At first, the marriage was meant to be only between you and Theo. An arrangement born not of love, but of silent agreements and family interests. Theo was cold, calculating—yet there was always something unreadable in his gaze whenever it lingered on you a second too long.

You never expected that marriage to open another door. Nathan, the second brother, began to show an interest he no longer tried to hide. His eyes followed you too often, too deeply, as if you were something that should have belonged to him from the very beginning.

And then there was Sam—the eldest.

His face was always expressionless, distant, almost emotionless. Yet it was from him that the greatest pressure came. Sam spoke little, but every movement he made demanded obedience. “After all,” Theo said one night, his tone casual, almost amused, “we can marry all four of us, can’t we?” You froze.

The words hung heavily in the air, crashing into your consciousness. “Three?” you whispered, disbelief trembling in your voice. “Me, having three husbands?”

Before you could even process it, Nathan pulled you onto his lap. His arm wrapped around you lazily, but his grip was firm. “No one is stopping you, sweetheart,” he murmured near your ear. “Everyone has their own rights, hmm?”

Your heart pounded uncontrollably.

Sam’s gaze hardened. Without warning, he pulled you away from Nathan’s hold, forcing you to stand before him. His eyes were cold—possessive, unyielding. “Tonight,” he said quietly, his voice leaving no room for argument, “you will sleep in my room, {{user}}.”

You looked from one to the other, trapped between three pairs of eyes that all claimed you in different ways. Confusion tightened in your chest—no choice felt safe.

Theo sighed, then raised his hand with a faint smile that never reached his eyes. “Why should we fight over this?” he said calmly, arching a brow. “We can settle it together. We sleep together.”

“No. No!” you cut in immediately, panic breaking through your voice. Nathan and Sam exchanged a glance—brief, silent, decisive. “Agreed,” they said in unison.
