  “You can watch anytime you want,” Julie said with a smile. “I won’t deny that was hot.”

  “Agreed,” David said, sounding slightly sleepy. “I never considered it but now I understand some of those clubs.”

  “I,” Ron started. “I have to go shower,” he finally said before almost running out of the room. He had still been standing there, his dick hanging out of his pants and he had suddenly realized what had happened. He had never come so hard, and yet it was so completely wrong. What if this ruined his relationship with them just after they had become friends?

  He didn’t bother with a shower, knowing he’d likely get sticky again dreaming about what he had just seen, and instead took off his clothes and slid under his covers. He couldn’t get to sleep though, and not wanting to go downstairs where he could walk into David or Julie he just laid there staring at the ceiling.

  Chapter Three

  “Ron?” David’s voice came as the door softly opened. “Are you alright?”

  “Yes, just tired.”

  “Is that why you are in bed or are you avoiding us?”

  “I don’t know,” Ron said honestly.

  David sat down on the bed beside him and looked at him in concern. “Talk to me.”

  “I’m confused, just need some time to sort out my thoughts.”

  “You were turned on. We were turned on. We are consenting adults. There is nothing wrong with what we did, you know that right?”

  “I’m trying to convince myself of that.”

  “Ron, you were hard before you even came in.”

  “I know David, I know. And I came in there voluntarily and you had invited me. I am aware of all of that. Heck, I get hard just thinking about it again.”

  David’s hand reached over to touch Ron over the blankets, which weren’t very thick, at which point Ron shivered slightly. “David,” he half moaned.

  “If you want me to stop I will, otherwise, don’t.”

  David’s hand slid under the covers and Ron knew he wouldn’t stop him. This was even more wrong than watching them. What kind of love triangle had he ended up in? Once again thinking about Julie as she was riding David while looking at him, her breasts bouncing up and down, he let David palm him to completion. At one point Ron had moved the covers down and as he exploded into David’s hand it dripped onto his stomach as David grabbed some tissues from the nightstand and wiped his hand before wiping Ron’s stomach. “What two consenting adults do is never wrong. I just ask you never do anything with Julie when I’m not in the room. My instinct would be to beat you up and I don’t want that. Give me some time on that front, and I will let you two have some fun with me watching, alright?”

  “I can do that. Damn you’re good at that,” Ron groaned.

  David just smirked at him as he stood up. “Glad you think so. Now are you going to come down and watch a movie with us or are you going to hide up here and wallow in thoughts?”

  “I suppose I’ll come down. It’s not like I can sleep anyway. My legs feel like Jell-O.”

  David just continued smirking as he handed Ron a pair of boxers and started towards the door. “Don’t fall down the stairs. I’ll get the popcorn started.”

  Ron groaned as he flopped back onto his pillow, knowing he was lost. If this was how living here was going to be he would never leave. He could respect that David’s dragon form would protest Ron moving into his territory, but the fact that they clearly were going to have more encounters like this was enough for him for the moment. It apparently really had been a good thing that he had come to Alaine to start his life again. He quickly put on boxers and pajama pants, not caring about a shirt, and made his way down the stairs where David and Julie were already on the couch. As he made to sit in an armchair David pointed to the other side of him again. “Better view from over here, trust me.”

  Ron had a feeling David liked being in the middle, but he wasn’t going to complain and joined them on the couch instead. They were watching a movie Ron had never heard of before, and he wasn’t entirely sure he knew what the title was, but at the same time he didn’t care. He enjoyed the time spent with friends, the popcorn bowl that they kept fighting over, and Julie’s constant fussing to make sure he was warm enough and had a drink. In the end Ron fell asleep on the couch and he had no idea how, but he woke up in his bed the following morning. The thought that David had carried him to bed left him feeling confused again but he knew he had to forget about it and get ready for work if he wanted to be on time.

  He smiled at Julie as she handed him a sandwich and mug of coffee before shooing him out the door. “Go, you’re going to be late.”

  Saluting her with his sandwich he walked out the door, glad that it was a large travel mug as he enjoyed having coffee in the morning before doing anything else. He knew the day was going to be long and boring but as the snow started to come down he also knew he was glad to have a job that was inside.

  At the house David walked into the kitchen right after Ron had walked out, sitting down to the breakfast Julie had prepared for him. “You men need to start getting up in time.”

  “Ron is up isn’t he? I thought I heard him.”

  “He just walked out. I used your travel mug for him, I hope you don’t mind.”

  “It’s fine. He didn’t have breakfast?”

  “I gave him a sandwich. He’ll be fine and I’ll bring him lunch around noon since he didn’t take anything. Are you going into work today?”

  “I need to check the project over on Dover Street before signing off on it and then I have a few requests for estimates. I’ll take lunch with me to eat while driving.”

  “What do you think he is thinking?”

  “I think he is confused,” David said easily. “I do think this is exactly what was missing for us though. I mean, that was the best sex we’ve had in a while and neither of us can deny that.”

