Sold at the Games

  “But how do you see this working,” she asked. “The day to day stuff, the routine.”

  “Oh, I don’t like the routine,” I confessed. “Too dull, too boring. No, I don’t want to sit around in sweatpants watching Netflix and eating Ben and Jerry’s. I like a proper night out dressed in nice clothes with good food. Life’s too short to lounge around the house watching sitcoms.”

  “Well, I think that’s something we can both agree on,” she said, clinking our glasses again. “I wonder which one of you I can drag to go shopping.”

  “Oh, that would definitely be me,” I admitted.

  “Really? You like to shop?”

  “Oh, I love it. Nothing better than getting that perfect pair of slacks and matching shirt on a day when the store is doubling its coupons,” I said. “Amazon and online shopping has turned the art of going to a mall to get a great deal on a suit into savagery.”

  Belinda laughed effortlessly. Oh, how I loved her laugh. Her smile lit up a room, but her laugh--- It filled the room with air and sunshine. How did I not meet this woman sooner?

  Normally, I would be quite anxious. The worry about keeping a woman like this would weigh down on me. But with Miles and Franklin in my corner, the weight seemed to be lifted. I had back up! The pressure wasn’t all on me anymore and I could finally relax and be myself.

  Belinda and I spent a relaxing hour or so in the hot tub. I massaged her feet underneath the bubbles and we drank just a little too much champagne.

  “Theo, I’ve come to a decision,” she said suddenly. “I don’t care what anyone thinks. This relationship is perfect. I want it to continue. It’s moving a little fast, but I think people in love generally do that, right?”

  “You love me?” asked Theo. “And Miles and Franklin.”

  “Yes, I do,” she said. “I never loved anyone as much as I love the three of you.”

  Chapter 15 – Belinda

  I couldn’t believe I was saying the words, but there I was. I was in love with three men. I probably should’ve waited to be in front of all of them, but it seemed like a moment best lived through Theo. AKA: Mr. Romance.

  “Let’s drink to our new found happiness, darling,” he smiled.

  Theo topped off our champagne glasses. Between the hot water and the alcohol, I was getting kind of tipsy.

  “To love,” he toasted simply, clinking glasses.

  “To love,” I said back.

  We drank and then kissed. Theo was a romantic kisser. It was a light kiss that felt spontaneous and full of energy. It was like you never knew when it was going to happen. That’s what was so great about being around him.

  “So, did I miss anything at lunch?” he asked.

  I must’ve blushed and I definitely looked away embarrassed.

  “Why? What happened?” he laughed.

  “It got very sexual,” I laughed. “I’m so embarrassed now.”

  “It got very sexual?” he said, confused. “How? Where? Did you guys get a second room?”

  “No, in the restaurant,” I said giggling.

  “What kind of restaurant is this hotel running?” said Theo, pretending to be outraged. “I have to talk to the manager or see about having condoms brought to every table.”

  I was laughing so hard, I snorted. This caused me to laugh even more. That was the most embarrassing story now. I felt I owed it to Theo to tell it. I mean, I wasn’t just going to be Miles and Franklin’s girl, I was going to be his too. He should know everything. Not that I thought he’d object, but I thought he might be weirded out by the entire event.

  “Okay, so Franklin asked me about sexual fantasies I had and I couldn’t think of one,” I began.

  Now Theo laughed.

  “What?”

  “You’re basically having a sexual fantasy, I thought,” he laughed. “It’s like you’re in the middle of one and he asks you what your fantasy is.”

  “No, listen,” I said, trying not to laugh. “That’s not the weird part, okay? Plus the waiter was there.”

  Theo laughed even harder.

  “He didn’t do anything, he was just--- Will you let me tell this story?” I insisted.

  Theo composed himself.

  “All right, all right, I’m sorry,” he said trying not to laugh. “What happened?”

  “You make it sound worse than it was,” I laughed. “I’m trying to tell you!”

  I was wheezing a bit and laughing at the same time. Finally, I composed myself and started the story over again.

