Caspian laughed. “We can all work on it together.”
We explored space after space. A cozy library. A large office with desk space for all of us. A basement with games and a screening room. A gym. The back deck and patio space with an outdoor kitchen and ridiculously sized hot tub.
Anson sent me a wink. “I’m ready to christen the hot tub first.”
I shook my head but grinned.
“Let’s go upstairs,” River said, tugging me back inside.
We headed up one of the staircases to the second story. The guys pointed out their own rooms. Each one seemed to fit them in a way. Caspian’s was forest green, with a computer set up that looked like it could launch a rocket. Knox’s had a variety of blues and a minimalistic décor. Anson’s had vivid wallpaper on one wall, full of color. River’s was all grays and whites with the most calming aesthetic I could imagine. Another door was closed and I knew without asking that it was Vaughn’s space. A room that would likely never be used.
We came to a stop just outside another closed door at the end of the hall.
Caspian’s hand hovered on the doorknob. “This one is yours.”
He pushed it open and I gasped. The space was huge. More of those massive windows and a breathtaking view of the lake, forests, and
mountains.
In the center of the room was a bed unlike any I’d ever seen before. It had to have been custom–made. It looked like three king beds in one, with a headboard that was made out of Aspen branches woven together. The comforter was a purplish–gray with pale green leaves embroidered into it. I had the sudden urge to dive into it and never get up.
As I stepped further into the space, I saw floor–to–ceiling bookshelves on one wall, and a gorgeous painting on the other. The whole room was
like heaven.
Anson pressed a button on a chest at the end of the bed, and a television rose out of it. “This way, we can have movie nights in bed if we want.”
“I love it. I’ve never seen anything so beautiful.”
“There’s more,” River said, motioning me forward. He paused outside another doorway. “Don’t be mad.”
My eyes narrowed on him. “That is never a good way to start something.”
Anson moved up next to us. “I gave Cass my credit card to fill up your closet.”
My jaw went slack. “You did what?”
He shrugged. “You needed more clothes. You’ve been living out of that duffle bag for weeks.”
I just shook my head and stepped into the closet. The space could’ve fit a whole other bedroom. There were dressers and shoe racks. Hanging sections of all sizes. A vanity to do my hair and makeup. Every space was filled.
“This is too much,” I whispered.
Anson moved in behind me, wrapping his arms around me. “It’s just money. We all have more than enough of it. Let us spoil you a little.”
“I promise we get just as much, if not more, pleasure out of it,” River said.

Screw My Childbear
Chapter 133
I swallowed hard, looking around at everything. At least I wouldn’t have to go shopping again for a very long time. “Thank you.”
“I think the next part is going to be your favorite,” Caspian said.
“What else is left?” I didn’t see how there could be anything they hadn’t already covered.
Knox’s eyes twinkled. “The bathroom.”
Thai twinkle almost had me a little scared. “If I pass out from luxury overload, one of you better catch me.”
Anson kissed the top of my head. “I’ve got you, baby.”
I strode out of the closet and down a small hallway. When I stepped into the tiled space, I froze. My mouth fell open. I kept blinking as though that would clear the image in front of me.
There was a shower so large I swore it could fit an entire football team. It was complete with benches and shelves to hold our products. A rain shower overhead and countless jets on the walls.
There were mirrors and sinks on the opposite wall. Six in total. Drawers and cabinet space for all of us.
But it was the bathtub that had me drooling. Again, the size was unlike anything I’d ever seen. It was big enough for all of us to use it at once, and it was positioned in front of a window. It would make you feel as if you were floating on air while taking a bath.
“Okay, everyone out. I’m taking a bath right freaking now.”
The guys burst out laughing.
Caspian moved to me, wrapping me in his arms. His eyes blazed with that blue heat I was growing addicted to. “How about we all take a bath?”
Now that was an idea I could get behind.
I stared at the brick building as Anson pulled into his parking spot.
“Do we really have to go in there?” I wasn’t even ashamed of the little whine in my voice.
River nuzzled my neck. “Believe me, I wish we could’ve stayed home.”
Home. We had that now. One that we were building together in so many ways.
After a bath that had set my nerve endings on fire, we’d gone to Anson’s house to get his stuff, and so that he could loop in his housekeeper, Maxi, on where he’d be living. She’d gotten teary but said she understood, offering to come cook for us whenever we needed. Then we’d returned to the lodge to get the rest of our belongings.
