us. “I was thinking, maybe Azariah could have it.”
My head lifted in surprise while Stavros let out a thoughtful, “Hmm.”
“You’re okay with him living here? Like permanently?”
“I mean, he’s proved himself enough. Don’t you think?” Zach released my hand to scratch Stav’s beard. “If he had any ulterior motives, he would have just let you leave, right? But he brought you back to us. He’s strengthened our defenses, and helped bring the people around to accepting you. It’s not much of a bedroom, but I feel we ought to offer him something.”
“That’s sweet of you.” Stavros wrapped tighter around him, tilting his face in for a kiss. “But after what he did, you’re okay with him being so close to us?”
“It’s not like he coerced me or anything,” Zach huffed, a blush rising in his cheeks. “I was an equal participant in that, even if I wasn’t thinking about all the consequences at the time.”
“There’s something else we need to consider,” I piped up hesitantly.
“Yeah, babe?” Stavros turned his head, brushing a kiss along my horns.
I shivered at the sensation, smiling into his shoulder. “In order to be at full-strength for this fight, I’ll need to feed on Azariah.”
“Oh.”
“Oh!”
Both of my men’s eyes widened at the implication of what that meant.
“It doesn’t have to be sex, but,” my fingers curled into Stavros' shirt, “for best results, it probably should be.”
“Do you want to, y’know, be with him? Like that?”
Stavros and I chuckled at the innocent question from Zach.
“I like him more now than before,” I admitted. “He’s an angel, so of course he’s attractive, and sex with his kind is on a completely other level. I mean—” I bit my lip at the twinge of hurt on Zach’s face. “—feeding-wise, he can power me to full strength and not be drained himself. And he can feed on me in the same way. It’s just because our species are so similar. Does this mean I want to make him my boyfriend?” I shook my head. “Not if my three don’t want that.”
They didn’t even blink at me including Kais with them. In all honesty, they never had. Kais wasn’t interested in a cuddle pile with two other men, but he was just as much a part of this love-rectangle.
Zach was blushing madly after I said my piece and looked extremely conflicted about saying something. He tasted curious and a little embarrassed.
“Spit it out, Z.” Stavros kissed the side of his face, playfully biting the red apple of his cheek.
“Just, um.” His blush deepened more, eyes downcast shyly. “Like, I love you two so much and I’m not saying this isn’t enough for me, but—”
“Oh my God!” I sat straight up in bed, finally pinpointing the source of his feelings. “You still want to fuck Az.”
“I mean, I’m just curious, okay? You keep saying being with angels is like this divine, holy experience, and I—”
“Sweet, beautiful, man.” I leaned over Stav to kiss him, only for Stav to grab my ass with a hungry growl as he watched us. “You’re allowed to be curious about anything you want. And if that’s something you really want to do, well...” I looked down at Stav, awaiting his input.
“I’m fine with it,” he said with a shrug. “But it’s Zach's decision, and he should be the one to approach him,” he added with a protective growl.
“But what if he turns me down?” Zach pouted.
“Welcome to having a sex life,” Stavros laughed, pulling him closer. “Sometimes, you get rejected. Although I don’t think Az would.”
“He wants you just as badly.” I nodded my agreement. “I mean granted, he wants to fuck almost everyone, but you’d be his first choice.”
“Hmm, I dunno about that.” Stavros slid a hand up my ribs, holding my breast with a light squeeze. “I’d say he wants you both equally. He just thought he could have Zach.”
“I dunno if I’ll actually pursue anything,” Zach said. “Some things are just meant to stay fantasies, right?” He flopped back down onto Stav’s chest, grabbing my other breast with a contented sigh. “I have everything I need right here.”
I smiled at him, soaking up the delicious flavors of love and fulfillment coating all three of us. “If the urge ever strikes you, just know you have our blessing.”
“And if you want to make him your boyfriend too,” Zach looked at Stav, who nodded, “I get that it’s completely different than being with a human. So, I’d be okay with it.” His grin turned devilish. “If