  “So Franklin asked me what my sexual fantasy was---“

  Theo started laughing. Then I started giggling. We had the giggles now. I was never going to get through this.

  “Let’s have some more champagne,” I suggested.

  “Yes, that’ll help!” Theo said sarcastically.

  He grabbed the bottle and poured. It was just about gone at this point. Jeez, we knocked out a whole bottle between us. I must’ve been drunk.

  “So Franklin asks me about my sexual fantasies and I wimp out. Can’t think of any,” I explain.

  “Even though you’re living it. Right,” agreed Theo.

  “Right,” I said finally getting past this point of the story. “Then the waiter comes over— No wait, before that. Franklin’s like, can I finger you under the table?”

  Theo burst out laughing again.

  “No, wait. You’re gonna make me laugh. Let me tell it, just let me tell it already.”

  “Sorry, sorry,” he said composing himself.

  “So Franklin wants to finger me at the table,” I continued.

  “In the restaurant? In public?”

  “Yeah, I think that was the appeal for him,” I explained. “So he starts doing it and part of it is, I can’t let on that he’s doing it. So the waiter comes back.”

  “You people are insane,” said Theo, making a face. “I am so glad I missed lunch, now.”

  Theo said that, but it was all in good fun. I almost started laughing, but I forced myself to finish the story.

  “So, he’s fingering me under the table while we’re ordering the food and Miles is whispering to me not to cum, but it was kinda hot.”

  “You are a maniac,” said Theo. “Such a voyeur. I never suspected.”

  “It wasn’t my fantasy, but it really got me going,” I admitted. “That’s why we ran back to the room to have sex.”

  “Wow, it’s good to know,” laughed Theo. “I feel like I dropped the ball here, that I at least should’ve fingered you in the hot tub.”

  “You can if you like,” I invited.

  “But what is your fantasy?” he asked.

  “I’m too embarrassed,” I said.

  “After that story?” laughed Theo. “After having sex with three men at the same time?”

  “It’s still embarrassing. I can’t.” I insisted.

  “Oh, come on, darling. Seriously,” he said. “What happened to honesty?”

  “Promise you won’t think it’s weird,” I said.

  Theo laughed uproariously.

  “You let Franklin finger you in front of a waiter.”

  “He didn’t see. You have to promise.”

  “I promise and I can’t imagine I would,” he said.

  “I want two men inside at once,” I admitted.

  It was something I’d always fantasized about and heard about, but I’ve never done.

  “Darling, you’ve had three men inside you!”

  “No!” I said lowering my voice a little. “The same hole.”

  Theo got very quiet and looked away a moment.

  “Oh, God, you think it’s weird,” I said, worried. “Do you think it’s weird?”

  “No, I’m actually very turned on by this,” admitted Theo.

  “Oh, I can, uh, see that,” I said.

  Theo now had a very visible erection.

  “You want me to take care of that for you?” I asked seductively.

  “Yes, but not here,” said Theo. “I want to be one o
f the guys that double ups inside you.”

  “Absolutely,” I said. “God, I’m getting all worked up again, just thinking about it.”

  “Let’s go back to the room!”

  We quickly got out of the tub, got dried off and headed back to the penthouse. I was about to live another sexual fantasy.

  Chapter 16 – Belinda

  We got back to the suite. I couldn’t believe it, but I was wound up again. Fortunately, this time, I had myself under control.

  “Guys, I’ve decided to be your girlfriend,” I announced.

  A cheer rang out. I gave each of my men a kiss.

  “I want us to be together in a real relationship,” I said. “I don’t care what anyone else thinks or says about it. This is ours and this is real.”

  “Well, we have to celebrate,” said Franklin. “Let’s have dinner.”

  “I knew you were there,” said Miles. “I had a feeling. Nice job, Theo. Mr. Romance!”

  “Oh, and another thing guys,” I added. “I figured out my sexual fantasy.”

  Franklin looked at Theo. He toasted him with a whiskey glass.

