“Careful, Baby.” I narrow my eyes at him.

“You said that on purpose!” I cough as he smiles behind the coffee cup.

“Can’t choke you with my cock in public, so I gotta use my words.” What the hell?

“Why would you want to do that?” He laughs harder at my expression, I’m sure.

“When your girl compares her coffee to an orgasm, it could lead a man to think he’s not trying hard enough.” I raise an eyebrow.

“You don’t seem the type to have those insecurities, “ he shrugs and gently takes my hand.

“I never said that man was me.” I roll my eyes and take another sip.

“Mmm, this really is mouth-watering.” He groans loudly.

“Let’s get you back home so I can regain my manhood.” I giggle as we wave goodbye to Phoebe.

I’m not sure if it’s my active imagination, but I think I saw her wink at me.

“Is she ok with this?” Seer takes my cup and places both in one hand to lift the door for me.

He crouches close to the ground after I sit and points over his shoulder at where we left Phoebe with a crowd of customers.

“There isn’t any room for jealousy or mistrust in a polyamorous relationship. Phoebe is still very much mourning Sam. She would never begrudge Kai or me our feelings for you. That being said, she is perfectly aware of my stance. I don’t bring anyone home I’m not serious about. It was our number one rule when we formed our family.” I watch Phoebe as he explains all this to me, and she must know we’re talking about her because she’s making her way down the hill before he finishes talking.

“Y’all alright?” The little gothic pixie stands hands on hip behind Seer.

“Go back to work so we can talk about you properly.” He stands and turns to his partner.

“Make me,” she sticks his tongue out at her.

“Brat,” he tries to grab her, but she jumps and runs around the car.

“Leah is worried about stepping on your toes as the woman of the house.” I widen my eyes at him.

“That’s not remotely what I said.” I turn to Phoebe, who’s leaning in the driver’s side window now.

“Why don’t we have dinner tonight and clear the air? I want you to feel at home in the house. You didn’t meet me at my best, but that’s a me issue. I’m working on it.” I nod and smile.

“I’d like that.” She slaps the hood and stands.

“Good, it’s a date.”

Wait, what?

Chapter

SEER

The drive home is quiet, and my mind fills the silence that Leah isn’t. All the possible ways that this could go wrong run through my head until I find us parked in the driveway, both staring at the front door, hoping it has the answers we both desperately need.

“Leah, Baby, I need to know what you’re thinking. I’m going insane over here.” Her intake of breath is harsh, and it is as if she’d stop breathing for a moment.

“I have a date with Phoebe.” Uh, oh.

It’s what I feared. She’s not remotely interested in a relationship with a woman, which is okay. It’s perfectly possible for us to form a sexual relationship with just Kai, and then she and Phoebe could stay one hundred percent platonic. As long as we all discuss it beforehand and agree that we won’t have any hard feelings, that is.
