“I grew up in places like this out in Long Island with Jake. We have money now, but I like to go back to simpler times here and there, particularly since my family has all passed away. Airplane crash seven years ago…I like to hold onto the memories.” He stared into her eyes. “I thought that you’d like it here as well.”
“I do.” She smiled. “I just remember the hotel and the dinners. It was all so fancy, but this is nice. I ate at places like this as a kid too. There’s a certain charm to them.”
“I mix things up so you’ll always be guessing.”
After lunch, he brought her back to her house and parked the car. “Don’t you have to work?” Sadie teased him as he got out of the car and came around to open her door.
“I’m the boss, and I have a meeting,” Brent winked at her as he walked to her apartment by her side. Sadie took his arm and breathed in his scent as she made a mental note that Brent smelled fresh like the ocean and Jacob smelled clean like mint and herbs. Sadie unlocked the door and pulled him in by the hand as their lips met with all of the restrained desire that they were feeling over the last hour. Brent kicked the door closed and lifted her up to carry her to her bedroom as she wrapped her arms around his neck to hold on with a loud giggle.
“It’s so small in here,” Sadie protested as he dropped her onto the bed and kissed her hungrily. She undressed in minutes, and he was kissing down her body as she stroked his hair and watched. Just like before, Brent was fantastic on his own, and he made her come three times when it was all said and done. They had to be creative since his over six-foot frame didn’t fit so well on the bed but they laughingly agreed to go to his place next time. When he kissed her goodbye, Sadie missed the both of them. She watched him leave as a blonde strode purposefully towards her door as she licked her lips. “Yo, Viv.”
“Was that a lunch date that you just got back from?” Vivian asked as she surveyed Sadie’s sloppy appearance.
“Yes and so much more.” Sadie pulled her best friend in and shut the door as she stared at her. “I don’t know what to do.” She told Vivian everything from the night of the auction to the weekend as her friend widened her eyes.
“Oh my fucking God…both of them? Sadie, that’s so unlike you,” Vivian sympathized as Sadie nodded with a frown. “They’re gorgeous, though. If I wasn’t engaged, I might be a little jealous.” Vivian smiled since they both knew her soon-to-be husband was a handsome man that she was crazy about. “Who would you pick if you had to?”
“I don’t know,” Sadie admitted as she looked at Vivian. “They’re opposites, but I like both of them.”
“Ride it out. Hell, fuck the ever loving hell out of both of those men. You deserve it for so many reasons.” Vivian was no stranger to the way most men were towards her friend and called all of them stuck up assholes that didn’t know what they were missing.
“I guess. It just feels so…taboo. Something like that.” Sadie had mused before she shook her head. The girls talked for a bit longer before Vivian went back to the gallery and Sadie got some writing done until her phone rang later that night.
It was Jacob. He asked her to dinner, and Sadie accepted before she finished up her article and checked it before sending it to her client. She dressed in a dark purple dress that clung to her curves and some black heels with dark liner and nude pink lips. She walked out to the curb to find Jacob walking towards her as a smile crossed his face. “You look gorgeous.” He kissed her softly and led her to a car that rivaled Brent’s, where he opened the door for her.
Dinner that night was a steak and seafood place where she found herself enjoying it as much as she had the lunch date. They were different men, but a part of her was beginning to care deeply for them both. He bought the best wine in the place and allowed her to drink to her heart’s delight before they left and they headed the opposite direction of her apartment. “Where are we going?”
“My apartment, if that’s okay. I want you to see it.”
Sadie smiled as they pulled into a garage and wondered where Brent lived. Was it close to here and would she ever see his place? Jacob got out and opened her door, leading her by the hand to an elevator. It took them to the twentieth floor into a luxurious hallway where he unlocked an enormous white door and pushed it open. The apartment reminded her of the hotel room with a spacious living room and a marble fireplace with an equally beautiful kitchen that she could see a part of from the foyer. She watched as Jacob slipped off her jacket and set it on the chair before he turned towards her. “I’ve been thinking about you since we all left the hotel.” Jacob stepped forward and cupped her face with his hands. He leaned down to kiss her as she parted her lips in anticipation and slipped hers around his neck. Their desire was slow but very steady, and Sadie moaned into his mouth as he lifted her and pressed her against the wall.
She was tugging at his clothes after she lifted her dress over her head and Jacob let his pants slip down his legs as his cock sprung out. He ripped off her satin thong and fingered her clit before he pulled her to the bedroom and reached into a drawer on the nightstand.
Jacob pushed her onto the bed and spread her thighs apart with his knees as he rolled the condom over himself. They hadn’t done a lot of foreplay this time, but he didn’t need it as he slid easily inside of her. She grunted as she wrapped her legs around him and scraped her nails down his chest. Sadie arched her back as he held her still and drove himself into her over and over until she was gurgling his name in a volatile release as his fingers dug into her hips.
