Zane’s heart clenched as Asa pushed his fingers through his curls gently. Asa was rarely soft with Zane, but when he was, it shook him to his core. When he looked up, Asa was staring. “What? What’s wrong?”

“Are you still okay with all of this?” Asa asked. “The four of us together like this?”

Zane couldn’t stop the laugh that escaped. “What you walked in on a few minutes ago didn’t make that answer clear enough?”

“Oh, I know you love Felix,” Asa said. “But do you still love me? Are you still okay with living with Felix and Avi forever?”

Zane frowned. “Where is this coming from? I do love Felix. And I love you. Just in two entirely different ways. I need you both. I’m not me without the two of you and Felix isn’t himself without me and Avi. Are you still okay with the four of us? Does it bother you that I love Felix, too?”

Asa shook his head. “No. If it was anyone else in the world, I would kill them. Without hesitation. Then I’d probably chain you up and fuck you again and again until you remembered who you belong to. But it’s different with Felix. He’s…like Avi. He’s family. He’s an…extension of me. He’s the parts that I can’t give you.”

“Good. ‘Cause I can’t live without any of you, and once we bring a baby into this house, it’s game over. I’m going to fall head over heels for that child and you’ll pry them out of my cold, dead hands. I don’t care whose DNA he carries.”

Asa grinned. “Duly noted, Lois. Duly noted.”

“Good. Now, tell me you love me.”

“I love you above all things, Lois,” Asa said, his gaze soft.

Once more, Zane’s heart tripped in his chest. “Now, tell me I’m pretty,” he said, suddenly desperate to lighten the mood.

Asa kissed him softly. “So pretty.”

Zane shivered, then pressed his mouth to Asa’s again, running his tongue along the seam of his lips, whimpering when Asa’s hand ran along his hip and squeezed.

“I thought you wanted a nap?” Asa purred against his lips.

“You started this,” Zane whispered. “You can’t be all soft and sweet with me and think I’m not going to want you to fuck me again.”

Asa rolled him onto his back, parting his knees with his thighs. “Yeah? You want me to be soft with you, Lois?”

“Would you?”

Asa ghosted his lips over Zane’s. “Sure. If that’s what you want.”

What would that even be like? “I-I’m not sure. How about you just start and we…see how it goes?”

“I can tell you how it’s going to go, Lois,” Asa said, kissing his way along his collarbone. “I’m going to slowly take you apart, and ten minutes from now, you’re going to tell me to forget what you said and fuck you like an animal. But that’s okay. I’ll pretend to be surprised when you’re begging me to hurt you.”

Zane’s cock was already hard against Asa’s hip. “Yeah, that works. Let’s do that.”

“You’re the boss, Lois.”

Zane smiled. Who wouldn’t want this life? These men? This feeling? Zane was the luckiest man in the world. And he couldn’t be happier.

Even though the sun was blazing through the windows, Felix and Zane were still in bed. Not their own separate beds, but the bed in the spare room.

The group bed.

Zane had never changed out of his black and red checkered pajama pants—the perks of working from home—but Felix had gone through all the effort of readying himself for the day only to end up back in Zane’s sweatpants and Avi’s sleeveless shirt.

It wasn’t often the two were home all alone, but when they were, it was usually all snuggles and movies. All the things that made Asa and Avi fidget and whine. While the twins were polar opposites in many ways, when it came to sitting still for any length of time, they were like toddlers, squirming and complaining and finding any excuse to escape the confines of the sofa.

Felix wasn’t supposed to be home. He was supposed to be at his loft, sketching new designs for the spring line.

But he just couldn’t do it.

He’d done all the things. He’d gotten up, showered, gotten dressed, kissed Zane and Asa goodbye, and then he and Avi had left for work. Once there, Felix had made his tea and opened his email. And that was when everything had fallen apart.
