Show & Sell: A Dark MFMM Romance
Page 24
The hit was not hard enough to knock him off his feet, but it was hard enough though to make him angry…really fucking angry.
He charges at Jasper with a loud grunting noise, akin to a boar.
This is my moment. Without thinking, I hunch my shoulders and start running. I keep my head low and my shoulders and elbows in. As I get closer, I increase my speed, and then I charge at the body of the oversized man.
Jasper’s fist connects one more time and between the two of us, the man comes crashing onto the floor.
My shoulder hurts a little from the charge, but I spin around, looking for my next victim. Jasper walks past me and high-fives me as if we were in the gym having a workout and not in our garden having a fistfight.
With one bodyguard down, we have one to go. The billionaire sleaze bucket should be easy picking. I go to him.
Out of the corner of my eye, I see Aurora cowering behind one of the large pot plants. At least she’s staying out of the way. It would be fucking awful if she got accidentally hit by one of those out-of-control punches.
I try and catch her eye, but she’s not looking in my direction. Her eyes are on someone else.
I follow her gaze and see Anders in the grip of the other bodyguard. He’s been lifted off the ground. He’s kicking his feet madly at the man but is unable to connect with anything.
If it weren’t for the fact Aurora looks petrified, I would actually laugh. It looks kind of funny. And in a way, Anders brought this all on himself.
He should get a taste of his own medicine for once.
“You take him, and I’ll slow him down,” I tell Jasper and point at Anders’ tormentor.
If the poor guy’s not rescued soon, I fear he may not live to tell the tale of the fight.
I’m glad Jasper’s fighting on our side. He fucking tough.
He’s like a mad bull and charges at the bodyguard at about two hundred miles an hour. If I saw a mad man come at me like that, I think I would just turn and run. There’s no fucking way I’d stay to face the fist of fury.
I’ve heard of Jasper’s workout sessions. I know they cost an arm and a leg, but from what I can see of my brother, it’s worth every dollar he spends on it.
When the second bodyguard is lying unconscious on the ground, I’m still wrestling with the fucking billionaire.
I might be good-looking and rich, but I’m no fighter. I’ve never liked it and really never saw the need for it.
As far as I’m concerned, when you have money—lots of money—you hire people to fight for you. Jasper likes to work out and all the shit that goes with it, but it’s never appealed to me. I work out, of course, but not to be a fighting machine like my brother.
If this guy hadn’t come onto our property to claim what was ours, I doubt I would even ever get into the spirit of a fight.
But this man is threatening my life, my obsession…Aurora. She’s my reason for living, and he’s going to fucking pay.
I crush him in the face with my fist, but the asshole gets back up. Blood is streaming everywhere, but he comes for me. Just as I move on him again, the fuckwit crumples before my eyes. It’s as if someone whacked him in the kneecap.
Sweat is pouring down my back, face, and chest. Sweat stains are plastered all over my shirt, and I vow to chuck it out later tonight.
Declan comes up behind me. He’s holding his right fist and shaking his head.
“Man, I thought you were never going to knock him down.”
“Shut up, man,” I defend myself and hear Declan laugh.
“Maybe you should have tried a bit harder,” Declan grins at me.
He’s holding his right fist with his left hand.
“Fuck off. At least we got them all,” I retort and resist the urge to punch him.
At our feet, the billionaire prick groans and rolls from side to side.
Blood’s pouring from his nose, and his white shirt is bright red. He looks like a man that’s been taken down, knocked off his high horse—and that’s exactly what he deserves.
What a fucking shame.
“Hey, you,” Jasper yells as he walks toward us.
I know he’s not talking to me, but I feel my insides tighten at his words.
“Scumbag,” he says as he stops in front of the suit.
“What?” growls the billionaire, holding a handkerchief to his face. “You’ve got no right to interfere.”
“Oh, yes we do,” I say and watch him carefully.
If he were to make any sudden moves, I would be ready to pound him into the pavement.
“We know plenty about you, my friend,” hisses Declan.
Now, the billionaire’s not looking so confident anymore. I see Aurora come out from her hiding spot. Her hair is being tossed by the wind to one side.
The wind is also reaching for her shirt.
She looks so pale, so small, and so fragile. I fear if she’s not careful, a gust of wind might pick her up and take her away from us.
“We know who you are,” I turn my attention to fatso. “We know about your shady dealings and not so very clean friends. And let us put it this way to you in a language you can understand: if you don’t leave our property immediately, we’ll make sure you leave and never come back.”
Silence.
Aurora looks shell-shocked. I want to just go over and pick her up, let her know everything’s okay. But I stay where I am.
Plenty of time for physical contact later.
“The dirt we have on you is real—and we won’t be afraid to use it,” Jasper cuts in.
With a huff and a puff and much grunting and swearing, the billionaire scrambles to his feet. He won’t come back. He’s learned his lesson.
Aurora comes closer. She’s so pale. She’s totally shaken.
I wrap my arms around her. I won’t even mind if Jasper and Declan also want to hold her.
