Will sat in Sonny's office at Common Grounds practically going stir crazy. 'I can only stay in here for so long.' Will was spinning himself around in the desk chair, bored. 'I need a break from studying.' At EJ's insistence Will called the university and explained about his situation. Embarrassed that they already knew all about it Will was at least glad there wasn't any hassle when he requested some time off. His professors all agreed that as long as he turned in his assignments and didn't miss any tests he didn't have to come in for at least a week. While Will was relieved he also couldn't help but be frustrated. 'This doesn't happen to normal people.'

When EJ let Will finally leave the mansion earlier in the day Will didn't realize he was going to be stuck in an office all day. Sonny and Paul both agreed that Paul shouldn't be seen in public with Will for at least a few days. Paul didn't want to make Will even more of a target especially since the person following Will around appeared to be motivated by Paul. Will agreed to go with Sonny to Common Grounds because he thought it meant he would get to see Sonny all day. But every time Will tried to sneak out and to a table Sonny chased him back to the office. Sending a text to Sonny Will twirled around again in the chair wishing he was doing anything else.

Can I come out of my cage yet?

Sonny wiped his forehead with the back of his hand buzzing around behind the counter. It was busier this afternoon than he anticipated. Feeling his phone go off in his back pocket Sonny grabbed the phone quickly reading the message with a smile. He didn't want to keep Will in the back but Sonny already had to deal with nosy customers asking about the latest set of pictures. Sonny refused to let Will anywhere near that right now. Responding to Will's text Sonny went back to work.

I thought caged birds didn't sing?

Wiping his hands on his apron Sonny walked up to the cash register, ready to take the next order, "What can I get you?"

"Cappuccino," came the meek response. "Are you Sonny Kiriakis?"

"Yep," Sonny said easily, handing the cup off to Lauren to make. Hoping someone wasn't going to bring up the pictures again. Taking the offered cash Sonny placed it in the drawer before beginning to count out the change.

"I was really sorry to hear about what happened," the guy said calmly, voice light.

"Uh huh," Sonny stated, biting the side of his cheek, 'Don't yell at customers, Kiriakis. Don't.'

"You and Paul deserved better," the boy whispered.

Sonny, disturbed, looked into the guy's eyes as he extended his hand to give him his change. Dark, limp hair hung over the boy's pale forehead almost covering his gloomy nearly black eyes. "Here," Sonny replied practically throwing the change in the guy's hands, fingers twitching to reach his phone. 'This is the guy. It has to be.' Clearing his throat Sonny, trying to be nonchalant, "Why, um, why do you say that?"

"Because I always liked you two together," the boy said wistfully. "You never needed someone like that coming in and ruining your relationship."

"Thanks," Sonny replied, trying not to react, taking the proffered drink from Lauren and sliding it over the counter. Holding his breath Sonny reached for his phone, unlocking it and lifting it up slightly before snapping a photo quickly. "I hope you come in again."

"You might see me around," the boy blinked, eyes blank, before picking up his drink and leaving the shop.

Wasting no time Sonny sent the picture to EJ. 'Should I have tried to stop him?' "Lauren, I'll be right back." Not listening for a response Sonny ran to his office, throwing open the door, heart pounding when he saw Will safe and sound.

"Sonny," Will squealed, falling out of the chair, scrambling to get up. "Why would you do that?"

Ignoring Will's question Sonny sank to his knees on the floor and wrapping his arms around Will tightly, hiding his face in Will's neck.

"Sonny," Will asked concerned and confused. "What's going on?"

"He was in here Will," Sonny admitted pulling back and looking at Will's face. "It had to be." Opening the picture he took Sonny showed it to Will.

Shrinking away from the phone Will said, "Yeah, that's him." Clinging to Sonny Will asked, "What did he do? What did he say?"

Licking his lips Sonny explained, "He basically said that he liked me with Paul. You and Chad were right he was creepy."

"What else happened," Will questioned, leaning away from Sonny. "What did you do?"

"He said that Paul and I deserved better than you. Better than you," Sonny scoffed. "What the hell is better than you? And I took a picture and sent it to EJ. I mean, what could I do?"

"No," Will insisted, "No, I'm glad you didn't do anything. I don't want him going after you too." Standing up and pulling Sonny with him Will bit his lip, "How dangerous do you think this guy is? I mean, he hasn't really done anything violent. He's just embarrassed me. Do you think he'd want to hurt me? And why is he only concerned with me and not you? I just, I don't understand this."

Sonny sat on the desk chair, pulling Will to sit on his lap, rubbing his hand over Will's back, "I don't know, babe. I hope he wouldn't physically hurt you but I wouldn't rule it out. Just, the look in his eyes when he talked about you," Sonny shivered, "I just don't understand how anyone could look like that."

