Bryce knew Toby didn’t mean work options. He looked from Toby to Matt and back again. “Yes, if one of those options is both of you. I still think this is totally crazy, but I won’t walk away again. I was a fool to deliberately hurt you. Can you forgive me?”

“Yes,” Toby said, just like that, with no equivocation.

Matt reached for Bryce, pulling him into a kiss instead of answering with words. Toby knelt on the bed so he could get in on the action. Bryce tried not to jostle Matt and hurt his ankle, but it wasn’t easy with all three of them trying to devour each other.

Finally, Matt pulled back for air. “We missed you so much.”

“We missed this so much,” Toby said, nibbling Bryce’s neck.

“We can’t,” Bryce protested. “Matt’s ankle.”

“I’m fine,” Matt insisted, licking his way down the other side of Bryce’s neck.

Bryce was quickly losing the will to argue. “I don’t want to hurt you.”

Matt scooted low so he could recline more and pulled Bryce down on top of him. After a thorough kiss, he whispered in Bryce’s ear, “I want to suck you. I need to taste you again.” All thought of restraint fled. Matt and Toby were right. It had been too long. Surely he could be gentle enough not to cause Matt pain.

Bryce glanced at Toby. He was sitting on his heels watching them and rubbing his hand over the erection tenting his sweats. “Strip,” he ordered.

Toby sighed dramatically. “God, I’ve missed you telling me what to do.”

“I’ve missed telling you.”

“Sometimes, when you go all dominant, I think I could get off just listening to you give me orders.”

Bryce grinned. “We’ll have to find out some time, won’t we?”

“Really? We’re really doing this?” Matt asked. “This isn’t a dream?”

“No, this is real,” Bryce said. “Very real.” For better or worse, he was done avoiding the fact that he’d fallen for them. It was time to admit this was a real, actual relationship and to let go of the fear that had weighed him down since Atlanta. It was time to allow himself to be happy.

Matt put his hands on Bryce’s hips and tugged. “Come up here where I can taste you.”

Bryce wasn’t sure he’d last two seconds once Matt put his mouth on him. He’d been in such a funk he’d hardly even jerked off since he’d walked away from them. He hadn’t done much of anything but work and sleep.

“I missed you,” he said, looking first at Matt and then Toby, who was now utterly naked. “I wouldn’t have made it much longer without calling you.”

“We almost called you so many times,” Matt confessed.

“I wish you had. I wish you’d told me what an idiot I was. Mason tried, but…”

“You wouldn’t listen because you’re stubborn as fuck?” Toby asked.

“And you’re not?”

Toby huffed in mock offense.

“Come back,” Matt begged as Bryce pulled away from him and stood.

“I’ve got to get out of these clothes if this is going to work.”

“All right, but hurry,” Matt pleaded.

Toby teased Matt’s cock through his shorts, and Matt groaned, arching up into the touch. Toby began to stroke himself with his other hand, and Bryce paused to watch. They were so beautiful. He didn’t deserve them.

“You’re thinking too hard,” Toby scolded.

Bryce laughed. “You caught me.”