  “Theo, you are the man!” he laughed.

  “Here-here,” added Miles.

  Theo bowed humbly.

  “Well,” he said. “I try.”

  “I want two of you inside me at once,” I explained. “But this time, same hole.”

  “Damn, girl,” said Franklin. “You just can’t get enough.”

  Miles and Franklin started to stand, but I put my hands up.

  “Wait-wait-wait, not yet,” I insisted. “I think we should have dinner first. Draw out the anticipation a bit.”

  “Aw,” said Miles. “You sneaky, little minx This is your version of fingering under the table.”

  “Yeah, I guess it is,” I laughed.

  “Oh, man,” said Franklin. “Well, turnabout is fair play. Give me a chance to recover, baby. You damned near drain the life out of me last time.”

  “Oh, I’m gonna drain you again, big man,” I assured him. “Better rest up.”

  I bit my bottom lip and licked my lips.

  “Hot damn,” muttered Franklin. “I may need a cold shower before dinner.”

  “I definitely need to fresh up,” said Theo.

  “You just got out of a hot tub,” I reminded him.

  “I know, but I need to redo my hair and clothes,” he assured. “A look like this just doesn’t happen.”

  Theo looked great. He knew how to put together his clothes and hair. Still, I didn’t want to bruise his ego.

  “Fair enough,” I said. “Just let me pop in there and fix my makeup. I’ll go downstairs and get us a table.”

  “I’ll go with you,” said Miles, joking around. “I’m always ready, unlike these ladies.”

  “Hey, I’m watching a sports team,” reminded Franklin. “That zinger don’t work on me, pal.”

  “Fair enough,” said Miles.

  “Don’t eat too much fellas, tonight is going to make our previous night’s together look like Netflix and chill,” I said. “You’re gonna need a lot of oysters.”

  I got changed and fixed myself up. Franklin’s personal shopper had picked out another killer dress for me. It was bright yellow with black polka dots. It form fitted me like a second skin. I felt like a fashion model.

  “You ready, Miles?” I asked coming out of the bathroom.

  “Oh, my, yes,” he said eyeing me up. “You boys better hurry. I might have to ravage her in the elevator.”

  Miles and I got into the elevator of the hotel. This was happening. They were my boyfriends now.

  “So, what did it for you?” asked Miles. “What finally made you take the plunge with us?”

  “Honestly,” I said. “It was that first night when you guys all explained why it would be perfect. I just--- I just never felt so treasured and wanted, you know?”

  “You are wanted, baby. Always,” said Miles.

  I teared up a little and kissed him. Miles was so great. They all were.

  Getting out on the first floor, we made our way toward the restaurant. Miles pulled me into the alcove to steal a kiss. It was sensual. He had somehow kicked up his kissing game or something and Miles was a great kisser already.

  “Oh, no,” I said. “I think I need to hit the restroom to fix my makeup.”

  “No worries,” assured Miles. “I’ll get us a table. You go on.”

  I went into the ladies room and started fixing my makeup. That’s when Arianna suddenly stormed in behind me.

  “Oh, hi,” I smiled.

  “Don’t you say hi to me!” she said angrily. “My brother’s in love with you and this is the way you treat him?!”

  “No-no,” I stammered. “It’s not like that. I do love, Theo!”

  “I saw you kissing that other man, you whore! You cheat on him right inside the same hotel?! Are you out of your mind?!”

  “No! Arianna! Please. You have to listen!”

  “Get away from me! I’m going to tell him and anyone else that will listen. You make me sick.”

  I was so flustered and she just stormed out. This is exactly what I didn’t want. People judging me. How could people possibly understand this relationship? With three men, what was I thinking? I love them, but society will never accept us.

  Even after she talks to Theo, it’ll probably upset him. And his parents. Everyone’s parents. They’d never understand. Oh, what have I gotten myself into?! It’s insane.

  No, wait. I love them. I truly do. They’re all perfect for me.

  Oh, God, listen to yourself. “They” are all perfect. Does that sound like a sane person?!

