    Summary

    Loud, heaving sobs like there is something feral inside him, beating at his chest; like wind is rattling through a hollow vessel; like someone has Henry in the palm of their hand and is squeezing, squeezing, squeezing until he cannot take the pressure.

    Everyone breaks eventually.

    “I hate this,” Henry says through his sobs. “I hate this so fucking much.”

    “I know, baby,” Alex whispers and when Henry looks up, he’s crying as well. “Me too.”

     

    ///

    Or: in the aftermath of taking their relationship public, Henry acquires a stalker.

    Summary

    “Too deep—too deep, I can’t—please.” Kevin throws his head into Jean’s shoulder.

    Jeremy quickly studies his face. “Jean, his eyes are watering. Maybe give him a break.”

    Jean drops any weight of Kevin’s he may have been holding, causing the other man to ragdoll into him. Kevin heaves, trembles, twitches as he’s stuffed full without support lifting him up.

    Tears stream down his cheeks; Jean licks one of the drops on his jaw. The salt hits like epinephrine, tastes like victory.

    “Remember,” Jean says, “one word and we end this. One word and it can be over. Do you wish to use it?”

    Kevin shakes his head.

    ———

    AKA: Kevin asks to bottom for the first time. His mistake is asking Jean, who has very different moral standards regarding Kevin.

    Summary

    Jeremy slips both hands under the legs of Kevin’s underwear. He massages the junction between Kevin’s thighs and pelvis, thumbs rubbing the base of his cock. “Mhmm. Look in the mirror and tell me you have pretty eyes.”

    “But—you didn’t say—“

    “You’re right. Jean says you have long eyelashes, and he says you have a pretty green color, and he’s obviously right but you don’t believe him. Say it like you mean it, and even if you don’t, you’re going to look me in the face and act like you do. Maybe if I force you to do that enough times, you’ll start to understand,” Jeremy explains. Kevin looks completely mortified, blushing so hard it burns against Jeremy’s temple. The back of his neck glows pink, chest rising and dropping fast with his breaths.

    They look at each other in the reflection, Jeremy giving an expectant brow raise.

    “You’re mean,” Kevin says.

    “I know.”

    Kevin sighs.

    ———

    AKA: Jeremy notices Kevin treating himself like he’s expendable in their relationship, so he forces Kevin to acknowledge his own worth. And he makes Kevin wear Jean’s jersey. Just for fun.

    Summary

    “You don’t have to be here for this,” Jeremy warns. “You can sit in the living room while I take care of him. It may take a few hours though, if you factor in knotting time.”

    “I am deeply confused.”

    “About what?”

    Kevin stares. “You let Jean knot you?”

    Jeremy frowns at him. “Yeah. Why wouldn’t I?”

    “You’re an alpha.”

    “So?”

    “Isn’t it—Doesn’t that…feel weird?” Kevin stutters out. He stands near the door looking ready to bolt. Fiddling with his hands, he’s awkward in a way Jeremy hasn’t seen from him before.

    ———

    AKA: Jean’s first rut after bringing Kevin into their relationship. Jean’s respect for Jeremy does not translate to how he treats Kevin.

    Summary

    Kevin remembers warning Jean off of men by using Jeremy’s story. He remembers killing his own attraction where it grew. He remembers staying awake at night, silently trying to carve the love out of him with Riko just a few feet away, asleep. He remembers using Thea in an attempt to fix himself.

    All of that was for nothing, because now Kevin is sitting between Jean and Jeremy, who are together. Sitting in front of Jean, and struggling to breathe normally with his body so close, radiating heat like a neutron star, a hand always moving back to Kevin’s hip. All of it was for nothing, because Jeremy is right there, so competent and strong and fucking kind. He won’t stop checking to make sure the ropes are comfortable, glancing up to smile every few moments like Kevin is even worthy of it.

    ———

    AKA: Jeremy and Jean practice their rope-tying on a visiting Kevin, who’s silently losing his fucking mind.
