“Yes.” I didn’t even bother to attempt tohide the deep breath I took. He needed to understand how frustrated I was. “Iam not your sub in any way in this. We would be two Doms with a shared sub.Sometimes we would be one-on-one with him and sometimes it would be the two ofus focusing on him. But that’s it.”
I wasn’t going to submit to Niall.
I wasn’t strong enough for that.
But his relationship with Keegan wasdifferent and there was no doubt in my mind that this was what Keegan wanted. IfI was going to tell Niall to trust us, I had to trust my wiggly boy…and what hewanted most was not to have to pick between us.
Not yet, anyway.
There was no way this could last forever. Iwasn’t walking into it with rose-colored glasses, but I wasn’t going walk awayuntil there was no choice left.
After a few moments of silence, he nodded.“I’m not sure I can see exactly how this is going to work, but I’ll try.”
“We both need to be honest with Keeganabout how we’re feeling about this. I don’t want him coming into this thinkingthat it’s going to be easy.” My request had Niall’s face tightening again.
“That seems like we’re preparing to tellhim we’ve already failed as his Doms.”
He saw things in such a fucked-up way.
“No. We’re telling him his Doms are onlyhuman, and while we’re going to try to work things out, sometimes relationshipsdon’t work.” Dom didn’t mean all-knowing or all-commanding.
Niall’s expression said he didn’t like my answerat all, but he could kiss my ass. When I didn’t back down, he let out a breathand nodded. “Fine.”
I had a feeling that conversation withKeegan was going to look very different coming from each of us, but as long asI was honest with him then Keegan would be able to read between the lines of whatNiall was saying.
Hopefully.
This was such a bad idea.
With anyone else I’d have told Keegan noright off the bat, but this was Niall.
Deciding that I was mentally just done, Ilooked down at the menus. “Are you ready to order?”
Thankfully, he took the hint and picked upthe laminated card in front of him. “Give me one second.”
I’d give him a thousand years if it meantwe were done arguing, but I wasn’t sure we’d ever get to that point so I justnodded.
It was going to be a long night.
Chapter 9
Niall
“You’re distracted.” Keegan decided to fixthat situation by climbing on my lap, straddling my legs, so all I could seewas him. “This is much better.”
Chuckling, I wrapped my arms around him. “Iwould have to agree.”
As he wiggled closer, deliberately rubbinghis cock against mine if his wicked grin was any indication, he stroked mychest. He was trying to look innocent but failing spectacularly. “I thinkgiving me attention is just what you need.”
I might not have been the most intuitiveperson, but I was guessing that cuddling and watching a movie was not giving myboy exactly the type of attention he’d been craving. Giving him a quick kiss, Ismiled. “That will definitely fix all distractions.”
Since the level of his desire was fairlyobvious, I ran my hands down his back and stroked his ass, pulling him closeragainst me. When he was pinned and couldn’t get away with the supposedlyinnocent wiggles, he huffed and changed tactics. “Julian said you were going totell me about the rules you’d discussed.”
Hearing Julian’s name brought up feelingsof frustration and unfortunately desire, but I refused to say anything negativeabout Keegan’s other Dom. It felt like bad-mouthing the other parent, eventhough it really wasn’t the same situation.
Kneading Keegan’s ass, I smiled wider as hemoaned and a shiver raced through him. “Well, the first rule we’re going toneed to discuss is that all your orgasms will belong to your Doms. Between thetimes that you’ll be with us one-on-one and the times when we’ll be together,there isn’t a logical argument for you to have control over your orgasms.”
Keegan made a sexy, needy sound and hiseyes went slightly unfocused as he took in the information.
