“Fuck off,” I grumbled, trying to shove them away from me again. With so much of my life in their hands, surely I could figure this one thing out on my own. I wanted to prove that I could do at least one fucking thing by myself. I depended on them for literally everything at this point, which meant the balance sheet was not balancing. Not that anyone aside from me was keeping score. Regardless, the least I could do was hold myself up while fucking ice skating.
Immature?Probably. A petty hill to die on? Most definitely, but oh well.
"Here, let me." Law reached for me, a gentle offer to help.
My stubborn attitude melted away. Damn him and his slutty hand veins.
He pulled me with him and seemed to glide effortlessly across the ice as I stumbled along, trying to keep up. I felt safe in his firm grip; he had a natural grace about him, and he guided me with ease.
My mood shifted as our bodies moved in tandem, even more so when I noticed Alec across the rink. He leaned against the railing, watching us with a look of pure joy on his face.
I wanted to kiss him.
Both of them, actually.
My heart was too full and maybe I was crazy, but I was past caring.
We made our way back across the ice, my hand still intertwined with his. Once we were close enough to Alec, though, I felt a sudden rush of boldness and let go of Law’s safety line. I flung myself towards Alec with reckless abandon and plowed into his waiting arms, our faces barely an inch apart from the force of it.
Giggling, I closed the remaining distance between us and kissed him. It was a quick, gentle peck that still somehow left me lightheaded. For a moment, panic set in as I wondered if Law would be jealous or angry, but all of my worries melted away when he barreled into us. His goofy grin filled me with heat as he grasped my face in his large palm and smacked a kiss on my lips too.
I blushed, now shying away from both of them.
“Oh no, you don’t,” Alec said, tilting my face back to his, forcing me to look at him.
I smiled sheepishly, scrunching my nose up. I had next to no real experience with men—apart from Ijah—andthatwas nothing likethis. My experience with Mattia wasn’t even on my radar because it was in no way a loving or healthy relationship. It wasn’t even really a relationship at all.
Sure, a small kiss was probably nothing to either of them, but in a way, it was everything to me.
It was the affection I’d been lacking and desperately craved, and now I had it times two.
I wanted more.
“Wanna trade secrets?” I blurted out.Smooth, Hunt.But the reality was, we were on uneven footing. They knew every part of me and I wanted a little piece of them in return.
They both looked at me expectantly, so I guess that meant I would be going first. Great.
I’m a big brave dog, I’m a big brave dog.
“I’m having so much fun, and I’m so glad you guys brought me here…”
“But?” Law prompted, banding an arm around my waist and pulling my body flush with his. He pressed his hard length into my back. The rumble of his chest against my shoulder made my mouth dry out.
Suddenly, I couldn’t find the words I’d been about to say, my thoughts turning to other moreunsavorythings.
“I…”
“Youwhat?” Alec said, closing the distance between us, crowding me against Law.
“I want you,” I said quickly before I could lose my nerve. “Bothof you,” I added. “And, I’m sober this time. Scout’s honor.” I held up three fingers.
“Mmm,” Alec hummed, both of them waiting for me to say more.
“I have for a while now, and I wish more than anything we were back home, cuddled up on the couch together so I could kiss you how I really want to.”
There was an expectant pause, and I couldn’t take the waiting for more than a few seconds. “Your turn,” I said, hoping to spur them on.
Law leaned down until his mouth was hot against my ear, “My secret is that the back seat of Alec’s SUV is plenty big enough formeto kissyouhowIwant, so we don’t even have to wait until we’re home on the couch.”
