“On the right at the top,” Alton said. “Ignore the mess. I didn’t plan on having visitors.”

Raiden entered the room sideways, careful not to jostle me. The curtains were still closed. There was an open closet with clothes spilling out of a hamper. The blankets were pulled back on the bed. Alton must only sleep on the side facing the door. The other side had hardly been touched. When I slept, I was all over the place because I was alone. Put me in the middle of these two men, and I’d cuddle with them and sleep peacefully.

I was gently eased onto the bed, Raiden being extra careful with my leg.

“I’m fine, Ray. You don’t need to treat me like I’m fragile.”

“Yes, I do.”

“Hold on,” Alton cut in. He went to his dresser and pulled out sweatpants and a T-shirt for me. “Put these on. I don’t care about blood on my bed, but you can’t be comfortable with your jeans cut up the leg with dried blood on them.”

“Good call.” I took the offered clothes and quickly undressed. Both Raiden and Alton turned away. “You’re going to make me doubt myself.”

“We’re giving you privacy,” Raiden supplied.

“In a bedroom with my two boyfriends, apparently. You should want to fuck me, not turn away.”

“Don’t mistake this for more than it is.”

I dressed, hating their backs to me. I understood why, but I didn’t like it. When I was settled on the bed lying down, I asked, “Do you have anything that will fit Ray?”

“Downstairs in the closet in the hall, there are clothes in a range of sizes, just in case.”

Raiden nodded. “I’ll be right back.” He ducked out of the room, his feet lighter than I would have thought over the stairs.

Alton stood near the door like he wasn’t sure what to do with himself.

“Lie with me,” I told him and patted the bed on my left.

“We’re not doing anything. You need to rest.”

“Whatever you say.” I’d at least get a kiss from them. Although, if their tongues entered my mouth, all bets were off.

When Raiden returned, he didn’t hesitate to lie on my other side. His arm went under my head as a pillow, and I could nuzzle into his warmth.

I reached for Alton. “Get in on this.” He slid over to lie down too, facing me.

“We need rules for our relationship,” Raiden said.

Being in the middle, I went first. “We’re exclusive, so no getting cock from anywhere else. We’re only doing dirty things to each other when it’s the three of us.” This was Raiden’s must-have, but I didn’t want to point that out to Alton. In the end, it didn’t matter whose rule it was because I wanted to make Raiden comfortable. “And open communication.”

“Agreed,” Raiden stated.

“Ditto,” Alton murmured, his mouth stretching with a yawn.

Raiden reached for Alton. I already had Alton’s arm around my waist, and my head pillowed on Raiden. It didn’t get much better than this. Wait, it could if we were naked and fucking, but I couldn’t do that with my leg, apparently. I’d try to convince Alton later for more than cuddling.

“Any rules you two want to add?” I asked.

“We see each other as much as possible, given our schedules,” Raiden offered. “Alton works a lot at his practice. My hours vary due to what Jordan needs. Who knows when you’ll be called upon, Lane? If we’re going to make this work, we have to spend time together when we’re all free, even if that means it’s just to sleep.”

“I don’t live with you,” Alton stated.

“No, but you have access to the building. It’s not a farther commute to your work than here.”

“How much have you been thinking about this?”

“More than I care to admit to. Will you stay if our schedules line up?”
