I was turned to Levi again and the taste of both of them on my lips made me dizzy. Levi fucked me harder with his fingers. Tate rubbed me faster. And then I was coming so hard I felt it in my bones. I groaned. Moaned. Grabbed for both of them and trembled through my orgasm.
I opened my eyes and stared blankly at my hotel room.
“I’m so fucked.”

Complimentary breakfast was a gift from God. I showered and put on some jeans and a tee shirt before I headed down there around eight. It was early but I…um, had gone to sleep easily.
After a good plate of eggs and sausage, I headed back to my room and aimlessly surfed my laptop. I checked emails that didn’t really mean anything. Pretended to shop online for a little while, too. My phone rang with an unknown number, but I answered it anyway. There were a lot of new people calling me the past few days.
“Hello?” I answered cautiously.
“Hey, hun. It’s Levi.”
“Do you call all your clients that?” I spoke before I thought.
I shifted on the bed, nervously resting against the headboard.
“Nope. I don’t ask them what they’re wearing either, but I get a feeling I should ask you that.” He chuckled, and I imagined his sexy grin.
I managed an uneasy laugh. “What’s…um, what’s up?” I cleared my throat. Goodness. Why was I so nervous? Maybe because I fantasized about them last night.
“Nothing. Just wanted to let you know we got started this morning.”
“This morning? It’s only twelve. And I didn’t even give you a key…” I realized mostly to myself.
“That door had to come down anyway. We started at five in the morning, so I doubt you wanted to be woken up.”
“Oh. Um. Yeah, probably not. Is everything okay?”
“Yeah. We got our guy in to look at the electrical and the whole place has to be rewired. The plumbing line needs to be replaced, too. It sounds bad but it really isn’t. Oh, there was some mold but it was just a bit in the basement, not a big deal.”
“Wow. Okay. It does sound bad…” I sighed.
“I promise it’s fine. Tate and I have everything under control. We’ll update you if anything changes,” Levi said. I heard the smile in his voice.
“Okay. Do you need anything from me? Uh, for the house I mean.” I blushed.
“All good, hun. Talk with you later.”
“Okay. Bye.” I hung up fast and threw my phone like it was toxic.
He must have known I was trying to find an excuse to go over there and see them. It sounded obvious too. It was good I keep my distance anyway. I didn’t know how much more controlling I could do. Of my libido or anything else for that matter.

I didn’t hear anything from them for four days. The end of the week brought on warmer temperatures, but I mostly stayed in the hotel. I sort of wished I had made friends, or had a different job that I couldn’t just quit.
I did start looking online at local bakeries for waitressing jobs or assistant to a pastry chef. Something simple I could get my foot in the door, but no one was hiring. This area was tiny.
I read a lot of ebooks, but I was growing bored. And antsy to see Levi and Tate. I was still thinking of them every night and the fantasies were growing in creativity. I didn’t know I had such an imagination. But it went from touching and kissing to imagining what they felt like in my hand. Or what they felt like inside of me. I was almost quaking at the thought of it.
But how the hell would I initiate…not even initiate, but just be with the both of them? I wasn’t even sure if they thought of me that way. They were just working on my house. It was nothing.
But I still felt something from that day. I told myself I was just being crazy and restless. Riddled with both guilt and grief. I didn’t know what to do with my emotions. So, I told myself I was just scoping out the local job market when I went to a local bakery to grab some cupcakes for them. Hopefully there wasn’t anyone else there so it wouldn’t seem like…well, so it wouldn’t seem like exactly what it was.
I got back to the house around noon and their truck was parked outside. There was a big Dumpster packed with garbage and the front porch was trashed. But I still got the feeling that it would be something soon. I grabbed the box of cupcakes and headed inside.
It was dusty and torn up but I saw the potential. I called out but didn’t get an answer. Then I heard a big, clamoring noise. Almost like a drill or something, coming from the kitchen. There was laughing and that same noise as I walked in, and then it stopped.
