"I mean this is all fun and games, but remember why we're doing this? You're the one with the massive crush on Linus, and my role was to help you find out if that was reciprocated, if there were feelings on his side, too. And, as I think we've clearly established, there are."
Ryde takes a moment to consider what I said while I figure out a way to address what he raised. I should've known he's too smart, too observant to let me keep changing the topic.
We should talk about it. About us. It's a big fucking deal, and it's added a whole new element to our friendship. I'm just terrified to go first, so I take the chickenshit way out and ask him, "Are you okay with…us? With what we did? I mean, we've never…"
I trail off as his cheeks grow rosy. He clears his throat before answering. "We haven't, no. It's never even crossed my mind to do something like that."
"With me?"
"With any friend. Friends are…friends, you know? And you're my best friend, so, yeah, I just automatically put you into thedon't even think about itzone.
Yeah, and don't I know it.
"We've crossed a major line," I say, scanning his face, trying to figure out what's going on in his head.
"We have. But…"
"Yeah?"
"It was really nice." He squeezes his eyes shut and scrunches his nose. "Now I'm the one misspeaking." He takes a breath then his eyes flick open. "It wasn't nice. It washot. Like, super fucking hot."
Nerves shoot up and down my spine as I ask a question I could end up regretting. "Wh-which part?"
The rosy hue on his cheeks blooms into a full blush as he speaks. "All of it. Giving Linus the worst rubdown in history. Then kissing you. Blowing Linus together. Sharing his load." He chews on his bottom lip, and the combination of the filthy memories mixed with his adorableness has got me so turned on a gust of wind could blow into the room and I'd come on the spot. "It never crossed my mind to do anything like that because I figured I couldn't."
"Couldn't?"
"Yeah. I'm inexperienced when it comes to sex. I've never felt confident or, like, good at it."
I place a hand on his knee. "You are very good at it," I assure him with a warm smile.
"Thanks." He smiles back. "And I also never saw myself as being able to be open or share a guy. I thought I'd get jealous or possessive or insecure."
"And did you?"
He shakes his head. "No. With you, none of that happened."
"Even when Linus and I were kissing?"
He shakes his head some more. "Even when you deepthroated him on the first go. I wasn't jealous. I was…impressed." He dips his head slightly. "And super turned on."
His face is the colour of a beetroot, just like the head of my cock probably. "So you're really okay to keep doing stuff?" I ask. "The three of us?"
"Of course." He reaches out and takes my hand in his. "But you have to promise me you will never think of yourself as collateral damage or a third wheel or anything silly like that, okay?" I frown, so he goes on. "I don't know what the future holds, where Linus and I stand. But for right now, for what we're doing, for what we're about to do again this afternoon, this is a three-man operation, okay?"
"You make it sound like we're construction workers."
He doesn't take the bait and volley back with some joke about laying pipe. Instead, he raises both eyebrows, which causes his forehead to crinkle, and grabs my arm. "I'm serious. You're equally involved in this, too. I want you to really hear that."
"I do," I say, enjoying the warmth of his hand riding up and down my arm.
"Really?"
"Yes, really," I reply, looking directly into his eyes. "Now let's get going or we're going to be late."

"So much for our training session," I pant out as Linus tightens his grip on Dario's and my cocks.
