16. Ethan
SIXTEEN
ETHAN
I dropped the last package of sugar into the bin and sighed.
I’d spent the last few weeks working my ass off to ramp up orders.
I knew we needed to increase production.
While Enzo wanted to open a warehouse to work out of and have others help me, I declined.
This was my baby, and I’d be damned if I’d give out the recipe.
Enzo said it wouldn’t be that way, but I didn’t want to risk it.
I rubbed my eyes and went upstairs to find Rosalie sitting on Enzo’s lap in the living room. Knowing they couldn’t see me, I lurked near the doorway and watched them. They’d been extra close lately, which made me relieved and happy.
Rosalie kissed Enzo, leading him to a place I hadn’t been in since we’d all come home.
It wasn’t because I didn’t want to be with her like that.
Quite the opposite. I felt like I needed to get ahead on my work, and it helped when I wasn’t distracted by her beauty and smile.
Or maybe I was simply being a piece of shit.
I hated seeing the look in her eyes when she stared at me.
Sadness. Worry. If I wasn’t around for it, then it didn’t count.
At least, that’s what I kept telling myself.
When she’d come to check on me, I’d offer her a smile and tell her I just wanted to work. She let it go, but damn that look on her pretty face.
I made myself sick.
“Why don’t you join them?” Cole’s soft voice at my ear pulled me away from watching Enzo pull Rosalie down onto his dick.
I shook my head and backed away, but Cole grabbed my arm and dragged me to the kitchen.
“E, man, what the hell is going on with you? We’ve barely seen you these last few weeks. If you aren’t holed up in the basement, you’re in classes. What’s the deal?” Cole leveled his blue eyes on me.
I raked my fingers through my hair and sighed. “Just working, man.”
“OK. I work, too. Killed a guy two nights ago. I still come home and fuck my girl. When was the last time you got your dick wet?”
“You’re so vulgar,” I muttered, looking away from him.
He gripped my face and forced me to look at him.
“E, I’m serious. What’s going on with you?”
I pulled away from his hold and sighed. “Depression is a bitch, I guess.”
Cole studied me for a moment before glancing to the doorway and back again.
“How can we fix it?”
“We can’t. Unless you can go back in time and change the past, I’d say I’m fucked.” I made to move past him, but he stopped me by putting his hand in the center of my chest.
“A year ago, you almost died for the woman you love. You fought to be here, E. Don’t fucking fight to leave.”
I swallowed hard at his words. “I don’t want to leave. I feel so worthless. I told her shit about my past. It makes me feel so…” My voice trailed off.
“Makes you feel what?” he pressed.
“Disgusting. Broken. Fucked up. Pick an adjective,” I muttered.
“Rosalie doesn’t see you that way, you prick. She loves you because you’re you. I wish you could see yourself the way we see you. We love you, E. You gotta stop this shit. What can I do to help? Huh? I’ll do it.”
I stared down at my feet. “I don’t know. I guess I’m afraid she’ll be disgusted by me. Then she’ll just go. Even if she swears she won’t leave, I worry about it.”
“Think of it this way. If the roles were reversed and she were the one who had been harmed, would you leave her? Huh? Would you walk out and be disgusted by her?”
“No,” I snarled, the thought of that night with Ian entering my mind. “I’d kill the motherfucker who hurt her. I’d tear this world apart until I found him, and then I’d rip him to shreds.”
Cole raised his brows at me. “Would you still love her?”
“Of course, I’d still love her. She’s my entire fucking world.”
He gave me a sad smile. “Honestly, man. You’re making it seem like she’s just a nice vacation spot and not the place you want to live.”
I dampened my lips at his words, them hitting home hard. He was right. By trying not to fuck shit up, I was fucking shit up. Like always.
“What do I do?” I whispered.
“You either go in there and fuck her with us, or you go back to the basement and mope around. What’s it going to be?”
I looked to the doorway again. I could hear Rosalie’s soft moans as Enzo fucked her.
“I’m going home,” I said softly, peeling my shirt off and letting it fall to the floor.
“Fuck yeah. Come on. Fox is doing some football shit today. He’s one less dick to contend with.”
I shook my head at that and followed Cole back to the living room. He’d lost his clothes along the way, which only made me chuckle softly. He was always up for anything.
