I touch my lips as I get into my car. I didn’t want to kiss her in front of Roman, just because he was telling us to. I’m not about that dom and sub stuff. I want her to want to kiss me because of me. Not just because I’m an option. Not just because I’m hot.
If that’s what I wanted, I could get on Tinder. On some level, even the smallest level, we have to like each other for me to be into it. That last comment she made did it. I don’t know why, but I feel like I got to see the real Bella.
She’s sexy without trying and that bit of genuine connection was enough. And that one, long, delicious kiss gets me through Friday until I’m at home. Gunner must have brought Bella home early because I recognize her giggle from the couch.
“Gunner!” She squeaks. “Can’t you behave for five minutes?”
“Behave like what? Like I’m not absolutely into you?” He snorts. “Why pretend? We should let our bodies do the talking.”
I hear a thud and Bella laughs. “Did you do that for me to play nurse?”
“Maybe I did. Maybe I even have a costume in the closet.”
Bella pops up, sees me, and gives me a huge smile. She helps Gunner up and tells him to stay on the couch while she gets him some ice. She kisses my cheek and squeezes my hand. “Welcome home, Matthew.”
And what a welcome. I’d love to hear her say that regularly. But she grabs an ice pack out of the freezer and prances back to the kitchen, putting it against the back of Gunner’s head.
“It’s sweet that you get so excited over me, but why don’t we try to keep it on the couch.”
“So the floor is where you draw the line?”
She laughs again. Gunner sighs and looks over at me. “Matthew, you want to come canoodle?”
Sharing is still new to me. I’m not quite sure how to do it and until I’m convinced Bella likes it for more than pleasing others, I’m not going to get involved. “No, but I’ll go get Holden.”
“Thank you!” Bella calls. “I have to be on my best – Gunner! No, leave that on.”
I shake my head. Gunner wouldn’t know the meaning of patience if he read it in the dictionary. I knock on Holden’s door and he comes out wearing only jeans. He sighs. “Is it finally time for wine?”
“Bella came over.”
Holden blinks at me as if he doesn’t understand. But he follows me back to the kitchen and we find Gunner wrapped around Bella, devouring her mouth with hungry kisses. She moans and climbs onto his lap while he undoes the buttons of her shirt.
“So Roman isn’t full of shit.” Holden fills his glass with wine, almost overfills as he watches.
I don’t blame him. Bella tosses her shirt to the side and lets Gunner kiss over her chest. She rubs her fingers into his shoulders, then looks at us. Her face is flushed and she pulls out a naughty smile.
“Anyone else want to join?”
“Am I not enough for you, baby?” Gunner asks.
“Oh, you’re very good. But the more the merrier.”
Gunner chuckles. “You’re going to fit right in.”
Holden takes a drink of wine, then walks over to Bella. While Gunner licks and kisses her breasts, Holden offers her his glass. She drinks happily, then licks her bottom lip. “Hi, Holden.”
He lifts her chin and kisses her slowly. I know he can’t resist. Not when she uses that purring voice. She tangles her tongue with his in a way I can see from here. I chuckle to myself. Well, she’s definitely not shy. And my question about her wanting this as much as the guys is gone.
Gunner tosses her onto the couch and she squeaks. I hear clothing move and almost go to watch, but something pricks at me. I don’t quite know what it is. So instead of lingering in the kitchen, watching whatever they’re doing on the couch, I head to my room and get a shower. When I come down in jeans and a t-shirt, I get to see Holden come.
He groans low and deep and Bella picks her head up, licking her lips. Holden rubs his thumb over her chin, catching some that she missed. “Good girl, Bella.”
She makes a pleased sound, then gasps. Gunner thrusts into her harder and faster as she bounces on his lap. He lets her ride him reverse cowgirl and his head falls back over the couch. He’s lost to the world and ….
My brain comes to a dead halt when I realize Roman’s watching. His face is nearly unreadable, but his eyes are utterly and completely focused on Bella. Just like she’s focused on him. It’s like she’s putting on a show.
“Help me make you come, Gunner,” She pants. “help me.”
He guides her hips and they moan together. Roman nods to her. “Prove you’re a good girl for me, Bella. That you can follow all my rules.”
I scratch the back of my head. I shouldn’t enjoy this! I turn around and shake my head. Bella is choosing to do this. It’s her choice. It’s her body. Her gorgeous, goddess-like body. Tight, curvaceous, sexy as hell.
I glance over my shoulder and catch another look at her, her head bent back, eyes closed, mouth parted in ecstasy.
I know that she’ll be the source of my fantasies and my solo sessions for a while after this. She gets louder and whimpers, then shouts Gunner’s name as she comes apart. Gunner groans long and low, and I know he’s finished too.
“Best action this living room has gotten in too long,” He pants.
