🎶 Don't be scared to come put your trust in me. Can't you see all I really want to be. Is your boyfriend (yeah) 🎶

Despite the size of the mansion, the demanding schedules of her four men��Kylian, Locke, Kendrick, and Decker (H)—along with increased security and Kendrick's NFL draft ambitions, make it difficult to find quality time with all of them. So when Valentine’s Day approaches, she eagerly anticipates a weekend getaway to a secluded cabin, away from distractions, where she can reconnect with each of them, and maybe even indulge in some group fun.

─── �� ｡ﾟ��: THOUGHTS*.�� .*:☆ﾟ. ───

[Kylian]

“I did not get Jo anything,�� Kylian replies. “I curated an experience she will find equal parts amusing and sexually satisfying.��

MY BABY. He knows Jo so well that he totally understood she wouldn’t want to make a big deal out of her birthday. So, he told everyone to hold off on the celebrations—but of course, they didn’t listen. It just shows how in tune he is with her needs, always paying attention to what she wants and what makes her comfortable. I love how he’s so structured and has his routines, and the fact that she gets him and understands that side of him just makes them even more amazing together. I’ve missed him so much, and he’s just so special to me.

[Decker]

“Sit and let me take care of you, woman.��

After the full minute passes, I murmur, “Thank you for loving me so well.

One thing about Decker is that he’s really good at carving out those special moments just for him and Jo. He doesn’t mind sharing her with others, but there’s something about those quiet, intimate times just between the two of them that he treasures. It’s like he knows how important those moments are for their connection. He loves her so deeply and is always willing to give her whatever she needs, as long as it makes her happy. And yeah, he can be a little bossy, but in the best way possible—he’s got this incredible ability to understand exactly what Jo needs and how to give it to her in a way that feels natural and right.

[Locke - Nicky]

“That’s not an accurate portrayal of what occurred. Nicky alerted you to the significance of the date, yes. But you don’t see a massive pile of presents from him anywhere, do you? This”—he makes a sweeping gesture around the kitchen, ending at the present-covered table—“was all your idea.��

STOP. He just wanted to show Jo how much she’s loved on her birthday, to appreciate her in the sweetest way possible. But in trying to do that, he accidentally triggered a bad memory, and I honestly felt so terrible for him. He’s such a good guy, and he was just trying to do something nice for her. But at the same time, this moment is such a learning experience for their relationship. They’re still figuring each other out, and they’re so different, yet they balance each other so well. It’s all a part of their growth, and even though it was tough, it just makes me love them even more. I love my babies so much.

[Kendrick]

Kendrick lightly shoves him in the chest. “You just don’t know when to quit, do you, Cap?��

MAMA. I love Kendrick. That’s husband material right there. He gets it so perfectly, especially when it comes to Jo. He understands that it’s all about the small moments, the little things that show her how much she means to him. Kendrick truly thrives on taking care of her—he gets a sense of fulfillment from making sure she feels reassured, loved, and supported. One thing’s for sure, he will ALWAYS take care of her. He just knows how to show up for her in ways that matter, and it’s everything. What a man.

─── �� ｡ﾟ��: OVERALL*.�� .*:☆ﾟ. ───

This is exactly what I needed too—a novella that shows they’re all happy, close, and still learning about each other. It’s like watching my precious babies grow together, and it just fills my heart. They’re so perfect for each other, and even with all their differences, they’re finding their way through it, one step at a time. I can never get enough of them, honestly.
