Taming Ember (An Erotica)

Chapter Six

Chapter Six

   I woke up the next morning to hear two male voices yelling at each other and, quite frankly, giving me a headache. I looked around, not recognizing where I was and panicking for a quick second. Oh yeah... I stayed the night with Caine last night, in separate bedrooms of course. I sighed and stood, ready to go tell the two sex gods that they needed to pipe it down so I could go back to bed.

 

   I made my way down stairs and stopped, frozen in place. Caine was practically sitting on Ian’s chest, grabbing him by the front of his shirt, about to punch him. “Guys! What the fuck are you doing?” I yelled, grabbing Caine by his arm and trying to pull him off of Ian. “Caine, baby, come on.”

 

   Caine stood, his face red with anger. Ian on the other hand, just stared at us, confused. “What the hell, Ember? First you come down stairs wearing his t shirt, with no bra on, might I add. And now you’re calling him babe?” Ian accused, making me realize what had come out of my mouth. I blushed and let my head drop.

 

   Caine pushed me behind his body, as if shielding me from view. “Ember, why don’t you go put on a darker shirt?” Caine said, as if demanding I do so. I stepped away from him.

 

   “It’s not like both of you haven’t seem them.” I snapped, feeling slightly irritated. I looked at Ian.

 

   His face cheeks darkened slightly and he looked away. “Can I talk to you alone about that?” I looked at him carefully and sighed.

 

   “I have to go home anyway, so why don’t you just drive me and we will talk.” I said, knowing that blaming him for what happened, would make me a hypocrite. I liked the way my body came to life under his hands. Hell, they came to life under Caine’s hands.

 

   “What?” Caine practically yelled. “You are just going to go with him after what he did to you?”

 

   I turned and looked Caine in the eyes. “Caine, I wanted it that night. I just didn’t realize it until he started... showing me. It wasn’t against my will, okay?” Caine frowned unhappily, but sighed and pulled me to him. “I appreciate your concern, but I am not exclusive with either one of you. So I suggest you just back the hell off.” He didn’t deserve my anger, but I simply had no patience for anyone.

 

   “If you need me, just call. I put my number in your phone last night.” He looked somewhat bewildered, but quickly buried it. I nodded and smiled at him. He looked at Ian and leaned down, claiming my lips with his again. This kiss was one of possession, and he wasn’t doing it for my benefit. He pulled away after a moment, and practically handed me to Ian. “Take care of her Ian. I don’t want to have to kill your ugly ass.”

 

   Ian smirked and took my hand, linking our fingers. He led me out of Caine’s house and to his truck, casting a smug glance back over his shoulder at Caine. We both got in and he looked at me for a moment. “I really am sorry about the other night, Ember.”

 

   I shrugged, almost dismissing it entirely. “It’s okay, Ian. I wanted it at the time. I really did.” I looked out the window as the truck roared to life.

 

   “What’s going on with you and Caine?” He asked, pulling out of the driveway.

 

   I cast my eyes in his direction briefly. “I don’t know. We are just getting to know each other, I guess. He’s a nice man.” I really didn’t want to talk to Ian about my interest in Caine. It just didn’t seem appropriate.

 

   He gave me a dark look. “Did you sleep with him?” His hands tightened on the steering wheel, his knuckles turning white. Was he jealous?

 

   “Does it really matter? I am not dating either of you.” I admitted, knowing it was best to not lie to him. A muscle in his jaw ticked and he sighed heavily. “Ian, are you okay?”

 

   He let his eyes drift to me for a moment. “Yeah. I’m fine.” He gave me a weird look. “I’m just surprised that this is even bothering me.” He sighed and ran a hand over his face. “Caine and I used to share women, but this is different.”

 

   My eyes widened as I looked at him. “You have shared women? As in...”

 

   “As in both of us would fuck them, just not at the same time. We’ve always had similar tastes in women.” He said. “Why do you have to be so innocent? I just want to take you into your house and get you into your bed and have my wicked, dirty way with you.”

 

   I let out a breathy moan, feeling myself growing hot. “I don’t think that is going to happen. You know, you and Caine both have a way of making me feel like a whore...”

 

   He shook his head. “Neither of us want to make you feel like that. Do you see what you do to us? So you see your appeal?”

 

   “No.” I answered and I heard him curse under his breath. “But I think I should stay away from both of you unless we are at work.”

 

   I mean, I couldn’t help it if I felt the same toward Caine and Ian. I mean, they were so different, and yet they were the same. I wanted both of them, but I knew I couldn’t have both. It would be better for everyone if I could just focus on getting my life back in order. I didn’t need to let any man shoulder the burden of being with me. No matter if they wanted to take on the task or not.

 

    The look on his face confused me. He seemed hurt by what I had said, and I didn’t understand why. I was nothing to him. I was nothing to Caine. I just was. “If that is how you feel, then I will not stop you.”

    “You couldn’t even if you wanted to.” I whispered, sighing to myself before the car filled with silence.
