Rock the Viper (14 page)

I don't know what to say to him and I recoil at being called a bitch. I look over at Monica who is sitting wide mouthed looking back at me. I lower my head, I can't look at Jacob.

“Hang on a minute Jacob. Don't talk to her like that.” Saul moves closer to me.

“Why? You fucking her too? I guess that’s why you're staying here, right Peppa? As you're fucking Noah and whoever else. Lads, I wouldn't bother she isn't anything special.”

I nearly choke with anger. I lift my head to look at him. I notice Monica move. She walks right up to Jacob, “You bastard.” And raises her hand to hit him but he grabs it before she can strike him.

Cruz is quickly in Jacobs face, “I suggest you let her hand go.”

Jacob looks at Cruz and shrugs his shoulder and let's Monica's hand go and Cruz walks her to the other side of the room.

He looks at me like I repulse him. “I spent hours this afternoon being interviewed by the Police because of you. Luckily, I had an alibi for that afternoon. You honestly think I would do something like that?”

I felt a body brush up against me on one side and then again on the other and look up into the faces of Noah and Juan.

Jacob looks from Juan and then to Noah. “So you decided to show yourself Noah?”

Noah speaks next, “What are you doing here Jacob?”

“Well, Noah let’s see, your girlfriend here, I am assuming that is what she is now? Gave the police my name, so I'm pissed off big time that I’ve had to be questioned about a burglary I didn't commit.”

I gather the strength from somewhere to answer Jacob, “I had no choice Jacob. They asked me if I had any ex-boyfriends and I gave them your name what else was I supposed to do.”

“You bitch, you could have said that I wouldn't do such a thing! Have you any idea what it felt like sitting there? And now I have to bring someone else into it as she is my alibi.”

Oh I’m pissed now and say, “Yes, Jacob, I know exactly how it feels as I was there myself for three hours being made to feel it was all my fault.” He shrugs his shoulders and huffs.

Noah steps forward to go for Jacob, “You disgust me.” I manage to pull Noah back and tell him “Don't.”

Jacob spits out mimicking my voice “Yeah. Don't Noah, or I might blacken your other eye.”

I snap my head back to look at Jacob. “You did that to him? Why?”

“It doesn't matter why, after this he is welcome to you. All you need to know is my alibi will stick. And Noah, enjoy my sloppy seconds. I will see you at work on Monday.” And he walks out of the room and out of the house.

Juan is the first to take me into his arms, it's a good thing he does, as I think I was going to faint. He brushes my hair away and cups my face with his hand. “Are you ok?”

I look up at him “I don't know how I feel. This past week has be the weirdest of my life. But I have never been hated by anyone as much Jacob hates me right now and I feel sad about that.” I turn to look at Noah. “Why didn't you tell me that he gave you a black eye?”

Noah comes up behind me and I shrug away from his touch and I hear him let out a sigh. “Please Peppa, will you sit down with me so we can talk, Juan too if he wants to?”

I look up at Juan and he mouths yes to me and I move out of his arms and make my way to the bar. “Ok but I need a drink first to steady my nerves.”

Cruz speaks up and I realize I had forgotten that Monica was there. “Monica, would you like to come with me and Saul downstairs and watch us practise?”

She turns to me and says, “Is that ok Peppa? I won't go if you need me.”

“Go. I'm safe. And Monica, I am sorry about tonight but I hope you have fun with those two.” And I wink at her.

She comes over and hugs me, “Thank you, I will try and behave.” And she winks at me.

As the three of them walk away Juan shouts out, “Cruz behave yourself.”

And he shouts back, “What? That line worked for you last night I'm checking to see if it works or not.” I giggle at that.

I make my way over to the sofa and sit, Juan sits on the floor between my legs facing away from me and I find my hand automatically going to his hair and I run my fingers through it. Noah sits next to me. “Today didn't go as planned.”

“No, I didn't expect to come back and find you in the arms of another woman or find out Jacob gave you that black eye. You should have told me Noah.”

“Peppa, I thought we dealt with what happened. I know you wanted to talk more but I explained about Fay and when we had sex.”

