Exposed Affections

by Rene Folsom

  A huff came from the front seat as Coda continued his relentless hold on my consciousness—and my lips. Finally separating us, Coda opened his eyes lazily and gazed into mine.

  “Mmm. You taste so delicious,” he whispered as the car came to a stop.

  “Well, you two have managed to suck face all the way to Mom’s shoppe,” Bri said, stating the obvious.

  “And I enjoyed every minute of it,” I said quietly in Coda’s direction, smiling at the thought of sucking face some more.

  “C’mon, Leonardo and Donatello. Mom’s waiting,” Bri huffed as she opened her door.

  Aiden turned to look at Coda just before they both said in unison, “Turtle power!” A fist-bump solidified their nerd status and had me giggling like a pansy schoolgirl.

  Our lunch with Ann was extremely enjoyable, and I came to realize just how well-known the guys were in the small town. Aiden kept his distance from me, allowing Coda to hold my hand and pull out my chair as a man would do for his girl.

  When someone came up to ask how Tanya was doing, I suddenly understood why he was acting so nonchalant. People in their hometown understood them to be married and he had to continue with the façade. It didn’t take me long to glance at his finger, just to see if he was stealthy enough to wear it. Sure enough, he had his wedding band on, and I couldn’t help the bit of jealousy that crept its way into my oversensitive female brain.

  Coda sensed my discomfort and put his arm around me, caressing my shoulder, and looking at me with wary eyes. I smiled back at him, letting him know it was okay—I was okay. I knew I would have to deal with Aiden’s marital status and, regardless of how much I wanted to let everyone know he was mine, I was aware of how important it was to keep my cool.

  Another wave of nausea overtook my senses, causing me to look frantically around the little cafe for the restroom sign. Without excusing myself, I darted for the back of the restaurant.

  I barely made it.

  “Julia? Are you all right?” I heard Bri’s voice through the stall doors. Thankfully, I was done heaving up my lunch and flushed before I could answer her. Braving the barrage of questions I was about to face, I opened the stall door.

  “Ahh, yeah. I’m fine. I guess I ate something foul,” I said with a wave of my hand, dismissing the idea I was getting sick.

  “Are you sure that’s it?” she questioned.

  “Well, I’m wondering if a change in birth control schedule could cause my stomach to be upset. The doctor said I need to start over again…” I trailed off as I thought back over the past month.

  Bri must’ve noticed the abrupt change in my facial expression because she asked, “When is the last time you took your pills?”

  “Wednesday. Less than a week ago.”

  “Well, then you should be fine as long as you’re being careful now,” she said in a nonchalant voice as she started primping herself in the mirror. “Why is the doctor having you wait to start your pills again though?”

  “With everything that happened over the past week, they wanted to get the test results back on my blood work before starting a new regimen,” I explained, a bit puzzled as to why she needed to know.

  Turning to face me, she leaned against the bathroom counter and crossed her arms over her chest. “I know the Double Dragons said you would rather not talk about it, but just so the invitation is open to you, I’m always here if you need someone to chat with.”

  Silence crept its way between us, making her offer a bit awkward. I was about to thank her when she blurted out, “Wait. What happened to you?”

  “Bri, I—”

  “I know, Julia. You don’t want to talk about it. But, since you just flushed your lunch, I think there’s something more serious going on than just your fear.” Approaching me and looking into my eyes, she whispered, “What did that guy do to you?”

  Looking at her, a young woman I’d only known for a few hours, I couldn’t physically make the words leave my mouth. Using nothing but my eyes, I pleaded for her to drop it.

  “That bad, huh?”

  I just looked away.

  “Okay, well, put these on,” she said as she handed me the sunglasses from her head. “You look like death.”

  “Heh, thanks,” I responded, truly thankful she didn’t push any harder for information. “Let me rinse my mouth out really quick.”

  Moments later, sporting a new pair of Oakley’s, we walked out of the bathroom together.

  “Double Dragons?” I questioned with a sideways glance as we were approaching Aiden and Coda waiting for us with Ann at the front of the café.

