Page 75 of My Ex-Fiance's Best Men
“Don’t stop,” I whisper, the pressure becoming unbearable as he flicks my clit with perfect persistence. “Just like that, baby, don’t… don’t stop.”
I come hard, convulsing in wave after wave of pleasure. Theo gives me his all, slamming into me as I ride the wave, my pussy pulsating with every thrust.
My knees are weak, but we’re nowhere near done. By the time we reach the bed, the mechanics of our dynamic shift. I end up riding Dominic’s massive cock while August takes Theo’s place.Theo climbs up on top of the bed, and I grasp his hips while welcoming him in my mouth.
“Baby, you taste fantastic,” I smile as he pulls back for a second, his cock twitching excitedly.
“I taste like you,” he replies, then cups my face and deep-throats me to tears. I lose my mind in the process, fucked every way until I forget who I am and why I came here in the first place.
“You’re so fucking perfect,” Theo says. “Don’t you ever let anyone tell you otherwise.”
I swallow him whole as August rams deeper and harder.
I’m filled to the brim, stretched and tender by the time we’re done. We lay naked in bed for a while, dusk turning into evening with starry skies, the ocean lazily lapping at the beach mere yards away from the bedroom’s open French doors.
This is where I belong.
Where I should’ve been all along.
“We’ll figure it out,”Theo says. “Whatever Helen thinks she’s got on you to justify stripping you of your inheritance, we can fight it in court.”
“She’s angling for a moral clause,” I tell him. “There isn’t one stipulated in the will itself, but there is one pertaining to maintaining the integrity of Baldwin Corporation’s public image.”
It’s early morning and we’re in the kitchen. The smell of freshly brewed coffee hits harder than usual, and for the first time in a very long time, I don’t find the Colombian roast as appealing. I set the mug aside and stick to water, while a knot keeps tightening in the back of my throat.
“Helen would have to prove that your lifestyle has an impact on the company’s public image,” August says, his gaze bouncing between my mug and my face. “I don’t think a Twitter war qualifies.”
“She’d have to look at stock value, first and foremost. Has that decreased since Matthew broke off the wedding or since we went to Hawaii?” Dominic replies. “A one-day difference could make or break the case.”
I’m on my phone, going over historical stock changes over the past couple of months. There have been fluctuations, but I can’t find anything I would deem worthy of consideration. “Company stocks are doing just fine,” I announce after several minutes of scrolling through data.
“What about company sales?” August asks. “A drop there could be tied to this, but it would be difficult to prove. Consumer confidence isn’t as black and white.”
“Helen’s lawyers could still make a compelling case,” Theo points out. “Just enough to get a judge’s ear, for sure.”
“This is insane.” I sigh deeply, the knot tightening even more.
“You look kind of pale. Are you okay?” August asks, giving me a concerned look. “You haven’t even touched your coffee.”
I reply with a weak smile. “Exhaustion must’ve caught up with me. I’m sorry.”
“You have nothing to apologize for,” he says. “Are you hungry? We can whip up a decent breakfast.”
“That’s right, you fine gentlemen also cook,” I reply with a giggle, eager to change the subject. I reckon the lawyers will do a better job of dealing with this mess, and I’d rather not slip into another bottomless puddle of overthinking again.
The twins exchange amused glances.
“Hey, last time I checked, you were into our maple bacon pancakes,” Dominic quips. “Or were you just being nice?”
“No, those were good. I just don’t have an appetite right now,” I reply.
“As much as I hate to admit it, we might have to be careful with the public perception from now on. At least until we resolve this inheritance issue in court,” Theo says.
“What do you mean?” I ask, my brow furrowed.
“Public displays of affection, declarations, outings. We should refrain from all of that until the judge rules in your favor,” he explains.
I understand what Theo is saying, yet I can’t help but feel awkward. There are good intentions behind this approach, but they would only serve to prove people like Crystal and Georgina are right. It would also make it appear that Dominic, August, and Theo aren’t willing to commit to me long term. That they’re embarrassed to be seen in public with me.
