“You’re fucking perfect, I was starving.” I stood up and pulled her into a kiss. A quick, rough hello that left her with a sweet little gasp.
I went in the bag and got one of the sandwiches. I turned to toss Tate one but he was getting his own hello kiss. We sat on the floor in front of her as she leaned against the wall, occasionally sipping her Fuze drink.
“So, how are things going? There have been so many updates I can’t keep up.” She looked between both of us.
“Pretty good. You want the whole thing or what we tell everyone?” I asked her.
She giggled and shrugged. “I don’t know. The whole thing. I’ll try to understand it.”
We both laughed. It was just adorable that she actually wanted to try and get it. I started with the structural changes, and Tate explained the plumbing and what happened with the electric. I also told her how we like to cut costs, and that we were trying to keep a lot of the original fixtures.
“Thank you. I appreciate that. I hope I can feel like she is here somehow. I know that sounds crazy.”
“It doesn’t,” we both agreed.
After we ate, we showed her all the stuff we had done and then stopped at the new main bedroom. We turned the old master into an office as she requested, and put the new bed she bought in here. This was her space now.
Mostly everything was done in here, except the bathroom. But we wouldn’t be needing that. Tate sat on the edge of the bed and took the lead, motioning for Adley to go to him. I shut the door behind us and watched them kiss.
I looked her from head to toe, stopping at her ass peeking out from the dress. I came up behind her, and bunched up the fabric to reach her cunt. I didn’t like to waste time. She was already wet, seeping through her cotton panties. I rubbed her hard and applied pressure until she moaned against Tate’s lips. I pulled her panties off and started fucking her with my fingers. Her fleshy thighs trapped my hand as she clenched. Her cunt was hot and dripping and I was rock hard, then she moved back to rub her ass against me. She rubbed Tate with her hand at the same time.
Just before she was about to come, I stopped and took her dress off. I wanted her coming on my face first. Tate moved and I grabbed her and threw her on the bed. She landed with a squeal. She smiled slightly at me as I crawled between her legs. I was pleased to find her not wearing a bra, and pinched her nipple until she groaned. Then I sucked her hot clit until it throbbed against my tongue. I licked her hard and fast; side to side, up and down, even zig zags, until she was fucking screaming as she came on my face.
I pulled back and quickly undressed, taking the condom from my pocket. Then I grabbed her thick hips and turned her over. I prompted her to suck Tate off after he undressed. I fucking love watching a woman give it and take it.
I kissed down her spine and the curve of her ass. I bit her plush ass cheek as I circled her tight hole with my finger. She froze up and I chuckled.
“Not yet, hun.” She visibly relaxed and I knew I couldn’t wait much longer for it.
I rolled the condom on and teased her entrance. She rocked back towards me and groaned. Her thighs shook and I spread them farther apart. I leaned down to palm her breasts and pinch her nipples until they were hard buds. Then I started fucking her hard.
I thrust into her balls deep, feeling her throb around me. I was stretching her to the limit and it felt fucking good. I gave it a second, and then I started going faster. I grabbed onto those wide hips of hers and really started to give it to her. She started to break away and moan loudly; I knew she was close.
I kept one hand on her breast and moved the other to her throbbing clit and pinched. It took her maybe five seconds to lose it, then she was coming again. I pulled out of her and discarded the condom.
“You want to try something?” I asked her. She barely managed a nod before I turned her around so her legs were facing the other way.
She reached for my cock but I pulled her until she was on the other edge of the bed. I laid down and settled her between my legs, then I watched her face come apart as Tate wrapped it up and then entered her.
“I’m gonna fuck your mouth, hun.”
She barely nodded before I took my cock in my hand and she took me in her mouth as far as she could. She reached for my hips but I moved her hands to the side and trapped her head between my fingers. Then, as she started to get fucked, I took off. I thrust deep into her mouth, feeling the back of her hot throat until she gagged but she urged me on.
Her hands were trapped and her mouth was mine. I saw the pleasure etch across her face as she got closer and closer. I was about to come, but I had to watch her again first. Her moans grew closer and closer and then her body froze, clenched, and then trembled between us. It was a pretty fucking sight. I came fast and hot in her mouth, and Tate went faster until he finished.
They moved so she was between us and I kissed her hard. Tasting everything, dirty and perfect.
“I…I wasn’t expecting that.” Adley had barely caught her breath.
I traced a line down the center of her body, circling her pale nipples as I looked at her.
“Coming here dressed like you were? I don’t believe you.”

Adley
To say I was surprised would be an understatement. I wasn’t disappointed either, not at all. Tate and Levi kept me on my toes, and made me forget all the pesky things swimming around in my head.
I needed that.
The water wasn’t running in the house yet so it was quite the chore trying to clean up. We walked downstairs but stopped in the foyer. They moved some things out of the path from the front door. It was hard to believe the place even looked the way it did before they started. And I had a harder time trying to envision how it would look when they were finished.
“We got you all dirty.” Levi and Tate walked me to the door. Levi smirked at me like he had a secret, and Tate just winked at me.
