After a quick snack, we got more comfortable. I laid my head on Nathan’s lap. Aiden and Callum laid on either side of me. Nathan pointed out different constellations, like the big and little dipper, Pegasus, and Orion’s belt.

“You know, it’s said that Orion fell in love with the Pleiades and when he pursued them, Zeus plucked them up and put them in the sky. He made it so that Orion always chased the sisters in the celestial dome beyond the horizon.” Nathan ran his hand through my hair as I looked up at him. “You can see Orion’s belt right there, and the sisters will always be to the east. Technically, you would be Orion and we would be the sisters, but I think I’d chase you beyond the horizon every day.” He leaned over to kiss me.

Callum grabbed my hand. “I’d only follow because chasing you would be the highlight of my days and nights. Nathan’s also horrible at directions.” He chuckled before bringing my face to his and giving me a kiss.

“I don’t think there is anywhere you could go where following wouldn’t be an option. We’d scour the sky just to see you, even if it’s small glimpses, before we chased you beyond the horizon.” Aiden got up on one elbow, looking down at me. “If that’s our fate, I’d gladly do it every night.”

He leaned down to kiss me tenderly. He pulled away, and we continued gazing into the stars in silence. They left me speechless, and I didn’t know what to say. I held on to each of them, hoping they did not take my silence in the wrong way, since their declaration felt more like I love yous. I didn’t know if I was ready for that, but chasing them every day beyond the horizon seemed more like a reality.

The weeks following Cal’s fight, Jane pampered him like he was dying and he was milking it for all it was worth. When Jane was over, she tended to him, leaving Nathan and I to fight for scraps of her attention. I loved the days she didn’t work, and having her in our home with nothing but a t-shirt and a pair of skimpy underwear.

I made sure every time I fucked Jane, Cal heard her release, and hoped he was jealous as fuck for taking all her attention. One night, Nathan I kept her up most of the night feasting on her and I’m positive Cal didn’t sleep at all either. One hilarious thing is I knew for a fact that Jane wasn’t getting sexy with Cal for fear she was going to hurt him, so he was trying to take her attention to make up for it.