  Bri shrugged. “I get sick of calling them the twins,” she said with air quotes and a roll of her eyes.

  “You okay?” Aiden asked as he extended a hand and began to snake it around my waist. Knowing he shouldn’t show any public display of affection toward me, I grabbed Coda’s hand and twisted my body slightly to avoid Aiden’s touch.

  “I’m great,” I lied with a smile. “Just a little upset tummy.”

  I could visibly see Aiden’s disappointment and his understanding all in one quick nod of his head. Honestly, I was probably overdoing it because who could tell them apart anyway? The only difference in their outward appearance was the platinum wedding band on Aiden’s finger.

  I felt my energy draining completely as we made our way back to the cabin. The fact I had to fight off the flu after the shit week I endured just seemed like the tip of the iceberg—that just so happened to be melting beneath me. The lies seemed easier to cope with.

  After excusing myself to take a nap, Aiden followed me up the stairs to the loft.

  “Julia, what’s going on?”

  “I don’t know. I feel sick to my stomach and tired. It would be just my luck to come down with the flu this week,” I said, lying to the both of us as I sat on the bed and pulled off my boots.

  “Well, that sucks. Is there anything I can get you?”

  “Naw, I’m good. I just need to rest.”

  “Okay,” he said as he stood at the door with his hand on the knob. “I’m sorry about today.”

  “About what today?” I asked, puzzled why he felt the need to apologize.

  “With the whole Tanya thing. I should have warned you ahead of time how well-known we are in this small town. I have to keep up appearances, even if Tanya isn’t with me,” he explained.

  I nodded. “I know, Aiden. It’s okay, really.”

  “Okay, good. Well, get some rest and make sure you’re all better before tomorrow night,” he added with a wink as he shut the door behind him.

  Tomorrow? No… there was no way he knew what tomorrow was, right?

  Chapter 34

  “Perfect midnight snack.”

  Movement and the feel of the bed dipping to my left caused me to lift my head and examine my surroundings. The room was dark and had me a bit disoriented with what time it should be and how long I’d been asleep.

  Before I could question the time, an arm snaked around my waist and pulled me against a hard, naked body.

  “You have too many clothes on,” he grumbled in my ear.

  Coda.

  “Mmm. I’m sorry,” I slurred my apology. “You have full permission to remove them if you want.”

  “It’s late,” another voice said from the foot of the bed. Aiden. “You haven’t eaten dinner. Are you hungry?”

  “I’m starving, but I’m worried I’ll just toss up whatever I put down,” I whined.

  “You’re feeling that sick?” Coda asked, his body tensing as he felt my forehead. I just nodded. “You don’t feel feverish.”

  “You should at least try to eat something, Angel,” Aiden admonished as he crept his way to the other side of me.

  “What time is it?”

  “Almost ten at night. You’ve been asleep for just under eight hours,” Coda quietly said against my neck.

  “Seriously? I slept for eight hours without a single nightmare?” I gasped.

  “I guess so,�
� Coda added.

  “What did you guys eat?”

  “Ordered pizza. There’s still some left over if you want,” Aiden coaxed, wiping my hair off the side of my face.

  Just the word pizza made my stomach lurch with revulsion. “God, no. No pizza,” I groaned. “I might be able to stomach some eggs or toast. But I’m guessing there’s nothing like that in the house.”

  “Actually, Bri ran to the grocery store and got a few things. Come. I’ll cook you anything you want,” Aiden said with a tug on my hand.

  While Aiden scrambled some eggs for me, I snuck off to the bathroom. I couldn’t help but think of how shitty this past week had been. I felt like hell and could only hope this sickness would subside as soon as humanly possible.

  The delectable smell of food consumed my senses as soon as I made my way down the hall and toward the kitchen.

  Sitting on the counter and listening to my tummy growl, I let my feet dangle and watched Aiden as he skillfully made up my plate of eggs and toast. My hunger increased as the scent of the toasted bread assaulted my nostrils. The food smelled so good I could almost taste it.

