Their communication and willingness to make it work only made me want them even more. They gave me hope that this might actually work.

Theo,Colt and I never really dated, we went from friends to lovers to partners in a matter of weeks. While we did get to know each other, we never really did the whole dating thing. So, this date with Nova fulfilled a part of me I didn’t know I had been missing.

“Well, how did you meet?” Nova asked, as she twirled her fork with pasta.

I looked at Theo and Colt barely able to hide my smile.

Nova looked between us. “This looks like a good story.”

“Colt and I met on a hook-up app, fucked my brains out and I met Theo in college,” Atlas said. “He saw me getting roughed up by a few players and stepped in.”

“So, you got fucked and then saved,” Nova smirked. “Sounds like a great meet-cute.”

I laughed as Theo shook his head and Colt chuckled.

“Well, after the meet-cute, they really saved me,” I said, getting serious. “It was late at night when these guys decided to fuck with me again.”

“They cornered him and tried to…” Colt’s voice trailed off.

“What the fuck?” Nova snarled.

“I was really young when I went to college and medical school, so I was always an easy target.” I shrugged and took a bite of my food.

“They were closeted assholes,” Colt growled.

“So, Theo and Colt taught them a lesson,” I said, looking at my men.

“Colt did most of the teaching, I hit one guy and then made sure Atlas was ok,” Theo said.

“You look like a lover instead of a fighter.” Nova grinned at him.

“I’m an exceptional lover,” Theo flirted back.

Nova's eyes grew wide as she blushed. “So, after that, you guys banged it out?”

I shook my head, chuckling.

“After that, I would walk him everywhere I could and at night Colt would pick him up,” Theo said. “I would see Colt around and I started saying hello. I pushed myself to talk to him more and he never judged me.”

“Then one night, Theo joined us and surprised the hell out of us by kissing us,” Colt chuckled. “He said he liked us and maybe we could hang out and have sex next time.”

“Theo!” Nova looked shocked.

“I was attracted to them, and I thought telling them was the best plan of action,” Theo shrugged.

I loved his honesty.

“This quiet guy asking to sleep with us was adorable and I thought, fuck it.” I looked over at Theo. “Surprisingly, we had to convince Colt for a threesome. Our bad boy was more reserved, he watched us until he snapped and well, we all had sex together. Little did we know we popped Theo’s cherry on many things that night.”

“Wow, I didn't expect Theo to be the one to bring you guys together,” Nova said, pushing her plate away.

“I know what I want.” Theo shrugged, glancing at Nova.

I should have seen it for what it was worth. He had always been interested in her, he was quiet and shy until he wasn’t.
