I rolled over, sighing as images of Victoria filled my mind. Her smile, the look of pleasure on her face, the sweetness and concern in her eyes when we talked about our clients. I couldn’t help but smile when I thought about that, though it kept me awake and tormented for what seemed like hours.
It was a while later that I heard the bedroom door open, and I looked over to see her standing there in the doorway.
“Victoria,” I said softly.
She came to me, standing beside the bed, looking down at me shyly.
“Do you believe me?” she asked.
“Believe what?”
“That he—that Jacob hurt me,” she said. “Do you believe me? Or do you believe my brother?”
“Come here, Victoria,” I said, pulling her into the bed with me, nuzzling her neck before planting a soft kiss there. “I believe you. I know you’re telling the truth.”
“I’m sorry about Xavier,” she said after a moment. “I’m so sorry. I don’t know why I did that.”
“Because you love him,” I said to her.
She lifted her face, giving me a sharp look, but when she opened her lips to speak, I pressed my fingers to them.
“Do you really love me, Victoria?” I asked her.
She nodded, kissing the tips of my fingers.
“Are you my angel?” I asked.
She nodded again, kissing me once, then twice. “I’m yours,” she said. “I love you.”
I kissed her again, tasting her mouth, slipping my tongue between her lips to tease hers. She responded eagerly, wrapping her arms around me as she molded her body against mine. I could feel her hips grinding against me and knew how wet she was, how ready she was, just from the way she was breathing. I reached down to pull her nightgown up over her hips, then over her head so she was naked beneath me. I wanted to touch her all over, to worship her, and I did just that as I ran my hands over her perfect body, her soft, delicate skin. I cupped her ass in my hands, pulling her hips against mine, feeling her press against my hard cock, her moisture leaking through my sleep pants. I slipped out of them, desperate and eager to be inside of her. It had only been a couple of days, and yet it felt like an eternity since I’d touched her, something I desperately needed to do.
“I love you,” I said, kissing her cheek, then her neck as I slid my cock deep into her already soaking wet pussy. I started to grind slowly inside of her just the way she liked it, pressing against the back of her channel, my fingers slowly stroking her clit in circles, teasing her. I liked to do things slowly, take my time with her, and it seemed the longer I dragged it out, the harder she came for me. I rode against her slowly, using her hips to lift them against mine, moving her in a rhythm with my body. She moved with me perfectly, gracefully as a dancer, her mouth locked with mine as I made love to her slow and deep.
When we were finished, she lay on top of me, dozing as I stroked her spine with my fingertips.
“Is this it, Victoria? Are you mine?”
She lifted her head to look into my eyes, her own lids sleepy and low.
“Do you want me to be?”
“Yes,” I said. “Yes, absolutely.”
She smiled. “Then I’m yours.”
“Good,” I said, pulling her back down onto my chest. We fell asleep peacefully, and in the morning when we woke up we made love one more time before begrudgingly getting out of bed to go to work. I had no idea what was going to happen—we’d spoken briefly to the leader of the board last night once the cops were called, so they had a heads-up, but other than that, I didn’t know what to expect. I was only glad that I had Victoria there with me to help calm my nerves.
We got to the office early, holding hands in the elevator, kissing frequently as it went up. It was like we couldn’t stop touching each other, and I’d never felt more blissfully happy in my life than in that moment. The feeling stopped as soon as the elevator opened, and I saw Xavier there with two boxes in his arms. His eyes met mine, and Victoria and I broke apart.
“Hi,” he said.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m getting out of here,” he said. “I know you said you were going to, but I figured—you can keep this place. It was mostly your idea.”
“It was both of our ideas,” I said to him.
“It’s better if I leave,” Xavier said, glancing at Victoria. “I’m glad—I’m glad you’re both happy.”
“You can’t go, Xavier,” Victoria said in a desperate, pleading voice. “I’ll go.”
“Let’s go into my office and talk about this,” I said to them. Xavier hesitated, but nodded, following us into my office, where I closed the door and took one of the boxes from him.
