“Why?” I asked, then shook my head. “Never mind.” To Damon, I said, “Come talk to Joel with me.”
“Joel? What’s he doing here?”
“He’s here for dinner.”
Damon hurried to the house and came in the front door like a bull running through glass. His smile was huge as he saw Joel. “Lookie here,” he said, nodding to our possible boy. “Nice surprise.”
“He was hanging out on the porch…not knocking.”
Damon slung an arm around his shoulders and asked Joel, “Is this mean man giving you troubles?”
“Damon, shit,” I said, but couldn’t help but laugh.
“Huh?”
Damon poked Joel’s nose playfully and led him over to our low-backed, white sofa and sat with him. “Joel, Joel, tell us about yourself.”
“Huh?”
One more huh and I was gonna scream. I sat near the couch in the brown leather chair, staring over at Joel. “He wants to get to know you. You know, like I said we were going to do?”
“Oh! Oh, hell, not much ‘bout me. I ride bulls and work on my place, an’ for Noah an’ Eli. Are y’all fellas really into all that stuff like them?”
He was dying to know about the kink, and it dawned on me right then. “Is that why you were sneaking around? To see if we were…involved in that?”
“Sorry, yeah. Been itchin’ to try it, but no one around here, you know, does that stuff, septin’ for them.”
Septin for them. Wow, the vocabulary could use some work, but it was endearing. “Joel, didn’t you want to go to college?”
“What fer?”
“Leave him alone, Burke. He’s adorable, aren’t you?”
As Joel’s eyes cut to Damon, he chuckled some. “I guess.”
He was adorable and exasperating and a thousand other things, but sitting next to Damon on the couch, I flashed back to the daydream I’d had. He fit, like he was made to fit there, next to Damon.
But I wasn’t going to rush it. If it didn’t work out because we went too quickly, it would hurt. I knew it would hurt. “Joel, we think you would make a good partner for us, after a lot of getting to know each other and things. Is that even something you’d be interested in?”
He thought for a few moments, his eyes raising to the brim of his hat before he spoke. In that mess of vocabulary, he had some wisdom. “Well-sir, I’ll tell ya.” He started, looking from Damon to me. “That’d be jus’ fine iffin you didn’t wanna keep me from messin’ around with other guys. I ain’t into all that. I’m too young, and I knows it, settlin’ down with anyone proper like. See, one thing I lied right off about that stuff y’all do is that usually, from what I seen, is y’all play ‘round some.”
Still gaga, Damon pinched his cheek. “Isn’t that perfect?”
I, the only voice of reason, it seemed, between my partner and I, had to answer Joel. “We’re polyamorous, which means we like to play with others.”
“Poly- whachtis ?”
I laughed then, and looked to Damon for a little help, which he finally gave. “It means, sweetheart, that we’d likely share you, and we’d fuck other men that are submissive or even some that aren’t, but that like to play around. The only thing we’d insist on, is that you only play with others, with us, not off on your own and you go by what we say to do.”
Again, his eyes lifted, and he thought about that for quite a while. When he met Damon’s eyes, he said, “That sounds okay, I’m guessin’. So, when do we fuck?”
“To be young and constantly horny,” I whispered, getting Damon’s ire.
“Young? I am still constantly horny.”
“ Yeehaw , let’s fuck,” Joel shouted, then got to his feet. “In here or the bedroom?”
Damon grinned at me like he’d won the lottery. I thought, wow, those two were a match made in heaven, but I had to slow things down a bit. “Joel, sit, now.”
