Troy

S he’s upset. I think it’s because I don’t want to talk about Amber.

Fuck. I never want to talk about Amber. She’s the worst thing that ever happened to me.

She’s worse than my mom dying and my dad turning to drugs, worse than getting shot on my eighteenth birthday when I was protecting Edmund.

At least those other things couldn’t be helped, I had very little influence over them, and they made me stronger.

Amber robbed me of years of my life. And I let it happen. I was grateful the entire fucking time.

Until I wasn’t.

But even now, with the Amber chapter of my life officially over, she’s still screwing things up for me.

Dani’s upset, quietly watching the lighthearted mystery film Edmund chose.

After Dani’s morning at the police station, I doubted the choice in movie.

But I don’t think it matters what he picked—none of us are watching it anyway.

“Come here.” I tug Dani over until she’s leaning against me. “I missed you, little girl.”

She sighs and snuggles closer. “I missed you, too. And I have a whole big speech about how I was wrong, how I shouldn’t have behaved like I did.”

“I don’t need to hear it. Really. I forgive you, Dani. And I should’ve answered your texts and calls. You tried to make it better, but I didn’t let you.”

“So we’re good now?” She tilts her head back so she can see me better.

“We’re good.” I pause. “Except for one thing.”

Edmund looks over from the TV, his expression guarded.

Dani’s face holds panic. “What is it? I promise, whatever it is, you can tell me. You don’t have to hide?—”

“Dani, calm down.” I grin at her. “The only thing that’s wrong right now is you aren’t close enough to me.”

She laughs and points to the nonexistent space between us. “I’m as close as I can possibly be.”

“Not yet...here we go.” I haul her into my lap.

“Oh, you’re right. This is much better.” She wiggles her toes in Edmund’s direction. “You should get on Troy’s lap, Edmund—it’s quite comfortable.”

“Ha.” He leans back against the other side of the couch. “If I’m on his lap with you, I won’t be able to watch you fuck him.”

Her soft, surprised gasp makes me hard.

She turns around so she’s straddling me. The movie is completely forgotten. Edmund grabs the remote and shuts it off. The room is lit only by a small side lamp. Everything is soft—the lights, Dani’s clothes, her skin, her hair.

“I missed you, Troy.”

I grab her ponytail and tilt her head back with it. “I missed you, too.”

“Did you...” She hesitates.

“What is it, baby?”

“Did you fuck her?”

I shove aside the anger that threatens me at the very idea. “No. Absolutely not.”

“Okay. Sorry for asking, it’s just, I saw you kiss her, and...”

“You can ask me anything.” I hesitate. Except I don’t want to talk about what Amber did to me.

She purses her lips. “It’s all right. I can wait until you’re ready to share. I recently had to figure that out for myself—with Leah, you know.”

My heart clenches. I’m not ready to talk now, but I will be someday. “You’re too good for me.”

“I’m gonna try to be better.” She tilts her head and waits for my kiss.

I cup her ass and rock against her as I fit my mouth over hers.

So sweet. She tastes like the horchata-flavored ice cream Edmund picked up along with our Mexican take-out.

I tear my mouth away long enough to say, “I’m going to fuck you on this couch, and Edmund’s going to watch.”

She whimpers against my kiss.

“Baby girl.” I moan into her mouth before leaving her lips to kiss along her jaw, down to her soft neck. Fuck, she smells so good.

At the other end of the couch, Edmund adjusts his dick and tilts his head back to watch. I wonder how many times he fucked her when I was away, when I was stuck pretending to get along with Amber. Even though I’m jealous, I’m glad Dani had Edmund, that she wasn’t alone while I took care of my past.

I wonder if Dani knows she’s my future. Whether she’s married to Edmund or not, she’ll be mine, too.

“Take off these clothes, beautiful.” I lift the bottom of her t-shirt.

Soon, the garment is gone, and she raises her hips so she can shrug out of her jeans and panties. I work at her bra strap, my fingers clumsy. I’m so eager, I’m like a teenager again, desperate to touch her. I growl with impatience and tear the flimsy lace.

“Hey, I liked that bra?—”

Her protest breaks off as I cup her tits in my hands, squeezing her nipples between my fingers. Her skin is unbelievably soft against my rough palms.

“Troy,” she sighs.

“That’s right. We’ll buy you a new bra, little one. Just relax into how you feel.”

She moves her hips back and forth, rubbing her pussy over my jean-clad dick. Her breath comes faster and her eyes lose focus.

“Think you can come like this, Dani?” I keep playing with her tits. “All naked on top of me, just rubbing back and forth while Edmund watches your little show?”

“Y-yeah.” Her breath stutters. She squeezes her eyes shut in concentration.

“Keep watching me.” I give her nipples a rough pinch.