“Nobody is going anywhere,” I said to him. “We can figure this out.”
“Louis, there’s nothing to figure out,” Xavier said. “We can’t continue this way. You know we can’t. And I—I just can’t—I can’t see you two together like this. I’m sorry.”
“Xavier,” she said. “I’m sorry, I—”
“I love you,” he said to her, and I saw her flush deeply in surprise. She gaped at him, her mouth open. He turned to me. “I really am sorry, Louis. I never wanted this to happen. But I have to get out of here.”
“We can figure this out,” I said, hoping I didn’t sound like I was pleading. I’d thought about leaving myself, about picking up and letting him keep the firm, staying with Victoria and staying away from my friend. But the thought of really losing him made me feel like I was being torn apart.
Xavier shook his head, a sad look on his face.
“You two were meant for each other. I’m not coming between that,” he said. I opened my mouth to protest but he put his hand up to cut me off, looking at Victoria. He leaned in then and kissed her softly on the cheek, then reached forward to shake my hand. I took his and held it firmly.
“Don’t do this, Xavier,” I said.
He sighed, pulling his hand away, and picked up his boxes. “I’ll see you around,” he said and disappeared from the room, leaving me in stunned silence with Victoria.

Victoria
Hi,” I said.
There was a pause on the other end of the line.
“Hello, Victoria,” came Xavier’s voice. My heart fluttered when he said my name. Just the sound of his voice brought butterflies to my stomach. “How are you?”
“I’m okay,” I said, swallowing hard. I hadn’t really known how this conversation would go, hadn’t really planned it other than to force myself to make the phone call. “How are you?”
“I’m fine,” he said, then paused. “Is there something you need?”
“I was—I was wondering if—if we could meet,” I said to him, “if you would come over.”
“You want me to come over?” he said slowly, as if he didn’t understand the words. “To your house?”
“Yes,” I breathed. “I just—I really want to talk to you and I think it should be in person.”
“What exactly do you want to talk about?” he asked.
I hesitated to say it, to tell him the truth of it over the phone, but then the words came out before I could stop them. “I love you. I miss you.”
“Oh,” he said, and I heard him take a deep breath. For a moment, I was afraid that he would say no, that he had moved on already and wasn’t interested in seeing me at all. But then he spoke again, and a palpable relief passed through me.
“Yes. Sure. Okay.”
“Good,” I said. “Will you come over tonight?”
“Yes,” he said, then hesitated. “Will, um—will Louis be there?”
“No,” I lied. “No, it’ll just be me.”
“Okay,” he said, and I noticed that he sounded slightly disappointed. Neither Louis nor I had seen Xavier since he’d quit, something I knew was tearing Louis apart. No matter how hard he tried to be himself, to be jolly and bright and happy, something had dimmed inside of him when his best friend had walked away, and I couldn’t sit back and
watch it happen anymore.
“I’ll see you in a couple of hours,” I said to him, and he agreed and hung up. I got up off the couch and went into the bedroom, where Louis was taking a nap. I crawled into bed with him and nuzzled his shoulder, and then kissed his lips when he opened his eyes.
“Hi, baby,” I said to him.
“Hi, angel,” he said without smiling. There was a serious look on his face, lines between his brow where he had a permanent look of worry, concern and regret there. It broke my heart to see it, something that only solidified the hard decision that I was going to have to make.
“Wake up,” I said to him, kissing his lips.
He did smile then, rolling me underneath him, slipping his cock inside of me without hesitation. It was an easy rhythm, our natural stride, and it almost made me ache to think that it would be the last time for us. I threw myself into it, taking his cock as deep as I could, tasting his mouth as I moaned for him again and again. Afterward, we took a shower, and he was still in the bathroom shaving when the doorbell rang.
“Who is that?” he called.
“I don’t know,” I said, my heart racing as I went to answer it. My stomach did a flip when I saw Xavier on the other side, especially when he wrapped his arms around me and pressed me backward into the apartment, taking my mouth in a kiss.
