Blake had to give Evan credit for giving her his full attention and acting like he was just as interested as she was. He knew that his husband didn’t have a clue what Heather was talking about, and a love of literature was one thing they did not share, but no one watching right then would have been any wiser to that fact. Evan was giving her his undivided attention and the smile on his face told Blake that’s Heather’s happiness was enough to make his day no matter where they were or what they were doing. Blake took them in, reveling in how blessed he was to have found the two people who made his heart complete. Seeing them together, and knowing that they loved each other too was better than anything he had ever imagined possible.
Heather looked around, taking a break from the work she was praising for Evan to look at Blake. “You’ve got to see this!” She was still smiling ear to ear—something she’d been doing since they got to the Biltmore that morning. “You don’t want Evan and me to have all of the fun alone, do you?”
“Definitely not,” he told her as he closed in on her and Evan. He let his words linger, allowing the little innuendo he’d intended to linger in the air between the three of them. Evan winked at him and Heather’s cheeks grew a little pink.
“As much as it would be a dream to have that kind of fun with you both in here,” Evan said, “I think that we would get kicked out for good, and it would be a shame if we were never allowed to come back and visit such a beautiful place.”
“Oh, I don’t know,” Heather chimed in. Blake liked the mischievous grin that she was sporting at the moment. “I think we’ve already seen everything worth seeing. It would probably be worth it.”
She stepped up to Evan and ran her hand down his chest, then she leaned in and gave him a soft but lingering kiss. A soft groan escaped Evan’s lips when she kissed him. Blake kept his eyes on them and none of them noticed the parents entering with their four children until they heard the children’s laughter. Heather and Evan pulled apart and Blake turned at the same time to find the children snickering and pointing at Heather and Evan while the parents tried to get them to stop staring. Blake turned back to the two of them. “I think it’s time we get out of here.”
“Agreed,” they both said in together.
Evan reached for Heather’s hand and then for Blake’s, and they walked out together, the four children still pointing and laughing until they were out of sight.

When they pulled out of the parking lot the three of them agreed they could go for something to eat. Evan suggested they grab take out and take it back to their room. Blake knew he was still kicking himself for Heather nearly passing out the night before, no matter how many times Heather and Blake had told him it wasn’t his fault. Evan had been by her side all day and Blake had seen worry in his eyes occasionally, and he knew Evan thought Heather was pushing her limits. Blake had learned that lesson years ago, and now it was Evan’s turn. Heather likely knew Evan’s goal was to get her to the room to rest, and Blake had to admit he was a bit shocked that she went along with it and didn’t insist they go out to dinner instead.
When they got back to their room, the three of them sat and ate in comfortable silence for a while. Heather was the one to break the silence when she finished her fried rice and sat her fork down. She looked right at Blake when she first started to speak. “I never thought that I would find the kind of love we shared as teenagers for a second time.” Blake and Evan both put their forks down and reached for Heather but she shook her head so they dropped their hands. “I want to say this, and if you touch me I don’t think I’ll get it out.” Blake and Evan nodded their understanding, but Blake reached over and linked his fingers with Evan’s. He didn’t know what Heather was about to say, but he needed to feel the warmth of his husband while they listened and waited to find out.
Heather briefly closed her eyes and took a deep breath before she went on. “Once I accepted that I was not going to hear from you again, I knew that I had already experienced the best love of my life and any future relationships were bound to pale in comparison. Whether it was self-fulfillment, or just what was meant to be, for the next seventeen years that statement was proved true with every man who showed interest. My heart had already been taken and I didn’t have anything to offer them. I’m not saying none of them were good guys, I just couldn’t picture myself with any of them when my heart had left me at seventeen.”
Blake’s heart was breaking. Because of him she had been alone for such a long time. Even if it had been his parents who tore them apart, he’d still broken her heart in the worst way. He fought to keep his tears at bay, not wanting Heather to feel bad for sharing this with him and Evan. He wanted them to be open with each other. They would have to be if their relationship had any chance of lasting for the long haul. Communication was vital in any relationship, add a third person to that equation and it became critical.