She squeaks, her eyes shoot open, and she rocks harder against me.

I could let her keep going, but it’s been too long since I was inside my girl. I shoot a glance over to Edmund, who reads my mind. He snags a condom from the side table and tosses it in my direction.

“Hold still for a second,” I tell Dani. “Let me make you safe.”

She whimpers in protest, but I set her farther back on my knees. Her pussy glistens and I can’t resist reaching for her. She’s slick and wet on my fingertips. So fucking tempting. I put my fingers in my mouth, tasting her.

Sweet. Tart.

“Put a finger in your cunt for me, Dani. Then let Edmund have a taste.”

While she’s distracted by that instruction, I unbutton my pants and pull out my cock. I put on the rubber and squeeze my balls. “All right, baby girl. Time to sit on my cock.”

She looks down at my length, jutting up between us, and licks her lips.

Fuck, she’s sexy.

Her eyelashes flutter when Edmund takes her finger in his mouth.

He flicks his tongue against her fingertip before releasing her hand. “Get up on that dick now, angel. Show Troy how good you can be for us.”

She blushes and scoots forward on my lap so the head of my cock brushes against her entrance. Even that little bit of contact feels like heaven.

As she lowers down, I grip my base and fit myself at her opening. Her lips part with a gasp as she lowers.

“There you go, little angel.” Edmund grabs her hip as if to help her. “A little bit more. He’s so big, it’s a tight fit, isn’t it?”

She nods. “So tight.”

I resist the urge to lift my hips and impale her. This slow tease is better than instant gratification. Besides, I don’t want to hurt her. I spread my palms over her tits again, reveling in their softness and those hardened little nipples. Dani moans and lowers another inch.

“Is he too big for you?” Edmund makes a mocking sound of concern. “Poor baby. I bet if I played with your clit, you’d find more room for him.”

She gives him an annoyed look, but as soon as his fingers brush her clit, she lets out a loud moan. At the same time, she slides down a bit more.

“There you go.” I lean forward and kiss her neck. “I knew you could do it.”

I don’t think there’s much more she can take, so I lean back, holding onto her breasts and playing with them. This way she can slide back and forth over my cock.

“I’m going to need that mouth.” Edmund gets up on his knees on the couch and unfastens his pants. He takes out his length and jerks his fist up and down before reaching for Dani’s hair. The blond strands are curled about his other fist and he yanks her head back.

Her gray gaze is fierce as she slides her tight heat up and down my length.

“Angel.” Edmund pulls her head back again, using her hair as leverage. “Open wide for me. First, tell me how you hate us.”

“I hate you.” She follows that statement with a gasp—she just found a new angle to fuck me. It must be a good one, because she rolls her hips the same way again. She clenches around me, the squeeze impossibly tight.

“Fuck, that feels good.” I pluck her nipples, tweaking the little peaks. “Suck down Edmund so he isn’t left out. Even if you hate us. Maybe because you hate us.”

When Edmund aims his cock at her face, she obediently parts her lips to take him in. The erotic sight has me meeting Dani’s rocking with my own thrusts.

Edmund groans, sliding his cock in and out of her mouth.

Her saliva clings to his length each time he pulls out.

It’s mesmerizing. I want to hold her throat, but I remember that’s off-limits.

Instead, I nuzzle against her neck and shoulder, lapping at her sweet skin, at the sweat that clings to her.

Her moans are muffled around Edmund’s dick, but she’s getting louder and more worked up. Her cunt clenches around me in an increasing rhythm. Our girl’s getting close to an orgasm. Edmund reaches down to play with her clit some more.

“Come for us, little girl.” I thrust again and again, meeting her movements. “Come on my cock.”

She screams around Edmund and her head falls back.

Her eyes are closed in ecstasy as she shudders and shakes with her release.

I can’t hold back anymore. The next time my dick spears upward, I let go—coming and coming into her, wishing the condom was gone so my seed could find her womb. ..so I could breed her.

Breed her? Well, that’s a new kink unlocked.

Edmund cups the side of her face—normally I think he’d be holding her neck. “Gonna come all over your tongue and your throat, angel. Get ready to swallow me down.”

Her gray eyes are soft and she makes a little noise of approval. Meek as a kitten now that she’s drunk on our cocks.

“Fuck, fuck—” Edmund grunts and holds her head close to him, his hips jerking while he comes.

Dani makes an “mmm” sound, like his come is the yummiest thing she’s ever tasted.

I tug her close against me and Edmund slides from her mouth. I kiss her hard, licking into her mouth, not caring about the taste of him there, just wanting her tongue, her lips, her everything.

I want her love.

She can say she hates us all she wants. But in this moment we all took part in? There wasn’t a hint of hatred.
