I gave Ryan a devilish smile. “I think I alsohad plans to strip you down and kiss every inch of you, and that doesn’t evencount what I plan to do to Scott.”
I had a list of all kinds of wonderfulthings I wanted to do and explore with my boys, but it was hard to remindmyself to take it one step at a time. They both gave low moans and noddedagain. Even though I knew they were both nervous, their excitement andcuriosity seemed to override everything else.
Scott licked his lips and his expressionturned shy. “What kinds of things?”
He didn’t seem to dislike the idea, so Ijust smiled wickedly.
When a shiver raced through him, Icontinued the verbal torture. “What do you think about being completely trappedand under my control again? Maybe I’ll let Ryan run his tongue all over you ifhe’s been good. Would you like that?”
That image had them both moaning.
“Maybe we’ll take turns nibbling on thosesensitive nubs of yours again.” I let my gaze flick down to his chest so therewas no question about what I meant.
We all remembered how wonderfully he’dreacted to the nipple play the first time, and I could feel a shiver racethrough Ryan as his hand pressed harder against my ass. They were so beautifuland were becoming so open with what turned them on. In a way some people mightnot be able to understand, it made me proud of them.
Scott’s brain seemed to be overloaded withfantasies and questions because he just stood there watching me with wide eyesbefore finally nodding. I wasn’t sure if it was an answer to any one specificquestion or if it was just his agreement of everything I’d said, but we hadtime to figure that out.
I was sandwiched between them both again,so I stretched up and gave them each a quick kiss before smiling innocently. “Areyou ready to go?”
We’d originally talked about hanging out intheir apartment for the afternoon, but I was pretty sure that would just leadus to the bedroom entirely too soon, so I’d said we should go somewhere. Theywere both hesitant about picking a place, so I’d decided we would go to one ofthe museums.
Ryan had talked about how much Scott likedhistory and learning new things, so I thought he’d enjoy it. It would let uswander around and talk and would also give me a chance to pick Ryan’s brain andsee what kinds of things he would enjoy.
When I asked questions, he had a tendencyto tell me all about Scott and about what Scott liked, not about his own needs.I thought it said a lot about him that he wanted to answer my questions, butthat he wanted to focus on Scott while he did it. It was sweet, but that wouldn’thelp me learn about him.
They needed to realize my relationship witheach of them was just as important as our relationship altogether. Each linkneeded to be strong or everything would fall apart. I’d seen it happen over theyears to other friends who were in polyamorous relationships of different sorts,and I didn’t want that to end up being us.
It took them both a few more seconds beforetheir brains caught up with what I’d said. Scott slowly nodded, but Ryancleared his throat and tried to respond verbally. “Yes…to go to the museum, right?”
I squeezed his hand and nodded. “Yes. Ithink it’s going to be fun. I haven’t been there in ages.”
It wasn’t someplace I would’ve picked towander around on a Saturday afternoon by myself, but with the two of them, Ihad a feeling it would be the perfect way to kill some time. “Then I thought wecould grab some takeout and bring it back here?”
The idea of sitting at a restaurant wasn’tas fun as it should’ve been. I liked taking them out, but I knew by the end ofthe afternoon I’d be tired of behaving myself. If we were in public for dinner,I wouldn’t be able to play with them and tease them and ask them all kinds offun questions.
It took them both another few seconds torespond. This time it was Scott who found his words first. “That sounds good.”
It wasn’t the most descriptive answer, butthe look on his face said a lot more than his words about how excited he was. Igave them both a knowing smile before releasing their hands and inching away. “Let’sgo, then.”
I would’ve rather held their hands as wewent back downstairs, but I just wasn’t comfortable in their neighborhood. Theguys didn’t seem to mind, however. As we walked out, and they locked their door,we headed down the stairs with them both keeping watch around the building andin the parking lot. It seemed to be instinctive, and I couldn’t help but wonderif they realized how bad their neighborhood was.
But just because I was dominating them inthe bedroom and they’d hinted that they wanted me to control other aspects of theirlives didn’t mean I was welcome to take over everything.
Both men glanced around the parking lotagain and then at my car. Ryan cleared his throat. “How about we take your carsince everyone knows ours and won’t mess with them?”
I nodded, then chuckled. Yeah, I wouldn’thave messed with their cars either. I knew they were sweet teddy bears, but atfirst glance, other people might assume they were more aggressive because oftheir size. “Probably a good idea.” My car wasn’t that fancy or expensive, butI wanted it in one piece.
Ryan smiled. “Once they see you’re with us,then nobody will touch it.”
I decided to use the opening he’d given meand test the waters. When we were in my car with Scott in the front seat besideme and Ryan in the back, I turned in my seat and gave them both a questioninglook. “You guys realize this neighborhood is scary, right?”
They gave me sheepish looks before turningto stare out the windows. Trying not to smile, I waited until one of thembroke. The fact that it was Scott surprised me. He shrugged and wiggled in hisseat before the words finally came out. “It wasn’t this bad when we first movedin.”
That bolstered Ryan’s confidence a littlebecause he responded quickly. “Yeah, it was just a little rough when we firstmoved in, but over time it changed.”
Well, that was one stumbling block out ofthe way, but it didn’t tell me why they hadn’t moved. I had some ideas, though.
Scott wiggled a little more. “The rent wasgreat when we were both new at our jobs, and it’s let us save up quite a bit. I’mreally pleased with how our IRAs are looking.”
