He looked up, wide-eyed. “It’s definitely different from kissing a girl. I think I like it better.”
“Why?” I asked, truly curious.
He shrugged shyly, glancing away again to look at the water. “You both controlled the kiss. It took all the guesswork and wondering if I was doing a good job out of the equation. It’s the opposite if I’m with a woman. I didn’t have to think with y’all, only to feel. Of course, there’s the facial hair, which feels different on my skin. I like it.”
“Is that something you would like to explore more of?”
Ryder dragged his fingertips over the surface of the water and nodded. “Yeah, I think so.”
“Are we going to pursue this?” Finn asked him. “Would you like to?”
“If you don’t, no shame, but I would ask that you refrain from ever mentioning our offer or telling anyone about my relationship with Finn.”
“Oh… no, I would never do that to you. If I do this, can I change my mind later?”
Finn chuckled. “We aren’t going to imprison you. Of course, you can back out at any time, no hard feelings, but Father and I hope you don’t.”
“How long would we do this for?”
“Finn and I discussed this and agreed that a month was long enough to determine if it’s something we would want to pursue or to end,” I said. “We can decide then if we’re all still on board.”
Ryder nodded. “You don’t have to pay me.”
Finn looked at me and gnawed on his bottom lip with excitement in his eyes. I felt it, too. Ryder was going to join us.
“Getting to explore my sexuality is payment enough,” he added.
“Let me at least cover any expenses, but I need you to say the words. Are you going to join us?” I asked.
“Yes, I… would like to try it, though you’ll probably get bored with me because I have no idea what I’m doing.”
Finn snorted a laugh. “Trust me, there’s no way we’re going to be bored with you.”
I stood and held out my hands to the two young men. They grabbed them, and I hefted them to stand. “Then we need to sign an agreement, an NDA, and discuss rules. I hate to be so formal and business-like, but I have a club and our reputations to protect.”
We continued to hold hands as we made our way inside the house and into my office. I let them go to open the file I had resting on top of my desk.
“The most important rule is communication. Finn and I talk about everything, honestly and openly. It’s how we’re able to bring in a third man without damaging our relationship. But if I feel it’s starting to fracture, this ends. Understood?”
Both young men nodded and said they understood.
“Again, any of us can end this at any time.”
I pulled out a couple of pieces of paper and handed them to Ryder. “These are our test results for STIs, HIV, and such.” He took them from me and scanned them. “As you can see, Finn and I are in the clear. I would like you to get tested as well. Until that time, it’s condoms only.”
“Yes, sir.”
My mouth twitched into a smile. “There’s a new rule. You must call me sir at all times.”
Finn covered his mouth and giggled. “I call Father ‘Daddy’ in bed.”
“Will that bother you?” I asked Ryder.
“No… sir.”
“I can be demanding sometimes, and I am always on the top, meaning no one gets to fuck me, but you are more than welcome to fuck Finn, and hopefully, he can fuck you. There will be times I’ll want only to watch, and sometimes, I’ll direct. Are you okay with all of that, Ryder?”
He nodded, running a hand through his long, dark bangs, handing me the papers back. “Yes, sir… I think. I mean, I don’t know what I really like yet. I’ve only been with a few women, but sex had been… kind of vanilla.”