He dropped over her for a long kiss before he pulled out slowly and she tasted the sweat above his lip. “Fuck if I don’t crave your body all of the time, Sadie. I knew that night that you were something to hold onto and when Brent got involved…I went with it because he’s like a brother to me.” She felt her heart drop. “Not that it wasn’t hot watching you with him, but this is nice. Just us.”
“Yeah.” She replied as his hand slid down her body and found her clit with his finger. They were soon headed into the rabbit hole as he made her come with his finger and hand before asking her to ride him hard so he could watch her tits bounce. Sadie fell asleep there, and they dressed hurriedly in the morning so he could get to work and she could do a conference call with a new client.
The kiss that he gave her before she slipped out of the car made her lips tingle, and Sadie stared into his eyes before she got out on her own. She walked to her apartment slowly as she realized that she cared deeply for both Brent and Jacob.
The next time she went out, Sadie saw them both. They ordered Thai in and spent the night at Brent’s apartment eating and fooling around on the couch. Sadie found it to be more casual than Jacob’s with a hint of a beach theme, but the bedroom was just the same as both of the men took turns tasting her and biting at her nipples before they filled her pussy and mouth. She felt fulfilled as she was coming around Jacob and swallowing Brent, her body taking the beating that she loved and craved. She cuddled close to both of them as they fell into a silence and Sadie fell asleep harder than she had since the hotel.
They continued this way for a few months, mixing it up with just one man and sometimes the three of them. It was hot as ever, but Sadie noticed three months later that she was seeing them alone. Both seemed stressed and tense even as they fucked her in their beds but there was no mention of the other guy. She also knew that she was falling in love with both of them, more and more with every night that she spent with Jacob or Brent. Sadie could see the look in their eyes sometimes when she met their gaze, and she almost said it, but something held her back.
Society told her that it was wrong. The looks that she got from people that knew her from the auction made her ashamed of what she was doing. Vivian had to fire her assistant for gossiping about Sadie and the guys and wasn’t kind about it as she screamed at her staff to keep their mouths shut. It was uncomfortable for Sadie in many ways, and she considered just ending things and finding a man that she could just love for who he was
without complication.
The night that she realized something was terribly wrong was a night with Brent. He was the easygoing one, pleasant compared to Jacob at times. This particular night, he’d taken her to a cute place for dinner but was sullen throughout the meal and afterward took her to his apartment. There was no kindness, no affection. He fucked her like he always did, but this was angry, and she sensed that he was troubled by the whole situation as she looked into his face after they collapsed on the mattress. “What was that? What’s going on with you and Jacob? You’re both being assholes these days.”
Brent looked shocked since she rarely used that kind of language before he ran a hand through his messy hair. “We’re not speaking too much right now outside of work, and even that’s touchy on most days. We both…we both fell in love with you and being together as a threesome is too much for us. I think it’s also too much sharing you now. We never meant for this to happen that night with the auction.”
“Oh,” Sadie said as she stood and started to dress. Brent watched her quietly. “Maybe it’s best if we just end it then. You have been friends forever, and I don’t want to break that.” Her voice was shaking from the tears forming in her eyes and she stared at the floor. She was madly in love with both of them and hated what was happening, but she couldn’t stay here. Not tonight and not anymore. Sadie looked back at Brent on the bed, perfectly toned from what she assumed was additional exercise to work out the stress and gorgeous to look at. She wished that it was just lust. Sadie whispered goodbye and walked out to get her purse before she got a car on her phone.
CHAPTER 6
Sadie didn’t contact them, and they remained quiet for the next week. Her heart ached over the loss, but her body missed them as well. She found herself tossing and turning at night alone in her bed, not sleeping as she tried to make herself come with her hand and the toys that she’d purchased recently. She needed to feel like she did with Brent and Jacob but the releases that she gave herself were so understated compared to what she was used to. Still, she tried. Sadie masturbated in the shower, in her bed and anywhere in the house just to try and fill her needs.
Vivian stared at her over lunch one day with worried eyes. “You look miserable, Sade.” They were supposed to be going over details for the wedding rehearsal, but Sadie was tired and grumpy, much like every day.
“I just…miss them. I miss both of them. I wish that I could pick one over the other or even just blend them into the perfect man, but I can’t.” Vivian knew about what had happened, and she took a bite of her salad and chewed thoughtfully for a moment.
“So go to them. Throw all of this out there and just set things straight. It’s not the norm to be with two men, not even here in the city. You’ve just looked so terrible for these past few days, and I think you know what you need as much as I do.” Vivian told her with a serious face. “Fuck the gossip. Fuck everybody. Just live your life and make yourself happy.”
“Yeah?” Sadie asked and watched her best friend nod fiercely.
