“I’ll rip his fucking head off if I even see him flirt with Adel, never mind touch her. She won’t have further contact with him.”
“Leo?”
Leo turned around to hear Adel’s voice. She was standing in the doorway wearing her dress from last night and holding her heels by the straps.
He licked his lower lip and held her gaze.
“If Credence calls you out of the blue, or tries to ask you out or to meet him, you better damn well let me know.” He raised his voice.
Adel took a retreating step back and Leo widened his eyes. He was being a jerk.
“Ah shit, Adel.” He stalked toward her and pulled her into his arms hugging her.
“I’m sorry. Hank got me all riled up and well, I was fucking jealous.”
He pulled back and looked down into her eyes. She was so petite and sexy, plus she smelled like their soap and shampoo.
“Before last night I felt protective of you. I always have felt that way, but after what we shared last night and what I hope will come of this relationship, I feel possessive. I can’t apologize for that, but I can try not to be so abrupt.”
“Or sound so untrusting?” she asked, raising one of her eyebrows up at him.
He chuckled and caressed her cheek. “Or untrusting.” He lowered his mouth to hers and kissed her and he was relieved when she hugged him in return.
“I can’t make the same promise,” Hank stated as he brought the eggs and bacon over toward the table.
Adel looked at him as Leo guided her back toward the table.
“What’s mine is mine. Someone tries to take you from me or move in on what’s mine and forget it. You don’t want to know,” he said firmly.
Leo watched Adel hold Hank’s gaze.
Hank lifted his finger and curled it back and forth toward him for Adel to come to him. She hesitated only a moment and then walked the few feet to meet Hank.
Hank stared down into her eyes.
“Last night was incredible. No regrets, only promises of even better nights together. You’re ours now, Adel. Part of us. Do you understand?”
She nodded her head. Hank smiled softly.
He reached over her shoulder, under her hair to cup her head, and then kissed her, pulling her up against his chest. Adel kissed him back until Will entered the kitchen.
“Are we having food for breakfast or Adel?”
Leo chuckled as he Hank released Adel.
“I think I like the sound of having Adel for breakfast,” Leo said and chuckled as he saw her cheeks turn a nice shade of pink.
Will walked closer, and he looked at the table of food then at Adel.
“Or maybe we can strip her naked, lay her on the table, then eat our breakfast right off of her body. Maybe drizzle a little syrup along her nipples, then down her belly and over her pussy,” Will said as he trailed his finger along her body.
Hank ran his hand under her dress then to her pussy.
“No syrup necessary, her pussy is sweet and delicious enough.”
She smacked his hand away and turned around to sit down.
“I think we should sit down now,” she said and Leo, Hank, and Will chuckled. Leo looked at his brothers. He hadn’t seen them smile like this and act so happy in a long time. Leo squeezed Adel’s shoulders. It was all because of her. Adel was meant to be theirs and nothing would stand in their way of happiness.
Chapter 6
“You haven’t returned any of our calls. It’s been three weeks.”
“I’ve been busy with work and things, Mom. Besides, I wouldn’t return any of Bentley’s calls anyway. There’s no need for me to.”
Adel was standing in her bedroom trying to get ready for work. The men and her submitted the proposal to Credence and the team at Morrison’s company. If all went well they would be celebrating with their fathers and mom at dinner on Friday evening. She had yet to hear from Credence with any feedback but perhaps today.
She straightened out the navy blue dress she wore and stepped into the low-heeled pumps. Hank loved the color blue on her. She smiled and then heard her mom’s voice cut into her thoughts.
“Are you even listening to me? What is wrong with you? What aren’t you telling me?”
So badly she wanted to tell her mom about Hank, Will, and Leo and how much in love she was with them. Her mom was on her father’s side and despite claiming to want Adel to be happy, Adel didn’t think her mom really did want that. She allowed her husband to control her, manipulate her, and do whatever he told her to. That wasn’t the life Adel wanted.
“I have a lot going on, Mom. Work is crazy busy and then I try to hang out with friends.”
“Friends or are you seeing someone?” Her mom’s question surprised her.
“Oh God, Adel, what if Bentley finds out? He won’t be happy. He wants you back.”
“Well I don’t want him back. I don’t need a man like that in my life. One that can hurt me, abuse me, and cheat on me. No thank you. We’ve been over this before.”
“So does this mean you won’t ever come back here to visit me, or to see your father? He’s not feeling well.”
“You’ve been saying that for a month. Is he really ill, or does he just want to see me and tell me how wrong I was to leave Bentley?”
“You’re his daughter. He wants what’s best for you.”
“No, Mom, he wants what’s best for him and for making money.”
“Bentley bought out your father’s shares. He no longer is part of the business. He wanted to wipe his hands clean of what he had done, selling you out for that company merge.”
