“You don’t?” Ash sounded more surprised than angry with me, and I took that as a good sign. If he was open to the idea of sharing me, then maybe Calder and Beck would be too. If I could convince evenoneof them, it was better than nothing. It was a step in the right direction.
“Yeah,” I said with a quick shrug to signal confidence in my decision. “Why should I choose? Why can’t all of you just call it even and all have me? That way, everybody wins, right?”
Both Calder and Ash blinked a few times like they were in a sitcom. I could understand the confusion. This was something I’d been thinking about for a while, but they’d still been in competition the whole time. But I did wonder if they’d never even thought of the idea. Did they really think that one of them would eventually win and that their friendship would stay the same?
“Okay, I don’t think I’m hearing you right,” Ash finally said, looking at me like I had a screw loose. “Are you saying that we should just… share you?”
“Like, all date you at the same time?” Calder added his question with a measure of disbelief.
“You have been, haven’t you?” I pointed out stubbornly. If I had an opportunity to have my way, I was going to take it. They weren’t outright saying no, which to me meant that it was possible. They just needed to warm up to the idea.
“Yeah, but…” Ash started, then his words seemed to peter out.
“That was only because we wanted to see who you’d end up choosing,” Calder said, arms crossed and frowning. “Not because we wanted it to be a permanent arrangement.”
“And I don’t want to choose,” I shrugged. “Plus, it’s been pretty damn good so far, hasn’t it? Don’t you think itcouldjust keep going this way?”
This time, Calder and Ash shared a look, and it was clear they were now considering it. I could feel my heart beating in my ears. Whatever one of them said next, well, I had the feeling that it would take this whole thing in one direction or the other. I was more nervous than I had been in a long time.
“Well…” Calder finally sighed, leaning over the counter until he was close enough that I could feel the heat of his breath. “Let’s say we do agree to your terms. How would this even work?”
I smiled at him, knowing that I had won. “Like this.”
With that, I stood up on my tiptoes and put my hand around his neck, pulling him into a kiss.

To my surprise, Ash lifted me right onto the counter so that I was standing on top of it on my knees, and I could push myself against Calder, who was melting into the kiss without argument. He responded by reaching down to put his hands on my lower back, and I felt a shiver running down my spine.
Ash’s hands moved to my waist, and he pulled my lower half slightly backward. I let go of the kiss and looked over my shoulder to see him grinning at me.
“We weren’t done here, were we?” he asked, and I giggled in return. “If you want to be shared, then we’ll do just that. But remember, these are the consequences of your own actions.”
“I wouldn’t want it any other way,” I answered, before turning my face to Calder. “Are you in?”
“Mm, you just enjoy the ride,” Calder said, pulling his shirt over his head. “We’ll see if you can handle both of us at once.”
Behind me, Ash tightened his grip on my waist, before pushing himself into me so deeply that I gasped. But I didn’t have any time to truly react, as Calder was kissing me again. His hands moved up to my breasts, teasing my nipples until they became hard.
Having both of them lavishing this kind of attention on me was an entirely new, more powerful experience than I had expected.Shockwaves ran through my body, building my hunger for more at an incredible pace.
With the way they were balancing me, I could free my hands to reach over the counter to find Calder’s pants.
Ash was still moving slowly behind me, but I could feel every inch of him as he rocked his hips, and my hands were shaking as I fumbled with Calder’s belt. Calder let go of one of my breasts, still using one arm to keep me balanced, while his other hand helped me undo his belt and jeans. As soon as they were loose, he swiftly pulled them down, and stood forward, letting go of me.
I moved down so that I was lying almost flat on the counter, with Calder in front of me and Ash behind.
From here, I could see how hard Calder was, and I craved him as much as I craved Ash. Ash took my hair in one hand and pulled my head back slightly, while Calder took my hand in his and placed it over his shaft.
He felt like a rock beneath my fingers, and I began to move from the base to the tip, while Ash continued to ram himself into me.
“Oh, my god,” I breathed as Calder let his own hand join mine in its movements, leading me in my rhythm and pressure. He put the other hand under my chin, so that the two of them were keeping my head exactly where they wanted it.
I felt Ash move one hand from my waist, felt his fingers travel over my thigh and his angle changed so that he could reach my clit from where he stood.
