MONROE
When Nicco had shown up in my temporary office, stating he was my next appointment, I’d been skeptical. Standing in an area I hadn’t known existed until now, I knew I’d been right to be.
“This is my next appointment?” I asked, raising my eyes to him.
“Yup. I couldn’t exactly put dick appointment, or you might’ve ignored it. Plus, you having to announce to the whole family you were going to get your socks rocked didn’t seem like the kind of thing you wanted others to know.”
He winked, moving toward me, leaning close. “Come on. I have a feeling Crash isn’t going to let himself break free until you do. So, the question is, Sunshine, are you ready?”
He stood facing me, blocking Loren and Wells, for the time being, making it just the two of us. We were similar in height, so this close, I could see into his gray-blue eyes clearly. Nicco was daring me, pushing me to see how I’d respond. I didn’t know which response he wanted, but I wasn’t afraid of him. Not the way he thought, at least.
Taking a step, I brought the toe of our shoes together, engulfing his smell of leather and ink. I watched as he swallowed, his Adam’s apple bobbing with the movement, and I realized I’d disarmed him for once. I grabbed his hips, surprising him yet again, his eyes going wide at the move.
“I think the real question, Casanova, is whether you are.” I kissed his lips briefly before pulling back, walking over to the other two. They’d been watching, and I found them both sitting stunned. Winking, I hoped I hadn’t overstepped. When they both licked their lips, I knew I’d been right. While I didn’t feel for Nicco the way I did for Loren and Wells, I wouldn’t shy away from playing if he was inclined, especially if it made the other two more aroused.
Though, if I had to guess, he wanted to use me to show Wells it wasn’t the huge ordeal he was making it out to be and to face his own feelings again. But what Nicco needed to realize was, I wouldn’t be used as a prop. I might be the “golden retriever” one, as they all liked to call me, but it didn’t make me weak. Nicco would either realize that or miss out on getting to know me and, ultimately Wells, more intimately.
Because I had a feeling that Wells was holding out due to some obligation to Loren and me, and once that obstacle was removed, he’d have to face his own feelings.
I started to remove my clothes when I realized they were in actual swimwear. “It seems my appointment before lunch is a date with you guys.” I smiled at them, loving their attention.
Loren leaned against the side, smiling at me. “I can’t say I’m mad about that. Do you have time, though? I don’t want you to miss anything.”
I looked over at her and Wells, my heart racing at the sight. “I always have time for you two. Now, should I pretend and go put on a swimsuit or just strip down naked now?” I asked, lifting my brow.
“Oh, kinky. Let’s just strip down, Sunshine.” Nicco came up behind me, apparently unfrozen from his stupor. Smirking, I ignored him, walked over to the soft chairs, and started to place my clothes there as I undressed. I laid everything as carefully as possible so it wouldn’t get wrinkled, but I’d probably have to put on a new suit anyway. Worth it.
Dropping my boxers, I tossed them onto the chair, walking proudly to my husband and wife. Nicco walked next to me, and I kept my eyes forward, not wanting to give him the benefit of checking out his dick. I already knew from Wells he was pierced, and while I wanted to see it, it felt important right now not to look.
I was momentarily stunned at how good the water felt when I stepped in. “Okay, is this like some miracle spa water or something? This feels incredible.”
“It’s spring water, and it’s a European bath with Epsom salt. It does have healing properties,” Loren explained, pulling me closer to her. “Hi,” she said, smiling at me.
“Hey, Lo.” I kissed her nose, reaching over to grab Wells' hand. “How did Nicco rope you into this?”
“Did I see you kiss him?” he asked instead of answering.
“He was trying to push my buttons, so I pushed back. Why? Did it make you jealous?”
“No.” He shook his head, and I watched him as he contemplated something. “I think I finally got it, that's all.” He looked up at me, staring into my eyes. “You’re amazing, Monroe. I don’t tell you that enough.”
“You do, and thank you.” I leaned over Loren, kissing Wells deeply, wanting to display to him I understood what he was trying to say.
When I released him, I smiled, laying back so I could float in the water. “This is nice.” I closed my eyes, letting my body feel the water for a moment. It was quiet as we all floated, relaxing. I didn’t know how long we stayed serene, enjoying the peace when Nicco had enough and decided to spice things up.
“Seriously? We’re all alone, two of us are naked, and still, no one is doing anything other than floating? Wow. I guess you do lose your sex drive when you turn thirty. I’m doomed next month.”
“You turn thirty next month?” Loren asked, sitting up.
“That’s the part you focus on.” He swam over, cupping her face between his hands. “Yes, Beautiful. I turn thirty in May. But right now, I just want to fuck you. Can we do that?”
She smiled, nodding. “Yes.”
He sealed his lips over hers, and I watched them for a few minutes, noticing the different ways she kissed each of us. It was nice to know we all had our unique approach. I moved over to Wells, watching him observing them, desire evident on his face. I pulled him into my arms, sitting back on the bench seat.
“You don’t have to be afraid of liking someone else. Even if you just want to screw around with him, it’s cool.”
“I keep hearing you and Loren say that, but something in my brain keeps stopping me. Can we just keep it us? I think I’m too worried I’ll mess it up when everything is perfect.”
