Engagement Party 2
Dawson
“I adore her, I think she is perfect for you,” Shay said as we danced. I looked at her. Her face looked happy, she was smiling, but her eyes were sad.
“She is perfect for me. Perfect for us,” I said.
Her brows furrowed. “What do you mean perfect for us? The Becks family?”
“No, Shay. I mean for me, Mic, Ford and Davis.”
“Dawson, are you telling me you four share her?” The shock on her face had me chuckling.
“We don’t just share her. She’s in a relationship with all of us. Just as I’m in a relationship with all of them, and they are in a relationship with each other.”
“You, Mic, Ford and Davis? You’ve…” She was speechless and she looked around for them. I followed her eyes and saw
that Isha was dancing with James.
“What about him, they seem to be close,” she asked.
“That’s one of her best friends. He’s in a relationship wiiiith…” I drew out the word looking for Savage and Rage and found
them with Wolf and Janelle shoving food in their faces, figured, I smirked.
“Those bearded mother f*ckers by the dessert table. Not the huge one, the other two.”
She looked and gasped. “Yummy,” she murmured.
“Nope, not for you. They’re committed to James.”
“Don’t worry, I’m not on the market.”
“I thought you were dating someone? I thought it was serious. Mom said you told her he was coming with you.”
“Yeah, well, he decided to use me for everything I had, financially and emotionally and f*ck the CFO of Bosa because he
makes her feel young and seen.”
“The f*ck?”
“I don’t want to talk about it, let’s get back to your relationship. You’re all happy?”
I smiled, I still wanted to come back around to her problem, but right now, I’ll let her change the subject.
“Yes, we’re all happy. Look,” I said, nodding behind her, I turned us so she could see.
Ford took Isha out of James arms, just as Savage grabbed James and whirled him into his arms. Ford dipped Isha and glided his nose up her neck. Her laugh had my c*ck hardening and I cursed, I did not need a hard on with my, I guess, little sister in my arms.
“They do look happy. Look at everyone, they are scandalized. But not Patrick and Aria. They know?”
“They do, and they support us.”
“The babies?”
“They are ours. We all claim them, however if one is a boy or both, they will be confirmed at birth if they are mine or if the male child is mine. She knows this, we’ve talked about it. Mom explained everything to her.”
“But will the family accept?”

“It doesn’t matter if they do or not, mom and dad do and that’s all that matters. They also support Mic, Davis, Ford and I. The family will have to deal with it.”
“They’ll talk,” she said.
“It doesn’t matter, they can talk all they want. In the end, father and mother have the final say and once they pass, so will
Isha and me.”
“You’re so lucky,” she said.
“Shay, what’s going on?”
“I have nothing, Dawson. I spent everything on him except for seventy-five thousand. I supported him, paid for him to advance in the company, bought him whatever he wanted, because I thought he loved me. I left my job, I have no place to live, I’m once again the poor homeless orphan.”
“Stop, just stop that talk. You are my family, you know d*mn well mom and dad will help you.”
“But they shouldn’t have to,” she whispered, tears springing to her eyes.
“They won’t “have” to do anything, because they’ll “want” to. You are just as much a daughter to them as I am their son. Your parents were their friends. We watched you grow up. You’re family Shay. About a job, the boys and I need an in house financial person. We’re all partners, so how about you become our CFO.”
She gasped. “Dawson, seriously?”
“Yeah, we talked about it when we heard you were coming home. We were going to ask you to be our accountant but this is way better, you can just be in charge of everything for Colorado and Vegas.”
She squealed. Some looked towards us. I saw the judgmental looks that were given towards us. I scowled at those people, they looked away fast. Snobbish a*sholes. I knew what they thought of her, I’ve heard the whispers and have put those people in their places when I did hear them.
“So that’s a yes?” I asked, chuckling.
“Yes, thank you!”
“Good, and as for a place to stay, you can stay with us. We have the room, and having another girl to hang with Isha would be helping us out. Plus, once our house is done, you can have the house we live in now.”
“Thank you Dawson. Thank you so much.”
I hugged her, “You’re welcome.”
“Can I have this dance?”
We looked over and Wolf was standing there looking at Shay.
“Yes, but also no to the look on your face. She does not need to be involved in whatever you and Janelle are involved in.”
“I have no idea what you mean,” Wolf said, innocently.
“Uh, huh, Shay, watch out for this guy, he and his Old lady are in to some freaky sh*t.”
“Says the man who has three boyfriends and a female fiance,” Wolf said smiling.
I rolled my eyes and handed Shay off to Wolf, I looked around and was horrified to see Janelle dancing with Uncle Fred. That f*cking old pervert had his eyes glued to her chest. Janelle was eating it up. I swear her and Wolf were different.
A hand gripped my arm. I looked towards Davis and smiled.
“Are we doing this?” I asked.

