Theirs to Love (The Last First Kiss Menage #2)

Jackson

J ack couldn’t believe that his plan was working. When he told Emily that he wanted both her and Travis she didn’t even blink. It was as if she was meant to be theirs. The hard part was getting Travis to admit that he wanted them both. If Travis said no now, there would be no moving forward. He knew that it was an all-or-nothing deal for Emily, and he had to admit he was starting to feel the same way.

Being bisexual and a cop didn’t always work together, not that his sexual orientation mattered to everyone in his department. Still, there were a few pricks who made a bigger deal out of who he was sleeping with than they needed to.

His first assignment as a detective was the worst. He took shit daily from his partner, Logan Cross, and eventually had to write a formal complaint against him. Logan let him know that he didn’t want to ride around with him day in and day out. He would play shitty pranks, even getting other guys in the department involved, and eventually, Jack gave up trying to be the good guy. He put in a formal complaint against Logan and two other cops, and they were placed on probation. Before the whole thing was over his Sargent had him moved to his current precinct and he had to say he was a whole hell of a lot happier now. Well, except for the fact that Logan kept sending him threatening texts and even showed up at his place a few times. He was afraid that his old partner wasn’t ever going to just leave him alone and that damn report only fueled his anger.

Travis agreeing to their little threesome would show their town that there was more than one way to find happiness. Just because he and Travis liked to be with both men and women didn’t mean that they shouldn’t ever find happiness. Although most of the town’s residents would disagree. That was why he and Travis often found themselves a few towns over at Manholes. Meeting someone like Emily was unexpected, especially with the narrow-mindedness that seemed to surround the town. She accepted what he proposed without even blinking and that shocked the hell out of him.

“Can we at least sit down?” Jack nodded to Travis’s sofa and the three moved into the small family room. “You’ve been quiet, Travis. Tell me what you’re thinking.” Jack knew that his bossy nature was one of the things that Travis liked best about him. If he needed to use it to get Travis to talk to him, he would.

“I can’t decide if this is a good idea or not.” Travis had separated himself from Emily and Jack, sitting on the end of the sofa by himself. Jack wanted to pull Travis closer and wrap him in his arms like Emily had allowed him to do but he knew that he’d reject Jack’s request.

“Isn’t this what you want, what you’ve always wanted?” Jack waited for Travis to answer. He knew from talking on their first two dates that what they were offering was exactly what Travis wanted. The first night that they met, they sat at Manholes for hours talking about what they both wanted in a relationship. Both saw themselves with a woman but admitted that giving up being with men wasn’t part of their plan either. Travis had told him all about the two guys that he worked for and how they were in a committed, loving, polyamorous relationship with a woman. Although Travis’s bosses weren’t bisexual, they made their unconventional relationship work and he had to admit that was partially where he came up with the idea of the three of them trying to work something out.

“Why wouldn’t it work for us? You and I could have everything we want and give Emily everything she would ever desire.” couldn’t help himself he pulled Em onto his lap and held her against his body. He didn’t miss the way Travis’s eyes flared or the need that was evident on his face. Travis wanted this every bit as much as he did, he was just fighting it more than was willing to. Jack knew that the three of them could have something special, he just needed Travis to see that too.

“Please Travis, don’t let this fucking town win. We need to stand up for what we want, and I want you and Emily.” could feel Em holding her breath as if waiting for Travis to give his answer. Finally, Travis nodded, and he and Em both exhaled.

“Thank you, Travis,” Emily squealed, scooting off Jack’s lap to crawl over to Travis’s. He willingly accepted her curvy little ass across his lap and Jack stood to join them, pulling Travis in for a hard kiss. He liked the way Em seemed to watch them every time they had any sort of physical contact. It was as if she wasn’t sure what to expect when the two of them got together. If Jack had his way, she was about to get a crash course because he didn’t want to wait any longer to make them both his.
