Nate sighs. “Fine, well, my non-negotiable is beach. And waves.”
“Shocking,” Mason smirks.
With a grin, Nate rises from the captain’s chair to drop the anchor. “I’m nothing if not predictable.”
Nate’s been enjoying his work at the club, but he’s also been picked up on the amateur surfing circuit again. He’s come back better than ever, won a few competitions, andis setting his sights on bigger ones. It’s a far cry from the wheelchair, that’s for sure.
“What’s your non-negotiable, Mason?” I ask.
He lets out a heavy sigh. “Spa.”
I let out a loud laugh that ripples across the lake.
“What? I like to be pampered.”
I cup his chin in my hand. “I know you do, baby.”
Mason snags a kiss just as Nate settles in on the other side of me.
Nate’s hand drifts through my messy, unwashed hair. “What about you, Laney? What’s your non-negotiable?”
“Oh…” I hesitate, resting my head on Nate’s shoulder. “I’m happy wherever, as long as I have both of you.”
It’s corny, I know. But it’s true. I want them wherever I am.
Other than my work, I commit all my energy to our relationship. To love two men is the most rewarding experience of my life.
And now that we’re a family in some official capacity, who knows what will come next?
All I know is I want them. I need them.
And now I have them.
We are all quiet as the sun rises over the lake, a yolk spreading through the violet and baby blue sky.
I am struck in that moment that I am sort of like the sun.
The sun doesn’t rise in the sky just to create pale yellow beams. It creates swaths of colors as it travels. Contains multitudes that can’t be reined in.
I cannot be reined in. Cannot have my love defined by a world that’s too closed-minded and busy-bodied.
I take Nate’s hand. Then Mason’s. And I place them both against my chest. “I can be anywhere in the world as long as I’m with you.”
“You know we’re not letting you go anywhere, Lanes,” Nate murmurs, planting a kiss to my jaw.
Mason’s hand slides against the inside of my thigh. To his name. He rubs that spot right there. It’s an erogenous zone for me, even more so since the ink.
“We’ll always take care of you,” Mason promises in my ear just before capturing my ear lobe with his teeth.
I sink into their kisses. Their hands. All under an open sky.
As it has been from the beginning.
We are free. Primal.
We love out loud. The three of us.
Always.
