11. Greg

I loved my wife.
I also loved Hawk and Ashton.
Six years together, and the four of us had learned a few things about each other. After our winter escapades in a log cabin during a snowstorm, where the two of them had pretended to be lumberjacks, we discovered that we could take our kink scenes to new heights.
It took a lot of planning, a lot of work, a lot of pre-negotiations—but it was worth it.
We all had our needs.
Rosie and I loved being submissive. I, especially, loved being tied up and forced to watch her be fucked for hours.
Hawk was our Dom, yes, but he was a switch. And it was very rare that he entertained his submissive side. This scene had been a challenge for him, but we all trusted each other. If it had been too much—he would have stopped us.
Ash was the mastermind behind everything. Our game master, our Dom, the love of our lives. Our ridiculously handsome and sweet partner who always had a trick up his sleeve.
We all loved each other more than words could ever describe.
This had been the wildest experience any of us had ever had. I wasn't sure we'd ever be able to top it, although topping it was never the goal to begin with.
Role playing was hard at times. Staying in character and following all the pre-negotiations we’d set up was a challenge in itself.
But it was worth it.
Pretending to not know Hawk and Ash was always the hardest part, though. Seeing them on the beach and knowing Rosie was fighting the urge to run and jump into their arms had been fun.
Hell, everything about our vacation was fun.
I stretched out on the large beach towel, curling against Hawk. He kissed the top of my head, the scent of sunscreen floating on the summer breeze as Rosie straddled Ash to apply it on his tan skin.
“You're going to burn,” she said. “And if all of you burn, then I can't scratch you while we're in bed.”
The three of us chuckled, and none of us protested. It was the morning after our escape room adventure, and we'd slept in until a Hawk had dragged us out of the bed for coffee and food. A lot of food. In fact, I was pretty sure we'd horrified the hotel staff.
This part of the beach was private. There were screens up that allowed us to enjoy ourselves out in the open. It was well worth the money, because it meant we could have sex outside without anyone watching.
“I think this might be the best vacation yet,” Rosie announced.
That pleased all of us.
“I would agree.” Ash sighed happily.
“I, for one, really liked tying Greg up with Christmas lights,” Hawk chuckled. “But yes, this was the perfect escape. I wasn’t expecting to submit so much, though.”
“Did you like it?” Ash asked.
“Yes,” he said. “I just didn’t expect it.”
“You know, you aren’t any less of a Dom just because you are a switch,” Ash said. “And we all know Rosie and Greg still submit to you.”
Hawk smiled against the top of my head. “I know. You have a point. And I do like submitting occasionally, even if it feels strange at first. That part of me isn’t often brought to the surface or fulfilled, and while I just need to be a Dom most of the time, I need to remember it’s good for me to experience things as a sub too. ”
“Well, you have two subs at your disposal,” I said.
He kissed my head and then closed his eyes, smiling as he sprawled out further. Sunshine dappled our bodies as Rosie finished applying sunscreen to Ash.
“Okay,” she said. “So. We didn’t get a chance to ask how, and I need to know. How in the fuck did you pull that off? Ash, you were with us the entire time. Was there someone else?”
“We had a couple friends lend a hand,” Ash answered.
“The woman who checked us in is the wife of Freddie, who owns the escape room. Freddie is a professional femdom who also happens to have this place as a side project. So we had them set everything up to make it kinky. And of course, everything will be sanitized today, and it’ll go back to being a non-kinky, completely normal escape room. ”
“Do I even want to know how much that cost?” Rosie asked.
“Nope,” Ash and I said at the same time.
It’d cost a lot and had been damn worth it.
Plus, between the four of us, we were lucky enough to not have to worry when we splurged like this. Four incomes with no kids or pets meant we could book an entire venue to have unreasonably kinky sex for hours without interruption.
“I pre-recorded a lot of the game master’s commands with a distortion filter,” Ash said.
“Freddie’s wife, Amy, is a programmer. She was able to set up a system that mostly worked on its own.
Greg was tied up, but able to press a few buttons to activate certain things while he watched us.
Freddie and Amy did not see us having sex, but were on standby in case something went wrong.