Remembering what it felt like to have that gaze on him Will leaned against Sonny's chest and closed his eyes.

"I don't know why he doesn't have a problem with me either," Sonny continued, remembering what Paul said when he met the guy, "Didn't he say he had season tickets? Maybe he saw me with Paul before."

"But why is he here now," Will wondered, "He couldn't have followed you or else he would have been seen before this. Did he come because of the article?"

"I wish I had answers Will," Sonny shook his head sadly, "But I don't. We're just going to have to wait for EJ to figure out what to do. And keep him away from you."

"Can we go soon," Will asked, turning puppy dog eyes on Sonny, batting his lashes, "I don't want to be here anymore."

"Yeah, me either," Sonny disclosed.

"Hey," Will said, smacking Sonny's shoulder to get his attention, "Um, I'm sorry that I kind of demanded to stay with you. I didn't even think if you were ready to be with Paul last night or go home today. I'm really sorry I keep making things all about me."

"Hey, no don't do that," Sonny replied, touching Will's cheek, "If I wasn't ready I would have said something. And you aren't making everything about you. Paul and I want to help protect you. You've got so many people on your side I'm just glad that you want to be with me."

Will smiled at Sonny before leaning forward and capturing his lips, left hand holding the back of Sonny's neck.

"Mmm," Sonny moaned before pulling away, chuckling at Will's wounded sound. "I still need to do a few things up front and then we can go home."

"No, kissing now," Will complained, "I'm bored in here."

"We'll kiss as much as you want later," Sonny shook his head, tapping Will's thigh Sonny encouraged him to get up, "Besides you're crushing my legs."

Taking on an affronted expression Will stood up and laughed, "You calling me fat?"

"Nope," Sonny teased, "Just nice and solid." Sonny groped Will's butt playfully before walking out the door with Will's cackling echoing in his ears.

Kate sat down across from Adrienne and Sami with a determined expression on her face. "Now, I called you both here because I know you know what's going to be done about Will. Whatever it is, I want in."

Sami, glaring at one of the people she hated most in the world, "No, sorry I can't do that."

Taking a deep breath, trying not to lose her temper, Kate continued, "As much as I despise your very existence I love Will. And I don't want anything else happening to him." Kate knew all too well the pain of your sexual endeavors being broadcasted for the world to see. 'Sami should know too.'

"We have got it covered," Sami told her with a fake smile, blonde hair tossed over her shoulder. "But thanks."

Adrienne, not wanting to get between Sami and Kate, but also sensing that they might need Kate's assistance, cleared her throat, "Well, Sami maybe she could help us with one thing." Taking Sami's hand and squeezing Adrienne said, "You know, about making Sonny and Will realize the truth about Paul."

Sami, eyes narrowed, clamped her lips shut, 'Ugh, but I hate Kate.'

"What is this," Kate questioned, "What are you talking about?"

"Sami and I want Sonny and Will to see that they don't need Paul," Adrienne explained slowly.

Nodding her head understandingly Kate answered, "I could definitely help with that."

"Oh really," Sami scoffed, eyebrow arched, "And how could you do that?"

"Well," Kate said with an eye roll, "I know that Will loves spending time at the park. That and he thrives off of positive attention. We need to combine the two and make it seem like Sonny planned something elaborate to show Will how he feels about him."

"That's good," Adrienne encouraged, "But how would we do that? If we sent them to the park then who knows who would see them."

"Neil," Sami stated, shrugging when they both looked at her, "EJ made him Will's unofficial bodyguard. Wherever Will goes he goes. He can be the lookout."

"Right," Adrienne said, 'I will never understand that family.' "You two try not to kill each other while I pop into the restroom."

Watching Adrienne walk into the bathroom Kate leaned towards Sami, voice hushed, "OK, now that she's gone, you have to convince EJ to get rid of Victor."

"Why," Sami asked suspiciously. "He seemed pretty genuine about offering his help."

"I know you aren't this stupid," Kate said plainly, "It's Victor. He hates EJ. He hates you. And he hates me. Trust me, if he hasn't already he will find a way to ruin this."

"Fine," Sami whispered harshly. "But you better stay out of it. Don't you dare do anything to make this worse."

Scoffing Kate replied, "You think I'm going to be the one to make everything worse? Please, that has Sami Brady written all over it."

"Oh shut up," Sami hissed, fingernails digging into her palms.

When Adrienne returned it was to see Sami and Kate sitting across from each other, arms crossed, one foot from each tapping against the floor, glaring daggers at each other. 'What am I getting myself into?'

