Chapter Fifteen

Jonah

––––––––

When I heard the front door close behind Isaac I looked down at Cody’s smiling face.

He was like a new man. Before there had always been a shadow behind his eyes, something stopping him from showing the world who he really was. I’d seen a hint of the man he could be the first time I’d talked to him, even with his nerves and stumbling answers, but to see the transformation in him was incredible.

He smiled more, laughed freely, and he couldn’t stop touching us. Before we had to be so careful not to push or spook him, but now he reached out and not only showed us casual affection, he also seemed to crave it.

I loved seeing this version of Cody, but there was still that little voice in the back of my mind telling me I wasn’t really part of this arrangement.

Cody was passive and a bit submissive. Isaac could be dominant but preferred to be neutral, neither taking control or handing over his power. I was the one who took charge without thinking, and I worried that with Cody’s transformation, they’d fall into a new dynamic.

They’d needed me to help bring Cody out of his shell and to show Isaac a different side of himself. Now they were finding a new groove, and I could see how much they loved each other.

I couldn’t compete with their history, and while I was grateful to be a part of their present, I knew there was no place for me in their future. Isaac and Cody were perfect together, and I was just a momentary distraction.

Neither man had given me any indication that they didn’t want me there or felt I was filling in a gap, but the truth was obvious. I just wished I hadn’t fallen in love with them.

“Did you have fun tonight?” I asked Cody, running my hands through his long hair.

“I always have fun when I’m with you guys.” He smiled up at me.

“Me too. How was work?”

“Pretty good. I was working with Zander and Tristan so it was a pretty fun day. How was yours?”

“Good. We’re planning some new things for the kids so that’s always fun.”

“Like what?”

“A few excursions, and hosting some volunteer and fundraising events.”

“I wish I could do more to help out there. They saved my life. Evan might have given me a chance to have one, but the shelter saved it.”

Cody didn’t talk much about his time at Open Arms, and he’d never mentioned his life before after that one chat we’d had.

“I wish places like that didn’t have to exist, but I’m happy I get to help.”

“Same.” He nodded thoughtfully.

“Have you thought of what you might want to do in the future?” I asked casually. I knew Cody was happy at the bar and he had plenty of time to figure things out, but I was curious as to what he might have planned for the future.

“I was kinda thinking about going back to school.” He blushed and looked up at me.

“What for?”

“I’m not exactly sure. I want to help people, but haven’t figured out how yet.”

“There’s a lot of options out there. You’ll figure it out when it’s time.”

“Yeah, I keep forgetting I’m only twenty-one.”

“Trust me, I never forget that.” I chuckled but Cody looked up at me with concern in his eyes.

“What do you mean? Does our age difference bother you?”

“No, it doesn’t bother me. It’s just something I notice from time to time.”

“Like when?”

“Just random times.” I didn’t want to get into it, but there were a few times when I’d felt like an old man next to them. They were so open and free, and I sometimes felt I was bringing them down.

“Well, you shouldn’t. You balance us out.”

I smiled but didn’t say anything. I wanted to believe him, but I was still afraid that I was the odd man out in the equation.

“Oh, I have to tell you what Tristan did this morning at work.” Cody’s eyes lit up as he changed the subject.

As he launched into an animated conversation about Tristan having to kick a couple of drunk guys out of the bar before noon I felt myself relaxing.

It was then I realized Cody and I had never really spent any alone time together. It was nice, just the two of us talking, and as the conversation shifted and evolved, I found myself completely relaxed and at ease. There was something so calming about Cody. It was true he could drive me crazy with a single look, but then there were these kinds of moments where just talking with him made me melt and smile.

I heard Isaac’s car drive up about ten minutes later and looked down at Cody. “I think he’s here.”

“You’re so comfy. I almost don’t want to move.”

“How will you eat your snack if you don’t?” I asked teasingly.

“I have you to feed it to me.” He winked cheekily and I shook my head playfully.

“Nope. I only feed grapes.”

“Think Isaac will mind going out for grapes?”

I laughed and rubbed my hand through his hair. “He might have issues with that.”

“Mmmmm. I love when you do that.” He smiled up at me, almost purring. “It feels so good.”

“I love making you feel good.”

