That kind of scares me because I grew up with the idea that life should be lived a certain way and milestones need to be reached at certain points in life—like getting my first real job at twenty-one, getting married at twenty-three, and having two kids by twenty-five.

I don’t care anymore about those things, and that gives me a lot of freedom but a lot of uncertainty, as well.

No matter what happens, though, I know the Hunters will always be with me, supporting me in everything I do. And honestly, that’s all I need to face the future with no fear.

I run my fingers through my hair to fluff it up and check my reflection again as I put my lipstick and my compact back in my bag.

I think I look as good as I can, considering this is the end of a long work week. And not that I’m using this as an excuse to ignore my appearance, but the Hunters have seen me at my worst (read: hunched over the toilet bowl with puke stains on my sweatpants after eating some questionable shellfish) and they still look at me like I’m the only woman in the world.

I walk out of the bathroom and across the office floor. There are about twenty employees on this floor, and many of them are still seated at their desks, their monitors casting an eerie glow on their faces.

“It’s 5:15,” I announce to everyone in the open-plan office space. “You’re not being paid nearly enough to give up having a life.”

Most of the office workers grin at me and tell me they’re leaving soon.

Nobody—and I mean nobody—has been rude enough to pry into the nature of my relationship with the Hunters, much less try to separate us. Put simply, nobody cares. And that’s the way I like it.

Moving here has been the right decision.

As I open the door leading into my shiny, new office, the Hunters turn around to stare. Mason whistles in appreciation, and I can’t help but giggle. These men still know how to make me lose my composure.

The way they look at me—sweet and sinful, serious and playful, protective and predatory—drives me crazy. They’re such a delicious blend of contradictions, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Growing up as an only child, I always wanted a big family. I just never expected that it would come in the form of five gorgeous, sexy, loving, protective men. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I’d live such an unusual life.

I’ve come to realize that being normal’s overrated. What’s so good about a life where everything’s neat and certain?

I’d rather live an interesting life. And with the Hunters in my life, I know that’s pretty much a given.

What can I say? I’m a lucky, lucky girl.

“Are you guys ready to go, or do you want to sit there all night?” I ask.

“Your chairs are just so comfortable, Ava,” Ollie says.

I smile. “I know. I put a lot of thought into my furniture choices.”

“He lies,” Nathan says softly in my ear as he slings his arm around my shoulders. “He just couldn’t stop thinking about taking you home and peeling that dress off your body.”

“I should’ve ‘forgotten’ to make the reservation,” Noah says. “That way we could take you home right away.”

“Guys, this dress needs to be taken out to dinner. I can feel it,” I say.

“I guess I should’ve ‘forgotten’ to get you the dress, too,” Liam teases as he pulls the door open for me.

I giggle.

Seriously, I get to spend all day at work and all night a home with these men. This may not be what most girls want, but it’s perfect for me. There’s just the right amount of chaos to keep things interesting.

I love my life, and I love every single one of these five men. They’ve made my life way more interesting than it’s ever been, and we’re only just getting started.
