29. The Rack
The Rack
Jack
I lift Harper against me and take her into the bathroom. She wraps her arms around my neck and plays with the back of my hair.
“Have you guys done that before?” Harper’s gaze goes to my bed, which is probably a mess.
“No, sweetheart.” I lower her to her feet and guide her into the shower with Eli.
Eli smirks as she leans into him. “The whole I’ll fuck whoever wins? No, and I wasn’t sure what I was going to do if you lost.”
I laugh. “I love you, man, but I don’t want you to fuck me.”
“Fair.” Eli nods. “Same.”
“And the dildo?” Her dark eyes blink up at me. She’s almost as tired as I am.
“Never.” I chuckle and cup Harper’s jaw. “Most girls don’t want to actually play that way. Eli and I played together two times. The first time we tag teamed two girls. The other time we had a threesome. That time there was an Eiffel Tower involved and some domination.”
She yawns and rubs her face against Eli’s chest.
“I wouldn’t have felt comfortable letting anyone else do that,” I admit. “You’re different. I trust you. I love you.”
“What are we keeping secret then, from the others?” Harper drags in a breath as I run soap down her back.
“I’m not gay or bi.” Eli brushes her wet hair away from her face. “I’m dominant, which is why I like having you both submit to me. But I have no desire to fuck Jack’s ass or have him blow me, but I love commanding you to do things to him. If that makes sense.”
“But you used the dildo on him?” Harper lifts her head and looks into Eli’s eyes.
He glances at me and smirks. “Never did that before either. It’s no different than the others holding you down while I fuck you. And it’s a way to dominate Jack.”
Being fucked while fucking Harper was hot. That was a new one for me. And leaving the dildo in while he fucked her with my cock buried in her ass. Fuck, I’m game to try that again. Maybe I’ll wear a plug instead.
“Were you okay with it?” Harper turns to face me.
I run the sponge over her breasts. Fuck, she has amazing breasts. “It’s definitely not something I’ve tried before. But it felt amazing.”
She nods and yawns again. Her cheeks flush pink. “I liked fucking your ass, Jack.”
I chuckle. “Maybe I’ll let you play more.”
“I’d like that.” Harper tips her head back to look at Eli. “Do you think you’d want to play like this again?”
“When we get a chance, kitten.” Eli strokes his hands over her hips. “I’d stay later, but you two need your sleep. Tomorrow night is the bonfire.”
“Is what we did really a secret we need to keep?” Harper sounds a little disappointed. “It’s not like the guys don’t know that Jack is bi and that you like to order us around.”
I meet Eli’s eyes, and he shrugs. I tip her chin up.
“If you want to tell the others what we did, neither of us really minds. They accept me for who I am, and they accept Eli for who he is. They won’t think any differently of us for playing like this.
It doesn’t really change the group’s dynamics at all.
We just figured you wouldn’t be comfortable telling them about it. ”
Harper nods. “I don’t want to keep secrets.”
“We’re not asking you to, kitten.” Eli shuts off the water when we’re all rinsed off. “Some of it was to play with your mind a little before we fucked, but this isn’t something that will hurt anyone else. If you want to tell them, we won’t stop you or be angry at you.”
“Good.” She nods.
I wrap a towel around her. “Was there anything you didn’t like, sweetheart?”
She smiles. “I liked it all. Was it okay for you?”
“More than okay.” I smirk. “Anytime you want to do that, I’m game.”
Her smile falls. Her hand cups my cheek. “Are you going to sleep with me tonight?”
“Of course, sweetheart.” There’s only one bed.
She lets out a frustrated huff of air.
“She means sleep, Jack.” Eli has on his boxers and leans against the sink, watching the two of us. “Not sit next to her and work on your computer or phone all night.”
Guilt tightens my stomach. All the things I need to do weigh on me, crushing me. What if everything I need to protect Harper is on my drive, and I just haven’t discovered it yet? When I open my mouth, Eli shakes his head.
“You need sleep, fucker.” Eli walks into my bedroom and starts dressing. “Not an hour or two, but a whole night. Tomorrow is the bonfire. If Zach has something planned, we need you on high alert. Not halfway there.”
“Everything else can wait, Jack.” Harper rests her hand against my heart. “I need you fully charged.”
With a wink, I smirk. “I’m always charged for you.”
She shakes her head, but smiles softly. “I need you, Jack. All of you.”
“Nico said they called you a walking zombie.” Eli finishes tying his shoe and straightens.
“They think you’re one of our weaknesses.
So let’s not play into their hands. Look like a zombie at school.
Carry energy drinks, but don’t drink them.
Let them believe what they see, and maybe they’ll underestimate you. ”
I nod. What he’s saying makes sense, but... “There’s so much still to be done.”
“Then we get more help.” Harper turns to look at Eli and presses back against me. I wrap my hands around her waist. “We talk to my mom about our ‘friend’ and see if she thinks we can trust them with more.”
