“Is this about us playing last night?”

“Sort of,” I answered. “I guess I’m struggling a little because you both seem interested in me and I don’t know how to unpack that. Am—am I right about that?”

“Yes,” they answered in unison.

“I’ve wanted you since I first saw you dancing with Shelby,” Thomas explained. “Shelby caught my attention when she came to the club the first time with Raven.”

“Really?” she asked. “I’d been lying if I said I didn’t find you hot.”

“Well, I’m grateful for that,” he laughed. “This would be awkward otherwise.”

“Guys,” I interjected. “What is this?”

“I’m guessing that’s the reason we’re here,” Shelby answered. “Let me lay it out for you from my perspective. I want you and I want Thomas. I want to play… I want to fuck you both.”

“Wow. That’s?—”

“Bold,” Thomas said. “It makes it easier for me. I feel the same way. Kenley, have you ever been with two people?”

“No,” I answered quietly. “I’m not even sure how that would work. Do we take turns with each other?”

“Sometimes,” Shelby answered. “Other times it would be all three of us, right Thomas?”

“Exactly. There’s no right or wrong answer to that, Kenley. It’s something the three of us would work out together. Before we get to that point, though, you need to decide whether this is something you want. There’s no point going into detail if you don’t want this.”

“He’s right. Kenley, you know where we both stand. What are your concerns?”

“Aren’t you afraid to share? What if someone feels jealous? How would play even work? Would I be a sub to both of you? Would we both be subs, Shelby, because I know Thomas is a Dom. Would this be a full-time relationship?”

“Whoa, take a breath,” Thomas chuckled. “One thing at a time, yeah? Jealousy is a risk in any ménage relationship. It can take some getting used to. Growing pains, so to speak. If someone is feeling jealous, a conversation has to take place. I think it’s normal for it to happen from time to time but if it’s constant, it’s a sign that things aren’t meant to be.”

“He’s right. It’s something we probably won’t know until we try. As for how play works, I doubt it will always be the same. We may play one on one. Two of us may play while the other watches. All three of us could play. We decide how it works as time goes on.”

“I guess I’m not sure how it would work if all three of us played,” I said, still unsure.

“Kenley, I’m a switch,” Shelby explained. “Sometimes I would be a Domme and sometimes I would be a sub along with you. It would really just depend on our moods.”

“I guess I’m just not sure how I would handle that.”

“The only way to know is to try it,” Thomas said. “It would be new for me as well. I’ve had two subs but I haven’t played with a switch before.”

“Aw, you’re a switch virgin,” Shelby teased. “Do I get to pop your cherry?”

“Very funny,” he deadpanned. “What do you think, Kenley?”

“I—I think I’d like to try it. But I’m not sleeping with you,” I rushed out.

“That’s something else you need to know. The BDSM and intimate sides of things are equally important. If either are incompatible, the relationship isn’t going to work,” Shelby offered. “It’s fine to just try play and take it from there. There is absolutely no pressure from me. Thomas?”

“Exactly. No pressure. We can set up a time to meet in my room at the club and just take it from there.”

“Okay. Let’s do this,” I said with false confidence.

I can’t believe I’m going to do this. My life is about to change completely.

THOMAS
