Out of Line: A Bad Boy Stepbrother Romance

by Juliana Conners

Chapter 14 – Theo

  After that unexpected romp, the four of us got cleaned up. Miles and Franklin dug into their lunch. While Belinda was in the shower, I ordered myself some stuff from room service. I was a bit famished myself after all that.

  Franklin decided to watch some basketball and Miles had to take a phone call. While Belinda was eating lunch, I came up with an idea.

  “Belinda,” I said. “You’ve spent some time with the other guys, how about you and I go down to the hot tub and relax a bit. We could sip some champagne and just talk.”

  “That sounds delightful,” she agreed. “Let’s do that.”

  I made the arrangements. The hotel had some hot tubs that overlooked a nice part of the city. They weren’t completely private, but they did have glass dividers so at least you could talk privately. And the waiters would come and refill your glasses or bring you food. Very classy, for hot tubs.

  We stopped in the lobby to get someone to let us in and start the hot tub. Arianna, my sister, was there to meet a friend. We made eye contact and she ran over.

  “Theo!” she beamed. “Is this the amazing new girl you had me running all over town for?”

  “Belinda, this is my sister, Arianna,” I introduced.

  “Great to meet you,” said Belinda. “Hope I wasn’t too much trouble.”

  “Oh, no, I’m just kidding,” Arianna laughed. “Theo tends to go overboard. He really likes to impress.”

  “Well, he does,” assured Belinda.

  “Belinda is more than worth the trouble,” Theo added.

  “Aw, you guys are so cute,” said Arianna. “Well, I have to go. I’m meeting someone. Have fun.”

  “You really think I’m worth the trouble?” asked Belinda.

  “Of course,” I said. “I adore you. We all do.”

  The attendant arrived with the key to the hot tub room.

  “This way, sir. Madame,” he instructed.

  The attendant unlocked the room and brought us inside. The hot tub had already been turned on for us and a bottle of champagne was chilling in a bucket near two glasses. The attendant gave a brief overview of the controls and how to summon help if we needed it. I tipped him and he bowed out of the room. Belinda and I got naked and slipped into the tub. The bubbles were nice.

  “Oh, this is great!” she said. “So relaxing.”

  I popped the cork on the champagne. It bounced around the inside of the glass walls and landed in the water. Belinda picked it up and threw it aside. I poured us each a glass.

  “What do we toast to?” she asked.

  “To you and your beauty,” I said. “Your smile makes my day and your beauty has stolen my heart.”

  We clinked glasses. Belinda blushed a little.

  “Jeez,” she said a little embarrassed. “You’re really pouring on the charm.”

  “Isn’t that what you want? Romance in your life?”

  “I do.”

  “Well, if you stick with us, you’ll have the best of three worlds. Miles’, Franklin’s and mine. Miles will take on you adventures, Franklin, well--- He’ll probably take you to a football game or something. As for me, I shall woo with all the charm I can muster,” I assured her.

  “So you enjoy this?” she asked.

  “What’s not to enjoy? Warm bubbles, a great hotel, moderately acceptable champagne…”

  She laughed at the last bit, although really I wasn’t joking. The champagne was a bit dull for my tastes. Acceptable, but dull.

  “But how do you see this working,” she asked. “The day to day stuff, the routine.”

  “Oh, I don’t like the routine,” I confessed. “Too dull, too boring. No, I don’t want to sit around in sweatpants watching Netflix and eating Ben and Jerry’s. I like a proper night out dressed in nice clothes with good food. Life’s too short to lounge around the house watching sitcoms.”

  “Well, I think that’s something we can both agree on,” she said, clinking our glasses again. “I wonder which one of you I can drag to go shopping.”

  “Oh, that would definitely be me,” I admitted.

  “Really? You like to shop?”

  “Oh, I love it. Nothing better than getting that perfect pair of slacks and matching shirt on a day when the store is doubling its coupons,” I said. “Amazon and online shopping has turned the art of going to a mall to get a great deal on a suit into savagery.”

