XOXO

Clay & Grant

* * *

My heart melts. The words are simple and honest. My time with them last night was not only the best date, but the best night of my life.

I can’t remember ever having that much fun and feeling so free. I didn’t have one single worry being with them. They make me feel safe and bring out the joy inside of me.

I didn’t think I’d like this step as much as being between them, but Grant is right, we did it backwards, and I can’t wait for more time with them.

It must be those glasses that makes him the wise one amongst the three of us. They’re also so freaking sexy.

I haven’t decided what today brings, but I have some more tasks from my therapist once I told her about the list. One item we decided is simple enough is adding some personal touches to my apartment.

But I will have to actually leave the house and go shopping, that’s something I haven’t done. Not for myself anyway. I’d run and get things for work if Star needed something. Never for me.

Somehow, I’ve forced myself to be a complete introvert, but in reality, I never was. I’m still not, but it’s going to take some time to get back to that part of me. Fear is a bitch. I know I’ve thought it a dozen times, but it’s the truth.

My phone dings with a text.

A smile instantly forms; it’s from Clay.

Good morning, Jo.

Are you ready for our next date?

Always. When?

Tomorrow night. Pick you up at six.

Going to tell me where?

Nope.

Two can play this game, even though I secretly love not knowing. Clay’s is just too much fun to tease. I can see why Grant loves to all the time.

Do I need panties?

Dammit Jo. Are you trying to get me hard?

I do prefer you that way ;)

Now Grant’s going to have to take care of me.

I don’t think he’s complaining… my mouth is pretty empty, though.

Who knew you were such a tease?

Does this help?

Or make you harder?
