touch.
Matthew went to take a step away from them, but Marcel reached out at the same time Andrew did and grabbed his arms to pull him back. He felt right there. Andrew was insanely happy that Marcel had obviously felt the same. They broke the kiss, both of them breathing a little heavier.
“Beautiful,” Matthew whispered, his voice a husky cadence. Andrew reached out and traced a hand down his chest.
“Thank you,” he said. He wanted to kiss Matthew, too, but didn’t want to come off as a slut. He was sure Marcel knew he didn’t normally throw himself at people, but Matthew didn’t. He swallowed. It was a weird impulse for him. He didn’t make it a habit to make out with more than one man in any given night. Granted, there had been a time or two when he’d gotten drunk in an effort to calm his nerves at conventions or after-race parties and made out with a few people. But he was completely and utterly sober and wanted both of them with a depth that would’ve scared him if he stopped to think about it too long.
Marcel was staring at Matthew again, and Andrew wasn’t sure what he was thinking. Despite the clarity in darkness that the moon gave, it was still impossible to pick up Marcel’s expression as he gazed at Matthew so intensely. “Andrew?”
Andrew looked up at him. Why was Marcel staring up at Matthew when he was talking to Andrew? “What?”
“Do you want to kiss him, baby?”
Andrew swallowed. “Is that okay?”
“I don’t own you, baby.”
“That’s not answering my question.” Andrew wasn’t going to do it if there would be tension and resentment on Marcel’s end. It was better to stop it now if that was the case.
Marcel sighed. “I think it’s hot. All right? I thought it was hot when you were kissing, but I didn’t want to be left out.”
“Not going to leave you out, Marcel,” Matthew cut in. “I told you I wanted both of you. I wasn’t kidding.”
“Like sex?” Andrew asked, his mind starting to clear from the two kisses he’d received.
“I wouldn’t take sex off the table,” Matthew said, smiling in the darkness. “But I’d like to take you both out as well when we get back to civilization.”
Andrew considered it. He saw how happy Jim, Jason, and Ager were and had seen other threesomes that were equally as happy. But it was never something he’d considered for himself before. Why not ?
“You don’t have to do this, Andy. Don’t feel pressured,” Marcel cut in before he could answer the statement.
“You don’t have to protect me, Marcel. I’d be willing to give it a try if you were.” The arousal that had dipped shortly into their conversation came flaring back to life as the idea of the three of them tangled together ghosted up in his mind. He didn’t want to wait.
“So you like me?” Marcel asked. The question was incredibly vulnerable for a man so used to being in control, and Andrew accepted it for what it was.
“I’ve liked you forever, Marcel. What took you so long?”
Marcel didn’t answer. Instead he crushed his lips with his own and proceeded to kiss him back into the frenzy he’d been in a moment ago. Matthew crowded in behind Andrew and pressed several kisses to his neck this time, and he was ensconced in 360 degrees of hot male. Marcel broke the kiss, and Andrew was left panting.
“We need to do this right,” Marcel said. “We can’t just start this with sex.”
Matthew chuckled against the curve of Andrew’s neck, and he shivered. “What better way to begin this? We aren’t guaranteed to live through tomorrow. Why not?”
Marcel didn’t have an answer, apparently, but Andrew certainly did. “I want this, Mar. Give it to me. He’s right. We don’t know if we’re going to live through tomorrow. If I die never having experienced you both, I’d regret it.”
Marcel let out a string of curses and took a step back. “I don’t want you to fuck me because we might die. I want you to fuck me because you really want me.”
Andrew frowned.
