adoration. He needs it, so we provide it. Eventually he’ll realize how much we need him, too. Until then, we wait.”
Aiden sighed. “There is something he’s not telling us; something important he’s holding back. All my training and instincts are screaming at me about it. It’s not medical, but something else; something he probably feels we’ll condemn him for. We won’t, but we can’t pressure him into telling us. He’s got to learn to trust us on his own.”
“I know, I’ve been feeling the same way,” Jake said, Dream a Little Dream - 83
running a hand through his dark hair. “It’s just hard.”
“I know, love. But we’ll get through it. Now,” Aiden said, a mischievous look in his eyes. “Maybe I can help distract you from your troublesome thoughts, hmm?”
Jake raised a brow. “You got a treatment for me, Doc?”
“Yep,” Aiden said with a grin, running his hands down Jake’s chest. “It involves lube; lots and lots of lube…”

Cael could hear them talking in low tones, but it was too distorted to actually make out. He figured they were talking about him, though.
God, he was such an idiot, freaking out on them the way he did. They’d been so nice, giving him a birthday cake and even presents. The others never gave him stuff for his birthday. They didn’t care. No one cared about one miserable orphan in foster care; no one but Jake and Aiden.
And what had he done? Practically accused them of having ulterior motives.
Stupid, stupid boy. Bad, stupid boy. He should just be happy with what he had now, before it was gone. The dreams would make them go away, ’cause they wouldn’t believe him. The dreams would make them mean. The dreams always did.
Cael didn’t want to believe that about Aiden and Jake, but he hadn’t wanted to believe that about Sam either.

And look how that turned out.
He shuddered, pushing those bad thoughts away. He wouldn’t think about Sam or the things he had made Cael do; the things about Sam he had seen.
But Aiden and Jake wanted him. The dreams said so.
What they didn’t say is if they would still want him when they found out about the dreams, and they would eventually. They always did.
Cael froze when he heard a moan come from the other room.
Oh, they were doing it again. Cael heard them since the first night he had come to stay in their house, listening to them as they loved each other. He shouldn’t listen, he knew, but he just couldn’t stop. He wanted them so much. They made such beautiful sounds.
Jake moaned again, and Cael shivered. He knew it was Jake; his moans were deep and long. Aiden’s were higher pitched and more breathy. So different, yet so wonderful. The sounds of them being together; they always made him achy and hard.
He let his hand drift down his chest and stomach, ’til it reached where he throbbed with want. Wrapping his hand around the straining shaft, he whimpered softly. He shouldn’t be doing this; it was bad…so very bad, but he couldn’t stop. The sounds always did this to him.
Cael imagined that he was in their bed with them, letting them love on him and touch him; just like they did to each other when they didn’t know that he was there.

Gasping, he pulled harder. Listening to the delicious sounds they made.
It felt so good; so dirty, but so very good.
He’d wanted Aiden to kiss him so bad earlier. He could almost feel the press of those warm, soft lips on his; he’d gotten hard so fast he hurt. Then he’d looked up and seen Jake looking kind of mad, and pushed down the want. Maybe it was going to take Jake more time to want him; that was okay. He’d be patient. He’d wait until Jake wanted him, too.
He just wanted them both so bad. They were both so big and strong. He wanted to feel them inside him, one then the other, maybe both at the same time. Feeling them move together, so much pleasure. A circle of desire; a fire that would consume
