Chapter 19
JOSIAH
I couldn't remember the last time I was around so many people. Especially when none of those people where telling me to leave.
Underneath my skin itched, waiting for those words. Waiting for someone to realise I was here, where I didn't belong. Both Connor and Riley occasionally gave me glances, reminding me of the amount of times they'd said those words.
Tonight, I got the impression they regretted them, although neither was going out of their way to say sorry. Instead, they were acting like this was the new normal and there was nothing to question about it. The past couldn't be erased, but we could move on.
If they thought I wouldn't bring it up at some point, they were out of their minds. For now though, I kept my peace and so did they. All that mattered right now was Leah.
"Let's get this cleaned up." Connor stood and started to gather up bowls.
"That was so good." Riley patted his stomach.
I had to admit Connor's homemade apple pie and ice cream was surprisingly delicious. I'd say I had no idea he could cook like that, but what did I really know about him anyway? Not much outside the adventure tours. We never had a conversation that wasn't hostile.
"It was amazing." Leah stood and started to help, before Connor waved her off.
Taking the initiative, I grabbed her wrist and drew her over to the couch. Before any of them could say or do anything, I sat with her on my lap, my arms around her.
She twisted around to look at me and smile, making my heart thud in my chest. "Hey there."
I brushed hair off the side of her face.
"Hey." Very eloquent, Josiah. I wasn't a man of many words to start with. Tonight, I'd used up my quota and then some. I wanted to rely on another method of communication instead.
I cupped the back of her head and held her there while I lowered my mouth to hers. Tasting her sweet, plush lips. I pressed my tongue between them, insisting on access. She opened her mouth, letting me inside, her tongue stroking mine.
I dropped my hand to her back, sliding it up under her shirt. Savouring the smooth expanse of skin before I flicked open the hooks of her bra.
"Leave some for me." Brooks sat beside me and turned her face to him so he could taste her mouth.
While they kissed, I worked her shirt up to her neck. They had to break off so he and I could pull it over her head and out of the way. The straps of her bra slid down her arms, letting her breasts fall free.
"Fuck, she's pretty," Brooks said.
I gave him a sharp look. "She's beautiful."
"You guys aren't bad yourselves," she said with a soft laugh.
"I'm okay," I said with a sideways look down toward the floor.
"You're better than okay, right Brooks?" she insisted.
I raised my gaze to look at both of them, just as Brooks replied with a short nod. I didn't expect him to say anything more, and he didn't, but the look he gave me said more than words would have anyway.
"Thanks," I muttered awkwardly. Now would be a good time to busy myself cupping Leah's breasts and palming her nipples, making them harder for me.
"Josiah," Leah said, soft but insistent again. "Look at me."
"I am looking at you." I rolled her nipples between my thumbs and forefingers.
"Look at my face." She tilted her head, so she could look me in the eyes.
I managed to drag my eyes from her breasts, to meet her gaze. "You don't need to—"
"I think I do," she said. "You deserve to be loved as much as the rest of us. Maybe more than some of us." She slid a teasing look toward Brooks.
"Fuck off," he said with a laugh. "I know you love me."
She leaned over and kissed his mouth before turning back to me. "If this is too much, too soon, we understand. It's a big deal to go from being alone, to being part of a group. No one would blame you if you need to step away."
"You're right," I said, my voice low, as if that might keep me from being judged. "It's a lot. I want to be here." Wherever she was, I wanted to be there too. "If you want me to be."
"We want you here," she said firmly. "I want all of you here."
"Even me?" Brooks ran the tip of his finger down the side of her face, over her collarbone and down to her chest, stopping just short of my hand.
"Even you," she whispered, her eyes darkening.
"I think she's overdressed, don't you agree, Josiah?" Brooks asked.
"I definitely agree," I said. "I think we should fix that immediately.
" Reluctantly, I moved my hands from her breasts, down to her waist, lifting her carefully so Brooks could ease her leggings and panties down over her ass.
She had to straighten her legs so he could pull them off her feet and toss them aside.
"Much better." Brooks pulled her feet into his lap and started to run his hands up the inside of her legs.
I let my gaze slide up and down her body, taking in every curve, every freckle. Wanting to commit every centimetre of her to memory. She was so beautiful, she made my cock harder than hell. Pressing into the side of her ass.
"Perfect," I whispered, so soft I could barely hear it myself.
"I bet she's nice and wet already." Brooks teased her thighs apart.
"Show us." Connor and Riley finished placing bowls in the dishwasher and had come to join us. Connor crouched in front of me and Brooks. "Show us how wet she is."
