“Wait, what?” He looked at her, shocked.

Jane finally smiled. “She’s agreed to the cabinets, counter tops and a backsplash with a few new appliances.”

“What the fuck?” Callum pulled the paper from Aiden’s hand, and I realized it was a check for twenty-five thousand dollars.

“What? How?” I asked, shocked that she pulled it off, as was Aiden who kept staring at her, clearly dumbfounded. Rarely was he lost for words.

Jane shrugged. “I honestly don’t know what happened, but I just picked up on her style and made a few suggestions. She liked my ideas and then it kind of snowballed. Though I am sorry because I don’t know what your deposit amounts are, so I just said this would be a good start and we can talk if we need more.”

Aiden scooped Jane into a hug, startling her as she squealed. “Thank you,” I heard him whisper. She looked scared at first, then she closed her eyes and leaned into the hug. She seemed torn, like it hurt her to be this close to someone and yet she looked desperate for attention, like her soul yearned for it. I’d never seen someone look like that and it broke my heart. Callum turned away from them because he didn’t do emotions, but he glanced back at them and a flicker of something crossed his face.

Aiden put Jane down, and they just stared at each other for a second before pulling away. “So, what do you want for dinner?” he asked, scratching the back of his head, looking embarrassed at his actions.

“I’m actually pooped. Maybe tomorrow?” she asked, sounding a little nervous as she looked at us.

“Yeah, sure, I don’t think any of us have any plans, right guys?” He looked at us with a desperate look.

“You think we’d turn down food?” Callum joked, but with his tone Jane probably didn’t notice he was joking.

Jane smiled at Callum, like she knew this was his attempt to be funny. “Alright, let’s have dinner the four of us tomorrow.”

“Great, I’ll text you tomorrow to set up place and time.” Aiden nodded at her.

“See y’all tomorrow.” Jane walked back to her car as we all watched her.

Aiden walked away first, leaving Callum and I staring after Jane. “Do you feel trouble?” I asked Callum.

He watched her for a few more seconds before he responded. “I have a feeling it might be the right kind of trouble.” He walked away too, leaving me to think about what it meant to have Jane here. I didn’t know what it was, but it felt like she was a game changer. She made me feel unbalanced, out of control and if I didn’t pay attention, she would screw up what we had going on.

I followed the guys to finish organizing some inventory, still thinking about Jane.

Once I was done, I made myself some reminders to look at the Calhouns project. We all piled into the truck and took off to go grab some dinner. We lived a very predictable life. Work, eat and occasionally play and by the way Callum kept checking his phone, it looked like it was a play kind of night for him.

We all lived together in a house we all helped build, and it worked for us. I inhaled my food on the way home, and when we arrived, I gave our dog Tango some love before walking to my room to take a shower.

I hated working construction, but I sucked it up for Aiden and Callum because help was so tight. I preferred working with numbers and computers. These long days of work sucked; it wasn’t until I took a shower at night that I felt even remotely better. A hot shower always made me feel better. It also helped with all the aches and pains. I got out, dried myself quickly, and threw on some sweatpants. I laid down on my bed, enjoying the comfort for just a moment.

The sound of heels caught my attention, and I knew Callum’s play had arrived. I smirked as I tried to guess who it was this time. I got up and walked out of my bedroom to head to the kitchen. The sounds of giggling echoed in the house, and I knew it was Candy. I grabbed myself a beer from the fridge, debating on what I wanted to do.

I made my way to the living room to sit in a chair by the window, and as I sat down, I noticed Callum wasn’t playing around. I had a perfect view into the room he took Candy in, that was across the small courtyard we had. It was a room we always used for the women we brought home and if the curtains were open, it that meant we were up for sharing. Candy was lying on the bed while he ate her out. It looked like he wasted no time in getting what he wanted.

Her back arched up, pushing those perky tits out, begging to be touched. I took another swig of my beer, still undecided.

“Candy?” Aiden walked into the living room looking freshly showered.

“Yup,” I responded, not taking my eyes off them. Her moans were just loud enough for us to hear and were getting louder, making me hard. Callum ate pussy like he was a starved man, and he didn’t stop until he was sure the woman was satisfied.

“Jesus, her tits are great.” Aiden also had a beer he took a swig from. “Well, I’m off to bed. All this stress is making me exhausted. Have fun.” He said it like he knew I was about to join them. It wasn’t uncommon for us to share. We learned very early on we could share just fine.

I finished my beer, recycled it, and decided I needed to have some fun. As I walked into the spare bedroom, Candy let out a loud moan.

“Thank god,” She panted with her eyes closed as I walked towards her. “He wouldn’t let me come without you.” She groaned.

I smirked as I climbed onto the bed to fondle her tits. “What would you have done if I didn’t show up?” I tweaked her nipple hard, then massaged the sting away. Callum didn’t even acknowledge me, and I don’t know how that fucker knew I was going to come by.

“I… I… Fuck Callum.” He slurped her juices, making loud exaggerated sounds. I leaned down to suck on her nipple and kept a view of Callum eating her out. He added a finger inside her pussy and then another one, while he lapped at her clit. She bowed off the bed again, pushing her tits in my face, her breathing becoming erratic. Candy was getting ready to come, and I knew Callum would not let her. He was a master of edging, keeping women going until they couldn’t go anymore, and when he finally gave them the release they yearned for, they looked as if they’d found fucking nirvana.

“Yes. Yes. Yes.” Her voice got louder with each yes and then Callum pulled away. “NO, NO, NO!” she yelled, glaring at him. He just smirked at her because this wasn’t her first rodeo. She knew what to expect from us. Cal pulled down his sweats, stroking himself a few times before he opened a condom and rolled it on. He lined himself up with her and slammed himself in. He groaned, staying still for just a second before he started moving.