  I felt like I hadn’t eaten in ages and must’ve looked like a baby bird begging for scraps. The feel of the eggs warming my insides and the toast filling my stomach made me moan with relief.

  “That good, huh?” Aiden chuckled. I nodded as I continued to shove my face.

  “Julia, I’m worried—”

  “Julilicious! You’re awake!” Bri exclaimed, effectively interrupting Aiden’s worrisome words.

  “I am,” I said with a smile, thankful she barged in at just the right time.

  “Good. You can keep me company then. With the time change, I’m not used to going to bed this early,” she said as she pulled a bag of popcorn from the pantry.

  “Sure,” I said as I stuffed my mouth with more egg. “What’s on the agenda?”

  Bri started the microwave before turning to me and wagging her eyebrows. “Movies and junk food.”

  A night of mind-numbing chick flicks and belly-busting junk food was a perfect way to get my mind off the shit storm that was my life. Finishing my last bite and taking my plate to the sink, I suddenly felt a series of cramps and worried my late-night snack would come back up with a vengeance. I tried desperately to push the thoughts out of my mind, sure as shit I would throw up if I thought about it enough.

  Aiden kissed me on the forehead and told me he was heading to bed. The feel of his lips against my skin sent a buzz of excitement through my body. Wasn’t it Marilyn Monroe who said a real lover is a man who can thrill you by just kissing your forehead?

  Settling on the couch as Bri put a DVD into the player, I asked, “So, you usually stay here and not with your mom?”

  “It all depends. If the Retard Patrol is here, then yes, I stay here with them. I miss my mom, but I usually talk to her more often than I do Aiden and Coda. Plus, this cabin is super cool,” she said, while shoving a handful of popcorn in her mouth. “Although, I started ragging today and, of course, the damn Planeteers don’t have anything feminine in this house. I used lack of groceries as a reason to run to the store.”

  “I’m glad you did. I was starving and pizza sounds horrible to me right now.”

  Eating some popcorn and drinking a soda seemed to help the lingering nausea that threatened to ruin my evening. Overall, I felt good and was thankful I only seemed to suffer from a twenty-four-hour bug.

  Bri finally tapped out at about three in the morning and I feigned sleepiness as I hauled my ass up to the loft.

  Cracking the door and allowing the dim light to cast over the bed, I stared at the two gorgeous men sleeping before me. Quickly stripping down to nothing, I shut the door and stealthily crawled between them in the California king bed. I grabbed each one of their hands and guided them up my body until they were both splayed over my breasts.

  Without saying a word, they both woke up, Coda before Aiden, and brought their mouths over my nipples. Stretching my arms over my head, I laid back and enjoyed their languid assaults on my breasts. It seemed funny to me that men never minded when they were woken up for sex.

  I froze as I thought of having unprotected sex with them again. Until I heard back about the blood tests, I needed to take every precaution.

  “Guys?”

  “Mmm?” Coda mumbled against my breast.

  “Do you have any condoms?” I blurted out with a weak, almost nonexistent tone to my voice.

  Twin heads popped up to look at me through the near-darkness—the moon the only illumination in the room.

  “Why?” Aiden asked.

  “Well, I hate to be a mood killer, but the doctor never re-prescribed my birth control meds. I just don’t want to take any chances, and I totally spaced last night,” I babbled. No need to worry them with the fact I was also waiting to hear back about my blood tests.

  “Are you worried about anything?” Coda asked, while propping himself up beside me.

  “Not really,” I fibbed. “I just don’t think we should risk it.”

  “Fair enough,” Aiden said as he trailed his fingers over my ribcage. “How about if we pull out and come all over this soft skin of yours?”

  “Mmm,” I moaned in response, loving the idea of them jerking off all over me.

  “Is that a yes?” Coda prodded.

  “Yeah, I’d like that very much. I want you to come all over my chest,” I admitted, while grabbing my own tits and squeezing lightly.

  Leaning over, Coda switched on a lamp beside the bed. I squinted at first, needing my eyes to adjust to the sudden brightness. After a few moments, I was able to see two beautiful men staring at me expectantly.

