walk, pretending to inspect the irises. Her parents were expecting her. It didn t matter that they both felt like strangers to her now. It didn t matter that her daddy hated her and she resented her mama for letting him. It didn t matter that she d just lived a dream only to realize her dream was bigger than she d thought and that she would never be happy with just one night with the men she loved. She loved them both. So much. The thought of getting on a plane later tonight made her physically ill, and it wasn t because she d be heading back to the big, bad city. She d finally realized after ten years of stupidity that it wasn t the where of things that mattered. Small town or bustling metropolis, the location was just a backdrop. Happiness was found in the people who surrounded you, who cared about you. Who loved you and who you loved in return. All she wanted was to be with the two men who had completed her in a way no one ever had, no matter where they were located in space. But that couldn t happen, or it wouldn t happen. Every awkward look and cramped silence in the forty-five minute 64 Claiming it All drive to Tavern had made that clear. Their one night was over and what she wanted didn t matter. Nothing mattered but putting one foot in front of the other until she reached that door, then one word in front of the other until she made it to the kitchen table, then one mouthful of food after the other until lunch was finished and she could call a cab to take her back to the airport. Her flight left at eight o clock and there was no reason to delay leaving. No one in this town really wanted her around. Tiffany, wait! Tiffany froze, certain she was hallucinating. Her ears were only hearing what they wanted to hear. There were no heavy steps running up the walk behind her, there was no low, hushed voice whispering for her to wait. She took another step. Tiff! Hold up! A different voice this time. It was Travis. He was really here. They both were. Aaron s hand closed gently around her wrist. Before she spun around to face them, Tiffany sent a silent prayer skittering through the spring flowers. Travis wanted to pull her into his arms and squeeze her. Hell, he wanted to wrap his arms around both Aaron and Tiff and hold them tight, let them both know he wasn t ever going to let them go. But he couldn t. Tiffany s parents could be watching from the window, neighbors out walking their dogs could be spying from the street. Until all three of them had agreed, they couldn t risk anything public. But soon enough. Maybe. Hopefully. If Tiffany really wanted both of them. They were just waiting on her. He and Aaron had already decided to wait to tell their own folks about their unconventional relationship until they found out just how 65 Anna J. Evans unconventional they were going to be. Were they gay? Or were they bisexual members of a threesome? Travis wasn t sure which would sound worse to his mama, but he knew which sounded best to him. He wanted Aaron and Tiffany and he wanted their future together to start right now. Tiffany, me and Aaron were talking and Yes! Tiffany laughed, but Trav could see the tears shining in her eyes before she leapt into Aaron s arms, hugging him tightly about the neck before she turned and hugged him in the same, fierce way. Travis chest felt like it was about to explode, but he laughed along with her as he hugged her tight, lifting her feet off the garden path. You don t even know what we were going to ask. Yes, she does, Aaron said, a smile on his face as he reached out to lay a hand on the back of Tiff s head. Her soft hair slid through his fingers, making Travis think of the way Aaron had shampooed the strands less than eight hours before. Damn, he wanted to be back in the shower with these two. He wanted to be anywhere that they could be alone and naked. You re easy to read, Travis. The question was all over your face. Yours too. Neither one of you could keep a secret to save your life, Tiffany said. I love you for it. We love you too, Travis said. So much. We never stopped. As soon as you got out of the car, we talked about it and& Aaron swallowed, and Travis could tell he was close to tearing up right along with the woman they loved. We never want to stop.
