Chapter 29
Twenty-Nine
Enzo
We were making dinner when I heard Violet’s phone vibrate on the island. I picked it up and went to hand it to her when I noticed the text message. She didn’t have any privacy settings turned on, which allowed me to read the message.
I pressed my lips together, trying to figure out the best way to approach it, when I felt Asher look at me with a frown. I shook my head, letting him know nothing was wrong.
While I didn’t want to embarrass Violet because I was thrilled that she had friends she felt comfortable talking with, I was also dying to know more about what their conversation had been about, given the text message she received.
Before I could figure anything out, she turned around to grab something and spotted me holding her phone. I was still staring at the message with a cocky grin on my face as I read it for the third time.
Lia: So, Enzo’s an eater and Asher likes to finger fuck... Sounds like you have a winning combination.
I handed her the phone and felt a wave of heat rush over me as her eyes immediately went to the text message once she took it. She covered her mouth and closed her eyes as she stood there, too embarrassed to speak.
“What’s going on?” Asher asked, coming to stand beside Violet.
“Nothing,” Violet murmured as I let out a soft laugh.
“Violet was just getting a text message from a friend who approves of her situation.”
Her eyes flew open as she pinned me with a look.
“That was a private message,” she hissed, but I could tell that she was more embarrassed than pissed off. While I didn’t want her to be embarrassed, I definitely didn’t want her pissed off at me either.
“Sorry, sweetheart. If there aren’t privacy settings in place, anyone can read your messages. But I agree with your friend. You do have a winning combination, if I do say so myself.”
She hung her head and groaned as she shook it.
“I never should have told them anything.”
“Why not?” I asked as I stood in front of her, putting my hands on her hips.
“It’s good to have friends to talk to, Vi.
It’s okay to talk about that kind of stuff with them.
I’m sorry that I embarrassed you by reading your message.
That wasn’t my intention. Honestly, I didn’t know that I would be able to read the text message until I picked it up to give it to you.
You can’t blame me, though, for reading it, given that it said my name. ”
Violet let out a heavy breath and let her shoulders fall before looking up at me.
“I’m really sorry,” I said again, gently squeezing her hips. “But it’s not a lie. I do like to eat, and Asher does like to finger fuck.”
“Hey, I like to eat too,” Asher countered with a pout.
“You have yet to prove it,” I replied, loving the way Violet’s body softly shuddered as if thinking about what it would feel like if he ate her out.
“Well, I say we drop all of this conversation about... that stuff... and eat dinner before it gets cold,” Violet said, pulling her shoulders down as she looked between us.
“So, what you’re saying is that we need to eat dinner now, before it gets cold. But then I can eat you after dinner?” Asher said, his tongue pressing against the side of his mouth.
Violet full-on shuddered under my touch, making my cock twitch in response.
I chuckled and shook my head, loving how easily Asher could get to her with just a few well-played words.
“Let’s sit down and eat,” I said, gently guiding her to the table while Asher got everything ready.
***************
After dinner, Violet was resting on the couch with Asher while they watched TV.
I loved how comfortable she seemed with us and hated the idea that her staying with us could be temporary.
The way she let him pull her feet onto his lap so he could rub them made me feel like maybe this could really work for the three of us.
While Asher and I had shared plenty of women in the bedroom, this would be the first time that we’d ever allowed ourselves to have feelings for one.
I knew that being in a relationship was important to Violet, but what I hadn’t expected was how deeply I would feel the need to be in one with her as well.
It wasn’t just me and Vi that I wanted to be together. It was the three of us.
I sat down in the chair across from them and got comfortable when I felt Violet’s gaze fall upon me.
“Why don’t you come sit with us?” she asked, smiling at me.
“I don’t want to make it crowded. You guys seem pretty comfortable where you are.”
“Please.” She rolled her eyes, which totally did something to me in the best way. “There’s always plenty of room. I’ll scoot forward, and you can come sit behind me.”
Asher nodded, letting me know that he was cool with it. I didn’t want to intrude on his time with Violet, but the fact that they both wanted me to sit with them meant that I was on the right page with thinking there could be something there for the three of us.
I got up and sat down in the corner of the sofa behind Violet, wondering how we were all going to fit, until she got up and let me get situated.
“If you turn that way, I can lean against your chest,” she said, pointing with her finger to show me where she wanted me.
I did as she asked and felt a heaviness in my chest as she crawled in between my legs and rested her head against my chest. I wrapped my arms around her and held her while Asher pulled her legs over his lap again and continued rubbing her feet.
I tried not to overthink anything as we sat there together on the couch, seamlessly blending into the perfect throuple.
