“Well, I’ve seen porn!” Evan defends, and Dan just looks at him.

“Okay, Captain Pornie, walk me through it,” Dan challenges. “I’ll be the pizza guy, and Jeff can be the plumber. You can be… hey, why don’t you be the high-powered young executive?”

Evan grins at him with a glint in his eye. “Okay, fine.” He laces his fingers together and flexes them in front of him as if he’s warming up. He sits back in his chair and his eyes focus on the eaves of Jeff’s roof, and then he begins.

“The young executive comes home after a hard day and finds that his sink is backed up. He’s angry—he’s been told that this has been fixed. So he calls the plumber, who comes over and gets to work. But the executive can’t help but notice the plumber’s tight ass and sexy voice.” Evan cuts his eyes teasingly over toward Jeff. “And before you know it, the plumber’s still on his back, but now the executive is over top of him, fucking his mouth. Everything’s going along great until the doorbell rings. The executive wants his dinner, so he pulls out of the plumber’s mouth and tells him to stay put, and then he goes and opens the door for the pizza boy. The executive did up his pants, but he’s still obviously hard, and the pizza boy asks if he needs any help with that.”

Evan takes a break and looks at Dan. “So, how’s it work for you so far?”

 

“So far the pizza boy isn’t getting any action. It’s not working for me at all.”

“Oh, you want some action, huh? Okay, so the executive says fuck yeah he wants some help. Pizza boy’s tip is in the kitchen. So they go in there and pizza boy almost leaves when he sees the plumber, but he’s not the kind of guy to freak out and run away. Is he, Dan?” Evan asks pointedly. He’s joking, mostly.

“Fuck off and get on with the story, man.”

Evan laughs a little huskily. “Yeah, you like the story
now
. Okay, so the executive tells the pizza boy to strip, and the plumber sits up, ’cause this is getting good. And the pizza boy looks like he’s not gonna do it, but

then the executive grabs him and gives him a really hot kiss, lots of teeth and hands, and then he pushes the pizza boy away and tells him to strip or get out.” Evan looks from Jeff to Dan. “Obviously the executive is a bit of an ass, and the finer plot details could be changed in any reenactment.”

Jeff shakes his head. “You are enjoying this too much, kid.”

Evan grins wickedly before continuing. “So the pizza boy strips down, and the plumber and the executive just stare at him for a minute because he’s so beautiful. And then the plumber crawls forward, wanting to get his lips around pizza boy’s cock, and the executive stops him, but then says, yeah, okay, do it. ’Cause the plumber’s a bit of a bitch, and he won’t do a thing unless it’s okay with the executive.” Evan glances over for a reaction, but Jeff just shakes his head. “And the executive makes the pizza boy sit down on a kitchen chair, and the plumber goes to work on him. And then the executive pulls his dick out again and gives it to the pizza boy to suck on, and he goes to town, slurping around like it’s an ice cream cone. Like it’s a fucking panini.”

Dan’s torn between laughing his ass off and getting pretty damn turned on. He shifts in his chair a bit to give himself a little more room, and Evan notices and smiles like he just won the lottery.

Evan shifts in his own chair before continuing. “Okay, so, this is a porno, so continuity isn’t exactly crucial. So now they’re in the bedroom, and they’re all naked, and the pizza boy is leaning up against the headboard, and here’s the twist, the
executive
is sucking him off, while the plumber is giving the executive a deep, deep rim job. Everybody’s happy, and then the plumber pulls up and starts fucking the executive, really hard and fast, making it hurt a little ’cause he can tell the executive is kinda into that shit.”

Dan laughs out loud, and then settles down when Evan gives him a mock dirty look.

“Okay, so, where was I? Oh, yeah, getting fucked. So, they go at it like that for a bit, and then the pizza boy decides that as totally outstanding as the executive is at giving head, he wants something else, so he slides down the bed until he’s underneath the executive, and the executive leans down on him so their cocks are together, and the executive is getting fucked so hard that he needs both his hands to hold himself up, but the pizza boy brings
his
hand down and starts jacking them both together, and the pizza boy and the executive are making out this whole time, lots of sloppy kisses and necking and whatever.”

Evan looks over at Jeff. “So, it’s a porno, so they’re gonna want the money shot. But, I don’t know… I think maybe the plumber’s a bit of a rebel, and he’s gonna come in the executive’s ass. What do you think, Jeff? Money shot or depth charge?”