Adel was shocked. Could her dad really have done that to make up for what he had done over a year ago? It was in that moment that she felt a bit of hope or need to have the love of her father as his only baby girl. Then she felt that twist of uncertainty. She could move on freely and without such fears and reservations with Hank, Leo, and Will, giving them her full trust, if she could forgive her father and just move on. She realized that if she saw him and even if he were only slightly remorseful that it would be enough to forgive him.
“Adel, please consider coming home for a visit. Whatever you have going on, put on hold to see your father. You mean so much to him. Not having you here has shown him that.”
Adel felt the tears reach her eyes.
“I’ll think about it. I need to go right now. I’m going to be late for work.”
“Promise me you’ll come home for a visit.”
She was hesitant but the tone of her mom’s voice, the sincerity, the sadness made her want to please her even after all this time and what her own family had done to her.
“I’ll call you later in the week to confirm when.” She disconnected the call then stared at herself in the mirror.
“I can do this. I can forgive Dad, see them in person, and let them see how well I am without Bentley in my life and I can move on with Hank, Leo, and Will.”
* * * *
“You’re out of your mind. Why would you expose yourself to their negativity and lies? What if it’s a plan to hurt you or put you down and minimize what you’ve accomplished? What if they find out about Hank, Leo, and Will?” Marlena asked Adel.
“She’s right. From what you’ve told us, your parents aren’t exactly the loving supportive types,” Alicia added.
“I know,” Adel replied as she lowered her eyes and held the coffee cup between her hands. Then she felt Mercedes’s hand cover hers.
“Then why expose yourself to their negativity? Hank, Will, Leo, and all of us are your family now. We support you, love you, and believe in you.”
Adel smiled softly.
“I love all of you, too. It’s just that I think I need to do this. To move on with Hank, Will, and Leo and truly give them all of me, including my heart and my trust. I’m still holding back.”
“So you think if you forgive your father then those insecurities will disappear?” Marlena asked her and Adel nodded her head.
“
I’m not sure that’s going to work, and what if you go there and they aren’t so kind and you can’t forgive them, then what?” Mercedes asked.
“At least I know that I tried. That I did everything in my power to make it work and to move on and have some kind of relationship with my father.”
“You’re a kind person, Adel, but I hope that you realize if this doesn’t work out and your parents try to put you down and disapprove of what your life is like without them, that you’ll know you don’t need them and that you have us,” Alicia said to her.
“It’s a risk. I know.”
“Are you going to tell them about Hank, Leo, and Will?” Mercedes asked.
“Better yet, are you going to tell Hank, Will, and Leo about what your father did, and about Bentley and this idea of forgiving your father?” Alicia asked.
Adel shook her head.
“I’ll tell them when I return. Otherwise, knowing how protective they are, they’ll want to go with me. I need to do this solo.”
Mercedes wasn’t certain that this was the right decision for Adel to make, but who was she to stand in her way and try to give an opinion? She didn’t have half the self-confidence that Adel and the others had. Mercedes was scared. She knew what it was like to be on her own, to fend for herself, and to not even get three meals a day. For a year she lived on eating once a day. Life had thrown her many curveballs and she often wished for the things other people had. She would love to have a family, relatives, someone who she could love and who could love her, but that just wasn’t the case. She looked at Adel, who had a family, and that family hurt her, sold her out, and left her with nothing but heartache. Yet still Adel wanted to forgive them so she could move on.
Mercedes’s life was so different. She’d had two disabled, sickly parents who she cared for and helped keep comfortable until they died. She couldn’t work, couldn’t go to college until much later and now here she was twenty-six years old and she was tired and felt hollow inside, but at least she had these three women as her friends. She cherished the friendship that continued to grow. She longed to have love, to find love the way the three women found it, but she wasn’t hopeful. She just didn’t think she had any more in her heart to give after all she gave and sacrificed for her parents. Living on the streets, surviving on her own, hardened her heart in many ways. Maybe she could learn from someone like Adel and her ability to forgive and forget. Maybe.
* * * *
The week had passed and there wasn’t any return feedback about the business proposal. As Adel set some papers onto Leo’s desk in his office she heard the door close and then the lock click. Turning around she gripped the desk as she laid eyes on Leo. His gaze was intense, his eyes roamed over her body, and in a flash he was right in front of her, pulling her into his arms and kissing her deeply.
She felt it, too. That intense need to have one of her men inside of her. She felt obsessed and tried to hide her feelings from them. She didn’t want the men to think she was some psycho woman who would latch on and need them constantly. That would be clingy, annoying, and totally not normal.
She felt Leo lift the hem of her dress and his fingers curled under the material of her panties, finding her pussy before he plunged his fingers deeply into her. She gasped, pulling her mouth from his as she held onto his shoulders.
“I need you. Walking around in this sexy purple dress and watching the material flap against your thighs as you walk past my office was torture.” He nipped her neck and licked a pathway down to her breasts. His fingers pumped harder, deeper, faster.
She gripped his shoulders as he spread her legs when her ass landed on his hard desk.
“Leo, please, we can’t do this here. It’s unprofessional.”
He pulled from her neck and stared into her eyes.
