“You were right. I can admit that. She is choosing your father, and you have every right to be angry at her.” I look him right in the eyes when I say the words so he can see how serious I am.

Ambrose blinks. “Are you feeling okay?”

I smirk. “I’d feel better if Tobi didn’t have to study and he was sucking my dick.”

“Why aren’t you studying?” Tobi quips.

“Because I’m almost done, and my grades this semester don’t fucking matter. I’m going to have to pick where I’m going in the next month or two, and as long as I graduate, it’s a done deal.” I’ve gotten some acceptances to med schools and some more interviews. Now it is just a waiting game. “So why study?”

Tobi rolls his eyes. “Lucky you, but I can’t really study with your dick in my mouth.”

“I could read the text to you while you blow me.”

Ambrose subtly adjusts while outwardly scoffing.

“There is more to studying than reading or hearing it, and I think your cock will distract me.”

“That’s true. My cock is pretty distracting.” I glance over at Ambrose. “Sorry, we can’t help you out with that.”

“With what?” he asks, confused until I drop my gaze to his groin. “Shut the fuck up.”

“I know how much you like to watch.” I slowly glance over at him, smiling the whole damn time. “I was trying to do you a favor, too.”

Ambrose throws a pillow at me. “You get to watch next time.”

“Jokes on you—I like watching. I came so fast watching you take his ass.”

“Okay, well, now that I can’t focus anymore…” Tobi shoves to a seat. “Let’s get ready to go.”

Ambrose comes with us, shockingly. It’s good to know he’s easier to convince than I thought he would be.

I elbow him when we step out of his building as I take Tobi’s hand in mine. “Thanks for being our third wheel.”

He rolls his eyes, but he’s smiling, which is nice to see. We walk the couple of blocks to Cuddle Buddy, and the weather is shockingly nice for spring in the city. Perfect time of the year to cuddle up under blankets and utilize the space.

“Why are we walking into an abandoned building?”

“You’ll see.” Tobi has a proud little grin on his kissable lips and leads the way.

“Oh ye of little faith,” I say as we get into an elevator.

“If this is going to be some sort of snuff fantasy, I need prior warning.” Ambrose seems a bit leery, which I’m loving, but as soon as we’re alone in the elevator, he shoulders me out of the way and picks up Tobi, kissing him hard.

I wrap my arms around both of them and wait for them to come up for air so I can kiss Tobi.Ambrose gives me a quickbrow lift at my arm around him.I shrug. Not like it meant anything. It was the easiest way to get closer to Tobi.

When the doors pull back, I shove him back and grab Tobi’s hand again, strolling out confidently while Ambrose has to regain his footing.

We find our little space and pull the shade closed, then we arrange ourselves on the sofa. Ambrose isn’t touching either of us, but he’s close, and it will be good for him to relax. Between hockey and Tobi, I don’t think he’s done anything for himself since the school year started, and he needs it.

By the end of the movie, Tobi has his head in my lap, half laying down with his feet touching Ambrose, and Ambrose has his hand on Tobi’s ankle. It’s cute as fuck, and I snap a mental picture of it.

“Ice cream?” I ask when we leave.

Tobi nods excitedly. It’s one of the easiest ways to get him to eat.

We head over to the ice cream shop and stand back to pick out what we want.

“I want the gummy bear sundae in a waffle cone,” I say after a few seconds.
