“Life just hasn’t been going my way and just when I get a little piece of happiness, I see the person who took my happiness away.”
“Wow.” The man said then and leaned back in his seat. “You’ve had it rough. I’m sorry to hear that.” He reached into his glove compartment and handed me some Kleenex. I took it from him and dabbed it on my eyes and blew my nose with it. “Don’t let what that man said to you make you feel bad about yourself. He lost something good and not the other way around. Be glad you found out what kind a man he was before you two settled down.” He was right about that because it would have hurt me more than everything if John did this to me if we were married.
“Thanks, um.” I spent all of this time talking to this man and I realized that I didn’t know his name. “I’m sorry I didn’t catch your name.” I said and I smiled sheepishly at him. The man smiled at me too.
“Edward and yours?”
“Maria, it’s nice to meet you and thank you for listening to me complain.” I began laughing out of embarrassment and relief. I couldn’t believe that I just told a complete stranger about everything that has happened to me lately. I had to admit though that it felt good telling him about it since I wasn’t trying to impress him or anything like that.
“So Maria since you’re staying with this guy wouldn’t it be wise to get your stuff from that motel? I know of the place and from what I know about it it’s not safe for a woman to be there by herself.” I was glad that Edward offered, but I still felt bad for having him waste his gas on me.
“Yeah it wasn’t the most luxurious place I’ve ever stayed at. Thank you so much for your help. Let me pay you back for paying for my food and for driving me.” I said as I began reaching into my purse. He placed his hand on mine and I blushed at how warm it was. I still wasn’t used to having other men touch me yet.
“Don’t worry about it. Let me help you out, it’s the least that I can do.” I looked at Edward then and I noticed despite how rugged he looked, he was kind underneath his exterior. I moved my hand away from my purse and fastened my seatbelt.
“Thank you.” I said again and I sat back in my seat. Edward started his car and we drove in silence to the motel.
Chapter Five
“Hey!” The receptionist called out as soon as I walked into the building. I already knew what he wanted and I was happy to know that I didn’t have to pay him another dime. “I need your money for today or you’re going to have to leave.” The man said and I walked passed him without looking at him.
“I’m not spending another day in this place so I’m not paying another dime for it.” I could tell that he had something more to say to that, but he stopped when Edward walked over to him.
“You heard the lady, she said she’s not paying.” I turned around and looked at Edward when he said that. I was taken aback when I saw that the receptionist was looking at Edward in horror.
“Oh I’m sorry man. I didn’t know she was with you.” He stammered out. I couldn’t believe this man’s change of behavior. One second he was banging on someone’s door with his hand held out and the next second he was groveling to another man. My main question was, how did Edward know the man?
“Yeah she’s with me and she told me she didn’t feel welcomed here George. Is that true?” George shook his head from left to right quickly.
“I would have treated her with the utmost hospitality if I knew she was yours, Edward. I swear!” Something about this scenario was wrong and it left me feeling uneasy.
“Do you need help carrying your things, Maria?” Edward asked and I shook my head.
“No it’s just clothes and some shoes. I can carry them.” Edward nodded his head, but he kept his eyes locked onto George’s.
“I’m going to have a little word with George, I’ll see you when you come down.” I decided that it’ll be best to leave those two to whatever Edward wanted to speak to George about. I walked away from the men and hurriedly ran up the stairs. There was definitely something not right with that situation. The two of them knew each other and it was apparent that they were not friends. I thought about Edward’s scarred skin and shivered as I walked in my room. There was definitely a hidden meaning behind Edward’s scars and I definitely didn’t want to find out what that meaning was.
“Let me do this quickly.” I felt that George was in big trouble with Edward. I didn’t particular like the greedy man, but he was scared stiff of Edward. I thought back to how Edward had spoken with John and I shivered again. Even then Edward appeared to have been ready to brawl. It was a strong possibility that Edward wasn’t as nice of a person that I initially thought him to be. Even so, I found something attractive about him. It wasn’t every day that I can spill my heart out to someone and feel completely relaxed about it. I didn’t even feel that relaxed with Eric and he was a complete sweetheart.
