Blurb for Binding Hearts:
Brady, Joe, and Trevor met during a foreign exchange program and are in a loving, committed polyamorous gay relationship. Unfortunately, their magical time in Spain is coming to an end and they must return to the US. Each of them has different fears about coming home, but one is common to all three men: how will they be received by others on campus if their unconventional lifestyle is discovered? They want to stay together, but each wonders privately if that’s possible. Can their love survive, or are they destined to be torn apart?
Author’s note: This story was originally written for the annual Goodreads MM Romance group’s Don’t Read in the Closet event. In 2015 the event was titled Love Is An Open Road
, and readers were invited to submit a picture and story prompt, to be picked up by an author. I picked the prompt below. I hope you enjoy the story!
Dear Author,
All three of us met on a study abroad trip to Spain, and the sparks flew pretty much immediately. To say we were enamored with each other would be an understatement.
Spain is one of the most tolerant countries of homosexuality in the world, as are the other countries we had the opportunity to visit during our stay, including Portugal and France. That’s not to say our threesome never got unwanted attention during our trip, but we were empowered by the freedom these countries offered us, and being so far from our normal lives
, afforded us a nonchalant attitude about any strange looks or off-handed comments.
But now, we are back home in the U.S. with our families and friends, and an even less accepting society for unconventional relationships. As our sexual infatuation has developed into real love, we want to stay together. However, we’re each struggling with cultural reintegration in our own ways. Please tell me that we can make it work.
Sincerely,
Kelsey
Chapter One
Joe
Get here NOW. I laughed when I read the text. Trevor had never been big on patience.
Take me away. Relieve my stress. ;-) Another text, this one from my other man, Brady, who’d never been big on subtlety.
But I adored them both.
I said goodbye to my parents and little brother, barely able to contain my excitement for what was to come. For the first time in a long, long time, I wanted to go back to school. Really, really psyched. I didn’t hate school, but the lazy days of summer usually made me grumpy about packing everything up yet again and spending months in classes and doing homework. I’d spent most of this past summer with Trevor and Brady in Spain before we’d had to return to our hometowns in early August, where the days had seemed to go on forever.
I wanted to see my boys. My cock started to harden, and I shifted in the driver’s seat of my new truck. My parents, owners of a car dealership, had given me the truck for my twenty-first birthday, which actually occurred while me, Trevor, and Brady were in Spain for a study abroad program. Totally different majors, but we all ended up in Palma, the largest city on a gorgeous island off the coast of Spain, pretty close to Barcelona.
Trev and Brady had made my birthday one I’d never forget. The two of them literally fucked me into unconsciousness. Just when I thought there was no way in hell I’d get hard again, Trev would lick down over my balls— he loved doing that and I loved letting him— while Brady deep-throated me. When we’d first started fooling around, Brady had only been able to take about half of me, even though I’m no sausage stud. That’d be Brady and his seven-and-a-half-inch dick. My mouth watered.
My phone rang through the Bluetooth connection on my stereo and I pressed a button on the steering wheel to answer it.
Hey.
Hey yourself, big boy.
Trevor. I’m on my way. Should be there in about an hour and a half.
Can’t wait to see you.
Me neither. Who knew three weeks could be fucking endless?
Mmm, fucking.
I snorted. You’re a nympho.
And you love me for it.
That’s true.
And I did. Before we all left Spain, we’d all said those three magical words: I love you
. We’d been together for about six months by then, and it had felt right, though even now I could hardly believe I’d found one guy to love, much less two. The relationship worked for us, despite its unconventionality. Now we were headed back to the University of Virginia, or UVB for short, where we’d requested and gotten a triple suite. The place would probably constantly smell like sex. Well, if I had anything to do with it.
See ya soon, baby.
I laughed and clicked off the phone. Trevor was a tiny thing, all five six and a hundred forty pounds of him, but he could give as good as he got. Brady was born here, though of Indian heritage, which lent him that dark mocha skin I loved to explore with my hands and mouth. He was nearly six four, though he’d been downright skinny before we’d started lifting weights together. On the other hand, the picture of a good ole American boy in the dictionary looked like a copycat of me: brown hair, brown eyes, five eleven. We all looked totally different, but when we were together, perfection.
I cranked up the tunes, playing the beat with my thumbs on the steering wheel. Good thing not a lot of cop cars were out or I probably would’ve gotten pulled over for doing eighty in a sixty-five mile an hour zone. But I needed to get to them— to Trev and Brady. I actually ached, and it was more than physical. So, so much more. I’d never been in love. Now I understood why the poets and writers called it exquisite torture.
I pulled onto Trevor’s street and spied him standing with his dad, his bags piled around him. He signaled me into the driveway, and I cut the engine. We’d decided not to tell our parents about us yet. There was no question the three of us were in love, but would it stand the test of time, of school? Bad enough being gay, but a gay threesome? We weren’t sure how we’d be taken, so keeping our parents in the dark for now seemed like the best solution.
Stepping out of the truck, I played it cool.
Hey, man.
Trev and I exchanged the typical guy-hug, and then I pulled back and held out my hand. Nice to see you again, Mr. Albert.
You, too.
He turned to Trevor and handed him a few bills. It’s all I’ve got. Sorry it’s not more.
That’s okay, Dad. You and Mom work hard.
Yeah, well, you work hard, too, so you won’t have to live the life we did.
As he was talking, I grabbed two of Trev’s bags and heaved them into the
