“You could help. Both of you. It would be your home, too. The three of us can figure it out. What do you think?”
“You don’t think it’s too soon?” Erin asked him. “We’ve only been a committed throuple for a few months.”
Dylan continued, “Baby, we missed seventeen years.”
“Okay, but?—”
“I don’t want to miss any more. Doesn’t this feel right?”
“Yes, but…” She glanced over at Ford.
Ford picked up from there. “I just want to be clear… If you’re only including me to keep Erin…”
Dylan scoffed, “Come on now, you should know by now that’s not it.”
“Then, what is it?” Ford still sounded skeptical.
But he should. Moving in together would be a big step and it would definitely spur a flurry of rumors in town.
No, it would no longer be rumors but fact. Any rumors about them would finally be proven right.
“Here’s the truth...” Dylan pulled in a long, deep breath. “When you two aren’t here, I feel something is missing.” Hepatted his bare chest over his heart. “In here. But it hit me the other day, that emptiness disappears whenever I see one of you. Even from a distance.”
“I mean, I feel that way, too,” Erin said. “I count the minutes until we’re all together again. And it has nothing to do with sex.”
Ford leaned over to place a kiss on the tip of her nose. “Same. But I also look forward to the sex.”
She laughed. “Well, of course, the sex is great. I was a little worried that being with two Doms would be too much for me. But you two work so well together; something else I didn’t expect.”
“Same,” Ford repeated. “I thought Dylan would be too stubborn to bend.”
“Over,” Erin added on a giggle.
“I wouldn’t bend over for anyone but you,” Dylan told Ford.
“Or me,” Erin said.
“The only way I’d bend over for you is if Ford ordered you to…” His eyebrows rose. “Have you two been making plans?”
Ford laughed. “I’m always planning. I can be out working on a fence line and something for us to try will pop in my head.”
“And pop in your pants?” Erin teased.
“Sometimes it’s convenient to work alone.”
“Oh, then maybe I need to come out to wherever you are to check on your work. Just to make sure it’s up to standards so I can head off any complaints before they roll in.”
“Anytime. But you don’t need that excuse, darlin’.”
“If you’re going out to check hiswork,” Dylan said, “you need to clear it with the boss first.”
Erin grinned. “So you can supervise?”
“Of course,” he answered in a serious tone. “Okay, so… Thoughts?”
“About sex during the workday? I’m all for it. Sounds like a great job perk,” Ford said.
Erin giggled.