“Depth charge? Jesus, kid.” Jeff’s looking pretty ruffled himself, and Dan’s glad to see it. Jeff rubs a hand over his face. “Yeah, he stays in for sure. A little harder, a little deeper….”

“Yeah, and then he goes off. And the executive can feel it, and that sets
him
off too. So that leaves just the pizza boy. The other two take a minute to recover, and then they give the pizza boy the full treatment. One of them blows him while the other one sucks his balls, and then they trade around and one goes up and works on the guy’s nipples, and finds all his little sensitive spots and marks them for future reference, ’cause they’re all gonna want to do this again. So, finally the pizza boy comes, hard, right down the plumber’s throat ’cause the plumber is fucking awesome at that. And then they clean up a bit and all fall asleep together on the executive’s huge bed. The End.” Evan is pretty clearly proud of himself, and Dan really can’t blame him.

After an appreciative silence, Dan says, “Okay, yeah, so maybe there’s some merit to the whole threesome thing.”
Jeff and Evan both laugh, but no one seems to know just how to proceed. Or at least Evan and Dan don’t know. Jeff seems to think that the best thing to do is to sit there and watch them like they’re baby pandas, and he wants to see their next adorable trick. Dan’s thinking that it’s about time to wipe that smugness off his face, but he tries to hold back a little. If they want to talk, he can talk.
“So, are we all good with casual, then? I mean, if we’re together, great, if we’re not, we’re on our own?” Dan sees them exchange glances and he looks from one to the other. “Because I’m not really looking to tie myself down when both of you are free to sleep around—that doesn’t work for me.”

Jeff clears his throat. “What if we were interested in changing that? We could keep things a little loose, but what if we wanted to make it a… well, not monogamous, I guess… duogamous? Whatever—what if we wanted it to be an exclusive thing?”

Dan hadn’t really expected that, and he has to think for a second. “No. That’s… no. I mean… you guys have each other, right? You love each other. That’s great, but… where does that leave me? I’m fine being the junior partner if we’re just screwing around sometimes, but not if I’m not allowed to look for something else with someone who might… you know, someone who might turn into something for me.” Dan’s proud of himself for that. He’s worth having someone love him. Justin had loved him, and Justin wasn’t stupid. He just needs to keep reminding himself.

Evan leans forward. “Okay, but why couldn’t that be us? I mean, okay, right now—we like you and we want you, a
lot
for both of those, but okay, you’re right, we’re not full on in love. But maybe we could be….”

Dan looks at Jeff in some alarm. What is Evan talking about? But Jeff is looking back levelly at Dan, acting for all the world as if he agrees with Evan’s crazy ideas. “Maybe….” Dan needs to nip this in the bud. “Maybe anything could happen, I guess. But, really… what are the chances? Seems a lot more likely that you’ll decide that it was a fun little experiment but it’s time to get back to real life. And then I’m left standing there, all… attached… to two guys who are moving on.”

Evan shakes his head stubbornly. “I don’t see why it’s more likely that you’ll get ‘attached’ than we will.”

“Yeah? Okay, how ’bout if one of you does get attached? But only one of you?” Dan shakes his head. “It’s hard enough with two people. Throwing a third into the mix is… I don’t know, doesn’t it seem like we’re asking for trouble?”

“So what are you suggesting?” Jeff asks. “Are you saying it’s never going to happen, or just that we should start slow and proceed with caution?”

Dan looks at Jeff and then over at Evan. He already feels more than he should for both of them, and a part of him is screaming that he should get out now before he starts caring even more. The chances of this ending up well are so slim. But… he wants it. Wants something. He just needs to be smart about it. “No, I can’t say it’s never going to happen. But, yeah, I think we should start
really
slow. And just… I don’t know… I think we’ve got to stay totally aware of the potential problems.”

Evan looks a little impatient. “So, slow with everything? Like, the physical too? Or just the emotional?”

 

“No, dude, I’m ready to go with the physical! I mean… is that cool with you guys?”

Evan nods enthusiastically, and Dan laughs a bit as they both turn to look at Jeff. He seems a bit more thoughtful. “Are we sure that we can keep the two separate?” He looks at Evan. “He’s not wrong about it being risky.”

