Tommy nodded.
“Yeah.”
Logan stepped closer, resting his hand lightly at the small of Tommy’s back again.
Grounding.
Chase met Logan’s gaze.
“I’m not here to compete with you,” he said calmly.
Logan studied him for a moment.
“Good,” he said.
A quiet pause settled between the three of them.
Then Chase rubbed the back of his neck with a small laugh.
“For what it’s worth,” he said, “I’d be lying if I said the other night wasn’t incredibly hot.”
Tommy groaned softly.
Logan laughed.
“That’s one way to summarize it.”
Chase glanced between them.
“It was my first time doing anything like that,” he admitted. “Honestly I almost didn’t come.”
“I could tell,” Logan said easily. “You were more careful than the others.”
Chase nodded once.
“I appreciated that,” Logan added.
The comment landed deeper than expected.
Chase exhaled slowly.
“So… is it something you’d ever do again?” he asked.
Logan looked to Tommy.
Tommy felt both of them watching him now.
The night air moved quietly around them.
“Not like that,” Tommy said carefully.
He glanced between them.
“But maybe… with someone we trust.”
Logan’s hand tightened slightly at his back.
“Someone intentional,” Logan said.
