Jax nosed into Niall’s neck, murmuring, “I think your bosses are into the omega next door.” He trailed a series of kisses along Niall’s jaw until he reached his ear. “Pretty sure Sorcha reciprocates.”

Niall pushed Jax firmly against his sensitive skin. “You see it too? I’ve been getting that impression for a while.”

Jax hummed as he sucked near Niall’s Adam’s apple. “You never told me how hot the little omega was.”

Niall stiffened briefly. “Did you need to know?”

“Not really. But you could have warned me about the energy there. It’s bad enough I can’t stop imagining Ronan’s and Teal’s hands all over you. Now my mind also wants to picture them with Sorcha.”

Niall blanched, pulling out of Jax’s arms. He studied Jax’s face before his eyebrows furrowed. “What?” he asked.

“Hmm?”

“You’ve… imagined me …with them?”

Jax grinned sheepishly, with a slight lift of his shoulders. “Sometimes.”

Niall’s chin dropped. “Who are you and what have you done with my boyfriend?”

“What do you mean?”

“Ronan’s voice is sexy? The little omega is hot?” Niall cleared his throat. “And you’ve thought about me with them? And Sorcha? What’s gotten into you?”

Somewhat surprised by Niall’s response, Jax answered softly, “I told you, Nigh. I meant it when I said I got over myself. Now that I know it’s not a threat to me—and I know it even more after today—I’m done forcing my mind to hold back. The floodgates of my imagination are officially wide open.”

Niall scraped a hand over his jaw, incredulity in his features. He opened his mouth to speak but no words came out. Finally, he threw his hands up and stalked into the bedroom.

Jax followed immediately. “Nigh, talk to me.”

Bracing his arms heavily atop the dresser, Niall shook his head.

“I don’t know what to make of this. You’ve gone from being pro-monogamy your whole life to imagining scenarios in a matter of months.

For the record, this afternoon wasn’t about re-starting our discussion on whether you’re okay with me being with them again. ”

“Fucking them. You can say it.”

“Fine. Fucking them.”

Niall moved to sit down on the bed, resting his elbows on his knees.

“Babe, I’m really glad you enjoyed yourself this afternoon.

And that you’re open to not having everything be so black and white.

But being curious about something and actually exploring it are two different things.

And right now, there is no part of me that wants to run to Ronan and Teal and say, ‘Hey guys, Jax is cool if we fuck, so let’s do it.

’ It almost feels like you’re disappointed that I’m okay with it being just the two of us. ”

Jax sat next to Niall, linking their hands together.

“I hear you. I do. And this is not me trying to push you back into their bed. But I saw how it was between you three today, and I can see how something could happen naturally. If it doesn’t, fine.

But I’m done being scared to talk about it, being afraid to let my mind go where it wants to go. ”

“And where does it want to go?”

“So. Many. Places.”

Jax lifted his shirt over his head and rose to his feet in front of Niall. Slowly, Jax undid the buttons of his jeans, pushing them down along with his briefs before kicking both away.

Reaching out, Jax guided Niall’s face to his hard cock, running the tip along the seam of his boyfriend’s lips.

“My mind went every which way. I can be a horny, dirty beta when I want to be. But I always ended up here, with my cock inside you.” He pushed his erection firmly against Niall’s mouth, painting his ruby lips with pre-cum. “Open your mouth and suck me, and I’ll tell you all about it.”

Niall complied, moaning at Jax’s bossy display. Quickly, he removed his own shirt, which still smelled vaguely like grill smoke, before leaning his chest against the wiry hair of Jax’s thighs, taking his boyfriend’s shaft to the back of his throat in one swallow.

“I saw the way Ronan touched the small of your back,” Jax rasped, closing his eyes as he began rocking his hardness in and out of Niall’s mouth.

“And it made me envision his hands digging into your ass, running those thick palms along your cheeks, opening you up and fingering you until you screamed. I imagined maybe I’d do this, have my dick in your mouth, and fuck your face while Ronan got you ready for his cock.

” Niall moaned again and Jax’s erection bounced in his mouth.

“Does he have a huge alpha cock, Nigh? I bet he does. I bet it’s big and thick and he used it to split you open wide.

And I bet Teal saw it too. In my mind, I pictured him licking you, getting you ready before offering your ass to his alpha.

” Niall squeezed his eyes shut and moved his hands into his lap, tugging on his cock as Jax kept talking.

“Or maybe he had you too? Did the gorgeous omega lawyer have your perfect hole, Nigh? Did he rub your sweet spot the way I do? Or did he suck your dick while Ronan pounded into you? Mmm. I can imagine it all. Would you want me there, Nigh? Do you want me to kiss you and suck you and hold you down while Ronan fucks you into the mattress?”

Niall whimpered, letting Jax know he was close even as he continued sucking greedily on Jax’s shaft.

Jax didn’t let up.

“Does that get you excited, Nigh? Thinking of me there? Watching? Offering you up to an alpha?” Jax felt the tingle in his spine signaling he was about to blow.

But he kept talking, loving how it affected Niall.

“Or maybe you want me to watch you fuck Teal? Is that it? You want to turn me on by putting on a show? Pounding into your omega boss? Or would you rather we both watch Ronan and Teal fuck the little omega next door? Sorcha looked innocent. I bet Ronan and Teal could teach him all about pleasure. About all the ways men can love one another with their bodies. Like I said, Nigh. So. Many. Ways. Endless possibilities.”

At that, Jax felt the warm wetness of Niall’s release on his thighs as his boyfriend came hard. The base of Jax’s cock jerked before he shoved his erection to the back of Niall’s throat. He shot once…twice…three times, a huge load, before bending forward to rest his chest on top of Niall’s head.

The men panted as they flopped onto the bed, Niall’s cum still dripping down Jax’s legs. Turning their heads sideways, they shared a long, affirming kiss.

“Well,” Niall breathed out. “That was…a surprise.”

“Yeah.” Jax exhaled, almost embarrassed as his post-orgasm haze faded, recalling the words that had just come out of his mouth. “It was certainly…something.”

“It was hot is what it was, very…effective.”

Jax grunted a laugh.

Niall placed a hand on Jax’s chest, still breathing hard.

“Babe, I think I’m going to love this new side of you, even if it caught me off guard.

” He scratched his nails through the silky hair on Jax’s belly before his face went from satisfaction to concentration.

“But we need to be thoughtful here. It’s one thing to fantasize. It’s another to act on those thoughts.”

“I know,” Jax agreed. “We don’t need to decide anything definitively either.

If you say you don’t want to go back to the McGinns’ bed, I believe you.

But I’m glad you let me verbalize my fantasies.

I don’t want to feel bad for having them, or go back to feeling like it’s wrong to even contemplate new things. ”

“You should always be honest about what’s on your mind. Besides, I think we can both agree that what we just did was fucking amazing. Only, I don’t know if it means anything beyond dirty talk between us, you know?”

“I understand… Hey, Nigh?”

“Yeah?”

“After today, the barbeque, I feel like things will be different. I don’t know how but it’ll be good. Now that Ronan and Teal feel more real to me. Sorcha too. Not just people you talk about.”

“That’s good. That’s what I wanted. I don’t want my life to be a Venn diagram anymore—me with you and me with them, with only a little bit of intersection. I want my life to be one big circle, with all the people I care about inside of it.”

Hearing Niall articulate the hugeness of his heart, Jax was doubly certain they were meant to be together. And it didn’t matter if there were other people in the circle with them. The only thing that mattered was that the two of them were there.

And always would be.
