Danse finished taping his hands and pulled on his gloves. He stood, rolling his shoulders slightly and watching Arthur wait for him inside the ring.
"Married life seems to suit you well," Arthur said, shifting his feet quickly on the mat.
"Yes it does." Danse grinned, stepping into the ring and facing his friend. "She's good for me."
"I could see that long before you could," Arthur laughed, taking a quick right jab at Danse as they began to spar.
"Is that why you stopped screwing her and you two just ended up spending time playing chess and talking in your room at night?"
Arthur dropped his guard for a second and Danse landed a good solid blow to his ribs.
"She told you, huh?" Arthur asked with a tense grunt and stepping back quickly.
"Of course she did. She tells me a lot of things. Like how good you are at..um.. taking her from behind.. She says if I ever want to try it I have to take lessons from you on how it's done." Danse shifted his weight quickly, avoiding the uppercut that would have rattled his teeth.
Maxson blushed and kept moving.
"Which made both of us wonder... How did you get so good at it?" Danse said quietly, pressing his attack to Arthur's left side.
"She says someone had to have taught you."
"Someone did, ok?" Arthur said a bit too quickly.
"Someone male?" Danse asked, coming to a stop in the middle of the ring.
"Yes." Arthur replied simply, stopping as well.
"That's why you only screwed her once and.. that way?" Danse let his arms hang at his sides, trying to figure all of this out.
"Look," Arthur sighed quietly. "One, yes. She does have a really cute ass. Two, yeah... I um, like anal and honestly. I felt like the rest of her belonged to you. Even back then. Three, she-"
"She thinks you actually prefer men," Danse said softly with a raised brow. "Is she right?"
Arthur stared evenly at him and took a long time before replying.
"Yes. I do. I always have. But-"
"Do you want to fuck me, Arthur?" Danse asked point blank.
"I.. Y-Y-yes I do. I have for a very long time. But... what will Grace say about it?"
"Whose idea do you think this was? She and I agree that you're welcome in our bed from time to time. We don't want to share it with you every night, but occasionally. Hell yes. We both care about you. We both find you attractive, so..." Danse let his words trail off there.
"Then I would be happy to join you both.. from time to time." Arthur grinned, licking his lips.
"Good!" Danse grinned broadly, "Seven o'clock tonight. Bring the Bourbon and the chessboard, we've got the lube."