Eli’s eyes narrow and he closes in on Harper. “We know our friend is there for you, but we can’t be certain they’ll be there for all of us. We can give them some information to work on, but we need to decide as a group what they can and can’t know about.”
I think of all the information I have to get through. The encrypted files from William Foster’s computers, the data from Harper’s father’s computer, and the images from the tree camera. We still have a few more videos from Zach’s stash house to get through. Fuck.
When I meet Eli’s eyes, he gives me a knowing look.
“Okay, we’ll get more help.” I blow out a breath. “Kenz volunteered to help go through things.”
“We could also ask Penny and...” Harper makes a face as she tries to think of anyone else.
“Not her friends though.” Eli touches Harper’s jaw.
“I’m certain at least one of them is in William’s pocket.
All her friends seem to be on her side, so maybe it’s something that’s been going on for a while and they really are her friends now.
But we can’t trust anyone that William has a hold over. ”
“So should we not trust Penny?” Harper asks.
Eli takes in a breath. “I think she’s proven who she’s loyal to, but it might have been an act. Maybe give her something she can’t take to William Foster.”
I nod. “See you tomorrow?”
Eli grins. “Want our girl to yourself?”
“If we’re going to sleep, we might need to change the sheets first.” I glance at the bed.
Eli chuckles. He leans down and kisses Harper. “See you tomorrow, kitten.”
“Good night.” Harper leans back against me, letting me take all her weight.
I wrap my arms around her towel-covered body.
Eli claps me on the shoulder. “Sleep. We need all of you.”
I nod, and he heads out the door. I lead Harper over to the bed and sit her on the edge while I go lock my door. We’re both only in the towels, and I want to sleep naked with her tonight.
We won’t every night, but tonight, it will help me unwind.
I turn off the overhead light and nod at her. “Stand up.”
Harper stands and I draw off the top blanket, tossing it into a corner. Thankfully, I have layers. I’ll put the blanket in the wash in the morning.
“Fresh bed.” I smirk and gesture to the sheets and blanket under the top one.
She shakes her head but draws back the blanket and sheet. “Is it weird that our parents are okay with me being in here?”
She raises her gaze to me but hesitates to get into the bed.
“Maybe a little.” I shrug. “I don’t generally question when things go my way.”
Dropping my towel, I climb onto the bed and hold out my hand to her. She releases her towel and joins me under the covers. Her head rests on my chest and she clings to my side. I turn off the bedside lamp, casting us in darkness.
My cock hardens, but I’m good to just let this one go away. I stroke my hand down her back. “You can tell me if you didn’t like something tonight. It won’t hurt my feelings.”
She blows out a breath. “Eli saying he would fuck the winner got in my head a little.”
“How so?”
She props her chin on her hand and gazes up at me in the soft moonlight coming in through the curtain. “I don’t know. It made me wonder if you lied before about not being with him. Would it be considered cheating if he fucked you? I mean, we’re all together and you guys are all close—”
“Harper,” I say, to stop her rambling. “You are the only one I want to fuck. We all love each other as brothers, but we’re not going to fuck each other behind your back.
Or in front of you. It’s not what draws us together.
You do. And while playing like that tonight was fun and hot as hell, if you’re uncomfortable with it, we don’t have to do it again. ”
She straddles me and puts her hands on my chest. “I loved tonight. I loved watching you take something inside you and knowing that’s what you guys see when you fuck me. I loved giving you pleasure. Though I don’t think any of the others would want that. Maybe Eli if he was in an experimental mood.”
Her pussy rubs against my cock.
“Maybe we’ll get you a strap-on and see who’s brave enough to let you fuck them.” I smile, knowing that if it’s presented as a challenge there’s no way they’d back down. Not even Luke.
She giggles softly. “Maybe we just start with a finger or two?”
“Fuck, even a straight guy has to enjoy that.” I lift her hips a little and notch my cock at her wet entrance. “Does the idea of blowing Luke and fucking his ass get you there, sweetheart?”
She sinks down on me with a groan. “I loved feeling your tightness around my fingers.” She lifts and lowers herself again. “And when you came, fuck. I love when you guys come inside me and feeling your cum rush up your cocks, but the way you clenched around my fingers...”
“Felt good?” I rise to meet her as she falls on me.
“So good.”
I draw her mouth down to mine as she rides me, and I thrust up into her.
This is enough.
Right here.
Fucking the woman I love. It’s more than enough. Am I excited to explore some kinks with her and the others? Hell, yes. But even if I could only bury my cock in this pretty cunt day after day, I’d be the luckiest guy alive.
She moans into my mouth as her pussy milks my cock with her orgasm. I don’t resist the urge to release, filling her with my cum. When she collapses on me, we both breathe heavy as we come down. Our bodies pressed as close as we can get.
I run my hands over her back and hips.
“You don’t have to ask me again, Harper.” I kiss the top of her head. “You’ll always be enough for me. I love you and how adventurous you are for sex, but this is enough. You’re enough.”
She kisses my chest and lifts her head. “I love you, Jack.”
And that’s all I need.
