Double Dare(214)

“Hi again fellas,” she simpered, cocking out one hip saucily. “Ready to order?”

And it was like I wasn’t even there, the woman didn’t acknowledge me at all. Seriously, today was fucking frustrating. I just wanted to get to the meat of the conversation but everything was getting in the way, one hurdle after another, and my ears began to steam. But fortunately the men could sense my irritation and deferred to me.

“The lady goes first,” rumbled Jason, eyebrow quirked.

And I turned to the older lady with a bright look on my face.

“Grilled cheese with a side of fries please,” I said, overly friendly, even a little plasticky.

Both men nodded.

“Grilled cheese has a lot of calories,” grunted Brent approvingly. “Make mine a grilled cheese too, but throw in an all-beef patty and some extra bacon.”

And Jason was just as hungry.

“Yeah, I’ll take a grilled as well,” he added. “With meat and cheese but no bread, animal-style.”

And I just shook my head. Really, we were all getting grilled cheese sandwiches, like one happy family?

Jason smirked at me, throwing in a kicker.

“Plus extra fries for everyone,” he announced to the waitress, “Yeah, we’ll need some fries.”

And I sighed as the waitress nodded and sauntered away, hips swinging.

“Really?” I asked dryly. “Extra fries? You know they serve them by the bucket here.”

But Jason nodded emphatically.

“That’s right, and I want to see you eat every one,” he replied, “every single one, finger lickin’ good so that your sweet body puts on some serious poundage.”

I rolled my eyes. Back to the weight thing again? It was so hard to have a conversation with these guys, we kept getting derailed by talk of my curves. But I wasn’t going to give up, so I ignored his comment and fixed them both with a stare.

“Like I said,” I began, “we’re here to discuss sharing. I want to work out something with both of you guys, find a way to compromise.”

The word “compromise” made both their brows draw, like it was the nastiest word ever. But to their credit, neither man said anything. Instead Brent said neutrally, “And what did you have in mind?”

That gave me momentary pause because truthfully, I didn’t have a solution. Everything had happened so fast, so quickly, my pussy and ass cherries lost within twenty-four hours of each other, that there had been no time to digest the situation yet. So I fumbled, trying to cover, making something up on the fly that sounded okay.

“Um, how about Monday, Wednesday, Fridays I’m with Brent, and Tuesdays and Thursdays I’m with Jason?” I blurted, looking between both men. That wasn’t too bad, was it? Sounded reasonable to me.

But neither man looked happy.

“What the fuck, I only get two days when he gets three? What the fuck?” growled Jason, glaring at Brent again.

And Brent was just as dissatisfied.

“Three days a week isn’t enough honey,” he stated. “I need you more than that. What am I supposed to do otherwise? Go to strip clubs? Hire someone? I need you more, no way is that enough.”

I colored, nonplussed. Shit, I hadn’t thought the two men would be so demanding, that they’d need me the way they were making out. I hemmed and hawed a bit, my mind racing furiously.

“Well,” I said slowly, biting my lip. “At least we agree we want to share, right? That’s the important thing, that we’re in this together.”

And both men were silent for a moment.

“I guess so,” grunted Jason. “I mean, what choice do I have?”

Brent shot Jason a hard look, but pretty much felt the same way, he just tried to phrase it nicer.

“What he’s saying, honey, is that we both want you. We’re two domineering, arrogant males who are used to getting our way, but we’re in a bind here because the woman we both love can’t choose between us, she’s not gonna pick one over the other. Isn’t that right Katy? We can’t get you to choose one of us, make a selection?”

And my heart beat rapidly. Because I’d heard the word “love” in there and although it’d been over in half a second, the syllable rang in my ears, vibrated through body, my breathing suddenly shallow, head light.

“I don’t want to seem selfish,” I began, trying to calm my racing heart. “I mean, I’m not totally sure what’s going on, we just started this yesterday and it’s been like a runaway train, losing my pussy and ass cherries within twenty four hours,” I said blushing, glancing between the two men. But both men nodded, encouraging me to go on.