Evan looks subdued for a second, then stares Jeff down. “A couple days ago… that was the closest we’ve ever come to calling it quits. Right?” Jeff nods reluctantly, and Dan feels bad again. Why had he dragged other people into his issues? But Evan is still talking. “I think we’ve come too far to back down. We’re”—he looks at Dan—“I think we’ve pretty much committed ourselves to seeing this through. If we don’t do this….” He looks back over at Jeff, and smiles sadly. “If we don’t do this, we’re going to have a hell of a time hanging on, aren’t we?”

Jeff looks down at his hands, then over at Dan. “I think he’s right. I think… Evan and I are pretty well committed to making some sort of change. A change bigger than just both of us fooling around with the same person. It… we’re all off balance, somehow. And I think—we both think—that you could balance us out again. That we could care about you just as much as we care about each other, and… I don’t know, that it would take some of the pressure off.” He looks over and can clearly tell that Dan isn’t convinced. He laughs regretfully. “Yeah, I can’t really explain it. You’re probably right that we should start slow, but… I just want you to understand. I
can’t
keep the physical separate from the emotional. Not with you. So, if you want to protect yourself and keep it casual, okay. But just… be aware, okay? This is important to me. And to Evan. And to the two of us together.”

Dan feels overwhelmed, like maybe this is a bit more than he signed up for. It’s crazy, for them to think that he’s going to somehow save their relationship. He kind of wants to run, to get the hell out of there and find somewhere calm and safe. He could always jerk off thinking about Evan’s story, he doesn’t need to stay and see how it plays out in reality. He’s pretty sure that leaving would be the smart thing to do. He tries to consult Puppet-Chris, but he’s just as confused as Dan is. Great.

Dan looks over at Jeff and Evan, both sitting and watching him, and he realizes that it’s too late. There’s no way he can stand up and walk away from them. Not just because he wants them, but because he cares about them, and if they think that he can help them, then that’s what he wants to do. He’s nervous again, but he’s committed. He stands up, and he can tell that Evan thinks he’s leaving. Dan shakes his head gently, and smiles at Evan, then at Jeff. “Okay,” he says.

Jeff seems relieved and satisfied, but Evan wants clarification. “Okay? Okay to what?”

Dan shrugs. “Okay. I’m gonna try to keep myself from getting too into this, but, yeah, I understand that it’s important to you guys, and I’m not gonna be careless about that. And I do need to start slow with any… emotional commitments or whatever, but… I’ll try to be open to at least the idea of more.” He tries to look less serious and more sexy. “Is that enough? Or do I have to go pick up a fucking pizza or something? I mean, what’s a guy got to do to get some action around here?”

Evan looks at Jeff as if for permission, and when Jeff speaks his voice has that honey-dipped growl that Dan can’t resist. “All you got to do is ask, Dan.”

Dan tries to make his own voice even half as sexy as Jeff’s, and it comes out warm and smoky. “All right, then. I’m asking.” He turns and starts toward the house.

Dan isn’t sure which of the two moves faster, but he knows that both of them have caught up to him before he gets to the door of the house, and then their mouths are on him, their bodies pressed against his, their hands everywhere. Dan lets his overworked brain turn off as he gives in to the sensations. He’s pretty sure that at least this aspect of things is going to work just fine.

gets the door open, and then they’re all stumbling inside. Dan feels himself pressed up against the wall, Evan leaning in against his right side, a rippling, writhing flame, and Jeff on his left, slowly flowing lava. It’s no surprise that Dan’s skin is burning. He wonders if that’s all he is, more fuel for the furnace of their desire, but then their hands lace together over his stomach and work in under his shirt, and he stops caring.

Evan’s lips find Dan’s sensitive spot just under his ear, and he gasps in response, tilting his head to give better access. He feels Evan’s mouth curl up. “Jeff, try here,” Evan murmurs, and he uses his hand to guide Jeff’s head to the exact spot on Dan’s other side, and then they’re both kissing and nipping, and Dan doesn’t even know what to do, he can’t move for one without blocking the other, so he just tilts his head back against the wall and lets the chills run down his spine, one hand wrapped around Jeff’s shoulder and clutching, the other… oh, the other is near Evan’s waistband. Dan runs his hand down over the outside of his fly, along Evan’s hard length, and he feels Evan moan in approval.

Jeff’s attention is caught by the sound, and then he’s pulling away, and Dan feels cold on that side. He forces his eyes open and looks over to where Jeff is standing, one hand bracing himself against the wall, the other absentmindedly rubbing at his jaw.