EJ slumped against his desk chair looking at Chad laying his head on the desk sitting across from him. "What are we missing," EJ growled, tie loosened around his neck. He thought he was going to get some actual work done at Dimera Enterprises but when he got the picture from Kiriakis he and Chad had been pouring over any lead they could get.

"The guy didn't show up until after the article came out," Chad said, repeating the information they had been going over for hours. "We can't find his name. No one in town seems to know who he is. He wasn't on any commercial flights because we looked at all the security footage. He isn't staying in any hotels. It's like he just popped up out of no where."

EJ rubbed his temples, headache forming behind his eyes, "That's impossible."

"So what," Chad asked, talking out loud just as much to himself as well as EJ, "A psycho fan just appeared and is going out of his way to only stalk Will. I mean, going after Paul that I could understand. But Will? Why go after a person you don't even know?"

EJ, hands dropping to his lap, blinked wildly. "That bastard," EJ snarled reaching out for his phone. "How dare he?"

Lifting his head up Chad questioned, "Uh, you going to tell me what's going on?"

"How the hell could you do this to William," EJ barked into the phone, face growing red, veins in his neck bulging. 'I should have known. I should have fucking known. If this was happening to anyone other than William I would have figured it out sooner.'

"What are you blithering on about," Victor gruffly remarked not accustomed to being spoken to that way.

"You insisted that you would take care of everything," EJ fumed, nostrils flaring, fists clenched on the top of the desk. "I don't know why I expected you to live up to your word."

"If you aren't going to make any sense I'm not going to listen to this," Victor commented angrily.

"With William! I know that this is your fault," EJ screamed over the line. "You were supposed to hire someone to go after Narita!"

Rolling his eyes Victor said arguably, "I did. I found the perfect candidate."

"No," EJ maintained, "You hired a psychopath who is stalking my son and ruining his life. This is not about Narita anymore."

"What do you mean," Victor asked, startled, 'I haven't heard about this.'

"I thought you knew everything," EJ mocked. "How do you not know what your little pet has been up to?"

Eyes narrowing, exhaling deeply from his nose Victor assured EJ, "There's nothing to worry about. I told you it would be more believable if they made their presence known. Now it will be realistic when something tragic happens to Paul."

"If anything happens to William so help me god I will do everything within my power to make sure you pay," EJ promised, voice deathly still.

"I have everything under control," Victor vowed. "Don't do anything drastic that you will regret." Victor hung up suddenly. 'What the hell is that boy been doing?'

EJ placed the phone back on his desk absolutely incensed.

"EJ, what the fuck was that," Chad demanded, finger pointing at EJ accusingly. "What was that?"

"It seems my plans with Victor have been derailed," EJ stated face contorted in anger.

"I told you this was a horrible idea," Chad yelled. "I knew he wouldn't take care of Will."

"Shut up," EJ shouted. "And you're one to talk about making deals with a Kiriakis."

"That's different," Chad reasoned. "This is serious. Is he the reason Will is being stalked?"

"Yes," EJ admitted reluctantly, hating to admit that Victor got the better of him this time. "He was supposed to get someone to bother Paul though not William."

"Why would you even think that was a good idea," Chad threw his hands up in the air.

"It's going to be fine," EJ tried to convince Chad, "The stalker is just setting a precedent before going after Paul. It will be fine. It's going to be fine." 'Am I trying to convince Chad or myself?'

"You need to call this off," Chad insisted. "This is only going to end with Will getting hurt. This stalker isn't fake, OK? You didn't see the way he looked at Will. This is real."

"He was hired to be a crazed fan," EJ shook his head, "I should have remembered. This was my idea. If I wasn't so blinded by everything I would have known better. I'll still do all I can to keep William out of it but everything is fine." 'It has to be.'

"This is insane," Chad blurted out. "Are you even listening to yourself? Since when do we trust a Kiriakis to take care of our own?"

"I know what I'm doing," EJ said menacingly. "Victor knows what will happen if William is hurt in the crossfire."

"And what is that," Chad questioned looking at EJ incredulously.

"That I'll hurt Jackson Kiriakis in retaliation," EJ guaranteed.

Chad extremely serious, "You have to put an end to this. What Paul did was terrible but if I've learned anything from the article it's that you cannot let your anger get the better of you. It blinded me and look what I did. If you let someone go after Paul Will is either going to be hurt physically or emotionally. You can't do this EJ."

EJ, conflicted, crossed his arms, "There's no going back now." Hiding behind a confident façade EJ couldn't help but pray he was doing the right thing.

