Page 67 of Greedy Grizzly
Then one day, upon hearing Matt calling him grumpy bear, Raul said,Grizzly is better because he’s intelligent and avoids humans.Uncle Matt had liked Raul’s assessment and that was how Grizzly had gotten his road name.
“I think we’re done here,” I told the others. “I need to talk to Toby and Grizz alone.” I nudged my head toward the door for Track, Boxer, Ire, Lynx, and Dodge to vacate the room.
“What’s up?” Toby asked as the door shut.
“You three didn’t come yesterday. Does that mean you worked through some stuff?” Man, this was awkward as fuck. But I hated dancing around shit. Like, just get it out in the open so we could all get on with our lives.
“Work through what stuff?” Toby flicked his gaze at Grizzly.
“That stuff right there.” I shook my head. “You, Grizz, and Libby.”
“Oh, Jesus.” Grizzly covered his face. “He knows, Toby.”
“Oh.” My friend looked at me for a long second. “Then, yes we did. Do you have a problem with us being together?”
“No problem at all. I’m just over so many fuckin’ secrets. You have my blessing to do as you please, not that you needed it to begin with.”
“Did you hear that, Grizz? We don’t need Storm’s or anyone else’s permission to be together.”
Grizzly grunted, but kept his eyes averted from mine.
“I am curious though. Like how is it going to work?”
“The logistics?” A wicked grin stretched across Toby’s face.
“No! Relationship wise, idiot!” Leave it to Toby to make me uncomfortable.Asshole.
Grizzly stood and pushed his chair back. “Libby and I are a couple, but we have an open relationship with Toby. Anymore questions, Prez?”
“Well, fuck, Grizz. I didn’t mean to offend.” I raised my hands to show I was backing down. I liked how he finally spoke up for himself. “How do you want the club to find out about you three?”
“Don’t worry about it. I’ll take care of it.” And with that, Grizzly left the room.
“He’s still adjusting to us all being together,” Toby said.
“Understandable. So how long have you been bi?” I asked. “I’m just curious.”
“Since high school. You were my first crush.” He winked and got to his feet. “I really wanted to suck your long, thick dick.”
My jaw dropped. “Get the fuck out!” I pointed to the door.
“Yeah, I thought you’d be uncomfortable knowing I used to watch you in the shower room. You were pretty hot then and now.”
“You’re fuckin’ with me, aren’t you?” I didn’t care what other people did, but I was a straight, no freaky-kinky shit kind of man, and I didn’t appreciate any man jerking his junk off with me as his muse.
“I don’t know. Am I?” Toby belted out a hearty laugh and left the room.
I slumped in my seat, glad to know Grizzly and Libby could be with Toby in public. Er, at least in the club. Not sure how open they would be in town or anywhere else. Societal norms wouldn’t approve of the three of them being in a relationship. But I said, who the fuck cares?
Now, I needed to find my Angel and fuck her so hard to get what Toby said about me being his first crush out of my goddamn head.
I loved the dude like a brother, nothing more.

TOBY
I checked all the places on the main floor Grizzly might have gone in the clubhouse and didn’t find him. Libby was with a few of the old ladies in the kitchen, my sister being one of them, giving a recount of how it went seeing her sister for the first time in almost ten years. The ladies were engrossed in the story and didn’t notice me poking my head in. Whatever. My concern was for Grizz.
