“Oh, come on,” I say with a whine. “Live a little.”

“I am living,” he says, turning towards me. He reaches out, snatching my waist and yanking me towards him. He leans down until his mouth is by my ear.

“Dean?”

“Being with you and Kassian makes me feel more alive than I’ve felt in years,” he says, a shiver going down my spine at the feel of him against me, the warmth of his breath fanning against my ear.

I suck in a sharp breath, trying to get my body to calm the fuck down. “Dean,” I say, my voice breathy against my permission. “That makes me really happy,” I say honestly. “You make me really happy.”

“Oh my gods,” Kassian says, shoving himself between the two of us. “Come on! I love this song!”

Kassian drags the two of us over to the corner of the bar where people are dancing. The music surges around us, thrumming so loudly I can feel it in against my insides. Kassian plants himself between the two of us, yanking the three of us together.

One of my hands is still holding onto my spiked lemonade, the other finds Kassian’s hip. A moment later, I feel warm fingers connect with my own. Past Kassian’s shoulder, I find Dean smiling over at me.

“I have a small confession to make,” Dean says loud enough that we can hear him over the music.

“What?”

“I know who Mars’ partner is.”

Kassian and I tense. He looks over his shoulder at me, making sure I heard.

“Who is it?”

“I can’t tell you but I saw it last night. I promise, you’ll know very soon.”

I lean my chest against Kassian’s back. “Oh my gods. I can’t wait to find out. We’re gonna tease him, right?”

“Duh,” Kassian says right away. “He’s been teasing us this whole time! Plus, he used to tease us about each other before we got our heads out of our butts.”

“Do you think Finn already knows? I can’t believe he never says anything. They must have the most solid bro code going on.”

“Oh lord,” Dean murmurs.

Kassian nods his head, his hips never stopping their movements under my hand. Instead of thinking about Finn or Mars or Mars’ partner, I think about my own partners in front of me.

The three of us dance from one song into another. Between songs, we switch places. When I’m in the middle, my dick throbs with want. I want to be sandwiched between them while we’re all naked, our hands roaming. I’m having such a fun time but a little part of me wants to get the fuck out of here and head back to our temporary home. I want to taste the sweet drink that Kassian is sipping on straight from his tongue. I want to lick the droplet of sweat from Dean’s throat. Gods, I want them so badly it physically hurts.

We’re sweaty and panting by the time we finally pull away from the dance floor. High on endorphins, we make our way to a table once more. Just before I can ask them if they want to get out of here, Dean is grabbing our chins, turning our heads back towards the dance floor in perfect sync.

“What?”

Kassian sucks in a sharp breath, apparently seeing something that I don’t. It takes a moment but finally, I see it. Mars is on the dance floor, his hands on someone’s hips. They turn their head and now it’s my turn to gasp. The two of them lock arms around each other and start making out, right there, in front of everyone.

“Oh. My. Gods.”

“No fucking way.”

“How the fuck didn’t we notice?”

“It’s been right in front of us the entire time.”

“Fuck.”

Dean starts chuckling behind us. “How did you not know Mars and Finn were together?”

“Hey!” I say quickly, throwing a pout his way. “You didn’t know either!”