“You do, Jonah, every day. Just thinking about you makes me feel good.”

My throat tightened at his words as a wave of sadness washed over me. He might think that now, but it wouldn’t last.

“So, what’s this surprise you have for us?”

“You’ll see. I think you’ll like it.”

“I’m so curious I’m tempted to skip the snack.”

“We’ll bring it to my room and eat later. If we have any energy left, that is.”

Cody flushed at my words and nodded.

“Come on, let’s go greet our man.”

Cody eagerly took the hand I offered him and I helped him sit up. “You okay?” I asked when he paused and shook his head.

“Just a bit dizzy. I sat up too fast. I’m good.”

As we stood and headed toward the stairs the front door opened and Isaac strode into the house with two small duffle bags and a plastic bag from the grocery store in his hands.

“Still expecting the boogeyman to come in while we’re upstairs?” I teased as Isaac took a moment to lock the door.

“I’m not taking any chances with you guys. If you want to tempt fate and leave it unlocked that’s your prerogative. Just know that I’m going to go ape shit on your ass if anything happens to you because you think you still live in Mayberry.”

“Funny, the subdivision I grew up in was called Mayfield.”

“Yeah, well this is the real world and bad people do bad shit all the time. You’re mine and I don’t intend to let anything happen to either of you. Not on my watch.”

“My hero,” Cody drawled teasingly as Isaac followed us up the stairs.

“That’s it. Your ass is mine tonight,” Isaac growled playfully as he reached out and pinched Cody’s ass.

“What if Jonah wants it?” Cody tossed a teasing look over his shoulder. “Ever think about that?”

“Nah. Isaac can have your ass, I’m going to take his.”

“Deal,” both men said together, and promptly dissolved into giggles.

When we were in my room I waited until Isaac had dropped the bags in the corner before I picked two small bags up off my dresser.

“Do we get a hint?” Isaac asked playfully.

“Andrew Christian,” I supplied.

“Who’s that?” Cody asked as he looked between us.

I glanced over at Isaac and saw that his eyes were hooded as he looked at the bag in his hands and then up at me. He knew who Andrew Christian was.

“He makes a line of things I’m a big fan of,” I said cryptically as I nodded to the bag. “Open it.”

Cody reached in and pulled out an aqua blue jock, and his cheeks turned pink as he looked between Isaac and I.

Isaac was holding a matching jock, only his was royal blue.

“Please tell me you have one too,” Isaac said as he looked me up and down. “Otherwise I’m getting online and one-clicking the fuck out of a pair for you.”

“I have one too.” I grinned and went over to my underwear drawer. “I actually have a whole bunch.”

Isaac and Cody watched me with hungry eyes as I dug through my collection. Sometimes I liked to wear jocks instead of briefs, so I had quite a few to choose from. “How about this one. I haven’t broken it in yet.”

I pulled out a navy blue jock with the tags still on it and my men nodded in unison.

“I’ve never worn anything like this before.” Cody looked between us. “But fuck me I want to see you in yours.”

“Cody, go into the bathroom to change. Isaac into the closet and I’ll stay here. Put them on and then come out when I tell you.”

Isaac and Cody nodded eagerly and took off into their respective change areas.

Smiling at their willingness I stripped off my clothes and pulled on the jock, ripping the tag off as I did. I would have worn it ahead of time if I’d known both men were coming over and surprised them after we started undressing, but this threeway reveal was much better.

“Ready?” I called out when I didn’t hear any rustling.

“Ready.”

“Yup.”

“Then come out.”

As Cody emerged from the bathroom Isaac stepped out of the closet, and my jaw actually dropped.

Seeing their tight, toned bodies in regular briefs was enough to send my arousal into overdrive, but the jocks brought things to a whole new level.

Their cocks were already hard and the small swatch of material in the front could barely cover their erections. The straps framed their incredible bubble butts, showcasing every muscle and line of their bodies.

They were perfect, and for now, they were mine.

The three of us looked at each other for a long moment, then we came together in a crash of warm bodies, seeking hands and crushing lips.

I lost track of who I was kissing, whose skin I was running my hands over, and which one of my men was touching me at any given moment.

