“Yes,” said Axel.
“All of you.”
“Yes,” said Zane.
“The three of you together. At once. Like… like last night.”
“Exactly like last night,” said Tyler. “Only that’ll be every night. And every day. Not just the sex, but the love. The respect. The support. The taking care of each other, like we have always have.”
“And of course the friendship,” added Axel. “That’s something that would never change. But yeah. Now we want everything else.”
My head was spinning. I tried shaking it clear.
“You just broke up with Lexus,” I prodded Tyler. “You’re ready for another girlfriend?”
“Lexus and I were never going to work out,” he shrugged. “I think I always knew it, I just wouldn’t admit it to myself.”
“We all knew it,” smirked Zane.
“Besides, the whole time we were dating, I was comparing her to you,” Tyler confessed. “I wished she could be you, Ari. I’ve loved you since childhood.”
“Same here,” said Axel. “You know how many times I’ve wanted to take you out on a date date?”
My mind was blown. I had no idea. “Really?”
“Yeah, really,” Axel chuckled. “But I never knew how you felt, and I didn’t want to screw up the friendship. And of course, I also knew these two would probably kick my ass.”
“Probably?” swore Tyler.
“I didn’t try to date you for a lot of the same reasons,” said Zane. “Maybe our attraction seemed purely sexual, but it wasn’t that way for me. Whenever we got together I kicked myself for not pushing for more. I caught feelings each time.” He shook his head bitterly. “It hurt to even look at you, afterward.”
My mouth dropped open. “And that’s why you always disappeared?”
“Yes.”
“So why didn’t you—“
“Because I couldn’t!” Zane swore. “What would I tell the others?”
“I… I…”
“Being with you was amazing, but it sucked knowing I couldn’t have you,” he finished. “Not in the way I truly wanted.”
I sat there stunned, unable to speak, not even reacting as they began cleaning up breakfast. It was obvious they’d had this conversation already. They’d talked about it before. They knew what they wanted.
And what they wanted, apparently, was me.
HOLY.
SHIT.
I was flattered, frightened, confused. Terrified out of my wits, yet insanely turned on beyond anything I’d felt before.
“Look, we’re probably not selling this right,” said Zane, “so let me make it totally clear. We’ve had girlfriends, all three of us, and none of them have really worked out. And the reason for that is probably because of you.”
“Me…” I repeated, numb.
“That’s right,” said Tyler. “Nobody could live up to you. Ever.”
