Where Elic’s kiss was sweet and timid, Reed’s was sinful with reminders of our past kisses as he owned my mouth. I was half hard when Elic kissed me. Reed brought me the rest of the way there. But he was gone before I could really dive in.

The smile on his face told me he knew exactly what he was doing. “Who’s ready for fried chicken?”

ELIC

The last time I’d had that much fun was… I couldn’t remember. The entire night was amazing. We went on rides, ate way too much, and I got my first kiss with Casper and Reed. It was in public, in front of people who took our picture, but I didn’t care. I was so damn happy, no one else mattered.

I’d been doing good at staying off the internet, not bothering to look and see who said what about us. There were people at the fair who would lean close to each other and whisper. I easily pushed that aside and focused on the men with me. Listening to the workers in the restaurant wasn’t easy though. They were right there all day. The worst part was when they brought up Reed and Casper being related. The workers didn’t care one way or the other. They were gossiping about what they’d read.

It was a sticking point for many. People couldn’t wrap their heads around stepbrothers dating. It was still taboo to them. It didn’t matter they didn’t share blood. Their last name, their relation by marriage, that was where they thought it was wrong. Assholes.

But I wasn’t thinking about that. Not when the warm evening air was coming in through the windows as Reed’s sexy car took us back to his place. The smile on my lips hadn’t eased. I was certain I looked like an idiot and didn’t care in the least. To be this happy, I wasn’t letting the feeling go yet.

Reed pulled the car slowly into the garage when we returned. He shut it off and hit the button so the garage door started going down, closing us into the home where I was safe. Where the outside world couldn’t touch me. Casper stepped out and held his hand for me. These were the moments when I was reminded I wasn’t living outside any longer. There were people who cared about me. Who chose to be with me. Reed came around the back of the car, so they were both near me when I stepped out.

“Thank you for tonight,” I told them. “It was a lot of fun.”

“We’d like you to go again tomorrow night to watch us play,” Reed said. “You can stay backstage, so you don’t have to be bothered by anyone.”

“I’d like that.” Luckily, I had the weekend off. Cadence probably made the schedule that way on purpose to allow me time to spend with Reed and Casper.

Casper lifted his hand to cup the side of my neck. “El, that kiss…” His gaze flickered to my mouth briefly. “I can’t stop thinking about it.”

My breath hitched. “Was it okay?”

“Okay? I wanted to drop to my knees and worship at your feet. Fuck yeah, it was okay.” My experience with kissing people I wanted was nil. What I had were a lot of awful memories of forced touches and kisses. I didn’t want them to cloud my experiences with these men.

Shit, I couldn’t believe I was going to say this out loud. I felt so inexperienced. And maybe I was because this was nothing like I’d done before. “I got my test results. Everything was negative.” The immense weight had lifted from me, knowing I wasn’t walking around with a disease I’d contracted in my most desperate moments. I felt fine, but who the hell knew what was inside me? I’d tried my best to be safe. Not every guy felt like I did.

Reed gave me a soft smile. “I’m glad you’re healthy.”

“Me too. So…” Jesus, what was wrong with me? I wanted these two like my next breath, and yet I couldn’t bring myself to ask them if they wanted me too.

“So?” Reed asked.

I bit my bottom lip.

It earned a low growl from Casper. “If you want something, you’re going to have to say it. We need words to be clear about what’s going or not going to happen.”

“I want you both, but not in the garage. I want… I want us to be together, but I can’t… I’m not ready to have you... There was so much taken from me. I can’t go there yet.”

“El,” Casper said and gave my neck a soft squeeze. “You don’t have to explain it to us. You tell us your limits and we’ll honor them. Always.”

“You don’t want to be with me like that?” I wasn’t ready for either of them to be inside me, but the thought of them not wanting me that way didn’t sit well either.

“I didn’t say that. We won’t push you. If you ever want to take one of us, just say the word. We’ll go slow and stop if you’re uncomfortable. If you never want to, we’re perfectly fine with that too.”

“But… do you bottom, Cas?”

“I haven’t before. I’d consider it for you.” He turned to look at Reed. “For both of you.”

Reed’s eyes hooded. “Fuck, baby, you’re going to let us have your ass?”

“Let’s not push it right now,” Casper said. “This isn’t about me, anyway.”

“Right.” Reed nodded, focusing back on me. But I didn’t want all of their attention on me. I wanted to see them together too. I wanted it to be equal.
