Chapter 33 Friendly Fire
Friendly Fire
Eli
Harper looks stunned as she stares at Luke like he’s grown another head. Maybe he has. None of us considered keeping Harper at the start of this. We wanted to fuck her and teach her how to fuck us, but this has shifted into a whole different discussion.
Caden’s right though. We need her to apply to colleges close to ours. We don’t even know where she’s applied so far. I’m not doing a long-distance relationship. If that’s where this is headed, with us staying with her long term.
She finally opens her English text and squirms for a moment to get comfortable. My cock twitches. I have to hand it to Caden. Her sitting on my cock made concentrating almost impossible. Her plush walls squeezing my cock without fucking her was torture.
Sharing my night with Jack doesn’t upset me. We have a good time together and our temperaments match well. The times we’ve shared a girl were interesting. Having Harper and him under my control will be exquisite.
I check my app and my parents are still in separate places as far away from home as possible. If their marriage is any clue to my future, I can’t see doing that to Harper. Locking her into a relationship that should have ended years ago.
But there’s a part of me that isn’t ready to give her up.
She’s right. None of us have had a girlfriend, except Nico. And this isn’t a normal relationship—five guys to one girl. Once we leave this little kingdom we’ve built for ourselves, the rules will change.
Everything will change. But we have months to worry about that. Right now, we just have to make sure we all graduate and whoever is fucking around with our girl gets what’s coming to them.
I get my statistics homework done and lean back in my chair, ready for the next show. Harper squirms on Nico’s lap as she reads her text. Her cheeks are flushed, and her lips are parted. Is she sore or just horny?
This is new. Playing with a girl like this. Sure, we’ve talked about sharing before, but not to this extent. Jack and I. Caden and Jack. Luke never—he’s a possessive bastard. And Nico wasn’t here.
Nico leans in and whispers something in Harper’s ear, so quiet it’s barely a sound.
All those summers with us, Nico never asked about her. Never once mentioned he had a friend besides us in school. He was our original leader until he had to move away.
He hasn’t tried to unseat Luke now. We saw Nico in the summers over the years, but it wasn’t the same. We work together effortlessly on the football field, but off the field, he withdrew.
“Fuck,” Harper’s whisper is like a shotgun blast in the quiet room. She leans back against Nico and whispers in his ear.
He nods, and his gaze meets mine. “Yellow.”
“What do you need, kitten?” There are a few more minutes on her clock.
She blushes. “A bathroom break.”
Nico is already helping her stand.
“Oh,” she sounds surprised as she looks down at her thigh and sees our cum leaking down it.
“Go on, kitten. Feel free to clean up as you need to.” I didn’t really expect her to be able to hold all our cum inside her, but some night we’ll make that happen, keep her on her back as we fill her until she’s overflowing.
She nods and hurries to the downstairs bathroom. Nico grabs a napkin from the table and cleans up what already leaked out onto him.
“Messy business.” He chuckles.
This whole thing is messy. I check to make sure the door to the bathroom is closed.
“Did you fix your shit with her?” They were gone for a long time to get their homework. I’m hoping he took that time to fix them.
Nico lifts his gaze from his cock to my eyes. “I’m working on it.”
That’s a no. “Did she talk to you about it at least?”
He crumples the napkin in his hand, and his attention shifts to the door she’s behind. “She can be stubborn.”
So can he. Fuck. We need to be united. “You need to fix that shit because that will fester.”
“Yeah.” He blows out a breath, and his gaze goes to Luke, who’s busy reading. I don’t miss the look. “I’ll figure it out.”
“Do we need to sort through shit?” I narrow my eyes, because football camps were a couple weeks in the summer. This is a whole fucking school year and we’re trusting him to take care of someone who...
My mind goes blank as it tries to fill in what Harper means to us.
Fuck it. She’s ours.
Ours to take care of. Ours to fuck. Ours to protect.
The bathroom door opens, and we all turn to watch her walk back.
“Come here, little nympho.”
Her gaze jerks to Caden from Nico before returning to Nico. He nods and bends over his paper.
I lean back in my chair and slide my pen through my fingers.
She walks to Caden and he lifts her onto the table in front of him. He spreads her knees wide and grins while licking his lips. Smiling, she presses her hands on the table behind her, arching her back. She took the tie out of her hair so her hair falls with the tips brushing the table.
