“Oh, yeah, sex is distracting. I get it.” Gareth’s answer was sweet, but I did my best to ignore Bates’s giggles coming from the bedroom. “We just need a plan and then you won’t have to think so hard.”

I wasn’t sure a plan would help, but I nodded anyway. “Thank you for taking care of me.”

It was definitely a copout, but it made Gareth smile and it got me another kiss. “I like being able to take care of you. You and Bates are always taking care of me.”

And he wanted our relationship to be fair.

Thinking back to our first kisses with Bates made me smile and I felt lighter. “You take great care of me.”

He always had.

And he’d given me real family and a constant push to keep going.

Even with our fucked-up relatives, I’d never felt alone with him and bringing Bates into our family just made that feeing even stronger. “Are you ready to show me my surprise?”

That shifted his sweet smile into something eager and naughty. “Oh yes.”

But just as my nerves settled, he threw me for a loop. “But what are your thoughts on a tiny bit of pain?”

“I…” Swallowing, I took a second to find an answer to that question. “I put on my lists that I was okay with trying mild pain.”

It was the easiest response to get out, but it made Gareth frown. “That was kind of confusing.”

Probably.

“I don’t know.” Shrugging, I ended up curled up against his chest feeling smaller than normal. “I like how much you like it and I’m kind of curious. It’s just…new.”

I wasn’t sure if that made enough sense, but he was sweet and nodded anyway. “New is hard and being curious is hard too. But you know, being curious is what brought Bates into our life, so I think you should focus on that part and not the scary thoughts.”

And he had another good point.

“I’m glad you were curious.” I wasn’t doing terribly well at giving Gareth a lot to go on, but he seemed content with that response because he kissed my head and led me back toward the bedroom without me having to answer anything else.

Probably because my answers were driving him crazy.

He’d consider it rude to actually mention that, but he didn’t seem frustrated or confused when we finally got back to the bedroom to see Bates sitting on the end of the bed. “He’s ready.”

Gareth seemed confident about that and got a smile from Bates. “I’m glad.”

They were both insane.

But since nothing seemed to require me to talk, I decided to be polite and not point it out. I just waited as Bates stood up and gave both of us quick kisses before nodding at Gareth. That seemed to be the cue Gareth was waiting for because he started stripping me out of my clothes, taking his time with lots of kisses in between each piece coming off.

Shoulders and cheeks got kissed, so did the top of my head and then my belly button as he moved around in front of me to take off my pants. Some were sweet and others were just designed to get a reaction, but he made me laugh and I’d completely forgotten why I’d been stressed.

Of course, I remembered when Bates came up behind me, and suddenly, I was naked and sandwiched between them. “Now…now what?”

Gareth still looked way too innocent and eager as he smiled for us to be talking about sex, but Bates’s voice had already dropped lower and sexy as he kissed my neck. “Now we’re going to take our light and give him kisses and make him sparkle.”

How he managed to say that without sounding ridiculous I’d never know. It should’ve been stupid, but it just made my dick harder and a shiver raced through me.

“I can’t wait to make you feel as good as you make me feel.” Gareth’s earnest response and the tender kiss he gave me had me melting into Bates.

He didn’t seem to mind because he held me tight and kissed my head. “All you have to do is relax and let us kiss you.”

I could do that.

Nodding, I closed my eyes and let out a breath. It seemed to be some kind of signal to them because their hands started caressing over me, not just trying to tease and relax me that time, and Gareth sprinkled kisses along my neck.

Just when I’d gotten to the point where their hands and lips were the only things I was thinking about, they slowly started inching us toward the bed. When we stopped, I opened my eyes, but I shouldn’t have bothered because they both picked me up and set me down on the bed as I grumbled.

They mostly managed to keep their smiles to themselves, but Gareth was just a bit too perky as Bates walked around the other side of the bed. It was a brilliant distraction and I didn’t even realize what they were doing until they brought out cuffs from the sides of the bed.
