Chapter 50
Nix
N ope. It’s time to stop skirting around these feelings and face things for exactly what they are. She’s letting the whole world keep her from doing what she wants, and that’s where I draw the line. This is the only way for all of us to move forward.
Fucking hell. Who have I become? I’m literally over here championing for her to bang my bandmates, but it’s what she wants. Her saying she can’t consider it now proves that it had been on her mind. She will just have to thank me later for what’s about to happen.
I don't bother knocking on the door before bursting into Lane's room. Thankfully, they’re both inside and fully clothed. As I walk toward the bed, they untangle their bodies, sitting up to see why I’m invading their space.
For the first time in a long time, I find myself at a loss for words.
Do I just come out with it? 'Hey guys, I need you to come have sex with Alara and me.
' Lane is for sure going to jump on the opportunity.
River will probably think I'm fucking insane.
At this point, I also think I'm insane. It seemed like a better idea before I had to actually figure out how to vocalize it .
"Did you come in here to stare at us?" Lane interrupts my spiraling thoughts.
"No," is all I say.
"Well, what do you need?" Lane’s hand extends in a ‘what the fuck’ sort of motion.
I take another moment to try and grow enough balls to actually say the words I need to. Why is this so difficult?
"For fuck’s sake, man. Spit it out. You look constipated." Lane laughs.
"Really?" River shakes his head.
"What? He looks like he's in pain. Whatever issues are going on in that brain of his is making his face look weird." Lane shrugs.
"Would you stop talking? Just give me a second," I interrupt him, pinching the bridge of my nose.
Inhale. I think. After breathing in deeply, I blink a few times and keep my face as neutral as possible. "I need you to come with me, right now, and have sex with Alara."
Yep. I just said that, out loud. River starts coughing, and Lane bursts into a fit of laughter as I look between the pair. They react exactly how I expected before finally pulling their shit together and realizing I’m not joking around.
"Wait, you're serious?" Lane's brows pinch together.
"Yes."
"There's no way we're doing that." River shakes his head.
"I'm aware of what you’re thinking, but I need you two to just come in there and do her with me. "
"Do her with you?" Lane smirks, trying his best to keep composed. “This feels like a trap.”
"Fucking hell." I start pacing. "I know this sounds insane. I also know you both want to sleep with her, so let’s go. Don’t try to pretend that you don’t."
Lane hops off the bed, placing the back of his palm on my forehead. "Are you feeling okay?"
I swat him away, annoyed over how complicated they’re making this.
I said what I said. The fact that it needs to be repeated is pissing me off.
This is for her, to help get her out of her head and move past all the accusations in those articles.
Rip off the Band-Aid. Just get the first awkward orgy out of the way. It doesn’t have to be so complex.
Maybe I should include everyone. I don't know the damn rules when it comes to something like this, but Ender is too... Well, he's too Ender. The last thing we need to happen is for him to ruin the moment somehow.
"Earth to Nix." Lane waves his hand in my face, and I smack it again.
"Stop that." I sigh.
"You were off in that chaotic little brain of yours, which by the way, is insane for even suggesting me and Riv pop in there with you and get her naked."
"I actually agree with him, for once," River starts. "She's not going to just be okay with us..." He trails off for a minute, waving his hand in the air. "You know."
"Fucking her," Lane helps him finish .
"Can you stop being so abrasive?" River scowls.
"Okay, fine." Lane turns, clasping his hands in front of him, and sways from side to side. "Sorry, I meant make love."
River tosses a pillow in his direction, but he ducks out of the way, laughing. I'm glad he thinks this is so amusing.
"You're serious about this?" River eyes me cautiously.
"If it wasn't a genuine offer, I wouldn't be in here dealing with that ass hat." I point toward Lane. “Maybe, I should have just asked Ender instead.”
"If we go in there and she says no, I'm out," River states.
"That's fair." I pause. "But I don't think she's going to."
"Okay, I’ll do it," River concedes.
I turn to face Lane, waiting for his answer, even though I already know. He's been looking for a reason to take their relationship to the next level since she moved in.
"Let's go have a naked party with the hot girl in the other room." Lane practically skips out of the room, pulling off his shirt to toss it behind him in the process.
"This might be the worst idea I've ever had," I mutter, following closely behind. "Hey!" I whisper-shout, trying to get his attention before he makes it to her room.
He turns to glance at me, nothing but pure mischief across every bit of his expression. "Yes, sir? Do you have other demands from us?"
"Yeah, actually. That. Don't do that." I narrow my eyes as River stops beside me.
"Do what?" A boyish grin spreads across Lane's face .
"You know what I'm talking about. I've heard you tossing River around, making him crawl and stuff. Don't be too dominating with her, at least not right away. It might freak her out even more."
"Yeah, you're right. Me telling her to get on her knees is going to freak her out way more than you walking in there and saying she's about to go to pound town with all three of us."
"Just read the room, asshole. This is going to be a lot for her." I shake my head.
He needs to understand that if this doesn't go right the first time, his chances of it happening again are pretty slim.
"You should be wooing me, too." Lane pokes my forehead.
"Alright, forget it. I changed my mind. Get out of here." I shake my head.
"Nope. Gotta catch me first." Lane rushes ahead, stopping for just a moment before winking at me and disappearing into her room.
"If this goes south, it was your idea," River says under his breath as he walks past me.
This isn't going to go south. Everything will be fine. I'm just asking my girlfriend to have sex with me and my bandmates at the same time so she's less stressed. It's totally normal. It's definitely not going to be weird. I really hope it's not going to be weird.
