“All will be revealed tonight,” he said mysteriously.
More than you know, my sweet Alex.

Ryan left the coffee shop an hour later with a plan. First, he needed to take a look at some eBooks, well, at least skim through them anyway to see how everything worked. He settled back at his computer, reading some of the eBooks Alex had recommended. They were like a how-to guide on threesomes with a bit of spice thrown in for good measure. And boy did it give him some ideas. Actually, his cock was ramrod stiff after reading the last one. Now more than ever he knew what was missing from his relationship with Tyler. They needed Alex to complete them. She would be the yin to their yang. They both admitted to each other at the start of their relationship that they were bisexual, but their love and commitment to each other had fulfilled them. As the years passed, though, their needs and the desire for a woman resurfaced, hence their mutual attraction to Alex.

The unscratched itch for that missing piece had blossomed to a point where Tyler had nearly betrayed him with his physical attraction to Alex. He, on the other hand, had been having an emotional affair with Alex for the past few months at least, and if he was honest with himself, maybe longer. He needed that female element in his life and had forsaken Tyler to some degrees to have it. The two books he had read so far were about permanent threesomes, lifelong triads. The thought hit him as he was reading. Heterosexuals needed another person of the opposite sex, homosexuals needed another person of the same sex, and bisexuals need one of each sex, obviously resulting in three-person relationships. It was the only way everyone could be fulfilled in lifelong commitments, as complete sets.

That realization freed him. It gave him the permission he needed to pursue this triad partnership. It was so simple he’d no idea why he hadn’t see it earlier. Shaking his head, he continued reading the current chapter. The characters were engaged in a daisy chain, and the images in his head of him in the middle of Tyler and Alex made him consider a trip to the bedroom to grab some lube and jack off. It would be the ultimate sexual experience to be sandwiched between your lovers, his cock deep inside Alex and Tyler’s cock buried deep in his ass. Groaning, he had to get up and stop reading for a while or he’d come in his pants. He needed to get his plan together. Firstly, though, he needed Tyler onboard, because he knew he’d have a really good chance of getting Alex if he had Tyler.

* * * *

Tyler walked through the door, the guilt over kissing Alex still haunting him. He hadn’t seen Ryan all day, and he was dreading the coming confrontation. The smell of his favorite dinner, roast beef, hit him, and his mouth watered as his mind screamed a warning. This was either really good or really bad. There was no in-between.

“Good, Tyler, you’re home. Dinner should be ready in an hour. We need to have a talk,” Ryan said.

“I know, Ryan. I need to tell you again how sorry I am,” he pleaded.

“Okay, I want to talk, and I don’t want you to interrupt until I’ve finished,” Ryan stated.

“Sure, okay.” This was going to be bad.

“I felt so betrayed when you told me this morning that you kissed someone else, my heart ached at the thought of losing you. I know it took a lot for you to admit what you did, and I thank you for that and also for your honesty at how you were feeling. I want you to tell me about Alex.”

“I’m so sorry I hurt you. Ry, you know how much I love you, I tried to hold back, God how I tried, but she is so…” Tyler said with tears in his eyes.

Bingo! Ryan thought.
She
, he’d just said. He already knew from his meeting with Alex, but he just needed confirmation from Tyler. It was just too unbelievable to be true, but here it was. It was true all right.

“Before we get further into this conversation, there’s something I need to admit to you,” he said, moving closer to Tyler. “After your confession, I messaged Amazon Pixy. I was so upset that my keyboard skills were not up to par, so we decided to meet for coffee. We had coffee, and I invited her to dinner tonight to meet you,” he stated.

“What, you met her!” He knew the second he heard his own voice that he was accusing Ryan of something that he himself had just done. He had no right to place demands on Ryan after his betrayal.

“Yes, Ty, I did, and she’s gorgeous,” he replied.

“Are you doing this to get back at me? Is this my punishment?” Tyler asked. He was scared. Ryan seemed so attracted to her, and he’d become so close to her. Maybe he would leave him for her.

“How would inviting her to dinner be a punishment to you? I just wanted her to meet you, considering she knows so much about you. Putting a face to the name would make our conversations easier,” he replied. “Besides how could your punishment be me talking about how sexy a woman is? I thought until just now it was another guy you kissed, because all you told me this morning was you kissed Alex.”

“My God, I’m so sorry, Ry. I didn’t explain, her name is actually Alexis. She uses Alex for short,” he stated, wincing as he realized what Ryan must have thought.

“Now, to the real point of this discussion. When were you going to tell me you needed a woman?” Ryan asked.

“It’s not that I need one. It’s just you know…You must feel it sometimes,” he muttered.

“Missing the feeling of breasts molding in your hands, a dripping pussy wrapped around your cock, the sound of feminine moans and groans. Yes, Tyler, I know.”

“Shit, you do get it!” He sighed, releasing the last of his frustration. “Maybe we can work on it together, like having AA meetings together. I don’t want to lose you, Ryan. I love you. I couldn’t imagine life without you,”

“I really needed to hear that, Ty. I love you, too, and I couldn’t imagine life without you either. I want you to remember no matter what, we’re together.” This was the critical point. This would either make or break his idea for their future. “But I’m not sure AA meetings are going to solve our need for a woman. After meeting Amazon Pixy today, I found some eBooks about ménage relationships with two men and one woman.”

