Why this must be read: Catherine Rollins gets the short straw much of the time in fandom. In this story, she ends up being the one directing the scene to a large extent, and I think that's part of the attraction. I mean, that's what we do as writers; we get to put the characters in whatever situations we want and have them act out those fantasies. Catherine's just doing it in the "real" world, so to speak, and she wants to be right in the middle of all that good-looking skin.
I think this fic works so well because it's hot and sensual, but it's also intimate and comfortable. These are three adults who are at ease with one another, and aren't about to spend a lot of time worrying about regrets. It's pretty angst-free, and that's a good thing. Also, the threesome isn't simply a vehicle to get the boys together; it really is about the three of them tangling together with their complicated histories and relationships and finding something in the sharing of all those things.
Again, as someone who doesn't read a lot of this type of fic, I still absolutely recommend it whole-heartedly.
Then [Catherine]'s standing up and grabbing her purse and Steve is completely lost as she says, "I'm just going to use the ladies room, but I'll meet you back at Steve's place, okay?"
"Okay," Danny agrees, his smile softening as she kisses his cheek.
Steve waits until she's out of earshot and then pins Danny with a look. "Okay, what the hell is going on?"
Danny's smirking again when he says, "You weren't even paying attention were you?"
Steve opens his mouth to say something, he's not even sure what, when Danny waves him off.
"Nevermind," he says, "Cath just seems to think that you owe me one of your special massages since you fucked up my knee."
"I did not-" he starts and then the rest of Danny's sentence registers and he looks up sharply, a little wide-eyed. "One of my special massages."
"Yeah, according to Cath you're like some shiatsu master or something, I don't even know, but-"
"Danny," Steve interrupts, because apparently Cath had been plenty aware of what she was doing tonight.
"Yeah?"
"My massages are pretty much a prelude to sex," he says bluntly, because Danny can take it.
Danny's eyes go wide and his mouth drops open and he hooks a thumb back to where Cath disappeared and says, "She...you?"
"Apparently."
"Wow," Danny says on an explosive breath. "That's...wow," and he shifts in his seat and holy fuck.