“I’m just confused.” I said to myself as I picked up some clothes that had fallen onto the floor. I was so used to being with one man that I didn’t know how to feel about other men that I came across. Could my attraction to Eric and Edward be because I’m on the rebound? I didn’t think that I was that horrible of a person to have sex with someone just because I was heartbroken over someone else. I shook my head and picked up my belongings. This was just too much to take in. I exited the room and I locked the door. I just wanted to be focused on the fact that I was finally out of this hellhole. I walked down the stairs slowly and went into the lobby and I walked over to where the receptionist, George, normally sat at.
“Hello?” I called out a bit surprised that George wasn’t there. I wanted to hand deliver the keys to him so that he wouldn’t pretend that I never gave them back. I looked outside towards Edward’s car and saw that he had not gotten into it. Were the two men talking still? “Hello?” I called out again a little louder this time. I heard something loud fall onto the floor and I jumped in fright. I had a very weird feeling about this. “Is everything alright back there? I heard something loud fall.” I was getting afraid then because nobody was answering me. Just when I decided to go behind the counter to make sure that everything was alright, Edward came rushing out of the backroom.
“Let’s go!” Edward said and walked around the counter. My eyes went wide when I noticed him shoving money into his pocket.
“I have to give George the keys. Is he back there?” I said and Edward took a napkin out of his pocket and grabbed the keys with it. He threw them on the counter and grabbed my arm. “Hey!” I called out when his vice like grip wrapped around my arm. He looked down at me then and I froze with fear. The look that he gave me and the way that he looked sent shivers up and down my spine.
“George had to go for a little while. He’ll get the keys.” Edward loosened his grip then and his eyes soften. “He did apologize about treating you badly.” He opened the car door for me and I hesitated to get into the car. I didn’t want to anger him because I knew if he could frighten a grown man to the point of almost pissing his pants, he could do a whole lot more to me than that.
“Thank you.” I said feebly. He started his car and he quickly sped out of the parking lot. My heart began beating hard in my chance to the point that I thought I wouldn’t be able to breathe. I kept telling myself something was wrong. I feared that he did something more than just talk to George.
“Here” Edward said as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a wad of cash.
“What is that for?” I asked baffled that he was just going to give me some money. He grinned.
“George and I spoke about a lot of things before he had to leave unexpectedly.” He said with an edge to his voice and I shivered out of fear. “I’m not the nicest man I know, but I hate it when guys take advantage of women. Especially beautiful women.” He added and he eyeballed me. The relaxed feeling that I had when I had spoken to Edward earlier was completely gone now. It was almost like it didn’t happened.
“What did you do?” I asked quietly because I was afraid that he’d be angry and
I was afraid of his response. Edward chose to ignore my question.
“After we talked, George agreed to repay you what you gave him this month and he added a little extra for your trouble.” My breath caught in my throat. I wasn’t naïve enough to be oblivious to what Edward was saying. George didn’t agree to anything like that because he was too much of an ass to do that. I knew that Edward hurt George and that sound of something heavy falling on the ground was probably George’s corpse. I couldn’t be in the car with this man because I didn’t want to end up like George. “So this man you’re living with, Eric, is he at home now.” Oh god, I gave Eric’s address to a crazy person. It was a possibility that he’d try to hurt both me and Eric. I pulled out my phone and looked at the time. I remembered Eric telling me that he wasn’t going to be gone too long today because he didn’t want to give me a bad impression.
“I’m… I’m not sure.” I said and bit my lower lip. How did I get into these situations? I looked at my phone again and decided that I’d send Eric a quick email to tell him what happened. I knew that he wasn’t going to let me stay in his house now, but if he got police to his house before we got there then he’d at the very least would be okay. I didn’t know what was on Edward’s agenda, but I didn’t want Eric to get hurt because of my mistake.