I lurked near the edge of the couch as Cole strode forward and pushed his dick against Rosalie’s lips. She parted for him and sucked him down. He let out a soft groan, and his head fell back while she continued riding Enzo.
She was so beautiful that it was tearing me apart. Fuck, what I wouldn’t give to keep her safe, warm, and happy for eternity. She was it. She was my everything, and here I was, lurking on the edge of her love because I was scared she’d get sick of my ass because of all my issues.
“E, get your ass over here,” Cole husked out.
I hesitated, and it didn’t take Cole long to disengage and come toward me. I said nothing and didn’t fight him as he got in my face, his lips inches from my own as he undid my pants.
They fell in a puddle around my feet before he pushed my boxers off. I flinched when he wrapped his hand around my dick and stroked me.
“Either you get your ass over to our girl and let her blow you, or I’ll fucking blow you. Pick your poison, brother,” he rasped in my ear, sending goosebumps playing across my skin.
I swallowed hard, trying to steady my breathing. It was hard for me to be touched so intimately, especially by a guy, but it was Cole, and I loved him dearly.
“Count of three, E,” he continued as he slowly ran his hand up and down my dick. “Can you do this? It’s for you and her. Come on. I’m being serious.”
I knew he was. Cole was the one always eager to experiment. Steadying myself, I nodded. He released my dick and backed away. I followed him to find Rosalie had been watching us. Enzo didn’t seem to be paying much attention, which was fine by me. One less person to witness my bullshit.
Wordlessly, I approached Rosalie and stared down at her. She said nothing, but Enzo slowed his thrusts upward into her pussy. He hadn’t even taken her dress off. Instead, the pretty lavender sundress was pushed down, revealing her full breasts, and pulled up so Enzo could get into her tight space.
Cole moved around behind me and whispered in my ear like the devil.
“Tell her what you want, E. Then fucking give it to her. She can handle it.”
It took me a moment before I reached out and fisted her hair before angling her head up to crush my lips against hers.
She moaned softly into my mouth, sending my dick straight into a hard mast.
Deciding I needed her more than Enzo did, I brought her off his lap, earning a groan of discontent from him but not giving much of a shit about it. I sank onto the cushions and brought her down on me, spearing her deeply.
She winced and let out a hiss of air as I buried myself inside her.
“Doesn’t she feel good?” Cole called out. “That wet pussy hugging your dick was made for you, E.”
I grunted out my reply, my hands on her waist as I guided her along my cock. Fuck, she felt so good. It made me hate myself more, though. I didn’t deserve someone like her. Someone so forgiving and sweet?—
Cole’s fingers twisted in my hair, pulling me out of my morose thoughts. His lips met mine in a hard kiss before he pulled away from me and smacked my face.
“Get out of your fucking head,” he said. “Or so help me, god…”
He was right. He didn’t need to be so damn forceful, but he was right.
“Sorry, sweetheart—” I started, but she kissed me, sucking the words right out of my mouth. I groaned softly as she began moving again, taking me deep into her body.
I focused on her as she fucked me, my body buzzing from the emotions and pleasure.
“Just fuck me,” she whispered against my lips.
That was it. I snapped.
I shifted her so she was on her back over Enzo’s thighs and slammed deep into her. She cried out as I fucked her on his lap.
I watched, fascinated, as Cole pushed into her mouth while she gripped Enzo’s cock.
“There you go, E. Good. Fuck her like you mean it,” Enzo snarled, egging me on.
Fuck it.
I fucked her hard and fast, eager to make her come for me. Within minutes, she was exploding, soaking Enzo and me.
“Fuck, that’s pretty,” Enzo said as she shook and cried out for me to give her more. “Give it to her, E. Make her scream.”
Cole got on his knees and whispered quickly into her ear as she quaked beneath me.
“Oh god. E-Ethan. Oh my god,” she wailed, coming again.
Enzo slapped one of her breasts, making her tense and tighten around my dick. I was barely able to keep my sanity as I continued to work her over.
“I-I can’t,” she whimpered as I jostled her body. “Oh my god.”
“Mm, Rosebud. Baby, you can. Come again for E. He loves swimming in all that pussy juice. Spread your legs wider for him and just let him have his way.”
