Sadie

“ W here are you going?” Declan asks, voice sleepy, pouting adorably from where he lays in his bed.

I smile, slipping my pants on. “Mom texted me. She’s home today and wants to hang out. We haven’t really talked much about everything that’s been going on. So, I’m going to go home to hang out with her for a bit. Get everything out in the open.”

“Everything?” Preston grumbles, rolling over and pulling Declan into his arms, snuggling his face in Declan’s neck. Declan blushes; I’ll never get tired of seeing how easily we get to him. I love it. “You're gonna tell her you’ve been fucking your brother? I bet she’s gonna love that.”

“Stepbrother,” I correct him, slapping his bare ass hard. He lifts his head and shoots me a glare. I just grin before pinching it.

“Brat,” he mutters.

“You just make it so easy.” I laugh. “And yes, everything. I think she already knows about me and Grayson. Now, it’s just saying the words out loud. At least I don’t think she’s going to disown me,” I half joke as I finish getting dressed.

After the park, we went out to eat before coming back to Declan’s room. We were supposed to cuddle and watch a movie, but that went south fast because the opening credits were just leaving the screen when everyone started removing their clothes.

Not that I was complaining. I got orgasms, filled with cum, and got to watch Declan suck Preston until he was spilling all over his face. Next time, I want to be on my knees next to Declan, worshiping Preston’s cock.

Let's just say, it was a very fun night that led all of us into a pile of naked sticky limbs. That reminds me, I'm going to need to shower and change before hanging out with my mom.

“Your mom seems like a pretty down-to-earth person. She’s been supportive of you dating more than one person, I don’t think this is going to be the straw that breaks the camel's back,” Declan says.

Preston’s face pops up. “Did you just call her mom a camel?”

Declan’s face goes white, his eyes widening in horror. “W-what? No,” he shakes his head. “No. I wouldn’t– I’d never.”

“I’m just fucking with you,” Preston chuckles. “You look so cute when you’re flustered.”

Declan’s eyes flick down to glare at Preston. “Oh, so he has jokes now, huh?” Declan growls.

I bite my lip, not doing a very good job at hiding my grin when I see Declan’s hand go to Preston’s ass. I burst out laughing when Preston shouts, shooting into a seated position.

“Did you just pinch my ass?” Preston grumbles.

“You deserve worse for your bad joke.” Declan gives him a soft kiss on his lips.

“Stoooop,” I whine.

“Stop what?” Preston raises a brow towards me.

“Stop being so cute. It’s too adorable and I’m a swooning mess.” I pout. “Would it be weird if I sat in the chair in the corner of the room and just watched you two?”

A slow, cheeky grin takes over Preston’s face. “Baby, you can watch us any time, any place.”

“Not what I meant.” I roll my eye,s then lean down to kiss him. He doesn’t let me go when I pull back, holding me there so he can slip his tongue into my mouth and kiss me until my head spins.

“Bye,” he murmurs against my lips.

“Bye,” I breathe against his.

Blinking a few times, I move over to Declan next and smile. “Bye, Sweetheart,” he smiles back. My kiss with him is softer, but more sensual.

“Bye,” I murmur, catching his lower lip between my teeth. He moans softly, making me grin. “Be a good boy while I’m gone.”

His cheeks heat, and Preston chuckles. “I wouldn’t count on that, Kitten. Nothing good can come from being alone with me.”

The look Preston gives him has me melting for him. By the time I’m leaving the room, I'm wondering why I’m going in the first place. I want a repeat of last night.

“Mom!” I call out as I enter the house. “I’m home.”

“There you are.” Mom smiles as she steps out of the kitchen. “Did you spend the night with Collin?”

“Ahh.” I laugh awkwardly, rubbing the back of my head. “No. I ah, stayed at Declan’s dorm... with him and Preston.”

She doesn’t say anything, just nods.

“Well. I guess it’s time we talk about boy number four, shall we?” She cocks a brow.

“Yeah, that's not a conversation I thought I’d ever have with you. But hey, there’s a lot of shit going on in my life I didn’t think was going to happen, so this should be the least of my problems.”

Her face falls into one of worry. “Sadie.”

“Nope. Not gonna talk about the depressing stuff I can’t change.” I loop my arm through hers, guiding her towards the study. “Let’s talk about my list of boyfriends.”

“So Grayson is your boyfriend then?” she asks when we take a seat on the couch.

“Is Mark home?” I ask, looking over my shoulder.

“No.” She shakes her head. “He’s at the office. I’m going to meet him after we have our little chat.”