  Belinda laughed effortlessly. Oh, how I loved her laugh. Her smile lit up a room, but her laugh--- It filled the room with air and sunshine. How did I not meet this woman sooner?

  Normally, I would be quite anxious. The worry about keeping a woman like this would weigh down on me. But with Miles and Franklin in my corner, the weight seemed to be lifted. I had back up! The pressure wasn’t all on me anymore and I could finally relax and be myself.

  Belinda and I spent a relaxing hour or so in the hot tub. I massaged her feet underneath the bubbles and we drank just a little too much champagne.

  “Theo, I’ve come to a decision,” she said suddenly. “I don’t care what anyone thinks. This relationship is perfect. I want it to continue. It’s moving a little fast, but I think people in love generally do that, right?”

  “You love me?” asked Theo. “And Miles and Franklin.”

  “Yes, I do,” she said. “I never loved anyone as much as I love the three of you.”

  Chapter 15 – Belinda

  I couldn’t believe I was saying the words, but there I was. I was in love with three men. I probably should’ve waited to be in front of all of them, but it seemed like a moment best lived through Theo. AKA: Mr. Romance.

  “Let’s drink to our new found happiness, darling,” he smiled.

  Theo topped off our champagne glasses. Between the hot water and the alcohol, I was getting kind of tipsy.

  “To love,” he toasted simply, clinking glasses.

  “To love,” I said back.

  We drank and then kissed. Theo was a romantic kisser. It was a light kiss that felt spontaneous and full of energy. It was like you never knew when it was going to happen. That’s what was so great about being around him.

  “So, did I miss anything at lunch?” he asked.

  I must’ve blushed and I definitely looked away embarrassed.

  “Why? What happened?” he laughed.

  “It got very sexual,” I laughed. “I’m so embarrassed now.”

  “It got very sexual?” he said, confused. “How? Where? Did you guys get a second room?”

  “No, in the restaurant,” I said giggling.

  “What kind of restaurant is this hotel running?” said Theo, pretending to be outraged. “I have to talk to the manager or see about having condoms brought to every table.”

  I was laughing so hard, I snorted. This caused me to laugh even more. That was the most embarrassing story now. I felt I owed it to Theo to tell it. I mean, I wasn’t just going to be Miles and Franklin’s girl, I was going to be his too. He should know everything. Not that I thought he’d object, but I thought he might be weirded out by the entire event.

  “Okay, so Franklin asked me about sexual fantasies I had and I couldn’t think of one,” I began.

  Now Theo laughed.

  “What?”

  “You’re basically having a sexual fantasy, I thought,” he laughed. “It’s like you’re in the middle of one and he asks you what your fantasy is.”

  “No, listen,” I said, trying not to laugh. “That’s not the weird part, okay? Plus the waiter was there.”

  Theo laughed even harder.

  “He didn’t do anything, he was just--- Will you let me tell this story?” I insisted.

  Theo composed himself.

  “All right, all right, I’m sorry,” he said trying not to laugh. “What happened?”

  “You make it sound worse than it was,” I laughed. “I’m trying to tell you!”

  I was wheezing a bit and laughing at the same time. Finally, I composed myself and started the story over again.

&n
bsp; “So Franklin asked me what my sexual fantasy was---“

  Theo started laughing. Then I started giggling. We had the giggles now. I was never going to get through this.

  “Let’s have some more champagne,” I suggested.

  “Yes, that’ll help!” Theo said sarcastically.

  He grabbed the bottle and poured. It was just about gone at this point. Jeez, we knocked out a whole bottle between us. I must’ve been drunk.

  “So Franklin asks me about my sexual fantasies and I wimp out. Can’t think of any,” I explain.

  “Even though you’re living it. Right,” agreed Theo.

  “Right,” I said finally getting past this point of the story. “Then the waiter comes over— No wait, before that. Franklin’s like, can I finger you under the table?”

  Theo burst out laughing again.

  “No, wait. You’re gonna make me laugh. Let me tell it, just let me tell it already.”

  “Sorry, sorry,” he said composing himself.