“You don’t have to email Eric, Maria.” Edward said nonchalantly. “I’ve texted him already and told him we were on our way. He should be home now” I looked at Edward in horror.
“How did you get Eric’s number?” Eric and I were in danger and it was all my fault. I should have known that his kindness was too out of the ordinary. My life was already in Edward’s hands and now I probably signed over Eric’s life to Edward as well.
“I already had it considering that he’s my brother.”
Chapter Six
When we arrived at Eric’s house and walked up to the door, I was frightened when Eric pulled the door open with anger apparent on his face. My lip quivered and I shook as I prepared myself for the verbal beating I was sure that I was going to get.
“Go get her bags out of the car idiot.” I widened my eyes when I noticed that he was staring at Edward with anger and not at me. Edward just laughed and turned around and made his way back to his car. “Are you alright? Did he hurt you?” Eric said as he took me into his arms. I wasn’t expecting this reaction from him.
“I am so sorry,” I began. “You have to get out of here. I think… I think he just killed someone.” Eric pulled me into the house when I said that, but he left his front door opened. “We have to call the police.” I pleaded with him. He shook his head and I stared at him in alarm.
“Did you see him do it?” Eric asked me then and I shook my head. “No, but I got this real bad feeling” before I could finish my statement, Edward walked in and sat my bags down.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve saw you big brother. How have you been?” Eric turned towards Edward and glared at him.
“What’s going on Edward?” Eric said and released me from his arms. I just told Eric that Edward just killed someone. How was he talking to him like I only told Eric that Edward took his car without permission?
“George from the Merriman Motel was giving Maria here a hard time. I just helped the lovely young lady out.”
“Motel? What were you doing there?” Eric turned to me and asked. I was hoping that I’d never have to tell him, but considering the situation that we were currently in, I owed him an explanation. I told Eric about John and how I’d been living in a motel from a month. I told him how I was about to become homeless because I was running out of money and nobody wanted to hire someone without job experience. I told Eric how Edward had stood up for me when John disrespected me and how he even offered to take me to get my things. By the time that I finished telling Eric everything I was sobbing. Instead of Eric kicking me out onto the street, he embraced me.
“I know that we’ve just met and you probably wanted to impress me or something like that, but you could’ve told me.” Eric stroked my hair and I gripped his back with a need that I never thought that I had in me. “So what do you want Edward?” Eric asked his brother while he held me in his arms.
“Let me talk to you for a minute.” Edward said and walked out of the Kitchen. Eric let me go and went over to the cabinet and handed a glass to me. He poured some rum in the glass and then some coke. “Drink because I know that you’ve had a long day. I’ll be back soon.” I looked after him and wondered if I should just make a b-line towards the front door, but where would I go? It was true that I didn’t see Edward murder George, but no matter how Edward cleaned up his words, I knew that he had. I drunk the contents of the cup and immediately poured me another cup. I was so confused and scared that I thought that the only way I’d be able to make it through the day was if I had more to drink. After a while, I had drained the coke and was downing the rum plain.
“You’re my kind of woman.” I heard Edward say and I turned towards the sound of his voice. He was blurry and I couldn’t make out the details of his face.
“That’s enough” Eric said and grabbed the almost empty bottle from me. Eric walked around and placed the rum back into the cabinet and Edward sat down next to me and touched my arm.
“Hey, how about you be my girl instead of Eric’s? I can take care of you much better than he could.” I looked at him wide eyed as my head swayed from side to side.
“You’re… you’re crazy.” I said, but instead of screaming like I knew sober me would have done, I clenched my thighs together instead.
“Don’t force her!” Eric yelled and Edward sighed.
“You’ll choose me after we finish.” Nothing made sense to me then. Why was Eric letting his brother speak to me like that? Why couldn’t I see them clearly? Edward pressed his mouth hard into mine and forced his tongue into my mouth. I bit his tongue and he just swiped at mine harder. I wanted to push him away, but I couldn’t. I couldn’t think anymore as he hands moved quickly over my body. Even though I was previously scared out of my mind a while ago, I couldn’t resist his hands over my body.