After a few minutes I forced us to slow down. Isaac was pressed up against my side as Cody stood in front of me. They were kissing each other, their tongues sliding together in a sensual dance as they ran their hands over my body. I shifted so I could push them together then gently ran my hands up and down their backs, urging them to slow their pace.

They understood my hints, and soon their kisses became long and languid as they held me against them.

When Isaac broke the kiss, his lips seeking mine so he could plunder my willing mouth. I could feel him shaking slightly and knew it was time to get things started.

The moment Isaac pulled back I reached down and picked Cody up, giving him a chance to wrap his arms and legs around me before I walked him over to my bed, kissing him as I did. He moaned against my lips and then gasped when I leaned over and lay him on the mattress.

“Jonah,” Isaac groaned as I stood up, leaving Cody where I put him, and tugged him over.

“Climb on top of him. Keep yourselves spread while I prep you.”

Isaac nodded, his eyes glazed with passion and lust as he reached down to pull Cody’s ass closer to the edge of the bed.

I watched as Isaac lifted Cody’s legs up and wrapped them around his hips. Cody hooked his ankles together to keep his body opened up as Isaac lay over him and spread his own legs, positioning his knees on either side of Cody’s hips.

Seeing them like that was almost enough to send me over the edge. I couldn’t see them kiss, but I could hear the soft, wet sounds punctuated by soft moans and gentle sighs. The jocks framed their pert little asses in a way that was almost too hot, but it was how they did exactly what I asked, not questioning or even pausing, that really moved me.

They trusted me, and in that moment I swore I would never betray that trust. It didn’t matter how long I stayed in the picture, I was going to make sure they never felt pushed or used again.

I grabbed the bottle of lube I’d put on my dresser and moved to stand behind them. From this angle I could see both the passionate kisses they were exchanging and their asses. It really was the best of both worlds.

I squeezed a dollop of lube onto my fingers, rubbing them together to warm it up a bit, before lowering my hand so I could spread some of the lube over Isaac’s hole. He whimpered against Cody’s kiss as I gently rubbed my fingers over his wrinkled skin before moving my hand down to give Cody the same treatment.

When I was satisfied they were ready for more I poured a generous amount of lube on my fingers and rubbed my hands together to warm it up. Using my right hand on Isaac and my left on Cody, I traced gentle circles over their holes, teasing them before I slowly pushed my fingers into their bodies.

They were both tight, their hot channels gripping my fingers as I pushed in. I could hear they were still kissing, but the flow was broken by gasps and moans.

Making sure to move in unison I pulled my fingers almost all the way out of their bodies, and then surged back in.

Both men cried out and Isaac tore his lips from Cody’s, his back arching as his body trembled.

I’d planned on a quick prep and then getting right to the fucking, but now that I had both men at my mercy I wanted to drag it out.

I continued to finger fuck them, slowly and gently, ignoring their cries for more.

It wasn’t until both were shamelessly begging me, their bodies arching and bucking as they slowly came undone that I decided they’d had enough. I slipped a second finger inside them, scissoring gently as I slid them in and out. I purposely missed their prostates because I wasn’t sure they’d last with the extra stimulation.

“More. Please, Jonah. More!” Isaac begged, his forehead resting against Cody’s as they rutted together.

“Not yet.” I grabbed Isaac’s hips with both hands, pulling my fingers free from their bodies in the process, and held him still. “Are you ready?”

“Yes!” they both cried out, and I chuckled as I let go of Isaac and moved to the dresser to grab two condoms.

I tossed the condoms on the comforter and guided Isaac so he was standing next to the bed with his legs slightly spread. Together we pulled Cody so his ass was right at the edge of the mattress. As Isaac hooked Cody’s legs over his arms I ripped open one of the condoms and pulled his jock aside as I quickly rolled it down Isaac’s rock hard cock. Gripping him by the base I guided his cock head to Cody’s entrance, and as Isaac leaned forward, folding Cody’s body back in on itself to open him up, I pushed Isaac’s hips forward.

Both men groaned in pleasure as Isaac slid all the way inside Cody’s body so he was fully seated on the first pass.

“Hold him open for me,” I instructed Cody as I grabbed the second condom and suited up.

Cody’s hands gripped the globes of Isaac’s ass, splitting him open so I could see his hole, quivering and ready for me. I really wanted to lean down and lick him, but I hated the taste of lube so that would have to wait until another time.