All the video that was recorded was private and only went to us. ”
“Amazing,” Hawk said. “You really thought this one through.”
Ash smiled and lifted his head to look up at us. “I love you three a lot. And I’m glad you let me put you in precarious situations. I’m grateful for your trust.”
Rosie smiled and sprawled out on top of Ash’s back. She planted a kiss on his cheek. “We love you,” she said.
“We do,” I agreed.
“We do. Even when you’re kind of an ass of a Dom,” Hawk said.
We laughed. Ash beamed. “You know you like it,” he said.
“You’re so mean sometimes,” Rosie teased, peppering more kisses on his long hair. “For one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met.”
“It’s called balance,” he chuckled. His expression sobered for a moment, and he let out a long breath. “I needed the escape.”
“We all did,” Hawk murmured. “We’ve all been working too hard. But, it’ll be worth it soon.”
I nodded and turned my head, meeting Rosie’s gaze. She raised a brow. She knew me too damn well, a frown tugging at her lips.
It was time to tell them.
“I have a little announcement,” I said slowly.
Rosie quickly got off Ash, sitting cross-legged on the beach towel. Ash immediately turned over and sat up. Hawk did the same, the two of them focusing on us entirely.
My heart pounded a little faster. This had been a hard decision to make, but it was one I knew was right.
I’d been a neurosurgeon at my job for years and there’d never been a good time to move.
Since the four of us had been together, we’d been working to try and find times in the year we could be together.
Rosie and I lived together, Hawk and Ash lived tougher, and the four of us had made it work—with the dream that one day we’d all be together.
And now…
Now that dream was going to come true.
“I’ve been working at my hospital for over four years now,” I said slowly. “As you all know. And it’s put a huge strain on our relationship.”
Ash immediately shook his head. “It’s not a strain, Greg. We all knew that getting that position was important to you. And we’ve made it work.”
“We have,” Rosie said.
“Your job is important,” Hawk said. “And while there have been challenges for all of us, it’s never been something we haven’t found a way to make work.”
“I know,” I agreed. “And for that, I am grateful. But, I’ve been keeping an eye out for other positions that would put me closer to where Ash and Hawk live.
Rosie, with your job, you’re able to transition to any city.
And we’ve all talked in-depth about how we’d move closer if we ever had the chance.
Well, I received an opportunity that would put us just about an hour away. ”
“Oh my god,” Rosie squealed.
Hawk’s eyes lit up. “You found one?”
“I did,” I said, my throat tightening. “I didn’t want to say anything until I got confirmation, but I’ll be making the transition if it’s something we all want.”
“Do you want it?” Ash asked slowly. “Do you really want to change places? Uproot everything you’ve worked for?”
“Yes, I want it. This is what I’ve worked for,” I said. “ This right here. The three of you.”
“Oh Greg,” Rosie whispered, tears springing to her eyes. “Fuck. We’ve been waiting so long for this.”
“We have. Come here,” Ash murmured.
I went to him, only to be dragged into the middle of the three of them. Heat rushed to my cheeks, a soft laugh leaving me as Rosie peppered kisses on my face, Hawk squeezed me, and Ash planted more kisses on my shoulders.
I had the three best partners I could ever ask for. The love between us continued to grow and push us to new places.
“Does this mean this is the last time we’ll have a vacation like this?” Rosie whispered. “Where we haven’t seen each other in so long because we all work and live in different places?”
“Yes, my love,” I said. “That’s why I wanted it to be something special.”
Hawk sniffled. “I’m really happy right now.”
“Me too,” Rosie whispered.
“Me three,” Ash said, kissing me again. “Now I know why you asked me to go so extra on everything. I just thought it was for fun.”
“It was,” I chuckled. “But it was also because I wanted it to be a summer vacation we’d never forget.”
This vacation was the perfect escape, and now I was looking forward to a future with my perfect partners that burned brighter than the summer sun.
“This also means we’ll all be together this fall,” I said slowly.
I felt Rosie smile against me. “Oh? Interesting .”
“ Interesting , indeed,” Hawk said.
Ash smirked. “I’ll start making my evil plans now. It’ll be the perfect hunt.”
We couldn’t wait to find out exactly what he meant by that.
