“Her purchases aren’t any of our business. You planning on dropping by to check out her grocery orders next?” Darrin chided his brother.

“Thank you, Darrin,” I said with gratitude as I leaned over and gave Nate’s twin a kiss on the lips. I wanted the kiss to be hot and heavy, to show him how much I longed for him, but I didn’t, still unsure of the dynamics between the three of us.

“Suck up,” Nate muttered, but when I looked back to him, he was grinning, the packaged pink dildo in his hand. Once he realized he’d gotten my attention again he continued, “Wore your old one out?”

I could feel the heat coloring my cheeks as I shrugged. “That would be my very first one.”

“You’re shitting me.”

“No, I’m not. I’ve never needed one.”

“The ex that well hung?” Nate raised an eyebrow at me, his grin remaining.

“Just never had the desire to dabble in toys before.” I shrugged.

“You were part of a sorority, weren’t you?”

“Yeah.” I knew where he was going with this, typical male fantasy. “You figure we all had dildo parties in our bras and panties in addition to pillow fights—”

“—where you all end up kissing and having beautiful lesbian sex all night. Yup, that’s about it. That’s how I envision college girls.” He looked over at Darrin. “You with me on this, brother?”

Laughing at the stereotype that Nate had described to a ‘T’, my head turned to see Darrin giving his head a shake, but there was a hint of a smile. “No. That’s not how I envision it.”

“Not even on those lonely nights when you’re all alone, just you and your laptop?”

Darrin’s stone exterior broke and he laughed, leaned back into the chair, and spread his hands out at his sides. “What I do in the privacy of my own bathtub is nobody’s business but my own.”

I loved seeing him smile. Seeing them both smile, but Darrin in particular. He was so serious much of the time and seemed to be the one of the two that had the cloud over him, a deep sadness that tugged at me, making me hope that one day he’d open up and let me in. Maybe one day.

At the sound of a bag rustling, my attention went back to Nate. Next to be pulled out of the bag was restraints. They were made of black straps that were adjustable depending on the size of the bed.

“Wow, look at this. It’s gotten very interesting. Which one of us did you purchase these for?”

I chewed my lower lip, the blush returning. There was no sense denying my intentions. I had a feeling I was only going to be hurting myself by playing coy in the end. “I wasn’t sure, to be honest. Myself. Perhaps either of you.”

“Uh-huh. We’ll set that up after I finish investigating.”

I looked back over at Darrin and he winked, making me feel more at ease with the situation. After the fourth toy, the nervousness and embarrassment had faded and I embraced the idea of having fun with it. If everything went right, the guys would be seeing this stuff all in due time anyhow.

Once the final item was removed from the bag, a bottle of warming lube, and my booty was spread across the coffee table, I discovered I’d over-shopped even worse than I’d thought. I gave both men a shrug.

“Preparing for every possible scenario, honey?” Nate asked, lifting his gaze from the table of toys to meet mine. “Two cocks not enough?”

My mouth dropped open. “’Course they are. It’s just…”

Nate reached out to me and lightly touched my lower arm, slowly moving his hand upwards to my elbow and then back down again. “I’m messing with you.” While his mouth said he was messing around, his eyes said otherwise, sending a shiver up and down my spine. My eyes darted back to the toys. Without a doubt, I wanted to explore the uses of each item with the brothers.

“I’m not…” I whispered, feeling brazen, my gaze locking to his. I’d been fantasizing about being with both brothers at once since our trio date to Coney Island, and it prompted my desire to get a vibrator since masturbation was starting to cramp my hand.

Could tonight be the night? I hoped so. The ache in my pussy was in full agreeance. But how did I even initiate this? I didn’t know. If I were a brazen woman I’d just go for it, or say it straight out. Alas, I wasn’t that woman. Going through my purchases had tested my comfort level with the brothers taking it to the limit.

Layla

Nate’s gaze dipped to my lips, which I automatically swept my tongue across, my pulse beginning to speed up. He leaned in and the feeling of anticipation intensified.

A little closer.
