“Let me remind you once again of my words from earlier,” he said. “This sucks on so many levels.”
Sebastian laughed as he climbed out of the car. Aiden didn’t have much else to say. There wasn’t really anything he could say. His life had just hit a major crossroads, and he wasn’t sure which direction to walk toward.
However, the tall, luscious man standing by the front porch of a cabin seemed to be his best bet. Aiden grabbed his bags and walked up to Zac. He stood on the step just below the man and gazed up at him.
“Hey, handsome, come here often?” Zac chuckled. Aiden leaned into the callused hand that Zac placed against his cheek, wishing that they had just a few minutes of alone time. Ten minutes would work.
“I’ve been here once or twice,” Zac replied. “However, since I just met you and Matt, I’d like to show the two of you around the place. Do you think your friend there could occupy himself for a few minutes?”
Aiden didn’t even turn away from the blue eyes looking down at him. He just yelled over his shoulder. “Sebastian, bring in the bags.”
“Ah, man,” Sebastian whined good-naturedly. “I always get stuck doing the heavy lifting.”
“I could help,” Matt said as he sidled up to Sebastian.
Aiden laughed when Zac rolled his eyes. “Matt!”
“Sorry, I keep forgetting,” Matt said quickly as he hurried over to stand next to Zac. His face was red, his eyes darting around. “He just smells so good.”
Zac chuckled and wrapped his arm around Matt’s shoulders. “I guess I need to claim you a few more times before the effect lessens on you.”
Matt seemed to brighten right up, a happy grin covering his cute, little face. “Okay.”
“Yeah, about that,” Aiden began. “How does the whole mating thing between the three of us work? I mean, do we get separate places to live and just date? Do you spend half the week in my bed and half the week in Matt’s? What?”
Zac’s dark eyebrows drew together as he frowned. “Well, I was kind of hoping that you might agree to live here with me and Matt. As for the rest of it, I don’t know what the rules are or how it’s done. I guess we do what feels right for us and fuck everybody else.”
“I think I like that idea,” Aiden said. He glanced down at Matt’s eager face. “What about you, Matt? Zac mated you first. How do you feel about sharing?”
“Me or Zac?” Matt asked.
“Uh, both?” Aiden answered. He knew he was stepping out on a limb. Zac didn’t have to share either of them. Technically, Aiden and Matt were only mated to Zac. They weren’t mated to each other.
There might never be a connection between them.
Matt grinned. “That could be fun.”
Aiden swallowed past the lump that suddenly lodged in his throat.
The glint in Matt’s eyes made his cock harden. The smile that Zac shot down to the little man made Aiden wish for a flat surface. Both men seemed to be in support of the idea that the three of them should try things out together.
“So, about this tour—”
Zac gestured toward the house. “Right this way,” he said as he started walking. “Would you like the full tour or just the highlights?”
Aiden glanced down when he felt Matt nudge him. He arched an eyebrow at the smaller man.
“I say we go for the highlights.” Matt chuckled. “We can see the rest of the place later.”
Aiden grinned. “The highlights it is.”
Matt looped his arm through Aiden’s, and the two of them followed Zac through the house. Aiden would have liked to have taken a longer look at the floor-to-ceiling bookshelves built into one wall of the living room, or even the cozy-looking fireplace on another, but getting down the hallway seemed to be more important.
“This is the living room,” Zac said as he walked straight through it. He looked like a man on a mission. “That’s the dining room, and just around the corner there is the kitchen. I have an office through the door to the left of the front