It made me blush. The way they looked at me like they want me naked all the time, but also like they were trying to look into my soul. It would be intense enough from one man, but I was getting it from two. And they already had seen me naked, and we had done very, very heated things together. Still, they made me nervous. Made my palms sweaty and my knees a little shaky.
“I don’t mind,” I murmured in response. I thought I was still in a daze from our romp in the bedroom. Those two had quite the stamina, and my body was just getting more and more sore every time I was around them.
They had already gotten dressed, but had more work to do on the house. I wouldn’t have anything to do if I had stayed, and I think I was more of a distraction than anything else.
They both smiled at me and then gave each other a look.
“You’re so adorable, Adley.” Tate stepped away from the threshold we were standing in—the front door hadn’t been put back on the hinges—and took my face softly in his hands as he leaned down to kiss me.
His lips coaxed across mine softly, sweetly. He pressed harder and slid his tongue into my mouth. Tate sucked on my lips until I felt it in my toes and I leaned up, grabbing his wrists in my hand. It only lasted a few seconds but it left me breathless and more flushed than I was before.
“See you later.” He drew his bottom lip between his teeth in that undeniably sexy way men do, but it looked perfect on him.
“Yeah.” I nodded, my eyes fleeting to Levi.
“I’ll walk you out.” Levi said.
I nodded again and Tate’s hands slipped from my waist as I walked to Levi’s side, and we set off for my car. I needed to get a real car at some point, the rental was getting expensive, and I would save money just taking cabs. I was distracting myself from the hulk of muscle next to me.
“I like when you come visit us at work.” He trapped me between the car and his chest, with his hand on my left side as he leaned over me.
He was so close his scent was the only thing I could smell, the hard cologne and the natural musk of his body. It went right to my core.
Tate’s too, and having those scents surround me at the same time was heavenly.
“You just say that.” I giggled.
It wasn’t that I was used to affection. Just that I never knew how to respond to it. I didn’t get much of it growing up, unless it was from my grandmother. All the men in my life were after one thing. And if they showed interest in helping me, it was just so they could say I owed them something in return. I knew that wasn’t the case when Tate and Levi, but I still had to remind myself that their affections were coming from a sincere place.
“No, never.” His brows drew together and he looked right into my eyes then.
How was it possible to feel such a deep connection from two men? At the same time? When they looked me in my eyes, I felt like I was coming apart. And staring back at them was like baring my soul. Opening myself up to possibly getting hurt. Because I knew they weren’t just fleeting thoughts anymore, I had feelings for them.
For two men, I had real feelings. Not the kind that only last a week, and not the kind that only exists around sex. The kind that were in my heart, eating me alive. It was way too much to handle, almost too much to bear.
“Why do you like doing this? Your work, I mean.” I cleared my throat.
“I like fixing things up. It’s fun.”
“That’s it? It’s fun?” I giggled. He smirked and cocked his head to the side.
“What else is there? I’m a real simple man, Adley.” He grinned. I felt myself go weak in the knees.
“I don’t know. There aren’t many people who even enjoy their job, let alone say it’s fun.” I sighed. He leaned closer with a concerned look in his eyes.
“Is that how you felt about your job?”
“It was barely a job.” I sighed.
“Are you okay?” He rested his hand on my hip. I swallowed and feigned a smile.
“I’m fine, don’t worry about me.” I lied.
It was like Levi knew I had gone off somewhere and kissed me to bring me back to the present. His hot, searing kiss claimed my body all at once and it was like coming alive again. I clutched his sides, wide and hard with muscle as he deepened the kiss. My tongue was so tired from kissing, but I returned it still until he released me. Breathless. Panting.
“Hmm.” I leaned against the car and looked into his eyes with what I was sure was a dreamy expression.
“You’re the cutest little thing, Adley. Drive safe.” He stepped away from me and it was like all the heat from my body released at once and left with him, but I was still all mushy inside from them both.
“Okay.” I laughed and got in the car.
He waved as I drove off and I had an odd smile on my face the whole way back to the hotel. I didn’t want to admit it then but I was dreading being back in that hotel room. Or checking my email and finding more daunting news. Or doing anything but be away from Levi and Tate.
I knew I shouldn’t be getting so clingy so fast, but I couldn’t help it. My heart was torn and I didn’t know what I really wanted. I definitely didn’t know what they wanted. Was this just casual to them? I had no clue. And some things they would say would make me think otherwise, and then I would be confused all over again.
I walked in the hotel and returned all the smiles given to me. People were nicer here than in New York City, and it was refreshing. Once in my room, I got in the shower immediately and felt much better after washing from head to toe.
I settled into bed despite the early time and watched television. There were Law & Order reruns to keep me busy. But I wasn’t paying much attention to it. I checked my email to find something else from the attorney, something about my assets.
They were nearly nonexistent. I had always rented; the only thing I owned were clothes and furniture. My grandmother’s house would add to it, but just knowing I had nearly nothing to my name was pretty sad. Most people my age at least have a college degree, or had just secured a loan to buy their own house. I had no job, let alone a loan from anyone.
