then, like someone striking an anvil right on his head. It was Aiden’s problem, not Cael’s. Aiden was always thinking about Cael as a kid, or just a boy, when in actuality, he was plenty old enough to make his own decisions and be held accountable for them. Sure, some may look at them funny, but Aiden had never cared what people thought about him. Being gay was already a big enough issue with some; being part of a triad would just be one more thing for someone to complain about. Who was he to deny someone as sweet and wonderful as Cael the love and friendship he and Jake could bring; shit, who was he to deny himself?
Besides, his mother would adore another son to spoil when she came down to see him, and it meant his brother could steal Jake more often to work on the cars Dream a Little Dream - 113
in the garage without him noticing. Jake’s parents were estranged, Cael’s had passed away, and Aiden's hippie family had never been anything but supportive. Hell, he wasn’t even the only homosexual in the family. His sister, Anna, and her partner, Jill, had four kids together and another on the way; adding one more son-in-law wasn’t going to be a problem. Like his mom always said, “Male, female, it doesn’t matter who you’re in love with, as long as you love them with all your heart.”
Aiden grinned. He couldn’t wait to call his family and tell them the great news.
He jumped when a pair of arms wrapped around his waist and a warm chest rubbed against his back.
“You’re going burn the eggs, baby. What you thinking about so damn hard?” Jake asked, his deep voice rumbling through Aiden’s back and into his chest, making Aiden’s nipples hard.
“Nothing,” Aiden replied, quickly grabbing the forgotten spatula and stirring the slightly overcooked eggs. “Just came to a conclusion.” He glanced over his shoulder with a smile.
“Yeah?” Jake asked, quirking a brow. “And?”
Aiden set the pan of eggs on a cool burner and turned in Jake’s arms to face him. Aiden grinned. “Yeah. The three of us are going have a great life.”
Jake returned Aiden’s grin with one of his own, splashing his perfect smile. “Damn straight, baby,” Jake laughed, leaning forward for a kiss. “Mmm,” he moaned. “Bacon kisses, one of the best kinds.”

Aiden laughed. “I couldn’t help myself. It looked so yummy.”
“It is yummy,” a voice piped up, and Aiden looked over Jake’s shoulder at the table where Cael was sitting in what had become his chair, munching on a large piece of bacon.
“Hey!” Aiden scolded lightly. “No bacon for you until I get my morning kiss,” he huffed.
Cael blushed prettily as he got up, carrying the rest of the bacon in his hand. He leaned into Aiden’s chest, but right before Aiden’s lips touched his, he popped the rest of the bacon into his mouth and planted a big, bacon flavored kiss on Aiden’s grinning mouth.
“Little shit.” Aiden laughed as he swooped back in for a deeper kiss, sweeping away every trace of bacon he could find in his little love’s mouth. He swallowed Cael’s giggle turned moan before nipping at the tempting, full bottom lip as he pulled away. Cael smiled, sighing softly.
“Come sit, you two, before your breakfast gets cold,”
Jake interrupted, shaking his head with a smile.
“Honestly.”
Aiden swatted the back of Jake’s head as he passed, and Cael sat down in a chair quickly.
“Sorry,” he mumbled, face completely on fire.
“Hey,” Jake said, reaching over and placing a gentle Dream a Little Dream - 115
hand on Cael’s arm. “I’m not mad, sweetheart, just kidding around. No worries.”
Cael studied his face for a minute and then smiled softly. “Okay.”
Aiden chuckled. “It’s actually because Jake becomes a bear when there’s food on the table and he wants to eat.
After all the exercise I heard you both doing upstairs, he’s got to be starving.” Aiden laughed louder when Jake