“When I woke up in the hospital my mind woke up a while before I found the strength to move or even open my eyes. I could hear a man’s voice, one I didn’t know at the time, but I immediately found it to be beautiful and soothing.” Heather met Evan’s eyes. “Even before I saw you, Evan, I felt your voice reach inside of here,” she put a hand to her chest, covering her heart, “and for the first time since high school my heart began to truly beat again. You were reading from my favorite book, and when the doctor came in, I could hear true caring in your voice. It was an overwhelming desire to see the face of the first man to have any effect on me since I was a teen that gave me the strength needed to open my eyes.”
Heather smiled brightly at Evan. “You turned out to be a million times more handsome than my half-conscience mind had imagined. When I found out that you were Blake’s husband, and you knew he still loved me, I worried my heart had played tricks on me and I was about to be broken all over again. I knew I was still in love with Blake.” She looked at Blake. “My love for you never went away, and when I saw you that first day in the office, it crashed into me like a tidal wave. Evan, when you kissed me in your guest room and told me you felt connected to me I felt true hope in my heart for the first time in as long as I can remember. When you both told me you loved me this morning, it was like waking up in a fairytale where I get to be Cinderella only I’m luckier than Cinderella in the end because I get two Prince Charmings who not only love me but each other.” She winked at them, trying to lighten the mood. “And I’ve got to admit seeing you two love each other is incredibly hot.”
Blake and Evan both wiped their eyes, wiping away the unshed tears that were threatening to spill over. Blake looked up at Heather. “I’m never going to be able to express how truly sorry I am for leaving the way I did.” Heather opened her mouth, but he held his hand up to stop her before she could excuse him again over his parents sending him away. “I know that my parents sent me away, but it doesn’t lessen the guilt I felt. The only thing that has helped ease that guilt in all of these years was hearing you say that you still loved me, and that you love Evan too because I need you both in my life and now that I know what it feels like to have you both I have no intentions of giving either of you up ever again. There is no one and nothing strong enough to pull me away from the two of you.”
Evan leaned in and gave Blake a kiss, then Heather did the same. Evan took Heather’s hand in his free one before he spoke. “I don’t have the history the two of you have, but I promise that my heart is in this just the same. I honestly thought that I could never love anyone as much as I love Blake, but it’s like there was a whole other section of my heart that was just waiting for me to meet you, Heather, and once I did it opened up and showed me what I didn’t even know I had been missing.”
Blake couldn’t take it anymore. Listening to Heather and Evan share their love for him and each other had his heart doing cartwheels in his chest he was so full of happiness. He was pretty sure if he didn’t make love with them right away he was going to combust. He wrapped his hand around the back of Evan’s neck and pulled them toge
ther, then he melded his lips to his husband’s. When he felt Evan’s tongue stroke his own, a loud groan rumbled up from his chest. Evan held him close with his fingers threaded through the back of Blake’s hair as they devoured each other.
Movement out of the corner of his eye caught Blake’s attention and he slowly pulled back from kissing Evan. Heather had stood up and removed her clothing. She was watching him and Evan with eyes that were sparkling with desire. She had her bottom lip between her teeth and she was rubbing her hands slowly up and down her body. When she brought them to her breasts and ran her thumbs over her nipples Blake heard Evan groan beside him. They both stood up and made to move to her, but Heather held her hands up for them to stop.
“Not yet,” she told them. “I want to watch you make love.”
Fuck. Blake loved that seeing him and Evan love each other turned her on so much, and he couldn’t deny that he was aching to make love to both of them right then. When he turned back to Evan, his husband was already undressing so Blake followed his lead and made quick work of removing his clothing as well. Heather crawled up the bed and rested against the headboard. She brought her knees up slightly and left her legs spread as she watched them.
