GRAYSON

The landscape below the mile-high cliff fell away into the distance until it blurred and merged into the blue sky. The patchwork of farms, the quiet rustle of grass, the buffeting of the cool wind against my ears where I sat near the edge, it was serenity enshrined.

I closed my eyes and breathed, just breathed.

I had hoped that coming here would help me gain some insight into how to go forward with a CNC relationship that was embedded in a dark bedrock of take, take, take where consent was so iffy it was puffy dandelions seeds afloat on a breeze. Emme and I had started this either badly or perfectly.

Which was it?

That edge of CNC fell away precipitously, same as this cliff. I picked up a pebble and chucked it far out into emptiness, watched it arc downward and disappear. Perhaps there was no solution.

Dragging her away at the park had been insanely risky. Far more than my first impromptu encounter the night at the riverfront.

My phone warned of a text, and I lifted it.

Axl:You know I said I wouldn’t stick my dick in her without your say so

Fuck, what was this? Where was he heading?

Me:Yes. What have you done?

Axl:Nothing yet. I know you. You don’t know how to make this work. I’m your friend, like it or not and I want her too. Let me do something

A headache arrived. I rubbed one finger between my eyes then tapped an answer.

Me:What is it? This better be good

Axl:Permission to make her come for you? Promise, my dick will not go in her

I lowered the phone. Axl was a persistent asshole, but he was politely asking, which was a little unusual for him. The days that had passed since the party had let me remember why we were friends. Did I really want to share Emme? I imagined how this might be, with two of us fucking her and messing with her head.

Yes, I wanted to share with him. If he could keep himself under control, it was a definite yes. The mindfucks were double the fun when he was there.

I raised the phone again.

Me:The stubborness is strong in you. If it goes tits up, I’m scrubbing you from my records, my memory, even the stains in the bathroom…scrubbed

The cellphone felt like a ticket to somewhere unknown but promising.

Axl:Two of us can do this way better.

Me:Fuck. I said yes. You can play with her. No fucking her. Go be a savage like daddy taught you

Axl:Best friend ever

I snorted and laid the phone by my side on the pile of my jacket. Whatever happened next, I was a long way from it. That was probably for the best.
