Share Us
You have no idea.
We split a giant plate of Alaskan salmon and a bottle of wine while talking about how busy we had all become at work. That was one thing we intensely had in common: the shared experience of seeing ACS grow from a mostly-empty office to a flourishing company with almost two hundred employees.
After dinner, we went back to her place. Her sister was staying out late with her boyfriend, Phil, so we would have the place to ourselves until midnight. Which was good, because that played into my plans more than she could know.
We arrived and walked up the steps to her house. Both of us were in that perfect area between tipsy and drunk. But I was also alert and tense, waiting for what I had planned.
As we neared the front door, Amber stopped with a start. “Wait.Jude?”
The spectacled blond man rose from the chair on the porch where he had been sitting. He was still dressed in his work clothes, wearing the button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled up.
“Hey,” he said, looking back and forth between us with uncertainty.Are you sure we want to try this?
I’m sure,I looked back at him, then turned to Amber. “I invited him here. I thought maybe we could all hang out tonight. Together.”
Amber, giddy from the alcohol, let out a laugh. “You sound like you’re offering a threesome.”
Jude froze on the porch. I stood very still, watching Amber’s reaction. The smile that faded slowly. The surprise that neither of us were laughing. The realization slowly spreading, shock and confusion and then something else.
“Wait a minute,” she said, looking back and forth between us. “Are you serious?”
“That depends,” I said. “How would you react if we were?”
I recognized that look in her eyes now. It was a glimmer of excitement at the prospect of doing this. Like she hadn’t even considered it before now, but the idea was growing like a timelapse video of an acorn rising and spreading into a thick oak tree.
She wants this.
“Let’s go inside and get a drink,” I said, guiding her forward. She unlocked the door and led us inside, turning on lights as we went. Amber seemed like she was in a daze, and she went straight to the fridge to get a beer. She opened it and then stared off at nothing, lost in thought. She didn’t even offer either of us a drink.
“Penny for your thoughts?” Jude asked her while getting two more beers out. He handed one to me.
“I’m just surprised, is all,” she said. There was a ghost of a smile on her plump lips, and her eyes cut over to me. “You two discussed this?”
“Yep,” I replied.
“And you’re both okay with this?”
Jude nodded, and then they both looked at me. Even though I was the one to suggest it, I paused to consider it again. Jude was my business partner. He was my best friend. We’d started two amazing companies together, building them up and sharing the responsibilities. But did that mean we could share a woman?
Yeah, we had already been sharing Amber. But it was averydifferent thing to do it in person. In the same bed. At the same time.
I had trained myself to be a leader my entire life. Charging forward with confidence, because that’s what people followed. I had already weighed our options. I had chosen the path forward. Now it was time to execute.
But for the first time in my life, I hesitated.
It all could have fallen apart right then. Amber saw the uncertainty painted on my face, and it was contagious. She put down her beer and took a deep breath to tell us that maybe this wasn’t such a good idea.
Then Jude came to the rescue, spinning her around and smashing his lips against hers. Amber was caught off guard, but I saw the tension begin to leave her body as she melted into his kiss. Their hands began moving over each other, grabbing and squeezing and holding.
Something came alive inside of me as I watched my best friend kiss my girlfriend. It was a little weird, yeah. How could it not be? But it was alsosuperhot. Like watching a preview of what I was about to do with her. The beginning of a porno movie made specifically for me.
Holy shit,I thought.Am I really into this?
It had started as a scheme to remind Amber that she was better with us than with Furio. I didn’t expect to like it. But as their kiss deepened, Amber’s mouth opening wide for Jude’s tongue while he pawed her breast, I felt myself growing as hard as a diamond.
Overcome by desire, but without jealousy, I grabbed Amber’s arm and pulled her into a kiss of my own. Her tongue was ready for mine instantly, and I cupped her ass with one hand and slid my fingers down between her legs with the other. She widened her stance as I dug my fingers into the denim of her jeans, feeling the intense heat within, and she moaned into my kiss.
She pulled away, gasping, and looked at both of us. A final chance for either of us to back out. But we were both determined, now. Neither of us was backing down. Nor did we want to.