Caden leans in and takes her pussy into his mouth, warming her up for Nico’s cock again. Her breath catches and then her breasts rise and fall with each pant. Her eyes grow hooded as she watches Caden’s head between her legs.
Nico sits beside Caden. He’s getting the full show, which is probably intentional to get him going too. Not that it takes much with Harper.
Those needy noises she makes right before she comes fill the room, making my cock harden. Good thing she’s needy, because we have plenty of stamina to keep her well-fucked.
“Oh, fuck, Caden. Right there. Don’t stop.” She cries out as she shatters, but all of us perk up at that vocalization. I see the challenge in Luke’s eyes, the curiosity in Jack’s, the eagerness in Nico’s. And when Caden lifts his mouth from her pussy, the satisfaction in his.
“I’d say we all fill her back up, but I’m not sure we have enough time.” Caden thrusts his fingers into her pussy and she groans as she curls into it, coming again with a low moan. “Plenty wet enough to sit on your cock.”
Nico holds out his hand to her, and she slides off the table in front of Caden. She grabs the back of Caden’s neck and drags him down to kiss him. His hands slide under her skirt and he grabs her ass, baring it for all of us.
When she releases him, he smacks her ass as she walks over to Nico. He has a side chair without arms, so she straddles his lap facing us and lifts her skirt. Nico holds his cock for her to sink down on.
We all watch her take his cock into her. She’s better than any porn I’ve ever seen.
Pressing her back against his chest, she trembles against him, but doesn’t come. He breathes out. He still has a few minutes. After a few seconds, she grabs his hands from his paper and places them over her breasts as her hips begin to roll on his.
“Harper.” His tone is a warning she doesn’t heed.
“Nico.” She reaches between their legs and caresses his balls as she slides her pussy over him. Her other hand works her clit like she’s been doing this for years instead of a few weeks.
I set my pen to the side and fold my hands on my paper. She’s doing this for a reason, but I can’t tell if it’s just to get off again or if she wants something else.
Nico’s breathing is heavy as she works herself on him. His hands slide down to her hips to try to make her stop, but even I can tell it’s too late. She’s already there. She cries out as her pussy clamps down on his cock, making him groan.
“Fuck.” He thrusts his cock up into her, chasing after his release.
When that doesn’t seem like enough, he lifts her onto the table and rails her hard.
His hips are punishing as he thrusts his cock in and out of her.
Her hands brace on the table as she turns her face to the side.
A wicked little smile plays on her lips.
Luke sits forward. “Nico.”
Glaring at Luke, Nico thrusts in one more time and comes inside her. He immediately pulls out and backs away. As he stares at his cum dripping out of her pussy, he puts his cock away and zips up his pants.
She takes a deep breath and pushes upright.
Her cheeks are redder than usual, but otherwise she’s no worse for wear. She turns and looks up at Nico with a blank expression.
“I guess you don’t get a night.” She shrugs like it isn’t that big of a deal. She straightens her skirt and walks around the table to Luke. “May I have my panties, please? I’d like to go clean up.”
Luke’s gaze hasn’t left Nico as he hands her the panties. She takes those and grabs her shirt too.
Caden watches everyone with wary eyes as Harper returns to the bathroom and shuts the door.
“What the fuck did you say to her?” Luke leans on the table menacingly.
Nico slumps in his chair. “Nothing worth repeating apparently. Why the fuck do you care? You’ll just sleep with her when you want to anyway.”
“That.” Luke gestures to the bathroom door. “Wasn’t nothing.”
“Yeah, well, I need to head home.” Nico grabs his book and stuffs it in his backpack. “We doing anything tonight?”
“No.” I watch him closely, waiting for him to give me more information. There’s anger, frustration, and maybe even a little hurt in his expression. “Family dinners all around I’m afraid. We’ll sort out the week tonight on webcam.”
Nico nods and his gaze softens when it lands on the door. I don’t know what the fuck that was, but he cares about her. He runs his hand through his hair, and his dark eyes meet mine. “Tell her—”
“Tell her what?” Harper comes out of the bathroom, put together with her hair in a messy bun. “Tell her that you’re an ass who wouldn’t know how to be in a relationship even if you’re the only one of us who’s actually been in one?”
None of us speak. This is their issue. It affects us all though because we need to be a cohesive unit. Not crumbling at the seams.
He shakes his head. “I didn’t know you’d be a little lap dog for the other guys. But for me, the guy who actually gives a shit about you, I’m the one you just can’t seem to care about.”
