“We reached an agreement,” Arden said. The light in his eyes was brilliant, his face beatific in his excitement.
“That’s great,” I said, still with an undercurrent of unease.
“And we figured out a way to compensate Franco for his services,” he continued.
Here my gaze swiveled to Franco whose grin only widened, all teeth.
“And how’s that?” I asked with another flutter of fear in my gut.
Arden tilted his golden head and licked his sensuous lips. “We’re having a threesome.”

the threesome
“Athreesome?” I studied Arden’s face to see if he was only teasing me.
“You and Franco used to fuck,” he said matter-of-factly. “And you told me you had good chemistry. He’s the perfect third.”
My gaze swiveled back to Franco. “Was this your idea?”
He drank the last of his mimosa and tilted the flute toward me in a gesture to refill it. “It’s a good idea. I’m between men. We’ve had great sex, and your lover isverypersuasive.” Franco shot Arden a wolfish grin. “Tits-out, no?”
“No tits. And don’t look at him like that,” I snapped.
“Like what?” he asked innocently.
“Like you want to fuck him.”
“But I do. And you too, Michael. It’s been so long.”
“You said you’d try it, with me.” Arden gave me his most piteous look. “Think of it as an adventure.”
“Everyone loves adventure,” Franco cheered.
Arden made his way over to me, leaned in close, and whispered in my ear, “Wouldn’t you like to show Franco how you fuck me so good? How I beg you to make me come? And sometimes, when I’m very excited, how we don’t even have to use hands?”
His clever hand slid over the fly of my pants, and his fingers curled to massage my hardening length. “Hmmmm, Michael?” he murmured, then dropped down to his knees and mouthed my crotch through the fabric. The heat and moistness brought my dick from half-mast to full. Meanwhile, Franco was idly fondling himself through his slacks.
“Please, baby?” Arden striped the length of my cock with his tongue and stared up at me. So wholesome. I would give this man anything. The power he held over me was terrifying.
“Fine,” I groaned, mostly from sheer horniness than anything else.
Arden jumped to his feet. “Great. Let me just grab some things from my apartment, and I’ll be back in a flash.”
“Wait, this threesome is happening now?”
“Not until I get back.” He shot us both a look. “Don’t start without me.”
And then he was out the door. His exit was followed by Franco’s boisterous laughter as I collapsed on the couch in defeat.
“Feeling pretty satisfied with yourself, aren’t you?” I said.
“I like him. I want one of my own to take home.”
“Impossible. Arden is one-of-a-kind.”
Franco’s phone buzzed and he dropped his gaze to check it. “I’m going to have ass until the end of summer. What did he go home for?”
