“Hi to you. Feeling better?”

“I’ve been hard since before I left the house this morning.” Daniel adjusted the angle of the phone again, this time bringing his flushed face into view. “That was the longest flight ever.”

“Better now?”

“I’m still hard,” he murmured, and I could see the muscles in his arm flex as he kept touching himself out of frame.

“What were you thinking about that made you so hard?”

“You know.”

I smiled, wishing I could take him into my mouth. “Tell me anyway.”

“You and Finn being together while I’m gone.”

“And you like the idea?”

Daniel’s entire body shuddered. “Clearly.”

“What would you enjoy more, do you think? Knowing it was happening without you and being told after the fact or hearing it happen on the phone when you’re too far away to do anything about it? Or propped up on the nightstand so you can watch?”

The heat I’d earlier felt in my chest sank low into my belly and lower still between my legs. I pressed my thighs together.

“If the roles were reversed, which would you want?”

The question was a loaded one because even when the two of them had been together down the hall while I sat in the living room, listening to them be intimate was the most exquisite kind of torture. Hearing the moans and the sounds coming from down the hallway had turned me on beyond measure, butlistening to them felt almost like an intrusion. I tried to imagine a different circumstance that involved the two of them together and what I would want it to be.

“It feels situational,” I answered honestly.

“I know.” Daniel’s head hit the hotel pillow, and he groaned, closing his eyes. “I think all three have a place and I’m fine with all three. It depends on what feels right for the two of you. If you want to have time with just him, I want that for you."

“And I want that for you.”

“I’m perfectly okay with whatever feels right,” he said. “I don’t want it to be something it’s not.”

“I don’t think it could be anything other than what it is.”

The corner of Daniel’s mouth lifted into a smile, and he flopped his arm across the top of his forehead.

“You’re right, and I love you.”

“I love you too,” I told him, realizing in the way both of our voices had tipped up at the end of our statements we might very well both be in love with Finn too.

CHAPTER 28

DANIEL

It was almost midnight by the time I got back to my hotel room. I was dead on my feet and ready to pass out, but an incoming text from Finn was enough to bring me back to life.

Finn

Are you up still?

Barely.

The phone lit up with an incoming video call and I answered it. Finn’s face filled the screen, his chest bare, and his head lolled back and resting against the wall over my headboard. His jaw was slack, and he let out a little moan. His hand moved slightly in the bottom of the frame, petting over the top of a familiar-looking head of hair that bobbed up and down on his lap.

“I fucked your fiancé in her wedding dress today,” Finn said instead of hello.
