Chapter

Twenty-Six

FRANKIE

R iver leaned against the door to the office, looking ready to murder the world.

I couldn’t blame him. He had full right to be pissed.

Which meant this conversation needed to go well, or Smiley’s would be going tits up.

“Let me start by apologizing again.” Ari sighed and leaned her hip on the side of the desk and dipped her head. “I shouldn’t have brought up your past. That was fucked up of me.”

“Sure was,” River agreed.

“But I think you should know why I was so adamant we stick with Scotty in the first place.”

She glanced at Lotto and Bones and gestured at them to start the story.

Bones went first. Then Lotto. Soon the whole story was out: starting with Bones’ original deal with Nero, to his dad’s diagnosis, to his buy-in to the gym, and Scotty’s threat.

The entire time, River stayed silent. I kept my eyes on his expression. For such a happy-go-lucky guy, his face was unusually masked. Only a few times did the mask slip, his eyes narrow, or his lips pull into a frown.

Ari finished with a last apology, and the room went quiet. River tapped two fingers against his lips as he thought.

“So, you’re saying our choices are either work for Scotty with his PEDs shit, or Bones’ dad dies? What if it’s a fluke?”

“Then we’d need time to figure it out,” I said.

“So, we need to buy time.”

“And put up a front.” Ari’s smile was apologetic. “Like I mentioned earlier, we could fake it while we figure it out.”

“And gather evidence, I fucking hope.” River pushed from the door and sighed. “I’m not going down with that douchebag.”

“Neither are we,” Bones agreed. “I’m not doing shit for that fucker. He can rot for all I care. But I’ll do what it takes to keep my dad safe until we figure out if the threat is bullshit or not.”

“You that good of an actor, Bones?”

“What do you think?”

River smirked but didn’t say anything.

“I’m really sorry, River, but I don’t see any other option. At least not for now,” Ari said.

“And if he’s got eyes on a sick man in Mexico, he’s probably got eyes on all of us,” Lotto added. “Including your sister.”

“I’ll fuck him up if he does,” River growled. “My sister doesn’t need to know about this.”

“She won’t,” I promised. “Trust us.”

“Frankie asking me for trust? Damn, I must have stepped into the Twilight Zone.”

I flipped him off, and he laughed. The husky sound tugged a smile from me, too. A weight still pressed down on my chest. It probably would until the end of the Circuit, but at least we still had River on our side.

“Leave it to me, okay? Just keep winning, and I’ll deal with Scotty,” Ari said.

Bones shook his head. “Not alone you won’t.”

“Family sticks together.” Lotto looked at River and nodded. “All of us.”

River glanced around the room, landing on Lotto, Bones, Ari, and finally me. His nod was slow but reassuring.

“All of us.” He clapped his hands together. “Well, if that’s all, I want to go beat some bags and pretend they’re Scotty Green’s face.”

Ari looked at me with questions in her eyes. She was asking permission. Not from Lotto or Bones, but from me. All the other bullshit thrown at us, people we added into our relationship—that didn’t matter. We were ride or die, and I knew she wouldn’t do this without me.

I turned to River. “Hang on. We’ve got one last thing to talk about.”

River raised a brow. “What?”

Ari smiled. “Would you like to join us?”

“Join you? I’m already contracted here.”

“That’s not what I mean.”

“Then what?”

“I’ll cut to the chase,” Lotto said. “You’ve already fucked all of us.”

River didn’t falter or blanch. A smirk rose to his face as he looked around. “None of you were complaining.”

“That’s why Ari is asking.” I crossed my arms. “Are you going to join us or not?”

“Wait, hold on.” River held up a hand. “Join you for what? You’re in a relationship? All four of you?”

Bones stood from his chair and turned to face River with his hands on his hips. “What the hell did you think we were?”

“I don’t know, swingers? I thought you were open to sharing or something. Some OnlyFans wannabes looking for some fun.”

“So that's why you took a shot?” Lotto questioned.

River nodded. “What can I say? You’re all sexy as hell. I’m certainly not complaining about sharing.”

“We don’t share,” I ground out. My eyes narrowed at him. “Not with others. The four of us here are exclusive to each other, and that’s it.”

“Five of us, if you want to join, too.” Ari’s smile turned nervous. “You’re already part of our family, River. We want you to be part of our relationship, too.”

“None of you are angry?” We shook our heads, and River whistled. “Even though I fucked all of you separately?”

“For this to work, we had to set jealousy aside. Some better than others.” Ari’s eyelids fluttered when she glanced at me.

I scoffed. “Knock it off. My jealousy is normal.”

“No, it’s definitely not.”

I tried to frown, but her laugh made me grin.

