It was our first time all sharing a bed, and no one had any intention of sleeping. Jessie kissed my mouth. Kincade played with my breasts. And Brock slid on protection and then was the first man to truly take me.
It felt so damn good. He was so big, but also careful. Careful not to crush me. Careful to make sure I enjoyed myself. And later, when I lost all my poise and begged him to take me harder, he got less careful. Which I liked.
Then they switched positions. All three of them took me at some point, and I was glad. It was like giving my virginity to three men rather than one. It seemed perfect to me.
Afterwards, we were all exhausted but satisfied. I giggled as my breathing returned to something resembling normal.
“What?” Jessie asked when I laughed again.
“Have you ever been to a pet store and seen a little cage of hamsters all resting on top of each other? That’s what we look like now.”
“Only less furry,” Kincade said.
“Thank God for that, “I said, running my hand over the nearest set of shaved, smooth pecs.”
“So what happens now?” Jessie asked.
Kincade was the one that answered. “I have to move at some point or my foot’s going to fall asleep.
“I think Jessie was asking more about the long term,” Brock said.
My breathing quickened again as I wondered what—if anything—people might say about that.
Kincade went first. “I had a long call with the designer for my lingerie store at the casino, Maddie. He’s very interested in your ideas and would like to see what you’ve made. Can you take a week off work and come out and visit?”
“I can ask,” I said. And I’d do so using all the charm, flattery, and possibly bribery I could. “Any chance you guys could come out too?”
“Maybe,” Brock said. “I can try.”
“Me too,” Jessie said. “I’ll check my schedule.
My breath caught in my throat. If they joined us in Vegas, it would be like another week here on the island. Just with different scenery. But I couldn’t help asking, “What then?”
“You can come stay with me for a while, Maddie.” Jessie’s voice was almost shy. “I can’t invite you for too long, because I travel a lot, but I’d like you to see my place.”
“And then when he has to travel, maybe you can go see Brock,” Kincade said, and Brock nodded.
All of that should have made me happy. They were talking about spending weeks with me. But not with all four of us together—at least not for most of the time.
“So… that’s the plan? I’ll go back and forth between your respective cities like the jeans in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants?”
They looked at me blankly, and I rolled my eyes. “You guys use movie quotes all the time. Haven’t you ever watched even one film aimed at women?”
They still looked confused.
I sighed. “Thank you for the offer of divvying me up like a timeshare. But what about you guys? When will you see each other?”
“We do. These guys come to Los Angeles quite a bit. So if you were staying with me, you’d see them.”
I reached over and patted his hip. At least I think it was. I pinched it and he was the one who flinched, so I figured it was. “By your own admission, you said it had been two years since the three of you had hung out in person.”
“So?” Kincade asked.
“So, that’s where the magic happens… with the three of you together. And now the four of us together. That’s what makes this work—not me with Kincade one week, and Brock with the next, Jessie after that.”
“But we live in different cities, sweetheart,” Jessie said.
Man, these guys needed me to think of everything. “So move into the megapenthouse.”
“I’m sorry?” Brock asked, confused.
“You said you might buy the two units on the floor below you. Jessie can buy one, and Kincade can by the other.”
“That’s an idea,” Kincade said. “Then we’ll have a place to stay when we come to town.”
“And we’ll all be neighbors,” Jessie concluded.
I was getting exasperated. “Not neighbors. Open it up, like Brock was planning to do. Make one huge penthouse.”
“So we’d all live together?” Brock sounded startled.
“Yes, but not on top of each other. It sounds like there would be plenty of space. And you all said it yourselves, you travel a lot. But it would be your home and you’d see each other a hell of a lot more often than once every two years.” I slowed down so that they’d understand that I was being serious. “You guys are good together. You need each other.”
“We need you,” Kincade said.
“I can be there.” I couldn’t believe I was being so bold, but it felt right. “If you can help me find a job, I can be there. And maybe sometimes I can go to Vegas with Kincade, or travel with one of you. But sometimes it’ll just be the four of us, like it is now.” I looked around and gave a little laugh. Okay, maybe not exactly like it is now.”
