I splintered apart first, sobbing my release into Noel’s neck. Jai jerked behind me, and wet heat shot inside me. Noel gave an eerie cry as he spilled between our stomachs, his body spasming around my sensitive length. The pleasure was almost too much to handle—Noel’s, Jai’s, mine. I thought it would drive me mad as it crested and washed over us.
But then the frenzy eased, and I settled beneath my skin once again. Jai had collapsed on top of me, trapping me between him and Noel. Noel didn’t seem at all upset about being crushed underneath us both. He was boneless and sated, making cute little noises of satisfaction in the back of his throat.
We lay in a contented pile for several long minutes until Jai started to soften inside me. With a groan, he eased out of me, and his warm seed leaked out and slid down my leg. I slipped out of Noel a moment later, and his nose scrunched, his eyes blinking open.
“Don’t go,” he slurred.
“I won’t,” I promised, slumping to the bed beside him, my legs tangled with his.
Jai rolled to Noel’s other side, propping his head on Noel’s shoulder. His arm crossed over Noel’s stomach, his hand finding mine and drawing it to Noel’s chest. Our fingers linked, our palms resting over Noel’s slowly calming heart.
As we came down from our high, my heartbeat synced with Noel’s. Reaching across Noel, I pressed my hand to Jai’s chest. His heart was strong and steady, keeping perfect time with ours. I smiled as I lay back down, snuggling into Noel’s side.
Jai’s fingers smeared through the mess on Noel’s stomach, and Noel hummed. Jai’s eyes were back to normal, both brown. When Noel looked at me, I saw that they, too, had returned to their usual light purple. The starbursts around his pupils sparkled in the light of the waning sun.
Content and sated, I sighed into Noel’s neck and hitched my leg over his hip. My knee bumped his soft penis, my calf between his legs. He turned his head and kissed my forehead. I pressed my lips to his Adam’s apple.
“Well, that was intense,” Jai said, breaking the comfortable silence.
“Just like camping,” I slurred, and both Jai and Noel sent me confused looks. I blushed. “Intense. In tents. Camping? Danny said it was a word joke.”
Jai and Noel burst into laughter, and I hid my smile in Noel’s shoulder. Noel threw an arm over his eyes, howling with laughter. Jai shook his head and poked me.
“That’s, like, the lamest joke ever.”
“Whatever. I’m sex-drunk. Don’t listen to me,” I said, and they guffawed harder. Looking down at the mess we’d made of each other, I wrinkled my nose. “I think we need to shower again.”
“Later.” Noel fitted me snugly against his side as Jai propped himself onto his elbow and continued to draw lazy figure-eights in the cum puddled on Noel’s belly. “I’m still dizzy.”
“That good, huh?” Jai smirked.
Noel’s pink cheeks brightened. “It may have been the best sex I’ve ever had.”
“Me too,” I agreed.
“Well, you’re both extremely welcome,” Jai said between chuckles, and Noel smacked his chest.
“Shut up. You’re such an arrogant prick.”
After wiping the mess from his fingers on the blanket, Jai brought his hand up to smooth over Noel’s hair. “You love me anyway.”
Noel’s Adam’s apple bobbed against my nose. “I guess I do.”
I sighed in bliss as Jai leaned down and pressed his lips to Noel’s. They kissed slow and deep, Jai’s beard leaving red marks on Noel’s chin. Noel’s lips were swollen and spit-shined when they parted, and Jai smiled down at him, the most tender expression on his face.
“Neshama sheli,” he whispered reverently, like a prayer.
“Chaim sheli,” Noel said.
“I love you both more than anything in the world,” I said, and they beamed at me.
We lay in a knot of limbs for as long as we could before the drying cum and sweat became uncomfortable. Jai wiped himself down with a washcloth before fitting the bed with fresh sheets as Noel and I showered again.
When we were clean, I tossed Jai and Noel fresh underwear from my drawer. I swore half their wardrobes ended up in my room, but it wasn’t a problem; I loved wearing their clothes. Noel pulled on a shirt of Jai’s as I slipped one of Gideon’s huge sweaters over my head. Jai was comfortable in nothing but his boxers.
In our half-dressed states, we walked through the house. Mud was smeared on a few walls, and the carpet was wet in spots. I prayed Gideon didn’t notice before we had a chance to clean up the mess.
Following the sounds of chopping, we found Gideon in the kitchen. The island countertop was covered in flour and several mounds of dough. Beside the sink, he had little bowls filled with chopped vegetables. Jars of pizza sauce sat next to the stove where sausage sizzled in a skillet.
Gideon glanced over his shoulder as we entered, me in the middle, my hands captured by Jai’s and Noel’s. His ears reddened, but he smiled softly. “I thought this might be a make-your-own-pizza type of evening.”
With a squeeze to my Committeds’ hands, I released them and skipped to Gideon’s side. His sweater hung past my boxer-briefs, the sleeves swallowing my hands, and he must have found it amusing because he chuckled as I approached. He looked comfortable in a pair of sweatpants and a simple gray T-shirt.
“I like pizza,” I said as I tucked myself into his side.
“I thought you might.” He kissed the top of my head, and I didn’t think I could ever be happier than I was at this moment.
“I love you,” I said, taking his hand and kissing his palm.
He cupped my cheek, his thumb dragging over my bottom lip. “I love you too.”
Chapter Sixteen
I’d never understood people’s obsession with sex. It was messy, invasive, and awkward. It was scary and vulnerable and seemed like a lot of work, to be honest. I’d lived twenty years without it and figured I could survive the next twenty just fine.
Yeah, I never got it before. But I did now. Sex was kind of awesome.
It was still messy, invasive, vulnerable, and awkward, at times. It could be a lot of work. But it was worth it. So worth it.
With the newness of the bonds, I was easily riled up. When Jai walked past me in nothing but jogging shorts, sweat trickling down his spine from his run, I’d forget what I was doing in lieu of shadowing him to the bathroom, where he’d take me hard against the shower wall. When Noel bent over to empty the dishwasher, his jeans tightening over his butt, I’d leave the fridge door open, milk uncapped, mind on one thing and one thing only—dropping to my knees and sucking him until he climaxed.
I’d had more orgasms in the past few weeks than I had the first twenty years of my life. Though that probably spoke more to my terrible adolescent years than to how much sex I was actually having now. Thankfully, neither Jai nor Noel seemed annoyed by my neediness. To be honest, they were almost as desperate as I was.
I felt bad for Gideon. He was constantly surrounded by us and our uncontrollable hormones. For the most part, he wasn’t overly bothered. The only time he complained was when he caught Jai and me in the kitchen, Jai’s hand down my pants.