“Xavier, wait,” I said, pushing him back from me. It was then that Louis walked out of the bathroom, his eyebrows raised.
“What—”
“What’s going on?” Xavier asked, exchanging a glance with Louis. “I thought he wasn’t going to be here.”
“Uh, Victoria?” Louis asked.
“I wanted to talk to you both,” I said to them quickly. “Together. I’m sorry. I had to.”
“Victoria—” Louis began.
“No, I knew you would say no if I tried to arrange this meeting in any other way, so both of you sit down and listen to me.”
They looked at each other, and I watched as Louis reluctantly sat down on the couch. Xavier stayed standing, not sitting down, not making a move to go to either one of us.
“What’s this about, Victoria?” Xavier asked.
I took a deep breath. “I’m leaving Louis,” I said, then quickly added. “But not for you, Xavier. I’m not going to be with either one of you.”
The words hurt as they came out, hurt even worse when I saw the look on Louis’s face, as if he had been broken.
“What?” he asked.
“I can’t do this,” I said. “I can’t be with one of you while the two of you aren’t talking. I won’t be the end of your friendship.”
“Victoria, we figured this out. You and Louis should be together.”
“No,” I said firmly. “No, I—I love you both.”
I looked at Louis then. “I am so sorry, Louis. I didn’t want any of this to happen. I didn’t want to fall for either one of you.”
“So you’re done with us both?” he asked. I nodded, trying to fight back the tears that were threatening to rise.
“No,” Xavier said. “No, I’m not going to let this happen. This is because of me.”
“Xavier…”
“Why don’t you just have both of us?” Louis asked. The room went quiet and we both stared at him.
“What?” Xavier asked. Louis stood up, looking at his friend.
“I want Victoria. Do you want Victoria?”
“Yes, but—”
“Victoria, do you want us both?”
“Yes,” I said, gazing at him, unable to look away.
“Xavier,” Louis said. “If she’s willing to do this, I’m willing to do this. I want you in my life. Both of you. I can’t imagine living without either one of you.”
Xavier stared at him and they remained connected for a moment, then he nodded, turning to me.
“You don’t have to do this,” Louis said in a gentle voice. “Not if you’re not—”
I cut him off by kissing him, sucking on his bottom lip. At the same time, I took Xavier’s hand in mine, pulling him toward me.
“Yes,” I said against Louis’s lips, then turned to take Xavier’s mouth in a kiss as well. “Yes.”
Xavier nodded again, wrapping his arms around me as he responded to the kiss. His kiss was ragged and hungry, untamed, while Louis’s was slow and luxurious. I switched back and forth between them, tasting them both, even as Louis slipped out of his towel and was completely naked. He looked up at Xavier, who reached down and peeled off his own shirt, tossing it aside. I looked at them both, filled with lust. Both of them perfect and delicious in their own way. I led them both into the bedroom and stood there while Xavier pulled off my dress, leaving me naked in front of them.
“You are so perfect,” Xavier said.
I smiled at him as he pushed me back onto the bed and they crawled in on either side of me, their hands roaming over my body. I turned my face to kiss Louis, feeling Xavier’s lips on my throat before he moved them down and down again, kissing my hard nipple with his soft mouth. He took it between his lips and started to suck on it, making me moan into Louis’s mouth. Louis grinned, his hand roaming down my body, over my stomach to tease the curls above my soaking slit. I moaned when he stroked my clit with one fingertip, breaking away from my kiss to take my other nipple between his lips. They both sucked on my breasts at once, teasing me with their tongues while Louis played between my legs, simply stroking the outer lips of my pussy with the tips of his fingers.
“God,” I breathed, feeling the pleasure build within me already. I felt like I could come just from their mouths tasting my breasts. Xavier’s hand joined Louis’s and then they were both stroking me, just teasing, working together to bring me to a frenzy.
“Stop,” I panted, and they both chuckled as Louis brought his mouth lower and lower, kissing just above my slit.
