“I know you do, baby, and I love you so much it feels unreal sometimes, but I think you’re supposed to let Cashel handle that part on his own.” Bates’s sweet response was met with a scoff from the crazy nut.
“I’ve waited a long time to tell you already.” Shrugging, Gareth didn’t seem like he was going to agree with Bates’s admonishment. “He needed a push, so I helped.”
He wasn’t exactly wrong, so I just talked around it. “I can talk for myself, thank you.”
Rolling my eyes as they both nearly giggled, I sat up enough to lean over Gareth and gave Bates a tender kiss. “I’m going to pretend the pushy pup didn’t say anything.”
Bates probably wanted to laugh, but he managed a serious expression. “I didn’t hear anything.”
They were both ridiculous.
“I’m pretty sure I love you both because you’re nearly insane and I seem to appreciate that, especially in tall, happy men.” That got giggles from both of them, but I ignored it as I gave Bates another kiss and reminded myself that I couldn’t kill Gareth. “I love you.”
Pushing himself up on his elbow, Bates leaned over Gareth and wrapped his free arm around my neck, pulling me in for another kiss and sandwiching a still-giggling Gareth between us. “I love you too, my light. You balance us out and I love that soft heart that’s hiding under such a sarcastic exterior.”
Yep, insane.
“And I love you both for all the cuddles you give me.” Gareth managed to wrap his arms around both of us, wiggling and squishing us against him. “And I’ll love you even more once I get a shower, because you’re right, I’m really sticky.”
Drama queen.
But he wasn’t wrong, so after giving Bates one last kiss, we both separated and looked down at our smiling pup. “Best scene ever.”
Definitely.
“Come on. You’re getting cum on the covers.” Shaking my head, I climbed off the bed and gave Gareth a glare that had his giggle starting up again. “Bathroom.”
It wasn’t romantic but he was leaking cum everywhere too.
Bates just laughed as he rolled off the bed and started tugging Gareth with him. “Dibs on cleaning the dirty pup, then we’re going to put some lotion on that pink bottom of yours, naughty boy.”
Oh, good idea.
Gareth just gave Bates another romantic smile as he let himself be dragged into the bathroom. “You both spanked me so good. Thank you.”
I really wasn’t sure he should be thanking us for making his ass ache…especially when we’d worn him out in more ways than one. But Gareth found a lot of crazy things romantic, so I wasn’t surprised when Bates hugged him tight and kissed his forehead. “You’re welcome.”
Yep, they were both completely nuts, so it was probably a good thing that they had me to keep them mostly sane.
And on track.
Gareth started rocking against Bates, clearly trying to decide how quickly he could get more firm attention. “Stop that. You need a shower.”
And his ass needed a break.
Snickering, Gareth aimed for innocent as he looked over at me but it wasn’t believable in the slightest. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Bullshit.
“You need a break.” Every part of him needed a break. “We’re going to take care of you whether you like it or not, and that starts with a shower.”
Because he was well beyond a washcloth level of sticky.
“Yes, Sir.” Gareth sighed, resting his head on Bates’s shoulder. “You’re so sexy when you get all growly.”
I was not going to blush.
I was not going to blush.
I was not going to blush.
“If you keep pushing me to get a reaction, I’m going to show you what I found out about cock cages.” That had the drama queen’s eyes going wide and it seemed like he stopped breathing for a few seconds.
Had he thought he’d been the only one to do research lately?
“Oh, that’s…” Gareth’s words faded off before he wiggled against Bates. “Other Sir…I wouldn’t like that, right? I mean, the look on his face says I’m not supposed to like that threat.”
Bates looked like he was mentally debating if insanity was sexy or adorable. “I think you’d find it very memorable at the very least, but how about you not push his buttons too much? I think we’ll all like cuddling a bit better if he’s not planning where to bury your cock-caged body.”
The lunatic took a few seconds before he nodded. “Good point, but you’ll explain why it’s hot and scary at the same time later, right?”
“Oh yes, my curious boy.” Kissing Gareth’s head, Bates nearly purred out the words. “I’m going to thoroughly enjoy explaining that one.”
They were both insane…but sadly, it was my favorite thing about them, so I hoped they never changed.
Chapter 21
Bates
“Are we sure this is a good idea?” Surprisingly enough, it was Gareth who was questioning the sanity of our current predicament.