  With a streak of courage, I continued to knead at one breast, pinching my nipple between my fingers, while I let my other hand glide down my stomach toward my sex. Bringing my knees up and spreading my legs slightly, I plunged my middle finger between my pussy lips and began moving around in slow, measured movements.

  Aiden and Coda didn’t touch me as they watched me play with myself. It didn’t take long for them to both begin palming themselves, pumping slowly while they studied my actions. Dipping my finger inside my pussy, I brought my juices up to my clit and picked up the pace.

  “Oh,” I moaned while circling the sensitive bud. My heart rate began to increase as I kept up with my solitary pleasures. Several gasps emanated from me while I watched them pump their erections with more vigor. Obviously, they were turned on by watching me masturbate.

  “Do either of you have any lube?” I asked, slowing my pace a bit to make sure I lasted a little while longer.

  “I think there’s some in the bathroom. Why?” Aiden asked.

  “Because I want you both inside me at the same time,” I confessed breathlessly. Just the admission was making my pending orgasm brim to the surface. The thought of them fucking me simultaneously made my nipples tighten with need.

  “Where do you want me, Jules?” Coda asked before devouring my neck.

  Increasing my fingered assault, I said, “I want you to fuck my pussy, Coda.” My answer was rewarded with a primal growl.

  “Then where do you want me, Angel mine?” Aiden cooed.

  “Ahh,” I gasped as he nibbled lightly on my earlobe. “I want to try it with you in my ass this time.”

  “I’ll go get the lube,” Aiden said as he began to get up off the bed.

  “Wait,” I commanded, causing Aiden to stop in his tracks and kneel on the bed beside me.

  With Aiden looking into my eyes and Coda devouring the sensitive skin along the column of my neck, I let go and climaxed violently. My body thrived as my release shook through me like an earthquake—tremors overtaking my muscles with each thrust of my finger.

  A loud, shaky sigh left my throat as I finally came down from my pinnacle point.

  “Fuck, that was hot,” Coda barked. “Aiden, go get that goo.”

  “On it,” Aiden replied, already halfway over to the bathroom.


  Coda scooted over slightly and commanded for me to climb on.

  “Yes, sir,” I replied, straddling his hips and using my fingers to guide him inside me.

  “Mmm,” he moaned as I sank down over his rock-hard erection, my pussy juices making the penetration extremely easy after I had come so violently. Grabbing my hips, he pushed several quick, rough thrusts upward, making me squeal out with surprise. My breasts bounced unforgivingly with his forceful drives and made me grab hold of his muscular thighs behind me in order to keep my balance.

  “Christ, I love watching you writhe over me as I pleasure you,” Coda roared. “Do you like it when I take care of you like this, Julia?”

  “Fuck. Yeah,” I answered with labored breaths as he continued to hit me hard from beneath me.

  Without warning, he slowed, but kept his hands on my hips as he continued to move in and out of me with measured thrusts.

  “Come here, sexy,” he commanded. “I want your lips on mine.”

  “Gladly,” I responded with a seductive grin, lowering myself to hover inches from his lips. My hair, still pulled back in a ponytail, fell to one side of us with a light thud against the pillow.

  Kissing Coda fervently, I allowed him to delve his tongue past my lips. His taste exploded in my mouth, making me moan with the feel of his teeth scraping lightly against the sensitive skin of my bottom lip. The sensation of his tongue in my mouth and his dick gliding in and out with gentle passion was nothing short of amazing.

  Moving my hips with slow, unhurried thrusts made me feel sexy and powerful. Within moments, I felt cool liquid drip between my ass cheeks. The awareness of what it was didn’t make me tense this time because I knew just how good these men were at fucking me in the ass.

  Deciding I wanted to watch him penetrate my barriers, I turned my head and looked behind me to the sight of Aiden holding his dick against my rear entrance.

  “You like to watch him, Julia?” Coda asked in my ear.

  “Hell, yeah,” I affirmed. As soon as the words came out of my mouth, Aiden began pressing into my ass. Without wanting to, I tensed.
