We can deal with that and the new revelation at a later time, but right now I just want to watch her she comes down from her high, my hips gently rocking to get as much pleasure for her as possible. Each little twitch and post-orgasm noise that she makes only endears her to me more. She is so gorgeous, especially sprawled out beneath me with my cum dripping from her.
That fucking ex of hers doesn’t know what he’s missing.
Slowly, I pull out of her and collapse down onto the bed beside her, scooping her into my arms and tucking her tightly against my body. We’re going to need to shower and tidy up, not to mention the conversation that will need to be had with Clay and Bear, but this moment is ours, and I’m not going to let anything spoil it.
THIRTY-FOUR
HOLLY
Today is the day.
The grand opening of the gym and health bar, and I couldn’t be prouder of the guys and what they’ve built here. General feedback from the townsfolk has been great so far, and their support has made all of this possible. There have been several setbacks with equipment and licensing issues, so the date was pushed back by a couple of weeks, but the day is finally here.
The town is buzzing with excitement and everyone seems keen to try out the new gym. Not much ever changes in Hinton Grove, so having a new business is an exciting new development, especially when you consider the three hot guys who run it. Everyone seems to have shown up today, and my cheeks ache from smiling so much. My heart soars every time I spot one of the guys, their happiness palpable as they realise their dream.
Clay and Bear are doing tours of the gym, talking through class schedules and showing people how to use the equipment, while Elliot does his thing behind the health bar. He has been non-stop since they opened the doors this morning, as everyone seems to want more information about what he brings to thebusiness and how it makes it different to any other gym. Not to mention, trying out the free samples up for offer.
Now that Elliot and I have moved past our issues, we’ve been working together on recipes. He has a whole wealth of scientific knowledge behind food and sports science that I hadn’t had the chance to take advantage of until recently. Where originally, I thought our businesses might clash, he’s shown me how they can work together. Protein shakes and health drinks are the primary products he sells, packed with vitamins and other important supplements, as well as high-energy snacks. Together, we’ve been working on low-fat, high-protein recipes that I can sell from the bakery to complement what he produces.
The last few weeks have been crazy, but also some of the best of my life. Sure, there have been difficult conversations between myself and the guys as we try to navigate the trials of there being four of us in this relationship. At some points, when the jealousy began to run high, I wasn’t sure it would work. However, all three of them have been committed to working through this, and the best way we found for that is honesty. Elliot has been keen to keep a boundary between him and his brothers when it comes to intimacy, and I assumed this would be the case for Clay, but to my surprise, he’s been open to the occasional evening with Bear and myself. Very quickly it was decided that there would be no physical interaction between any of the guys; their close relationship doesn’t extend into the bedroom. However, when I am the focus of the attention, Clay and Bear become very good at sharing.
“Girl, you need to tell me your secrets,” Ashley comments, as she sidles up to me, tray of brownies in hand, breaking me out of my moment of appreciation. I had offered to do the catering for the event, and managed to convince my best friend to help out. Which is why the two of us are wandering around with trays of freshly baked brownies.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” My voice may sound prim and proper, but my smile is smug. We both know exactly what she’s talking about and I’m not even bothering to hide it. There’s been gossip for the last few weeks about who I’m dating and who I’ve been seen with in town, and a couple of people have even asked me outright. My answer? That I’m very happy and thank you for asking. The answer is true, and it easily deters any further questions.
“Damn,” she mumbles, her eyes locked on Clay as he walks past us with a potential client. “Here I am struggling to find one guy who will actually call me back, and you have three at your beck and call.” Sighing dramatically, she flips her hair and turns her attention back to me, pouting as though I am single-handedly denying her happiness. “It’s not fair. You should share with your best friend.”
I chuckle with her, the comment hitting differently now that I literally am being shared by three guys. She is the only person that I’ve told about my relationship, and even then, I have kept most of the finer details to myself. Ashley, being Ashley, uses any occasion to try to get the spicier details from me, but thankfully she seems to realise that today is neither the time, nor the place.
Huffing at the lack of reaction, she reaches over and steals a brownie from my tray. I gasp in mock horror at the theft. “These are for the guests!”
As far as I care, she could eat every single one of the treats and I wouldn’t bat an eyelid, but this is just part of our relationship and she knows I’m not being serious. Not to mention our trays contain exactly the same snack, so I know she’s just doing it to make a point.
“It’s not my fault you make such tasty treats.” Her comment is muffled through a mouthful of brownie. “Besides, how did I end up being free labour for you?”
I flush a saccharine-sweet smile at her, batting my eyelashes. “Because you love me. Now get out there.”
She mutters something about slave labour under her breath, rolling her eyes as she does as I ask, reaching a group of people who are just walking through the door.
A warm hand presses against my hip, sliding around my waist until I’m gently pulled against a familiar body. Instantly, I recognise Bear’s scent and his gentle touch, so at contrast to the hard body I’m now leaning against.
“Thank you for being here today, it really means the world to us.”
Butterflies are running riot in my stomach, the sincerity of his comment making this moment even more special. My back is against his chest as he whispers the words into my ear from behind me, but there’s something about his voice that makes me want to see his face. Lifting my head, I look up at him through my eyelashes. His expression is warm as usual, yet the emotion in his voice that he’s trying to hold back is evident in his glistening eyes.
“Of course, I want to support you in any way I can. Baking some protein brownies is the least I can do.” I gesture towards my half-empty tray with a smile, my response a far more practical answer than what I would like to say. If we were alone, and I pushed all of my fear aside, I would tell him that I will always be where he needs me, because of my love for him and his brothers.
“It’s more than that, and you know it.” He pauses, taking a moment to clear his throat. “Coming here was a risk, but we had a dream and Hinton Grove seemed like the perfect place to realise it.” I glance around the gym as he speaks, taking in all of their hard work. “What we didn’t realise was that our dream wasn’t the business, it was you.”
I turn in his arms so we’re facing each other, a thick lump at the back of my throat. No one has ever said something so romantic to me before, and the fact I know it’s one hundred percent true only makes it mean that much more.
“I love you,” I whisper, my heart fluttering, and I stand on tiptoes to place a kiss against his lips. People are watching, but I really don’t care. However, we keep the kiss light and sweet, about as far as we can get away with in public.
We break apart, looking into each other’s eyes. I wish that we could stay like this forever. Hinton Grove isn’t ready for the four of us openly dating.
There’s a noise behind me, conversation in the room suddenly changing, and it breaks through my loving haze. Bear picks up on it too, frowning and looking over my shoulder at whatever the commotion is.
“Oh, shit.” He squeezes my arm and quickly moves away, striding towards the front door. I’m confused about what’s going on, so I turn to follow him and see exactly what is happening.
