Business and Pleasure (Book 1)

Chapter 23- Dante

The sounds of moans woke me up. I looked over at the time,  3:11. Fuck who the hell was fucking this early. The sound was coming from Parker's side of the wall. I couldn't be him and Andy. Andy always fucked in his room. I sat up and stood curious to see what was happening. When I walked into the hall I saw that Parker's door was cracked and the sounds were coming from there. I walked over and pushed the door open just a crack.

From my angle I could see Parker and Kennedy in the bed. Parker was holding Kennedy on his body and he rammed into her. I'd never seen Parker fucking. Which seems crazy since we've been together so long but we were always fucking him. The sight was hot and frankly we had been missing out. There was something about it that was giving me pause. The desperate nature of his thrusts and the way she was holding on to him for dear life. Like the had been separated for years and were finally reunited.

Something squeezed at my chest I don't know what it was. Lust, desire, love...envy...jealousy. That startled me to the point where I had to walk away. Was I jealous of Kennedy? No it wasn't that. I was envious at the desperation Parker had for her. He had never shown that to me or Andy.

But can I blame him? We never showed that to him either. Our whole relationship was a giant fuckup. I loved Andy and Parker but I'm sure as shit they didn't know how much. I walked to the game room and to the bar and poured a drink. We all took the rest of the week off to be with Kennedy so I didn't have to be up early for work. I downed my drink and poured another and downed it and poured another.

"It's not like you to drink yourself to shit in the middle of the night." It was Andy's deep baritone. It always surprised me that, I, being such a big man who would be characterized as a dominate, the voice of someone significantly smaller could unravel me. He knew it but never made me feel bad about it. I looked up at the bare tatted chest then up to his face. 

"Got woken up." I told him downing the third drink. He chuckled.

"I should have know those two wouldn't wait a week." He said walking over to me. He took the bottle out of my hand as I was about to pour another. "What's got you downing Jameson like water? That's not like you." I shook my head and tried to grab the bottle back. He pulled it back out of reach. "Go sit down. Fuck man." I reluctantly went to sit down on the L shaped couch. He turned on the coffee pot and came to sit down across from me.

"Talk to me Dante." He pushed. I leaned forward and put my face in my hands.

"I don't know why I feel like Parker and Kennedy are going to leave us eventually" I said slowly. I sat back and looked at him. His eyebrows shot up. "They are so much closer than he is to us."

"I can see how you can feel that way. But just because you found them fucking?" He asked.

"That wasn't fucking. We fuck...that was something else entirely." I said, starting to feel the buzz from the whiskey.

"And, we are all going to come into our feelings differently and at different paces. Parker falls hard and fast. It that doesn't me he doesn't love us. If nothing else it's a good thing he has someone who so willing accepts his love and affection because we've kind of failed him on that front." He said he scooted closer to me and took my hand. "We have built a life together the past 10 years and we have found a woman who wants all of us even after all the shit we pulled." I sighed and looked at our intertwined hands.

"Y'all are the only family I have. If I lost you guys I would lose myself." I said quietly. He smiled gently.

"D, you're my everything. You won't lose me. And you know Parker loves you more than he could ever put into words. You have nothing to worry about." He said he leaned in and kissed me. He pulled back and smiled again. "Come on, fuck this coffee you need to sleep this buzz off lightweight." He stood and pulled me up to my feet. He led me out of the game room and to his room. I laid down on his bed and felt him next to me.

Andy wasn't the comforting type. He was the man who took charge and protected. So when he tucked me into his side I knew for a fact that he was trying to work on how he showed affection. We were silent as we laid in the dark, neither of us sleeping.

"Kennedy going into the hospital scared Parker." Andy said softly his hand was in my hair lightly massaging. He knew this calmed me.

"It scared all of us." I said softly, I could feel myself start to drift off. I could feel the rumble of Andy's voice through his chest but I couldn't make out the words as I slipped into sleep.

The next morning I woke with a weight on my chest. I reached up to feel what it was and my hands met a mop of curly hair. I opened my eyes and looked down to see Kennedy sprawled on top of me.

When did she climb into my bed?

I looked around and realized I was in Andy's bed. But Andy was not in bed either. It was just Kennedy and I. Her soft body felt good against mine and I shifted her and rolled so that we were chest to chest on our sides. She made a soft snorting noise and slowly opened her eyes. Her beautiful green eyes looked almost grey in her sleep filled gaze.

"Good morning." I said softly, she smiled softly at me.

"Good Morning D." She said wrapping her arms around my neck. I could feel she was naked against my body which I also realized I was also naked and I immediately began to grow hard. Shit.

"Um when did you climb into bed with me?" I asked trying not to think about fucking her. She rolled her hips slightly and I knew she could feel me.

"Andy and Parker got a call from the police station around 7am. They couldn't wake you up so they told me to sleep in here so when you woke up I could tell you that they left and would fill you in." She said, her legs parted and my cock nestled between her legs.

"Baby girl," I murmured as she rolled her pussy against my length. "Aren't you sore?" I managed to get out my breathing labored. She shook her head her eyes meeting mine then flickering to my lips.

"I remember New York." She said softly. "I thought I was dreaming it but the feel of your body is so familiar." She ran her hands down my neck and over my shoulder and down my body. "You were my first." Those words unraveled me and I greedily took her mouth in a kiss. She let me and she rolled slightly so that I was forced to roll back on my back as she straddled me. She broke the kiss and peered down at me.

"I don't know how it's possible to be head over heels with three people at the same time but I am." She said softly rubbing the tip of her nose against mine. I pulled her down hips down so that she could feel me pressing against her.

"I've been in a polygamous relationship for 10 years and I can't explain it." I said softly, my heart beating out of my chest. She smiled softly glancing at my lips.

"I've never been in love before." She said quietly. At that point my heart stopped beating. Love? For who? Some of the tension I felt last night began to creep back in.

"You feel love? For who?" I sat us up some so that my back was against the headboard.

"I don't know if it's love, but I like you guys a lot. I'm sure this is not a silly crush or lust. When I'm not around any of you I feel empty and alone. I like being with each of you individually but together is like a missing puzzle piece falling into place. I couldn't even sleep last night because I was alone and we were in the same house."

I peered into her eyes, stunned by her words. My heart slowly beginning to beat again.

A/N- turns out this chapter was long enough. I don't know how I feel about emotional Dante...
I want him to have a spicy moment with Andy...still thinking about it.

XOXO
