the three of us, her leg shakes slightly and her hands are clenched. On a serious note she doesn't look upset at us for not telling her. She looks.....like she's in shock. But for what reason?

Roman POV-

Looking towards Mike, I notice that he is stuck looking at the ground and refuses to lift his eyes. I bet he is replaying all those awful moments in his mind's eye just like the rest of us. We should have listened to him. He tried to tell us from the very beginning that she was using us but we were too stubborn to listen to him. Even people at the office wanted to say something. We can play it off like we never saw the faces the staff made when she walked into the office or hear the nasty little comments women made. Of course we assumed that was because the other women were jealous but quickly we found out the reason why. We were too caught up in the hype of a new relationship that we thought would go places but the only place it went was to hell in a hand basket. 

"Princess, will you tell us what you're thinking please? I am not sure about the others but I am starting to worry about you." I speak. 

Her head rises slowly and in the depths of her eyes in a fire that I have never seen. I sure hope it isn't directed towards the two of us.

"Mike, I promise to never put you in a situation like that were you feel like you need to watch and monitor my every move. If I ever do something that hurts, bugs, or bothers you please tell me right away. As for you two, I ought to punch the two of you! I would ask how you didn't realize she was playing you but that whole ordeal is in the past. I will not let the past effect our future. Now if she approaches me again with some nonsense like today then I can't promise to be on my best behavior but I can promise to never lay hands on her again unless she touches me first. I will however verbally lay into her. Being who I am, I will need you both to often reassure me that this is what you want and I am the woman for you. As you know I don't have much experience dating, let alone dating two men at the same time. So naturally there will be times where I am unsure, confused, puzzled whatever word you wanna use. I promise to do my best to make this work and to inform  you of any problems. Just promise to love me and I promise to love you."

I couldn't be happier to hear her words. She wants to continue this and doesn't feel like Maria could be a problem for whatever the future lies. I know the three of us will need to be on guard whenever she is concerned but for now we can breath easy.

Mike POV- 

Feeling gentle arms wrap around my midsection, I realize that Shay has hugged me. The little sneak! I never heard her move. It feels nice to have her hug me and to know that she isn't like that little bitch. I knew from the first moment that I met her that she would be different and be the woman these two knuckle heads would need to clean out the trash in their minds. She's the sweetest little thing ever and after hearing what happened in the meeting pfft! I know she can handle herself no problem. Hopefully she won't need to but never know when the weasel will come sniffing around. 

Leaning forward I wrap my arms around her and place a gentle kiss on her forehead. The dear just squeezes tighter and all is at peace and well in the universe. 

Once the hug is over we part ways. Me, I'm going home to my own family. The three of them are going to enjoy a nice relaxing lunch and then probably spend the rest of the day laid up in each others arms. Sounds like a good plan. Maybe Aaron, my partner, and I can do that later on with some wine and popcorn. Turn on the fire place, stretch out on the sofa with some pasta, wine, popcorn with his favorite movie. Let's just say we're in need of a date night.
