Chapter 18
Bo
Iadored Ollie for how excited he was about the movie night with Kaspar.
“I asked what pizza to get for him, and he told me his favourite flavour and then tried to talk me out of ordering it.”
“He did? That’s strange.” I tilted my head as I got a stack of napkins from a drawer.
My husband looked upset.
“He said it was too fancy and expensive and just to get any other topping for him.”
“Oh.” I crossed the kitchen and pulled him into a hug. He’d been the same when we met. Believing he had to tone himself down, that he didn’t have any right to ask for what he really wanted. Feeding off the scraps. Always putting himself last.
He saw that in Kaspar, I was sure of it.
“Thank goodness our paths crossed,” I whispered and rubbed my cheek over his hair.
“Yes, Bo. So am I. I’m still scared you’re doing this for me, though.”
“Do you think I will resent you for this, ?lskling?”
“No.” His voice cracked.
Oh my sweet man.
“Oliver, look at me.” He raised his face, tears glinting on his cheeks. “I love you. You are the other half of my heart, and I trust you, Oliver Bright-Persson.” I pecked him on the lips. “I don’t take my job of making sure we remain healthy and happy lightly. Both of us. Do you understand?”
He nodded.
“If I didn’t like the idea or wasn’t interested, or worse, if I feared for our relationship, I would tell you. You are my confidante. I share everything with you. And I know it’s the same for you.”
“It is. You are my mate.”
“Exactly. And for reasons I don’t understand yet, I love sharing you, not with just anyone, but with him. It turns me on to see his hands on your body and your cock inside him. Just like it turns you on to see him with me.”
“God, yes. It does.”
“We have enough love between us to shower him with affection and not to take any of it away from each other. And we have enough space and money and time to do so.”
Ollie hugged me tightly.
“That’s exactly how I feel. I just want to be all cute and shit and care for him the way I do for you. And God, darling. I want him to know what it means to be taken care of by you. Being loved by you is the most wonderful feeling in the world.”
“Oh, ?lskling. I feel the same way about you.” I placed a soft kiss on his lips. “And perhaps he will feel like that one day. Let’s just take this one date at a time.”
