I do trust them. Implicitly. These dangerous men are the four loves of my life, and they would never steer me wrong.
My heart flutters with excitement and nerves. Whatever they have planned, I know it's going to be an experience I'll never forget.
The pier creaks beneath our feet as we walk further out to sea. The sounds of the city fade behind us, replaced by the gentle lapping of waves. A salty breeze kisses my skin, carrying the fresh scent of the ocean.
My pulse quickens. We're definitely getting on a boat.
"Can I take the blindfold off now?" I ask eagerly.
"Not yet," Roman says from behind me. His large hand strokes the small of my back in a soothing gesture.
After a few more minutes of walking, we come to a stop. The pier sways under my feet as the guys untie my blindfold. I blink in the bright sunlight reflecting off the water, spots dancing in my vision.
When my eyes adjust, I gasp.
We're standing in front of a massive luxury catamaran, gleaming white sails billowing in the wind. Two levels of polished wooden decks are adorned with plush lounge chairs and an open bar.
It's the most stunning vessel I've everseen.
"Do you like it?" Aidan asks with an uncharacteristically shy grin. From the way he runs his hand through his hair, I know straight away that he’s been anxious about whether or not I’d like this surprise.
I throw my arms around his neck and kiss him soundly. "It's perfect!"
His shoulders readjust in what I can only assume is relief and perhaps a little excitement.
Brick sweeps me up in his arms, spinning me around until I'm dizzy with delight. "Only the best for our girl."
"The captain will take us wherever you want to go," Slade says, wrapping his arms around my waist from behind. "We have the catamaran for the entire day."
My heart swells with love for these men. They always know how to make me feel special.
"Then what are we waiting for?" I say breathlessly. "Let's set sail!"
The engines rumble to life as we board the catamaran. This is turning out to be the most romantic date ever. I have a feeling the adventure is only just beginning...
We cruise along the coast, soaking in the sun and enjoying glasses of champagne. The guys take turns feeding me bites of cheese, fruit, and chocolate as I lounge between them. "This is the life," I giggle, feeling like a fancy guest onBelow Deckbut without the cameras in my face or the staff on board acting the fool.
When the catamaran anchors in a secluded cove, they lead me downstairs to the main deck. My breath catches at the sight before me.
Lights are strung up along the rails, and blankets and cushions are strewn about. More champagne is on ice, along with an array of desserts.
It's the perfect setting for romance.
Brick pulls me into his arms, swaying gently to music only he can hear. "Dance with me, Valkyrie."
I melt against his chest, following his lead. Slade cuts in, then Roman, then Aidan. We dance and laugh, perfectly at ease in each other's arms.
As darkness falls, we cuddle up together to gaze at the stars. The sky is awash with constellations, the Milky Way stretching endlessly above us. The warm breeze carries the scent of the sea.
It's pure bliss being here with the men I love.
Roman nuzzles my neck, his stubble scratching my skin. "What would you like to do now, my love?"
A delicious shiver runs down my spine. I know exactly what I want.
"I want you to make love to me," I whisper. "All of you."
Brick growls low in his throat, eyes smoldering. "Your wish is our command."
