“It won’t, but I need to do something.” She raised her mug to me. “To throwing love into the ocean with concrete strapped to its feet.”
Brooke’s bitterness was relatable. How had I let myself get into this same situation again, dealing with a woman I’d inadvertently get hurt? If I’d kept my head on straight, I wouldn’t have been sitting up late at night, unable to sleep because of a broken heart.
“Sure.” I tapped my mug against hers and took a sip. “I’ll drink to that.”
CHAPTER22
Ethan
Seeing Taylor wandering around her apartment, dead-eyed, was killing me. I didn’t want her to hurt. We’d just had an incredible time in the Bahamas, celebrating this new relationship, and now it was broken.
I was fucking pissed at Cody, as much as I understood where he was coming from. Potentially seeing Taylor get hurt was part of the job, one that wasn’t going to be easier if he wasn’t officially in a relationship with her. He couldn’t just turn off his feelings. But the idea of losing her was probably even more painful for him because of his past.
I walked through her apartment, looking for her. Usually, Taylor wasn’t a night owl, but she wasn’t in bed.
“Hey,” I said softly to Taylor, who was sitting at her computer.
“Hi.” She gave me a weak smile. “I can’t sleep.”
“Do you want to order cookies or something?” She’d turned us onto cookie delivery, something so indulgent that I hadn’t ever thought to do it. Now we’d ordered them more times than I wanted to admit.
“Sure, yeah. With oat milk.”
I put through our normal order and came up behind her, rubbing her shoulders. She leaned into my touch.
“Sorry,” she mumbled.
“Why are you apologizing?” I asked. “You’re upset. Makes sense to me.”
“It does make sense.” Harrison appeared around the corner, his hands in the pockets of his sweatpants. “Cookies are on the way?”
“Yeah. Eating my sorrows.” She tried to laugh, but sounded horribly sad.
“I think you’re allowed to do that.” Harrison sat down next to her and massaged her hand. “But I think I know of a good way to take care of your sorrows until the delivery arrives.”
He leaned forward and kissed her. The tension in her brow melted away as she leaned into the kiss.
I ran my hands over her shoulders, continuing my massage as they kissed. My hands skimmed under the loose neckline of her t-shirt until I was cupping her tits. I pinched her nipples between my fingers, tugging on them until they were little peaks.
“Let’s go to the bedroom,” she said, her voice breathy.
We rushed there, Taylor holding each of our hands. Once we were inside, we laid her down, kissing her all over her body. After our first few times together, we started taking our time more, drawing out the touches and taking it slow. Tonight was about her and making her feel good again.
Besides, touching her soft, supple skin, exploring her breasts and ass and inner thighs, was more than enough to get me ready to go. Same with Harrison. We moved like we’d sorted out the choreography beforehand, with Taylor straddling Harrison and sliding down onto his cock and me sliding into her lubed ass.
We moved with slow, deliberate strokes, covering her with kisses everywhere we could. I reached around her and rubbed her clit, inhaling her sweet scent at the base of her neck. She squeezed around us, her breaths turning into moans.
Soon, she came hard, shaking so hard that she nearly came off of us. Now that she’d had her release, I chased my own, fucking her in the ass hard in time with Harrison in her pussy. My eyes fluttered closed as I came, muffling my moan against the side of her neck. Harrison lasted a touch longer until he came with a rough groan.
We untangled ourselves, helping Taylor clean up before setting her between us. None of us spoke, but we did link hands.
“What do you think our future will be like?” Taylor asked after a long moment of silence.
I massaged her hand. I wasn’t sure where we were going to go from here. We hadn’t even had Cody around because Taylor wasn’t leaving the apartment. What was it going to be like with him here, but not with us? It felt wrong, like a piece of a puzzle wasn’t quite in its spot.
“I don’t know,” I admitted.
“But we’ll figure it out,” Harrison quickly added. “Let’s just rest for now, okay?”
