Epilogue
six weeks later
Spring was finally here. Yes, we did get another snow after that lovely late February warm snap we had around the time that Alexandra Bagby dropped her malpractice suit against Noah, and Noah confessed his love for both Danielle and me in front of his boss, his colleagues, his patients, and most of his office staff.
Today we were celebrating something else momentous: Danielle got her cast off.
Cynda and Jason had fired up the grill, and we’d invited Raine, Poe, Molly, and Lachlan to cook out with us. Noah had invited his attorney, Maggie, and her husband, Leo, to join us. And Danielle had invited Elaine Greene and her wife to join us as well.
It was quite the crowd, but I knew it was going to be a fun time. I’d even ordered a cake for Danielle that I hoped she would get a kick out of—and not be too mad at my joke.
Tomorrow, she was auditioning for a job teaching drama and musical theater to summer camp students at IU. She still wasn’t one hundred percent sure what she was going to do after she finished up her MFA in December. She had thought about going into teaching or perhaps applying to law school.
She was going to have that deviated septum repaired at the end of the summer, between the end of camps and the beginning of the fall semester. Noah’s colleague Jessica would perform the surgery. She knew there was a chance her voice might never be one hundred percent the same as it was before. And she was coming to terms with that, just like she did her broken leg and losing the lead role in The Music Man.
“You look beautiful tonight!” I greeted her when she came out of the bedroom wearing a lovely sundress.
“Look, I’m wearing sandals!” she gushed. “I know, it’s only sixty degrees, but I can wear two shoes again! Do you have any idea how exciting that is?”
I gave her a kiss, and we walked down the hallway together to where Noah and Raine were having a heated discussion in the living room about some obscure nineteenth-century book. Elaine and her wife, Isobel, joined us.
“Danielle, you look absolutely gorgeous!” Elaine gushed. “And I know you’re going to nail your audition and interview tomorrow for the camp job. I’ve already put in a good word for you with the camp director.” She winked.
“Oh my gosh, thank you!” Danielle brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and grinned.
“Well, isn’t that a beautiful ring!” her voice professor cooed, taking Danielle’s hand to get a closer look at it. “Is it an antique?”
“It was my mother’s engagement ring,” Noah said.
“Oh, so you two really are engaged!” Elaine clasped her hands together in joy. “You don’t know how happy that makes me. I’ll sing at your wedding if you’d like!”
“Now slow down there,” Noah said with a laugh. “I originally gave it to her as a prop for the charity ball.”
“I returned it to him after the ball,” Danielle confessed. “But when I was doing his laundry and found it in his pants pocket, I put it back on for safekeeping.”
“Yes, and after that all went down in Bagby’s office a few weeks ago? I told her to keep it. We’ll make it official someday.” He shot her a wink and put his arm around her. Then he wrapped his other arm around me. “But whatever we do, it will be all three of us. No one gets left out. No one gets left behind.”
Elaine grinned from ear to ear. “That is just the most beautiful thing. You three make such a cute?—”
“Throuple,” Raine supplied. “That’s the right word!”
“The cake is here!” Cynda announced from the kitchen. “Come see it!”
I grabbed Danielle’s hand. “Now look, I don’t want you to get mad about the cake, okay? I mean it as a joke… You know you’re going to kick ass at your audition tomorrow.”
“Why would I be mad?” She scrunched up her eyebrows adorably as she took my hand and Noah took her other, and we all three walked into the kitchen together.
There, on the table, was a huge white sheet cake with lavender roses—Danielle’s favorite color.
And in curlicue writing, it said,
Break a Leg, Danielle!
“Aris! Oh my god, how could you?” She punched my arm playfully, and all of us burst into laughter.
Later that night, I was anxious to get all of our guests out of the house so I could be alone with my lovers. We had been working on preparing Danielle for her dream come true—and now that her cast was off, it was time to fulfill that fantasy for hopefully the first of many times.
She walked into the bedroom of her own accord from the shower, looking sexy as fuck in a lavender satin robe. Her damp hair was piled on top of her head, and her skin was glowing.
Aris had everything we needed laid out on the nightstand. And he was already stripped down to his birthday suit. He didn’t generally require much coercing to get naked. His hair was down around his shoulders, his olive skin already tan from being outside, setting off the golden-brown scruff on his jaw.
That left me, still wearing what I’d worn to the party: black jeans and a fitted button-down shirt. Danielle headed toward me, a mischievous look in her eyes. “You know you’re completely overdressed for the occasion, right?”
