Jeannie bit her lip and took a breath. “Please, both of you have a seat.” Neither of us moved. “Sit down, both of you.” We sat, stunned she would use her T.A. voice on us.
Jeannie stood in front of us, worry and fear creasing her forehead. “Before I start please, don’t interrupt. Please just let me say everything I need to say. Can you do that?”
I nodded and my stomach tied itself in knots. This did not sound good.
Jeannie sighed and began. “First, I need you both to know I have no intention of hurting either of you but it might happen anyway and for that I’m sorry.”
“Jeannie?” Noah started but she cut him off.
“Please. Let me get through this.” Noah nodded. “You’re both so gorgeous, so unbelievably hot, I just, well I had thoughts about sleeping with both of you—um—at the same time.” Noah and I both crossed our arms and slid further apart on the sofa.
“But then you both asked me out within hours of each other and I didn’t know what to do because I thought I just wanted a night with you but it turns out I really like you both and I want us all to try and be together.” She said everything in one breath, one long painful sentence.
Noah spoke first. “Are you kidding me?”
Jeannie shook her head, tears pooling in her yellow eyes. “I’m not.”
“I’m outta here.” Noah shot out of his seat and stormed out of the sitting room.
“Noah! Wait. Please. Can we just talk about this?” Jeannie cried after him.
Numb and shocked as I was, I still had the presence of mind to go after my hot-head brother.
“Nick, please don’t leave too.”
“I’m sorry, I have to see if he’s okay. We’ve been through a lot.” Jeannie nodded, tears now streaming down her cheeks.
I grabbed my coat and left Jeannie’s brownstone. But not before I heard her tortured sobs.
Noah didn’t make it far. He paced in front of the house like a crazy man until I stepped in his way. “Did you know about this?”
I hesitated, did I? Kind of. Did knowing he’d also asked her out count? “No.”
“Liar! How could you keep this from me!”
“Calm down, Noah. Look, I didn’t know she was into both of us, okay? All I knew was that you asked her out after I did. As soon as you told me I was going to cancel on her but I didn’t have her number. So I told myself I’d just go out with her that one time and that would be the end of it.”
Noah nodded. Then rounded on me again. “Did you sleep with her?”
I didn’t have to answer. He could see it all over my face.
“You sonofabitch!” Before I knew it, Noah cold-cocked me right in the jaw. He didn’t hold back either. I was looking at the sky, back flat on the ground without much clue as to how I got there.
“Well, if I am you are, brother,” I said and got on my feet. “And for the record, I asked her first. So if anyone should have any hurt feelings about this, it should be me.”
“Yeah? Well, then why didn’t you say anything when I told you about it in the car? You had the chance right then and there.”
“I wanted to—”
“That’s right. You wanted to protect me. Well, guess what, big brother? I never asked for your protection. Got it? For fuck’s sake, this whole thing could have been avoided if you’d just been straight with me.”
“Oh really? Would you have canceled on her? Would you have given her up so easily?”
“Not a chance,” he said.
“Then we’d be exactly here, fighting over her. Exactly what I was trying to avoid.”
“Well do you want to give her up?” Noah asked.
“No,” I admitted.
“Well, what do we do?”
“Fuck if I know,” I said. “Come on, let’s get out of here.”
Chapter Fifteen
Jeannie
I don’t know how long I sobbed on the sitting room floor. I do know that by the time I got myself together it was dark outside. I took Lucifer, who stayed curled next to me the whole time, for a long, mindless walk and tried not to think about the two men I’d devastated or how I’d just exploded any chance I had with either of them. Or that I’d have to see them both tomorrow.
Cass called as I circled the block a second time but I couldn’t answer. I was barely keeping myself upright. No way could I handle rehashing it.
The rest of the night was a blurry haze of bad t.v. and lots of cookie dough ice cream. Hours later I crawled into bed, tear-streaked, puffy-faced and exhausted.
You know the first moment you wake up, before yesterday’s worries and today’s obligation are awake in your brain? That first, pure, blissful moment where absolutely nothing matters and nothing is wrong?
Yeah, I didn’t even get that. The instant I woke I remembered every horrible detail. I laid there, suffocating under the weight of it as my silly, ugly dog nuzzled my arm.
At least I tried. At least I went after something dangerous. At least I had the guts to put myself out there.
Although it did blow up in my face and now I had to see the Mercer twins in class.
Or so I thought. I couldn’t decide if I was upset they weren’t in class or glad I didn’t have to face them. Can you feel both?
But when Wednesday rolled around and they still weren’t in class, there wasn’t a doubt in my mind about what I felt. I was hurt. Did they hate me? Had I hurt them so badly they couldn’t stand to even see me? It was the day before Thanksgiving so maybe they’d just skipped class to go to a relatives house. It wasn’t like other classes were held today, Webb just had a thing about giving tests the day before a holiday break, telling the students they could leave right after they were done. But neither Mercer showed up to any of Webb’s classes to take their test.
