“Well, I get nude in front of a camera for money. For a lot of guys, that would be a dealbreaker.”
“For a lot of guys, it probably would be,” August agreed.
“Not to mention I’ve… been having sex with someone else,” I added. “Kai. You didn’t know about him before.”
“You made it very clear up front that we weren’t exclusive,” Michael said. “At the time, that kind of stung. I assumed you had another guy on the side.”
“Or worse: thatwewere the guys on the side,” August chimed in.
“But operating under that assumption, I got used to the idea,” Michael said. “It doesn’t bother me.”
“Are you sure? It’s easy for you to say that now, but once it really sinks in…”
Michael shook his head. “I’ve known all week. That’s why I stayed home, even after my cold went away. I had plenty of time to consider it. And I’m okay with it.” He cupped my cheek with a big palm. “If anything, I’m glad to know more of you.Allof you.”
He kissed me, and I felt the tension disappear from my chest. I believed him.
“And what about you?” I said, turning toward August.
“What about me?”
“You’re fine being with a woman who runs an OnlyFans page?”
August snorted. “Are you kidding? I’m a big voyeur. I love watching other people have sex. I’ve been into watching you and Mikey do it since that first night.”
“Sure, but you know Michael. If it’s another guy…”
“I’ve watched you and Kai have sex so many times by now that I’ve lost count.”
I blinked. “You have?”
“Well, yeah,” he said, picking up his pizza slice again. “After Mikey told me about his OnlyFans crush, I watched a few videos myself. You’re hot as fuck.” He took a big bite. “I’m kind of embarrassed I didn’t recognize that phat ass, though.”
I playfully slapped at him.
“What? That’s a compliment. Girls can have round butts these days. We’re living in the golden age of asses.”
I laughed at the two of them. It felt good to laugh after everything that had happened today. I had spent so much time treating my OnlyFans side-hustle as an albatross around my neck that nobody would accept. Yet August and Michael didn’t even care. It felt like I had opened a basement door expecting to find cockroaches, and instead discovering a stack of winning lottery tickets.
There was a knock on the door. “Let me guess,” I said. “A bucket of mini tacos being delivered?”
“Not exactly,” August said, reaching for the door. “But it is something you’re going to stuff your mouth with.”
He opened it, revealing Kai.

Ginny
“What are you doing here?” I blurted out.
“Good to see you too,” he said, stepping inside. August clapped him on the shoulder, and Michael gave him a friendly nod.
“Sorry. I didn’t mean it like that.” I gave him a hug. “I didn’t expect to see you here.”
“We figured we’d invite the third member of the Guys Who Are Having Sex With Ginny club,” August explained.
“There are only three members, right?” Michael asked. “Not that it’s a big deal if there are more! But…”
