And for the next half hour, our food got cold while I proved to my two submissives exactly what they meant to me.
Epilogue
JUSTIN
WHILE I THOUGHT THE WEEK would never end, I was sure Landon, Langston, and Luci had been thinking just the opposite.
Luckily for all of us, the week did end and Saturday was finally here.
More importantly, their wedding day was finally here.
Now, I wasn’t big on weddings, didn’t usually attend, choosing instead to send a gift to the lucky couple. It wasn’t that I had anything against them, I simply didn’t care to sit through it. However, when it came to some of the most important people in my life, skipping out wasn’t an option. Yeah, it was safe to say I was turning over a new leaf, learning to accept that I wasn’t in complete control all the time.
On a positive note, they weren’t having a traditional wedding ceremony. Considering three people couldn’t legally get married, it made sense that they were choosing a formal collaring as a way to share their vows. As far as I was concerned, it was the most important part of a D/s relationship. Or in this case, a D/s/D relationship. In the eyes of their friends and family, they would forever be united by the sanctity of kink.
More important than vows if you asked me.
Of course, Luci would be legally marrying one of them for other reasons. I knew the twins were not about to let anything happen and not have Luci taken care of. They should’ve known that we would all be here to take care of her, God forbid that ever happened, but I understood their reasons.
“Are you ready to go?” Ben asked when he stepped into my bedroom.
“In just a minute,” I told him. “Why don’t you go get Addison, make sure she’s ready.”
“Sure.”
While Ben went to get her, I finished with my cuff link and then grabbed my watch. I glanced at my reflection in the mirror and realized, although I was happy for my friends, they weren’t the reason for the smile on my face.
No, that was thanks to my sneaky submissives and their unique way of getting me to open up and finally admit how I truly felt. From the outside looking in, nothing was different, but on the inside…I wasn’t sure I would ever be the same.
However, today wasn’t about me. It was about our friends and the forever they had found with one another.
I couldn’t remember the last collaring ceremony I had been to. When Landon and Langston had officially proposed to Luci at the club, I had been with my father, spending his last minutes on earth with him. I’d hated that I’d missed seeing my partners publicly announce their desire to spend their lives with Luci, but truth be told, those last hours with my father had been more important.
Good news was, I would get to see them go through the motions today.

An hour and a half later, Ben, Addison, and I arrived at the elaborate grounds that had been chosen for today’s special event. I had learned that Master Ramsey had insisted on this particular venue, telling the lucky threesome that it would be worth it.
In fact, Trent was in attendance, which, I assumed, was why there was so much security and so many damn reporters trying to get a glimpse of the festivities. Not that they would be able to see anything. I was sure Trent had ensured this would be as private as necessary for the type of ceremony Landon and Langston would want. Hell, when they’d proposed, she had been naked in front of the entire club. There was no telling what would take place today.
It wasn’t until we’d made it around to the spot near the water where they’d set up that I realized why Trent had suggested this place. Even I could see the beauty. The water was shimmering in the final rays of daylight, and the backdrop of pink, orange, and blue from the setting sun offered just enough to make it beautiful, but not too much that it would take away from the three people who were going to be the center of attention.
“Wow,” Addison said as she came to stand beside me. “This is stunning.”
“Yes,” Ben told her. “And we better take our seats or we’re going to miss the best part.”
As I watched Ben lead Addison down to our seats, I realized one thing.
Maybe this was the best part.
But not only for Landon, Langston, and Luci.
Perhaps it could be the best part for us, too.
One day.

I HAD NEVER WITNESSED A formal collaring ceremony before. Similar to a wedding, there were vows to be exchanged and, in this case, a collar to be placed. No one could deny that it was a beautiful setting, yet instead of focusing on Luci and her Doms, I found myself completely enraptured by Addison.
