They were going to do a scene.
As the two still-giggling subs were laidover an extra-wide spanking bench, I had to smile. He was so excited. I’dalways been able to understand why Matthew had loved him so much, but this wasa side I’d never seen before.
He was giggly and radiating excitement andanticipation. There was no way to miss the straining erection against theshimmery black fabric that was valiantly covering it. There were nerves showingtoo, but everything in his behavior said he trusted the men he was with.
Had he fallen in love again?
When they were in position, the Dom camearound and stroked both their heads before quietly whispering to each one. Thekiss he gave to each of their heads was tender and loving and made my heart ache.I’d lost my chance—
“They’re so hot together you’d think they’dbe a threesome.” The soft words had an edge of teasing in them, so I lookedover to see Wade’s friend Austin.
And a few more pieces fell into place.
I’d never understood how they could befriends. Austin was outrageous and so famous it was ridiculous, but Wade wasthis laid-back omega who loved staying home and taking care of Matthew. But theskimpy outfit Austin was wearing and the alpha Dom who was hovering over him inthe background had everything snapping into place.
Austin had a challenging look on his face,like he was daring me to say something. I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to beoverly dramatic about, but instead of focusing on the see-through fluffy skirtor the sparkly cock cage under it, my mind went back to his words.
“They’re not together? I mean, the three ofthem?” I glanced back to see the alpha moving behind them, stroking their backsand down toward their asses.
“No, just best friends in the most perfectsense.” He was smiling at them as I turned back, but when his gaze shifted tome, I could see something more predatory in it. “Silas and I would make goodfriends too.”
The alpha who was wearing a tight blackT-shirt that saidI’m with the Drama Queenjust stared at me. Whateverthey were selling, I wasn’t interested. I shook my head. “I’m good with casualacquaintances. Thanks.”
Shifting so I was focusing back on Wade, Iheld my breath as the first swing of the flogger came down on his ass. Hisentire body lit up, and even across the room, I heard the needy sound thatescaped.
Austin let out a happy sound which had meglancing over at him for a split second. He looked very proud of me for someweird reason. He knew I’d turned him down, right? I wasn’t aiming to piss offsomeone with his connections, but I wasn’t going to have a threesome justbecause he was offering.
“Perfect.” His weird answer had me sighingand turning back.
“Excuse me?” I was starting to lose mypatience, but my goal was not to be an ass or an idiot.
He was still smiling. “I couldn’t tell ifyou were drooling over Wade or the idea of a threesome.”
Giving him a blank look, I did my best tokeep my feelings to myself. “I’m enjoying a scene.”
He rolled his eyes. “Sure. That’s it.”
The alpha I was assuming was Silas steppedcloser and Austin leaned into the large man like he was cuddling against ateddy bear. “You’re the firefighter they used to have over for dinner.Griffin.”
I wasn’t sure if it was a question or not,but I nodded as I watched the man alternate his swings between the two subs.His rhythm was slow and steady, and I knew he could keep it up for a long time.It also made it easy to see what he was doing, and I could see several peoplewho were more interested in the technique than the subs themselves.
Wade’s body jerked occasionally and I couldsee that his passion hadn’t dimmed, but it was clear that he’d started a slidetoward subspace. Did he sink into it easily or had it been a while for him?Austin said they weren’t in a relationship, so—
“How long have you loved him?” It was soout of the blue, it took a moment to process.
My head whipped around. “What?”
He smirked, looking back and forth betweenthe stage and me. “I wasn’t sure when you used to come around before, but now…”
He shrugged, the asshole expression slidingoff his face into something more relaxed and understanding. “The way you lookat him says he’s not just an old friend to you.”
“You’ve lost your mind.” I started to moveaway when the large man behind Austin spoke.
“Even I saw it.” The relaxed way hecommented had some of my frustration calming. “I wouldn’t normally butt in; however,this is Wade.”
And that changed everything for them.
Shit. It changed everything for me.
