I just don’t know which part not to believe yet. The obvious detail is the reverse harem situation, but a different thought, one that I’ve been avoiding letting into my active brain space, snakes its way to the front. She has to meet her dad at nine. That’s the same time I have to meet my mom.
What on earth am I supposed to do with that?
Three
Klayton
PeachBottomValleyisn’tmuch to drive around, but I wind down each street of the quaint little town. I need time to revel in what just happened, and how Aria stole my heart already. I don’t want either of my brothers to kill my mood.
We’re all staying at the same hotel, just opted to hang out at a bar for the evening. When Vance introduced us to Aria, I was thankful we’d gotten separate rooms because they looked like they wanted to bang each other’s brains out all night long.
That took a twist I hadn’t seen coming. Is Aria serious about having a thing for all of us? And will Vance go for it?
He always hated being at our mercy. Getting toted around as the baby, living through hand-me-downs, and generally having to live in the shadow of his older brothers, had always bugged him.
Mom did her best to ensure we stayed friends and considered each other equals, but there was a pecking order. Vance finding Aria upsets that. He’s in charge. I huff…as if that’s the weirdest thing about tonight.
The test I’d presented to Aria, that she needed an older man, was kind of a dick move, but I’d noticed the way she’d looked at Sebastian and me. The lingering glances, checking out Seb’s biceps—he’s a gym rat so it’s warranted—but there was something extra about her.
It was the strangest undercurrent I’ve ever felt around my brothers. We normally respect each other’s space with women, but Aria was like a caged animal, and I felt compelled to step on my brother’s toes to release her.
She looked so damn innocent, and so damn sultry all at the same time.
When I finally pull up to the hotel, Vance is heading inside. Where has he been? Did he follow Aria home and tell her that he doesn’t want to share anymore? I sit in my rental for a few minutes. I’m not ready for anyone to burst the bubble.
Morning comes around way too soon. I dreamt about Aria and my brothers all night. No woman has ever been so present in my mind. And now, after jacking off to her, I have to face my brothers and mom for a family day. Or weekend. Or whatever the hell it is mom has planned.
She’s been acting weird lately. But in a good, happy way. There were a lot of years that we struggled after dad left, but mom’s resilient, smart, and I owe everything to her. My brothers and I have keen business minds because she guided us into believing we weren’t defined by our impoverished roots. Roots grow. And with enough sunshine, love, and water, as she used to say, we would grow to our full potential.
All three of us are millionaires, flirting with switching the m to a b before we turn thirty.
Thus, if mom wants to be sketchy about what we’re doing for the weekend, fine. My phone dings. She finally sent us the address where we’re going to meet.
It’s also on my mind that neither of my brothers texted or called. I must not be the only one attempting to keep the bubble from popping, which could mean Vance isn’t going to get greedy. A flash of excitement blasts my heart.
It’s time to meet mom though. I open the map. Interesting, the address is for a house on a small lake, or maybe it’s a large pond. I zoom the map out. Looks like a secluded neighborhood tucked over the mountain range. There’s a bigger lake right next to the neighborhood. The area has its own name:Eggplant Canyon
Do eggplants grow in the mountains? Then it hits me. A portion of the big lake extends out in a phallic shape and the small lake the neighborhood surrounds is right off the tip. It looks like jizz. Seriously. What were the people who named this place up to? Then again, the hotel is in Peach Bottom Valley.
Maybe Ishouldbe worried what mom’s up to.
Both of my brothers are waiting in the lobby by the time I get there. We don’t have to exchange words for me to pick up that last night holds potential for more than a fling for all of us. It’s heavy, and none of us know what to do with it.
A few tense seconds pass, then Sebastian calls, “Shotgun.”
We bust out laughing. No one cares anymore unless we have to ride in a vehicle with a small back seat. It’s more of a tribute to the good old days when we vied for dominance and mom’s attention.
We have a thirty-minute drive which gives plenty of time for laughs about Eggplant Canyon to die off, ponderings about mom to hit a dead end, and questions about Aria to surface.
Sebastian can’t resist. “Are we ready for the elephant in the room now?”
I’m driving so I let it go.
“What are you guys thinking?” Vance says.
“You did good, little bro. Aria’s hot. I’m surprised you were willing to let us join in on your hookup.” That should test Vance’s commitment, and I sound enough like my usual self they shouldn’t suspect I got so attached.
“It’s more than a hookup. There’s something serious between us.”