  This went back and forth in my head for a couple of minutes. I really didn’t know what to do. Finally, I concluded there was only one thing to do, talk to the guys and figure this out. Even if this relationship wouldn’t work, they were still my friends. We shared a lot. If I talked to the guys, we would--- They would--- Something would work out.

  I looked in the mirror, I had cried off my makeup again. I composed myself and fixed myself back up.

  “You can do this, Belinda,” I said to myself. “You can cope with this. Whatever happens. You’re strong!”

  For good or ill, I walked out of the bathroom prepared to face the music.

  Chapter 17 – Miles

  I went into the restaurant and got the four of us a good table. Nice view, away from the rest of the diners, but not too far from the wait staff. Theo and Franklin joined me almost immediately.

  “Where’s Belinda?” asked Franklin.

  “Fixing her makeup,” I said. “She wants to look perfect for us. Who won the game?”

  “To tell you the truth,” said Franklin. “I kinda tuned out after her announcement. I don’t even know.”

  “I know, right?” agreed Theo. “This girl’s in my head. Not like any other girl before.”

  “How the hell am I going to get any work done?” wondered Franklin. “That look she gave me when she bit her lip? Holy shit, I thought I would lose it. If she told me to jump out a window, I think I would do it. I’ve just never been in love like this.”

  “The interesting thing is,” I noted. “It seems like the more we get to know her and the more time we spend together, the more I want to be with her. That’s weird, right?”

  “It is and it isn’t,” noted Franklin. “I mean, I know what you mean. Previously relationships, it always seem to fade right at the beginning, right? Nothing’s better than that first night. New person. You get to know them…”

  “But it’s all downhill from there,” added Theo. “It’s funny. I always used to get bored, but with Belinda, it’s like peeling an onion. There are always other layers. New things to discover about her.”

  “Plus the arrangement between the four of us,” agreed Franklin. “At first, I thought I’d be fighting over the time with her, ya know? Competing with you guys, but I’m actually glad to have you guys around. I’m sure the hot tub operation would’ve
blown up in my face.”

  “Oh, it was nothing a little champagne can’t fix,” assured Theo. “Speaking of.”

  Theo flagged down a waiter and began ordering a bottle of champagne. He asked about the prices.

  “Don’t worry about the prices,” I said.

  “We got it, we got it,” Franklin assured. “Just order the best.”

  “All right,” said Theo. “I’ve always wondered what ten thousand dollar champagne taste like.”

  “Doesn’t even bother me,” said Franklin. “You know my ex-wife used to want things like that, but I hated giving them to her. I thought it was frivolous and stupid. But with Belinda, I just want to see the smile on her face.”

  “I hope it’s a big smile,” muttered Theo.

  “Speaking of being competitive,” I said. “I think it’s pretty clear who won the bet between us. I convinced her to give us a chance.”

  “What about operation hot tub?” asked Franklin.

  “C’mon, she was on board during the skydiving,” I assured him. “Plus in the elevator a few minutes ago.”

  “Wait a minute,” said Franklin. “What did she say, exactly?”

  “She said it was that first night when we all explained ourselves,” I said.

  Theo looked confused.

  “Which was my idea!” I reminded him.

  “Technically, it was,” said Theo. “I guess you win the bet.”

  “Yeah, but what did it have to do with skydiving,” asked Franklin.

  “When you’re falling out of the sky, things become apparent,” I assured him. “That’s how I knew it was for real and she confirmed it in the elevator when she kissed me.”

  Franklin shook his head.

  “Look, I’m not following, but if I pay you can we end this conversation?” he asked.

  “C’mon, fellas, give me some credit,” I said.

  “I’m not following either,” said Theo. “Here’s your money.”

  The guys got out their wallets and paid me.

  “A pleasure doing business gents,” I said, making a big deal of it. “Anytime you want to bet about Belinda, just let me know.”

  Unfortunately, as I finished that sentence I realized Belinda was walking up to the table looking very upset.