  “So Franklin wants to finger me at the table,” I continued.

  “In the restaurant? In public?”

  “Yeah, I think that was the appeal for him,” I explained. “So he starts doing it and part of it is, I can’t let on that he’s doing it. So the waiter comes back.”

  “You people are insane,” said Theo, making a face. “I am so glad I missed lunch, now.”

  Theo said that, but it was all in good fun. I almost started laughing, but I forced myself to finish the story.

  “So, he’s fingering me under the table while we’re ordering the food and Miles is whispering to me not to cum, but it was kinda hot.”

  “You are a maniac,” said Theo. “Such a voyeur. I never suspected.”

  “It wasn’t my fantasy, but it really got me going,” I admitted. “That’s why we ran back to the room to have sex.”

  “Wow, it’s good to know,” laughed Theo. “I feel like I dropped the ball here, that I at least should’ve fingered you in the hot tub.”

  “You can if you like,” I invited.

  “But what is your fantasy?” he asked.

  “I’m too embarrassed,” I said.

  “After that story?” laughed Theo. “After having sex with three men at the same time?”

  “It’s still embarrassing. I can’t.” I insisted.

  “Oh, come on, darling. Seriously,” he said. “What happened to honesty?”

  “Promise you won’t think it’s weird,” I said.

  Theo laughed uproariously.

  “You let Franklin finger you in front of a waiter.”

  “He didn’t see. You have to promise.”

  “I promise and I can’t imagine I would,” he said.

  “I want two men inside at once,” I admitted.

  It was something I’d always fantasized about and heard about, but I’ve never done.

  “Darling, you’ve had three men inside you!”

  “No!” I said lowering my voice a little. “The same hole.”

  Theo got very quiet and looked away a moment.

  “Oh, God, you think it’s weird,” I said, worried. “Do you think it’s weird?”

  “No, I’m actually very turned on by this,” admitted Theo.

  “Oh, I can, uh, see that,” I said.

  Theo now had a very visible erection.

  “You want me to take care of that for you?” I asked seductively.

  “Yes, but not here,” said Theo. “I want to be one of the guys that double ups inside you.”

  “Absolutely,” I said. “God, I’m getting all worked up again, just thinking about it.”

  “Let’s go back to the room!”

  We quickly got out of the tub, got dried off and headed back to the penthouse. I was about to live another sexual fantasy.

  Chapter 16 – Belinda

  We got back to the suite. I couldn’t believe it, but I was wound up again. Fortunately, this time, I had myself under control.

  “Guys, I’ve decided to be your girlfriend,” I announced.

  A cheer rang out. I gave each of my men a kiss.

  “I want us to be together in a real relationship,” I said. “I don’t care what anyone else thinks or says about it. This is ours and this is real.”

  “Well, we have to celebrate,” said Franklin. “Let’s have dinner.”

  “I knew you were there,” said Miles. “I had a feeling. Nice job, Theo. Mr. Romance!”

  “Oh, and another thing guys,” I added. “I figured out my sexual fantasy.”

  Franklin looked at Theo. He toasted him with a whiskey glass.

  “Theo, you are the man!” he laughed.

  “Here-here,” added Miles.

  Theo bowed humbly.

  “Well,” he said. “I try.”

  “I want two of you inside me at once,” I explained. “But this time, same hole.”

  “Damn, girl,” said Franklin. “You just can’t get enough.”

  Miles and Franklin started to stand, but I put my hands up.

  “Wait-wait-wait, not yet,” I insisted. “I think we should have dinner first. Draw out the anticipation a bit.”

  “Aw,” said Miles. “You sneaky, little minx This is your version of fingering under the table.”

  “Yeah, I guess it is,” I laughed.

  “Oh, man,” said Franklin. “Well, turnabout is fair play. Give me a chance to recover, baby. You damned near drain the life out of me last time.”

  “Oh, I’m gonna drain you again, big man,” I assured him. “Better rest up.”

  I bit my bottom lip and licked my lips.

  “Hot damn,” muttered Franklin. “I may need a cold shower before dinner.”