“If she says me then you’re not allowed to step foot near me or her again.” My mind barely processed what Eric said when he bent down and kissed my neck. I didn’t know what the brother’s had planned, but apparently this was supposed to be the deciding factor of something. Edward pulled away from me then and yanked me up which practically pushed Eric down. He sighed and followed us to the couch as he began taking off his clothes.
“What are you doing?” I asked them, but my mind was too cloudy to hear their response. I drifted in and out of consciousness as I felt gentle hands rubbing up and down my body while a rather large cock pushed itself into my mouth. I was surprised that I was growing hotter and hotter by the minute. Edward’s manhood throbbed in my mouth as he filled my tongue with his pre-cum. Eric was more gentle and considerate of me as he focused on making me feel good instead of his own orgasm.
“You got a rubber?” I heard Edward’s lust filled voice say just before my eyes closed and I shivered when Eric slid my pants down my legs. I didn’t hear Eric’s response, but I felt him shift and leaned his body towards the floor. “Move out of the way.” Edward said and I heard something being ripped opened. I opened my eyes just in time to see Edward positioning himself near the entrance of my freshly shaven love.
“Aah!” I called out as Edward slammed inside of me hard. He was the complete opposite of Eric, but he was equally as talented.
“I’m sorry.” Eric said and leaned my head back so that he could connect our mouths together. I kissed him long and hard and I felt tears well into my eyes. My fuzzy mind might not have been able to register their faces anymore, but it didn’t stop my sense of feeling. It felt so good to have Edward’s cock ramming in and out of me. It felt so good that I couldn’t remember if I hadn’t wanted him to do me or not. I looked down at Eric’s length and despite him obviously being pissed off, he was hard as a rock. I took him into my hand and
stroked him quickly.
“Fu...” Eric bit his lip and his breathing came out quicker.
“I want you.” I told him and I felt Edward shift so that he was laying on top of me. Eric stood up and I placed him into my mouth quickly and sucked him the same way that drove John crazy.
“Ah. Maria.” He said my name and grabbed a fistful of hair. I grabbed Edward’s arm with one of my hands as he continued to pound into me. Edward was amazing, but I wanted to feel that gentleness that Eric gave to me the night before. I knew it wasn’t going to happen though because I felt Eric’s hips quivering and they began thrusting in my mouth. “I’m coming!” he called out and he let out a hoarse groan as he exploded into my mouth. Edward laughed.
“Light weight,” he joked and I opened my eyes to see a serious expression on his face. “I guess I am too.” He added and gritted his teeth and pounded three deep times inside of me as he exploded. The deeper his length went, the more it pressed against my spot and I came right along with him. Breathing heavily he exited me and I could feel my juices sliding down my legs. I opened my eyes again and I was able to make out Edward a little more since he was close to my face. “So?” he asked and I looked at him. I guess that meant I had to choose one of them. Even though I was attracted to Edward for a few minutes, I couldn’t trust him. I couldn’t prove that he did anything to George, but I knew that he had. It was apparent that Eric and Edward didn’t get along either, but I knew that Edward said something to Eric to make him go along with this threesome.
“Eric” I said and leaned my head against the couch cushion.
“You heard her.” Eric said and I heard Edward growl. “I’ll keep my mouth shut, in return you never set foot around me or Maria.” Edward sighed and moved away from me. I heard clothes hurriedly being put on and movement towards the door. It slammed loudly and a few seconds after that I heard a car speed off. I opened my eyes and was surprised to see Eric still beside me. I couldn’t say anything anymore because I knew that I went over my drinking limit. Eric embraced me and I felt his hot and slick skin and I felt protected. I couldn’t begin to comprehend what had just happened between us, but I knew that as long as I was in Eric’s arms I’d be protected. I’ve seen a lot this past month and my luck didn’t appear to have gotten any better. I didn’t want to worry about that too much now because I just wanted to feel the loving touch that Eric was giving to me.
