Tempted by Two Angels [Notorious Nephilim 3] (Siren Publishing Ménage Amour) Read online

  “Let me get this out,” said Hugh, cutting his gaze to Sterling. Hugh sat in front of her and took her hands. His skin was cool, which was so unusual alarm began to spread through Caleigh. “Caleigh, this is scary for me—I won’t lie. I was burned badly by Lilith. But when I read your note…” His voice trailed off, and Caleigh swore he was about to cry. She’d never seen such an expression of profound sadness on his face, and her own tears began to flow.

  “When I read your note, I didn’t want to go on. You’re not Lilith. You’re my songbird—our songbird—and I can’t lose you. We can’t lose you. I don’t know if I’ll be any good at this, but I’m begging you to give me a chance. I love you, Caleigh. Please give me a chance to make this work. Give us a chance to make this work.”

  “Oh, Hugh…” Caleigh wrapped her arms around him and pulled him close, drinking in his scent. Her limbs trembled as the tears ran down her cheeks. “I love you, too. I love both of you, but I’m so afraid I’m going to hurt you. I don’t know how to do this.” She pulled away and looked into his eyes. “I don’t know if I can.”

  “We have no fucking clue either, Caleigh. But it’s no good without you. Please come back. Please stay with us.”

  Sterling sat next to her and stroked her arm. “Caleigh, I’ve loved you since that night we first stood on the roof and talked about the stars. We want you to be with us. Please come back. We’ll make it work. I promise.”

  “Sterling, I love you, too.” Caleigh fell into his arms and rested her head on his muscled chest. This felt so right she knew her decision to leave had been borne of fear and nothing else. But she didn’t need to be afraid any longer. Her two sexy fallen angels were here now, and she was going back with them to where she belonged.

  “How did you find me?”

  Sterling grinned, and her panties flooded. “We have powers, remember?”

  “But you won’t have them if you become mortal. Are you both okay with that?”

  Hugh snorted. “Fuck the powers. It’s you we want.”

  “I agree,” said Sterling. “Fuck ’em. Without our songbird, none of that matters. Just say yes, Caleigh. Say yes and come back with us.”

  Caleigh looked from one man to the other, the last vestige of fear hanging on for dear life. But she realized she had nothing to be afraid of. These two men were her future, and they would care for her and love her for the rest of her life. She belonged with them.

  “Yes.”

  Hugh and Sterling gave cries of joy and pulled her into their arms. She breathed in their scents and said good-bye to the fear. She was where she belonged, with her two perfect fallen angels.