I stepped behind Isaac and gently nudged his entrance with my cock, letting him know what I was planning.

“Yes, fuck yes,” he moaned as I pushed inside him, his muscles gripping me as his body adjusted around my girth.

This was it.

This was the moment all three of us became completely connected, when we moved from being a threesome to a trio.

I could tell Isaac was close to losing it so I took over. I held his hips and surged inside him, finding a fast and hard rhythm that forced him forward with every thrust. His dick might have been inside Cody, but we were both fucking him.

“Fuck, Jonah. Cody!” Isaac cried out.

“That’s it, baby. Take it. Feel it,” I whispered against his neck, trailing my lips over his sweaty skin.

“I’m not going to last!” he panted. “It’s too fucking good.”

I removed one of my hands from Isaac’s hip and reached around his body so I could grip Cody’s shaft. His jock had been pushed aside as they’d rutted together and he was slick with pre-cum.

“Fuck yourself with my cock, baby,” I said to Isaac as I dragged my hand up and down Cody’s length. “Fuck him and fuck me. Make yourself come for us.”

“Fuck!”

I held my body still, only moving my hand to keep pleasuring Cody as Isaac began to snap his hips, driving his dick deep inside Cody and then impaling himself on mine every time he drew back.

“Fuck. Oh fuck!”

Isaac let out a keening cry. The sound was so pure and primal I had to grit my teeth as my own orgasm threatened to explode.

“Fuck!”

Cody was the first to come, his release spilling over my hand and splashing on his chest.

Isaac followed a moment later, almost collapsing as his body shuddered and he cried out in the quiet room.

As soon as his ass clamped down around my cock I was done. My orgasm hit hard and fast and my hips moved of their own accord, rolling in a frenzied pace as I fucked Isaac through the waves of pleasure and the aftershocks that followed.

“Holy shit,” Isaac rasped, his arms and legs shaking as he held himself over Cody. I knew my added weight wasn’t helping so I planted my feet and shifted back so Isaac could collapse on Cody, releasing Cody’s legs so he could hook them around Isaac’s hips.

“Oh my god.” Cody wrapped his arms around Isaac, holding him as they came down from the high of their releases.

I pulled out of Isaac and ripped off my condom, tying it off and tossing it aside before I carefully pulled Isaac’s softening cock out of Cody and removed his condom, giving it the same treatment.

As I watched my young lovers embracing and sharing deep and passionate kisses, their tight bodies slick with sweat and glistening beautifully in the light, I knew for sure that they were meant to be.

I didn’t doubt their feelings for me, I just knew that what they felt for each other was stronger than anything we could ever build as a group of three.

I was the one who would be left behind. Again.

I picked up the used condoms and headed into the bathroom to dispose of them. When they were taken care of I washed my hands then stripped off my jock and wet a cloth so I could clean us up. For the first time in our short relationship, I felt like an interloper and needed to give them some space.

When I came back into the bedroom they seemed to have recovered and welcomed me with smiles, pulling me down on the bed with them so we could cuddle. I cleaned Cody and Isaac up, helped them strip naked and lay with them, holding them tight as I tried to live in the moment. Right now I wanted to be happy. I’d deal with the heartbreak later.

After a few minutes of cuddling Cody remembered his chocolate covered pretzels and brought the bag into bed with us. We devoured the snack, making cracks about the mixing of flavors and laughing as Isaac pulled out every ‘dad joke’ he’d ever heard to try and distract us so he could eat more of the pretzels. It had been fun and silly and perfect, and when we’d finished eating we’d resumed cuddling and talking.

Eventually we’d had to get up and take a shower, and it was the first time nothing sexual happened while we washed up. Cody and Isaac had been in silly moods and tried to start a bubble fight with my body wash. When I’d clucked my tongue at them teasingly they’d ganged up on me and I’d ended up covered in a second layer of body wash bubbles. It had been foolish and fun and exactly what I needed to break my mood.

It hadn’t been late when we finished showering, but Isaac had been up early and my week had been long so we crawled into bed, getting into the familiar position of having Cody in the middle as Isaac spooned him while his head rested on my chest with his arm over my stomach. We’d shared a few sweet kisses and wished each other goodnight. Isaac had fallen asleep right away and Cody had followed only minutes later.

