Page 47 of Arris, Jayme & Dyani
“You don’t have to tell me twice.”
I rolled away from Arris, yanked my blanket over my head, and snuggled in so I could get some last minute sleep before I had to kick Arris out and pick Blake up from my mom’s.
The thoughts of what could be between me, Arris, and Dyani played in my head with a series of different outcomes, each better than the last, until I somehow slowly drifted to sleep.
Chapter 10
Dyani
I cursedand hopped back when I barreled into a full vase of flowers. I looked down at the red roses for several long seconds before I dropped to my knees and slid them back into their vase. I pushed back into my apartment and set the vase on my kitchen island. I looked at the now wet card on the side.
Miss you. -A
Arris.
A stupid little smile slipped over my face. I looked from the flowers that had just been delivered to the ones he’d gotten me for our first date. They were starting to wither but I hadn’t had the heart to get rid of them. I decided I was going to make time to do it when I got home from my meeting.
My meeting.
Shit.
I dropped the card into a kitchen drawer and hurried out of the apartment. I was hoping to lock down a new client today who had the potential to bring in a lot of money if given the opportunity. Even with my splintering headache and hangover, I wasn’t willing to let this kind of money just walk away from me. I could always climb back in bed after the meeting anyway.
I felt like trash though. I wasn’t sure how I was awake, let alone functioning.
I called Arris a few minutes into my drive. It was the least I could do considering we hadn’t spoken much yesterday. It wasn’t even that I didn’t want to talk to him. It was more so that I wasn’t sure what exactly to say following the night he, Jayme, and I spent together. It was great. Jayme was fucking gorgeous and Arris was fine as hell. They both sent sparks through my entire body with their touches, and even with the three of us all being together, I could fully understand what Jayme meant when she said she’d never questioned where she stood in threesomes. There hadn’t been a single moment where I felt like the odd woman out, even with the history they shared. I felt like the center of each of their universes, and when they were focused on each other, I was just so in awe watching them interact that I wasn’t given a chance to feel anything else.
That in itself was a lot to unpack. I’d never had a threesome before. Knowing Arris and Jayme not only had history but a child had me questioning everything. I wasn’t sure where things were going. I thought maybe the night had been the two of them reconnecting and getting back together and I was just a fun fling for them, like the many they’d had before I met them.
Arris sending me flowers somewhat put that concern to rest though.
Arris answered on the second ring. “What’s up, baby girl?”
“Hey. I was just calling to let you know I got the flowers.”
“Good. I’m glad they got to you in one piece.”
“They’re beautiful.”
“Yeah? You like the classics?”
“Of course.”
“Good to know,” he said and I was prepared to bet anything he was wearing a cocky grin. “What are you getting into today, Dyani?”
“Well, I’m on my way to a meeting right now to hopefully lock in a client, but nothing much after that.” My eyebrows knitted together. “Why?”
“I’m tattooing right now but I should be done by the time you finish. You want to meet for late lunch or early dinner or some shit?”
“Arris, you’re tattooing someone right now?”
“Yeah.”
“Why?” I asked seriously.
“I mean, it’s my whole job, Dyani.”
“I knew that. I mean I know that,” I corrected. “I just meant why would you answer my call while you’re busy.”
