ever have to ask [Seth’s POV]-1
One week later…
Seth groaned as his back arched, stretching enough to wake himself on but not enough to disturb Cassie, who was sleeping beside him. “Morning, baby, Seth said thingh his stretch, letting his eyes focus on Ethan hopping on one foot with a toothbrush in his mouth as he tried to put a shoe on
Finally managing to ship his foot in. Ethan shot a quick guin to Sothad darted to the bathroom. The sound of spit and the faucet running was followed quickly by fast moving steps as Ethan exited the bathroom and darted towards Seth to steal a quick goodbye
“Don’t go to class today, Seth whispered against Ethan’s mouth. He ached his hand up and wiped the residual toothpaste that had accumulated in the corner of his mouth. He popped his finger into his mouth and let out an appreciative grunt. “Mm, minty.”
Ethan rolled his eyes and turned to leave, but Seth’s hand darted out to stop him. “Ethan.”
beth, leant. I’m teaching
today”
“You always teach and since you aren’t getting paid to do your teachers job I’m thinking you can ditch.”
Ethan shrugged and adjusted the strap of his brown leather bag over his shoulder. It’s an amazing teaching experience to have to explain how things work. I’m learning at the same time, Ethan paused and raised an eyebrow as he gestured towards Cassie. “Bither one of you have anything to do today. No classes, no gym, co work… spend the day together.”
Seth exhaled slowly and glanced over at the sleeping woman who helped make this last week the most healing, pleasurable week of his life. I don’t know if that’s such a good idea. We agreed to go slow about things. Remember?”
The frown furrowing Ethan’s brow and the worry etched in his eyes as he glanced back and forth between Seth and Cassie showed. “Are you afraid to be alone with her?”
Seth swallowed. “I mean, yes–well, no, not really. You’re always with us, It’s you and me, and then it’s you and her, but not me and her. Ya know? Besides, I think it’s more her than me though. Whos afraid, I mean.”
Taking a seat so that the curve of his back rested against Soth’s hips Ethan gave Seth a deep, contemplating look. “Okay, I know theres a virtually self–educated man in there somewhere, so I won’t poke fun at how you put that,”
Seth snorted and gave Ethan a proper elbow to the side. “You just did

Seth sported loudly, but quickly covered his mouth with his hand and glanced worriedly ava
over at her. In a lower, hushed tone, he responded, “Care to enlighten the other man in this relationship ther? I’m grasping at straws here. Ever since that night, I feel like I’m doing everything wrong. I’ve felt clumsy and inept around her.”
Ethan gave a mock gasju. “Inept? You? Never!”
“I’m serious, Ethan.”
Ethan sobered and nodded in understanding. “She’s afraid of you”
Seth’s mouth dropped open. Of all the things, that hadn’t been what he’d been expecting. He sat up, letting his hack muscles hold him in place. What the hell for

“How could I ever forget, Seth mumbled,
“She doesn’t want to hurt you
Seth let out a soft snort. “I seriously doubt she has enough muscle to do that. I mean look at these babies,” he said, flexing his biceps.
Ethan sighed. “Not physically, mentally, you’re an idiot and why is it always that just when I forget what I see in you, you show me
the very reason why I lust after you.”
Seth raised a dark eyebrow. “Are you saying you don’t love me for my brain?”
Ethan considered before offering a smile. “Well, there is that too. How often do o you find physical and mental perfection in someone? But enough of that, we don’t need you getting an even bigger head
Seth glanced down a
at the tent forming beneath the blanket. “Too late. You’re not gonna really leave me like this are you?”
Ethan tilted his head towards Cassie. A perk of being in a relationship with two people… when one’s busy the other one is there to please.”
Seth sat up straighter. “So, when I go to the gym you guys are
“I assumed you knew. We’re still not having actual i
intercourse, but yes.” Ethan frowned, biting his bottom lip. “Are you okay with
that?
Seth rubbed the back of his neck. “Why wouldn’t I be okay with that? I mean, thinking about it, it’s pretty fuckin‘ hot. You know I like to watch.” Seth cast his gaze briefly over Cassie’s sleeping form. So I guess I have some catching up to do,” he said.
The corner of Ethan’s mouth lifted slowly and he nodded as he stood up. “Have fun,” he said but paused before exiting the bedroom. He exhaled and shook his head, 1 think we need to invest in a cam.
I told you it was hot! A cam? Like a spy–cam? I’m down with that. I could jerk off to you two any day.”
Ethan chuckled. “We’ll talk about it tonight. I love you!”

When the door was shut, signaling Ethan’s departure, I fell back into bed, twisted my head to the side, settled my check against the rooting pillow, and watched Cassie sleep. Aside from her not willing to touch me and the giant invisible claphant in the room I

Turning fully to my side to face her, I leaned forward and slowly placed a gentle, chaste kiss against her lips. I kissed the corner of her mouth and then worked my way up to the curve of her jaw, only stopping just below her earlobe when she shifted away.
I pulled back and met her doe eyes just as her lashes were thattering open. “Morning.” I whispered, settling hack on my side.
She looked at me warly but quickly offered a smile to cover up that shifting unease that had become too common. ‘Good morning. she said. “Did Ethan leave already?”

She stiffened, pulling from my seeking fingers which hadn’t left her face when I’d settled back on my side, and I cringed internally. Id meant for it to be comfortable ease into the much–needed conversation, but subtlety had never been my forte.

Cassie scoffed and rolled her eyes. “I touch you.”
“When I grab your hands and make you, but you don’t initiate it. At last, not since that night in the car when I told you- The hoarse strain in my voice forced me to cut off. I cleared my throat and continued, “I don’t know you as well as Ethan. I mean, with that type of life–long history you two share I’ll never expect to, but have known you for three years now. I didn’t realize the one thing I’d miss most was you being willing to touch me.
Her cornflower–blue eyes softened and I watched as her hand moved up towards my face, but paused just shy of making contact. “‘I Touch you she whispered.
“Are you afraid of hurting me?”
Cassie took her hand away from my face and it was clear that she wasn’t confused like I had been when Ethan had brought it up. She knew I meant emotional hurt and the minute I’d asked the question she averted her gaze. I reached my hand forward to gently clutch her chin and lift her head back up,
“Cassie, don’t be afraid of hurting me emotionally. I’m a big boy. I can take care of myself.”
She let me half a tiny smile, but it was gone before I could enjoy the way she would crinkle her nose at the same time.
You’ve been hurt so much… she started before trailing off.
+Su have you,

She tilted her head, her brows furrowing as she thought about it, but within seconds she started to slowly nod. “Can I touch you?
My brain may have stilled on pause, but my body was fully functional without it, I reached for her, cupping the back of her head as hauled her across the bed and closer to me. Settling on my back, my other hand now free, I let my fingers tangle in her disheveled morning hair as I pulled her on top of my bare chest. “You never have to ask me that,”
