“Don’t worry,” Ciaran said. “I don’t think you two are going to ambush me in my room and have your way with me.”
“Good.”
“I have a question, though.”
“Shoot,” Teddy said.
“Would I be someone you would normally play with?”
Teddy watched him. It appeared to be a loaded question. “I’ll be honest,” Teddy said. “You’re the type of guy we look for when we want to play. We like bears like us.”
“Ah,” Ciaran said. “But…what about me specifically?” His face reddened.
He is fucking adorable.
“Ciaran,” Teddy paused. “We both find you attractive. If you weren’t staying with us, we might. That’s the best answer I can give.”
“Thank you for being honest.”
“You’re welcome.”
When they finished cleaning up, the three men decided to soak in the hot tub.
“You get changed and we’ll meet you out there,” Teddy said.
When Ciaran was out of the living room, Teddy sat next to Geoff on the couch. “I see what you mean.” He kissed him on the cheek. “There is something about him.”
“I know, and I can’t put my finger on it,” Geoff said.
“He asked me point-blank if he was someone we’d play with.”
“What did you tell him?”
“The truth,” Teddy said. “That he was someone we would play with under normal circumstances.”
“What about these circumstances?”
“I wouldn’t say no.”
“I wouldn’t either.” Geoff let out a breath. “Do you want to play with him?”
“I do,” Teddy said. “He’s cute, sweet, and exactly our type.”
“Do you want to ask him?”
“I think we should let things progress slowly. We can talk more and decide. I don’t want to make him or us uncomfortable. We’re in new territory here.”
“That sounds reasonable.”
They changed and found Ciaran standing next to the hot tub, bottled water in hand.
The three men stepped into the tub and sank in. Geoff and Teddy sat on one side, with Ciaran on the other.
“I need one of these,” Ciaran said.
“Then get one,” Teddy said.
Ciaran laughed. “I live in a one-bedroom apartment. I don’t have room for a hot tub.”