As if saying thanks, she pushes her body into me.
“Anders,” Declan is calling the young man over.
With slumped shoulders, he comes forward.
“You’re going to get into this limo and attend drug and alcohol rehab. You’ll find a bag of your essentials at the clinic.”
Anders stares at his feet. He seems too afraid to make eye contact with any of us.
“And don’t bother coming back until you’re drug-free.”
Slowly, he walks toward the limo. Aurora breaks into a run.
“Anders, wait,” she shouts and sprints toward him.
When she reaches him, she wraps her arms around his thin body and hugs him tightly. I watch as his hands briefly wrap around her before he lets go of her and then pushes her away.
He’s fucking pissed that we’ve intervened, and he doesn’t want to go. Rehab is akin to prison…you’re locked up until you’re better. By my estimates, he’ll be in there for a long, long time.
I catch her as she stumbles backwards. She buries her head into my shirt. Her body’s shaking, and I can feel her tears stain my shirt.
By the time the limo is out of sight, Jasper has bundled the bodyguards into their car and ordered the billionaire to drive off our property.
Aurora is sobbing into me. I stroke her back and then I grab her by the hand.
She follows me somberly to the house, and I know my brothers and I each have one thing on our mind…making sure Aurora’s truly okay and that her needs are tended to.
Chapter 50
Aurora
The guys lead me inside, and I feel like I’m tempting fate.
I just escaped one of the scariest situations of my life, and it was all because of them.
Where would I be without these men?
They saved Anders, my brother whom I’ve been trying to get into treatment forever.
Now he’s finally safe. He might hate me for a while after this, and he certainly might hate them, but it’s all for the better. Finally, he’s gonna get the help he needs.
And then the guys came at the perfect time to save me from t
he scary billionaire loan shark. They arrived just at the moment I needed them. It’s almost as if the universe is pushing us all together.
But at the same time, as Finn holds my hand and leads me back to the beach house, I know that I might be pushing my luck.
These guys have been wanting me to choose between them forever. I’ve been putting it off, and with everything that’s happened with Anders, I couldn’t really come to a decision.
But now the drama has finally died down, and I know they’re gonna expect me to make a choice. Deep down in my heart, I also know what I have to do.
There’s no way I can choose just one of these guys. My feelings run strong for all of them. So, in light of that, I’ve decided that I can’t make a choice. I’m going to have to lose all of them rather than choose just one.
I’ve known this for a while, but I can tell that the hour of reckoning is upon me. There can be no more waiting. There can be no more pushing this off.
I watch as another raging storm is cast over the ocean. It’s been a stormy few days here at the beach house.
At the same time, I welcome the weather. Something about it is just fitting for the mood I’m in.
We go inside, and the nurse assigned to Anders is gone. It’s just us in the house. Finn takes me to the bar straight away, and I’m grateful.
I need a drink now more than ever. Declan shakes me up a margarita, and I take it. We’re sitting around the bar in the sumptuous living space.
“So…” I say hesitantly. “There’s something we really need to talk about.”
“Aurora, it’s okay—” Declan says, trying to cut me off and help me not to have to do this.
“No, Declan, I really have to get this off my chest. I feel like you guys all need to know what’s going on.”
I take a deep breath. “Listen, I know that you need me to choose just one of you to be with. I know that’s important to you. And I know I’m being selfish by dragging this out and by having individual relationships with all of you. It must be hard for you as brothers to see what’s happening.”
I look into each of their faces. This is the last moment when they’re gonna think highly of me.
After I tell him my decision, it’ll probably be all over. I’ll be sent packing, and I’ll have to go pick up the pieces of my life alone.
I take a heavy sip of my drink and go on. “So, you see, I think you should know that I feel very intense and strong things for each of you. And with that being said, I simply can’t make a choice. I would rather lose all of you then to choose just one guy to be with and have the other two hurting.
“I can’t do that to you guys. And I don’t want to be the reason that you guys fight. I don’t want to draw a wedge in your family. So, I’m just gonna bow out. But as I do, please remember that I really think I might love each of you.”
My hands are shaking as I say the words. I’ve never been in love before. But it’s just the truth.
I’ve fallen for the Grayson brothers. They’re so disparate in their varying personalities, and yet they’re also alike at the same time. They’ve each gone out of their way to capture my heart.
My life changed the night of the auction. The night that I met them was the best moment of my life. And they’ve spent every day since then making sure that I was happy.
And now I have to let all of that go. My heart is so broken that I’m tempted to run out of the room and never look back.
But before I can do so, Jasper approaches me. He wraps his strong arms around my body, and I feel safe again.
“Aurora, you don’t have to do this. We have something to say to you, too.”
I look up into his eyes hopefully and say, “You do?”
Finn approaches us and says, “Yes, Aurora. We decided something. We don’t think it’s fair to make you choose between us.”
“Really?” I look into his eyes, searching for the truth.
