Page 124 of Finding Their Place

I’d seen it—

Now, I’ve heard it.

Unease began to twine around my guts regardless of Haley allowing me inside her body without a condom, and I shifted out of an instinctive need to protect myself.

Garrett’s vise-like hands grasped my hips, holding me still.

Haley laid her palm against my chest, right above my heart.

Both sets of eyes roamed my face as though seeking out my thoughts.

“You belong with us,” Haley stated firmly, the heat of her hand, the press of her fingertips on my skin seeming to mark me clear through to my soul.

“Maybe we weren’t persuasive enough?” Garrett suggested, a smirk curling up one corner of his mouth before he sucked his lower lip between his teeth. “What do we need to do to make you realize that you’re under our skin? In our heads—our hearts?”

“It’s too soon,” I tossed out what my mind grasped at—what my conscience assured me of. There was no fucking way they felt for me what they did for each other after a few short weeks.

“Is it?” Haley asked, her voice soft and soothing. She moved her hot touch off my chest, her fingers peeling mine from the sheet. Grasping the back of my hand, she lifted my palm, placing it over her heart. “Feel that?”

Holding her stare, the dark eyes I wanted to fall into, I nodded.

“It’s split in two.”

I blinked, thinking she’d been hurt—

“One half belongs to Garrett. The other to you,” she whispered, stopping the way my mind had gone. “I don’t know how, can’t explain it, but you’re…a part of me. A piece of home I hadn’t realized I’d been missing. You’re security—the perfect line the two of us needed to create beauty where a whole lot of rot existed before this began.”

We were covered in sweat and cum, but I didn’t give a shit. Tears welled my eyes, and I pulled them both up beside me in a tangle of limbs.

“I—I have to tell you what happened yesterday.” I swallowed hard, and holding their hands, I shared with them the story of a little boy who’d had his heart broken—but how the man had come to realize that he’d already found his place and no longer needed to go searching for more.

We showered together, cramped in Haley’s bathroom, but none of us were willing to let the other go. Giggles and full-on laughter accompanied my sudsy, slick attempts at cleaning them both from heads to toes.

At least things didn’t progress into a sexy feast of body parts.

There was no goddamn space to maneuver.

I had plenty of room in my house though, a big enough shower for the three of us to get feisty and fuck whenever the hell we wanted.

We stripped Haley’s queen-sized bed, put on a fresh set of sheets, and they ended up cuddling the hell out of me. I had so much love and affection to lavish them with, and they gave themselves to me, showing me all I’d been missing. With her AC window unit cranked to high and no blankets atop us, we managed to enjoy the warmth of one another without overheating.

Lingering kisses, a few wandering hands with loving caresses, and I ordered them both to sleep.

On my back, staring at the dark ceiling I couldn’t quite make out, I hugged Garrett against my left, his hot breath ghosting over my chest. Haley snuggled into my right, her small hand tangled with Garrett’s atop my heart, her hair a wild, damp mess cascading over my shoulder.

We all smelled like her bodywash—herbs and flowers, a soothing scent that filled my lungs and pulled me into oblivion with a smile on my face.

Wet suction on my dick roused me back to reality.

Early morning sunlight streamed around the edges of Haley’s blinds. She still clung to me, her breaths steady and even.

Garrett had made himself at home a bit lower, using my body to satisfy his oral fixation.

“Run out of lollipops?” I asked, my voice hoarse from sleep.

“Mmm.” He swirled his tongue around my swelling head, his tongue dipping into my slit. “I like the taste of you better.”

I groaned, and Haley stirred against me. She stretched.
