He took a deep breath. “Okay. I know we can’t do this officially, not even now that gay marriage is legal, but I want… I mean… Will you two fucking marry me?”
Jack sputtered.
Mason’s eyes went wide and then he laughed. “That is so you to ask like that. All I can say back is fuck yeah.”
They both looked at Jack. “Fuck yeah,” he said. “Now can we try this cheesecake?”
“That’s it? We’re just going to eat cheesecake now?” Gray tried to look incredulous, but really he was relieved.
Mason shrugged. “Yeah. Why not? We all belong to each other, right? And marriage would just be a declaration of that among friends.”
Jack nodded.
“You mean you’ve thought about it before? About us getting married or something approximating it?”
They both nodded.
“And you didn’t say anything?”
“I didn’t think…” Jack’s words trailed off, and he looked down at the dessert platter.
“Me either,” Mason said.
“Well, you were wrong. I do want to. We’ll set a date later, because right now I’m going to eat cheesecake.” Gray’s appetite was back in full force.
The cheesecake was amazing as were all the other desserts. After they cleaned the platter and paid their bill, they went back to the cabin and sealed their declaration with gentle lovemaking.
When they could drag their tired bodies from the bed, Gray, Jack, and Mason crept onto the deck, shivering in the frigid night air before they sank into the hot tub. When all three of them were submerged in the water, Gray clicked off the flashlight he’d used to guide their way. The night was pitch black around them, the only sounds the occasional murmurs from vacationers in other cabins and the hooting of a distant owl. Gray tipped his head back against the rim of the tub and let the water ease his sore muscles.
Just as Gray was wondering if he could stay awake, Jack laid a hand on his thigh and spoke. “Should we go for a big wedding?”
Gray sputtered, but before he could respond, Mason said, “I think so, something outside. Could we get it together by May or early June, do you think?”
“I’m sure we could,” Jack said. “We’ll need to contact a lot of people, though: a caterer, a florist, a photographer, someone to officiate. I bet Toby’s sister would help us; she loves planning things.”
Gray opened his eyes, wishing he could see the expressions on Jack’s and Mason’s faces, because he hoped to God they were kidding. “You’re joking, right?”
“What? No,” Jack answered.
Gray had never intended to get involved in some crazy scheme for a big gay threeway wedding. “I thought we’d see a lawyer, get some papers drawn up to give us certain protections—the closest we can come to marriage—and then we’d say vows in front of a few friends and…”
“Go home and fuck?” Jack asked.
Gray felt his face heat even more than it had from steam surrounding them. “I’m not going to get away without having a big ass party, am I?”
“No.”
He groaned. “What was I thinking?”
“That you love us,” Mason said.
“That you want everyone to know it,” Jack added.
They were right. Gray loved them enough to suffer through wedding plans for them, maybe even to enjoy the ceremony and reception. It was going to be one hell of a spring.