Brooks carefully bent her knees, opening her legs out to them.
Connor's tongue slid across his lower lip. "So wet."
"Very wet." Brooks' fingers were on her pussy, pressing into her. It drew a moan from her plush lips.
Making me even harder.
"If one of you doesn't—" she started.
"We'll tell you when one of us will fuck you," Connor said.
"Who died and made you boss?" Brooks circled her clit with his thumb.
"I made myself boss," Connor said. He pulled out his phone and started filming the way he was touching her.
"Josiah and I are both older than you," Brooks pointed out.
Without moving his phone too much, Connor shrugged a shoulder. "I don't give a shit. Make her come."
If Brooks looked irritated at being given an order, it didn't stop him from carrying it out. Rubbing and stroking her, coaxing her toward orgasm while I lavished attention on her breasts, keeping her nipples hard with my fingers.
Her back arched into me as she came, crying out her release with her cheek pressed against mine. I held her like that until she came down, then I managed to work my own pants and boxers down, letting the cooler air caress my heated erection.
The relief was momentary, because she twisted around until she straddled my lap, her hot thighs and pussy enveloping me.
"Who said you could fuck him?" Connor snapped.
"I fucking did," I growled. I wound her hair around my fist and lowered her on to my cock, sliding all the way inside her, my piercings touching her all the way through.
Her eyes widened. "Oh my god," she whispered. "I can feel… Everything. This is… Wow."
"That's the word for it all right." Riley had his pants down, hand wrapped around his length.
Connor turned the phone on him, filming him sliding his fingers up and down his erection.
"Not that I don't appreciate being filmed, but I'd prefer it if you helped me out here." Riley's words were forced out between clenched teeth.
"Let me." Brooks held his hand out for Connor's phone.
I thought Connor might refuse, but he handed it over and knelt down in front of Riley. When Riley's hand dropped away from his cock, Connor replaced it with his own. He stroked him from his balls to his tip before licking him and taking him into his mouth.
"That's so damn hot," Leah whispered.
"You're hot," I said. My hands on her hips, I helped her to rise and fall, slowly riding my cock like she was born to do it. "Your pussy is perfection."
"Your cock is perfection," she said.
"You were made to take it." And I was made to come inside her, which I was going to do faster than I would have liked.
I wanted to draw this first time with her out as long as I could, but I'd wanted this moment for too long.
I couldn't hold out. I let myself go, grinding up into her as bliss washed over me.
At the same time, she came again, pussy tightening around me, milking me for every drop of pleasure and release. Her head tipped back and she cried out, her voice and mine a harmony.
"Just like that," Brooks said, the phone aimed at her face. At some point, he'd also pushed his pants down and his hand was tight around his base.
Leah kissed me before swinging her leg off me and kneeling beside Brooks. "Do you want to touch each other?" she asked.
Did we? I eyed Brooks' cock, then his face.
He swallowed hard. Turned off the phone and lowered it. "I'd like to," he said tentatively.
Like he was some kind of wild animal, I leaned over slowly and slid the side of my hand up and down his hot length. "I've never touched another guy's dick before." He was a little longer than me, if not quite as thick. Perfect in his own way.
"I like it." Brooks licked his lips.
I wrapped my hand around him firmer and slid it up and down, watching his eyes roll back in his head.
"You're good at that," he told me.
I barked a laugh. "I've had plenty of practice with myself." The only time I'd ever been with anyone else, was in the city, where no questions were asked or given. Just a quick fuck with a random woman for release. It never meant anything, not until now.
Brooks chuckled and rolled his hips, pushing himself deeper between my fingers. Before he could come, I pulled back my hand.
"I don't think you want to come like that." I wasn't ready for anything more, so I helped Leah onto his lap, so she could lower herself onto him the way she had with me.
"This totally works," Brooks said, his voice breaking on the last word.
In the corner of my eye, I watched Riley come, his cock deep in Connor's mouth. Hips jerking, lips parted in orgasm. Connor slid his lips off him, slathering lube onto his rear hole and sliding his cock into Riley's ass, while Riley was draped over the back of an armchair.
"You want to do this someday?" Connor asked between thrusts and glances toward me and Brooks. "He feels so fucking good."
"Someday," was all I could say right now. Watching all that fucking robbed my brain of coherent thought.
Brooks moaned his agreement, and then he was coming inside Leah, his grunts and groans in unison with Connor as he found his release inside Riley.
My eyes were all on Leah as she came for a third time, her breasts bouncing, breaths ragged, cheeks red. In that moment, she was never more beautiful.
Then and there, I fell in love with her.