I barely remember the rest of the day or that night for that matter. Cass called again, and again I ignored her. Lucifer cuddled on the couch and we binged Stranger Things for the seventh time. And then we passed out.
Thanksgiving morning I decided I needed to get my shit together. I wasn’t going to walk around like a zombie anymore. I took a risk and it didn’t pay off. Simple as that. I couldn’t continue to feel sorry for myself. I took a shower, put on some makeup and my favorite boss-ass-bitch outfit. My parents were away for the holiday, as usual, so it was just me, Lucifer and a turkey frozen dinner that night.
Or so I thought.
At two p.m. someone knocked on the door. I opened the door to see both Nick and Noah standing on my front porch, Nick sporting a very bruised face.
My heart dropped into my stomach, doing that thing where I couldn’t tell if it excited or scared. “Wha... hi... why are you two... what’s going on?” I asked when I could finally get out a whole sentence.
Nick smiled at me, a gorgeous, if not slightly restrained smile. “Can we come in? It’s cold out here.”
“Um—yeah, sorry.”
We were back in the sitting room. Only this time I was on the couch and the twins stood before me.
Nick started. “We needed some time.”
Noah continued. “You laid a lot on us all at once.”
“We had to figure out what was important to us,” Nick said.
“Turns out,” Noah started.
“It’s you. You’re what’s important to us.” Nick finished.
My gaze bounced from one twin to the other. “I—what are you saying?” I asked around the lump in my throat.
“We’re saying we want to try to make this work,” Noah said swooping down to sit at my feet.
Nick took my hand and sat on the other side. “Whatever it takes, Jeannie.” He kissed the top of my hand and I burst into tears.
Or I would have if Noah hadn’t kissed me so hard and so sweetly that I lost all sense of how I should feel.
“Mmmm.” I smiled as he pulled away and tipped his forehead to rest it against mine.
“It’s going to be rocky, and weird and we’ll have to be careful about who we tell. And maybe we
can’t be too affectionate in public. But we’re willing to try.” Noah pulled away, trying to read my expression.
It was just what I wanted to hear. I sniffed and swiped away the tears on my cheeks. But I had to be sure they were agreeing to everything. “And you guys are okay with the...” I let the thought trail off, afraid that if I said it out loud, if I mentioned sharing me in the bedroom, they’d reconsider.
But The weight on the sofa shifted and Nick was at my neck, kissing and sucking and finding all the right places he’d found before. Then they were both devouring me. One worked his way up from my ankle while the other stayed latched to my mouth. Two sets of hands pulling delicious sensations from me, two tongues to tease me, two ravenous, gorgeous men to please me any way I wanted.
Maybe my genie wasn’t fired after all.
Maybe I was my own genie.
Chapter Sixteen
Noah
It had taken a lot to get here. A lot of yelling and cursing, a few more punches, and a whole bottle of whiskey later, we’d come to an agreement. We both wanted Jeannie and we both wanted to see if this could work.
It took us the better part of the week to figure out the ground rules and we knew there’d be more to come but Nick and I felt ready to move on with our lives and start a new life with Jeannie. Whatever it took, we wanted to give this a fair shot.
I kissed her again and Jeannie moaned into my mouth. I looked into her fiery eyes. “I want you so much.” She gasped at my words as a telltale flush stretched up from her neck.
“Let’s go upstairs.” Jeannie led us to her room, stripping out of her clothes as she did. Nick and I shared a look when the last of the clothing hit the ground.
This was going to be fun.
We followed her to the bedroom. Nick shut the door and I pressed her against the wall, kissing her mouth and neck and cupping her gorgeous fucking tits. She leaned into me as Nick picked up her leg, chucked it over his shoulder and devoured her pussy.
She moaned against my lips, grabbing at my shirt. “You like that, huh?” I pulled away and looked at her. “You like how Nicky licks your pussy, sweetie?”
“Mhmm.” She pressed her lips together, squeezed her eyes shut, and came right there as I held her upright. “Oh Jesus, you were right Nick. She’s a fucking goddess when she comes.”
Nick gave her one last lick and looked up at me. “Man, you’ve gotta get in on this. She’s got the sweetest pussy.”
Jeannie gave me a glazed look as I picked her up and tossed her on the bed.
“What is it with you two throwing me on the bed.”
We both shrugged. I tugged at her knees until she was just where I wanted her, half on the bed, legs bent and feet on the floor—my favorite position for oral. I sat down between her legs, putting my head at the perfect height, and gently ran a finger up and down her soaked slit. Jeannie squirmed away from me. I nodded at Nick who distracted her with his mouth and kept her still for me. Then I dove in.
