Twisted Love
Prequel to “The Smith Brother Series”
Blurb
Affairs, cougars, scandals… the Smith brothers have it all.
None of them have a straight forward love life…even the ones that think they do.
However, Brad’s 35th birthday sparks a change for all of them.
Unraveling everything that they thought they knew.
Angelo wants his brother to find love, ignoring his own issues.
Alex is addicted to the girl he can’t have.
Oliver is hopelessly in love with the girl next door, while Nelson eyes her mother.
And Wesley… well, his mess is a permanent one.
There’s no escaping now!
Chapter One – Brad
“Happy birthday, bro!” Angelo smacks me on the back hard. “Thirty five years old. Who’d have thought it? I don’t think any of us believed you’d live this long.”
“Dude!” my youngest brother, Nelson, jumps in. “Don’t be so insensitive.”
“What? Why is that insensitive? I’m just saying…”
“Angelo, if you don’t get what Nelson is saying then you need a smack,” Wesley joins in.
As always, when we’re all together, there is an argument of some kind. I guess that’s what you get for putting six brothers in one room, which is why any birthday is a nightmare. Even if it’s mine, which should be far more dignified since there is a thirteen year age gap between me and the next one in line, Oliver.
But this argument I understand. At least, I get Nelson and Wesley’s point of view. This is a particularly difficult birthday for me because our parents were also thirty five years old when that car crash killed them sixteen years ago, leaving me in charge of Oliver, who was only six years old at the time. Angelo and his non identical twin brother, Alex, who were almost five. Wesley who had just turned three and Nelson who was two.
To say it wasn’t easy would be an understatement.
Our mother’s brother came over from England to look after us for a while, but I still did most of the work. Then when I hit twenty one years old, everything fell to me, including the running of our father’s very successful marketing company.
I have been busy as fuck. Life has been mental for as long as I can remember.
“It doesn’t matter.” I raise my beer bottle high to shut them all up. “I’m not upset. Can we just have a nice evening rather than causing the same shit as always.”
“Yeah, okay.” Alex pats me on the arm. “Instead of giving each other shit, we should be giving you shit since it’s your birthday.”
“That isn’t what I meant…” I try, but of course, no one is listening in. They’ve got a common goal now and it’s to torment me. I better buckle up.
“Yeah, I think we need to talk about your age, bro,” Oliver smirks. “Your age and the fact that you haven’t settled down. I mean, what other thirty five year old man do you know that hasn’t ever had a long term relationship before.”
“Because I don’t have time!” I cry out.
“Time is fucking bullshit. You have to make time. For the right woman, you got to.”
“Well, maybe I haven’t found the right woman then.” I shrug. “Maybe it will come with time. Why the hell do you guys care anyway?”
“You know…” Angelo joins in, using his trouble causing voice which puts me right on the edge. It seems that my attempt to get them to get the fuck off my back hasn’t helped. “I think I might know someone who’s perfect for you. Someone who’s hot enough that you will be interested forever, but also intelligent so you can have a conversation.”
“Right, sure.” I roll my eyes dramatically. “And you just decided to tell me now.”
“Well, there is one thing that you’ll use as an excuse to not date her, but I think you should look past that, for once and just give the girl a chance.”
“Does she have an extra head or something? Come on, you know I’m not shallow.”
“Then why haven’t you ever given someone a chance? And don’t say time.” Alex winks.
“It does take up a lot of my time running the company and looking after you bastards.”
“We’re all adults now. Even Nelson is eighteen years old. You don’t need to babysit us anymore. And don’t forget, Angelo and Oliver work for the company. We know that the business pretty much runs itself these days. You don’t need to panic so much.”
“Alex, will you just stop it? I don’t want to think about it. I just want to have a few drinks and have a nice night with you all. Is that too much to ask?”
Truth be told, I have been considering what it would be like to have a proper relationship these days. I’ve spent such a long time looking after other people that I haven’t really looked after myself, and it would be nice to do so. The idea of having a wife and a family of my own is exciting… but at the same time, I haven’t met anyone that fits into my life.
I don’t know exactly what I’m looking for, despite my brother’s insistence I’m not shallow. That’s why I don’t ever tell them anything real about myself.
“But we can’t have you hooking up with anyone like Maria again…”
“Alex, leave it! I know that she went all crazy and stalker kind, but I won’t make that mistake again. She was supposed to be a one night stand, nothing more.”
“Then there was Rebecca, and Sally…”
“Okay, thank you.” I snort with derision. “I haven’t made the best choices, I will admit that, but my thirty fifth birthday is supposed to be a celebration about everything that is good about me. You aren’t supposed to be roasting me unless I ask for it…”
“Brad, I’m serious about knowing someone that I think is perfect for you,” Angelo continues. “Why won’t you give me a chance to just introduce you? You already know her…”
“If she was as perfect as you say she is and I already know her, then wouldn’t I be with her already? I’m not completely blind to everyone.”
“No, because you always go for the wrong girls. Look, Brad, we want you to be happy.” My other brother’s nod, agreeing with Angelo’s concern. “We don’t want you to be lonely, and we want you to just open your mind a little bit…”
“I don’t want to hear it.” I sink the rest of my beer in a heartbeat. “Let me just go out somewhere. I can’t sit around in the house and listen to you guys giving me this
shit.”
“Brad, you’re taking my intentions all wrong. All I want to do is help…”
But I’m already out the door, heading to the night club, needing loud music and beer as a distraction from this nightmare. While I’m already struggling with my age and my life, I don’t need my brother’s piling on. Even if their intentions are all good.
A beautiful woman grinds against me, making it obvious that she wants me. She has that cheeky glint in her eye and I know for certain that I could take her into the bathrooms and she would have my cock in her mouth for an instant, giving me a much needed release…
So, why am I doing that already? What is going on with me?
It seems that my age and the little chat that I had with my brother’s before is still affecting me, playing on my mind. All my brothers were given the chance to work for the family company when they got old enough, but Angelo was the first one to go for it. He was excited to work with me. Oliver enjoys it now, but he only came along when the times got tough. Me and Angelo are probably closer than any of my other brothers, so he knows me the best.
I have to admit that I’m a little intrigued by this so called perfect woman that he has found for me. Is she really beautiful and smart? Could I have something in common with her? Because I know that so far I don’t with any of the women, just like I didn’t have it with Maria, Rebecca, Sally, or any of the other one night stands I’ve had. But then, I also have to worry about the factor that might put me off her. If he hasn’t introduced her to me already, or pointed her out since I ‘already know her’ then it must be bad.
“Hey, handsome.” The stranger’s hand slides down my body where she cups my bulge without a moment of hesitation or being shy. “Are we ready to get out of here?”
She drags her tongue along her painted red lips, trying to lure me in. There’s a part of my brain that is definitely up for it, the carnal, primal lust that wants to celebrate my birthday in style, but I can’t go through with that.
“Er, no, I need to speak to my brother.” I push her off me. “I will… be back.”
She yells something nasty for me as I leave, which only confirms that she definitely isn’t the woman for me, not that I needed the confirmation.
No, what I need is Angelo.
“Hey, buddy.” I grab my brother and spin him around to face me. The glazed overlook tells me all I need to know… he’s wasted. “You know what, never mind.”
“Brad.” He grabs my arm and pulls me back to him. “You want to meet her, don’t you? The girl, I mean. You want to meet the person that I believe is perfect for you. Well, I will bring her to you on Monday morning…”
“We’ll be at work on Monday morning…”
“Yes, I will bring her to you then.” He shoots me a playful wink. “Don’t worry, I won’t tell the rest of the guys. I know it’s a bit… embarrassing.”
