“Try, Mom. You deserve more than just this.”
“When did you become so strong?” Her words took me by surprise, and I smiled for a moment.
I’m not that strong. I just try to stay positive.” I told her as she took a deep breath.
“Brenda asked me to lunch next weekend. Maybe I should just go,” she said as I nodded. I made a mental note to ask the guys if we could take her to dinner some night before I left, hugging her tightly. There was a time when we were closer before her and Dad started having issues, and I could still see the beautiful fifty-year-old woman that she was.
I headed on to the house and was met by Braden at the door, hugging him tightly. “How’s your mom?” He asked as he took my hand and led me into the large brick home. It was beautiful and close to the water, and we were all fond of spending time out here.
“I think she’ll be okay. I told her to let go of stuff and try to move on.” He nodded as he looked at me. They both knew about my parents and all that was happening with the situation, being there for me when I needed them. They knew all of me and loved me all the same. I was learning about them and their sometimes-troubled life with their greedy and demanding father, the past that led them to their reputation and all the women, seeking approval from them. I understood it now.
I understood that they were wealthy, but I wasn’t with them for that. I loved them for who they were inside. They seemed happy with that and in that case, so was I.
“I’d like to take her to dinner out here sometime. All of us. I know that it will shock her, but maybe she’ll accept it. She’s such a great woman.” I still spoke to my dad, but I told him I was disappointed in his cheating on Mom with one of the assistants at his dental practice. I told him not to be such an ass and to take care of mom like she did for him for so long.
“Hopefully, he’ll step forward and take care of her. Hell, if he doesn’t, we will.” I smiled at Braden as Declan walked into the room.
“What will we do?”
“Help her mom,” Braden said as I walked over to kiss his brother.
“She’s not okay?” Declan asked as he looked at me.
“She’s okay in the apartment. I just know that she makes all the bills herself when he’s a fucking dentist. He could help her a bit and not even miss it.” I shook my head. “He lives near the apartment in the city, and she’s in that little complex. She should at least be in a house near her friends where she could do her gardening. He could swing that and let her relax a little.” My father was a stubborn ass, living the high life in Manhattan with his girlfriend that was just a few years older than I was. He forgot about what he left behind somewhere along the way.
“That sounds nice,” Declan said as he took his hand and kissed my hair. “Is that what you want?”
“Not all of the time. I was a school nerd, remember?” I said as I looked at them. This was the part of us that most people didn’t understand. We had a relationship that was about helping each other, nut just sex. That was just a bonus, and I’d learned things about myself along the way. It is just what everyone wanted to focus on. “This place is perfect to wind down in, but I love the city as well.”
“Agreed,” Braden said as I laughed.
We ended up making dinner together and eating on the couch as we watched a movie. We planned on going to lunch the following day, but tonight I just wanted to be with them. I pulled them to the bedroom when the movie ended, stripping Braden first as I pushed him back to take him in my mouth. He was hard and filled me the way that I loved as he gripped my hair and rocked with me. Declan was sitting and watching us, stroking his cock as Braden came in my throat. I loved that they both wanted to watch me and it was Declan that pushed me onto my back before he took me hard and deep. It was Declan whose name I cried this time, though it could be Braden’s tomorrow. I never knew but I both loved them so much, and it didn’t matter.
We met up with some of their friends at a restaurant the following day. I smiled as they introduced me and shook hands but I picked up on the way that one of the men was looking at me. It was a leering kind of look, and I moved closer to Declan as he wrapped an arm around me. Braden glanced at me and held my hand as he stared at me. “What is it?”
“You’re both with this one?” The guy asked as my face paled. “How is she?”
“Shut the fuck up, Jarrod. She’s a great girl,” Braden told him as I felt the weight of the words hit me.
“Is she available?” Jarrod asked, his brown eyes darkening before a fist hit him in the jaw, sending him to the floor.
