Chase knew talking was the answer. Leah wouldn’t believe them if they told her they were in love with her. He’d known her for too long for her to accept that as an answer. They’d need to show her with actions and words.
“Whatever happens, I’m not having another date walking through that door. Leah is ours.”
“Sharing her is a huge step for all of us, Chase. Even for us.”
They’d argued about who was going to take her to the prom. Chase remembered the fight they’d had in his back yard trying to win the honour of taking her to prom. Instead, they’d been pulled apart by Chase’s father and been told to settle it like gentlemen. They had had to talk through their problems. Both of them had confessed to loving Leah. His father had said she needed to be the one to choose.
She’d ended up going to prom with a jock on the pissing wrestling team. Chase had then decided to go with another girl and Mitch the same. Over the years, they’d dated girls and watched her date other guys, never wanting to push her into anything.
Sharing an apartment had been a genius idea of Mitch’s father. However, seeing her date other men was the worst.
Chase shook his head. “I’m going to bed.”
Then, after too many beers they’d begun fighting once again while she was out on a date. They had both come to an agreement. Both of them loved Leah and wanted her to be happy, but they didn’t want her to have a choice. They had heard of ménage relationships as Mitch had a cousin in a place called Law Castle. The little town was predominantly filled with ménage relationships, so they knew it could be done.
“Good-night,” Mitch said.
Chase left his friend to close off the television as he made his way into the bathroom. The scent of Leah assailed him. She loved using lemon and honey shampoo. The beautiful scent complemented her perfectly.
Chase grabbed his toothbrush and began to brush his teeth. A piece of pink fabric caught his eye. He turned, with the toothbrush in his hand, and saw Leah’s pink thong. Bending down to pick it up, Chase stared at the small piece of fabric that had been close to her pussy.
Not wanting to invade her privacy, he placed the scrap in the washing basket before going back to the sink. His cock was thicker than before. He finished brushing his teeth then made his way to his bedroom across from Leah. Mitch waved his goodnight as he closed the door.
Chase’s heart was racing as he leaned against the door. That small piece of fabric threatened to undo him. Only minutes earlier, that piece of fabric had been nestled between her thighs, touching her creamy pussy. He moaned, pushing his jeans down his hips and onto the floor.
Chase padded over to the bed and then climbed between the sheets. His cock was long, thick, and sticking up in the air.
Many nights had passed with him fucking his fist, but this night wasn’t going to be one of them. He wanted Leah, the real woman. Not his fantasies. His fantasies were no longer strong enough to keep him interested.
No, he wanted Leah, naked, in his arms and between Mitch and himself. That was what he wanted more than anything.
****
Mitch picked up the beer bottles, turned off the television, and walked into the kitchen. He hated the thought of Leah having to clean up after them. When they’d first moved into the apartment, she’d done most of the cleaning. Now they had a job schedule of who did what. He looked on the fridge to see it was his job to go grocery shopping.
Shit.
He’d completely forgotten to go shopping. That explained why she had been eating spicy potato chips instead of her usual chocolate ice cream. He pulled out his cell phone and typed in his tasks and then placed it into his alarm so after work tomorrow he’d be notified to go shopping.
Walking into the bathroom, he scented Leah in the air combined with Chase. He grabbed his toothbrush and began brushing his teeth thinking about his two best friends. Chase and Leah meant the world to him. He’d do anything for them. Chase was like a brother rather than his best friend. However, his feelings for Leah had been going a little crazy of a late.
Chase was more vocal in his feelings whereas Mitch kept them locked up. He was worried in case his feelings would send Leah running scared. The love he felt for her was not sweet but intense. He wanted her badly. His every waking thought was devoted to her.
No other woman would ever replace her in his mind. She was his everything.
He washed his face then made his way to the third bedroom. Flicking on the light, he stripped down to his birthday suit before climbing into bed. He turned on his lamp, then picked up the photograph he kept beside the bed.
The photograph was a picture of all three of them at graduation. Their parents had been there to take it for them. Their friendship had been one of their unusual qualities. No one dared to tear them apart. Being apart from one another never entered their heads. At least, it had never entered his head. He loved being with his two friends. They understood him. He knew Leah and Chase loved him for who he was. Mitch remembered his father’s words trying to reassure him that when he got to high-school they’d drift apart.
“You’ll find new friends. Leah and Chase will be a thing of the past.”
Mitch hadn’t needed to be reassured. Who would want to have any other friends? He figured his dad was just trying to warn him. He knew a lot of friends drifted apart. They never had. No matter how many classes they had differently or the teasing they got. They stuck together through thick and thin.
The only time they’d come close to losing their friendship had been the fight over Leah. His father and Chase’s had sat down with them and talked. Leah needed to make a choice. When she hadn’t made a choice, Mitch had sat down with him again a few years later. It was after they had graduated and moved into this apartment, and his father had told him about his cousin down in Law Castle.
“What are you trying to say?” Mitch asked.
“I’m saying, son, that sometimes women don’t have to make a choice. Leah loves both you and Chase. I don’t think she’ll ever pick between the two of you.”
Those words kept him going. His father never lied to him. The thought of sharing her with Chase filled him with excitement.
They hadn’t been celibate. Both of them had gone out and fucked plenty of women. They hadn’t shared a woman before. Leah would be their first and only woman.