Bella kisses him. I hear a pat and Bella laughs. “Are you falling asleep on me, Gunner? You should make more time for fun if you’re already ready for a nap.”
“Mm,” He says.
“Were you good?” Roman demands. “Follow all my rules?’
“All of them,” She says with conviction. “I behaved perfectly.”
She seems to be waiting for something. He grunts. “On your knees then.”
“But you’re supposed to fuck me.”
“I said if you were good you’d get my cock. I’ll fuck your sweet throat, but I’m not going to take your pussy yet.”
“Tease,” She grumbles.
But a few seconds later, I can hear her taking him. She gags at one point, but Roman instructs her on how to take him so that doesn’t happen. How to guide his cock down her throat.
He’s a dom sure, but he’s not a fucking sadist.
Gunner pats my back as he comes in. “You could fuck her while she does that. She enjoys having both.”
“I don’t know her well enough,” I say simply.
He considers that, not opposed to standing naked in the kitchen. “That’s fair. You should get to know her, man. She’s a good one.”
She might be good for them, but I have reservations. Nothing against Bella at all, but if I don’t know how genuine she is, then it almost doesn’t matter how attractive she is. I can’t say it doesn’t matter at all, because she definitely knocks my socks off and for the last two weeks, she’s made me smile and laugh at work.
I look forward to seeing her in the office. Half because of her sexy ass and half because of the smile she gives me whenever she sees me. Gunner asks me about dinner plans and we go back and forth until Roman finishes. He’s no where near as loud as Gunner.
“I’ll show you where we can clean up,” Roman says.
Bella walks over to me and kisses my shoulder. “Still want to go on that date?”
“He can’t.” Gunner says after reading my face. “Miles is stuck at the office with way too many calls, so Matthew has to head back.”
“Oh.” She actually looks disappointed. “Well, remember there’s a whole life outside of work, okay? People can get stressed and forget all about it. Then they wake up for retirement and it’s too late to hit the bucket list.”
She lets Roman pull her away, but her eyes return to me. Just like Gunner, she has no problem being naked around the house. But considering I know she’s been with Miles too, I wonder how this is going to end.
We’ve shared for a night. Singular. Never multiple. And the longer this goes on, the more feelings that are going to get involved. I pat Gunner’s shoulder. “Thanks.”
“No problem. I’m feeling a little greedy right now anyway. Kind of want her all to myself, to focus on me and just me. Instead of watching Roman while I’m inside her.”
And there’s the first clue that we’re going to have a problem. Luckily, the weekend comes and I get to ignore Bella – related things until she’s back in the house. Miles tells her to wait in the living room and to enjoy herself with barely contained meaning.
I adjust my shirt and actually look at her. Her hair is pinned back and she has on a sexy pink dress. It’s a dusty-rose color and compliments her well. She beams when she sees me. “Matthew!”
“Going out to dinner?”
“Miles asked.” She nods. “Do you want to join? You should! I feel like we haven’t really gotten to talk at all. Not since my first day.”
“I’d like to. But if Miles asked you … his time is valuable and I don’t want to intrude.”
She shakes her head and takes my hand in both of hers. The warmth spreads up my arm. Her eyes widen and she pulls herself closer. “Did I do something wrong, Matthew?”
“No.” I shake my head. “No, not at all.”
“You’re not working on a Sunday, are you?” Her voice gets sharper. “I meant it when I said not to work yourself too hard. You’ll end up sick.”
“I’ll be fine.”
“I’d miss you around the office. But maybe you should take some time off. Let off some steam. Stress really is a killer.”
I blink at her in surprise. She squeezes my hand. “Come out with us tonight. Just conversation. I promise. I’ll be on my best behavior and everything.”
“Hey now. Good behavior isn’t on the table,” Miles says.
Bella keeps looking at me. I motion. “Go have fun. I’d just be a stick in the mud.”
She pouts slightly, but lets Miles take her out. Her eyes flick back to me and I bite my lip. Nick gives me a long look. He and I are on the most similar wave length. He pats my shoulder. “You deserve to enjoy yourself, Matthew. Nothing serious. It’s all casual with Bella. Let’s enjoy this while it lasts. It’s not forever.”
“I know. I’m just …”
“Something rubbing you wrong?”
“It’s not that either. I can’t … put it into words.” I shake my head. “Maybe I am working myself to death.”
“Good thing we only have a four day week before the party this weekend. Try just talking to Bella. Take her to lunch or something – only if you want to, of course.” Nick encourages. “There are many sides to her, but they’re all genuine.”
I nod. I don’t doubt him. Nick reads people well. I just doubt my ability to avoid forming an attachment. I’ve never done the ‘fling’ thing and honestly, it’s mildly terrifying. Sargent used to say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks … but being able to have a fling with Bella might be something worth figuring out.
