The Irresistible Bundle (99 page)

My eyes plead with V for some help. Didn't he already explain the threesomes to her? That doesn't mean we have some sort of relationship.

"Uh-uh" she admonishes. "Look at me and answer the question. Valentino and I have agreed to be open and honest about everything."

My mouth tightens not wanting to immediately reply. "Fair enough Troublemaker but we expect you to elaborate on your relationship or whatever transpired between you and Blondie in the club." I deflect. V seems clueless about the history between her and the ex.

"I'm not sure what all Valentino has told you" I stammer. My eyes dart to V hoping he'll guide me in the right direction.

"I want to hear it from you. It's okay if I've already heard parts... Nope, right there... that won't happen while we talk." She points between us.

"All right" I sigh in defeat. I speak in generalities about how V and I met in college and became best friends. She motions for me to continue so I regale her with stories about us starting the clubs. Her face softens as I tell her about V entrusting me with managing the business and our rental properties. Everything we've done, we've done together.

If Carina is going to be around, with or without me in the bedroom picture, then she's going to quickly learn about my lifestyle choices. I don't want to put V in that kind of position to have to explain things. I own my bisexuality. V doesn't entirely consider himself bisexual since he's technically never had sex with a guy. Whatever... to each their own.

"I've always been very open about my sexuality. I love men just as much as I love women. I've tried relationships at both ends." I go on to explain my failed endeavor with simultaneously dating a guy and girl at the same time. Carina although young is very perceptive. She quickly picks up on the fact that neither partner had known about the other.

"So where does Valentino come into play with this? Obviously you two have been in your fair share of threesomes. Is it fair to say that you two have been just as intimate with each other?" She asks. Hot damn this girl impresses me. Valentino shifts in his spot trying to get my attention. That right there pisses me the fuck off. Fire licks through my veins. V shouldn't have brought me here if he didn't want me to talk. I narrow my eyes at the vixen who's meddling in stuff that shouldn't pertain to her. I didn't ask to join them. I wasn't following them around like a lost puppy.

"Do you mean have we fucked each other and have I sucked his cock?" I hotly retort. I'm dying to see if Valentino jumps in and says anything. Carina's reaction unbalances me. I'd been ready for a fight with V. I hadn't expected her eyes to flare with lust and for her to squeeze her thighs together. Fucking-A.

"Yes, we've both topped. We've both sucked. We've both been inside of a woman at the same time rubbing our dicks against each other from opposite holes." Okay so only part of that was true but I'm testing both of them now. V's completely engaged with our back and forth. His eyes momentarily widen at my statement but he makes no move to correct me. My skin tingles as her body screams to be fucked. I flick my eyes to V's lap and love the raging hard-on he's sporting. It doesn't matter if nothing more comes from this night; we've just moved leaps and bounds from the last year. His silent acquiesce is all I need to know that he'd be willing to further test the boundaries of our relationship. Hell to the fuck yes.

"Do you love him?" Her words are like a bucket of ice water. Every time she tips me over I manage to right myself only to get knocked down again.

"He's my best friend and my boss," Safe answer.

"That's not what I asked" she challenges. Her narrowed eyes let me know she already knows the answer. Have I been that obvious? Have I let my guard down in public so easily? Even V doesn't know the extent of my feelings... He has no idea how deep my affections run for him. Love might not even be a strong enough word. I admire the man. I damn near worship him. I settle for whatever he gives me because I know no one else on this forsaken planet compares.

"Yes" I breathe. I can't look at him. I don't want to see his reaction. My brain screams to stop but my mouth keeps moving. "But I've never interfered in his relationships. If Valentino invites me, I come willingly. If he doesn't I keep my distance."

"But you're the one constant in his life."

My eyes snap up to her. For all my pining and yearning she's right. No matter how many partners have entered and exited our lives we're the one constant for each other.