Both Levi and Tate were shirtless. Gloriously shirtless. Levi had deep ridges of muscles, his pecs protruding. Tate was packed tighter, his muscles hard slabs. They both had six packs and powerful arms. Their jeans were snug, their bodies glistening with sweat.
“Hi,” I said timidly.
They dropped their tools and smiled at me. I nearly buckled at my knees.
“Hey,” they said almost in unison.
“I uh, brought you guys cupcakes. It’s um, really hot so I just…wanted to—yeah.” I laughed nervously and set the box down.
“Thanks, hun. That’s sweet of you.” Levi went for it immediately and Tate smiled as he took one.
“How are things going?” I swallowed nervously. Watching them lick the frosting off the cupcakes was more of a turn on than I thought.
“Pretty good. Nothing disastrous has happened yet,” Tate laughed.
“Oh okay. I guess that is a good thing,” I smiled.
I caught Levi looking over my body when he thought I wouldn’t notice. I had worn a tank top and jeans. I would have gone for shorts but my thighs rubbed together and I hated that sweaty feeling when there was no fabric. I knew he was looking at my boobs. A lot of guys did; they were just out there. But Tate was subtler about it. And they both shot each other this look I couldn’t place.
All their exposed skin and muscle had me thinking of my fantasies again.
“So where did you decide to stay?” Levi asked me.
“A hotel. I don’t have any friends. I don’t know why I just told you that but, it’s true.” I shrugged.
Tate smiled at me like he was amused, but not in a bad way.
“Nice. A little mini vacation.” Levi reached for another cupcake. I was glad I bought four. “These are good. Amelia’s in town?”
“Yeah how did you know?” Please say she’s not your girlfriend, I thought.
“I buy her pies, great lady. Did you have one?”
“Not yet,” I reached for the last one left. It was good, better than I expected. Creamy and not dry. Amelia’s could be a good place to drum up a job. She clearly knew her stuff.
“So how long do you think this will take?” I asked while further examining the cupcake.
I was curious as to how long I would torture myself with their beauty.
“Hard to say. Maybe…no more than thirty days? If there are no surprises.” Tate answered.
“Okay. I’ll just let you guys get back to work.” I turned on my heel to take my leave.
“Thanks for the cupcakes. Will that be a daily thing?” Levi boasted. I giggled and turned around.
“It can be.”

Tate
We hadn’t done a project like that house in a long time. I got the sense it was important to Adley right away. I wanted it to be done correctly, and I wanted it to be special to her. Levi and I started early in the morning so we wouldn’t finish too late. We didn’t want to be that close to the docks when it got dark.
The weather also was getting hotter and we just worked better when we weren’t melting.
The house had its issues but they would be an easy fix. We got to work on all the siding first, taking everything down that needed to be replaced. We weren’t at the design stage yet, but we were geared towards restoration. There were some charms the house had that I thought she might want to keep.
We were
only about a week in when she showed up looking like a man’s fantasy. And I had plenty of those since the day I first saw her. That tank top she wore barely contained her round breasts. Her jeans snugged around her luscious thighs and hips and I definitely watched her ass when she left.
“I’m staying in to work on that fireplace mantle.” Levi caught my attention before I headed out front. The porch had to be redone, and I didn’t want to do it too late in the process. A steady porch would help a lot down the road.
“Still think you can fix it?”
Levi wiped his face with his shirt and shrugged. “Yeah. Better than replacing it. Saves a lot of money,” he said smugly, knowing damn well he just wanted to tinker with it.
“You just want to mess with it. Whatever man, I’ll be outside.”
“Suit yourself. It’s too fucking hot.” He shook his head and went over to the living room.
I plugged in the extension cord and made sure the generator was on since the power was still off. Our electrical guys had a lot of jobs, so they couldn’t usually come every day.
