Page 42 of All of Us

“He’s still in bed. Can this wait?”

“No. I need him.” It’s critical for me. “Is he naked?”

Arthur really scowled at me now. “Probably. You know it’s our marital bed. What is this about?”

“Umm. I can’t tell you.”

“Why?” His voice was going deeper, and I knew he was getting pissed off.

“If Mont wants to tell you after he can, but I promise you, you don’t want to know. It will make you uncomfortable.” He shook his head.

“Let me go get him.” He started to walk away.

I held up my bag. “I brought coffee and donuts!” Then I gave him a smile. “Thank you.”

“Yeah. I’ll be right back.” I watched as he walked into the other room, and I let out a sigh of relief. Mont would know what to do; he had a colorful past.

I sat down on their couch, and both dragons came over to me, rubbed on my body, and looked for love and attention. Drake, the black dragon that was Montgomery’s, pushed his way under my shirt. I knew I was allowed to give them a small treat, so I pulled off a piece of a donut and gave them both a nibble.

“Stop indulging them. They are spoiled enough.” Montgomery’s deep voice came from down the hall. He had on some pajama pants and a t-shirt.

“I’m sorry to wake you up.”

“This better be good. Does this have something to do with your personal life?” He raised his eyebrow at me. Drachen Arthur’s light green dragon curled up on his lap as he got comfortable. Choosing to be with us instead of back in bed.

“Your brother is losing his shit worried about you.”

“I know. You can tell him what’s going on, I don’t think he would understand because he is so hopelessly in love with the one man he has ever given his heart to.”

The smile on his face told me everything; he loved my brother just as much. They have an amazing love story, including when Mont saved him from a ferret.

“What’s going on that brings you here at this ungodly hour?”

Holding up the coffee and donuts, I tried to look charming. “I brought these.”

He got mugs from the kitchen and filled them both with the steaming liquid. When he sat back on the couch, Drachen back in place, I knew it was time.

“Okay, lay it on me. We are still talking about two men?”

I blushed, yeah. “I didn’t tell you who before, but I think I have to now.”

I took a deep breath. It was time to give him the whole truth.

“Dusty and I have been fooling around for a while. I didn’t have much experience with men, and he helped me…learn. We have a friends with benefits thing.”

Mont raised his eyebrow at me. Was he surprised? “I can see that. Actually, I wondered if there was something there. What’s the status of that situation?”

“He didn’t want anything more. Here is the problem. Lately, he has talked about wanting to date. Unfortunately, it came at the same time I started getting together with Gentry.” My heart was beating double when I thought about my cowboy. Mine? ”We have so much fun together, and he gets me.”

“Who is Gentry?”

I smiled. “Gentry is the man from the Circle W who is teaching me to ride. And Martin Wilson is sending him with me to the dude ranch. He is an amazing guy, but very different than Dusty.”

I watched as Mont nodded his head, his hand rubbing over Drachen’s back, while Drake slept happily in my shirt.

“You’re having sex with both of them?” Well, that was direct, but I had come here for advice.

“Yeah.” I knew I was bright red, and I couldn’t look him in the eye.
