Page 47 of Cora

“It’s nothing,” he assured me. “One day, I’ll hear that giggle out loud, and I’m looking forward to it.”

This time, it was my turn to look sad. It wasn’t that I don’t try, I do, it just won’t come out. I’m broken.

Derrick put a finger under my chin and lifted it so that I could look into his soft eyes. “It will happen when it’s meant to, Cora. There’s no pressure for it to happen any sooner than that.”

“Can we please fucking talk?” Trent asked Remi, jumping when the thunder rumbled again. “Preferably before we all die.”

“Yeah, we can talk,” Remi replied. I nodded in satisfaction and went to go into the kitchen when Remi’s arm snaked out and grabbed me. “I’d like it if you talked with us too, Cora. Please?” I met his concerned eyes and nodded. Yes, I’d talk with them. All I wanted was for things to stop feeling awkward between us. I grabbed my iPad and followed them into our bedroom. I anticipated needing to speak. I climbed onto the bed, sat cross-legged in the middle, and waited for someone to start talking.

“I think I need to explain why I’ve been struggling lately,” Remi started.

“That would be fucking nice,” Trent said more harshly than I think he meant to. He blushed as the words left his mouth. “Sorry,” he mumbled.

“Don’t apologize,” Remi said, stroking his cheek. “After constantly blowing you off, you’re more than justified in feeling angry. When the apocalypse began, I was in a long-term heterosexual relationship and a few months into an affair with my roommate. I tried to get him to come out to our girlfriendsso we could stop living in the closet, and he refused. Ultimately, he chose his girlfriend over me. They didn’t make it out of town. The airport was overrun before their plane could take off.”

The storm outside made itself known again, causing Trent to flinch hard. Remi guided him to the bed to sit with me, and I wrapped myself around him like a living backpack to comfort him. “I’m sorry that happened to you, Rem,” Trent said when he had relaxed again, “but that’s not what this is. I’m not going to pick Cora over you. I love both of you. I need both of you in my life, and I’ve felt like you were pulling away from me and were becoming uninterested in being with me.”

“That couldn’t be further from the truth,” Remi said, kneeling in front of us. “I want this, with both of you. I just... sometimes I let the intrusive thoughts get the better of me, and I’m so fucking sorry for that. For putting you through this. By struggling with my issues on my own, I ended up making you both feel the way Kevin made me feel, and I would never wish that on anyone.” Remi stood and leaned forward. He first kissed Trent. Then, when the kiss ended, he leaned further over Trent’s shoulder to kiss me.

It was a soft and tentative kiss. Neither of us was willing to give it our all right away, but I could feel the passion simmering just under the surface.

“How do I prove to you both that I am in this for the long haul?” Remi asked when the kiss ended.

“Fuck Cora,” Trent stated. My heart began to pound as I met Remi’s eyes over his shoulder, and he cocked a brow. “Everyone in this house, including yourself, knows you want to. So do it. That’s how you can prove to us that you’re in this.”

Remi’s eyes had yet to leave mine, and he grinned as he stood and began stripping. “With pleasure.”

Trent unwrapped my limbs from around him and turned. “Are you ok with this?” I nodded emphatically. Hell yeah, I was!

I typed a message on the iPad: “What about you? Are you ok with this since it’s storming outside?”

Trent smiled and kissed me briefly as he took the iPad from me and put it on the nightstand. “I’m more than ok with this,” he assured me. “Trust me, I’ll jump in where I want to when I want to.” Trent helped me out of my clothes, moved me toward the center of the bed, and shifted to my other side to make room for Remi.

Remi crawled between my legs with a salacious smile. “Remember what I said about getting between your thighs?”

I blushed and nodded.

“Good. Cause we’re going to be here a while.”

We kissed again, this time without anything holding us back. Remi’s tongue twisted and teased with mine as his hands skimmed over my body. His mouth wasn’t far behind them as he trailed kisses down my neck. He spent a lengthy amount of time worshipping my breasts before finally sliding his mouth where I wanted it. I trembled as his hot breath blew across my needy kitty. He nuzzled my inner thighs as he put my legs over his shoulder. My back arched when his tongue finally licked through my folds.

“Fuck, you taste just as good as they’ve been saying, Cora,” Remi groaned. While he settled between my thighs, Trent sucked on my nipples. Pleasure rolled through my body as they pushed me toward my first orgasm.

“You look so sexy between her legs, Rem,” Trent moaned, resting his head on my stomach to watch Remi.

“Taste her with me,” Remi ordered.

Two tongues twisting around my clit was my complete undoing. One orgasm rolled into another as Trent used his weight to hold me in place as they relentlessly drew orgasms from me like I was a fucking fountain. When they finally relented, I was spent, but we weren’t even close to being doneyet. Trent moved off of me as Remi slid up my body and into me in one smooth stroke. We both moaned as he bottomed out.

“Doesn’t she feel like fucking heaven?” Trent whispered, moving behind Remi.

“Fuck yes, she does,” Remi agreed, locking his arm around Trent’s neck to kiss him. I whimpered as they made out in front of me. I shifted my hips impatiently, silently begging Remi to start moving.

Trent caught the movement out of the corner of his eye and rubbed my clit with his thumb. “Just a minute, baby. Me and Remi are going to fuck you hard in just a second.”

Through hooded eyes, I watched as he grabbed their bottle of oil and squirted some on his dick, stroking it around until it was glistening. His hand then went behind Remi, where I imagined he was sliding his fingers. Remi moaned and jerked his hips forward, confirming my suspicion.

Trent moved into position and pulled Remi’s hips back a little, sliding him partway out of me. “I love you both so much,” Trent moaned as he thrust his hips forward, driving himself deep into Remi and propelling him back into me. They quickly found their stride and dragged me along for the ride, but Remi didn’t let me feel for a moment like I was a non-participating member. When his lips weren’t on mine, they were somewhere else on my body.