I started by ripping up the last of the planks and then re-sanded them. I had horses set up to lay everything down on. I didn’t expect to finish the same day, but it was nice to keep my hands busy and devote them to one thing. That was how my dad used to describe his work. Fixing one thing, and then another, and another. Before you knew it, nothing would be broken anymore.
Yeah, it was extremely optimistic. But it kept shit going.
The weather was getting even more humid so I lost my shirt and used it to wipe sweat from my eyes. I still hadn’t decided if this was easier in the cold or the heat. Both were equally annoying.
I was about halfway through the sanding when I heard an engine grow closer and then shut off. I looked out and recognized the car as Adley’s. I felt excited in a way I hadn’t felt since high school. That giddy shit there’s a hot girl coming my way kind of thing.
She got out and waved with a smile. I smiled back and saw she had a new baked good in her hand. I laughed as she walked up.
“Oh, careful.” I remembered it was unsteady and reached out for her. I grabbed her waist and led her to a safe spot next to me. Her skin was soft and plush under her thin tee shirt. The v-neck wasn’t that low, but her breasts swelled at the top anyway.
“Thanks. I bought you guys some pie. I heard Levi loud and clear yesterday.”
“Ugh, I needed this. Levi has his head in a project so don’t worry about him.” I chuckled.
I wasn’t sure how to explain Levi’s obsession with fixing things that were too far gone. Or assumed to be too far gone.
“Everything going okay?” She smiled.
She had the sweetest face, soft skin and cute button nose. Her lips so peachy and full. The slight red of her hair bounced off her green eyes and left me in a trance.
“Yeah. It’s great. I wanted to get some work done on this porch today.” I tapped the wooden plank and smiled down at her. I had a few inches on her in height.
“Oh. Okay. I’m excited to see how the place will look,” she piped. I loved her soft, chipper voice. But it still had something weighing it down. I suspect it was because of her grandmother passing so recently, and her house needing a lot more work than she thought.
“That’s normal.” I replied. She passed me a plastic fork.
“Cherry or blueberry? I didn’t know which you guys liked.”
“Blueberry, cherry for Levi.”
“So, you and Levi have worked together for a while?” Adley leaned on the window sill. The way her arms rested on her knees made her chest lean forward and I had to look away before I imagined coming all over her tits.
“Yeah. A really long while.” I laughed. “It hasn’t been all bad.” I added.
“That’s kind of nice. I don’t really have a relationship like that with anyone.” Her shoulders tensed like she was defending herself.
“Is that why you’re staying in a hotel?” I leaned against the one stable bar of the porch.
I swigged back some water and caught her looking me over. I was shirtless, so I couldn’t blame her. I saw her eyes on my lips. I licked them quickly and her cheeks flushed in the most adorable way. Like she felt some sort of shame for looking at me that way.
“Yeah. It isn’t bad. Maybe eating frozen dinners every night is. But there is free breakfast, so that helps.” She giggled sweetly. I smiled and shook my head.
“That’s no way to live.”
“It’s actually not much different from how things were before. I was a waitress so I always ate leftovers anyway.” She shrugged.
“Still. What are you doing for dinner tonight?” I treaded carefully.
There were no rules about socializing with the clients. At least I didn’t think there were. I would honestly doubt that it was wrong. But a big part of me didn’t want her to be alone, and I got a strong feeling that she was alone. I didn’t know about being there for her and all that, but I could start with little steps.
I knew Levi wanted her too and we agreed we would both have her or no one at all. We wouldn’t let it come between us. I also didn’t know how to catch her vibe—if she was open to both of us, or not.
“I don’t know. Maybe Stouffer’s Fettuccine.” She smiled wryly.
“That’s sad, honestly. Why don’t you just come to my place for dinner tonight? I make a good fried chicken dinner.” I smirked.
“I love fried chicken. Or anything fried.”
I laughed. She had this sexiness about her that was also adorable. Like she didn’t know she was so irresistible to us.
“You should come then.”
