Chapter 5
The sun’s rays penetrated the floor to ceiling windows. I woke up to the smell of pear and jasmine from the undertone scents of Ivy’s perfume. Last night when we left the club we came back to my place. I didn’t fuck her. Not that I didn’t want to, I just didn’t trust myself. The attraction between us was too strong and after all these years the only thing that had changed was time and distance. Ivy was the one woman that I had loved. The problem with that is I knew her heart was torn into two. Dos and I never shared anything other than our last name without a fight or argument breaking out. Toys, clothing, shoes, and jewelry were all off limits. As brothers there was always the occasional fight over that nigga wearing my shit or playing with my toys. It was what brothers did, especially younger brothers. But when it came to women, Dos had a hard on for any woman I wanted— Especially Ivy.
It didn’t matter who I dated, my little brother inserted himself into the relationship. Girls thought it was cute; I deemed it annoying. As soon as I was done with them, it seemed like his infatuation with them ended too. Ivy was the exception. We had been fighting for her attention even as kids. It didn’t dawn on us until we were teenagers, and by the time we were in college it was too late; we were both in love with the same girl. And that tug-of -war lasted six long years after we came to blows over her. I also knew Ivy would never choose between us, which is why she left. She was back now after years of being gone and the same brotherly competition that lived in us years ago, resurfaced the moment Dos laid eyes on her.
I just held Ivy in my arms. It seemed like she needed the comforts of home without the complicated issues that lingered between the three of us. It felt natural, like she belonged here all along. She was still sleeping when I got up to use the bathroom. My morning hard on was reaching out toward Ivy. My t-shirt was no match for what he wanted. It hung just over her phat ass and the way I was at attention; it would have poked through the cotton into her warm zone. I was surprised the gentle nudge and throbbing didn’t wake her. When I returned to the bedroom, she was up.
“Are you coming back to bed?”
“I have shit to do.” I lied.
“Just for a few minutes, please,” she begged.
I felt my dick jump in my sweats. I knew my member didn’t mind, but my heart wanted me to stand firm and not give in. She pulled back the covers revealing my crisp white t-shirt that barely covered her pussy lips. I could smell her sweetness. She was wet as if her thighs were hiding a secret she wanted me to uncover. “Naw, Ivy. I got shit I need to take care of,” I stated firmly resisting her seduction.
I left the room before I could change my mind. I grabbed my phone and went to the kitchen. I turned the coffee machine on, and took the eggs, cheese, spinach and tomatoes out the refrigerator. I made my signature omelet and avocado toast. Ivy made her way out of the bedroom and watched me cook as she sat at the kitchen island. I gave her a plate of food and sat beside her with my plate.
“I forgot how good of a cook you are.”
I smiled as I picked at my omelet.
“Umm. This is so good, Uno. Thank you.”
“Yup” I nodded. Ivy just looked at me. I could tell my response was not what she was expecting. We ate in silence before Ivy spoke again.
“How long are you going to punish me?” she asked, as she turned to look at me.
I stopped eating, placing my fork down on my plate. I thought to myself, “Bitch forever” but spoke the words, “So, this what we doing?”
“It’s been ten years, Uno. When are you going to forgive me?”
Bitch neva went through my head but I simply replied, “Who said I was still mad?” as I pushed my plate away from me.
“You don’t seem like you want me here. You’re acting cold towards me. I just assumed…”
“Don’t assume shit with me, Ivy. It’s been ten years since I caught you fucking my brother. I let that shit go the moment you left. Now you’re back. No word from you in all that time and you just expect things to be like they were ten years ago.” I had cut her off in mid-sentence not allowing her to finish her thought.
“You’re punishing me, Uno.”
I sighed, “What do you want from me, Ivy?” We were now facing each other. I could see the sadness in her eyes. I wanted to console her but resisted.
“I want you,” she whispered.
I just shook my head and laughed. I got up from the island bar stool and took my plate over to the garbage can and emptied the rest of my omelet into the trash. I threw my plate and fork into the sink. The shattering of the plate echoed throughout the open space. I just stood there lost in my emotions. Emotions that I had managed to pack away until now. Ten years ago, I was fuckin dumb and na?ve. This bitch must think I’m some weak ass nigga if she can just pop up after a decade and I’mma just want her ass. Even if I did, on principal I should put a beating on her pussy and fuck her over.
“Did you hear me, Uno, I want you.”
“What about Dos?” I said sarcastically.
She paused, “I want him too”
I just shook my head. “Bitch, in what world. Do you know what your actions did to me and him? That’s my brother, Ivy! I almost lost the only person I cared for more than myself behind you. It took us years to piece our relationship back together. Fucking us both is never an option!”
“It is. Why do I have to choose between the two of you? I love you, Uno. I always have ever since we were kids. If it was up to me I would have never loved anyone else but you. But…” she sighed before continuing, “I love Dos too. I don’t know when it happened, but it did. I never meant to hurt you. Or him. What I realize now is running away from this won’t stop me from wanting you. It hasn’t stopped me from needing you. And I can’t stop loving both of you. That’s why I’m back. Because, no matter what I do or where I go, my heart wants to be right here.”
I backed up into the wall listening to her confession. It hurt like hell to hear her finally admit what I knew all along. No matter how much I wanted her, she would never be completely mine. Ivy had made her way over to me. She grabbed me by my beard forcing me to look down at her.
“I want you, Uno, and I know you still want me. We can make this work. No lies this time. No sneaking around, just an open and honest relationship. I can love you this way. Can you love me?”
She was so vulnerable in this moment. It was sexy as fuck. Her fingers combing through my beard eased any tension this uncomfortable conversation built up. I wanted her so goddamn bad. My swollen manhood was fully erect and needed to release. I knew if I gave in to Ivy now I would be surrendering to her demands, demands that included her loving my brother. I never saw myself sharing her with a stranger let alone my brother. But going through life without Ivy wasn’t an option that was working for me. I felt her soft hands grab my member and caress me gently. I watched her hands stroke my shaft until pre cum covered my swollen head.
“Don’t deny us this,” she whispered. Our breathing heaved as she massaged me.
“I love you, Uno.”
And with that I gave in. I picked her voluptuous frame up and placed her onto the island countertop. Pushing my sweatpants down my legs, they fell to the floor, and I stepped out of them causing my hardness to spring up and out pointing directly at the opening between her thighs. Ivy leaned back as I forced my staff into her wetness. She gasped as my girth stretched her walls and my length traveled deep into her warmth. With her legs spread open and securely resting on my forearms I held her waist and pulled her into my long thrusts.
“Uno,” she moaned as our bodies slapped together. Her breast bounced back and forth with each stroke. I could see her nipples spike through the thin cotton material. Damn, she looked good even in a wife beater.
“Shit girl,” I groaned as my throbbing head connected with her inner walls causing her to release all over me.
“Uno, umm.”
With each stroke her labia sucked me in. I looked down and could see her sweet juices all over my chocolate. Her sticky goodness gave my dick a luxurious sheen as it drenched my head, coating my veins and dripped on my balls. The way her body reacted to my meat beating her insides told me this is what she needed as I pulled her harder into me.
“Oh, how I missed you, Uno,” she moaned softly.
“I know baby, It’s been too long.”
Her pussy was covered in gushy stickiness and the warmth of her core had me about to cum. It happened so fast, but I hit a spot inside her and she squirted all over me and I in turn coated her walls with my seed.