Will, head down, hoodie pulled up, high tailed it to the car idling in the back of Common Grounds. Opening the door Will slid across the leather seat to make room for Sonny. Leaning across the middle console Will smiled, "Hi, Neil!"

"Hey," Neil grunted from the backseat. "Where are we going?" Seeing Will grab Sonny's hand out of the reflection in the rear view mirror Neil averted his eyes. 'Please don't be a long trip.'

"Just to Sonny and Paul's apartment," Will chirped glad to be out of Sonny's office. "Thanks for coming to get us."

"It's my job," Neil shrugged, pulling out into traffic. "I should have been with you all day."

"Well you have to go to class too," Will said sensibly. "Besides Sonny locked me in his office. It would have just been you and me in there."

'I'm sure he'd hate that,' Sonny thought sarcastically. "So, Neil," Sonny started, "What exactly does this body guard thing entail?"

"EJ wants me to escort Will out in public," Neil tried to recall everything EJ yelled at him. "Make sure he's never completely alone. I might stay outside of your apartment for a while and ensure no one comes around."

"It's really nice of you to do this, you know," Will added. "You don't have to."

"Trust me, Will," Neil moaned, "I do." 'Even if we won't ever be anything again I have to at least do this for you.'

Sonny, hearing the desperation in Neil's voice, couldn't help but feel sorry for him. 'This is probably a lot harder on him than I realized.' "Um, Neil," Sonny started, "I, um, just, you know, thank you. For watching out for Will."

"You're welcome," Neil said seriously.

Neil pulled into a parking spot with a clear view of Paul and Sonny's apartment. "Let's go," Neil said firmly, frantic to get them inside and away from him.

Sonny guided Will to the front door with Neil trailing behind them. 'OK, you are ready to be back here. You're working on forgiving Paul. This is going to be fine,' Sonny thought before unlocking the door and stepping inside.

Will, paused mid-step, before biting the side of his lip and turning around to face Neil. Telling Sonny over his shoulder, "I'll be right in." Looking into Neil's eyes Will reached out to grab his forearm, "Thank you, Neil. I know that this is really awful for you, me being here. I just want you to know that I appreciate it."

"I know," Neil told him, stepping away from Will's touch. "I want to do it. Even if I didn't I owe it to you."

"Well," Will said considering it, "I still can't thank you enough." Will moved toward Neil and hugged him quickly. "Thank you," he whispered.

Neil closed his eyes, arms holding onto Will for a few seconds, before he opened them and moved away. Catching Paul and Sonny watching them from the doorway Neil encouraged Will to go inside, "They're waiting for you." Neil, making sure there was nothing or no one nearby, walked quickly to the car and slamming the door closed. 'You just want him to be happy. As long as he's happy.'

Will shut the door behind him before catching Sonny and Paul's eyes, "Sorry if that made you mad. But I just feel bad for him."

"It's OK," Sonny assured Will with a small smile. "We trust you."

"Yeah," Paul nodded. "Besides we both know what it's like to want you so badly but not being able to have you."

"I know," Will sighed. "But it's just, I feel guilty about Neil."

"What do you mean," Sonny asked head tilting to the side, face showing his confusion.

Will moved further inside before throwing himself face down on the bed. "I didn't agree to go on a date with Neil because he was the only guy available. I mean, you remember that night, when you took me to the party and wouldn't let me drink?"

"And you did anyway and got really drunk," Paul laughed. "The night you first met Neil?"

Will swallowed, knowing they probably wouldn't like this, "When your friends were talking about him and he walked over I knew he was coming for me. The way he looked at me, I just knew. And I was excited. I didn't kiss him just because he was there and I was drunk. I thought he was really cute. Later, when he found me again and asked me out I just, I said yes because I liked him. I knew I didn't stand a chance with either of you and I wanted to move on. With Neil."

"And you feel guilty because you started seeing us even though you were kind of with Neil," Sonny finished, sitting next to Will on the bed. He wasn't thrilled to hear that Will actually liked Neil and wanted to kiss him but he understood.

Will nodded. "I mean, I liked him enough. But when I kissed him when I wasn't drunk it didn't give me butterflies. It was nice and it felt better than kissing a girl but it's not like when either of you kiss me."

Paul, gingerly planting his hands on Will's lower back, rubbing slightly, "It's not your fault you didn't like him. You don't have to like every person that likes you."

"It's just hard to see him all the time," Will said slowly, relaxing under Paul's hands. "I don't like it when I hurt people, especially when I can't fix it."

"You can't help it," Sonny smiled. "So you're not going to go out there in the middle of the night and ease his suffering."