“Have you gotten to eat her pussy yet?” he asked Xavier, who shook his head, a look of potent lust in his eyes. Louis gestured between my legs and Xavier grinned, making his way down there, pulling my legs apart and nuzzling the inside of my thigh. I could feel his breath on my clit as he started to lap at my pussy from the bottom to the top of my slit, teasing my bud in a circle whenever he got to the top. Louis kissed me then, allowing me to moan into his mouth as Xavier started to eat me in earnest, spreading my legs far apart so I couldn’t shut them against the insane pleasure that he was bringing me.
Xavier buried his tongue inside of me, lapping at me from the inside while I squirmed on his mouth, desperate for more. My hand found Louis’s cock and wrapped around it, tugging on it insistently, making it even harder in my palm.
“You want to be fucked now?” he asked, his voice sounding a lot like Xavier’s harsh tone. It made me tremble all over to hear him like that, gruff and dirty and demanding.
“Yes,” I said, and Xavier lifted his head to climb over my body and kiss me. He rolled over on his back and I stared down at him as he gestured for Louis to do the same. They lay side by side with me between them, looking down at them both, suddenly shy.
“Come here,” Louis said, taking my hips in his hands, pulling me on top of him. He used his cock to tease my slit, sliding the head of it up and down, bumping my clit with it before sliding it deep inside of me, filling me up. I instinctively started to rock back and forth on top of him, forgetting my shyness. I bounced on his cock, taking him deeply as my hand traveled over to Xavier to take his length in my palm. I stroked him up and down as I rode Louis, switching back and forth between kissing them, tasting each of their mouths in rich, sensual kisses. I’d never felt so good before, so loved and desired as I did riding on Louis’s lap while Xavier kissed me desperately. After a few moments, he lifted my hips, pulling me on top of him to replace Louis’s cock with his own. He started to move my hips roughly on top of him, bouncing me hard, hitting the back of my pussy full-force.
“God, that looks fun,” Louis growled.
Xavier grinned, lifting me off him, passing me to Louis, who flipped
me onto my back.
“She likes it rough,” Xavier said. “Did you know that?”
“I didn’t know that,” Louis said.
“Show him how hard you like to be fucked, Victoria,” Xavier commanded.
I whimpered in response, digging my nails into Louis’s back as he filled me up with his cock. His hips started to move hard and fast, jerking inside of me, filling me up again and again. I’d never felt such force from him and it made me want more and more, made me want to take him as deep and rough as possible. I dug my nails into his back, pulling his hips against mine as he rode against me as hard as he could. I turned to meet Xavier’s eye, holding it as Louis fucked me good and hard. Xavier kissed me just as I started to come, my hips bucking and jerking up against Louis, moaning steadily against Xavier’s lips. Louis continued to move against me until I was finished, then he pulled away before coming.
“Slow,” he said to Xavier, who nodded and took his place.
He slipped inside of me without hesitation, just seconds after Louis had pulled out, and started to ride against me in a slow, easy way, allowing me to catch my breath even as my orgasm started to build again. It felt like almost more pleasure than I could possibly take and yet it was so good that there was no way to stop it, no way I ever wanted it to end. I looked into Louis’s eyes, pulling him forward, wrapping my hand around his cock to pull his hips toward my face.
“Victoria—” he started, but stopped when I took him into my mouth, sucking on him eagerly as Xavier took his time in my pussy.
I traced the bottom of his cock with my tongue, teasing him, sucking only on the head for a moment. My eyes were closed as Xavier started to rub my clit, and I moaned loudly when he sped his hand up, shuddering and coming again on his cock. The sound of my pleasure made Louis freeze, his come erupting on my tongue even as Xavier came inside of me. I trembled as pleasure ripped through me, swallowing the warm seed while Louis pulled out of my mouth.
They both settled down on either side of me, their bodies wrapped around mine. I stroked both of their heads, feeling warm and full, complete for the first time.
