‘He seems to love her. She really likes him. As soon as he got home, she went right up to him.’

“Good. It’s important that we all love her.”

I sat on the bed, grabbed my phone to scroll through as we waited for Gio to get out of the shower. Meanwhile, Cole curled up next to me, my arm draped over his shoulder, as he traced his fingers over my stomach and chest, like Gio had done earlier.

I was still rock fucking hard. Cole had his head aimed at my dick, no doubt staring at it, but he didn’t reach for it.

Gio soon came into my room wearing only a towel. He was thin, but not as skinny as Cole. He was also a lot more defined from all that heavy lifting.

Cole sat up and quickly signed with a frown on his face. ‘You both look so good and fit.’

I pinched his chin to get him to look at me. “No shaming ourselves in this house. No feeling insecure about our bodies. You’re perfect as you are. You and Gio are beautiful in your own unique ways. Understand?”

He bit his plump bottom lip and nodded, but he was still frowning.

“Marco’s right,” Gio said, giving me a curt nod.

“You’re perfect.” With that, he boldly removed his towel and let it drop to the floor.

I adored his fearlessness, ready to dive in with whatever we had planned.

I loved seeing the growing confidence within him.

Now that his fears and frustrations had diminished, a new side of him had emerged.

A stronger one. That was the Gio who should’ve been.

Now it was time to have a taste of them. Taste these chaos brothers, who changed my life, hopefully for the better. I was certain it would be.

“Get naked, Cole,” I ordered.

His face pinked again as he removed his long-sleeved T-shirt, pulling it over his head, then he stripped out of his sweats and underwear.

Cole’s hands clenched, gnawing on his lip even harder, getting used to being naked around two men. And I doubted he’d been naked around Gio before, judging by his reaction.

He was definitely on the slim side, but he had some muscle himself. There was no need to be insecure about his body. Despite his awkwardness, his cock started to swell, and in response, so did Gio’s. Mine had already been on board since Gio first touched me.

I scooted into the middle of the bed, my back propped up against my old headboard.

“Cole, you’re on one side of me. Gio, you’re on the other.

I want to watch you kiss and explore each other.

It’s about the three of us, and I will get involved, but you two need to feel each other first. It’s important, especially after longing for each other for years.

It’s time you two got used to the idea of touching and having sex together. ”

As they got settled in, I placed my thumbs inside the band of my underwear, lifted my ass, and quickly pulled them off, tossing them to the floor.

Gio and Cole’s eyes grew wide, pinging straight to my swollen cock.

I could feel the memories of when I’d had sex coming back to me. Although most of my sexual experience had been with Shane, his ghost wasn’t tormenting me about it at the moment. I couldn’t explain what a relief that was.

In typical Cole fashion, his empathy shone through as he signed, asking me if I was okay.

“Yes, Cole. I’m fine. Thank you. Now, you two face each other. I want you to kiss and learn what each other’s bodies feel like. Touch anywhere you feel comfortable.”

It turned out that Cole was the bolder one, despite Gio being the first to get naked.

Gio was careful and tentative, no doubt from his years of pining after his stepbrother, worried about failing somehow.

He wouldn’t. Cole worshiped him. But it was important they learned and experienced each other first.

Cole grabbed Gio’s face with two hands and pulled him into a deep kiss.

Gio’s always tightly wound body relaxed as he sank into the kiss, his fingers digging into Cole’s narrow hips.

Their cocks were swollen and starting to weep.

I itched to swipe away their pre-cum and suck on it, but for now, this was about them. I loved watching them come together.

I lay there, my arms loosely folded across my chest, careful not to reach for them.

I watched their every move, and how they eased into each other, becoming more comfortable, touching and exploring, learning about how their skin felt beneath their fingertips—learning about what aroused them. It was fucking stunning to watch.

Cole whimpered with need as Gio remained silent, other than his heavy breathing. He needed to let go more. He was holding back for some reason. His fingers hadn’t once left Cole’s hips.

“Gio, he’s yours. Give in to him. Give in to Cole. You can’t go wrong here. You should be Cole’s first in everything, and he should be yours.”

He pulled away and looked at me with eyes turned nearly black. “It’s not that I’m trying to hold back. We don’t wanna leave you out,” he breathed, and Cole nodded in agreement.

“Is that why you’re being tentative?”

“Yeah.”

I fucking melted. Melted . Jesus, these two… Still, I truly believed they should explore each other first. “Don’t. You’re not leaving me out. I’m watching and experiencing it with you. Trust me. I want you to have these firsts together, then I will get involved. Learn to relax and have fun, Gio.”

He looked back at Cole before nodding. “Okay.”

When Cole reached for him, to my surprise, he went straight for Gio’s cock, fisting his length. Gio gasped and then groaned, resting his face in Cole’s neck as Cole languidly and awkwardly stroked him, getting a feel of things.

They were a beautiful sight as they gave in to their need and want of each other.

You could see the moment they fully let go, tuning out the noise in their heads along with their doubts.

That was precisely what should’ve happened.

I was in awe of their bond and grateful that they let me be a part of it. Wanted me to be a part of it.

It was time for me to let go. To accept and lean into the chaos.
