A week after I walked in on that prick threatening Jack in the men's room, he and Zak boarded their plane back to LA as planned. They had a business empire to run, people who depended on them, and responsibilities they couldn't just abandon because of me.
I understood that.
But, also as planned, they returned two weeks later, the three of us deciding to take a chance and see if we can make this magical thing that's sprung up between us work.
Spoiler: It can, has, does, and I hope,willfor a very long time to come.
Jack is running their company remotely, and Zak is opening up a new studio in town and flying models and production in to shoot closer to home. Entirely fitting for FaceBros to be based in a town called Cumcircle, I think.
And me? I'm still pinching myself that these two incredible men are in my life. I feel blessed and lucky beyond belief. I wouldn't say I was miserable before, but being with them I sure as heck realize what I'd been missing. There's so much more to life than just getting by. There's opening up and sharing vulnerable sides of yourself. There's naked lakeside swims. There's sitting on a back porch, appreciating a sunset. There's making new friends who accept you just as you are. Being with Zak and Jack has given me an entirely new lease on life.
And the fact that they're so into me, my hulky frame not being an issue for themat all. In fact, every day they tell mehow beautiful and strong and handsome I am, and every day, I believe them a little bit more.
On a sadder note, two months ago, Sutton suffered a bad fall. Thankfully, I was coming around to clean her gutters, so she wasn’t on the ground for too long. But it scared her into selling up and moving closer to her daughter in Minneapolis nonetheless.
That's when Jack came up with the idea of buying her place. That way, between the three of us, we own the last three houses on the street. Guaranteed privacy. Something all three of us cherish. And who knows? Maybe one day, we'll combine all three lots and build one gigantic house.
I'm trying not to get too far ahead of myself. It's still early days, even though it feels like I've known them both for so much longer than I have. Things couldn't be going any better, and I'm more than happy to go with the flow and milk this goodness for a long time to come.
"Well, I should leave you to it," the agent says. Before he hops into his BMW convertible, he adds, "I've been holding off saying anything until now becauseprofessionalism, but I just want to thank you both." He glances over at Zak as he talks. "I'm a huge fan of your work, and my boyfriendreallyappreciates you helping me find and unleash my inner cumslut."
Zak laughs good-naturedly. "Glad we could be of service."
"I wish you all many happy years here."
And with that, he speeds off.
"I had my doubts about him," I say, taking each of their hands in mine. "But he came through in the end."
"He sure did," Jack says, taking in his new house, a huge smile dancing on his lips. "I'm officially now a Cumcirclian. A Cumcirclite? Cumcircleon?"
I laugh and squeeze his hand without, hopefully, crushing it. "Your home is where you are. Where you both are."
We enter the house. It still feels like Sutton's place to me with faint furniture marks on the floor, but the bones are good. Thick beams, deep windows, and rooms that hold heat, something that will come in mighty handy in the winter. There’s plenty of work to do, but we also have plenty of time to figure all that out later.
"Welcome to the homeowner's club, Jackie boy," Zak says, spinning to face us, his eyes brimming with a mischief I know—and love—all too well. "Thoughts on christening this place now that it's officially yours?"
"I'd love that," Jack says, latching onto my hand and gesturing for Zak to come in closer so he can take hold of his, too. "But first, there's something I'd like to say."
Jack
With Zak’s and Harvey's hands in mine, and their eyes on me, I feel ready to share my truest feelings with them. I've been waiting for the right time to have this moment, but things have been so hectic recently in the lead-up to buying this place.
"These past few months have been completely unexpected…in the best of ways. I feel so at peace and settled here in this beautiful, charming, amazingly named small town, as though I've lived here all my life. It really feels like home. And I'm so happy with the new friends we've made, especially Bailey. And after what happened at the bar with that prick, the way they all stepped up to make sure I was okay in the days and weeks that followed. I know how much they care for me and accept me for who I am. And then there's you two…"
I turn to Zak. "We've known each other for so long. You're my best friend, my business partner in crime, and now, I'm so happy to say, my boyfriend, too."
I look up, taking in Harvey's chiseled face. "And you. Where have you been hiding all my life?"
"Not exactly capable of hiding at this height even if I tried, but okay," he says, and I smile.
"You're an amazing person. Thoughtful, kind, protective."
"Don't forget handsome and has a massive cock," Zak helpfully supplies.
I snort. "Yeah, I was getting to that part." I release Zak's hand because what I'm about to say I want to say directly to Harvey. "When we first met, you made a comment that has stuck with me. You said that you think of yourself as a freak of nature. Well, you're wrong. You're not a freak of nature, you're a miracle of nature."
A tear slides down Harvey's cheek, and I reach up to thumb it away.
