“Noted,” he replied with a wink.“But other thanthat, what do you want this thing between the three of us to look like.Do you want to continue being friends who do stuff when you want to?Or do you want this to be something more than that?”
“I don’t know,” I answered honestly.“I like what we’ve been doing, but I don’t know how I feel about doing anything else right now.This is all still so new to me that I don’t know what it’s supposed to look like.”
“It can look however we want it to look,” Asher said with a smile.“No one can define what we are unless we allow them to.This can be whatever you want and need it to be.Even if you don’t want the label of a relationship, you should know that neither of us is seeing anyone else, nor do we plan to.The only girl we want is you.”
“I just want you guys,” I admitted, loving the way they both looked at me when I said it.“I know that I’m not as experienced as you guys are, but I hope that maybe you’ll be willing to go slow as I figure some of this out.”
I pulled in a deep breath and held it while I waited for their answer.
“I’m not in a rush for anything,” Enzo said.“I want whatever you’re willing to give me, Vi, even if that’s just your friendship.Though I do like kissing you, so maybe that too.”
His grin widened as he waggled his eyebrows at me.
“Same.I want your friendship and some kissing.Maybe some touching now that I know how your body reacts to me,” Asher replied, his eyes darkening slightly as if remembering what he’d done to me in the tub.
“Kissing is definitely on the list of things we’ll be doing,” I said with a laugh that felt wonderfully natural.“Touching is good, too.Especially if it ends the way it did earlier.”
“I’ve never been as jealous as I am right now,” Enzo muttered playfully.
“Don’t be a baby,” Asher scolded.“Just because she likes me better and let me play with her doesn’t mean you have to pout about it.”
I opened my mouth to object, but stopped and narrowed my eyes at Asher when I realized he was trying to rile Enzo up.
“You’re bad,” I hissed, shaking my head.
“Yeah, but you like it.”
I nodded in agreement because there was no denying that.Before I could stop it, a yawn snuck out, reminding me how tired I actually was.
“You should get some rest,” Enzo said, nodding to the eye mask that I forgot was sitting on my head.“I think we should get matching ones to seal the deal on our new friendship.”
I scrunched my nose at him and took it off.
“Make fun of me now, but when I wake up looking refreshed and well rested, you’ll wish you had one.”
“Trust me, I already do,” he said, reaching his hand out to see it.
I passed it to him, smiling when he frowned and flipped it around to see what it was.
“It’s eyelashes,” I explained.“It’s supposed to look like you’re sleeping.”
He slid the pink mask over his eyes, and I giggled, loving how ridiculous he looked.
“How do I look?”he asked.
“Like an asshole wearing a pink eye mask,” Asher responded with a grin.
“Hey, I have plenty.I’ll give you one, too.”I turned and looked at him.
“I don’t think I can rock the eyelashes,” Asher said with a wink.“I’ll leave that to you.”
“They don’t all have eyelashes.The others have sayings on them.”
“What kind of sayings?”Enzo asked as he took it off and gave it back to me.
“I don’t remember off hand, but I can go grab them.Then you guys can choose which one you want to wear tonight,” I teased.
“That’s okay.We can check them out tomorrow,” Enzo said.“But it’s getting late, so we should all get some sleep.”