“I don’t know. I’m not even sure I’ll be staying in the hotel for the whole time. I just have a lot to think about.” She took an uneasy breath and my fingers itched to ease the tension in her shoulders.
“You can do plenty of thinking tomorrow. I’ll make it worth your while, I promise.” I smiled.
She bit her lip like she was thinking and I felt I already had her.
“Okay. Sure.” She stood up and smiled timidly.
God, I couldn’t stop looking at her. Her face, her body, those lips…fuck. “Great.” My voice came out deeper than I intended. But I was fighting a hard on and I didn’t want it to show.
“I’ll see you later I guess. Just text me your address.” She looked like she wanted to ask something else but didn’t.
“Sure. I’ll be set around six,” I told her.
“Okay. See you. Don’t forget to give Levi his pie, or I’ll rat you out that you ate them both.” She smiled one last time and then skipped off to her car.
Of course, I watched her pert, round ass bounce as she did.

I left the house in a daze.
I didn’t know enough about what was going on to know what was good or bad. Everything looked okay, in theory. Most of it was torn to the bare bones or piled high with debris. I was almost relieved I couldn’t talk to Levi when I arrived. He was more…intimidating.
When it came down to it, Tate was just as intimidating. He was just easier to talk to though, and I felt a little less out of my element around him. Maybe it was because he was not as intense as Levi. Tate didn’t have that brooding, alpha character to him that Levi did. Tate eluded confidence, and he did have that alpha male thing going on, but it wasn’t as in your face as Levi was.
The two of them were very, very different. But I was also very, very attracted to them both. It sounded insane and it was crazy, I couldn’t even believe it myself. But I just was. I had only left two hours ago and was antsy to see Tate again. I wanted to see Levi too, but I had no idea how to explain that. It would not be fair either. I’m attracted to you both and I’m hoping you’re okay with that.
There was no way in hell I could speak those words.
I wondered how it would make me look, and how they would think of me. I liked to say I was a person that didn’t care what other people thought. M
ost of the time I didn’t, but this was just different. Sexuality makes everything different. Being attracted to two men was taboo and only to be desired in your head. It belonged in books and television, not in real life.
But it existed. Obviously. And I didn’t know what to do about it.
I was getting dressed to meet Tate for dinner when I really thought about it. I didn’t want to wear the same jeans over and over so I wore a dress. A simple blue shift dress with four buttons down the chest, that fit me like a glove.
I decided I would be honest with Tate. It wouldn’t be conventional, but I had to find a way to tell him I was attracted to his friend too. From the way they interacted, they seemed like best friends. I didn’t want to be the one to mess that up. I wasn’t sure about real feelings for them besides like or interest, but the attraction—the inevitable pull of desire I couldn’t ignore in their presence—was undeniable. It felt wrong. Actually, it should feel wrong. But it didn’t.
My strawberry blonde hair refused to cooperate, as always. I decided to just leave it down and let it do what it wished. The weather was still too sticky and humid, perks of being so close to the water, I guessed. So, I didn’t wear any makeup, just plain nude lipstick that made my lips look less like I had been biting on them. I was nervous, more than I ever had been before about anything.
I wanted to appear cool, and confident. Like I had my life together, and less like someone between jobs, graced with a household she didn’t know how to run. I could do that. I could pretend.
Tate had texted me his address and I was due there in twenty minutes, so I got going. I didn’t remember much of the area and I didn’t want to get lost. I did enjoy the drive though, because the scenery was nice. His house wasn’t far from my hotel, and I found the outside very charming. It was a cold gray color, with a colonial porch and pillars out front. It looked like a lot of handiwork went into it, and I wondered if he built it himself. He might have with Levi’s help.
His truck was out front, along with a motorcycle, the sport kind. I imagined him riding it, but it didn’t quite fit. It fit Levi better. I took a deep breath, got out, and walked up the porch. My sandals scraped against the wooden planks. There was a bench by the door for sitting, and a side table as well. I got a very homey feeling from it.