Evan laid down on the mattress below Heather’s legs and met Blake’s eyes with his own as Blake ran his hands up Evan’s thighs. When his hands reached the apex of Evan’s thighs he wrapped his hand around his husband’s thick shaft and stroked him slowly, rotating his wrist when he brought his hand up to the tip of Evan’s dick then ran his thumb over the head. Evan cussed and thrust his hips upwards and into Blake’s hand. Blake continued stroking Evan’s throbbing length as he looked up to see Heather. She was watching his hand on Evan’s shaft. She had one hand cupping her breast and teasing her nipple, and her other hand was between her legs as she teased her clit, rubbing her fingers in slow circles. Blake had to grab his own dick and apply pressure to keep from cumming right then. Seeing her touch herself, knowing that it was him and Evan that had her so wet was the hottest thing he’d ever witnessed.
Blake bent down and took Evan’s mouth, kissing him vigorously for a moment before pulling back and releasing his grip on Evan’s erection. He lubed up his fingers and slowly pushed first one, then a second inside Evan’s hot body. When Evan began to squirm, trying to create more friction moving back and forth in Blake’s hand, Blake bent and took Evan’s length in his mouth. He took Evan to the back of his mouth and swallowed around his head. Evan jerked in his mouth and cried out his name. “Blake! Fuck!”
Blake pulled off of Evan’s length and removed his fingers, then he lubed his dick up, preparing to make love to Evan’s ass. He moved between Evan’s legs and wrapped his hands behind Evan’s knees. Blake pressed his head to Evan’s opening, but he looked up for Heather before he pushed forward. “Move up over Evan’s face. I want to watch him pleasure you while I make love to him.”
Heather got up on her knees and crawled over Evan’s face before lowering her body down over his mouth. Blake watched as Evan’s tongue darted out and slowly licked a trail from her sex to her clit. When Evan flicked Heather’s clit with his tongue she threw her head back and bucked against his mouth. Blake pushed inside Evan and stilled. He was so turned on watching Evan and Heather go crazy he had to take a second to calm his raging hormones or he’d be gone over the edge far sooner than he’d planned.
When Evan began squirming beneath him, Blake gripped his legs and began to move. He kept his eyes on Evan’s mouth, on his tongue teasing Heather’s clit and eliciting gasps and cries of pleasure from her. She was rocking her hips, trying to create more friction, but Evan was prolonging her pleasure with light strokes of his tongue as he ground his hips in time with Blake’s thrusts. When Blake felt his balls tightening with his release, he pulled out of Evan and gripped himself in his hand. He needed to make love to Heather before he would be ready for release, and he needed to feel Evan deep inside of him when he did so.
“Evan, come here.” He held his hand out to Evan. Evan slowly pulled away from Heather who looked a bit frustrated for a moment. Blake gave Evan a quick, heated kiss, then he turned and got on his knees on the bed. “Heather, I want you to come here and get on your hands and knees for me.”
Heather didn’t waste any time complying, and as soon as she got into position Blake slowly pushed into her slick, hot sex. He didn’t stop until he was fully sheathed by her warmth and his balls were pressed against her. Heather was moaning and wiggling her butt, trying to get him to move. He gripped her hips to stop her. “Baby, hold on just a minute.”
He bent down to kiss her and when he did he felt Evan’s dick pressing against him from behind. He pulled up from the kiss with Heather and followed her gaze, turning his head to look behind him. He kept his eyes locked with Evan’s as he slowly pushed inside. Blake closed his eyes and reveled in the feeling of being possessed by his husband. When Evan filled him completely, Blake opened his eyes and met Evan’s once more. “Move, now.”
Evan didn’t need to be told more than once. He gripped Blake’s hips and began moving, slowly at first, while Blake did the same with Heather. As soon as Blake moved inside of her Heather gasped and let her head drop, then she began moving against him. “Ah! Blake. Harder.”