  “True. Watching him bring himself off while watching us was hot. I kind of wanted to touch him though.”

  “I know. I asked him, and I will ask you the same, not to do anything without me in the room. I don’t want to act on instinct.”

  “Don’t worry, we won’t. I never thought we’d get involved in some weird love triangle but I don’t mind it so much.”

  “I don’t either. I have to get going. I’ll pick up another travel mug on my way home, let me know if we need anything else,” David said as he got up and accepted the lunch Julie handed him. With a quick kiss he left the house, knowing it would be a long day and knowing he was just looking forward to the time he could go home again. One of his estimators was a seasonal employee who left for the mountains to work the ski resorts in the winter, so he always did the estimates himself in the winter. Sometimes there were so many he was swamped with work, like today, but he knew he had to do them if he wanted work.

  It was just before dinner that both Ron and David came home, both of them sinking down in their chairs at the table with matching sighs. “I swear I’m going to fall asleep at that job,” Ron complained. “I know it pays well but after about two hours I started counting down the minutes.”

  David wanted to smile but he was just too tired. “Do you want to come work for me? I need an estimator and if I had someone with me who could write down everything as we talk with the customer and then write down everything I say it would go twice as fast. My usual guy has just left for the mountains and won’t be back until March. With business picking up I’ve needed both of us for the past few months and if that continues I’ll need to hire another full time estimator.”

  “Are you sure?” Ron asked.

  “Definitely. I can’t do another day like today and I have just as many estimates scheduled for many days. Once I’ve gotten everything I need, I need to type up the actual estimate, look up material costs and so forth and that takes time too. I could really use the help.”

  “I would love that,” Ron said quickly. “Thank you. I need to get out of the gloomy records room.”

&
nbsp; “That’s settled then. I’ll call the hospital and just tell them I need help and you are perfect for the job. That way if you ever need a job there, they won’t blame this on you. You start tomorrow. This looks amazing Julie.”

  “Thank you. It’s experimental, let me know what you think. It’s for the Carter wedding.”

  “It’s the benefit of living here,” David said as he picked up his fork. “We get to try out all her new recipes and we get to be honest about what we think.”

  “What if it’s perfect?”

  “Then we tell her it’s perfect,” David said easily as he took a bite of his food, moaning in pleasure, “and this is perfect.”

  Ron started eating as well and he nodded in agreement. “It really is. They’d be crazy not to want this at their wedding.”

  “Thanks guys. It would be served on a buffet. Do you think it would be fine that way?”

  “Why wouldn’t it be?” Ron asked, confused.

  “Certain things don’t do as well when it has to stay warm for a while or when people serve it themselves,” Julie said easily.

  “I think this would be fine. I’m assuming there are some juices in the pan?” David asked.

  “Yes. They would serve themselves with a serving spoon that has holes.”

  “Then it will be fine. It won’t dry out that way and will stay good quite well. Are they testing it at some point?”

  “Yes, next week I’m giving them three option and they’ll tell me what they want. Two others I had created for another wedding but they went with something else, so this one plus those two will be my choices. That means you will have to get Chinese or something next Wednesday as I won’t be here.”

  “I think we’ll survive,” Ron grinned. “I actually love Chinese.”

  “We have an excellent Chinese takeout in town,” David said. “We’ll pick something up on our way home. Is there dessert?”

  “There should still be some apple pie if you want some?” Julie replied as she stood up.

  “Yes please.”

  “Not for me Julie,” Ron replied with a smile. “I’m going for a run, I’ll be back.”

  “You have two hours before we come looking for you,” David replied easily. “It’s getting dark out and it’s snowing.”

  “I’ll be fine.”

  “Two hours. There might be a reward if you obey, or punishment if you don’t.”

  Ron glanced at David to see how serious he was, and looking at him he wasn’t sure if he wanted the reward or the punishment. He had a feeling he would end up liking both. He ran out of the house, knowing he needed to clear his mind and also to hunt, and after an hour he stopped, panting hard. He wasn’t entirely sure where he was but turned back the way he came and started walking. He had caught a bunny again, and it was enough for the moment.

  By the time he found his way back he had been gone almost three hours and the glare David gave him sent shivers down his spine. “Go to your room,” David said sternly. The snow was coming down hard now and Ron was covered in it, and it had made it harder for him to find his way back. He wanted to protest but Julie was slightly shaking her head behind David to stop him, which he did. He started towards the stairs, yelping as David smacked his butt upon passing. He was aching and hard and had no idea what he was supposed to do in his room. Thankfully he didn’t have to wait very long.

  “Undress,” came the quick order from David, while Julie stood next to him watching with hungry eyes.

  Once he was fully naked in front of them he was told to lie down on the bed, on his back. Julie crawled onto the bed next to him and started stroking him with soft, gentle hands, which were more teasing than anything else yet still served to bring him closer and closer.

  Just before he fell over the edge, she stopped and looked at David. “Let’s go watch a movie. No, stay naked and no you may not come.”

