When Leo was five, he and his family had gone to the Redwood National Park. It had been a year before his mom had died, although none of them had known that then. At the time, it had just been a family trip like any other.

The holiday was crystallised in Leo’s mind not only because it was one of the last good childhood moments he could remember but because the experience itself had rocked him in a way he hadn’t been able to understand when he was that young.

All his memory had truly captured was Leo standing at the foot of trees that seemed to go on forever, up, up, up into the sky and into space and further, and feeling blown away that such a thing could exist. That Leo could be so small, and so alive, and so young, and be beside this great old thing filled with some foreign power he would never know.

It wasn’t an eloquent train of thought at the time, but he could still call back the feeling of being taken over by an emotion bigger than him, the way nature could humble and awe you at the same time.

Sitting on Josh and Damon’s couch, he found himself feeling something similar. Awe at where he was. At how much bigger the love he had for these two men was than him—how much bigger their love was. How much grander the feeling of safety, as simple and still as it was.

When he leaned down to kiss Josh, it all came together. Every piece fitting into the next, up, up, up into the sky and into space and further still.

Josh was grinning when they broke apart, and then Damon was there, capturing Leo’s lips in his own, tongue slow and hold firm until Leo was whining into his mouth.

They undressed him on the way to the bedroom, spreading him out on the mattress and running their hands across his skin—fingernails and pads and knuckles, as if mapping him out for future exploration. Josh teased his nipples as Damon lapped at the scent gland in Leo’s neck, Leo squirming and grasping at the sheets just to hold on to something.

The truth was, though, that he could let go. There, with them, he could release all his walls and safety nets and still be sure he was going to be caught as he fell.

“Please,” Leo had to beg eventually. “Please.”

Josh and Damon didn’t seem in the mood for that much teasing, Damon kissing him as Josh got the lube. Josh stroking Leo’s cock slow and easy as Damon fingered him open. Damon kissing him tortuously as Josh fucked him on his elbows and knees, hands sure and tight around Leo’s hips.

God, but Leo had missed this. Josh and Damon’s scents bloomed with arousal, filling his lungs to the brim, filling his head and his heart. Josh angled his hips so that he was nailing Leo just right, making him pant into Damon’s mouth until Josh came with a groan.

Damon didn’t take long in fucking him next, cock splitting him open even though Leo was wet and sloppy. Josh gripped Leo’s hair and put his teeth to his scent gland, muttering all the while, “You’re fucking perfect. You’re taking it so good. Look at you, fuck.”

Leo was a panting, shivering mess, sobbing into Josh’s skin as pleasure flared into an unbearable pressure and heat burst through him, blazing everything into ash and dust to be renewed.

Leo clenched tight as Damon came inside him with a moan, feeling himself fill up again and only letting himself collapse when Damon finally softened his hands on Leo’s hips.

They lay there for a while, all tangled up as they caught their breath—Leo on top of Josh, Damon on top of Leo, breathing into each other.

“Okay,” Damon said eventually, “let’s clean up.”

Josh and Leo whined even as they dragged themselves off the bed, Josh wrapping his arms around Leo’s middle after the shower, chin on Leo’s shoulder, watching him brush his teeth.

“What you starin’ at?” Leo garbled, giving him a sudsy smile.

“You. How good you look in our bathroom.”

Leo blushed, spitting into the sink and rinsing his mouth before straightening back up. “Yeah?”

“Yeah.” He buried his nose in Leo’s neck. “You smell good, Alpha. Like us.”

Leo felt heat run up and down his spine even though he’d come less than twenty minutes ago. His gaze shifted to Damon, but he didn’t seem to have any problem with his Omega talking to someone else like that. Which, why would he? They’d literally just had sex.

But, sill…this was somehow more intimate. A quiet moment between them.

“I like smelling like you guys,” Leo admitted softly. “Like you guys smelling like me.”

Josh’s smile widened even further, and Damon took a step closer, kissing him softly on the lips.

“We love you here, with us,” Damon murmured, the word ‘love’ shooting through Leo and making his heart race.

“I love it too.” Leo wasn’t brave enough for more of a statement—not yet—but even those words meant so much more.

Josh kissed his cheek. “Bed?”

Leo nodded. “Yeah, let’s do it.”