Hearing Heather cry out for him nearly made him lose his mind with lust. He moved his hands to her ass and thrust hard and deep. “Fuck. You feel amazing,” he managed to get out between thrusts.
Evan followed Blake’s lead and picked up his pace, thrusting into Blake hard and fast. Blake loved being between the two people he loved most in the world. Making love with them was beyond anything he had ever dreamed it could be. He felt Evan’s grip tighten on his hips and his groans grew loader, signaling he was close. Blake moved his hands back around to Heather’s waist and moved his hips faster wanting them to reach their climax together. Evan was pressing against his most sensitive spot with every thrust and Blake groaned between clenched teeth, “Gah, Evan, right there. Yeah.” He ran his hand along Heather’s spine. “Heather, cum for me, baby.” She moaned when she heard his words and rocked her hips back into him. He felt the walls of her sex begin to tighten around him. “Yeah, that’s it. Now.”
Heather thrust her hips back one more time before she cried out and he felt her orgasm rush through her body, and her sex began to spasm around him, causing her to grip him even tighter and set off his own orgasm as pleasure shot through his spine. He felt Evan still behind him, then Evan’s dick swelled inside him as his release exploded inside of Blake. That was the last thing Blake needed to feel to send him spiraling over the edge, and his orgasm ripped through him as he rode his release out, moving slowly in and out of Heather. Blake milked his release until all three of them came down from the pleasure high they were riding and they collapsed on the bed together. It had officially been the best day.
He was pretty sure it didn’t get better than spending the day with the people he loved, and falling into bed with them making love until they were all sated and held each other while they drifted to sleep. Okay…he could think of one thing that would make it better. It would involve a ceremony, and he needed to discuss it with Evan before he popped the question, but he was pretty sure his husband was on the same page. He wanted Heather to be theirs officially, forever. Hopefully neither Evan or Heather would think it was too soon, because lying in bed with Evan, spooning him from behind, and Heather’s head on his chest he didn’t want to wait another minute. He’d already lost seventeen years with Heather and he didn’t want to waste another minute waiting to make her theirs.
CHAPTER FOURTEEN
Evan
Evan was worried as he sat in the room with Heather and waited for the doctor to come in. He didn’t feel like he had done a great job keeping Heather from overdoing things for the past two weeks. She was a force to be reckoned with and when she set her mind to something she wasn’t changing it no matter how hard he tried to persuade her. He might not have felt so bad for not stopping her fro
m working if he had been able to resist making love to her every day since the three of them went to the Biltmore, but it was like once they found out how great they were together the three of them couldn’t keep their hands to themselves. Evan and Blake had always had a more than healthy sex life, but now that their hearts were complete with Heather in their lives, they had made love at least once every day since the first time. Heather seemed to be feeling good and hadn’t complained of any headaches since the wine debacle the first night of their trip, but Evan wouldn’t feel reassured until the doctor said so. He had not been good at being the voice of reason.
“Would you calm down and take a breath.” Heather squeezed the hand he had laced with hers. “I am good. I feel great. If things weren’t healing properly I doubt I’d feel this good.”
Evan nodded. “I’m sure you’re right. Doesn’t make me any less nervous to hear what the doctor has to say.”
Heather gave him a small smile and a quick kiss. As she was pulling back, the door opened and Doctor Lowry walked in holding Heather’s scans in his hand. “Hey, how are we doing today?”
“Good,” Heather answered.
“As long as she’s good, I’m good,” Evan told the doctor.
Dr. Lowry didn’t even try to hide it when he looked at Evan and then down at Evan and Heather’s interlaced fingers. Evan had been a paramedic for a while, and he’d even hung out with the doctor from time to time outside the hospital and considered him a friend. That meant that the doctor knew Evan was married to Blake so the raised eyebrow look he gave Evan was not something that surprised Evan, but right then he didn’t give a damn. He just wanted to hear that Heather was healing great and that she could get back to her normal routine without any concerns for re-injuring her head wound.
