“Shit like that?” Kade scoffs.

“Like, shit we’re cool with, shit we’re not cool with, shit that should wait, shit that’s completely off the table, shit that should happen together, and shit that’s cool to happen whenever with whoever.”

“Eloquent,” I laugh, loving that he never tries to be anything other than himself. I nod, hopping off Kade’s lap so the three of us can have this ‘shit talk’ without anyone’s dick accidentally-on-purpose slipping inside a pussy.

“Fine, you’re the boyfriend,” Kade says to Jed. “You’re the one who should start this shit.”

I don’t think it should be about that. Yes, Jed is my boyfriend, but our relationship is opening to Kade, and he has just as much say as Jed does, and as I do. But I’m still getting used to the way these two communicate, so I’ll let them steer things this way for now if it’s going to make them both comfortable.

“Like, shit I’m cool with all the time?” Jed asks, climbing out of the tub to grab three cans of beer stuck in the snow. He brings them back, hands them out, and looks hot as tattooed hell while doing it.

“Yeah.”

Jed leans against the edge, cracking open his can. “Alright, don’t judge me for being a pushover or anything like that, but as long as Lakes is cool with it, I’m fine with you two getting each other off. Hands, mouths, whatever.”

“Fucking?”

Jed takes a minute to think about it. “Not yet. Not…we’re not there yet. Fuck, do I have the right to say that? Lakes?”

I might have jumped into bed with Jed pretty fast way back when we first met, but sex wasn’t the first thing we did. It took trust and experimenting to get there, and that’s how I want it to be with Kade, too. I don’t see sex as some act bigger than foreplay, like fuck, it’s more intimate to me to have their faces in my snatch than their dicks, but I am a fan of one step at a time. This is uncharted territory with two brothers, whose relationship with one another I absolutely do not want to destroy.

“I’m okay with that. Kade?”

“Yeah, fuck,” he says, nodding. “Yeah. You’re sure you want me…?”

“Uh, yes.” I roll my eyes. “Stop looking at it like you’re interfering. You aren’t. We’re asking you in. The three of us…together.”

“I want to say sorry, but I won’t,” Kade says, grinning. “It’s a fucked up feeling. I feel like I sulked around for a year until you guys gave in and I got my way.” He laughs, and then he laughs even harder when Jed splashes him.

“You whiney fuck!”

“Why are you so cool with this?” Kade asks Jed.

Jed leans back. “Because I think Mom was right.”

“About what?” I ask.

“That’s between us right now, Bossy.” Kade gives me a look, telling me to give them time. Fair enough.

“Okay, but this involves me, too.”

“We know that. But you’re better at thinking than we are.”

“No, I’m not. I’m better at processing.”

“Exactly,” Kade laughs.

Their mom was right? About them both wanting to be with me in different ways? My stomach tightens and my swallow of beer gets caught up on the nerves in my throat. I hope they do because I want them both in different ways. A relationship with Kade will be entirely different from a relationship with Jed, and I’m looking forward to both of them, even if it makes me selfishly slutty. It’s not just sex I’m after. But what I’m more excited about is the family dynamic between the three of us. We’re all in this together, and even though it’s awkward and unconventional, us three share a bond that ties us together differently than I’ve ever been tied to anyone. I feel it, and I think they both feel it, too. Their brotherly love adds something deeper here, and although that part is definitely not sexual, it’s a depth that feels right.

“Okay, fuck it,” Jed says. “Maeve isn’t here. This is our first time being drunk and horny on our own…let’s just fucking do it.”

“Do what?” Kade asks. “What am I allowed to…?”

“I’ll fuck her from behind, and she’ll suck your cock. Sorted. Let’s go.”

I raise a brow at both of them. “I get no say in this?”

Jed smirks at me like the cocky bitch he is. “Stop pretending you don’t want it, love. We can read between all your lines.”
