“There isn’t, or we would have undone it. Avalon told us we needed this in the static to be strong enough. We didn’t expect it to happen here. We were careful, and it fell apart.”
Well, then, what was done was done.
It was clear that Ridge loved Lucian, and the other way around, too.
She could be pissed about it, or they could figure it out. Truthfully, she didn’t believe for a second that Lucian would throw away what they had for a ‘fling’.
What the two men had between them had to be incredibly important.
“Will you love him forever?” she asked.
His heart skipped in his chest from the pain of not having Wynter forever, and the fact that Lucian was all he had left.
His heart was decimated.
“Forever,” he whispered, as that tear slipped down his cheek.
Bishop saw the agony, and she hated to see Ridge this torn apart inside.
“Well, then, you have my blessing to have a relationship with Lucian both in the static and here.”
His heart skipped, and she felt it since her head was on his chest over his heart.
“What?”
She was to the point.
“We can’t undo what is done, and frankly, you need him as much as I do. I think that in order for all of us to be whole, we have to look at this logically. My husband loves and craves you and me in order to be whole. This caused a change on this plane, and instead of making everyone miserable for my happiness, I’ll find joy in it and go with the fact that you make him happy too. I’m willing to give him this, and you this too.”
Oh.
Holy.
Shit.
“Really?”
She simply nodded.
That was when he felt the nudge to his brain and heard his lover’s voice.
She’s not lying, Ridge. Bishop is okay with it. We spoke last night, and I was honest with her. She understands. When your heart is healed, and you want to be with me, I’ll be waiting for you. I’ll always be waiting for you and this journey.
Well, that was shocking as hell.
“Bishop, I don’t know what to say to this.”
She reassured him.
“Right now, you want to know why, and I’ll tell you. Something that Lucian said resonated with me. He won’t love our next child less than our first because he can grow his love. His heart can get bigger, sharing more love, not less. I know that he can love me and love you because he already does. We’re a family, and we have a life here. I’m willing to share him.”
He didn’t have words.
Ask her. If you need to ask, trust she will not hurt you. Bishop is a special woman. She isn’t Wynter. It’s different rules with her.
Yeah, he could see that.
“So, if I wanted to go have sex with Lucian right now, you’d not kill me and hide the body in your flower bed?”