  “I definitely need to fresh up,” said Theo.

  “You just got out of a hot tub,” I reminded him.

  “I know, but I need to redo my hair and clothes,” he assured. “A look like this just doesn’t happen.”

  Theo looked great. He knew how to put together his clothes and hair. Still, I didn’t want to bruise his ego.

  “Fair enough,” I said. “Just let me pop in there and fix my makeup. I’ll go downstairs and get us a table.”

  “I’ll go with you,” said Miles, joking around. “I’m always ready, unlike these ladies.”

  “Hey, I’m watching a sports team,” reminded Franklin. “That zinger don’t work on me, pal.”

  “Fair enough,” said Miles.

  “Don’t eat too much fellas, tonight is going to make our previous night’s together look like Netflix and chill,” I said. “You’re gonna need a lot of oysters.”

  I got changed and fixed myself up. Franklin’s personal shopper had picked out another killer dress for me. It was bright yellow with black polka dots. It form fitted me like a second skin. I felt like a fashion model.

  “You ready, Miles?” I asked coming out of the bathroom.

  “Oh, my, yes,” he said eyeing me up. “You boys better hurry. I might have to ravage her in the elevator.”

  Miles and I got into the elevator of the hotel. This was happening. They were my boyfriends now.

  “So, what did it for you?” asked Miles. “What finally made you take the plunge with us?”

  “Honestly,” I said. “It was that first night when you guys all explained why it would be perfect. I just--- I just never felt so treasured and wanted, you know?”

  “You are wanted, baby. Always,” said Miles.

  I teared up a little and kissed him. Miles was so great. They all were.

  Getting out on the first floor, we made our way toward the restaurant. Miles pulled me into the alcove to steal a kiss. It was sensual. He had somehow kicked up his kissing game or something and Miles was a great kisser already.

  “Oh, no,” I said. “I think I need to hit the restroom to fix my makeup.”

  “No worries,” assured Miles. “I’ll get us a table. You go on.”

  I went into the ladies room and started fixing my makeup. That’s when Arianna suddenly storme
d in behind me.

  “Oh, hi,” I smiled.

  “Don’t you say hi to me!” she said angrily. “My brother’s in love with you and this is the way you treat him?!”

  “No-no,” I stammered. “It’s not like that. I do love, Theo!”

  “I saw you kissing that other man, you whore! You cheat on him right inside the same hotel?! Are you out of your mind?!”

  “No! Arianna! Please. You have to listen!”

  “Get away from me! I’m going to tell him and anyone else that will listen. You make me sick.”

  I was so flustered and she just stormed out. This is exactly what I didn’t want. People judging me. How could people possibly understand this relationship? With three men, what was I thinking? I love them, but society will never accept us.

  Even after she talks to Theo, it’ll probably upset him. And his parents. Everyone’s parents. They’d never understand. Oh, what have I gotten myself into?! It’s insane.

  No, wait. I love them. I truly do. They’re all perfect for me.

  Oh, God, listen to yourself. “They” are all perfect. Does that sound like a sane person?!

  This went back and forth in my head for a couple of minutes. I really didn’t know what to do. Finally, I concluded there was only one thing to do, talk to the guys and figure this out. Even if this relationship wouldn’t work, they were still my friends. We shared a lot. If I talked to the guys, we would--- They would--- Something would work out.

  I looked in the mirror, I had cried off my makeup again. I composed myself and fixed myself back up.

  “You can do this, Belinda,” I said to myself. “You can cope with this. Whatever happens. You’re strong!”

  For good or ill, I walked out of the bathroom prepared to face the music.

  Chapter 17 – Miles

  I went into the restaurant and got the four of us a good table. Nice view, away from the rest of the diners, but not too far from the wait staff. Theo and Franklin joined me almost immediately.

  “Where’s Belinda?” asked Franklin.

  “Fixing her makeup,” I said. “She wants to look perfect for us. Who won the game?”

  “To tell you the truth,” said Franklin. “I kinda tuned out after her announcement. I don’t even know.”
