"Kate." Richie's voice is thick, seductive as he commands her closer. "Come here."
Her heart starts racing. "Why?"
"Because I want to watch you fuck Seth."
She swallows an audible breath. "And what if I don't want that?"
Richie smirks. "Then I'll leave. Just say the word."
Her gaze darts across the room to Seth, his eyes locked onto her like a predator stalking its prey. She waits for him to say something, but he's silent, and she realises why. If she makes love to him in front of Richie, it has to be something she decides, not him, and definitely not Richie.
"Kate?" Richie prods. "Want me to leave?"
"No," she replies with absolute certainty.
Seth finishes off his beer in one quick gulp and scoots over to sit on the edge of the bed. With his keen stare following her every move she approaches him, her stride quick and confident - but he's not the only one watching; Richie is as well.
She comes to a stop in front of Seth. He's looking up at her intently, the deep pools of his brown eyes boring into her soul, and she reaches out to cradle his face. His skin is warm, his hands warmer as he yanks down on her towel. It drops to the floor and she's standing in front of him naked, vulnerable, exposed. However, her embarrassment dissolves when a quick glance reveals Richie's eyes are still glued to her, inhaling her in, as is Seth's, and the desire in their faces fill her with confidence.
In their own way they both help her feel strong and beautiful, but they can break her down just as easily. Seth can turn her into a quivering mess with only a touch, the same way Richie does with simply a look, and between them she's a bundle of heightened nerves, throbbing and aching, desperate to be satisfied. Ohgodohgodohgod. Seth's caressing her naked body, his hand slipping in between her legs to cup her sex and tease the most intimate part of her. Her body shudders with pleasure, the sensation intensifying when his tongue laps over her right nipple, sucking the hardened nub. Her fingers curl into Seth's hair, clinging to him for dear life before her knees buckle and she loses her balance. Her head lolls back, soft moans escape her throat and she's completely lost in a haze of ecstasy.
Suddenly Seth lifts her up and puts her down on the bed. For a moment she's too dazed to think but then he's hovering above her, his hands trapping her arms above her head.
"You sure about this, Princess?"
Her heart melts. That's the thing about Seth. He may not often get sentimental but he shows his feelings in other ways, like right now when he's worried that Richie is somehow pressuring her into this. She gives him a tender smile. "I love you. I love him. This is what I want."
He draws her closer for a kiss, his mouth ravaging hers and she returns the kiss with equal ferocity.
Richie peers at the two most important people in his life, their gazes fixed on one another, bodies intertwined. Maybe he should feel jealous - they do look completely lost in each other - but he doesn't, not really, because that's his brother and the woman they love and this is how things are supposed to be between the three of them. Here's to getting rich and fat and dying in the arms of a beautiful woman. It never occurred to him all those years ago they would both fall for the same woman but it only makes sense that they did. Kate is everything he and Seth want and need; she's their destiny.
Her guttural moan brings him out of his reverie and he turns his attention back to Kate. Seth's kneeling on the floor, going down on her, and her legs are hooked over his brother's shoulders and Richie can feel himself getting hard at the sight of her so aroused. She's writhing, aching, and now that Richie's not the one making love to her he can actually take his time and observe how beautiful she looks when she's about to come. All of a sudden she's tugging on his arm, clawing at his skin, urging him to come closer. He obeys.
Perched above her head, upside down, he palms her face, mesmerized by the sight of her glazed eyes caught between pleasure and pain.
"Richie!" she groans, tugging his shoulders.
Richie smirks. "I think you mean Seth."
"Yeah. I'm the one doing the work here," Seth pipes up, wearing a sly grin on his face.
"Shut up..." Kate's words die down when Seth starts dropping soft kisses on her inner thigh.
As his brother teases Kate mercilessly with the promise of a happy ending, Richie regards the carefree smile on his brother's face. Seth's always been the cautious type and wasn't one to let his guard down very easily - except with him of course. When married to Vanessa, Seth tried to change (more for her than himself) but Richie knew it was only a matter of time before that sham of a marriage fell apart. Thanks to their asshole of a father, his brother's never been able to let anyone in. But it's different with Kate. Richie sensed the change immediately when they were staking out the strip club this morning. Perpetually restless in the past, there's a calmness to Seth now that wasn't there before, and Richie knows it's because of Kate and him. Without the two of them, Seth would be lost. Just like Richie would be without them.
"You better be nice to me, sweetheart," Seth murmurs.
"Or what?" she retorts through labored breaths.
"Or I might stop." He pulls his hand away, winking at her.
"Then Richie will get me off."
"And why would I do that if you aren't being nice to my brother, Katie-Cakes?" Richie counters, exchanging a smile with Seth.
She shifts up, balancing her weight on her elbows. "You guys are both assholes."
"That we are." Seth leans forward, delving his tongue into her belly button.
"Too bad that doesn't stop me from loving the both of you."
The certainty in her tone makes Richie happier than he ever thought possible. There's no shame, no doubt in her voice; she's not hiding her feelings anymore. Seth seems ecstatic too as he starts going down on her again, sliding his fingers inside her this time so that she thrums in response. Richie shifts to lay down beside her, holding her down with his hand pressed against her chest. He plays with her breasts, his tongue licking one nipple while his fingers flick the other. She moans and writhes, her body on fire. He can hear her heart pounding, can practically see it palpitate through her skin every time he and Seth touch her. Her body pulses with energy and soon the room is filled with sounds of her raspy screams. But it's not over, not even close, because she starts rubbing his cock through the fabric of his trousers before unzipping his pants. Her fingers start to work him in a slow rhythm, playing with his balls, doing all the things he likes exactly the way he likes it.
"Take off your clothes, Seth," she orders.
Her gaze wavers between him and Seth, fierce with passion.
Seth cocks his eyebrow.
"You heard her, bro," Richie teases even though it's difficult to speak when she's jerking him off. "She wants you to pull a Magic Mike."
"I'm not dancing," Seth declares, standing up.
Her eyes light up with mischief. "Good. No one wants to see that. I just want to watch you strip."
"How come he doesn't have to do that?" Seth grumbles, pointing at him.
"Oh, he will," Kate taunts, moving closer to him.
Richie's in heaven, every part of him soaring with ecstasy. He closes his eyes, groaning while she traces the outer shell of his left ear. Fuck, she's amazing. And hot. And so fucking good at making him come undone.
And then, suddenly, the door bursts open. One second he's on the bed with Kate next to him, his brother standing in front of him, and he's really, truly happy; the next he's thrown to the floor, the room in complete chaos, and Santanico has her hands wrapped around his throat with a deadly smile marking her face.
"I have missed you, lover."
A/N - Hey guys, I hope you have all been well. I just wanted to give you a heads up that I will not be updating as quickly as I did in the past. One of my new year's resolution is to finish and edit my original novel so I can start the query process to get an agent, which means less time for other writing projects. I am still planning to continue this fic but I will be doing it less regularly. Hope you understand! Happy New Year!