“Might as well make this engagement memorable,” he said.
So, we started dancing and the murmurs started up immediately. Movement next to us had us looking over. Mic and Ford had Isha sandwiched between them. Both of their hands roaming. I heard a loud laugh and saw Aaron and Ava dancing and Rage joined James and Savage. I heard a masculine groan and on my other side Savvy was in her own sandwich with Jack and Mac. Voices were raised with outrage as some of the older generation cornered mom and dad.
“Well, looks like we’ve stirred up some trouble,” Davis said.
I leaned down and kissed him, causing more gasps. I chuckled. He smiled.
“Hey, I’m like the only one you haven’t kissed voluntarily in forever,” Mic said with mock outrage.
I leaned over, grabbed him around the neck and slammed my mouth to his, then I grabbed Ford and did the same. When I pulled back, Isha grabbed me and kissed me. Some cheers were heard that I knew were our friends. When I pulled back I looked at my parents. My dad held up a glass as some of the family were talking animatedly to him and mom. Mom leaned her head on my dad’s shoulder ignoring them.
We were out to the family and I couldn’t be happier. I took Isha into my arms while Davis went into Mic and Ford’s arms.
“You look satisfied,” she said.
“Oh, I am satisfied. How has tonight gone for you?” I asked her.
“I’ve had two women say in my hearing that the only reason you’re marrying me is because I’m pregnant. So, now I bet the rumors of our children not being yours will now start.”
“These children are mine, as much as they are Mic’s, Davis’ and Ford’s, I growled, putting my hand on her stomach. And before the rumors could start, I dropped down to one knee, grabbed her by the hips, and leaned in to place a reverent kiss on her belly. Applause erupted. I looked around and saw all of our friends clapping and beaming at us. “There, now they all can kindly f*ck off.”
She giggled and it was music to my ears.
“You are going to stir up some more b*tching for your parents.”
“I don’t care. Besides, this family does nothing but b*tch because they’re all bored with life and do nothing with the money they have been given except spend it on trivial sh*t.”
“Oh, the life of the uber rich,” she said.
“You are in that life my love.”
“Yes, but, unlike them, I like to help others.”
“Yes you do baby.”
“Ford Meyer’s,” I heard a woman screech.
Isha and I looked over as Mic, Ford and Davis stopped dancing. I cursed as Ford’s mother and father marched onto the dance floor with a brunette being towed in their wake. She looked completely embarrassed.
“Darlene,” Ford said.
“I am your mother, you will address me as such.”
“No,” Ford said.
“You are embarrassing me and your father,” Darlene yelled.
“No, you are doing that all on your own,” Ford said with a bored tone.

“You will stop these antics right now. This is Debra Collings. She’s a Doctor and has also invented a serum that can cure
Cancer.”
“Well, it doesn’t cure cancer, it shrinks tumors to a more manageable size for surgery,” Debra said. “Um it’s nice to meet you, I didn’t know I was being dragged here to be presented to you, I thought I was invited to talk about investments, I had no idea it was an engagement party, I’m so sorry.”
I gave her a smile. This poor woman.
“Darlene, this is not the time nor place for your theatrics,” Ford said.
“This is the exact time and place because obviously you need a good woman to straighten out your ways.”
“He has a good woman, and his ways are just fine,” Isha said, stepping next to Ford and grabbing his hand. He looked at her with complete adoration. I stepped up and put my hand on his shoulder, Mic and Davis moved closer to both of them.
We were united.
Darlene scoffed. Ford’s father Nicolas, tugged on her hand.
“I don’t mean to be rude Ms. Ryan, but Ford is confused. You are engaged to Mr. Becks, Ford needs a woman that is
unencumbered,” Darlene said, trying to be diplomatic.
Mic, Davis and I scoffed.
“Well, Ford is with a woman that is unencumbered. In fact he’s already committed, to not only me, but to Mic, Davis and Dawson,” Isha said, taking off her engagement ring and showing her tattoo. So we all held our hands up showing our ringed tattoo on our ring finger. Mine was a thick black band like the others but on top of my finger were the initials IDFM,
where Mic’s had IFDD, Davis had IDMF, Ford had IMDD and Isha had DDMF. Silence was met at our revelation.
“Ford needs to be married to a woman or he can kiss his inheritance goodbye,” Darlene said.
“Good thing he doesn’t need your measly inheritance,” I said with a smirk.
Darlene gasped, Nicolas scowled. Poor Debra looked like she would like to be anywhere else than right in the middle of this debacle. I watched as Wolf walked up to our group, whispered something in her ear and took her hand in his. She blushed and nodded. They walked over to Janelle who embraced her in a hug. I just shook my head in disbelief. He
winked at me.
“Well, you heard Dawson. You can take your inheritance and shove it up your ass,” Ford said. We all couldn’t help
chuckling.
Darlene stamped her foot, she turned to speak to Debra and finally noticed she wasn’t there. She turned back to Nicolas
and grabbed him by the arm. They turned and left in a huff.
“Well, can’t say it was nice meeting your mother babe,” Isha said.
“My mother is Aria Becks and she adores you,” he said.
“D*mn right she does,” I said, taking Isha back into my arms. The dancing resumed. We ignored everyone else and their judgmental stares.
