Page 98 of Cam's Treasure

After a long discussion that revealed we had very different tastes in movies, Kai had suggested we set up a bowl for the future where we'd each add a post-it note with a movie we wanted to watch, and then we could pick one of the notes whenever we wanted to watch something together. I had a feeling Cam would find a way to cheat, but it was the best idea we had.

For now, we'd settled on a movie Kai picked, an action flick with lots of gunshots and violence, and I looked forward to my turn so I could pick something a little less...bloody.

We ordered pizzaandChinese for dinner, and ate as we watched, Kai and Cam cheering every time the bad guy was defeated while Ember and I spent more time watching them than we did watching the movie.

As I ate and just enjoyed being around my mates, I realized once again how baseless my fears had been. How could I have ever thought these men would steal Cam from me? Now that I had Ember and Kai, I couldn't imagine my life without them. I'd thought my life was complete with Cam, but I could tell now that they filled a place in my heart that maybe hadn't been open until they showed up. It was like my heart had grown to make space for them, but at the same time it would've been incomplete without them. I'd needed to find Kai and Ember to be my best self, and my best self was a man who was very nearly in love with three wonderful men.

Kai

I'd never thought about how lonely it was to sleep alone until the first night I slept with my mates. I'd crawled into their bed after a nightmare, and they'd welcomed me with open arms, cocooning me in their warmth until nothing could touch me.

I'd been alone for most of my adult life, and I hadn't minded. Or maybe I had, but I just hadn't allowed myself to accept that. Maybe that was why it'd been so easy for Osric to trick me. Maybe I'd been desperate for company without ever realizing it.

I wasn't alone now, though. I had three amazing mates who made me feel like I was the luckiest man alive.

Jodi hopped onto the bed before my mates could join me, and I laughed as I pulled her close, scrunching my nose when she started licking my cheek. As much as I loved her, Jodi was a big dog with a big, drooly tongue, and the feel of dog saliva on my cheek made me cringe a little. Still, I didn't push her away, and waited until she'd flopped on her side beside me before reaching for some wet wipes and wiping at my cheek.

"Looks like Jodi gave you another wash," Cam teased as he stepped out of the bathroom, water dripping down his bare chest as he toweled his hair. I almost swallowed my tongue as I stared at his bare skin, and he chuckled, the sound making my dick twitch. "See something you like, Kai?"

I licked my lips, then glanced up at his face. "Maybe."

His grin widened, and he threw the towel over the back of a chair before stalking over to the bed without wiping the rest of him. Climbing onto the bed on his knees, he came closer, pausing when his knees brushed my thigh.

Wait, both of you. We need to have a talk first.

Cam and I blinked at each other in unison at Micah's voice in our heads, and then Cam sat back on his heels, a confused look on his face as worry filled me. Had I done something wrong? Messed up somehow?

No one did anything wrong. Micah stepped out of the bathroom right after he said that, Ember at his heels, and then they both joined us on the bed.

"What is it?" I asked, too worried to be patient.

"It's nothing bad, I promise. I just thought that since there are four of us, we should have a discussion about what we're okay doing one on one, or if there are things we'd rather only do when it's all four of us, things like that," Micah explained, and I blinked. That made sense.

"Oh, dates!" Cam piped up, raising his hand as if this was a human classroom. "We'll only go on fancy dates, or any kind of dates that require preparation, really, when it's all four of us. So movies and home dates or hangouts are okay, but going out for dinner isn't."

"I like that," Ember said, and I nodded in agreement.

"And if only one of us isn't here?" I asked, and Cam hummed thoughtfully.

"Maybe the others could text that person and ask? I mean, I don't think there will be a lot of occasions where only one of us goes somewhere, so maybe we can leave it on a case-by-case basis?" Ember suggested, and that sounded good to me.

"What about sex? What can we do or not do if it's just two or three of us?" Cam questioned.

As one, we all looked to Micah for answers, who blinked. Why he was surprised, I didn't know.

"Uh..." Micah hesitated, then shook his head, his expression clearing as he got that 'I'm in control' look he had when we were intimate. "Okay, kissing, frotting, blowjobs are all okay, but I think we should save penetration for when we're all together.Over time, we can talk about it again if things change, or if we don't like these boundaries."

"Sounds good," I said instantly, and the others nodded, making Micah smile.

"Okay, good."

We discussed a few other things, like if any of us had any triggers or things we'd rather not do.

Micah didn't like his back being touched during sex. My mind flashed back to the scars I'd noticed on his back, and the way he'd explained in a monotone voice that it was from torture at the hands of his jailers. If his request came from a place of self-consciousness, I would've pushed, but I didn't because I knew it was because the scars reminded him of a time in his life he didn't want intruding in our moments.

Ember didn't like receiving blowjobs, and while I would've loved to have his big cock in my mouth someday, I respected his limits.

At some point during our conversation, we'd climbed under the covers, and as we talked about things we might want to try someday, and as Cam's ideas got crazier and crazier, I found myself slowly drifting off to sleep, comfortable and at ease surrounded by men I trusted with my life and with my heart.
