Sharah picked up a shell, sitting close to his side, and offered it to him, tipping the shell up and letting it slide into his mouth. Yavia leaned into his other side, “Hmmm aren’t scallops supposed to be an aphrodisiac?”

Sharah

Tenkiller almost choked on the scallop and then chewed and took a drink. “Hun, I think ya mean oysters.” and he chuckled. “ ‘Sides… you two are all the aphrodisiac this guy needs.” He leaned in and kissed Sharah, opening himself as much as someone untrained could, and let all his desire, longing,passion, and love cascade into her. Then he did the same to Yavia.

Tenkiller

Sharah’s arms slid around him. His kiss left her wanting a lifetime of more before it ever ended. It was a delightful feeling the way he so freely offered that contact and acceptance of it. He knew she could feel it no matter what, but he chose to give it to her. For that long blissful moment Sharah felt normal and cherished and desired. Carefully, gently, she gave him back her own love, desire, passion, and the way he made her feel safe from herself. When it ended it left her to try to catch her breath and she reached for the glass of chilled water.

Sharah

Yavia’s fingertips traced over his temple, along his jaw and down his neck. She let her touch convey her feelings to him lightly, a promise of more. Then her palm rested flat over his heart and there was the brilliant connection of uniqueness and love and belonging that told him she loved him completely. There was passion and desire as well. She lingered for as long as he wanted. “You are an amazing man TK.” She kissed him briefly, “Sharah and I are very lucky to have you and each other.” She kissed him quickly again, she took his hand and Sharah’s completing their wonderful little circle.

Yavia

There it is again. he thought to himself, knowing full well that Sharah would probably catch the inner voice in his head. For all of his unique gifts, Charles was both very self-aware and keenly observant. The circle. It just makes everything… and he looked at Sharah as if asking her if she felt it and to complete the thought.

Tenkiller

Sharah lifted her eyes to his gaze. Oh yes she could feel it. From him and from Yavia. The way they slipped so easily into it, their simple acceptance of their place within it. The joy, the sense of belonging, and the completeness. They were a bright beacon that anchored her in the darkness. For a blink of a moment she felt the storms and darkness rip at her, and she didn’t feel she belonged there at all. The small but determined core of her held desperately to that circle. She lived them deeply and completely without reservation. It flowed off of her, past her control, to fill them. Oh yes she felt it. The way they drew her into her place, held her there, and filled all the broken chipped pieces of her.

Did she dare answer his mind? Did she trust her control? No she didn’t. He would tell her that was okay because he did, and she trusted him. She felt confused again, uncertain, but there was no room for fear. The circle didn’t allow it inside. ‘…complete. It makes us complete.‘

Sharah

Charles smiled at her and then leaned in and kissed her, his lips still carrying the saltiness of the scallops far away home. He then looked at V and said “Ya know, I think she might be gettin’ the hang of this whole ‘she’s allowed to be happy’ thing after all.” He looked back at Sharah and winked with grin on his face and then he turned and kissed Yavia. “Just makin’ sure you remember, too.”

Tenkiller

Yavia’s smile was warm when she squeezed Sharah’s hand watching the woman’s cheeks turn pink. Love, acceptance, desire, happiness, comfort, and contentment rushed up Sharah’s arm from their joined hands. Yavia was not afraid to share her mind with Sharah, she wasn’t afraid of being hurt, or having her secrets found out. She would keep no secrets from either of them.

She kissed TK back, sharing all the same feelings. “Oh I do. I can’t be anything but happy with both of you.” Then he was kissed on both corners of his mouth by both of them, “So you remember too.”

Yavia sat up and grabbed two shells handing one to each of them. Then took one for herself. “These are far too delightful to leave any on the plate.”

Yavia

“I agree.” Tenkiller said and held up his shell. “Cheers!” and when all the shells clicked he ate his last scallop. “O really hope the chef didn’t peak too soon. Although I won’t be upset even if that was the best thing we eat tonight.”

Sharah sighed a delighted sound coming from the back of her throat. “This is the best thing I have ever eaten, but I’m nor here for the food. It’s just a bonus.”

“If the Chef peeks with the appetizer this place doesn’t deserve the reputation.”

He sat and put his arm around both women and smiled. “Best double-date ever.” and then he paused. “Wait… triple date?” he asked with comical puzzled expression on his face. “I’m on a date with her-” and he pointed at V, “- and her…”and he pointed at Sharah. “And she is on a date with her… so yeah, triple date!” and he laughed and then smiled at both of the women he was in love with.

Tenkiller

Sharah watched him count out the pairings and laughed, a slight confused tone to it, but no less happy for it. It was weirdly comfortable and she was perfectly okay with that. There was a hint of happy laughter to her voice “I love you,” and she kisses him. Then she tugged Yavia closer, “I love you too,” and she kissed her as well.

Sharah

“I love you too, Sweetheart.” Then she chuckled. “I don’t usually share well, but I like this.” Yavia settled in against his side and pressed a kiss to his neck. “I don’t know why this happened so fast but I can’t imagine things being any differently.”

Yavia

“Fast?” Tenkiller said with a grin. “Who says? I think it happened just like it was supposed to. An’ ‘sides… ‘fast’ is for other folks to say. We do us how we want to.” and he looked at Sharah and then back at V. “Deal?”

Tenkiller

Sharah grinned, “What’s fast? You either know, you feel it, or you don’t.” Sharah had a bit of a revelation, much bigger and more in general than what was going on between the three of them. Nothing about her life had ever been measured by normal standards, so why did she keep trying to make her life fit other’s standards? She picked up her glass after kissing his cheek, “Deal,” and took a drink.

She raised her brows at Yavia who chuckled, “Of course, Deal.” She grabbed her glass and sipped at it. As much as she might want to drink the whole thing it was too good to rush.

Sharah

Charles looked at in mock-shock and put his hand on his heart. “What? Did my ears just hear what I think they heard?” and grinned and leaned in close to her, his eyes locking into hers. “Did you, Dr. Sharah Fayth, just decide that your happiness is more important than what other people decide is important?” He leaned closer, his gaze flitting to her lips for a long moment and a cascade of primal want flowing off of him like a sudden, brief rain shower. “That’s a good look on you, my love… you caring for you. I guess I should formally welcome you to the Sharah fan club. V and I have been members for a while now-” and he kissed her suddenly, his lips conveying that same fleeting drive from a moment before.