"No," Will said with a roll of his eyes, laughing, "I'm exactly where I want to be." Moving onto his knees and dislodging Paul Will sat cross legged on the bed. Looking around the room Will's eyebrows lifted high on his forehead, "Um, Paul, why are all the windows covered with newspaper?"

"Oh, that," Paul shrugged, as if it was no big deal, "I covered them up so no one could look in. I mean, we were upstairs last night and that guy still got pictures of us. I'm not taking any chances. Speaking of," Paul said before standing up and walking to the desk. He pulled the desk until it was blocking the door, being careful not to use his bad arm too much. "There."

Will and Sonny looked at Paul with matching disbelieving looks. Sonny licked his lips and asked, "Was that necessary?"

"I don't know what that freak could do," Paul said heatedly. "Therefore I'm not taking any chances that they could see or look in. I'm doing whatever it takes to keep you two safe."

"Well I think it's sweet," Will said, "Weird, but sweet."

"I hope we have something to make here because now we're blocked in," Sonny remarked with a chuckle.

"Oh, yeah," Paul said sheepishly, "I didn't think of that."

"Well, that's all on you two," Will smiled, "I don't know how to cook." When he saw the looks Sonny and Paul were giving him Will added, "With my revolving door of family members when would they have time to teach me to cook?"

Will sat on the bed, stomach full from dinner, staying out of the way as Sonny and Paul tidied up. Seeing a book on the side table Will picked it up, curious about what Paul would read while he was alone. 'Oh,' Will thought swallowing harshly when he saw the title. Flipping through the book Will wondered if there was a chapter entitled, "Your friend fooled around with you while you were drunk and now you're dating him and another guy." Somehow he doubted it.

"Hey," Paul said panicking when he noticed Will holding his book. Ripping the book from Will's hands, trying to hide it, Paul said, "It's nothing."

"I think it's something," Will responded, uncomfortably, "Why do you have that?"

"I-I um, it's for you, actually," Paul admitted. "I was just afraid you would get really pissed at me if I gave it to you. I'm trying to stay on your good side if you didn't notice."

"I'm not angry," Will said, "It just makes me feel weird."

"What are you talking about," Sonny asked, wiping his wet hands on his pants, reading the title of the book Paul was holding Sonny thought, 'Oh.' "So that's what you meant when you told Sami you were reading books."

"Yeah," Paul stated, rubbing the back of his neck, "I have one for you too. I just, I wasn't sure if you two were ready for them. Or if it would just make everything worse."

"I don't think anything can get any worse," Will mused derisively. Will snatched the book out of Paul's hands, "I appreciate this but I don't know if this is for me. I don't think it really describes what happened to me."

"Will," Sonny said softly, "Don't try that again. None of us are going to move on if we all aren't on the same page. We know what Paul did and we've accepted that."

"No," Will argued, "I just," Sighing deeply and closing his eyes, Will shifted on the bed awkwardly, "I know that it was wrong and bad and I don't want to be drunk when it happens again but-" Will trailed off, feeling like this was going to be too much for Sonny and Paul to take.

"But what," Paul asked encouragingly, wanting Will to be honest, needing Will to be honest. "You can say it OK. Anything. Whatever it is."

Cutting off Paul's rambling Sonny interjected, "What do you mean again?"

"Um, I mean that if that happened now," Will started, trying to find the words, "I mean while we're all together. If um I went to sleep and one of you did that I would probably like it."

Sonny and Paul blinked at Will blankly making Will's cheeks heat up.

"I just mean that it would be kind of hot," Will rushed out, "You know. Because um I like to think that I'm yours and you always say that you're going to protect me and decide what's best for me."

"Wait, what," Sonny asked, heart beating quickly. 'Don't think about anything yet, don't even.'

"I maybe kind of think it's really hot," Will confessed, playing with the buttons of his shirt, not looking at Sonny but especially Paul. "And I think that's why I don't really think what Paul did was so bad."

"Because you like it," Sonny wondered. 'I did not see this coming.' "Will, are you sure about this?"

Nodding slowly, trying to concentrate, "Yeah, I mean I know you both get mad when I say it was my fault but I contributed. I knew that I liked Paul and I went home with him. I remember bits of the night and what I do remember was really hot."

Paul, completely silent, had no idea what to think, tried not to think. 'Just listen.'

"And I never even imagined either of you like that before at all," Will clarified, "I never thought we would ever happen. But we are together, now, right? And whenever I think about what happened with Paul and me it's hard to see it as something completely wrong. Because when I close my eyes and try to picture it I just I get distracted."

"Distracted by what," Sonny questioned, sitting on the bed closer to Will. "Tell me."