Holy fuck she was so sweet and easy to please. I’d barely touched her before her legs were shaking. She rocked her hips into me, grinding herself against my tongue. I pulled back, wanting to tease her but she groaned and wrapped her legs around my neck, trapping me in her delicious little pussy.
It was fucking heaven.
She came, screaming into Nick’s mouth and I wasted no time. I ripped off my clothes and plunged into her. She screamed again, though this time she screamed around Nick’s cock. He’d propped her up and Jesus, she looked good sucking him off.
Fuck, she was so hot and tight, I had to fight not to get off too soon. I slowed my pace but again she wasn’t having it, and wrapped her legs around my hips, coaxing me to go harder and faster. She liked it hard, so I gave it to her hard, making sure to rub her clit as I did—no way was I gonna let myself come before she did.
It was a struggle. Watching her getting it from both ends, seeing how fucking much she enjoyed it, her curves laid out before me, bouncing with each thrust. It took everything I had not to go too soon, but the moment her pussy tightened and she started to moan, it was all over for me. She screamed, hips arching and legs tightening around me, and I let go, coming harder than I thought possible. Nick came too—I watched her throat work to swallow his load which was crazy hot.
We fell on the bed, tangled limbs, racing hearts, and sated appetites.
We showered together, not letting Jeannie do a thing herself. We washed every inch of her and she seemed perfectly happy to let us.
Chapter Seventeen
Jeannie
I sighed, relishing the hot spray and the attention from Nick and Noah. They sudsed and lathered me, lingering on my naughty bits until we were all panting and ready to go again.
Nick carried me out of the bathroom while Noah spread a few towels on the bed to keep the water and other things from the linens. Nick laid me down and my men were on either side of me, kissing, and licking and whispering sexy things in my ear. As they did, their hands trailed down my body. Even with my eyes closed, I could tell their touch apart. Nick’s was more aggressive. He touched a little harder while Noah was fond of light, feathery strokes.
They both found their way to my pussy, Nick sliding two fingers in as Noah stroked my already throbbing clit. Delicious pressure just started building when I felt a finger brush across my ass. I gasped at the foreign but incredible feeling and pressed myself into it. Both chucked at my reaction.
“I think she likes it, Nicky.”
“I think she does.’
I knew what they were warming me up for, I’d read it in every menage book, and again, I was of two minds about it. Excited and afraid.
But I wasn’t making choices from fear anymore. I rocked into their hands a little more and whispered, “I want you both in me.”
The looks on their faces... the pure, unfiltered lust and lascivious need all most made me blush.
Both men hopped up from the bed and before I knew it Noah was sitting in my dressing table chair beckoning me into his lap. Nick helped me straddle his twin and I slowly lowered myself onto his cock. “Mmm, God you feel good, Noah,” I said as he scooted us both to the very edge of the chair.
I turned to the side to see Nick on his knees behind me. He cupped my ass and pointed to the opposite wall. “You don’t have to twist around like that. You can see everything right there.” I turned to see all three of us in my floor length mirror.
“Holy shit,” I said. I’d never seen anything so goddamn hot in my life. I rocked on Noah’s cock, arching my back and sticking out my ass for Nick as he bit and kissed the back of my neck. Then he took his huge cock in his hand and rubbed the head against my ass. I cried out. I couldn’t help it. It felt soooo good! He teased me until I was shaking. “Please, Nick.”
“Please what, Jeannie?” he asked with a wicked grin.
“Please put it in my ass,” I moaned.
Nick growled, sheathing the entirety of his length in my ass.
And I wailed, throwing my head back as the feeling of fullness and having every bit of me stretched out overwhelmed me.
We tried to go slow and easy. We tried keeping a steady rhythm but it was just too good. My men fucked me like animals. Growling and groaning low in their throats as they claimed every part of me. They both felt so fucking good, and I milked it for all I could. Nick in my ass, Noah in my pussy while grinding my clit against his body, I came screaming, writhing, nearly dying from three different kinds of touch.
It was the best fucking I’d ever had.
Watching us recover in the mirror, panting, sweaty and cuddling, I smiled knowing I could have this anytime I wanted.
I was my own genie.
Epilogue
Jeannie
We didn’t have turkey or stuffing or gravy that year. But we did have each other and that was more than enough for me.
Nick and Noah finished their respective degrees in finance and international business in a year, the same year I finished my doctorate. Turns
out, they weren’t freshmen like I’d thought, they were actually older than me by a year, catching up on missing credits because of their parents’ terrible situation. By that summer they both had jobs they loved in the city and we’d moved in together, after Noah was finally able to sell his parents’ home.
By fall the three of us were married. We had a small civil ceremony in the back room of Josie’s. Serene, the twins’ cousin arranged everything. She even found a justice of the peace who didn’t care that he was marring three people.