“Oh, was there a special DP costume I was supposed to wear?” I joked. “Should I have asked Raine to design something for me? Tell me, dear director—this is your show, after all.”
She slapped my arm playfully. “Very funny.” Then she wasted no time deftly unfastening the little buttons down the front of my shirt and pulling it open to reveal my chest and torso.
“Damn it, you’re just so fucking hot.” She pressed kisses to my pecs and down my stomach, gently lowering herself to her knees.
Aris was quick to grab a pillow for her to kneel on. “Don’t want you to hurt yourself, my goddess.”
She looked up at him with adoring eyes. “Thank you.”
With that, her focus was back on unbuttoning my pants and freeing my cock, which was growing stiff at the idea of fucking her tight ass. Every time I’d used a toy on her and worked on stretching her to prepare for me, I fantasized about this night, about being the first cock to drill into her ass while Aris fucked her pussy, only a thin wall of flesh separating us.
She stroked me from base to tip, making me lengthen and harden under her touch. A tentative taste, and her eyes rolled back in her head. “Mmm, I love the idea of getting you all hard and ready to fuck me.”
“Just not too much. I want to be able to last, okay?” I tilted her chin upward so she had to meet my gaze and hear my request.
“I’ll do my best.” Her tongue flicked out to tease me, and just before my eyes shut, I caught a glimpse of Aris sitting on the bed watching, his hand moving up and down his thick shaft.
“Damn it, Dani, you sure know how to suck cock.” I threaded my fingers through her hair and guided her up and down my dick, trying not to choke her with my excessive length.
“I want some of that too.” Aris stood next to me, presenting his enormous erection for her to taste.
Danielle went back and forth between us, and when she was sucking Aris’s cock, he played with mine. And vice versa. We did that until we were both about to lose control.
She sat back on her heels and looked up at us. “My turn?”
“Yes, my goddess.” Aris pulled her to standing and smacked her ass while she climbed up on the bed, which she could do so much easier now without the cast on her leg.
This was our first time fucking her without it. It opened up a lot of doors, like doggy and the DP we were about to try. Aris lay down on his side of the bed and pulled her over toward him. “Straddle me. Ride my face.”
She climbed aboard with no hesitation, lowering her pussy to Aris’s hungry mouth. As she rode him to multiple orgasms, I perched between Aris’s legs and made him come with my mouth, knowing full well he could get hard again when it was time to fuck Danielle senseless.
It was so fucking hot sucking him off while she fucked his face. And by the time he finished, my own cock was aching, swollen, and had left a trail of precum all the way down his leg. Oops!
I took my dick in my hand, trying to relieve a bit of the pressure. “I hope I can last…”
“Where do you want me now?” Aris asked. “I’m already getting hard again. Damn it, Dani. You’re so fucking hot. How many times did you come? You taste so fucking good.”
“Three?” she answered with a sheepish smile.
“Climb aboard.” He gestured toward his cock, and she moved down his body, lifting up onto her knees. She took him into her hand and began to stroke. Meanwhile, I was trying to figure out if I should have done the same thing as Aris—gotten off first so I could last longer in round two.
No, I was determined to make this work. I’d waited too long, and I didn’t want to take the chance of not being able to go a second round. Aris was younger and more reliable when it came to that. Hell, he could come four, five, six times a night if I had the energy to keep up with him. Having Danielle here to help keep Aris satisfied was a huge bonus.
“Fuck, Aris, you feel so good,” she moaned as she guided his cock into her pussy, sliding down on it until her thighs rested on his. She sat there motionless for a few seconds, just acclimating to the feeling of him inside her.
“Go ahead and start fucking him—but go slow,” I instructed as I moved into position behind her. “I’m going to get you ready to take me.”
She did as told and slowly lifted herself up and down. A squeal burst from her throat when I spread her cheeks and rimmed her tight hole. “Oh, god,” she groaned, “if you keep that up, I’m going to come again.”
“Go ahead,” I said. “You get to have as many orgasms as you want. That’s the reward you get for being a woman.”
“Damn right,” she gritted out. “We deserve all the orgasms.”
I smiled as I licked her again, feeling her whole body quiver against my tongue. Then I took out the lube and began to gently insert my finger.
“Go slow,” she sighed as she rode Aris.
“Yeah, good idea, go slow,” Aris agreed. “I’m already ready to bust another nut! Fuck!”
