Lake’s eyes bounce back and forth between us. “What just happened?”
Ev recovers before I do. “Sorry, sweetheart. We just weren’t expecting that.”
“Expecting what?” Oh, my innocent little bird.
“Just you essentially announcing you are a virgin before I even finish my first gyro,” I announce jovially while opening the plastic container with the Greek salad.
Ev shoves a plate full of food in front of Lake, who seems to be trying to process everything. “Eat, sweetheart. I know you don’t have that much time.”
Lake smiles at Ev. “Thank you. I’m not sure when I last ate today. I tend to forget when things like this happen.”
I won’t lie, I’m fucking curious what’s going on, but I promised Ev not to say anything. And generally, I agree. Lake needs to trust us and this relationship more before he reveals everything. I’m just thrilled he told us anything, but I can’t help that I’m fucking nosy.
“Well, next time you get caught up at work, I’ll make sure to, at the very least, text you to remind you to eat if I can’t see you. It’s important not to forget.”
The exchange warms my soul. Ev is always such a caretaker. He’s always feeding people. I think he must’ve been an Italian grandmother in a past life.
Lake seems shocked, but he smiles. “Thank you. I was afraid the two of you wouldn’t want to see me after this. I’m so relieved and honestly surprised you were willing to adjust.”
I frown. “Have a lot of people given you a hard time about your schedule, Little Bird?” I honestly don’t know why that upsets me so much. The same thing happens to me all the time, but I hate the idea of someone putting Lake down because of his career.
Lake shrugs as he eats a fry. “Not me so much. My family is very understanding, and I don’t really have anyone outside of my family and River’s friends that cares enough about me to worry about my schedule. But, a lot of my coworkers experience issues with their significant others.”
“Yeah, we have a similar problem. Poor Ev, he’s going to have to be veryflexible.” I wink at Ev.
Ev gives me a smoldering look, making it clear he understood my double meaning. “Oh, I can be flexible all right.”
The joke seems to go over Lake’s head. Gods, he is so fucking cute. “But, seriously,” Ev continues, “it’s not a big deal. Will it suck, and will I be worried about you two? Definitely. But I understand. I hope I never make either of you feel bad about your occupations.”
Lake’s head tilts to the side. “The way you’re talking, are you considering this a more long-term thing?”
Ev shrugs, trying to look casual even though I know there’s nothing casual about how he feels. “I’d like to see where this goes. There’s no rush, but yeah. I think we could possibly be long-term.”
“I agree. I feel something special with you two, and I want to get to know you better, Lake, and Ev better from a relationship standpoint, and see where this takes us.”
Lake’s eyes are wide, but he nods enthusiastically. “I think I’d like that. Just be patient with me. I may say things that aren’t appropriate, and I don’t always understand innuendos. But I try.”
I want to get up and hug the man, but Ev is sitting on the same side of the table as him, so he’s closer, and he wraps an arm around Lake’s thinner frame and brings him close. He kisses the top of Lake’s head, and I just fucking melt. What is happening to me?
“We like you for who you are, Lake.”
Lake just smiles and continues eating. I’m on my third gyro, but I can’t keep my eyes off the two men in front of me. I’m watching Ev’s lips move as he eats, how his Adam’s apple bobs as he swallows, and it’s turning me on. I’ve seen Ev eat countless times before, but I never once imagined my dick being wrapped before today. Holy fuck.
And Lake. Those lips that are currently wrapped around a straw deserve to be worshiped. I can’t help but fantasize about them wrapped around something other than a straw. I imagine both of my men would looking fucking delicious on their knees for me.
At some point, Lake’s phone buzzes. “Oh, that’s my alarm,” he explains. “ I need to head back.”
Lake starts to stand, but Ev gently grabs his wrist and stills him. “Before you go, there’s something we need to discuss quickly.”
“What’s that?” he asks quietly.
“What’s our opinions on any type of sexual activity when the other person isn’t present?”
It’s a good question, and I have to think about it for a second. I personally don’t care if Ev and Lake get physical when I’m not there. Honestly, it’s kind of hot to think about: coming home and getting a play-by-play of their activities.
Since Lake seems unsure of what to say, Ev plows on. “I personally don’t have a problem with it, but I think our first time doing anything more than kissing should be the three of us together.”
That’s smart. “I like that, especially since this will be my first time with guys. I want to be with both of you.” I look at Lake. “How about you, Little Bird?”
