I grin as my eyes trace over the lettering of the certificate.
“I think I threw mine away,” I admit. “Maybe I should have kept it though as a memento of sorts. That program was fucking brutal.”
“Tell me about it,” my buddy grunts. “I still have nightmares. Remember Lydia Chlamydia?”
I nod.
“Yeah, we thought she was so deranged that it could only be from a runaway case of chlamydia, but she was right about a lot of things,” I remark ruefully. “Like getting payroll done by a specialist and finding a trustworthy accountant.”
Liam’s brows raise.
“Who would have guessed, right?”
We both laugh as Alyssa leans forward and giggles.
“I’ll have to find out more about Lydia Chlamydia,” she says. “She sounds really interesting. But you know why you’re really over, right Bart? Because of last night?”
My heart begins to race but I continue to lounge on the couch, looking every bit the part of a relaxed alpha male. “Yeah. Thank you for letting me join you guys last night, actually. I had a great time.”
Liam nods. “It’s not a problem at all, my man. It was definitely a surprise, though, when I looked up and saw you lurking in the shadows.”
I let out a bark of laughter.
“Yeah, that was a little weird, I admit. Didn’t mean to stalk, bro. I mean, I should have known by the way you two are always all over each other that you’d eventually take up in my bedroom. But still, it’s always a surprise to find people making out on your bed.”
Liam smirks.
“Sorry,” he says, although of course, he’s not sorry at all. Meanwhile, Alyssa leans forward then, giving me a great view of that lush décolletage with a concerned expression on her face.
“Well, what did you think of what happened?” she asks slowly. “I mean, was it everything you expected?”
I stop to think for a moment.
“I wasn’t expecting anything,” I say truthfully. “I wasn’t even expecting to join you in bed. It kind of just happened, and if I’d gotten any indication to stop or slow down, I would have halted immediately and left. But it seems like you guys were into it.”
Alyssa blushes.
“We were,” she admits. “But I want you to know that we’re not exhibitionists or anything. We’ve never done anything like that before.”
I nod. “Sure. It was a one time thing. I get it.”
Is this there way of telling me that I’m free to go now? That I’ll never get to sample Alyssa’s sweet curves again? Dang, I was hoping not, but you never know with this kind of situation. But I decide to take things into my own hands then.
“How do you feel?” I probe. “Both of you,” I add, my attention going between the pretty girl and her boyfriend.
Liam shrugs and grins, which is expected. He tends to be a go-with-the-flow kind of guy and it takes a lot to ruffle his feathers. Besides, I knew he wanted me to join them in bed. If he hadn’t, he would have thrown me out of the room last night, even though the property technically belongs to me.
“I’m totally fine with it,” my buddy says after a brief pause. “All I care about is that Alyssa is happy, and if being with both of us does that, then I’m willing to share.”
Alyssa bites her lip and looks down. She’s hesitant, and obviously still trying to wrap herself around what happened.
“What do you think, honey?” I ask gently. “Your opinion matters more than either of ours.”
She looks up slowly then, and takes a deep breath so that her generous bosom rises.
“I guess I just want to take things one step at a time,” she begins.
I nod.
“We can do that.”
She exhales in a big gust.
“Good because I asked Liam earlier and he said that this wasn’t premeditated, but Bart, did you somehow know you were going to join us last night? Like, was it in your head that something might happen?”
I think for a moment.
“No, at least not consciously. I mean, yes I was hoping to get to know you better, but I never thought it’d turn into what it did.”
She nods and bites her lip, and I take the opportunity to pose my question once more.
“You haven’t told us how you feel about all this,” I remind gently. “What did you think about last night?”
She blushes hotly then.
“Well, I loved being with both of you,” she admits in a low voice as her cheeks turn pink. “I’d honestly never even considered having a threesome in the past, but I’m glad it happened.”
My heart begins pounding heavily in my chest.
“Would you be willing to do it again?”
“Right now?” she gasps, her eyes wide.
I laugh. “I don’t mean right this second, sweetheart, but in general. Would you be willing to try out a relationship that involves all three of us?”
