new. The
three of us are still getting used to each other.”
    Three. So the other one— Boyfriends. Ian had said boyfriends, plural. “Wow.”
He winced at that. “Sorry. It’s just—I had no idea Ian was bi.”
    A shrug. “I don’t think
it was something he told many people. Don’t feel bad that you didn’t know.”
    “I just wish I’d known earlier. I would’ve—” He bit off that thought, covering his embarrassment
with a quick spoonful of soup. He was pretty sure Ian knew he was
attracted to him, and didn’t have a problem with it. Hell, Diana used to tease
them both about celebrating with a threesome when Ian sold his first novel. “Never mind.”
    Aphros smiled at him. “You would’ve
tried to get him in bed. I can’t blame you. He’s incredibly sexy.”
    “Uh, yeah. And this
conversation is incredibly awkward.”
    “Let’s talk about something else, then.”
    “Good idea.” He looked around the
kitchen. “Where’s Norma?”
    Aphros glanced at the ceiling. “Sleeping
with my brother, I’m afraid. She seems rather taken with him.”
    “Oh. So, your brother is here, too?”
    “Yes, you saw him earlier.” He rubbed
the back of his fingers along his beard. “No beard, looked very serious? Which
is his default expression, by the way, so don’t be bothered by it.”
    Nick felt his jaw start to open, and
closed it with a click. “Wait. You and your brother are Ian’s boyfriends? Both of you?”
    Aphros chuckled. “I know, it’s a bit
unusual, but I assure you it works for us. We’ve managed to share him quite
nicely so far.”
    Dimly, Nick wondered if he’d somehow
wandered into a soft porn fantasy. Twins. That lucky
bastard got twins. “Uh, okay. It’s cool,” he said, only slightly strangled.
    At which point said lucky bastard ambled
into the kitchen, blinking sleepily and scratching his belly. “Thought I heard voices. Hey, angel.” He leaned down and gave Aphros a kiss, then wandered over to the refrigerator.
“Nice to see you rejoined the land of the living, dude. I see Aph fed you.”
    “Yeah. Thanks, by the
way.” Nick nodded at the redhead, who smiled. “I don’t feel like I’m about to
fall over and die anymore, which is a plus.”
    “True.” Ian came back with a glass of
orange juice, taking the seat next to Aphros. “How long were you on the road,
anyway?”
    “Twenty hours, give or take. It seemed
like the best thing to do since I had Norma with me. I didn’t think a motel
would take both of us.”
    “Wouldn’t it have been easier to kennel
her somewhere and fly down here?”
    “I couldn’t leave her in Chicago.” Nick stared
at the crumbs on his plate. The letter on his chest throbbed, an echoed
heartbeat. “It’s complicated.”
    “Yeah, I bet.” Ian studied him, then turned to Aphros. “Angel, I need to talk to Nick in
private. Would you mind giving us some space?”
    “Not at all. Call me if you
need anything.” Aphros kissed him, then stood and came around the table,
resting his hand on Nick’s shoulder. “I’m glad you came down here, Nick.”
    He had no idea how it worked, but that
simple contact drove back the churning in his gut. Aphros left, and Nick tried
to smile. “If you ever get tired of him...”
    “Yeah, no.” Ian didn’t
smile back. “Nick, tell me what happened.”
    Nick hunched under the towel still
draped around his shoulders. He had no idea where to start, how to explain. Not
something like this.
    He closed his eyes. Just start at the beginning. “What do you know about BDSM?”
    ****
    After a half hour of talking, Nick’s
throat felt like sandpaper. Ian had gotten up and fetched beers for both of
them. When Nick explained how Barnard had cut him, Ian’s knuckles had gone white
around the beer bottle.
    Nick played with his own bottle, rolling
the bottom on the kitchen table. “So, do you think I’m a freak?”
    Ian blinked. “Of
course not. Jesus, how long have we known each other?”
    “Two years. But before