I put my hand up, “That’s your problem Noah, sex doesn't solve everything and I do understand the Fay situation but you hurt me.”

“I know and I'm sorry.”

“Can I ask a question Peppa?” This comes from Juan who still has his back to me.

“Of course.”

“When you had sex with Noah this afternoon had you forgiven him for the Fay thing? And, I would have liked to have been there, by the way, with you both. I'm sorry I missed out on that.” 

I ponder on that for a moment and then a wave of guilt washes over me that we left Juan out. But I push it back down. “I guess so, but it's hard to let go of the feelings that I felt and still feel that another woman was in his arms.”

Noah takes my hand and kisses it which makes me look at him. “When I told you that I love you I meant it Peppa, I promise to never let myself be in that situation again. I hate that I have caused you pain and I will do everything in my power to make it right.”

I let out a slow breath, “You can't promise me that Noah. Women throw themselves at you all the time, and neither can you Juan. You have groupies who are going to do anything to get their hands on you.” I lower my head, “Maybe its best we walk away from this now, I can't handle the thought of my heart being broken twice.”

Juan turns himself to face me and leans in closer, his hand goes to my chin and he lifts my head so I'm eye to eye with him. “Is that what you want to do Peppa? To walk away? Noah has told you he loves you and now I'm telling you, I love you Peppa, and I for one refuse to walk away from this triangle. No, I can't promise you that women won't want me and try and get into my pants. But I can promise you this, you will be the only woman who I share my body and bed with and I know Noah feels the same way. The question is do you love us enough to commit to us both?”

A tear rolls down my cheek and Juan wipes it away and lets go of my face.

I quickly grab his hand and hold it, “This has all happened so quickly, we hardly know each other, yet you are telling me you love me, and the scariest part is, I love you both too.” I lower my head to try and hide the tears that are threatening to spill and say,” Please don't hurt me.”

I feel four arms surround me and I’m pulled into two hard bodies and they both hold me and let me cry.

Noah whispers in my ear, “I can't... no, I won't walk away from this Peppa. You are the only woman I want and need.”

He places a kiss to my neck and lets me go and Juan moves away from me too and stands. He puts out a hand for me and the other for Noah and we both take it and he pulls us both up into his arms and I giggle as I stumble right into him. He looks down at me and smiles. “We all need to spend time together as a threesome so we can find out each other’s likes and dislikes. Are you up for that?” I smile back at him and nod a yes.

He turns to Noah and asks the same question and gets the same answer. And then he leans in and kisses him. I see the shock go across Noah's face, but it quickly disappears and a little smile appears instead.

My eyes look from one to the other and I blurt out, “Ok that was hot!”

Juan laughs and holds me tighter. He bends his head and says, “Give me those lips and I will show you hot.”

Noah brings me back down to earth when he says, “Err I'm still in the room you know and would like to get on in the action.”

Juan ends the kiss and laughs, “She is all yours.”

I walk into Noah’s waiting arms and lose myself in his passionate kiss. When the kiss ends and I stand in front of them both I get serious again for a moment. “I need to say this as it's another thing I'm worried about.” I take a deep breath, “Please don't ever make me choose between you both as I won't do it, I can't.”

Juan pulls me back into his arms and brings Noah in to. He looks at Noah then me, “We are a threesome, we will stay a threesome, jealously has no place in this relationship. I'm not saying we won't all feel jealous at some point in the relationship, as it is bound to happen, and that’s where communication comes in. I will never ask that of you both.”

I smile at him and then at Noah. “Ok, I know we will learn as we go along and I feel better now we have talked. The connection between is very intense and can be overwhelming at times but I’m ready to try.”

Noah kisses my forehead and says, “Thank fuck for that.”

Juan laughs and then says, “Right, my woman and man, I think we all could do with a drink and I think it might be a good idea to rescue Monica from Cruz's clutches.”

I laugh. “I don't think she will want to be rescued, but it will be fun to watch them flirt. Come on we better go and see what they are up to.” I start to make my way to the basement and my men follow me.

Chapter 15  (NOAH)

The next morning I struggle to get my thoughts in order, I need to focus on some work but all I can think about is last night and how Peppa felt and tasted. My dick is constantly hard and my dreams are filled with the pleasures of not only her but Juan too.