“Unprofessional? You want to know what’s unprofessional? The fact that all I can think about is listening to your sweet, kind voice as you talk on the phone, watch you and that sincere, intense expression on your face as you type on your computer, and know that I can’t sink my cock balls deep into your pussy or in your ass because I’m at work and trying to be professional. Fuck professional.” He unzipped his pants and she felt his erection. His words, his intensity had her pushing down her own panties as he lowered his pants and lifted her hips then thrust his hard, thick cock into her pussy. She held onto his shoulders as he rocked back and forth and gripped her ass and hips so tight she knew he would leave marks but she didn’t care. She thrust back and clenched her teeth to stop herself from screaming his name.
The desk didn’t make a sound. The heavy, thick oak handled Leo’s thrusts.
She felt her body tighten. This was so naughty, so risky and knowing that employees were right outside the door and down the hallway and that his brother Hank was probably wondering why she hadn’t come back to take notes in his office, all aroused her as she came hard, shaking and gasping for breath.
“I love you. I hope that doesn’t scare you. I love you,” he said as he came inside of her, shocking her speechless.
He kissed her deeply then reached to the side for tissues.
He chuckled.
“It’s all I have,” he said as he slowly pulled from her body.
His cock slid out and she felt the loss. She had it so bad. In fact, as she cleaned herself up with his assistance and they fixed their clothes, she thought about visiting Will and Hank next. It came natural. She couldn’t have one of them and not the other two as well.
She chuckled and felt Leo’s hands slide along her dress over her ass and fix the material.
“What were you just thinking about?” he asked as he fixed his dress shirt and she helped him with his pants.
“Visiting Will and Hank’s office next,” she said.
His eyes darkened and a sinful smile formed on his lips.
“So glad you said that. Hank is expecting you. Then Will.” He turned her around, gave her ass a spank, and on trembling legs she headed out of the office.
There wasn’t a soul in sight. It was too good to be true. With her luck someone would come by looking for her then knock on Hank’s door.
She took a sip of her water bottle and felt her nipples harden. The buzzer on her desk went off and she jumped.
“Adel, in my office now,” Hank told her.
“Yes, sir,” she replied all efficientlike. She glanced around. Still no one was in sight.
She headed to his door, knocked, and entered.
There Hank stood in front of his desk, arms crossed, a determined angry expression on his face and she paused.
“Yes, sir, you needed me?” she asked, the words doing a number to her cunt and her legs.
“Close the door.” She reached back and closed it.
“Where were you? I asked you to come in here fifteen minutes ago.”
“Leo needed me.”
She couldn’t believe how turned on she was right now.
“Well I need you, too. Come here,” he said and as she approached he stood his ground and didn’t move. He didn’t uncross his arms as he took in the sight of her.
“Closer,” he told her, making her shiver with desire as she stepped right up to him.
He looked her over.
“You look a little flushed. What exactly did Leo need you for?” he asked.
She lowered her eyes.
“Look at me.” She snapped her head back up, surprised by his tone and authority but also turned on by it.
“What did he need from you?”
She was so aroused. She was shocked by the words that came into her head.
“I expect the truth. Remember when I said to you if I ask you a question then I want an answer?”
“Yes, sir.”
His eyes widened and he uncrossed his arms but instead of putting his hands on her like she hoped, he gripped the desk.
“What did he want from you? The truth.”
“My body,” she whispered and he clenched his teeth. She could see his cheek ca
ve in a little.
He looked her over again.
“Which part of your body?”
Oh brother.
She took an uneasy breath and then wondered if she could say the words.
“Are you hiding something from me? Do you need that ass spanked?”
She panicked, knowing that a spanking from Hank would send her over the edge. Her pussy leaked and she tightened her thighs together.
“He wanted my pussy.”
Hank gave a small smirk.
“That’s interesting, because that’s what I want from you, too.”
He snagged an arm around her waist, pulled her close, and kissed her. In a flash his hands were lifting the bottom of her dress and shoving them to her waist. He pressed her panties down and cool air collided with her pussy. She moaned into his mouth as she cupped his balls against his dress pants and he released her lips. “Feeling a bit frisky huh?” he asked and then nipped her neck.
She moaned and then he pulled back, turned her around, and pressed her body over the desk.
“I thought about fucking you over this desk for months. That you would come in here with your sweet voice calling me sir, serving me coffee, and then serving me this sweet, wet cunt.” He thrust fingers into her pussy from behind as she gripped the desk. Something came over her as she lifted up and shoved back.
“I thought about that, too. You ordering me to lay here while you had your way with me.”
“Sounds like we all had the same idea.”
Adel was shocked to hear Will’s voice, but Hank didn’t seem shocked at all as he undid his pants, pushed them down, and spread her thighs.
“Someone didn’t lock the door behind them,” Will stated and she felt her cheeks turn red. Anyone could have come into the room and caught them like this. Will locked gazes with her.
“That’s going to cost you some serious punishment.”
