Colin opened a bottle of wine, Grant got out a single bottle of beer when I shook my head no, and Keith took out a glass container of tea. He poured two glasses full when I nodded my head and brought it to me.
“Welcome home, baby.” He leaned down to kiss me and I gave him my cheek. My eyes sparkled, but it wasn’t tears this time. It was happiness. I was home and I was with my men. Where I was supposed to be.
We ate together and when the meal was finished, they cleaned up. I waited until they were done. My hair was dry now and my belly full. What came next?
“We need to talk, I guess,” Colin said when the last dish was dried and put away.
“I guess we do.”
“We owe you an apology,” Grant said, and they all came to sit down with me.
“You do.” But I said it with a smile.
“And we’ll have to spend years making up for the humiliation we’ve caused you,” Keith said, serious for a change.
“You will.” Short and simple, that’s how I planned to play it for the moment. “Dinner was lovely by the way.”
“We were trained by a chef one summer, down in Texas. It was during our high school years.” Keith told me and he leaned back in his chair. His fingers tapped on the table and I knew he was nervous. I looked at his fingers, then at him. What next?
“We know you may not want exactly what we want, but we won’t force you into anything, ever. And we’ll never lie, or omit the truth, again.” Grant burst out, his face red. “At one time, we had a girlfriend, one that loved us all. And well, I fucked that up. We thought it was best to ease you into this after her.”
“Why?” I asked, confused by this sudden information.
“Because we all need to trust each other and at one point, I broke that trust. I wanted Angie to myself and I convinced her that I was the only one for her. We planned to run away together, and she was on her way to the plane. She didn’t make it. A drunk driver hit her and she died. If it hadn’t been for me, she’d be alive and we wouldn’t have been so distrustful. We wouldn’t have pulled this stunt with you.”
“I see.” But I didn’t really. It would take some time to process it all, I guess.
“What’s he’s fumbling is an apology, Celia.” Colin finally spoke up to say. “We lost faith in each other, which we shouldn’t have, and when you came along… well, we were afraid we’d rush, that we’d harm someone else. We did, as it happens, but it wasn’t intentional.”
“I know that,” I said finally, to let them off the hook. This was hurting them too, and I didn’t want to make them suffer. Besides, I really didn’t want to hear about the women they’d loved before me. They’ve been through this before, they’ve learned what works, and hopefully, those lessons would serve them now.
“The point is, we’re sorry, Celia,” Keith said and took my hand. “We’ll take this however slow you want to. We won’t break your heart again and we promise. We will love you, always.”
“You’ll love me?” I asked stunned to actually hear the words.
“Yes, darling, love,” Colin agreed. Then Grant said it too.
“You may not be ready to say it to us, and it may not make sense to you yet, but we do love you, Celia. All three of us.”
“You’d better, dammit. I’ve just given up the only friend I have for you.” I didn’t mean to say it, but it came out. “Now, which one of you is taking me to bed tonight?”
I looked at them, but I couldn’t choose, and then it hit me. I didn’t have to. My nostrils flared and my eyes went round. I didn’t have to choose at all. I could have all three.
Chapter Thirty-Four
Celia
They all stared at me, and I felt exposed but wanted, and it made me hot for all of them. I’d toyed with the idea for so long now, in the back of my mind, and I wanted to know what it was like to have all three Bentley brothers between my legs, in my mouth, and maybe even more.
“Teach me what you want. Keep me as you're one and only. Make me what you need,” I sighed as my hands reached for them.
“Don’t worry, baby, we know just what you need,” Keith said to me before he picked me up and carried me into the living room. The place where he’d taken me that first time. Where I’d lost my virginity. I suppose it was apt. I was about to fuck all three of them, so it was only right I go back to where it all began.
I knew now that they’d had this planned all along. Keith was meant to seduce me, Grant was meant to make me fall in love, and Colin was meant to make sure I felt secure. They’d accomplished their jobs perfectly. Now, I needed all three of them to make it complete.
“Let me love you, Celia,” Keith said as he put me down. I shrugged off my sweatshirt and he
pulled down my pants so that I was naked before them all. Grant went to one wing-backed chair, and Colin went to the other as Keith removed his clothes. Then he knelt between my legs, pulled me down so that I was just right, and took one juicy lick of my center.
“She’s so ready, but I think she needs more.” I heard him say. My eyes were on Colin, and then on Grant, and I couldn’t breathe. It was so... sensual.
I’d always thought it would be weird and awkward, with a lot of apologies, but my men knew what to do. I kept calling them the boys, but these were men, through and through.
Grant adjusted himself in his pants and I wanted to feel him in my hand. I looked over and saw that Colin’s hand hid his own erection, or perhaps he was simply holding it to ease the ache. “Why don’t you come over here with me? Take off your clothes and come here with me.”
I said it loud enough that there was no doubt I meant it.
Both did as I asked and one went to each side of me. Keith waited, between my thighs, to worship me. As the woman at the club had been worshipped.
Grant turned my face to his and kissed me, deep and long, his tongue a sword that battled against mine. I held his face in my palm before I turned away and looked into Colin’s eyes.
“You’re so brave, Celia. I knew you were, but fuck.” He kissed me then and ended his words. His hands came up to take a breast into his hand as he kissed me, and the soft stroke of his fingers against my nipple brought it all into reality. This was actually happening.
I gasped when Keith’s tongue slid into my folds, and he hummed with appreciation. He pushed my legs wider apart, to really get into my pussy with his tongue and then a finger. He slid the digit into me just as Grant took my other nipple into his mouth and I broke the kiss with Colin to swear. “Fuck, that’s so good.”