I left a note for Peppa in the kitchen telling her where to find me if she needed me, I liked the thought of being needed. I also liked the feeling of excitement at leaving her little notes. I’m shocked at the change in me, I have never had strong feelings for any woman, not even enough to say I love you. I was a wham bam thank you ma’am type of man, but now, all I want is a future with one woman and one man in it.

I hear someone walking around and smile, hoping its Peppa. I wonder if she has read my note and if she will come and say good morning. I focus on the file in front of me but my eyes keep glancing to the door, I shake my head to clear it of the thoughts of Peppa and try and get some work done. About an hour later I head to the kitchen to make myself a drink and Lara is sitting there eating a lettuce leaf.

“Hi Sis, how are things?”

She looks at me with sad puppy dog eyes. “I'm hungover, I'm on my period and men are all bastard's how do you think I feel?”

I scrunch my face up in disgust, “Wow, too much information, which one is it this time?”

Lara gets up and leaves her plate on the counter and walks up to me, “Doesn't matter, he's not worth my time right now.” She kisses me on the cheek and walks away.

I shout after her, “Lara have you seen Peppa this morning?”

A short snap answer of “No” comes back to me. I decide to make Peppa a cup of tea and take it to her in bed, and hope she might invite me to join her.

I knock on her door but there's no answer so I open it to find her bed empty and I shout out her name encase she is in the bathroom but still nothing. I head back to kitchen leave the tea on the side and go and search the house.

I walk back into the lounge. I have checked every room, shouted her name ten or more times, but still no answer. “Where the hell is she?” I say out loud to myself and jump when Lara says, “Who you talking to?”

I turn to look at her as I didn't hear her enter the room. “Peppa of course, she isn't in the house, there is no note to say she has gone anywhere. I'm worried, she shouldn't be out on her own.”

Lara frowns, “Why are you so concerned about her all of a sudden? She is adult Noah and can look after herself. No, please tell me you’re not...OMG are you fucking her?”

I wave her off, my only thoughts are about where the hell Peppa is. I head back to my office and hear Lara shout after me but I ignore her. I sit at my chair pick up my phone and dial Peppa's mobile but it goes straight to answer phone.

I try a few times and curse into the air when she doesn't answer. My phone rings, I don't check the number I just answer it, hoping it will be her. It turns out to be work, a venue for the Viper tour has had to pull out because of a burst pipe. The owner was desperate to book Viper, so much so that he had the owner of another venue on another line and we had a three way conversation trying to get it sorted out. I was stuck on the phone for another hour securing a place for the band to play.

As soon as I finish the call, I try Peppa again. Still no answer, but I leave a message this time saying, “Peppa where the hell are you? I'm not happy. You should have told me you were heading out. Please phone me when you get this message.” I slap my phone down hard on the desk and start pacing the room waiting for her to phone me back.

A knock comes to the door and I walk over to answer it, it's Lara, “Hello brother dearest, I thought you would want to know your booty call is here, she is waiting in the lounge, I'm heading out so I will see you later.” And she gives me one of her finger waves and walks off.

I watch as she walks away and a frown appears on my face as the thought,
my booty call
goes through my mind. I head for the lounge and as soon as I walk in I'm attacked by big blonde hair.

The woman pulls away from me and starts placing little kisses all over my face. That's when I realize that's it Fay and my heart stops dead in my chest and my body stiffens. All I can think is “Shit, shit.” It's been about six months since I last saw Fay as she travels all over the world as an Air Stewardess. She's a good friend and we have the added bonus of getting together and rutting like animals when she is home. I had totally forgotten about her and that I had given her a key.

She places another kiss on my lips and says into them, “Noah take me to bed, I've missed you so much, I swear only you know how to please me. Noah, I'm horny as hell and I need you inside of me.”

Lara rushes past us and says, “Have fun, don’t do anything I would.”

My mind is screaming noooooooo I don't want this, but I can't get the words out as she kisses me again and sticks her tongue in my mouth. I hear a strangled sound and I look over to see Peppa standing there looking at me like her world has fallen apart.