She let her legs fall open a bit more, and Enzo wasted no time holding one of her legs while Cole grabbed the other one.
“Fuck her, E. Get that pussy and her tight little ass,” Enzo instructed.
I was a wild animal, unleashed and uninhibited.
I pulled free from her pussy before I rubbed my cock at her ass, noting how she tensed.
“Take his cock like a good girl,” Cole growled at her. “Let him fuck your ass, Rosebud.”
I pushed forward, breaching her tight ring.
She cried out, her fingernails digging into Cole’s arm as I burrowed my way into her body.
Her ass was already slick from her release, so it made insertion a hell of a lot easier.
When I bottomed out, I let out a soft groan of contentment.
I didn’t often fuck her ass, leaving it for the others because her pussy was so sweet, but I was going to make an exception today.
I moved slowly in and out of her, working her open for me before I thrust faster. Harder. I watched as her eyes rolled back, and she moaned for me, letting me know she was enjoying it.
Enzo reached out and rubbed her clit. She thrashed and jerked, but I pushed my hand onto her chest and held her in place, continuing my onslaught.
Cole played with her breasts, squeezing and kneading, tweaking her stiff peaks before he pushed a finger into her pussy while Enzo continued rubbing her clit.
She tried to squirm away, but we only went faster on her.
Within moments, she erupted, shrieking as she came, her small body violently shaking.
I’d never seen her come so hard before. She completely soaked me, setting me off. I followed, filling her ass, her name on my lips as I rode it out.
“Goddamn, that’s fucking beautiful,” Cole grunted before pulling his finger out and licking it clean.
“Fuck, Sunshine,” Enzo praised. “You’re such a good girl, baby. I’m proud of you for taking all that.”
She let out a soft whimper, her body still trembling.
I was going to pull free from her to give her a rest, but Cole moved forward and began licking her pussy, his tongue lapping at everything.
I stayed buried inside her, enjoying the way she continued to squirm and whimper for us.
I sucked in a sharp breath when Cole’s tongue swept along the portion of my shaft, which wasn’t in her ass anymore. Instead of flinching and pulling away, I breathed out and let it happen.
He didn’t linger. I wasn’t sure how I’d have responded if he had. Instead, he moved back to her clit and ate her, his finger buried in her heat again.
I stayed put, her body rocking along my cock as Cole brought her to another high. This time, when she cried out with her orgasm, I tangled my fingers in Cole’s hair and pushed his face deeper into her pussy, earning another soft groan from him and a wail of euphoria from her.
Finally, she came down from it, and he pulled away. Rather than wipe his mouth, he leaned forward and pressed his lips to Rosalie’s briefly.
“Not to be a dick, E, but I need to come,” Cole said, pulling away from her. “Unless you’re going another round, I suggest moving for me.”
I let out a soft laugh before leaning forward and giving Rosalie a gentle kiss.
“I’m sorry if I hurt you?—”
“I love it,” she said. “Don’t be sorry.”
I smiled at that, relief coursing through me. God, I loved her.
Freeing myself from her body, I moved so Cole could take my place. I watched him sink deep into her ass amid a low groan and another cry from her.
I stroked my dick, watching as he and Enzo made quick work of getting her off again before Enzo took his turn on her ass.
She never protested. She endured it like our sweet girl, making me hard again and ready to have another go.
But I wouldn’t. Not tonight. When Enzo finished, I pulled her away and lifted her into my arms. She curled against me, her body limp but still vibrating from her orgasms.
“Can I…” I asked softly, hoping the guys would let me take her.
“Go,” Enzo said, inclining his head at me. Cole winked at me as his reply. And without a moment of further hesitation, I carried her to her bedroom and placed her on the bed before running her a bubble bath.
She loved bubble baths.
They were definitely growing on me, too.
When I helped her into the tub, she sank between my legs, her back to my front. I wound my arms around her and held her against me.
“Sweetheart?” I called out.
“Mm?”
“We’re OK, right?”
She lifted my hand to her lips and pressed them to my palm. “We’ll always be OK, Ethan.”
I smiled at that, feeling like maybe I could get through another day.
For my sweetheart, I’d try.
