“What about your parents, Bryan?”
“They live on the west coast. Haven’t seen them for years.”
I must have looked surprised because he went on.
“They don’t approve of my lifestyle.”
“What, that you’re a builder?”
“No, that I sleep with men.”
“Oh, sorry, wasn’t thinking.” I cocked my head and looked at him. “But surely after a while they’d get used to it?”
He shrugged. “Beats me. I left when I was twenty. Haven’t seen them since I was twenty-eight. They know where I live, if they want, they can contact me.”
It was mine turn to feel sorry. I squeezed his hand.
“Did you get your problem sorted out on the other job site?”
“Yeah, some contractors are hopeless at reading plans.”
“How long have you both been working for B.A.C.?”
It was the men’s turn to blush. Marco laughed and looked over at Bryan.
“Actually, we own it.”
“You own it?”
Bryan answered. “Yeah. I started the business when I got my trade certificate. Started getting work, building it up, and looked around for some staff. I put an ad in the local paper.”
“And I answered. The rest, as they say, is history.”
“I hired Marco. I was attracted to him from day one but didn’t want to wreck things because he was, and is, a damn good builder. We skirted around our attraction for a few years.”
“Only because Bryan was too shy to see. I wanted him at once. Took the fool two years before he realised it. By then the business was booming and I had bought into it as his partner. We renamed it after ourselves—Bryan and Campione.”
“Why not Bryan and Marco?”
“B.A.M.?” Marco rolled his eyes.
“Mm…see what you mean.”
“Anyway, we’ve been together ever since.” He looked over at Bryan, his face filled with love.
“So how long have you been together?”
Bryan answered with a grin. “Just over fifteen years. Mind you, he drives me crazy.”
“Ah, Bryan, you love me.”
Bryan lifted his eyebrow and grinned. He looked at me and whispered.
“I do, but don’t tell him that.”
We all laughed and at last, I felt completely relaxed. We talked about nothing exciting but it was good. We discussed books and movies. Discovered we shared some likes and some hates. They both loved that I was a sci-fi nut, we spend at least half an hour arguing about Star Wars. It was wonderful.
We finished our main meal and Bryan decided he wanted dessert. Marco said he would, too, and they both looked at me. Now I love dessert, in fact, I could forgo the rest of the meal and just skip to the end, but I was trying to be ladylike.
“Of course she will. What would you like, babe?”
“I don’t know.”
“Do you like caramel? They have a salted caramel Semifreddo here that’s out of this world.”
“Okay.”
“Perfect. I’d hate to think you were one of those women who won’t enjoy a meal in case they put on weight.”
I grinned and looked down at myself.
“Er…with this padding? I don’t think so.”
“Padding? My god if that’s padding, it’s magnificent. I love your body and you should hear what Bryan was saying about it.”
I was feeling a little bolder so I looked at Bryan.
“And just what was Mr. Garrett saying about it?”
“I merely said that it was the kind of body that drove men crazy. I want to kiss every single part of it.”
“Oh.”
They just laughed at my discomfort.
The Salted Caramel Semifreddo with Salted Praline arrived shortly after. Marco was right, it was out of this world. I savoured every mouthful. I must have looked like I was in love. Bryan leant over the table with a spoonful of his and held it to my mouth. I licked it off. He gave me another and I did the same again.
Marco nudged me and held his spoon out. I opened my mouth a little and closed it over the spoon. He withdrew it slowly. I felt my pulse race. They took turns in feeding me the remainder. I was worried I was going to orgasm in the restaurant. Mind you, they looked like they might, too.
Sadly, the Semifreddo was soon finished. Regretfully they put down their spoons. I was breathing rapidly. I’m sure if we had been alone, I would have been thrown on the table and taken by them both.
The waiter broke the spell by bringing over coffee and chocolate mints for us all. I felt disappointed the magic was broken.
We drank our coffee. Bryan asked about Andy and Vince. I told them how much they meant to me. How they had been together for years and they were my best friends.
Finally, our meal was over and we stood. Marco paid the bill while Bryan and I walked outside.
“Where’s your car sweetheart?”
“Down the street, about a block in that car park.”
“Okay, we’ll walk you to it.”
Once more, they walked on either side. I was feeling very brave so I tucked my hand into an arm of each man. Both immediately covered it with their hand. We strolled to my car and I found myself disappointed that the evening was over. They stood as I unlocked and opened the door. Then Marco leaned in and kissed me. This time it wasn’t a little peck on the lips, this was a proper kiss. I was glad I could lean against him. When we parted, he handed me over to Bryan, who did the same things. My legs were in danger of turning to jelly as Bryan held my arm and helped me into the car. He leaned in through the open door and kissed me. When he stepped back, it was Marco’s turn. He even pulled my seat belt out for me before closing the door. I unwound the window and looked at them both.
“Thank you. I really had a wonderful time.”
“We’re glad. Want to do it again tomorrow night?”
I shocked myself by saying. “Oh. Yes, yes I would.”
“Okay. Anywhere in particular?”
I shook my head.
“Okay, Marco can pick and we’ll ring you to let you know where and when.”
“All right. Thanks.”
