"Hey, hey, man. You guys gotta teach me that prayer. That's some good shit, man!" Rocco exclaims as Connor closes the door behind himself

"Cool it, Roc. It's a family prayer. My father's father before him. So that's our shit." Connor says

"Oh, come on!" Rocco huffs.

"I've had that damn prayer stuck in my head for days" I say as we leave the club and casually head back to the apartment "It's been playing over and over and over in my head"

"You've only heard once before" Connor says sounding surprised.

I shrug "Yes and? I'm really good at memorizing stuff. If I hear something once it's in here forever" I say and tap my temple gently.

"No way" Rocco says "I can't even remember the first line"

I take a deep breath and say "And shepherds we shall be. For thee, my Lord, for thee. Power hath descended forth from thy hand that our feet may swiftly carry out thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to thee and teeming with souls shall it ever be. E nomini patri, et Fili e spiritu sancti. Nailed it!"

The boys stop walking and I turn to face them. All of them look a mixed between impressed and shocked.

I shrug "What? I've got a good memory!"

Murphy comes out of his shock first and wraps his arm around my shoulder "And why is it ya chose to remember that?"

I blush and break away from him and continue into the apartment building "Come on, let's order food or something"

In the apartment Rocco goes out to buy alcohol and food. Connor and Murphy corner me as I exit the bathroom. I jump and hold my chest shouting "Jesus Christ!"

"Lords name!" They both say in unison.

I sigh and push past them "Oh, give it a rest"

"My point exactly. You're not even the religious type and yet ya memorized our prayer, why is that?" Murphy asks as they follow me into the living room/kitchen

I shrug as I plant myself on the crappy old couch "I told you, it got stuck in my head"

"Now, Rhi, we know when you're lying to us" Connor says, sitting on one side of me as Murphy sits on the other.

"Boys, honestly, it's catchy and it got stuck in my head" I tell them

They share a look "Nope, still lying" Murphy says

I let out an aggravated sigh "Fine!" They both look at me with interest as I say "When I first heard you guys say it… it kind of turned me on a little bit."

They both looked shocked and I get defensive "Just because ye were both so serious and I've only even seen you two that serious when you're with me…" I feel my cheeks burning with embarrassment and I jump up from the couch "Forget it"

I'm pulled back down roughly. I let out a gasp as I hit the couch. Murphy kisses me as Connor drops onto his knees in between my legs and unbuttons my jeans. Connor leans forward and lifts my vest top to reveal my stomach and places feather light kisses over my stomach and hips.

Murphy pulls away first and lifts my vest top over my bra and says "We were goin' to teach ya the prayer anyway" He trails kisses down my neck while massaging my breasts over my bra.

I look at them confused "It's a family thing. I'm not family"

Both boys stop what they are doing and look at me. I feel like a deer caught in the headlights as my eyes flick between the two of them.

Connor smirks "Murphy, I don't think Catriona fully understands our intentions for her"

"Intentions?" I ask with a raised eyebrow.

"What? Did you think we were gonna let ya go at some point?" Murphy asks with a scoff.

"To be honest, I never thought that far ahead." I say feeling very curious "What are two planning?"

Murphy lifts my left hand to his mouth and kisses it "Legally, ya can't marry the both of us but that's our intention"

My whole body goes rigid and I push my vest top down "Marry?"

I trip over Conner in my attempt to get away from the two of them. Don't get me wrong, the thought had crossed my mind a lot lately but Murphy is right. I can't marry both of them and that's what always turned me off the idea. The laws of the land say I can't have both of them.

Connor and Murphy look hurt "Connor, Murphy. I would want nothing more than to marry you but we can't, legally we can't. I could only marry one of you and I can't make that decision"

"We're not asking ya too" Connor says then nods to Murphy.

Murphy gets up and goes over to his bag. Connor comes over to me and offers me his hand. I take it and he pulls me off the ground and holds me to his chest.

Murphy comes over and holds out a box "We took some of the money from the case and got ya this"

I turn myself so my back is against Connor's chest and take the box off Murphy. Connor places his head on my shoulder as I open it. It's a two tone gold crossover diamond ring.

"The two types of gold represent each of us" Connor explains, indicating to himself and Murphy with a finger.

"What we have could never go on paper but that doesn't matter. Nobody gets to tell us who we love and we both love you and you love both of us. So, what do you say?" Murphy says

I look between them, tears stinging my eyes "You two really love me, don't you?"

Connor kisses my neck as Murphy wipes away the tear that escapes from my eye "More than life itself, love." Connor says

"We would die for you Catriona" Murphy adds.

The tears that fall from my eyes are happy ones. The sobs that wrack my body are joyful. I've never felt this overwhelmed by an emotion in my life. I can barely comprehend the love I have for the brothers on either side of me but I know that being without them would kill me and that is not a figure of speech.

"I love you two so much." I sob loudly "I never want to be without either of you. I want to be with you both forever"

"Is that a yes?" Connor asks

I nod my head quickly "Yes, it's a yes"

I take the ring out the box and let the box fall to the floor in my haste to put the ring on. Two hands stop me, one with Aequitas on its finger, the other saying Veritas.

"It's only right we do it" Murphy says

I try and hold my hand steady as the boys both push the ring onto my left ring finger slowly. It's a perfect fit.

"I don't have one for you two" I say looking at the ring

"Oh, we've got that covered, love" Connor says and steps away from me.

He goes into the bag and pulls out two more little boxes "This got us a strange look from the jewellers" He says with a grin.

He hands a box to Murphy and they open a box each. One of the rings is a simple band of white gold and the other a simple band of yellow gold. Murphy is holding the white Gold, Connor the yellow Gold.

"Look inside them" Murphy says.

I pick up both rings and look inside them. Catriona is written in small cursive writing on each band. I grin.

"May I?" I ask

Both boys offer me their left hands. I slip their rings on then take their hands tightly in each of mine. "Do you know why it's the left hand?" I ask

They shake their heads.

"It's because the vein in the left ring finger connects directly to your heart. Isn't that nice?" I say

I step up on my tip toes and kiss Murphy first before turning to Connor and kissing him "I do" I say with a grin.

The boys grin back "Aye, I do too" Murphy says

"I do too" Connor says
