«She's not much more comfortable with that side of herself than I am,» Richard said.
«I know,» Nathaniel said.
«Did she agree to do it?»
«Not yet.»
«Are you going to leave her if she doesn't come across with it?»
Micah and I lay back between them, feeling superfluous.
«I've asked permission to have someone else abuse me, but save sex for Anita.»
Richard looked at me, finally, and I wished he hadn't. «You really know how to pick them, don't you?»
«What's that supposed to mean?» I asked, but it was hard trying to sound indignant naked in a bed with three men.
Richard laughed, a good, open laugh. He kissed me hard and fast. I lay there and frowned at him. «It means let's go to sleep.»
He settled on his side, facing me. I hesitated a second, then turned onto my other side. It started a chain reaction with Micah and Nathaniel following suit. It took us a while, but finally we were all settled. Richard's body spooned along the back of mine, Micah against me, and distant Nathaniel against him. My hand went over both of them, so I could still touch Nathaniel. Richard had the hardest time figuring out where to put his arm. He finally seemed to think, To hell with it , because he let his arm follow the line of mine, so he was both holding more of me and helping me hold the other two men. For sex, it would have been fun, but for sleeping, I thought I'd have trouble relaxing. But either it had been a long night, or the sensation of being held between Richard and Micah's body was more comforting than I realized. Nathaniel went to sleep first, as he always did. Micah and Richard went at almost the same time. Sleep wrapped over me, Richard's breath warm against my neck.
