that, and my money would be yours.” He stopped, and smiled. “Well, you’d probably have come up with some insane prenup, but I wouldn’t have signed it, so you’d have been out of luck. You’d be rich.” Evan stood up and took the two steps to stand in front of Dan. “I love you, Dan. You love me. We both love Jeff, and he loves us back. It’s not traditional, but that doesn’t mean it’s less. Right?” He made his face strong, challenging Dan to disagree. He’d thought this out on the way over, and he knew he’d found the way past Dan’s defenses. It was foolproof. Or at least he’d thought it was. Dan seemed to be trying pretty hard to find a loophole, though. Evan forced himself to wait quietly.
“It’s not less,” Dan finally said. “But….”
    “But nothing.” Evan smiled in what he hoped was a firm but kindly manner. “It’s our money, okay? Yours and mine and Jeff’s. And Jeff and I totally support your decision to spend some of our money on a member of our family. Okay?” He buckled one of his knees, let it shoot forward and jostle Dan’s. “Okay?” he asked again.
    “Evan—” Dan started to say, but then he stopped. He looked down at something… their knees? His feet? Evan wasn’t sure, but he didn’t really care, either, because when Dan looked back up, his face was calm. “Okay,” he said. “Yeah. Thank—”
“Nope!” Evan interrupted. “No thanks necessary. It’s no more than what you should expect.”
    Dan paused as if letting himself absorb that. Then he shook his head and smiled. “I was going to say, ‘Thank you for getting me one of our beers, when you go to our fridge to get one for yourself.’”
    Evan grinned. Dan could be stubborn, but he also had good common sense. And, Evan liked to think, he knew who to trust. “I see. I’ll get on that.” He leaned down and kissed Dan, and then leaned in a little further, letting their bodies connect. “Or maybe we could take a quick trip to our bedroom?”
    Dan pulled away, but Evan could tell he wasn’t going to stay away for long. “Too far,” Dan said. He grinned as he raised an eyebrow and cast his eyes sideways. “Our wall is a lot closer.”
    Fuck, yeah. Evan’s official story was that he worked out as a stress-reliever, but if he was being totally honest, he’d have to admit that this was why he worked out, so he could be strong enough to reach down and wrap his hands under Dan’s ass, lift him without excessive strain, and pin his body against the wall with his feet barely touching the floor. Most of the time, Dan was dominant and controlling in bed, but sometimes… sometimes he wasn’t. And Evan always wanted to be prepared for those times.
    He caught both of Dan’s wrists, lifted them over their heads, and left one of his own hands up there, pinning Dan’s wrists to the wall. His other hand roamed wherever it wanted to. Down over Dan’s chest, just brushing over the growing hardness beneath his fly, up across his ribs, then back down to slide under the fabric of his shirt. Dan had less body hair than Jeff, just a light dusting on his chest, and his skin was soft and warm. Sometimes, Evan would spend hours on that skin, tracing patterns, kissing and nipping and exploring, but that wasn’t what he was after right now.
He undid Dan’s fly, slipped his hand inside to find the hot skin of Dan’s swelling cock. “I’m going to fuck you,” he said in Dan’s ear.
    “Yeah, that’s the idea,” Dan agreed. He seemed totally blasé, and even though Evan knew it was an act, he still felt the challenge. The dare. He tugged at Dan’s jeans, his underwear, struggling to get the fabric out of the way, and he could feel Dan’s lips curve into a grin against his cheek. Evan shifted his head and kissed Dan, hard and demanding, and Dan’s lips curled again. He was happy to be getting to Evan, pleased to be the one who was still calm. Evan wrapped his hand around Dan’s cock, tight, and ran his thumb
