Better him than me, I thought as she locked the door behind me. It was time to pick Ember up from work.
Ember
Social Security checks had come out that day and with the holiday weekend coming up, it was a busy day at the store. The lines seemed like they would never end. But I was grateful for the distraction. It kept me from thinking too much. For the first time in my life, I was in love and it scared the hell out of me.
Ever since I met Logan and Aiden, I'd been waiting for the other shoe to drop. They are crazy good looking, have a nice home and good jobs. And don't even get me started on how amazing they are in bed. But what did they see in me?
It's not like I'm ugly, but these guys could have any woman they wanted. If it were not for them, I would be homeless and it wasn't like my gig as a cashier was contributing a lot to the household budget.
All my life, I've had to look out for myself. When your mother is a narcissistic drug addict, you learn real quick how to take care of yourself. The men I had dated were no better. To them, I had been nothing more than a booty call or an ATM.
It was different with Aiden and Logan; they put my needs first. But they were so in love with each other. How did they have anything left for me? Where did I fit in their lives? I wanted to believe there was a way we could make it work, but couldn’t shake the sense that everything was about to come tumbling down. That I would find myself alone and unloved again.
It was times like these that I wished my mother wasn’t such a piece of shit, or that I wasn’t such a loner. It would have been nice to have another woman I could talk to about what I was feeling.
I looked at the time and saw that my shift was almost over. After turning off the light above my register, I let the person at the end of the line know they would be my last customer. I was surprised to see that it was Jenny. The woman who had first suggested there was more to my relationship with Aiden and Logan than I was ready to admit.
She had been right about that, and I wondered what other wisdom she might be able to offer. When she reached the register, I put the Lane Closed sign behind her purchases. I mentioned I had not seen her since that night at Stoney's. She said that she and the Chief rarely attended the matches, but he had insisted on going to that one. “I don't know why they hate the water department so much. If it wasn't for them, our guys won't be able to do their job.” I told her she had a point and that men could be silly sometimes.
“Speaking of silly men, how are you and your two guys making out?”
“I wish I knew.”
“What is it, dear? What's bothering you?”
“Logan and Aiden are so in love with each other, I don't see how there can be room in their lives for me.” I stopped ringing up her order and looked her in the eyes. “Tell me the truth, Jenny. Do you really believe it's possible to love two people equally?”
“Are you in love with both of them?” she asked. I told her I thought so, but that love was not an emotion I had a lot of experience with.
“Then why, if you love both of them, is it so hard for you to accept the same could be true about them? You're absolutely right. There is a special connection between them, but that doesn't mean they can't feel equally strong emotions for you.” It sounded so simple. I wondered how I had not thought of it before.
“I haven't had the best luck with men in the past. And let’s face it, this isn’t exactly a conventional relationship.” “
“Stop worrying and be happy. Logan and Aiden are two of the most loyal men you will ever find. They don’t play games and would not be involved with you if they didn’t believe it was for the long haul.” I had finished bagging her groceries. “Call me if you ever need a girls’ night out. I hope our talk made you feel better. “
“It actually helped a lot.” I handed her the receipt and change and wished her a good evening. Then I clocked out and went out front to wait. I saw Danny in the parking lot. At least I was pretty sure it was him. His head was buried under the hood of his wreck of a car, like he was trying to fix something. I wondered if he had moved to this part of town since I had seen him a lot lately. Logan pulled up in the Mustang and I hopped in the car, wrapped my arms around him, gave him a long kiss and told him I loved him.
As soon as we got home, we changed into shorts and t-shirts. On the front porch I brought my knees to my chest, getting limber. My eyes never left Logan's muscular body as he went through his own stretching routine. Once we were ready, we took off jogging towards Jones Park. We ran side-by-side chit chatting about our days.
When he told me he had stopped for lunch at the Riverdell Diner. I gave him shit and asked if he was hoping to meet up with Denise for a little afternoon delight. Aiden and I had been giving him shit ever since the note had appeared in our mailbox. Normally he would just laugh it off, for the good natured teasing that it was, but today he got all serious and looked me in the face. “You have nothing to worry about, Ember. I love you and Aiden and would do nothing that would tear us apart.”
I felt a lump in my throat and knew I would cry if I tried to say anything. Fortunately, we had just entered the park. Logan picked up the pace, making conversation more difficult. It was a beautiful early July day. The ball fields were in full use. Young kids played on the swings while the older ones sat on picnic tables staring at their phones.
By the time we reached the parking lots at the back of the park, both of us were sweating heavily. At the small pond, Logan waved at the little kids fishing for bluegills. We turned just past a sign advertising a Fourth of July concert at the amphitheater and exited the park. I slowed my pace and just as we turned onto our street, Logan came up next to me. “Race you to the house,” he said.
“What does the winner get?” I asked.
“To be on top,” he said and took off running. I am much faster than he is, and could have easily caught him. Instead, I trailed behind. Far from submissive, I enjoy being on top as much as any woman does. But at the moment, I wanted to have his muscular body atop mine. To surrender control and let him know I was his.
As soon as the door closed, Logan stripped me of my running gear before removing his own clothes. Then lifted my hands above my head and pinned me to the wall of the small foyer. I was powerless to stop him, nor did I want to.
His kisses were rough and hard, just like his cock. I wanted to reach down and touch it, but his hand was still locked around my wrists. My needs already at ten, I pressed my back against the wall and ground my hips against his. He continued his assault on my mouth, but eventually released my hands to grip my ass and pull me closer to his sweat slicked body.
My arms around his neck, I lifted my legs and wrapped them around his back. Logan quickly found my entrance. I gave out a gasp as his girth opened me wide. Then everything else faded. Any doubts I may have had vanished, replaced by sheer bliss. I wrapped my arms around him tighter. In his ear, I whispered, “That’s it, just like that.”
I gasped at every thrust. Each powerful stroke driving me closer. My toes, already curling, I moaned and gripped him tighter. "I want your cock in me forever.”
Sounds of our shared passion, so loud I was sure the neighbors would hear, further heightened my arousal. Heat was radiating from my core, threatening to set my body ablaze.
