“It's for your bakery.” Bryce smiles at me. “I remembered what you said the first time we met. About how you were denied for that loan and all of us agree that you deserve a real chance. We know how important it is to you to make sure your grammy is not disappointed.”
“I can't accept this,” I immediately say, putting the money back in the box and handing it to Koda beside me. “Thank you, but it's too much. I just can't take something like this.”
He pushes the box back at me and shakes his head. The serious look on his face tells me this isn't something he’ll hear any more about. “You deserve it. You've given up a lot to make sure this bakery stays afloat in her memory, and we want to help you.”
I know better than to argue with Koda.
The tears fall down my face, and my body shakes as I cry. I hold the box to my chest, knowing that this is exactly what I need to fix the bakery. I can set up the online marketing system I want to, I can even potentially hire another baker to work there. It's everything I need to set the business up for success.
Yet there's a bittersweet feeling knowing this is the end of the make-believe life I've created here with the three of them. But I don't want to think about that. At least not now. Not on Christmas.
The rest of the day is like a dream. It feels like I've been transported from my everyday life into one of the Hallmark movies I watch every year around this time. The four of us play board games and talk, sharing memories of our childhoods while the smell of honey ham lingers in the air behind us.
After the sun sets, we light candles around the table and enjoy a feast that all four of us prepare together. For the first time in a long time, I am happy. I feel welcome and cared about in a way I've yearned for ever since Grammy died.
When evening comes and it's time to sleep, I don't want to close my eyes for fear of waking up to find out none of this was real.
CHAPTER 11
The Christmas tree is still set up and thriving, with twinkling lights swirling around it on New Year's Eve. The four of us are sitting in the living room, all huddled together on the couch while we watch the New Year's Eve special live from Times Square.
The past week has been nothing shy of exhilarating. Every night, I've been sleeping in a different bed and exploring my sexuality more. The three of them are all okay with sharing me, and they are very eager to show me the ropes of various things in the bedroom. I figure if I'm going to be leaving soon, I might as well take full advantage of the situation. And on top of that, I've been getting a lot of crazy ideas in my head lately.
The only caveat is that every time I wake up in one of their arms, the idea of leaving gets even harder. I know I have to go. I have a life outside of this place that I need to get back to. The bakery, Grammy's house, Harmony. It's all waiting for me, and I can't live in this daydream for the rest of my life.
I lean over and pour myself another glass of the champagne Eli grabbed for us at the liquor store earlier today. I look over at the three of them, and the excited smile falls from my face. Koda leans forward and takes a deep breath before speaking.
“We have something to tell you,” he begins, giving me a moment to brace myself for the news before speaking again. “This is the last night you'll be here with us. Tomorrow morning, we're taking you back to the bakery, and you won't see us again.”
“Really? Why can't I see you again? Can't you come to the bakery sometime or?—”
“It's too risky after the robbery,” Eli cuts in, resting his hand on my thigh to calm me down. “Especially considering it wasn't just a robbery. We technically kidnapped you, too. If someone spots us, we’re dead.”
I take a deep breath and nod my head up and down slowly. I knew this day was coming, and I had been willfully ignoring it could be so soon. I wanted to pretend as long as possible, but that ship has sailed. The three of them watch me as if they're expecting me to burst out into tears so they can comfort me. I don't, though. For the first time in a long time, I'm actually able to hide my emotions.
Instead of crying or begging them to let me stay, I swallow my champagne in one sip and look at all three with a determined look. “Okay. If this is my last night here, I want to make it count. I want all three of you.”
They look at one another in shock. Clearly, they're surprised by my sudden interest in taking something like this on. I'm still relatively inexperienced, but I've learned a lot from them. Plus, spending every night in a bed with a different one, knowing the others are getting off on the idea their friend is pleasuring me, has made my mind wander quite a bit. What would it feel like to be with two men? What about three?
“Are you sure?” Bryce asks, leaning forward with a shocked expression quickly turning to an eager one.
“I'm positive.” I look all three of them in the eye, letting them know this is something I want and that I'm ready for. None ofthem have to say anything else, nor do they want to object. They stand and lead me to Koda’s room since it's the biggest.
Nobody bothers closing a door because there's nobody to hide from. As soon as we’re all in the room, hands start pawing at me, lowering my pants and lifting my shirt over my head. Since I've been here, I haven't had a bra or underwear to wear other than what I wore on the day I was taken. I'm stark naked as soon as they're finished.
I watch them as they all take their shirts off, standing in front of me in nothing but their denim jeans while they move around me. I reach out, grabbing Bryce's chest first as his lips fall to my neck. Eli comes up behind me and kisses my shoulder, wrapping his arms around me to caress my breasts. Koda drops his knees in front of me, spreading my legs apart so his face can fit perfectly between them.
“Do you think that tight pussy can fit two of us?” Bryce whispers in my ear, gently nibbling the lobe while he looks down at Koda pressing his mouth against my clit. “You want us to fill all of your holes tonight, princess? To come in all of them, filling you from every angle.”
The pressure builds between my legs as Koda's tongue slides up and down my slit, teasing my clit with every stroke. “Yes.” My body shivers as I moan.
I feel Eli behind me, slowly lowering himself to kneel, his hands caressing me along the way. He grabs my ass and lifts my butt cheeks, spreading them apart before he slowly swirls his tongue around my asshole. Bryce grabs my arms and holds me steady as I lean my head back and moan. His mouth finds my nipples, and his tongue flicks the sensitive buds back and forth while he holds me. All three of them pleasure me with their tongues, and the sensations are enough to leave me dripping wet.
“Oh yes!” I cry out while all of them tongue fuck me, entirely focused on bringing me intense pleasure. When my orgasm comes, all three of them continue, focusing on the sensitive parts of my body, heightening the intensity of it. My entire body trembles as I shake, leaning far back, unable to hold myself up.
“You sure you can take much more of that?” Koda asks with a smirk as he stands, gripping his hard cock in his hands. “It's a tall order, pleasing the three of us at once.”
“I'm up for it,” I say, reaching my hand out to caress his hard chest. “Whatever you want. I want it.”
