Then Nick broke into a big grin. “I’m kidding. No one involved will care—in fact they might get a kick out of this.”

“Okay, now youhaveto share.” Kaden arched an eyebrow.

Nick smiled. “I’ve never been with a man before.”

“Yeah, I got that.” Kaden snickered. “But you sure jumped into the deep end.”

“I want to say curiosity, but it’s more than that.” Nick snagged Kaden’s hand and placed in on my belly so he could hold it and caress me at the same time.

I was unbelievably touched by this small but meaningful gesture.

“So…Evan.” He laughed. “Evan is the brattiest of brats. And loves pain. He’s a huge masochist.”

“Okay.” We hadn’t even begun to talk pain…but I was damn curious.

“Anyway, I’d watched him around Club Kink for some time. We even played together—but a straight pain scene. I inflict, he enjoys, we go on our ways.”

“Is that fun?” Kaden scrunched his nose.

“If both partners agree to the parameters ahead of time? Absolutely. We all have different kinks. Sometimes my sadistic streak is stronger—tying someone up for pleasure isn’t enough.”

“You need to inflict pain?” Again, my curiosity was in high gear.

“To be clear—I neverhaveto hurt someone. That’s all negotiated ahead of time and if I can’t find a willing partner, that’s fine. Just…sometimes my needs align. A few times they aligned with Evan.”

“But you never had sex with him.”

“Nope. Although…” His grin turned wicked. “I was tempted. I’m not as straight as I portray myself. I’ve always been bi-curious. If Evan ever gave me an indication of being interested in something sexual, I probably would’ve propositioned him. Or, hell, knowing him, he would’ve propositioned me. And I would’ve said yes.”

“Might you proposition him now?” Kaden tightened his grip. “Now that you know…”

“How fucking awesome sex with a guy is?”

Kaden’s cheeks pinkened.

Nick laughed. A fully belly laugh. “I think Mistress Kate and Master Dante might have words with me.”

“Say what?” Finally, I had to speak.

“Well, I’m certain if I wanted to do a straight scene with Evan that Dante and Kate would likely allow it. They’d never deprive Evan of something he wants. These days, though, with two Dominants, he’s pretty much getting all his needs met.”

“Two Dominants…” I squinted. “How does that work?”

“With plenty of open and frank discussions.”

“Oh.” I tried to wrap my mind around this. “So…” Nope. Couldn’t do it.

“Well, Kate and Dante were rivals at first. Both wanted Evan and neither wanted to share.”

“What did Evan want?” Kaden asked the question quietly.

“Both of them.” Nick chuckled. “And what Evan wants, he usually gets. Now, to be clear, if they weren’t all in agreement,the triad never would’ve happened. And Evan’s confided there are plenty of contracts and agreements. But I have to say I’ve never seen the three of them happier.”

I chuckled. “And you’re suggesting there might be a way for the three of us to be together without you guys pissing on my leg?”

“Ew.” Kaden lightly smacked my belly. “That’s gross.”

Nick nodded. “Yeah. Plus, there are likely going to be times when you want to be in charge.”
