The Breakfast Proposal
Edward
“I need you to go brush your teeth, okay? And I mean all of them, not just the front ones.”
Alexander grumbles as he heads into the bathroom, giving Maria and me the kitchen to ourselves.
“The reason I asked about earlier, whether you liked Drake kissing you or not, is because the three of us used to kind of be in the orgy scene back in college.”
Her face goes bright red and she spits out an entire mouthful of coffee onto the counter. I think I see some of it shoot out of her nostrils.
“Oh my God...”
“Since you were sharing secrets and all, I thought it fair to share mine. Just so we’re on the same footing.”
“I don’t consider that the same footing at all!” She grabs the roll of paper towels and rips one off to dab at her nose.
That must have hurt.
“How is being in orgies the same as going to third base with a man I barely knew at the time!?”
“... now that you say it out loud, I guess it isn’t. But I can’t exactly un-speak it now, can I?”
“I really wish you hadn’t! Ugh, my sinuses.” She blows her nose while I work on cleaning up the counter.
“Bad time to ask if you’d be interested...?”
“Interested? In...! Oh my God.”
Yet, she doesn’t get up and leave the room. If she was truly offended, she would have done so already. Which means maybe I have a chance?
“Listen.” I take her hand in mine and give her the most sincere look. “If you don’t want to, just say no. It’s not that difficult. I’m not going to force you into anything you don’t want to do.”
While still holding her hand, I make my way around the island and stand behind her.
“But let me just be frank and say that you have no idea how amazing it feels until you give it a try.” I slide my other hand onto her hip and rest it there.
She stiffens against me but she doesn’t recoil. She remains silent for a long time before she finally speaks.
“How... how does it work exactly?”
A smile splits my face.
“However you want it to. If you were to say yes, you’d be the one calling the shots. The driver at the wheel, so to say. And we’d be the tools of your pleasure.”
She hums delightfully then catches herself, trying to play off her response as nothing.
Sounds like she’s already keen on the idea.
“How... would that even work? You’d just line up and take turns?”
“If that’s how you want to do it. Or two at once. Or all three of us at the same time. It really depends on what you’re comfortable with.”
“All three at...”
Maria suddenly stands and pulls away. She turns away before I can see her expression and heads into my bathroom.
Have I gone too far?
“All done.” Alexander bolts out of the bathroom, looking proud at completing his task. At least what he thinks is a good job, anyway.
“Did you rinse out your toothbrush?”
“Yeah.”
“And put the cap back on the toothpaste?”
“Yeah!”
“Good job.” I hold up my hand and he gives me a high-five. From my bedroom, I can hear the sounds of rushing water.
I hope I didn’t fluster her too much.
“I’m going to have a talk with Miss Bailey for a second, okay? You want to draw for a few minutes?”
He shakes his head, disappears into his room, and returns with one of his books to read. One that he definitely can’t read on his own.
“Get one of the ones out of your drawer in the corner.”
He relents with a look of disappointment. Even if he doesn’t find what he’s looking for, his search will keep him busy for a few more minutes.
I peek inside my bathroom and find Maria splashing cold water onto her face. I stay by the doorway to give her some space.
“Did I get you all hot and bothered?”
She looks at my reflection in the mirror but averts her gaze just as quickly.
“You don’t need to be embarrassed about it if it turns you on, Maria. It’s just human nature.”
“I’m just...” She scrubs at her face with a towel, trying to get rid of the skin-deep blush still radiating from her cheeks.
“Miss Fisher... Chelsea... I went to her union ceremony with those three firefighters who were in the hospital when she gave birth. They’re all...”
Ah. It makes sense now why the paperwork was so confusing.
“And you’re afraid you’ll go down the same path?” I finally draw closer. She looks like she needs a friend right now.
“No, it’s all just... It all feels too coincidental. Like some kind of weird plague is going around.” Her weak chuckle sounds more sad than happy.
I slip behind her and circle my arms around her waist, my chin propped up on her shoulder. She looks at me for a while before resting her hand on my cheek.
“Will it... hurt?”
“Not in the way that you think. And only if you want it to. I’m open to anything, as long as you find it pleasurable.”
Her cheeks flush hot again. Most of the fear is gone from her eyes.
“How would it work? All three of you.”
“Well, one of us could be here.” I reach down and press my hand against her front. “Or two of us at the same time.”
“Would that even fit!?”
“Maria... A woman can birth a whole baby out of there. You’d be surprised how versatile the vaginal canal can be.
The third person could be behind. Or in here.
” I lovingly wrap a hand around her throat, my fingertips trailing down her throat.
The thought of being balls deep down her throat is already making me hard again.
“You could go slower, like you said, taking us one at a time while the rest of us watch. I could go down on you while you suck one of us off.” I sigh heavily at the imagery dancing through my mind.
“I could go on and on about the different positions one could take in a foursome, but that would take the rest of the day.” I gently squeeze her mound through her jeans, and the softest of sighs escapes her.
Her nipples are erect through her shirt, tugging at the fabric and pulling it into twin points.
Goddamn, is she beautiful.
“I’ll just let you think about it, okay? And if you think it’s something you want to try, I’ll let the guys know.”
“Would... Drake be okay with that? He seems a little possessive.”
“I know he acts that way, but he knows to respect boundaries when it comes to intimacy. It’s the romantic stuff he’s shit at.”
Maria clears her throat and covers my hand with hers to keep it in place.
“Now I regret not taking advantage of those ten minutes...” she whispers. I can see the lust in her eyes.
“Too little, too late.” I squeeze her a little harder and she moans for me, just the way I like it.
“Now get out there. You have a job to do.” I kiss the side of her neck and depart to get ready for work. Leaving her hot and bothered should definitely make for an interesting evening when I get back.
