Oh.

I’d forgotten about that part of the plan.

The cuffs came up from under the bed, or maybe under the mattress, and were soft as they wrapped around my wrists. If I was supposed to say something, nothing reasonable came to mind, so I was glad when they didn’t need my input for much.

The closest I came to having to think and produce words was when Gareth leaned over the bed and kissed me softly. “What are your safewords?”

That somehow made it all more real, and while my brain slowed thinking down to a bare minimum, my dick waved around like a drunken sailor.

“Green, yellow, and red.” I felt proud of myself for getting the words out, and once I started the rest came easier. “Red stops everything and I’m green.”

I was feeling a thousand emotions, and probably radiating a confusing number of them, but I was technically green.

“Good boy.” It was Bates’s turn to lean over and kiss me, but his was slow and hot, and when his tongue stroked against mine, I couldn’t help moaning and trying to lift my hands to wrap them around his neck. But I couldn’t. That first real reminder of how trapped I was shot right through me and sent a jolt of desire that killed most higher brain functions.

It seemed to be obvious based on how pleased Bates looked as he pulled away, lightly trailing his fingers down my face. “Yes, you’re going to be a very good boy for us, but I think I know what would make it even better.”

I knew what he was going to stay but it still made me blush.

“Would you like your blindfold?” Bates’s smile flashed from wicked to tender as Gareth made an excited sound. “I think Gareth knows what you want.”

I managed a nod.

It wasn’t much but they were both so proud of me it made me blush, which made Gareth even more excited and had him kissing me again. “You’re so cute when you get nervous and you’re even cuter when you get growly. You’re just the cutest boyfriend ever.”

He’d lost his mind.

“I’m so glad you wanted to be my boyfriend too.” He gave me a quick, innocent peck before straightening, looking like he had some kind of purpose in mind. But it took me a second to realize that was because Bates was back with the blindfold.

As darkness enveloped me, it made everything so much easier. Part of me wanted to poke at the reason why but a bigger part of me didn’t care. There was nothing I could do and nothing I could see. Everything was up to Bates and Gareth.

Thinking about Gareth had his last words coming back to me, and they kept rolling around in my head. I probably wouldn’t have poked at them another time, but everything was different in the dark. “I…thought about being your boyfriend before.”

Hands caressed over me, but they didn’t push me to keep going, which somehow made it even easier to keep rambling. “That just didn’t seem to be how you saw me, so I pushed it away.”

Gareth made a soft thinking sound and kissed the top of my head. “I didn’t know there was more than one kind of boyfriend. You were always more than that to me, so I thought it would be…I thought it would be like downgrading our relationship.”

He’d thought we were already so much more that being boyfriends would be an insult.

As everything snapped into place in my head, confusing memories finally making sense, Gareth gave me another kiss as something soft and feathery trailed over my chest. “I think we were waiting for Bates too. We all fit together better than we would if we were just in pairs. I can’t imagine just having him without you with us.”

It felt like I was sinking into the mattress but I managed a nod I hoped they could both see. “We…we needed a push…confidence, maybe?”

I wasn’t explaining it right, but the cuffs had zapped my brain.

Gareth didn’t mind doing the talking for us, though. “Yeah, he gives you the confidence to let your Dom side come out and he’s great at answering my questions.”

I could hear movement and then the sounds of a kiss, with both of them making soft moaning sounds before Gareth chuckled. “And let’s face it, I don’t have enough dominance in me to have figured out how to make you submit or relax this much.”

Since the laughter in his voice said he didn’t have an issue with that, I didn’t bother lying about it and neither did Bates. “But you knew what he needed and you made sure your special man got it.”

“You.” Gareth’s smile came through in his voice and I knew it would be just as sweet and innocent as I was imagining. “We both needed you.”
