She shrugs her shoulders and scoots out of the bed, unaffected by her nudity, stepping behind Cam to wrap her arms around his middle. She drops her head against his back, careful not to touch the scarred side, reassuring him with her touch.
“Cam, I want to say yes to Sage so badly. But I can’t do that without your blessing. Without your acknowledgment that it’ll be the three of us together in this arrangement. It’s the only way I can live. I need and love you both so much.”
I see Cam’s broad shoulders tense, his frame so imposing and massive compared to London’s lithe body. We’ve all lost so much in our lives and Cam continues to deal with the shit that’s been lumped on him so unfairly.
As I stare at my two lovers, a song title pops into my head, the lyrics flying around like fall leaves in the wind.
Holding on.
I hold on to you so tight,
so scared to let you go.
You’re the only one who can make this right.
You’re the only one who makes me whole.
Without you, I’m just no good.
I’m just another lost and hurting soul.
Cam turns around in London’s arms, capturing her in his own embrace and plants a kiss at the top of her head.
“Let me think about it. It’s a lot to take in. I mean, I just fucked a dude in the goddammed ass for the very first time and you expect me to talk about marriage?” His tone is sarcastic with a touch of amusement evident in his voice.
Our laughter fills the room and Cam returns the hug to London. I get up and join in on the embrace, wrapping my arms around both of them.
This is exactly how I want the rest of my life to be.
Wrapped up in of the arms of my two best friends.
My two lovers.
And hopefully, my two forever life partners.