Marco made a silly bow and blew me a kiss. I started the engine and Bryan reached out and touched my arm before I drove out.
I felt like singing all the way home. I was so happy. I had done it and I had thoroughly enjoyed myself. I hadn’t freaked out. And I had another date!
With two men! I felt a little naughty and I loved it!
* * * *
“That went great!”
“I know. Marco, I really like her. I mean really like her.”
“So do I, babe, so do I. I hope we can convince her to take things further.”
“Well at least she’s agreed to another date. My god I thought I was going to come in the restaurant when she was eating our dessert.”
“Oh god, don’t remind me. I wanted to push her on the table and fuck her crazy.”
“Come on, hon, let’s go home and then you can fuck me like crazy.”
I ruffled Bryan’s hair, he was driving tonight. I truly loved the man, he was everything to me and what made it even better was he agreed with me about Harry. I just hoped we could convince her. When we had seen her at the office, we both felt that instant “pow!”
That connection!
Then Bryan had the great idea of sending Sidney on another job. That way he and I could oversee Harry’s. My god, she was even more gorgeous up close. I was so worried when we freaked her out but thank goodness those friends of hers came through.
Nice guys.
Hope they like us. Pretty important really, they’ve been her support all this time.
“How the fuck could anyone live through what Harry did and come out sane?” Bryan must have been thinking the same things as me.
“Beats me, babe. I doubt I could. No wonder she’s wary but we have to convince her that we would never do anything to hurt her.”
“Want to eat Tha
i tomorrow night?”
“All right. Let’s swing pass Thai Phoon’s and book. Only take a few minutes,”
“Okay. Then let’s get home. I need to fuck you crazy, remember?”
“How could I forget?” He gave me a grin.
He stopped outside Thai Phoon’s and I ran in and booked us for seven tomorrow night. Getting back in the car, I decided to send Harry a text message telling her where and when and to make sure she got home okay.
Bryan looked over at me and asked, “Do you think we have a chance, hon?”
“Hell I hope so. She’d be perfect for us. She makes me smile. I feel good around her. I know we’ve talked about finding someone to settle down with for ages but until Harry there just hasn’t been anyone I’ve liked enough.”
“Me neither. Well, we’ll just have to prove to her that she needs us as much as we need her.”
Another five minutes and we were home. I idly wondered what would happen if Harry did settle down with us. Here we were building a bloody extension for her at her house and yet we wanted her. Oh well time would tell, plus this was a big house on lots of land. We could build her a huge studio and she could have rooms to herself in the main house as well.
Still, I’m getting way ahead of myself. We’ve only had one date!
We walked inside.
I was tired but I wanted to cuddle with my man. Bryan went into the bathroom while I checked for messages. My phone beeped. It was Harry.
“Hey, babe. Harry said she had a wonderful time and she’s looking forward to tomorrow night. That sounds promising.”
“It does.”
I walked into the bedroom, Bryan was standing there naked, taking his watch off. I caught my breath. The guy is gorgeous. All those muscles. I walked over to him and ran my hand down his chest.
“Just wait till Harry sees you naked, she won’t be able to resist. I know I can’t.”
I pulled his head to mine and kissed him. We were both feeling a little frustrated after the dessert episode. He pulled me to him and our cocks were both hard as rocks against each other’s bodies.
He walked me backward until my legs touched the bed. I swung him around and pushed him down onto it. Tonight I was the boss, occasionally I like to top him.
He lay there, his legs still off the bed and his cock standing proudly. I walked closer and he moved up the bed to let me kneel on it, one leg on either side of his. I bent forward and kissed him again, my hand wrapped around that hard dick. I started to pump it until he groaned against my mouth.
“Babe,” I whispered. “I want to make it last, but I keep thinking about Harry and that fucking dessert.”
“So do I. I need to come now.”
He didn’t need to ask a second time. I pushed his legs up. He wrapped his arms around them. I liked that, it meant I could play with his cock at the same time as I fucked him. Standing up, I pulled him closer to the edge of the bed.
I grabbed the lube and squeeze some onto my fingers, then started playing with his arse. My other hand was pumping at his cock as I pushed two then three fingers in and moved them in and out. It didn’t take long until he was moaning loud. Usually we had a lot longer foreplay but both of us needed to come and come soon.
I held my cock at the entrance to his hole. I felt Bryan lean onto it so I thrust in, slowly to start, then built up a rhythm. At the same time, I was still pumping his cock. If we timed this right, we could come together.
“Fuck, hon, I’m too fucking close!”
“Me, too, lover. Me, too.”
My balls were slapping against his arse. I was so close. I felt his cock get harder and knew he was about to come, so I pumped hard and jerked while I pushed my cock in as hard as I could.
We were both screaming as we came. God, I love this man and love the way he comes. So loud!
I was gone. I pulled my cock out and lay beside him for a few minutes. Bryan had rolled onto his side. His face was flushed. He ran a hand across my cheeks and I caught it and kissed each finger.
“I love you, babe.”
He gave me a brilliant smile.
“I love you, too, hon.”
We lay for a few more minutes then I got up and washed. As I was coming out the bathroom he was coming in, he had our dirty clothes in his hand and threw them in the basket.