It took me a lot longer to fall asleep, even though I was dead tired.

I was worried about how much longer Cody and Isaac would want me around, and I was still uneasy about the break-in at Galen’s office. Someone wanted those files for a reason, but as of right now we had no idea what that was.

Eventually I dozed off, but my sleep was fitful and my dreams were less than awesome.

* * * * *

The weekend together was amazing. There was no other way to describe it.

Isaac had gotten up early on Saturday and started breakfast. The smell of bacon and coffee had woken both Cody and I, and we’d gone down to help him finish up. The meal had been wonderful and the company even better, and after cleaning up we’d gone to the living room. We hadn’t really done anything in particular, just sat around and talked, our bodies cuddled up together.

We’d fixed ourselves something to eat for lunch, and I’d suggested we go out for dinner. There was a small Thai place within walking distance of my house that I loved, and I wanted to share it with them. There hadn’t been enough seating for three, only two, so we’d ordered our food to go and brought it back to the house.

Cody wasn’t a fan of spicy food so we’d gotten the mildest dishes on the menu, except for the spicy vegetables and beef, which was my favorite. Isaac had been able to handle a few bites, but even the smell had been too much for Cody.

We’d eaten at the table, sharing the food and laughing at our varying abilities with chopsticks and handling spice, and when the leftovers were in the fridge I grabbed us all a beer and we headed into the living room to watch another movie.

This time Isaac and Cody had cuddled up together, their bodies fitting like puzzle pieces as Cody had leaned against me.

I loved seeing them together, and my dick had hardened when I saw them exchanging lazy kisses at various points in the movie. Cody had made sure to keep one of his hands on me at all times as they kissed so I knew they hadn’t forgotten me, but it reminded me that I was the odd man out.

That night I’d taken both Cody and Isaac.

We’d started with Cody on his hands and knees between us as he feasted on Isaac’s cock while I fucked him into the mattress. When he’d come all over my comforter he’d switched with Isaac, giving me a turn at his ass while he’d laved at Isaac’s spent dick.

I’d come before Isaac since I wouldn’t let him touch his cock, and then Cody and I had finger fucked Isaac together, giving him a prostate massage as we did, and he’d come so hard he’d almost blacked out.

I’d cleaned my men up with warm washcloths and stripped the comforter off the bed. It was hot enough in my room that the sheet would be enough, so I hadn’t bothered getting the spare one out of the linen closet. Then we’d snuggled up under the covers.

Isaac had fallen asleep almost immediately as he lay between us, his body cuddled up against mine as Cody spooned him, and Cody and I had a chance to talk.

He’d told me a few things about his life after leaving Open Arms, including how he’d lived with his day manager, Layla, for over a year and had only gotten his own place a few months ago. He’d asked about my family, and he’d told me about his nightmares.

I felt a lot closer to him at the end of the conversation than I had only hours ago, and I was glad for the extra one-on-one time with him, even with Isaac gently snoring between us.

We’d spent Sunday naked and in bed, only venturing out for food, coffee and to clean up.

Isaac had wanted Cody to top him, and while Cody had been nervous, it had been incredible to be a part of that moment. Cody had wanted me right there with him, prepping Isaac while he watched, and helping and guiding him with my voice and body when it was time for him to take over. I’d encouraged both of them, telling them how perfect they were and how much I loved seeing them together as I’d held Cody’s hips, pacing him as he’d slipped inside Isaac for the first time.

When Cody had found his rhythm I’d jacked Isaac off, keeping my drags in time with Cody’s thrusts so they came at nearly the same time.

Considering how big of a moment it was for them, especially for Cody since it was his first time topping, I’d laid down with them and gotten myself off as they kissed me and ran their hands over my body.

It had been a perfect weekend, and when it was time for them to leave so we could sleep in our own beds before starting our work week again, I hadn’t wanted to say goodbye.

Living with them, spending the entire weekend had been easy and natural, and as I’d watched them head out to Isaac’s car, their bags at their sides and holding hands, I’d felt my chest tighten.

I was completely in love with both of them. There was no way I could avoid getting my heart broken now.
