Hi all,

No, I’m not going crazy – this is a different excerpt from Mia’s Men. It’s from much, much further on in the story. Since it’s Valentine’s Day, I wanted to treat you to an excerpt that will make you go “awwwww”. So, without further ado…

He blew out a heavy breath, closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them again. “I know this thing between us started out as casual, and neither of us expected it, but it’s been really good for me. I love being with you, Mia. Spending time with you, whatever we do. You… make me happy. Incredibly happy. You’re an amazing person. So, I guess what I’m saying is, if you’ll have me, I’d very much like to carry on being with you. I don’t know if being your boyfriend is quite right description in the circumstances, but we don’t have to put a label on it, do we?”

Mia shook her head as her pulse thundered in her ears. “No. I think this whole thing defies being labelled, don’t you?” She clutched at his hands and shuffled closer to him. “And of course I’ll have you! Are you crazy? I’ve been shitting myself about having this conversation because I thought you’d run for the hills. And although I wouldn’t have blamed you, I’d have been devastated. I truly meant it when I said I don’t know what I’d do without you, Tom. You’ve become my rock, my best friend, and my lover all rolled into one over the last few weeks. I don’t want to live without you.”

Tugging her onto his lap with a wide smile, he said, “Well, it looks like you won’t have to.” He wrapped his arms around and hugged her tightly, then pressed a kiss to the top of her head. “It won’t be easy, Mia. You know that, don’t you? Elias and Alex have done this before and it hasn’t worked out. I’m assuming just with the two of them. Who knows how it will work with three men involved—or more. How we’ll all rub along together—if you’ll pardon the terrible pun—how we’ll deal with jealousy, what will happen after the wedding,  hell, what will happen during the wedding… there are a lot of things to be worked out, questions to be asked. But I loved you first, and I’m in it for the long haul.”

Mia’s stomach flipped. She tilted her head back and looked up at him, wide eyed. “You… did you just say you loved me first?”

A bashful expression took over his face. “I… yeah. I didn’t mean to blurt it out like that, but yeah. Yes. I love you. I’m in love with you. I don’t know quite when it happened—”

“Does it matter?”

Taken aback by her interruption, he said, “Er, no, I guess it doesn’t.”

“Good.” She smiled, then looped her arms around his neck and drew him down so they were nose to nose. Her heart was now racing so fast she felt a little dizzy. “Because I don’t quite know when it happened for me, either—the last few weeks have been so hectic—but I’m in love with you, too. You loved me first, and I loved you first. And nobody can ever take that away from us, all right? No matter what happens in the future, and with who—we’ll always have each other.”
