The hum of sounds swirled around him in a gentle surrounding cloud. Matthew looked at the two very different young men curled up with him. Dark-haired and stormy-eyed Ash lying snugly in his lap while angel-haired and hazel-eyed Dylan curled up next to him.
Another man may have felt overwhelmed, but not Matthew. He felt a seed of fulfilment starting to grow within him. He knew that this evening may not come to anything but he believed in hoping for what you want and for the best. Going from having no Sub to the possibility of having two was a surprise though, but it wasn’t an unwelcome one.
He knew that he thrived on being needed, on being responsible for others, and it was something lacking in his life at present.
“Matthew,” he looked up and focused his eyes on Jack.
“I’m going to take this one home,” he looked down at Ianto calmly and contentedly settled in his lap.
Matthew smiled, it was good when it happened, when people worked things out and were happy. He watched as Jack managed to untangle the long limbed Welshman from himself. Ianto gave him a small grin as Jack led him out of the main room of the club.
He gently shook Dylan alert.
“Mmm,” the blonde wriggled, as if trying to get even closer, before looking up at him.
“It’s late, we should be leaving soon.”
“But I want to dance with you and with . . . “ he paused realising that he didn’t know the name of the dark-haired sub lying on the Dom’s lap.
“His name is Ash.”
A pair of grey eyes blinked open, and looked at the blonde.
“I’d like to dance,” he smiled and Dylan grinned back at him.
Matthew wrapped his arms round the two now alert subs, holding them both securely against him.
“We’ll have to see what we can do about you two conspiring against me already. What shall I do with you both?”
“Whatever you want if you want us…” the two subs both replied at the same time. Golden eyes locked with grey, as the two men read the feelings of contentment and acceptance of the Dom and each other in each other’s eyes.
Matthew didn’t say anything; he wanted to think before he replied. Ruefully thinking that exclusive and private as the club was it wasn’t where he would ideally have a conversation about whether he wanted to try taking things with two subs to another level. Clearly he needed to say something though, as the Dom it was his responsibility, something he never shirked.
“I do want both of you, but only if you are comfortable with that though. If you’re not,” he paused, “we will work at sorting out a different arrangement.”
He waited. Although he would never admit it to the two men, his heart was in his mouth waiting for their response.
Ash cocked his head to one side, something Matthew already realised that he did when he was thinking about something. He reached out, thoughtfully and gently he stroked a hand down the side of Dylan’s face.
“I think I could be,” he said hesitantly. “It’s not something I’d thought about before, three people in a relationship. “ Grey eyes looked at Matthew with concern.
“That’s alright. I’d be worried if you were willing to jump right in,” the Dom replied.
“It’s an adventure; I want to see what possibilities lie between the three of us.” Dylan gave a broad smile as he spoke with a serious tone in his voice.
Matthew couldn’t help but notice a shadow of sadness flicker briefly behind the hazel eyes. He wondered what that was about, he was a patient man, he would find out.
“In that case, shall we go? We can go back to my place, there’s plenty of room… if you’re comfortable with that.”
He was more than aware at the moment of treading a narrow tightrope between being the powerful Dominant that he naturally was and giving both men the allowance due for the fact that the three of them had only just met. He felt they both clearly needed and wanted the former but the latter was equally important especially at this early stage.
Ash slid gracefully off the Dom’s lap and moved to sit next to the blonde, wrapping his arms round the smaller man. He really was quite beautiful he thought to himself.
“What do you think?” he asked, so softly that Matthew could only just hear the words.
Dylan turned his head to he could look at the other man who had laid his head on his shoulder, he felt a surprised, but happy feeling that the other sub had been willing to become so close already. Grey eyes were partially hidden by a curtain of dark brown hair. He flicked his eyes back to see Matthew watching them calmly.
“Let’s go, we can always leave, but maybe it will be the start of something beautiful.” He grinned cheekily.
Ash laughed softly and both men turned to the Dom.
“We’ll go back to yours,” Dylan said, a smile on his face.
