“We could.” Nova smiled at Sol. “Come on, let's shower and hopefully get you back in bed.”

“Ok, thank you for a great day,” Sol said, waving as she went down the hall.

“Sorry, she woke up and I knew she wouldn't go back down.” Nova looked nervous.

“It’s ok,” Colt said standing up. “Come over for dinner tomorrow.”

“I work at the bar tomorrow,” she said. “I picked up a couple more shifts so we could go to the festival.”

She didn’t look at us, finding the floor better to look at.

“Tell us when you have the evening off and we can make dinner, give you some time to relax,” I said, walking to her. “You need a break, not even dislocating your shoulder was excuse enough to get you to stop.”

“I don’t have the luxury of stopping,” she sighed.

“Take one night.” Theo came to us. “Let us help you.”

“We can make dinner, and you can sit down with your feet up,” Colt said right behind me. “No excuses, we better see you at the house one day this week or I will come over here and throw you over my shoulder and drag you to our home.”

She shivered, biting her lip, nodding.

“Good night,” I said first, kissing her quickly.

Colt kissed her forehead and Theo, well Theo had to outdo all of us again. He opened her mouth with his tongue as he deepened the kiss. They looked great together, instantly making me hard. What would it be like to have her writhing for us in the middle of our bed as we gave her multiple orgasms?

“Good night,” Theo murmured against her lips.

“Uh huh,” Nova said, looking a little flushed.

We walked out, got into the car and headed home. The drive was quiet, and the silence continued as we got ready for bed. It wasn’t until we laid down in the dark that we spoke.

“Are we sure we want to do this?” Colt said first.

Theo tensed next to me.

“Are you having second thoughts?” I asked, as I grabbed Theo’s hands.

“No, well, maybe,” Colt sighed. “I’m just worried that we are not thinking this through. It’s not just Nova we are pursuing but it’s Sol too, and the last thing I want to do is get her hopes high. She’s never had a father figure and I’m worried that….”

Colt stopped speaking.

“I think that’s why we need to talk to Nova, maybe she can guide us on what to do,” Theo said. “That’s if she says yes. We would need to follow her lead because you’re right, we need to be careful with Sol, too.”

“She already adores you guys and maybe we just keep the same level of interaction,” I added.

“I’m just worried that if we continue, we have two hearts to consider. I know what it’s like to get excited at the possibility of getting a dad and I just don’t want that heartache to happen to Sol,” Colt said softly. “It feels like rejection, and she might feel that rejection times three.”

I hadn’t thought of it like that and my heart broke. Colt was speaking from experience, and I hated that he had had to go through that. We lay in silence.

“Let’s just think about her too, please,” Colt finally said.

I turned to Colt, pulling him to me.

“I love you, Colt, and your big softie heart,” I said, as he laid on my chest.

“Don’t tell anyone, it might ruin my reputation.” He nuzzled my chest.

“No one would believe us.” Theo turned towards us, throwing an arm around my waist holding onto Colt.
