to the kitchen to clean up. A moment later, he returned to Brianna. Leo spun her to face him. They made a gorgeous couple. Brianna’s smooth curves and definition, and Leo’s angular and chiseled muscles. They fit together. Like two sides of a triangle… or a perfect pair.
As Leo’s hand brushed her cheek, Garrett felt his first pang of jealousy as he heard Leo say, “I do love you, Bri. I don’t want you to doubt that.”
It was odd to be both the husband and the one out of the loop. Brianna and he had wanted sex with his best friend. Somewhere along the way, they’d both fallen in love with him. Being lifestyle poly wasn’t something he’d ever considered. He’d always believed in the nuclear family: 2.3 kids, a couple of dogs, maybe a fish. He and Brianna had been trying for months to get pregnant. And then she had this hare-brained idea to become a long-term threesome. He’d give Brianna whatever she wanted, whatever made her happy, but he was beginning to realize that unless it was what Leo wanted, he couldn’t give her this.
Leo brought a nearly spineless Brianna over to the other side of the couch and they both curled up together, Leo’s strong arms, ones that had held Garrett not too long ago, around Bri’s shoulders. She tucked her head into the crook of his shoulder, her petite body molding itself against Leo.
Both of them looked relaxed as they turned the TV on.
Garrett went back into the bedroom and quickly got dressed. He honestly hadn’t thought Leo could go for more than a week with them. He’d known that he could convince him of that much. But now, he was starting to develop feelings for Brianna. Even Garrett could see that. How could anyone not love her? He should be happy that this… whatever it was, had become something more.
He just needed to take a walk. Relax and think straight. Not let these emotions rule him. The other two deserved better than him being jealous for no reason. And if he just had the chance to think, he probably wouldn’t see it in a bad light anyway. The two people he loved most in the world were falling in love with each other too. This was supposed to be a good thing. But all he could see when he closed his eyes was Brianna curled up against the anchor tattoo on Leo’s chest, and he wasn’t quite sure of which one he was jealous.
Chapter Nine
Leo flipped through the channels while Brianna snoozed, the soft glow of the Christmas lights on the tree reflecting against her soft skin in multicolor. His fingers traced lazy circles over her naked body, dropping her into a deep, relaxed sleep. He’d covered them both with a blanket a while back, the throw that had been draped over the back of the couch.
How was it she’d trapped him so effortlessly? He’d never allowed a woman get close to him, not when he’d carried the torch for his best friend all his life. But Bri was different. She accepted him. She accepted Garrett. She wanted them both. He found himself wondering what he’d done right in his life to get her.
But he hadn’t gotten her. Not really. Garrett had. He had her for now, and it felt good to have her against him, but eventually, he’d have to let them both go.
She whimpered quietly in her sleep, as if she knew he was beginning to doubt again, and pressed closer to him, wrapping her arm around his torso. He glanced down at her, and gently brushed her hair from her face.
“Do you really love her?”
Garrett sat down on the other couch, close to the edge. Leo hadn’t realized he was there at all, but then again, it had just been him and Bri for a while now. He wasn’t sure where Garrett had gone. He was dressed warmly, a black turtleneck and blue jeans. His boots were a little wet, so he guessed that Garrett had been outside. Yet, he didn’t know when he’d left or why. Garrett leaned forward, balancing his elbows on his knees, watching his wife sleep.
The smell of snow and Garrett’s aftershave filled Leo’s lungs. The