“But we don’t have to keep it separate.” Lotto set his hand on the back of Bones’ empty chair. “We can share you together. All of us.”

“Like at Heathens Hollow?” River’s voice dropped, and the smirk on his face grew. The hooded look he shot me flushed heat throughout my body.

“Just like Heathens Hollow.” Ari must have felt the tension in the room because her voice raised slightly. “If you want.”

“Maybe we could have a little preview of what the relationship will be like.” River tilted his head in challenge.

We didn’t move. The room took a collective breath. No one wanted to be the person to break the ice.

Bones took a step forward and saved us. “Sure. Let’s show them how good you look sucking my dick.”

Bones grabbed River’s shirt and tugged him into a kiss. River moaned into Bone’s mouth and grabbed the back of his neck, pulling him closer. Their tongues pushed against each other with each stroke, and their messy fight for dominance had my blood singing.

A soft hand on my arm brought goosebumps to my skin.

Ari smiled at me and squeezed. “Should we join them?”

My answer was a bruising kiss I placed on her lips.

She responded so eagerly. She always did, that little minx. I wrapped my hand around her ponytail and pulled her flush against me. Her heat melted into mine; her moan mixed with my grunt when I parted her lips. Ari tugged up my shirt and dragged her nails along my abs, my cock throbbing when she tugged at my belt.

A hand circled around mine. With a harsh tug, Ari was ripped from my lips. Her eyes fluttered as she stared up at Lotto. His eyes flashed with a darkness that made me shudder.

“The more, the merrier,” he joked.

His kiss was just as heated as mine. His tongue swirled around hers, and her moan filled the heated air between us. I moved my hands down his side and pushed into the back of his pants. With deft fingers, I parted his cheeks and pressed my fingers against his asshole. He rocked around me, his lips curving into a smirk as he ravaged Ari’s mouth.

“Fuck.” River grunted.

I looked over Lotto’s shoulder and my breath caught. River arched against the door, his shirt already off and revealing his washboard abs. His lips were swollen and hair falling out of its ponytail. Bones bobbed on his cock, nails digging into River’s hips.

But River wasn’t looking at Bones.

He was watching me.

And the hooded look he gave me sent my body into overdrive.

I guess it wouldn’t be so bad with him between us. Or under us or begging for us. Any way I could get a taste and feel for that cock again.

Ari undid my belt but left it hanging on my hips. When she and Lotto parted, they were both panting.

“We can’t leave our boys hanging.” Her smile was coy and a total lie. “Why don’t we go help them out?”

I grunted my answer and pulled my hand out of Lotto’s pants. But before we could take a step, Lotto clicked his tongue.

“With a little less clothing.” He twirled his finger in a circle in front of Ari. “Why don’t you give him a show, angel? Show River what he’s missing.”

“Sure.”

She blew us a kiss and wandered toward the desk. Lotto and I went over to River and Bones. I ran my hands over River’s chest and tugged at his nipples, while Lotto grabbed River’s chin and brought him in for a kiss, but both of their eyes were open and on Ari.

She tugged her shirt over her head then wrapped it around her shoulders and shimmied so that her tits bounced in her black bra. Ari threw it off to the side and played with the straps of her bra, dipping the cups. We got a little flash of her nipples before she giggled and righted them.

The damn tease.

Bones popped off River’s dick and turned to watch. Lotto wrapped his hand around it instead and slowly jerked River’s wet length. I helped Bones to his feet then pulled him back against me. I wrapped my arms around his waist and tugged down his pants and boxers. His length stiffened against my hands, his thick chest rippling with a moan.

Ari’s eyes darkened as she watched us touch each other. There was a little smile on her face. Satisfied. Possessive. She took in our hands, our cocks, our parted mouths. She was drinking us in. Drinking her guys in.

She unclasped her bra, threw it to the side, and cupped her tits, tugging her nipples until they hardened. Her little moan clenched my stomach. I ground my hard cock into Bones’ ass and moaned when he swiveled back his hips. Ari moved her hands lower and lower, over her tattoos and toned stomach to the waistband of her pants.

“Shit,” River whispered, his voice ragged, and hips practically fucking into Lotto’s hand. “I’m liking this little show.”

“Me, too.” She smiled and turned.

With another little shimmy, her pants were around her knees.

Fuck, I’d never get over her ass. Supple but tight, perfect to teach a lesson. And that pussy of hers, already slightly wet and waiting for us. Ari leaned forward to take her pants off fully and gave us a perfect view of her cunt.