Fixing her house was the first thing. She wanted me to have it so I wouldn’t ever have to worry about a place to live, and she was right. Once it was fixed, I would feel a lot better. Or so I thought.
And I knew I had to make something of it so that it wouldn’t go to waste.
This could be my chance to start over, and live a new life. I always wanted to go to culinary school and be a baker, but I knew I didn’t have to go to culinary school to get a job in a kitchen or something. It was the only part of working at the restaurant that I even liked, getting to be around the cooking and the chefs. They all loved their job, and I wanted that for myself.
I wanted more than living in a hotel and having no job. I know I would be in the house if it didn’t need to be fixed, but I was still jobless. I should start searching for jobs, I thought. But I couldn’t get up to do anything. Laying in the bed, watching television and pretending nothing was wrong was exactly what I wanted. It felt good to pretend.
But hadn’t I been pretending my whole life? Pretending everything was okay and that I didn’t need to be like everyone else?
And now I was pretending I didn’t have feelings for two men when I did. I really, really did. I was alone in that bed and all I wanted was them there with me. To make me smile, and to make me laugh. And to make me come. They knew my body so well; every inch that would make me writhe and scream and it was so odd trusting them with my body so easily. Like nothing could keep them from giving me pleasure.
What I didn’t trust them with just yet was my heart. How could I? It wasn’t that I barely knew them, but that it was just so scary to give away a piece of myself like that. Keeping all of my feelings bottled up inside wasn’t going to be good for my health in the future. But I did want them.
I didn’t know, though, what I would actually do with myself. And I didn’t know for a while.
I stayed in that hotel for an entire week, not talking to anyone. Not even Tate or Levi. It was time to focus on me. To figure out my next move. I didn’t know how, and I wasn’t sure what to even say. Perhaps it wasn’t fair of me to disappear on them or ignore their messages. But feelings, emotions, rational things that normal adults could handle—I was never very good at it.
Having feelings for two men at the same time was not normal. And I didn’t know if I could survive it.

Tate
I didn’t usually spare this much thought to one woman before. It was insane how Adley had crawled under my skin and latched herself onto me.
But I wasn’t necessarily complaining.
I liked caring so much about something, or someone other than myself and my work. I cared about her happiness, her feelings; everything there was to know about her, I wanted it. I just wasn’t sure she wanted me the same way. Or wanted us.
That was the main problem, I couldn’t have her to myself. And the notion of sharing her made me want her more. There was just something about sharing a woman with someone else, with my best friend. I wouldn’t have to shoulder the burden of keeping her happy alone, or keeping her satisfied. There was just something about watching her give pleasure, and take it from someone else. It heightened my feelings for her, it made me want to fight for her even more.
I was putting a lot of myself into the work on her house. I never cared much for the work besides getting it right, but I wanted it to be special for her. We both did. We wanted it to be just right.
But we couldn’t even get in touch with her.
That time we spent in the bedroom was all we had seen of her for a week. It started with her responses being short to our text messages. A few days ago they stopped entirely.
It really worried me because I knew she had no family here. It was just her. On top of that, her grandmother and the only family she had left, recently passed away. I knew she shouldn’t be alone but I didn’t know if I had the right to give her that input yet. It wasn’t like we ever sat down and had a serious conversation. Maybe that was my fault. But I knew it really wasn’t.
It just hadn’t been that long. But feelings didn’t need time, they just needed truth.
And the truth was I really fucking liked Adley. I wanted her. Levi and I both wanted her. It had come up to a week and I was working on the dining room. We had to redo the trim, and Levi was working on the fireplace and living room floors. We thought we would have to replace half of the planks because they had worn down too much, but he was trying to find a way to fix it.
We were both just trying to keep busy, because we didn’t want to scare Adley away or come off as two creeps who started stalking her. We both had relationships in the past, of course, but they never lasted that long. My last serious one was just after high school, and we broke up amicably. I always knew I wanted something more out of a relationship.
This thing with Adley and Levi, it would be the more I was looking for. To have a woman that was just as devoted to me as she was to someone else, but always know that she was in for me too. Was that what Adley would want?
I kept asking myself that. I was so distracted I nicked my thumb with the hammer. I hadn’t done that since my first day on the job. My dad was always really proud of me when I started taking after him. He gave really good advice too. He would have told me to toughen up and be honest, because real men say what was on their mind instead of trying to use their dicks to solve everything. So very poetic.
“Hey man, we need to talk.” I went to Levi after my thumb stopped throbbing.
“Shit, I knew you always wanted me,” Levi joked.
I shook my head and gave him a look. I sat on the edge of the tarp covered couch. He was crouched down next to the fireplace. He wiped his hands off and looked at me with a calm expression.
“What’s up?” he asked.
I sighed. “Has Adley said anything to you?” I asked him. Maybe I had it wrong. Maybe she didn’t want us both, and only wanted him. Levi wouldn’t keep that from me though, so I knew it was a stretch.