Declan’s behind the bar, and he leans over and strokes my hair in a soothing way before saying, “We talked about it, Aurora. You’re the glue that holds us together. We hated each other before you came along. Now we have a common mission: you. We’re in love with you, too. You must know that by now.”
“I-I hoped. But I never dreamed it to be true. Do you really mean that?”
Jasper says, “Of course we do. And the thing is, with you being in love with each of us, and with us loving you, we know that there’s no possible way for you to make a decision. None of us want you to feel hurt. So we’ve decided to come together. We’re willing to share you.”
“Share me? Like you really think we can make this work as a relationship?” I say, feeling surprised.
This is certainly not the way I thought this conversation would go. I never dreamed in a thousand years that they would be okay with sharing me.
In my heart, I know it’s what I wanted. I want to be with all of them at once. I thought that was an unfair position to put them in. But they’re telling me otherwise.
Finn pulls me in for a kiss and says, “This is what we want, Aurora. You’ve made us a family again, and I think that we can make this work.
“You put an end to the infamous war between the Grayson brothers. You’re everything to us. And we’ll never ever let anything happen to you, just as long as you can trust us back.”
I look up into his eyes and feel happy. I feel happy in a way that I have never felt before. Suddenly, all the pieces are falling into place, and I know I’m right where I’m supposed to be.
“Well, if you guys are insistent,” I tease. “But yes, I want to be with you. I want to make this work, too. Thank you for not making me choose.”
Declan holds up his glass and says, “To our new relationship.”
I clink my glass against his and take in a long, deep sip of alcohol. It does everything to calm my nerves. But at the same time, that familiar ache of want and desire is building up deep inside my stomach.
The reality of what’s happening is starting to dawn on me. Yes, my dreams are coming true, but at the same time, I know that I’m in for a lifetime of intensity and fierce desire.
It’s a lot to keep up with. These guys make me feel things, dark things, within my own being—and it makes me a little bit scared.
Before I have time to ruminate on the intense emotions and connection I feel to these guys, Jasper picks me up. and he leads me up to the master bedroom that overlooks the water.
Declan and Finn follow, and we all know at this moment how very real this is.
Chapter 51
Aurora
Jasper lays me down on the huge, oversized bed, and I shiver.
Knowing this is real and that we all have invested emotions makes it feel more unique than ever. I’ve been with these guys before. I should know them by now, and yet it feels like the first time all over again.
Having them all at once is what ultimately makes me happy, and it’s what fills me up the most. But at the same time, it’s as intense as anything I’ve ever experienced.
They bring me to new heights of pleasure each time we’re together—and into previously unexplored areas within myself. These guys are commanding and domineering, and something about that makes me want to open up.
I can do this because I trust them. I know that, ultimately, they would never hurt me, and so I can allow myself to submit and to be fully theirs.
I lay very still on the bed, waiting for the magic to happen.
Jasper starts undressing. He looks at me the entire time. He unbuttons his shirt slowly to reveal those rippling abs. Then he removes his pants and boxers.
Soon, I’m not disappointed to find his giant cock at full erection for me.
I tremble just to think of him being inside of me.
“Take it off,” he says.
His tone turns dark, and I don’t dare disobey. In fact, it’s my pleasure to do as he wills.
I slip out of my little beach dress by pulling it over my head. I’m sitting practically naked on the bed, w
earing just a bra and panties.
“Go on,” he says. “Take it all off.”
I look into his eyes and see that he’s being completely serious.
He’s always kinda serious.
I blush and turn away before sliding my panties off and unhooking my bra.
Am I always gonna feel shy like this? Maybe.
As I undress, I feel his eyes feast on me. All of the guys are watching me intently. It’s one thing to be the submissive to one powerful man, but it’s quite another to have three alpha males dominating you.
Sometimes, I wonder how I take it. Sometimes, I wonder how I can do this. But at the same time, that familiar desire runs through my body, and I know this is what I crave.
Declan comes to my side, and he starts massaging my breasts. He kisses my neck, and I quiver under the feel of his lips.
“You’re trembling, baby,” he says to me in a low voice.
“I know. It’s just that you guys are a lot to take,” I say honestly.
This seems to ignite a fire in his eyes. Instead of setting me at ease, he seems more determined than ever to pull me off my path of tranquility.
They want me to feel this way.
They want me to fill nervous and heightened around them.
And that’s certainly the way it is.
I try to calm my beating heart, but it’s pumping wildly against my chest.
I watch as Jasper comes over towards me, and Declan and Finn pull away to undress.
Jasper starts by straddling my chest. His massive twelve-inch cock is right in my face. He squeezes my tits between his large, muscular thighs and looks down at me like I’m his little plaything.
“You look so fucking hot,” he says, pinching my nipples. “Now open up. Open wide for Daddy.”
I do as he says immediately. I open my mouth and received his giant cock. He pushes it down my throat, slowly at first.
I struggle to take in all of him, but I do my best to wrap my lips tightly around the length of his shaft. It’s fucking everything I could want in the world. And at the same time, I feel afraid of just how deep this can go.