"I try to imagine it," Will whispered, breathless, feeling his skin begin to tingle. "What Paul said with me all over him and talking like that, taking my clothes off and seeing how long it takes for him to give in. And um, going to sleep and having him touch me like that, use me. I um, I like it."

Sonny, visualizing it now, eyes closed, thinking about the situation in a whole new way swallowed harshly. "OK, yeah I think I get it." Trying to focus though Sonny shook his head, "But Will that doesn't excuse what happened."

"I know that," Will said slowly. "I know that what happened wasn't my fault but I think that if I'm going to really get over it all and forgive Paul then I need to accept this part of it too."

"So what do you want to do," Paul asked, finally speaking, sitting on the very edge of the bed.

"Um," Will said looking between Paul and Sonny, fists opening and closing rhythmically, "I have an idea but I'm not sure either of you will like it."

"What is it," Sonny grabbed Will's hand, "You can tell us anything."

"Well," Will replied nervously, "Um I think I want to do it again kind of but um different." Licking his lips Will said, "Sorry, um I just mean that if I tried to talk like that, dirty and stuff, and you both watched maybe I would see how different this time is from that night. And see that I can trust you to only touch me when I want it."

Paul nodded slowly. 'Oh, lord, give me the strength to do this. I can't let Will or Sonny down.'

"OK," Sonny said, a bit apprehensive but still excited. "How should we-um I mean, how do we do this?" Sonny laughed a bit at himself. 'You've been with Will since all of this happened, calm down. This is just as much about trust as it is about lust. Will wants this to get over what happened.'

"I don't know," Will giggled with a shrug. "You did promise me all the kisses I wanted."

Sonny smiled before leaning over and kissing Will quickly, "I didn't think that was the point of this."

"The point is making me feel comfortable," Will snarked, "And I want a kiss." Will reached out for Sonny's neck and pulled him closely so he could kiss him good and proper. Pulling away with a loud smacking sound Will smiled before crawling to Paul and kissing him lightly. Feeling Paul slowly relax into the kiss Will pecked his lips a few times before sitting back down. "Um, I think I want to start now."

"What should we do," Paul asked terrified he would do something wrong. Glancing at Sonny Paul tried to convey how nervous he was. Paul wasn't even sure if Sonny was comfortable with this, with Paul being near him during something sexual.

"You should just watch," Will teased lightly before unbuttoning his shirt slowly. Stealing a look at the windows to double check no one could see in Will shoved his shirt off of his shoulders. Getting onto his knees Will unbuttoned his jeans slowly, taking his time wiggling them off his hips. When he was in nothing but his boxers Will reclined against the pillows, closing his eyes and adjusting to Sonny and Paul gazing at him.

Inhaling sharply Paul moved until he was sitting criss-cross on the bed staring straight at Will, trying to make sure Will was still comfortable.

Sonny, reacting to Will's nearly nude body, sat next to Paul and reached over for his hand. Sonny wasn't sure if he had forgiven Paul completely for cheating on him and hurting Will but he was getting there. He didn't want Paul to feel alone in this.

Feeling their eyes on him Will breathed slowly, relaxing. 'They make me feel good about myself. Their eyes don't scare me like that creeper guy's does. They make me feel cherished and adored.' Reaching his hands up Will gently touched his lips, tracing their shape, feeling the soft, plump texture. Moving his fingers down his throat Will remembered what it felt like to feel Sonny and Paul sucking and biting him. Moaning softly Will lifted his hips off the bed eyes fluttering open.

Paul squeezed Sonny's hand gratefully licking his lips and swallowing nervously.

Dragging his nails down his chest and over his nipples Will gasped slightly, surprised by how good it felt. He had never given his nipples much attention before Sonny and Paul showed him how nice it felt. Rolling one between his fingers while his other hand scratched over his abs Will's hips rolled against the bed, cock beginning to harden. Catching Sonny and Paul watching him closely Will whispered, "Is this OK?"

"So, OK, Will," Sonny reassured. "You look so good like that, teasing us like this."

"Really," Will asked, "You like watching me?" Body tingling, feeling empowered, Will lifted his hips off the bed and slowly pulled his boxers down, kicking them towards Sonny and Paul. Completely naked Will fidgeted slightly.

"Yes," Paul answered gruffly, throat dry and pants tight, clinging desperately to Sonny's hand.

"Good," Will said, hand gliding through his pubic hair, fingertips teasing the base of his cock Will continued, "I like it too. I like feeling your eyes on me. I like that I can see how much you're enjoying this, that you can see how much I am too. It turns me on so much." Hand wrapping firmly around his cock Will whimpered. "Should I move my hand?"