  “You have to be kidding me!” Ron exclaimed. He wanted to come badly but as he reached his hand down to ensure that, David caught it easily.

  “Punishment. Come on, there’s a good movie on TV.”

  Ron glared at David, but he wanted to see what would happen if he obeyed so he followed them down to the living room, still completely naked and his erection pointing firmly ahead of him. This time he was in the middle on the couch, and every five minutes or so one of them would touch him just enough for him to remain hard but not enough to finish. It was starting to hurt and deciding that Ron had been punished enough, David nodded at Julie who suddenly lowered her head and closed her mouth around Ron. The second she did he exploded in her mouth, and she swallowed every last drop.

  “Can’t have it going all over the couch now can we?” David said as if it was the most normal thing in the world for his girlfriend to suck off another guy.

  “That was incredible,” Ron panted. “I’m fairly certain I’ve never come harder. I’ve never tried denial either, that was hard.”

  “It was intended to be. Next time, be on time and we’ll let you come,” David replied with a smile as he threw a blanket at Ron. “Just in case you are cold.”

  Before the movie was over Julie was straddling David, as they clearly had gotten turned on by what they had done to Ron, and Ron was already contemplating whether to obey or disobey next time as the wait to release had been worth it in the end. Ron left the room after a quick goodnight, and when he got to his room he fell asleep fairly quickly. Downstairs David was now fully inside Julie and she was moving at a fast pace.

  “Come for me Julie,” David whispered in her ear before kissing her passionately right as she exploded around him. She continued moving as she did and David soon followed, filling her deep inside. Even when she stopped moving she remained where she was and he didn’t make a move to slide out of her. She simply let her head rest on his shoulder as he had his arms around her back to hold her close. They both enjoyed being in the company of the other and when they started to fall asleep they moved to the bedroom where they continued cuddling. They knew that while they might both have feelings for Ron as well, what they had would always remain special no matter what happened. They also knew Ron knew this and he would never step across that boundary.

  Chapter Four

  Ron loved helping David in his business, and when the winter was coming to a close David told him he wanted him to stay so he didn’t have to hire another estimator. He wanted to continue slowly training Ron in the business so he could eventually go out on his own, but for now they would go to jobs together so Ron could learn everything he needed to know. Julie continued working part time from home, and she loved taking care of her two men outside of that.

  At some point over the past few months Ron had moved into their bedroom with them and often Julie was in the middle while they slept. David was most definitely in control of the household, but both Julie and Ron enjoyed that. It was hard for Ron to occasionally let go of some controls, and he still struggled with obeying from time to time but David was quick to punish him for his disobedience. They all knew Ron enjoyed the punishments as much as everyone else, which was the purpose after all. He had become more outgoing and outspoken, and he had really integrated into life in Minnesota. They had introduced Ron to skiing and hiking, and on two occasions Ron had gone with them when they had transformed. He had been fascinated by it and looked forward to it each time.

  David sometimes went with Ron when he went hunting, mostly because Ron hadn’t known the area as well and had wanted to go further from town to catch something bigger. Ron had started using the gym in the basement, much to David’s amusement as the equipment had never been used before, and was bulking up quite a bit which made him stronger. Not that he needed the strength when hunting because he was fully acting on instinct then, but it helped him in everyday life especially when David saw fit to wrestle him. Whenever David thought Ron needed cheering up he would start tickling him, which always turned into wrestling fairly quickly and would leave both of them exhausted at the end while Julie mumbled about some
men never growing up.

  None of them really had very many true friends, which meant that nobody knew how close they were. Out in public none of them acted as if they were in a relationship with anyone, and they were all fine with that. They didn’t mind that they had to hide, but they also knew there were other groups out there just like them. Julie had found a group online who communicated about their experiences in the lifestyle they enjoyed, and they knew that at some point they would probably meet some of them in person but for now they enjoyed the privacy the anonymity provided.

  A month prior Ron’s father had reached out to him. His mother was very ill and wanted him to come home. Ron had not wanted to, and when David had tried to talk to him about it he had thrown a raging fit. Instead of yelling back David had pulled him into a hug and simply held him as he cried about the injustice of his father calling now when he hadn’t for years. He wanted to see his mother without seeing the rest of his family, but he knew if he went he’d have to go alone because they would never accept David or Julie. They barely accepted him, since he was only half-vampire, and even then it was only because of his father. He had finally gotten over the rejection he had felt from them and didn’t want to go back to that, but he also knew if he didn’t go he would regret it the rest of his life. In the end David had gone with him, and while they had glared at the two of them, Ron had been happy to see his mother one more time. When his father had started in on him for the way he had left, David had stood up for him, which had surprised Ron’s parents (with his mother smiling) and made Ron love David even more. That night David had let him get stupid drunk, and the following morning he had moved on. The last thing connecting him to that family had been his mother, and he had said his goodbyes. He started focusing on his life in Alaine more and both David and Julie noticed that he somehow seemed happier and lighter, like a weight had been lifted.