“Grow the fuck up, Nico. We’re not kids anymore.” She crosses her arms over her chest.
His eyes narrow before he grabs his bag and storms out of the room. No one moves for a moment as she glares at his retreating back. The door slams as he leaves the house.
Not sure what that was all about, but I’ll get to the bottom of it.
“Gatorade, sweetheart?” Jack holds one out to her.
Her hard eyes turn to him before they soften, and she kind of crumples back into Harper. “Thanks, Jack.”
She takes it and returns to her normal seat with her things. We get back to studying and the tension eases out of the room. Pages turning and pens scratching are the only sounds as we focus on our work.
After twenty minutes, Jack and Caden kiss her on the temple and take their leave.
Luke looks pensive still, but that could be because he has dinner with his dad.
When he goes over to kiss her goodbye, she takes his hand and holds it for a moment while she tips her chin up to him, offering him her lips.
He cups her face and kisses her softly before he glances at me with a nod.
“You’ll get her home.” Luke’s voice sounds a little gruff, and he clears his throat. It’s not a question.
“Of course.”
He nods and walks out.
I work on cleaning up my homework. “Do you have more to do? Or do you want me to take you home?”
Sighing, she puts her hands over her eyes. “This is fucked, isn’t it?”
I walk around the table and lower into the seat next to her. I don’t usually ask her shit, but this needs to be discussed. “What’s fucked?”
“This.” She gestures to me and herself and the empty room. “We don’t make sense. I don’t know that I can forgive Nico.”
Not saying a word, I wait. She doesn’t need me to give her a solution. At least, not yet.
“I tried. I told him we just needed to start over and—”
“Ouch.” I wince.
Her eyes narrow. “What?”
“That’s pretty harsh for a guy you’ve already fucked. He thought he was winning you, and you pulled the rug out from under him.” I sit back and put my hands on my stomach. “I’m not saying I agree, but that’s probably what he thought. What did he do?”
“Demanded I get undressed.”
Fucking Nico. Yeah, that’s not going to win her over. It’s curious because we’ve all done the same things to her, but somehow Nico doesn’t get to just fuck her to get past this. There’s something more to what’s happening between them. A history at play that maybe none of us are privy to.
“Want to tell me what he whispered that made that happen?” I point to the chair she rode Nico on.
Her lips press together like she’s getting ready to fight. “No.”
Hmm. “Okay.”
Her face clears when she realizes I’m not going to press the issue.
“One more thing, kitten.”
She meets my gaze. “What, sir?”
Fuck, that’s good. My hand wraps around the back of her neck, and I draw her in close.
“Good girl,” I whisper before I claim her lips.
“No, Margaret.” My mother’s voice makes Harper stiffen in my arms, but I don’t release her. “I don’t know when Mr. Jacobs will be home. Oh, can I call you back?”
Pulling back from the kiss, I look into Harper’s panicked eyes.
“Eli.” Mother tucks her phone into her pocket. “I didn’t know you were home and with a friend.”
I wince because she’s caught me with Ashley and a few others before. I don’t hide my sex life from my parents, because they don’t hide their marital problems from me. It seems fair.
“We were just leaving.” Standing, I take Harper’s hand.
Mom’s attention drops to our hands, and she pulls a tight smile before raising her gaze to mine. She doesn’t bother looking at Harper.
“You’ll be here for dinner, right? Your father and I want to talk to you about colleges.
” Mom brushes some lint off her skirt. “We want to discuss what your thoughts are and make sure you’ve applied to the correct universities.
I’m sure you’ve applied to the ones I’ve sent you, but your father is concerned you didn’t look into his list.”
Harper shifts on her feet, and I draw her closer. Her startled eyes look up into mine. Like I’ve seen a million times with Luke and Caden, she softens and hugs me. Warmth surges through me, not in a I want to fuck her way.
I’ve known why they want to keep her.
But in this moment, when she senses I need her comfort and gives it so freely, I get it. The tightness in my chest eases, and I slide my arm around her shoulders and kiss the top of her head.
My mother’s mouth hangs open as she watches, but I just breathe in Harper’s vanilla scent.
She draws away and smiles before holding her hand out to my mother.
“I’m Harper, Eli’s girlfriend.”
My mother’s lips pinch, and she worries at her necklace while staring at Harper’s hand like it’s a snake.
She arches an eyebrow at me like I should do something.
“Mom, this is Harper Davidson, my girlfriend.”