“Okay, then yes.” I shift my body to look at her, tucking my legs under my bum and letting my hands rest on my thighs. “Grayson is my boyfriend.”

“I thought so.” She breathes out.

“Are you upset?” Please say no. Because the last thing I want right now is my mom being mad at me.

“No.” I let out a sigh of relief. “You’re an adult. You have every right to live your life how you want it. All I care about is if you're safe and happy. As long as they treat you good, that's all that matters.”

“Really?” I blink. “That's it? I’m dating four men. One of them is the son of your best friend, one is his brother from his evil father, and one that's my stepbrother.”

She smiles. “Do you want me to be upset or something, Sadie? Because it’s sounding like you're trying to convince me to be against this.”

“No.” I shake my head, holding up my hand. “No, no, no. Nope, I’m more than happy that you're okay with all of this. Just a little surprised, I guess?”

“I got over it after finding out about Declan and Collin. I wasn’t surprised to find out you’ve also been seeing Preston and Grayson.

I see how those boys look at you. Not a single bit of ‘I want to be just friends’ in their eyes.

” She laughs. “I’m not sure how my sweet, sweet husband hasn’t seen it, but Grayson isn’t exactly subtle when the two of you are in a room together. ”

“Huh.” I let out a breath as I lean back into the couch. “Yeah, when you think of it that way, I could see that.”

“I just want you to be careful, okay? I know why you married Collin. And while I don’t agree with the circumstances, that was your choice to make.

And I support you. I just don’t want you to weave yourself into this big web of lies or stress yourself out with all these secrets.

I highly suggest you don’t keep this from the world for long.

Don’t be ashamed of your love. Yes, I know this society isn’t very open to situations like this, and they have ways they want things done, but I know you and these boys aren’t really into that, are you? ”

I think about how Preston is still with Tina. And how it’s not that easy for him to rebel against his father like it is for Collin.

“I do ask one thing.”

“Okay.” I nod my head.

“Grayson has to tell his father about the two of you. I will not keep this from him. It was different when I just had speculations, but now that you’ve confirmed it and I know, I won’t keep this from my husband.”

“That's a fair ask,” I agree. “And I don’t want to sneak around behind Mark’s back. I like him. I respect him. I just–” I look down, picking at my pants nervously. “I don’t want him to hate me.”

“What?” Mom gasps softly. “Sadie, Mark could never hate you.”

“I’m dating his son.” I look up at her. “And Grayson is going to call off his engagement because of me.”

“Mark doesn’t believe in all of that.” She waves it off. “That’s all Grayson’s grandfather. I know Mark will be there for his son in any choice he makes. And if that means being with you, so be it.”

Tears sting the back of my eyes. “You think?”

“I know.” She nods firmly. “Now, go have that talk with Grayson. The sooner the better. He just came down for something to eat, not too long ago, so he should be in his room still.”

“I love you.” My words come out a little choked.

“I love you, too, sweetie.” She gives me one of those mom hugs I didn’t know I needed so badly, before we part ways.

Jogging up the stairs, I head for Grayson’s room. The door is closed, so I knock, just in case. I mean, I’d hate for someone to walk in on me doing something personal.

Although it would be pretty hot to walk in on him pleasuring himself. He looks pretty sexy when he cums.

“Stop thinking about sex, Sadie,” I scold myself, shaking my head.

When no one answers, I knock again and wait before opening the door.

“Huh.” I frown, seeing that the room is empty. Did he leave without Mom seeing? Maybe he’s somewhere else in the house, like the theater room or the game room.

Taking a step into his room, I give myself permission to check out his room. Because why not? I’ve never been here alone before.

It’s your typical rich boy's room. Achievements on the walls and shelves, posters of bands he enjoys, and very nice, expensive things to fill his room. He even has a gaming setup in the corner.

I move slowly as I take in details, eyes roaming around every inch. Moving to his dresser, I run my fingers over the contents. A watch, a nice clock. When I get to the wooden box that stands out from everything else, my interest is piqued. It looks like a jewelry box. His mother’s, maybe?

With careful hands, I slowly lift the top open. “Huh.” There’s jewelry in here, but that’s not all.

“Hold up.” I pick up an earring that looks eerily like the one I lost. “Is this mine?” I look at the other items, shifting through them. “Holy shit,” I whisper, eyes widening when I find a bracelet, a hair scrunchie, a ring, and a plethora of other things.

They’re all things that once belonged to me, that I lost. Or so I thought.

“That sneaky little shit.” I laugh. I should be mad, confused, maybe weirded out, but honestly, I find it kind of endearing.

He liked me enough to want to keep tokens of me.
