“We know what we need to know.Our kindness doesn’t come with a price tag, Violet.You’re not going to owe us anything.It really is okay for you to let your guard down and trust that you’re safe here.No one is going to ask you for anything or expect anything from you.It’s okay to rest and figure things out without rushing through decisions.”I would tell her that as often as needed until she finally accepted it.
She eyed me suspiciously for a second, her mind already moving on to the next subject.I grinned and waited, knowing I could do this all day with her.
“Okay.But I have one question before we go any further,” she said, instantly making Asher curious as he lifted his head and looked at her.
“I’ll answer anything you want,” I told her, meaning every word.I hated lies and would never do anything that might hurt her, including keeping the truth from her.If she wanted to know all of the dirty details of what we did for a living, I would tell her.
“Why is the bed in the guestroom so large?Do you guys have a lot of company or something?”She frowned, showing she clearly had no idea what an Alaskan King-sized bed might be used for with two single guys.
I scrubbed a hand down my jaw as Asher wore a shit-eating grin while he waited for me to answer.
“Sometimes Asher and I need more space to spread out,” I said, licking my lips as I imagined spreading her out on the bed as we both took turns pleasuring her.
A burst of red colored her cheeks as her eyes widened and she looked between us.
“Oh!I’m sorry, I wasn’t trying to pry into your sex lives,” she rushed out.“What two men like to do behind closed doors is—”
“Asher and I aren’t a couple,” I clarified quickly.“And we don’t fuck each other.”
She nervously chewed the side of her lip as she thought about what I was saying.Before she could ask questions she wasn’t ready for the answers to, I nodded to Asher and followed him into the garage to get her bags so we could help get her settled in.

Violet
Even though I feltbad about crashing their place, Enzo and Asher had been nothing but kind to me since the moment they saved me from having to deal with Jared.Dinner was delicious, and I had struggled to keep my eyes off of both of them as they cooked because they looked incredibly sexy in the kitchen.Jared never cooked, which meant I was fully responsible for home-cooked meals if I wanted them.If it were up to him, he would live on fast food and delivery.
After dinner, I helped them clean up, though they fought me on that, too.It was odd not having to do all the stuff around the house, but I reminded myself that this was their house and I was just a temporary guest.
The day had been long and taxing, so I called it a night early and went to the bedroom they’d given me.I was still curious why they needed such a large bed when they both had rooms of their own, but it was rude to continue pressing the subject.At first, I thought they were lovers, and while it seemed odd they wouldn’t just share a room with a large bed of their own, Enzo’s heated gaze quickly shut that idea down.
He’d confirmed that nothing was going on between them, but didn’t elaborate on what he meant by them needing the large bed so they had space to spread out.And it wasn’t just thatoneof them needed to spread out; he’d very clearly saidthey.There was so much tension and chemistry radiating between the three of us that I was worried I would come if they continued to look at me the way they had been.It was a wild, far-fetched thought, but I continued to fantasize about it nonetheless.
It was a little after eleven, and I hadn’t been able to fall asleep.A TV was mounted on the wall across from the bed, above the dresser that currently held the clean clothes I bought and washed earlier.It felt a little too much like unpacking and moving in, but I also didn’t want to leave a mess in the bedroom with clothes thrown everywhere.Okay—so maybe I did want that, I just wanted there to be another reason for it.
Enzo had shown me the different streaming services they subscribed to and how to access them.I’d been flipping through the channels, not finding anything to watch, when I realized that I needed to use the restroom.