“What, threesomes?” Tyler replied.

“Yes.”

“You want to have a threesome with Amazon Pixy?” he asked with dread. “Do you love her?” he asked.

“Tyler, you need to deal with your jealousy, just like I have to. I didn’t ask her to have a threesome. She doesn’t even know that I would consider it. She thinks I’m gay, not bi.”

“But you’re interested in her if she’d go for it. You’d like to have a threesome with her?” Tyler asked.

“I’m not going to lie to you. If we really wanted to consider this arrangement, we have to be fully honest with each other at all times. Yes, I am interested in her. She’s gorgeous inside and out. But she has the hots for some guy at work, and until that’s resolved, there’s no chance of her considering any other options.”

“I don’t know whether to be happy or sad about that. I will be honest with you, I’m not sure I’d be happy with her even if she’s as hot as you say she is. I mean, you have this emotional relationship with her. You’ve been talking to her for months. So you both will be really comfortable with each other, and I would be like a third wheel,” Tyler said.

* * * *

“You’re right. I can see that being a big problem. If only you could’ve had a relationship with her before as well. Oh well, let’s just see how it goes and enjoy a good dinner with a new friend.” Ryan turned back to the stove, trying to suppress a chuckle. He was really enjoying this game, but he also hoped it didn’t backfire on him.

“I don’t think we should rush into this threesome idea. I need time to sort it out in my head,” Tyler said with a worried expression.

“But you are open to the idea, aren’t you?” Ryan questioned.

“As long as I don’t lose you, then yes, I am open. I just don’t want you to get your hopes up on some fantasy. Life isn’t always like what you read in books. It would be a pretty remarkable woman who would be able to accept a relationship with the two of us together, let alone the fact that we love each other in every way possible.”

“I know finding someone who could handle that would be amazing and very rare. If we found her and both fell for her, we should grab hold and hang on, for as long as it lasts.” He wanted to cement into Tyler’s brain that once Alex was revealed he was committed and so should Tyler be, too. “Now, go have a shower and get changed. This is a casual dinner.”

“Fine, slave driver. I love you, Ry” Tyler wrapped his arms round him and held tight. They both needed the physical contact after the day they’d had. And hopefully before the evening was over it was only going to get more interesting.

“Love you, too, babe.” He pulled back a fraction and kissed him hard and fast, showing all the pent-up emotions he had suffered throughout the morning. Their tongues dueled, and he felt Tyler’s cock harden and rub against his. “Off with you before our guest arrives,” Ryan said as he smacked Tyler’s ass in a playful swat.

“You could always join me,” Tyler drawled.

“Not this time, lover boy. My roast will burn,” he replied.

Ryan hummed to himself as he continued cooking. The conversation with Tyler had gone better than he had expected. Everyone was open to the idea, and now all that needed to happen was for the players to be put into their positions and the game could begin. The doorbell rang with perfect timing. Tyler was still in the shower, so this would give him a chance to talk to Alex and let her relax a little before the star-struck lovers of last night reconnected.

“Welcome to my humble abode, my lady,” he said, using his best English gentleman’s accent.

“Why thank you, sir,” she replied, and they both laughed.

* * * *

Alex walked into their impressive apartment. Her apartment would fit in their entry alone. Well, maybe hers was a bit bigger, but it didn’t feel like it. The massive glass windows looking out over the city, the huge open plan rooms with vaulted ceilings, and the beautiful furnishings all gave the impression of wealth and intimidating power.

“Big Red, you scoundrel, your description of your apartment gave me the image of some shack, not this.”

“Well, Pixy, I didn’t want you to have high expectation and be disappointed,” he replied with a rakish grin.

“Well, you succeeded in giving me expectations anyway. So where is the cheating rat?” she questioned.

“No, no, no…my fiery one. We had a discussion this evening, and it was very enlightening. There were misunderstandings all round. We have resolved a lot, so please have an open mind.”

“Fine, I’ll sheath my claws until they’re required. Now, how about a drink, good sir? I’m parched,” she said, restarting their banter.

“A drink ye wench requests, then a drink ye wench shall have,” he replied as he led her, laughing, into the kitchen for a glass of white wine and to check on how dinner was coming along.

* * * *

Tyler heard laughter echoing from the kitchen, and it was official. He was jealous. But he owed it to Ryan to be a good sport, especially after what he had done with Alex. The closer he got to the kitchen and the more he listened to them, something in that laughing voice sounded familiar. He turned the corner, and all the air left his lungs. This couldn’t be happening. This had to be some fantasy. Maybe he’d fallen over in the shower and knocked his head, and this was a hallucination.

“Ah…Tyler, I’d like you to meet my Amazon Pixy, also known as Alexis,” Ryan said.

* * * *

Alex turned around with a smile, ready to meet Ryan’s partner, his name not even registering. “Shit!” Alex squealed. She turned back to Ryan and then back again to Tyler. She couldn’t believe it. Turning once again back to Ryan, she had to tell him that her Mr. Hottie was standing right behind her. Most of all, she had to tell him that Mr. Hottie was actually his partner, Tyler. How on earth could this have happened? “Ryan, I have no idea what to say to you right now, but I need to tell you something, and you’re going to hate me,” she said, stunned.