“Hell, yes.”
They planned over the rest of the meal and even did a little shopping. Sadie woke up the following morning and put on the new red dress over a black garter belt and matching bra after she applied her makeup to perfection. She wanted to wow the men and fix everything that had gone wrong. Sadie slipped her feet into heels and walked out to her car before she looked up the address of their building.
She had taken a deep breath before she pulled out into traffic. The robotic voice told her where to turn as Sadie followed the directions and found a garage to park in. Sadie looked at herself in the car mirror and ran a hand through her curls before she got out and walked to the intersection to cross the street. There was a catcall from a window, and Sadie made eye contact with a young black man as he gave her a thumbs up sign before driving through the light.
That made her feel good.
Sadie walked into the massive building and looked around the impressive lobby that was all windows and couches and chairs surrounding a prominent marble desk located against the wall with two women sitting behind it and assisting people. A tiny little brunette looked at her and asked if she could help her as Sadie cleared her throat. “I am here to see Brent or Jacob. No, both.”
“Do you have an appointment?” Her voice was snotty, and Sadie stared at her for a long moment.
“Can you give me a name?”
“Sadie Jamison. No appointment,” Sadie replied slowly as the receptionist’s eyes darkened.
“You’re the bitch from the auction. They’ve been difficult since then, and it’s your fault. What are you doing here?” Sadie widened her eyes at the question as the blonde looked over at her and gasped.
“Josie, stop it.”
“You know I’m right, Maddie. I don’t think I should let you back there.” Josie told her, and Sadie felt her skin flushing red.
“Screw you. I am going to talk to them. Where are they, Maddie?” Sadie asked as she stared at the blonde with a dark expression.
“Seventh floor. The elevator is to your right,” Maddie told her quickly as her coworker glared at her. “Go right past the desk and their offices are side by side at the end of the hall.”
“What are you doing?” Sadie heard Josie hiss as Sadie walked away towards the bank of elevators.
“They have been so unhappy. Let them have a chance to get what they want.”
Sadie thought about the words as she walked and realized that she'd caused the rift between them and ruined their friendship. A part of her wanted to turn and leave and not see them, though Sadie reminded herself how much she loved them and that she was here to try and save things between all of them. She would always regret it if she didn't try far more than if she walked away now without trying anything at all. She knew that she wanted Brent and Jacob more than she'd ever wanted anyone before in her entire life. They were worth fighting for.
Sadie pushed the button and waited for a door to slide open before she stepped on and pushed the button for floor seven. It was beautiful inside with a mirrored ceiling and plush burgundy carpeted floors, and she looked up as she imagined getting taken in here by her men. Sadie felt her clit start throbbing and she let out a trembling sigh. She waited for the ride to end, and when the doors opened again, it seemed like hours later.
Sadie walked out and noted where the desk was before she walked forward. “Can I help you? Ma’am? Who are you here to see?” The nasal voice of the woman there followed her as Sadie strode down to the end of the hall where there were two doors, and she looked blindly between them before she opened Brent’s and walked inside.
“What are you doing here?” He stared at her for a moment before standing and walking around the desk. “I thought you decided that you wanted out. I thought we were over.” Brent’s hands found her face as he claimed her lips in a demanding kiss that she had to fight herself to stop.
“I want to see Jacob in here. I want you together.” Sadie demanded as he stared at her in disbelief.
“Why? Do you want him instead?” Brent asked her as he tried to kiss her again.
“I need to talk to both of you,” Sadie demanded as she stepped back and took deep breaths to regain her composure. “Now, Brent.”
He dropped his hands and walked around the desk before picking up the phone. “I need you in here.” There were none of the comfortable jokings that Sadie loved running between them, and it was tense and ugly. “He’s coming.” Brent stared at her like a starving man that needed food, his eyes dragging down her body slowly as he took her in.
“Good,” Sadie told him in a shaking voice as she looked slowly around the office. It was spacious with a large leather couch against the back wall and even a small kitchen to the left of the door. There was even a television against the wall where Brent could watch something while he worked at his massive black desk. She could see that they ran a successful company just from the office alone, without all of the papers spread out on top of the desk and a si
ded table as well. Just being near him, smelling him, made her shake, and she looked back into Brent’s darkening blue eyes. The door opened, and she shook with the noise as well as the scent of Jacob behind her.
“What do you-” Jacob’s cold voice stopped as she felt his eyes roving over her. “Sadie. What are you doing here?”
She swallowed the lump in her throat and turned to face him. “I need to speak to both of you.” A tear slid down her cheek as she pressed her hands against the soft cotton of her dress before she licked her lips.
He watched every move with a riveted gaze as she took in the circles under his eyes and the light scruff on his chin, something that Brent was sporting as well. “About what? I thought that you were moving on since I haven’t heard from you.”
