Skylar was going to be theirs.

CHARLIE

CHARLIE FELT like his heart was going to beat right out of his chest.

The two long, frustrating, worrisome months of waiting were finally over. His Sky had healed. Was safe and healthy and all better. Charlie had enjoyed having sex with Ward in the meantime—more than enjoyed, truth be told—but it wasn't the same. It wasn't right without Skylar.

And now? His Sky was finally going to be with them again. And even better! They'd get to be inside Skylar without condoms.

The thought alone made Charlie feel dizzy. What would the reality of it do to him?

Charlie covered his ears. Everything was so loud. His heartbeat boomed, and all their panted breaths seemed more like screams. A wrinkle in the sheets felt like a boulder.

He'd been aching for this for weeks, but now that they were finally here, Charlie wasn't sure he'd be able to get through it.

Ward ran a hand down his back. “Easy, little mouse,” he murmured. “Look at Daddy.”

Charlie looked at him. Really looked. He even managed to make eye-contact for a moment, seeing the gentle concern on Ward's face.

“Breathe with me,” Ward softly ordered. “Nice and easy.”

Charlie stared at Ward's chest, focusing on that as he took a deep breath. Watching Ward made it so much easier. Something about the man made lots of loud things start to fade away.

“That's it,” Ward murmured. “That's my good boy. And again.”

Charlie took another slow, deep breath. Everything still felt itchy and stabbing and deafening, but it was a little bit easier to handle.

Ward gave him a soft, lingering kiss. “I know this is going to be full of loud feelings for you,” he murmured. “So we'll go real slow, okay? We can take our time. But first…” He looked at Skylar, trapped beneath both of them. They were practically crushing him.

At least, Charlie was. He couldn't even remember how they wound up like that, with Skylar pressed down on his back while he and Ward hovered over him.

“Sky?” Ward whispered. “You okay, kitten?”

Skylar let out a shuddering breath. “Yeah.”

“Are you ready for this? Do you want this?”

Skylar nodded.

“We need words, sweetheart,” Ward gently ordered. “We need to hear your permission.”

Charlie gasped. He'd forgotten to ask for permission! Everything had been so loud and desperate and overwhelming, he hadn't even thought about it.

“Shhh,” Ward murmured, running a hand through Charlie's hair before gently grabbing Skylar by the chin. “What do you want?”

Skylar panted. “I want you both to come inside me,” he blurted out in a breathless rush.

Ward smiled. “Okay.” He shifted aside. “Charlie? Come here, little mouse.”

Charlie blinked.Me?he signed.

“Yeah.” Ward gently guided him on top of Skylar. “You've been so good through all this. So very patient. Besides, you two deserve to share this first together.”

“Hhnn?”