"Yes" V softly states. He looks just as shocked as I feel. I slouch into the chair as Carina turns her attention to him. I hold my breath listening as she asks him what he wants from this. Blood rushes to my ears wanting and not wanting to hear his answer. I flinch as he admits he wants her. That's no secret. Why act surprised? Just because she asked about my feelings doesn't mean he feels the same.

"But is that fair to Marco" she asks. I almost shoot out of my seat. This isn't about me. This is about them. It doesn't matter how I feel.

"What do you mean?" He asks over my protests.

"I mean do you feel the same way Marco does?" Carina clarifies. I open my mouth to interject. I want to save Valentino from answering. I've never put him on the spot like that. Even if it was a conversation that needed to be had it shouldn't be with an outsider intervening. I helplessly sit there as she continues to grill him. Things are sounding worse than better. This little pow-wow is turning into a fucking disaster. I listen in disbelief about her clarifying what exclusivity means and how that applies with me in the picture. I try to interject but she's on a roll.... Because the next words out of her mouth have my heart dropping to my stomach.

"I said that we need to be clear. If you feel something for Marco, whatever it may be... Isn't it fair to explore that relationship? I'd be willing to work this out between the three of us; as long as we're safe about everything... We need to establish clear expectations - I don't want to deal with any petty bullshit."

My heart somersaults out of my stomach and bounces around in my chest. "Wait" I think I shouted. "Are you saying that you want Valentino to date both of us?"

"I'm saying that this is a three-way conversation." She amends. "We're all adults here. I think neither of you have been able to find a deep and satisfying relationship because you've denied to embrace what you truly want."

Then she says the very thing I've dreamt about for the last five years. God bless her soul. Carina voices the very thing I didn't have the balls to confess.

"I think you and Marco need to find a woman who is willing to share you both. Willing to step aside when you need your time together; willing to step in when needed and wanted; just open and willing..."

"Let me get this straight" I slowly reply. "You're saying that Valentino and I have been going about this all wrong. We need something more than the occasional threesomes we participate in. We should be in a relationship, together, with a woman who can and will love and be with us both." My voice cracks a little towards the end but I need to say those words out loud. My heart rests outside my ribs completely exposed to them. Valentino has the power to obliterate the delicate organ with a few chosen words.

"And are you graciously offering to be that woman?" Valentino quietly asks. I try to swallow but my entire body freezes as both Valentino and I look to Carina. I don't know her as well as V does but if he thinks she fits then by all means I'm glad to let her in. Last week I saw her more as my nemesis but tonight she's actually my champion.

"I don't know if I would be the best fit in this scenario" Carina confesses. "You two should think back to the women you've shared and determine if there is someone better suited. You don't have to approach all future relationships with this mindset but it may help. You may tire of each other once you try your hand at an actual relationship and agree to remain as you are now: business partners, best friends, and the male-male part of your threesomes..."

I wanted to jump from the rooftops and sing my praises to the Spanish Beauty. Had she been quietly watching our interactions since we'd met and figured things out on her own? I don't think V was planting any seeds because I'd have known about it. I want to look at V but I'm too chicken-shit to see. Hope floods my chest and threatens to drown me but I'm accepting of this kind of death.

"Let's go to bed" Carina continues nonplussed like she hadn't just dropped another grenade.

"Does that mean we've made a decision" Valentino scoffs.

"No it doesn't... But it may help us determine which path to take... Plus I can't get these dirty pictures out of my mind thanks to Marco." She winks at us and that's all I need. I hop out of my seat equally excited about bedding Carina as I am about seeing if V allows us to further explore each other.

My tongue feels sluggish and thick as Carina and V discuss the results of our blood work. V never goes bareback but apparently he had with Carina and they both own up to being responsible and getting themselves checked out. Little does she know that we do it twice a year anyways thanks to Nicholas and his sex club,
Hedonism
.