“Your turn to do the washing.”
“Thanks, babe. You say the sweetest things.”
As I walked passed him, he gave my arse a slap. I grinned. Things were so good.
Chapter Seven
I was still on a high, last night had been better than I hoped for. Marco had even sent me a text to let me know about tonight and to make sure I got home safely. I was feeling rather giggly. After a shower, I dressed and then rang Vince.
“Guess what?”
“You got laid.”
“No. Don’t be silly.”
“Sweetheart, if I’d gone out with two delicious-looking men I would hope I got laid.”
“Not if Andy had a say in it.”
“Oh he can join us.”
“You’re wicked. Anyway, I’m going out to dinner with them again tonight. Thai.”
“Girl, you sound all giggly and excited.”
“I am. Last night was great. We had fun, we talked. I loved it.”
“So tell all. Get a goodnight kiss?”
“I did. I got two from each of them.”
“Mm, something tells me you really like these guys.”
“I do, Vince, I really do. Is it wrong? I mean, to like two guys at once.”
“Doesn’t bother me. If you’re comfortable with it, then it’s right. They seem caring and I get the impression they aren’t around for what they can get.”
“I feel comfortable around them, Vince. I mean I was really nervous last night but once I got to the restaurant and relaxed, it was great. I didn’t freak out, I was too busy having fun.”
“Well just take each day as it comes, sweetheart. Enjoy. I keep telling you, you deserve to have fun and have someone love you. Maybe you could have two someones love you.”
“Oh. Do you think that’s possible? I mean…oh hell, I really like them.”
“I think you have the hots and I think they do, too. I also think if you let yourself you could fall in love for real.”
“It’s scary. I just don’t know what’s going to happen.”
“Of course it is. That’s the fun of it. You just don’t know. So you hold on and enjoy the ride.”
“I’m actually going to do some work today. I’ve nearly finished those illustrations for the Dragon book. Maybe another three hours.”
“That’s good. I promised to have them to the clients by the end of the week, so good girl.”
“You want to pick them up tomorrow or will I send them?”
“I’ll pick them up. Might catch a glimpse of the hunks.”
“Crazy man. See you then.”
“Bye Harry, love you.”
“Love you, too, bye.”
I made myself a coffee and took it into the spare bedroom. It was really crowded in there but I would be able to finish the illustrations, then I could look at what was next on the to-do list.
Around eleven the doorbell rang. It was a florist delivery. I thanked them and took an enormous arrangement of pink roses and pink peonies. It was so beautiful and smelt divine. I grabbed the card.
‘Thanks for a wonderful night, looking forward to tonight, your two men.’
I hugged myself. I felt rather giddy. I’d never had flowers from a man before. Setting the flowers on the kitchen bench where I could see them, I made a coffee, then went back to work.
Working steadily all morning, I was able to finish the paintings by one o’clock. I stood and stretched. My neck was feeling rather tight from hunching over the board. I wandered into the kitchen, then peeked out into the studio. It was impossible to see anything through the plastic. I wondered if the boys would turn up today but then thought probably not. This was not the
only job they had.
By five o’clock I was starting to feel nervous again. Silly, I know. Once more I did the “what will I wear” routine. Once more, I got caught out by the time and stayed in the last outfit. I looked in the mirror and was seriously considering changing again. I had on a pair of black slacks and a soft green-coloured top. The pants were fine, but the top. I didn’t realise just how low cut it was and how much my boobs were almost spilling out the top. I checked the clock. As it was, I was going to be late unless I caught all the lights. Damn! I grabbed a shawl and threw it across the top. That would have to do.
I had reasonable luck with the lights, it was only five past seven when I parked behind the restaurant in their carpark. I walked up the alley, pulled my shawl tight, and saw them leaning against the brickwork.
“Here she is. Hi, babe.”
“Hi Marco, hello Bryan.”
Bryan pushed off the wall and came over and kissed me. Not to be outdone, Marco pulled me tight to him and did the same. I felt rather excited. I was glad I had the shawl because I had the distinct impression my nipples would be rather obvious.
“Missed you today, sweetheart. Did you miss us even a little bit?”
I held up my thumb and forefinger.
“Just a smidgen.” I giggled. “Thank you so much for my beautiful flowers.”
“You’re welcome.” Marco laughed and grabbed my hand.
We walked into the restaurant. Bryan followed the waiter and led us to our table. It was a little square four seater so the boys sat either side of me. We picked up our menus and Bryan grinned at me when I opened my bag and waved my glasses at him. Marco looked at Bryan.
“I want some curry puffs, let’s get them and some other stuff to start.”
Bryan nodded and agreed. “Get some Lumpia, they have it here and it’s delicious.”
Feeling bold I asked, “Do they have Paper Chicken? I love that.”
Marco grinned at me and checked his menu.
“They must know our girl loves it, it’s here.”
“Good.” I got a warm feeling when Marco had said “our girl.”
The waitress came over and took our orders. I ended up having Sweet Chilli Chicken while Marco settled for a beef Red curry and Bryan braved the Green curry. When the entrees arrived, Marco made sure they placed the Paper Chicken in front of me.
