Mostly, I worried I’d be the odd man out. Zach and Daniel had history with everyone. All I had was shared DNA with Chase.
“By that logic, the same could be said for Matt and Brandon or Jayden and Chase,” Zach argued. “I don't want to be frozen in place by the what ifs anymore. I’ve lived my entire life that way. I want to do this, and I want to be with the two of you.”
That was oddly sweet. But I wasn't going to give in to him that easily. I glanced around to make sure we wouldn't traumatize anyone who might be on the path behind us before coming to a stop, tugging Zach back against me.
“But what happens next year when you’ve both graduated and I’m still in school?” I asked. I’d spent a lot of those nights alone, trying to imagine how we’d manage once they jumped into the real world and I was still living in Talbert. I had three long ass years left without them, and it wasn’t fair of me to expect them to wait.
“You’re getting ahead of yourself,” Zach scolded me. “If we’re still together by graduation and we all fall madly in love with each other, we’ll figure that out. Otherwise, you’ll be able to spread your wings, and find the next repressed gay boy in need of rescuing. Either way, if that’s what’s holding you back, you need to let that shit go. We’re wasting valuable opportunities to get laid.”
Again, if only it was that simple… At first, I’d told myself I only wanted to get off with these two hot men, but now I wanted more. I wanted Zach to trust me enough to show his vulnerable side. I wanted to be the one Daniel used to explore his controlling side. I wanted more quiet afternoons in the park, evenings staying in watching movies, and late nights naked, squeezed into a bed that was barely big enough for one of us.
“Is that all you want?” I asked, unwilling to tip my hand. Not every man was looking for a relationship. Hell,Ihadn’t been looking for a relationship. The desire sort of snuck up on me. “We need to make sure everyone is on the same page here.”
“I, for one, don’t want it to just be sex,” Daniel admitted. I breathed out a sigh of relief that he and I were on the same page, even though I already knew that. “And all of us together is great but, unless one of you has a problem with it, I don’t think it’s feasible for us to say we allhaveto be there all the time.”
“Agreed.” I looked to Zach, trying to gauge his thoughts since he was still tight lipped. “I mean, if I’m working or studying, I don’t want the two of you feeling like you have to keep your hands off one another, or thinking I’m going to be pissed if you go out to dinner without me.”
“Exactly.” Daniel stepped in front of Zach, taking his other hand. “What do you say, Zach? Is that too much for you?”
“Fuck no,” Zach scoffed. “I want all of it. I’ll probably be shit at it, but that doesn’t mean I want you two any less. Now, can wepleasebe done with talking? I thought date night was code for sex.”
“If we’re not doing what you want, I think you need to tell us what you need, invery explicitdetails,” I teased, trying to pull us out of the serious conversation now that things seemed to be settled. The only way we could be certain we weren’t pushing Zach further than he was ready to go at this point, was to encourage him to open up to us. “Don't pussyfoot around.”
Zach's shoulders hitched up under his ears and his breathing grew shallow. If we were someplace private, I'd be stripping him out of his clothes as he worked up the courage to tell me what he wanted us to do to him. “I want to try everything with you. I want to find out what I've been missing.”
It didn't take long for Daniel to get in on the act. He stepped up behind Zach so the two of us caged him in. He nipped at Zach's ear. “We can be a little slow sometimes,” he teased Zach. “
“If I tell you, does that mean we can skip dinner and go back to the suite?” I swatted Zach’s hand away when he tried cupping his dick. “Please, Colin. I just want to adjust it.”
“No,” I barked out, then flicked open the button on his jeans, reaching in to grab his dick. “We’re the only ones who get to touch this. If you want to jerk off or do anything other than shake it after taking a leak, you need to ask ahead of time.”
“But what if you’re not home?” he protested. “What if the two of you are on a date and I get worked up thinking about what you’re doing? Can I touch it then?”
“No.” His mouth dropped, and his head fell to the side when Daniel started sucking on his neck. He slipped his hands under Zach’s shirt. “You’ll just have to wait for us to get home so we can take care of you.”
“Come on, can wepleasego back to the suite? I’m not hungry anymore,” he whined.
“We’re going to dinner and you’re going to be civilized. Thursday night, we’ll have the suite to ourselves and, if you behave now, I promise you’ll be grateful when there’s no one around to hear you scream.” I felt Daniel's hand press between my body and Zach’s.
His hand covered mine and we began caressing Zach’s dick, not nearly hard enough to give him the release he hoped for. Wrapping his other arm around both of us, Daniel pulled me against Zach’s chest. This new position made it possible for him to torment both of us at the same time.
Zach and I both moaned as Daniel started squeezing and stroking. His attention may have been on the man in between us but, damn, if it didn't feel like he was working to get me off as well. I wasn't sure who was leading us when we began moving as a unit, but I followed, not wanting to lose the pressure against my groin. We stepped off the paved trail onto one that was little more than compacted leaves and weeds.
“Someone told me about this place last year,” Daniel explained as he led us further off the designated path. “The only people who ever come back here are guys like us.”
“You mean it's a hookup spot?” I’d heard about them, but I didn’t realize guys actually still went in the woods to have sex. It was the sort of thing that seemed like it should have long ago died.
“Exactly. You think we’re the first students who’ve had to worry about trying to be intimate when they can't find any way to be alone in their rooms?” Honestly, it was a pretty safe bet we were in the minority because of our unique situation. A newly out guy, his roommate, and the younger brother of one of their friends. Probably weren’t too many like us around.
“But what if we get caught?” I couldn't believe I was the one on the verge of chickening out. Zach and Daniel both appeared to be seconds away from stripping naked in the woods.
“No one will know what we’re doing,” Zach promised.
“Whatarewe doing?” I wasn't used to feeling this out of control.
“That depends on our boy.” Daniel slid his hands down Zack's back, gripping his hips and grinding against him. “You heard what Colin said, baby. We'll give you whatever you want, but you have to tell us first.”
Zach didn't respond with words. As he continued grinding his ass against Daniel, his hands fumbled to pop open my jeans. “Always wondered what public sex would be like. Please, Daniel, don't keep making me wait.”