"Yes, please, touch yourself Will," Sonny begged, wanting to see it so much. Sonny was almost surprised by how hot he found this, Will wanton, and spread out, with Paul gripping his hand.

Hand jerking up and down teasingly Will groaned, thumb swirling around his head. Struggling to catch his breath and gather his thoughts Will questioned, "Do you, do you wish this was your hand? That you were touching me?"

Sonny and Paul nodded almost in unison.

"I almost do too," Will threw his head back, thumb digging into a sensitive spot just under his head, "Do you remember when we first were together and you both touched me? I wanted you to rut against me and come all over me. Maybe that's why I'm so turned on by what Paul did."

Almost whimpering Paul adjusted himself in his pants, cock pressing painfully against his zipper, pleased to see Sonny looking just as uncomfortable as he was.

"I like being covered in your come," Will admitted, moving until his feet are pressed against the bed, legs spread. Reaching his free hand underneath his balls Will lifted his hips slightly until he found his hole, aching to press something inside. "I like knowing that I'm pleasing you. Even when I'm asleep. I want to wake up and feel you touching me. Want your mouth around my cock or feel you inside of me. I want it, someday, please."

"OK," Sonny whispered feeling a bit faint. "Anything you want."

"But not when I'm drunk," Will added, teasing against his hole, twisting his left hand around his cock. "I want to know exactly what it is we do."

"Never again," Paul promised, voice cracking. "Never."

Will whined slightly, legs shaking, "I want it inside."

"Get, um, get out the lube," Sonny said quietly, eyes wide, unable to look away from Will.

Rolling over Will almost fell off the bed opening the side table and finding the first bottle of lube he could find. Hands trembling Will popped off the lid and drenched both his hands before throwing it across the bed. Staying on his knees, neck and face pressed against a pillow, ass completely exposed Will slathered his crack with lube. "Do you want to see," Will panted out.

"Oh fuck, Will," Paul blurted out. "Jesus, you're so sexy. God, please put it inside, want to see it."

Will rubbed his entrance slowly, having never done this to himself before, he tried to do it right. Pushing his fingertip inside Will cried out in relief, having to force himself from slamming it all the way in. "Tell me," Will asked frantically, "Tell me what to do."

"Keep going," Sonny ordered, pressing his palm against his aching cock. Seeing Will follow his directions Sonny swallowed, the sight of Will almost too much. His hands were tingling, wanting to reach out and touch him, 'He's so close. Ass right there.'

Finger all the way inside Will whined, "It feels so good. I missed this so much." Moving his finger in a circle Will gasped, gently pulling his finger in and out. "Oh, that's so good. Mmm."

Paul, ripping his hand away from Sonny, sat on his hands, terrified he was going to reach out and touch Will, 'Fuck, I don't know if I can do this.' "I want to touch you so bad," Paul practically sobbed.

"Mmm," Will moaned sympathetically. "Not yet. Oh, fuck, mmm, need more. Want to feel full." Will added another finger and rocked forward mouth open in a silent scream.

"Please," Sonny begged, "Will, please."

"No," Will informed them, voice breathy but firm. "You said you would listen to me. I get to decide when you touch me. Or if you touch me." Grabbing his cock again Will tried to find a rhythm between his fingers fucking inside of himself and his hand jerking his cock. "It's so hard, isn't it Sonny? You want to touch me so badly."

Sonny nodded sadly, "I do. I do want to touch you."

"It must have taken a lot for Paul to give in before," Will mused, smiling to himself, glad he could be making such a coherent point right now, "Can you understand why he did it? Hmm. Oh fuck," Will cried.

"Yes," Sonny admitted, "Yes, OK. I know it must have killed him to see you that way. So pretty and wanting and needing someone to touch you. I can understand I can." Sonny could. It must have been impossible for Paul to resist Will that night. 'It doesn't mean I forgive him quite yet but I understand.'

"Paul," Will tried to get out, almost to the point of incoherency, "Are you going to touch me without my permission?"

"No, no, never," Paul vowed, "Even if it kills me, I won't I swear. Never ever."

Loving how Sonny and Paul were desperate for him and unable to touch him, that they wouldn't touch him made Will feel sexy and powerful. Will, practically collapsing onto himself, shoved his fingers roughly inside, curling them slightly, cried out as he came across his fist.

"Oh fuck," Sonny cried, "Will, Will, are you OK? That was so sexy, so good."

Will rolled over onto his back, body glistening and exhausted. Smiling at Sonny and Paul Will beckoned them closer. When the two of them dove on the bed Will giggled slightly. 'Hmm,' Will thought before lifting his come covered hand and wiping one finger across Sonny's lips before doing the same to Paul's. Feeling how hard they were pressed against his hips Will asked them, "If I told you that you couldn't come would you listen to me?"

