After getting bitten by an animal, Ryder finds himself developing strange new abilities. What's more, two guys at his university begin trying to convince him to move to their respective towns. It's not until his run-in with the local rogues that he...
Kendric put a hand on Ryder's head and ruffled his hair. "You're going to need to get more comfortable with other things first."
"I guess kissing is a good place to start."
"It is, yes."
Ryder turned to look at him but was met with the man's lips as they embraced for the second time. Once he realized what was happening he wrapped an arm around Kendric's neck and opened his mouth to deepen the kiss.
Despite all his reservations about dating men, he did not feel disgusted at all. If anything, it felt even better than when he'd been with Delilah.
They held each other for a bit longer, and when they parted, he smiled. "I think I'm getting the hang of it."
"Good." Kendric let go. "Now can you please go take a shower?"
Ryder realized he was indeed starting to smell like the creek and wrinkled his nose. "Yeah, I could use some soap."
They returned to the hotel so he could clean off, and waited for Adan to return. Whatever Felix spoke about had upset Adan. The man claimed it was another pointless meeting that could have been handled via a phone call.
Ryder sat next to the man on the bed and leaned on him in comfort. "It's fine. You're back now."
Adan noticed that Ryder was being extra cuddly today and shot a look toward Kendric, who nodded back. So Adan wrapped an arm around him and pulled Ryder onto the bed till they were lying side by side.
"What are you doing?" Ryder asked as he was wrapped in a bear hug.
"Shhh." The man sighed, closing his eyes and holding him close.
Ryder didn't struggle, but he did adjust himself to be more comfortable in Adan's arms. Then the two lay there for about five minutes before Kendric joined on Ryder's other side.
For a split second, he expected something to happen, but instead, the three of them fell quiet and ended up taking a late afternoon nap together.
They woke up to the sound of Ryder's stomach growling. Kendric had already gotten up and was on his phone, but Adan was still holding Ryder close.
"You have a bottomless pit for a stomach." Adan laughed.
"I swear it wasn't this bad when I was a human."
"I guess it's just one of those changes that come from being bitten instead of being born as a werewolf."
"Maybe." Ryder acknowledged, then emboldened himself to peck the man directly on the lips before getting up and stretching.
Adan sat up and stared after him, then looked at Kendric who was smirking.
"Was that too shocking for you?" Kendric asked. Then leaned in and kissed Adan even more deeply, making Ryder blush.
Adan smiled back, "I didn't mind, but I appreciate your donation." Then went in for another kiss.
Now Ryder was feeling left out again and stood awkwardly in the middle of the room as he waited for the two men to finish. He thought to take his phone out and pretend to be doing something else, but felt Kendric grab his hand and pull him between the two.
"What's the matter?" Kendric asked. "Did you want to join?"
Ryder swallowed hard, then looked at Adan, who was very interested. "Maybe?"
Adan leaned in until their lips brushed. "If you say so." Then he pressed his lips in closer, and once more Ryder found himself overcome with emotion. His heart began racing even faster than before, and his head spun from the contact as he felt Kendric hold him from behind.
His and Adan's lips slid against one another, and he opened his mouth to deepen their contact before Adan pulled away suddenly. "I think we should get some food before you try to eat me."
Ryder opened his mouth to argue but was interrupted by his stomach growling yet again. All three of them laughed and got up.
They got food, and Ryder now felt much more comfortable with touching them. Occasionally he'd hold hands with one, but not both since it made him feel like a child. He'd interchange who he was holding hands with every so soften.
That night, When the two men got ready for bed, Ryder grabbed his pillow and stood nearby. He didn't have to say a word for them to understand and drag him down in the middle.
Again, he worried they may be moving too fast or getting the wrong idea, but once more they just held him and fell fast asleep.

A/N: There ya go. A daily dose of fluff. Also quick question. Anyone who has read my other stories knows that I get very detailed with spicy scenes. For this story, since this is the longest I've gone before introducing spice to a story, I was wondering if ya'll would prefer the same level of detail, or closed door. (Basically fade to black).
