“So, it would just be us three?” Ciaran asked.
“That’s right,” Geoff confirmed.
“How would the sleeping arrangements work?”
They grinned; both men looked on the verge of laughing.
“I’m serious,” Ciaran said. “How would that work?”
“However we want it to,” Geoff said. “We all slept in the same bed and were fine. Didn’t you say you slept better than you had in a while?”
“True,” Ciaran acknowledged. “So, we’d just sleep in the bed together?”
“Why not?” Teddy asked. “I can’t tell you how amazing it felt to be held while holding someone. I loved it.”
They all smiled.
“Unless one of us is sick,” Geoff said. “Even one of us will sleep in the guest room if the other one sounds like they’re hacking up a lung.”
They all laughed.
“What other rules or boundaries do we want to discuss?” Ciaran asked.
One plagued his mind. Would they have sex without him, or with him and not the other?
“Is there something on your mind?” Teddy asked.
“Sex between us,” Ciaran wondered. “Do you want to have sex without me?”
“That’s something we should discuss,” Geoff agreed. “How would that make you feel?”
“I don’t know,” Ciaran said. “I know you guys are having sex without me now, but if I’m part of the relationship, how would that affect it?”
“That’s what we’ll have to discuss,” Geoff reassured him.
“I don’t mind you guys having sex without me,” Ciaran said.
Teddy looked at Geoff. “Would you be okay if Ciaran and I had sex without you?”
“I’d be okay with it,” Geoff said. “If we’re in a committed relationship with each other, and none of us is sleeping with other people outside of the relationship, I don’t see a problem. Especially if I’m not in the mood.”
“I agree,” Teddy concurred. “What do you think?” He looked over at Ciaran.
“Well, I wouldn’t be jealous if you two had sex, because I know you already do. So, I’m okay with it.”
“Glad we have that settled.” Geoff smiled.
“Anything else?” Teddy asked.
“I can’t think of anything right now,” Ciaran said.
“So? What do you think?” Geoff asked.
“I think I want to give this a try.” Ciaran grinned. “You guys make me so happy. I want to try this.”
“Great!” Teddy smiled. “Now come over here and let’s all hug.”
The three men got up and held one another. Ciaran already felt loved like he never had before.Thiswas what he’d wanted his whole life. He just never thought it would be with two men.