"Yes," they both responded instantly. Paul took a deep breath, licking his lips clean, "Right now is whatever you want. Anything."

Smiling at Paul giving him such a wonderful answer Will licked the rest of his hand slowly before declaring, "I want you to get naked."

Sonny and Paul began tearing at their clothes, even popping a few buttons until they were both completely nude, lying on their sides waiting for Will to tell them what he was comfortable with.

"I want," Will bit his lips, enthralled with the sight of his boyfriends' naked bodies, their heaving chests and hard cocks. "I want to see you touch each other."

"What do you mean," Sonny asked, 'Oh god, do I want this?'

"Jerk each other off," Will stated calmly, "But only if you want to. I want to make sure everyone is OK with this."

'OK, yes, I do want to do this,' Sonny thought before reaching over and taking Paul's long cock in his hand.

Paul, surprised, bucked into Sonny's hand, gasping loudly, "Oh fuck." Hand grabbing Sonny firmly Paul jerked Sonny's thick length quickly, knowing that Sonny was just as worked up as he was.

Sonny, Paul's thick hand working him over, Will's doting blue eyes watching him, knew he wasn't going to last long. Twisting his hand along Paul's cock Sonny told Will, "Oh, god, I'm gonna come."

Will, placed his hand on Sonny's knee, leaning in for a deep, wet kiss. Free hand tugging on Sonny's thick hair Will moaned into Sonny's mouth, feeling Sonny jerk forward and shake when he started to come. Pulling away with a smile Will kissed Sonny's cheek tenderly before moving to Paul.

Paul, turned on, fucking into Sonny's palm cried out loudly when he felt Will's hands hold his face, thumbs affectionately rubbing his cheeks. When Will kissed him softly Paul came all over Sonny's hand, head leaning forward onto Will's shoulder.

Will, feeling warm and comforted, fell onto his spot in the middle of the bed, bringing Sonny and Paul with him. Face heating up recalling what he did Will covered his face, "Wow."

"You can say that again," Sonny chuckled. "I did not expect that."

"Me either," Will said honestly. "I mean, I never really thought I would admit that to you, ever. But I'm glad I did."

"And do you feel better now," Paul asked seriously, "Do you feel like I might be telling the truth when I say I'll only do something with your consent from now on?"

"Yeah," Will said quietly. "I do." Glancing at Sonny Will checked, "What about you?"

"I feel like I understand what happened that night a bit better," Sonny admitted, "And like I get your take on everything. I can't say that I really get it but I'm trying."

Paul sighed in relief, 'I didn't think that this would ever happen. God, how did I get the two most understand guys?' "Thank you," Paul said sincerely. "I just, I know that we still have a long way to go but thank you for not giving up on me."

The three laid together in comfortable silence, basking in each other's presence and the relief they all shared that things were slowly getting on track amongst them.

Paul, a bit nervous, "I did something today while you two were at Common Grounds. And I'm not really sure if you're going to approve or not but I took a chance."

"What is it," Sonny asked a bit leery, well aware that Paul didn't have the best track record when it came to doing things either might not like.

"Well, I mean, I was thinking about how unsafe everything has been for us lately, Will in particular. And we got a letter saying the lease for this place was up at the end of the month so it just kind of made sense. Plus with the way we were all tripping over each other trying to clean after dinner," Paul continued on, rushing it out as fast as he could.

"Wait, what are you even talking about," Will questioned, feeling lost.

"I um, I talked to the leasing office here about getting a bigger apartment, you know for the three of us," Paul said, looking at his hands, "If you two wanted to. If you were ready."

"You want me to move in with you," Will breathed out, "Really?"

"I know that I do," Paul assured. "Last week you spent almost the whole time with us and whenever you left we were both miserable. I, just, I want you both with me, all the time."

Sonny, trying not to smile, 'Wow, he actually did something completely sweet and adorable.' Reaching over Will and kissing Paul softly Sonny said, "I would really love that."

Will, eyes wide at his boyfriends kissing almost directly above him, grinned, practically squealing inside, "Yes, I mean me too. I mean, yes, I want to move in with you."

Relieved Paul laughed happily, "Oh thank god. I already signed the papers and they already rented this place out."

Sonny, smacking Paul's bare chest slightly, "What were you going to do if we said no?"

"Beg you until you said yes," Paul said smugly. "Besides, I had a good feeling about it." Closing his eyes and relaxing, feeling almost content for the first time since they got back from their trip, Paul smiled when Will rolled over into his arms, Sonny resting his head against Will's back.
