“Best surprise, yet,” I tell her and then open the door wider for her to come in. She’s still holding Johnny in her arms.
“Buddy, you may want to give Candy’s arms a break,” I say as I go to take him from her arms.
“No. I want to stay right here.”
“He’s okay, maybe he just needs to be held for a few minutes longer?” she questions.
“As long as you’re okay. I know this week has been hard on you too, honey.”
“I’m good, I promise.” We all walk into the kitchen. Johnny only allowing her to set him down so he can eat his dinner and I feel horrible I don’t have food for her.
“I didn’t think you’d be here for dinner,” I say. I’m already grabbing another plate and halving my food with her.
“I’m okay. I can just go grab something. I wasn’t even thinking about dinner. My only thought was coming to see my two favorite guys.”
“We can share this, then we can have ice cream for dessert,” I say, with a wink.
She makes her way toward me and her arms wrap around my waist. Her head goes to my shoulder and she hugs me. I don’t want to let her go. With that thought, I don’t let her go.
It’s only when her stomach growls and we both laugh, do I let her go. She sits beside Johnny and we all chow down on our dinner.

Candy
Dylan and I tucked Johnny into bed. I thought ahead of time and packed a few things for tonight, mainly clothes and a few toiletries. I have to open up the bakery tomorrow, so that means an early morning for me.
“You’re positive it’s okay if I spend the night? I have to be up and out of the door at six o’clock in the morning,” I tell Dylan, as he carries my bag into the master bedroom.
“I don’t want you to leave, Candy. If I had my way, you’d move in this weekend,” he grunts.
“Don’t you think it’s too soon? What if you don’t like me or what if Johnny decides he doesn’t want me in his life?” These are all valid questions. He’s made noise before about me moving in with them, but I’m still apprehensive. Especially for Johnny’s sake.
“I want you now and forever, we’ve already known each other the past couple of months. Johnny and I weren’t going to the bakery just for desserts. I knew I wanted you to be mine the minute I laid eyes on you, honey. As for Johnny, I think after the way he threw a fit because he couldn’t see “His Candy” as he stated, says it all. He practically stuck to you like an octopus,” he states.
“I’m just worried, is all,” I tell him, with a small voice and my eyes looking over his shoulder.
Dylan takes my face in the palm of his hands and guides me to look into his eyes.
“I want you here, Johnny wants you here. You are where you’re meant to be, here with us. We can take this as slow as you need, but know this, babe. This is us, and this is real. The three of us and maybe one day we’ll add a couple more,” he says.
His words alone make me take the leap as I lean into him, my lips find his and then Dylan is taking over. My back is on the bed and my hips are cradling his. He’s right in everything, this life was meant for us to live, and I want to live my life to the fullest with him and Johnny.
My hands go under the white tee shirt he’s wearing, and I go to pull it off of his body, except I get stuck when it comes to our mouths not wanting to let go of each other’s.
“Fuck, let me take this off,” Dylan grouses. Then he sits up, in between my spread legs. He takes off his shirt and he’s left in his jeans. They’re riding low on his hips and I can see every hard muscle along his chest down to his abs, and even the deep v on his sides. My eyes linger there and that’s where Dylan finds me gazing when he looks at me.
He slowly unbuttons his jeans and leaves them open. I bring my hands to my own shirt, but my hands are moved before they can complete my task.
“I want to undress you, Candy. I want to taste every inch of your skin before I make you mine,” he whispers out.
I lift my arms up as he takes off my tee shirt.
Dylan unclasps my black lace bra, throwing it over his head somewhere in the bedroom and I can’t help but laugh.
“God, look how beautiful you are laying there for me. I’m going to savor every moment,” he murmurs and then he’s shifting downward as he rolls my leggings down. Once those are off, I’m completely bare for him now, except for my matching lace panties.