Ari ran her hands along the back of her thighs to her own beat, trailing further and further up until she parted her folds. Fuck, she looked so good bent over like that. I kept jerking into Bones’ ass, my cock throbbing for more. Bones groaned and fucked himself into my hand. His cock throbbed with each of his desperate humps.

“As much as I loved the tease,” Lotto said. “Come join the fun now, angel.”

“But I’m having fun,” she challenged, throwing him a look over her shoulder. “And so are all of you.”

“Not without our favorite,” I said.

When her eyes connected with mine, I saw nothing but love and lust within their depths.

Ari sauntered over and swatted away my hand. She wrapped hers around Bones’ cock and jerked. Then she leaned over and beckoned River over with a sexy little grin.

He pushed off the wall to pull her into a heated kiss. Their moans echoed off the walls when their tongues touched. I kicked off my pants and let my aching cock spring free. After all that teasing, I needed some kind of release, or I was going to explode.

Bones bucked into Ari’s tight grip and leaned his head back against my shoulder. I smirked and grabbed the back of his neck, forcing him down so he was half-bent over for me. I dragged my cock along the crevice of his ass a few times, grunting when his thick cheeks swallowed me.

Ari pulled away from River and caught her breath. Then she turned to Lotto and winked. “Why don’t you follow their lead?”

Lotto smirked. “I like the way you think, angel.”

He pulled River away from the wall and slipped behind him. His pants were off in an instant, his hard cock pressed against River’s back. He angled him forward to mimic Bones, and my cock throbbed. I didn’t know who I was more envious of, Lotto or River.

Or Ari, who got down on her knees and wrapped her other hand around River’s cock.

She batted her eyelashes at me as she stroked their lengths. Challenging me. Convincing me. Not that I needed much convincing. I was more than happy to give her everything she wanted.

I spread Bones’ ass and spat on his hole. He grunted when I forced the pad of my thumb inside. I moved it in and out, watching Lotto’s cock slide along River’s ass.

River let out a long groan when Lotto thrust into him. He jerked into Ari’s hand, placing his hands on his knees to keep himself upright. Bones ground back against me, and I smacked his ass so hard, the slap echoed.

“Is that what you want?” I asked. “You want to be fucked like River?”

“Yes,” Bones choked. He humped my thumb, his fingers digging into his knees. “Fuck me.”

“You heard him.” River’s laugh was cut off with a grunt when Ari swirled her tongue around the tip of his cock. “Fuck, Ari, warn a guy, would you?”

“Sure. I’m going to suck your cock.” She smiled and took him into her mouth.

River tossed his head back and groaned. He reached one hand back to grab Lotto’s hips, forcing him faster. Lotto bit his lip and picked up his pace. The sound of their slapping skin filled the room.

I spat on Bones’ ass one more time and pushed into his ass. He squeezed me so hard I lost my breath. I gripped his hips and leaned back against the wall, pulling him back on my cock.

Pleasure tingled up my spine. The room filled with our heavy breaths and moans. I watched my cock disappear into his ass, then glanced over to watch Lotto’s cock do the same with River. Ari rolled her tongue around the head of River’s dick while jerking Bones. Then she popped off and switched, and Bones tightened even more around me.

Fuck, I wasn’t going to last long at all. Sweat dripped down my temples; my balls slapped against Bone with my hard thrusts. I dragged my fingers along the tattoos on his back until they turned pink.

When I looked over, Lotto had his eyes on me, his pupils blown with lust. I leaned over and pulled him into a haggard kiss of tongue and teeth.

My senses were in overload. My nerves were tight like a string. Bones looked over his shoulder and smirked, tightening his ass. That fucker. It was all I needed to snap.

I plowed into Bones and filled his ass to the brim. Lotto swallowed my moans with his lips, ravaging my mouth. Even after Bones milked me, I kept fucking him. I slapped his ass over and over, fingers digging into Lotto’s neck to keep his mouth on mine.

“Fuck.” Bones grunted and came next.

Ari opened her mouth and lolled out her tongue so that Bones’ cum splattered on it and her chest, dripping down her tits. She moaned and dipped her finger into it, dragging it up to get a taste. Bones shivered against me and threw back his head.

Lotto ripped himself from me and gripped River’s hips even tighter. His pace was relentless and brutal.

“Do you want to come, too, River?”

“Fuck yeah, but—” A moan interrupted his sentence.

Ari popped her finger out of her mouth. “But?”

“I want to come in you, Ari.”

Ari’s eyes flashed and she bit her lip to hide her coy smile. “What do you think, Lotto?”

Lotto slowed his pace but didn’t stop the intensity. “You’re calling the shots tonight, angel. We’re just here for the ride.”

“Perfect.” she smiled. “Then lie down and let me give you what you want.”