I laughed as I positioned my cock at her back entrance and pressed forward a little. She gasped at the sensation, and I backed off a bit. “Relax, baby, this is going to feel so good. You’re going to be so full of cock. Just think about how good it’ll feel.”
“Fuck…” she groaned as she pressed back against me and took the tip inside.
I gripped her hips, steadying myself. Holy shit, this was going to be a test of my endurance. Just the tip felt so exquisite, I could have come right then and there.
“More,” she moaned. “Please…Noah…fuck me. I need your huge cock in my ass.”
“That’s not exactly helping the whole self-control situation,” I gritted out as I pushed deeper inside. She could barely take me in her pussy…but somehow she seemed to be doing better with this.
“Yes, oh god!” she screamed, her head thrown back as we both began to move in sync, both sets of our hands on her hips, controlling her movements.
I couldn’t believe how amazing this was, and how Aris and I had been missing out on this dynamic our entire relationship. I felt more connected to him now, with Danielle between us, than I ever felt when just the two of us fucked. How was that possible?
“This was meant to be,” Aris rushed out as his body tensed. “Fuck, I can’t last… Your pussy is so tight. Fuuuuuck!”
That set off a chain of reactions with Danielle reaching her climax, the spasms squeezing my cock like a vise. I could barely move at all, she was coming so hard, and before I could bring myself back under control, cum shot up from my balls like a rocket being launched into space. I held on for dear life as my cum gushed out, and stars, planets and entire universes appeared in my field of vision.
Our first DP would not be our last…
“My god, that was amazing!” I lay back against Aris’s chest while Noah curled up on his side and wrapped his arm around me. I loved that we were all connected, our breaths synchronizing as we came down from our orgasms.
“You know how much I love you both, right?” I asked with a breathy sigh.
“Of course we do,” Aris said.
“Do you remember accusing me of acting the role of your girlfriend a couple months ago?” I lifted my head just enough to make eye contact with him.
He scoffed. “Well, I saw how you acted so expertly as Noah’s fiancée, so I had to wonder…”
“I’m sorry I made you feel that way. I had been going through a weird time in my life, you know? Breaking my leg, finding out I need surgery on my sinuses, possibly having to change careers…”
“It’s totally understandable, Danielle. I still feel bad that I pushed you to make a decision before you were ready,” Aris apologized.
“And I’m sorry I was so closed off to everything at first,” Noah confessed. “It took me a while to really embrace that this is who I am, and that I need and want two partners. Hell, it took me a while to convince myself I needed or wanted one partner!”
We all chuckled. Noah ran his hand along my stomach while Aris played with my hair. I loved having both of them. They were the perfect complement to me, and they took such great care of me. But now…now would be the greatest test of our relationship. Even though we had already overcome so much… there was a new challenge for us to face. Hopefully together.
I swallowed hard before finally blurting out, “Well, I wanted to tell you guys something important tonight. Something that may change the trajectory of our lives forever.”
“You made a decision about your career?” Aris guessed, his eyebrows arched.
“Well…sort of…”
“Don’t hold us in suspense,” Noah said.
I took a deep breath and went for it. “Well, it’s just that I… I kind of just got cast in a new role.”
“A new role?”
“We all did, actually.”
Noah jerked up. “What do you mean, Dani?”
“Well…”
Aris looked at Noah, and Noah looked at Aris as I scooted up on the bed and put a little space between me and them. I needed to be able to see their faces.
“Dani, just tell us! What role?” Noah demanded. He did not like being in the dark about anything. Or having to wait for anything.
I smiled and took Aris’s hand in my left hand and Noah’s hand in my right. “I’ve just been offered the role of Mother.”
“Who’s mother?” Aris asked excitedly. “Is this for the summer drama camp?”
Noah shook his head, and then his eyes began to widen. He reached over to put his other hand on my stomach. “Are you saying what I think you’re saying?”
“Um, yeah, so…how do you guys feel about playing the role of Father?”
They looked at each other, both too stunned to speak.
“Yeah, I don’t know how it happened either…but I didn’t get my period this month, and the test was positive. No idea what’s in the script as far as the genetic situation is concerned…” A nervous smile curled my lips.
“Well, I love you,” Aris squeezed my hand and put his other hand on my belly, right on top of Noah’s, “so I know I’m going to love his new role too. And it doesn’t matter what ‘the genetic situation’ is.”
“Well, I love both of you, so count me in,” Noah agreed. “The three of us in the roles of parents? We’re gonna bring down the house.”
THE END
