chemistry and knew there was something about her. He loved watching you with her the way she enjoyed seeing you and him together. His heart is opening, just as hers is. I can feel it.”
He sighed and closed his eyes. He leaned his head back on the couch. “I like watching him take her, watching them kiss.”
“You’re going to be happy, darling.” She ran her hand over his heart. “Trust everything you’re feeling.”
“That’s how the Fey live. Isn’t it? Trusting their feelings in everything?” He opened his eyes to look at her.
“You have been paying attention. Yes, it is. Our feelings never steer us wrong. It seems strange to mortals, but intellectually we function differently too. We’re not more intelligent or even more evolved. We’re simply different.”
He tucked his cock back into his pants and zipped up again. “The ability to read minds probably makes it easier to trust your feelings, I’ll bet.”
She stood and gave him a playful smile before leaning over to kiss him. The kiss was sweet and lingering. “It certainly does.” She stared into his eyes for a moment. “Adam’s in for a treat when he gets home. Makes me wish I could stay.”
He smiled at his thoughts of making love to Adam, enjoying the erotic thrill of sharing the image and feelings with her. He walked her to the door and stood on the porch until her car disappeared into the woods. His thoughts no longer spun in his head in the same perplexing and out-of-control way. The night they’d met she’d told him that his life would never be the same again. He’d imagined he would stay with her forever, but then he’d met Adam. Heath had expected only friendship, but then he had found so much more. He remembered every time Mallory had told him that all things happen for a reason. Even a few missteps couldn’t stop what was meant to be. He knew he trusted his feelings more than he once did, but he still had problems with anxiety at times. Adam had a few concerns as well, but he never let anything get him down. He always stayed optimistic regardless of the circumstances.
Rose had changed a little after Adam had confirmed that the words Heath had uttered in his sleep were true. She’d watched him a little more and listened to him more carefully. He didn’t think he was imagining that. He went back inside, amazed at how sated he still felt. He’d never felt the same about oral sex since the first time Mallory had wrapped her full lips around his cock. He considered his relationship with her and how much he cared for her. The sex always amazed him, and she had always been a true friend who knew how to encourage and calm him. As important as she was to him, he wasn’t in love with her. Other men had wanted to be with him, but he’d never let another man touch him until Adam. Other women had tempted him, but he’d never wanted any woman the way he wanted Rose. Before her, he couldn’t have imagined sharing Adam with anyone else or falling in love with someone else while he was with Adam. How did it happen? How did caring for someone transition from one form of love to another? What did it mean? Mallory always said people meant to find each other would do so if they only opened up to the possibilities surrounding them. It was a beautiful way of looking at the world.
He heard Adam pull up and went back out to help with the groceries. He told him about Mallory coming over and their conversation.
Adam smiled when they got everything into the kitchen. “I thought you looked a little too satisfied. She couldn’t keep her mouth off me when I went to see her.” He pushed Heath against the fridge and kissed him with a deep hunger.
“Can’t blame her,” Heath said when their lips parted for a moment. He felt every part of his body respond to the kiss. He ran his hands into Adam’s hair. Their tongues wrestled against one another while Adam’s hands reached down to grip Heath’s ass.
“Don’t we need to put the groceries