That was one friend worth making during college. Most of the schmucks we met came in and out of our lives but Nicholas was probably our closest friend. Although he was Valentino's friend first I like to think of myself as a package-deal. Even our families don't consider one of us without the other.

"Playtime" V growls. He scoops Carina into his arms with me following closely behind. I ignore the pang of whatever it is as Carina laughs with delight. We enter the bedroom looking forward to wherever the night will take us.

V slides Carina down his body and has her upright in seconds. Those two are quite a sight; both with dark hair, dark eyes, and tanned skin. Carina's curves match right with V's hard body. They're an exquisite pair... The thought brings me up short. Where do I fit in this equation? Am I expected to stand by and watch as they go at it and lap up any leftovers after the fact? Will V finally break that invisible barrier he's built between us? Lust and indecision compete for supremacy. I want to leave but I need to stay and see this through.

V asks her one last time if she's sure. The moment she confirms he motions for me to approach. It's always one of the things we do with all new partners; ensure they're onboard then move forward. I don't waste a moment. If I only get this one night I want to make the most of it, just like the song I'd danced to for the girls.

I press my front to Carina's back, loving her soft curves and long silky hair. Her skin screams at me to make some kind of contact so I oblige. My body goes into overdrive the moment my lips touch her neck. Her skin explodes with goose bumps further encouraging me.

V gives the signal and we double-team her; driving her insane with our sensual assault. We have this part in the bag - several years of threesomes have us acting like bedroom pros. Carina has an amazing body. Her luscious curves allow both of us to touch and taste without having to compete for skin and body parts. She's so fucking receptive I'm not sure how long things are going to last.

"What now" V murmurs into her neck. I blink away the surprise. He never allows someone else to dictate in or out of the bedroom. He's told me about his night with Carina and the Indian beauty; there was no stepping back that night. He'd dominated the entire interaction from start to finish. Why was he allowing this now? Is he really that concerned that she won't give things a chance?

"I want you both to strip" she pants. "Slowly"

Easy enough.... V and I move at the same pace taking off our socks, shoes, and shirts. Carina stops us before we get to our pants. The sexual tension nearly suffocates us but I'm okay with this pace. If V doesn't rush this, while involving me every step of the way, then it only means great things between us. I ignore the fluttering of hope and focus on the tide of lust roaring through my body. It's time to fuck. I can revel in the hearts and flowers shit later.

"My turn," Carina whispers getting on her knees. Air hisses out of my lungs while all the blood in my body shoots straight to my dick. My zipper threatens to cut my overeager cock. I press against the painful erection praying they let me stroke myself while she gives him head. I can go a few rounds before my shit quits cooperating.

The moment she wraps her pretty mouth around my shaft I'm fucking lost. Heat from her mouth travels from the base of my shaft to my spine. Just as my balls are about to tighten V pulls her away and tosses her onto the bed. We focus our attention on her ensuring she gets hers first. Impossibly my dick gets harder at the sound of her pleasurable scream. She's amazing to watch as her body tightens, her eyes roll back, and her skin flushes beautifully.

"Damn she tastes good" I absently grunt as I lick my fingers. I can smell her all over me; no wonder V hadn't wanted to share.

"Taste" V offers. He leans over her and full-on kisses me. I stiffen completely taken by surprise. V never initiates this kind of stuff. He always waits to see what I'll do and lets me know if he's good with it or not. Even drunk he wouldn't let me open-mouth kiss him. My brain screams for me to get my shit together. I grab V by the back of the neck and deepen the kiss. He's going to learn what he's been denying himself all these years. I taste Carina between us and it's the fucking icing on the cake.

V's exactly what I've always dreamed of; a little aggressive and completely passionate. Our dicks touch and I can't stop my hand from reaching out and grabbing his rigid member. It jerks in my hands elated at the contact. I know this man's cock like my own. Although he doesn't let me do much with it I know how to make him come fast and hard. I know how to drive him insane with need. I can be and do it all.
