"We know you did, and you have no idea how happy it makes us both to hear that you trust us. But we don't want to break that trust when we just got it. You were getting close to subspace and your mind wasn't entirely there. We hadn't negotiated anything beyond the rope work. We shouldn't have even kissed you, but Linc is a bad influence, so I'm going to blame him."

I winked at him, making him giggle again while I saw Lincoln rolling his eyes at me.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. I couldn't resist seeing a cute little boy wrapped up in rope and in delicious panties. Sue me."

I laughed and nudged Elias while he covered his mouth with his hands and laughed more. I wanted to make him laugh all the time. It was the most beautiful noise. So carefree and musical, and I knew it was going to be my favorite sound soon.

"So, you both want me? You don't think my scars are… gross?"

Lincoln smiled and shook his head before grabbing Elias's wrist gently in his hand. Bringing it up to his lips, he kissed the scar that spanned his wrist.

"We think that all of you is beautiful, sweetheart. We wanted more than anything to strip you bare and see what other sounds we could get you to make."

I see the blush that rises to Elias's cheek as my brother speaks, and the sight of it makes my cock twitch because I wanted us to be the reason he blushed all the time.

"But Luke is right. We didn't negotiate things beforehand. We want to keep your trust and make sure you feel safe with us because we want you, Elias. We want to make you ours. Our boy to take care of and protect. To guide and nurture. To goof around with, and if you let us, make you feel pleasure you've never felt before."

Hearing the slight gasp from Elias had my stomach tighten. It was like sitting on pins and needles because I didn't know what he would say. There was always that little sliver of doubt playing in my head with something like this. Did we misread things? Did he want to be ours? The longer he stayed quiet, the more nervous I became.

"If you don't want to be with us like that, then just know that we won't be upset and nothing changes for you here, Elias. You'll still be welcome here, and we'll still be there for you for your therapy. That comes first. But we want you, and we wanted to make that clear."

Elias just sat there and stared at us. Going from one to the other as he took everything in. We waited patiently for him to decide, and my mind raced with doubt.

Maybe it was too much. Maybe we shouldn't have thrown this on him right after he had a panic attack. I looked at my brother and saw the same doubt in his eyes. He was worried, too. Lincoln rubbed Elias's back.

"If you want to think about-"

"No!" Elias cut him off, which had us both deflating a bit at his answer. "I mean… no, I don't need to think about it. I… want that too. To be your boy. I don't know when or if I'll be able to call either of you Daddy, but I want you to be… please."

The smile that broke across Lincoln's face reflected my own when we heard him agree to be ours. I brushed my hand through his hair again until it slid to the back of his neck and squeezed.

"You can call us Daddy whenever you're ready, and even if you're never ready, that's fine too. It doesn't change who we are to you. We move at your pace, bunny. You do not know how happy you've made us."

Elias smiled and nodded at my words before he was giggling again when Lincoln wrapped his arms around his waist from behind and pulled him against his chest, kissing his cheek loudly.

"Ditto to what Luke said. We'll sit down later and go through your kinks and limits list with you and print out our own so you can look over them. Then we'll set up some rules for you and go over a rewards and punishment system. How does that sound, mo laoch?"

"Yes, Sir. That sounds really good."

I smiled more, watching them fondly. I couldn't believe that Elias was ours now. We still had to sit down and negotiate our dynamic with him, but we would do that later. For right now, I was going to just enjoy this feeling and the happiness on his face.

"Just one more thing, I think."

Elias looked over at me and blinked. I leaned in so that my lips were just hovering over his.

"A kiss to seal the deal."

Leaning forward, I pressed my lips to his, and his arms wrapped around my neck. I would never get used to kissing him. He tasted like warmed baked goods and candy. Pulling back, I nipped at his lower lip playfully before Lincoln gripped his chin gently and guided his mouth back to his so he could kiss him as well.

The flushed and dazed look on his face was gorgeous when Lincoln pulled back. He looked over at me and smiled brightly before he grabbed me by the back of my neck and pulled me forward until his lips pressed to mine. I hummed against them and pressed my tongue into his mouth with a pleased hum as he met me stroke for stroke. Pulling back from him, he grinned again.

"Wow… that was hot. And I get to see this every day? Did I win the lottery?"

Looking over at Elias and how happy and giddy he seemed as he watched us, I couldn't help but let out a loud laugh at his words. Lincoln joined me as well, and soon we were ganging up on Elias and tickling him. His squeals of delight filled the room, and it was music to my ears.
