The Arrangement - A Reverse Harem Romance, page 14
You really need to tell them.
It was nagging at me all trip — the looming deadline with their publisher. The little meeting I’d had with Jay, that for some stupid reason I was keeping from them.
It won’t take much to come clean.
No, it wouldn’t. And it would make me feel better. More importantly, it might prepare them for what Jay was going to say when he found out they’d continued with the shared girlfriend storyline. That Juliana had become hopelessly entrenched throughout all three books now, and she was definitely here to stay.
We were back in the cabin when I decided to pull Nathan aside. Chase was busy lighting the fireplace. Burke had disappeared out back, doing God knew what.
“Can I talk to you?”
He’d seemed excited when I first pulled him into one of the side bedrooms. Now he just looked concerned.
“Honey, that’s wrong?”
I hesitated... again. God, why couldn’t I do this?
“N—Nothing,” I stammered. “It’s just that… well…”
Nathan pulled me down on the edge of bed, so that we were both sitting. He took my hands in his.
“Say it,” he said. “Whatever it is.”
I took a deep breath. “I just wanted to talk about… about your publisher.”
Nathan’s eyes lit up with something. I wasn’t sure what it was until he interrupted me.
“Jay?”
“Yes.”
It was recognition.
“You’re still worried about what I said a few weeks ago,” Nathan jumped in. “About wanting to do everything on our own, instead of using my father’s connections.”
“No,” I said. “I mean yes. I mean, sort of, but—”
“Honey, don’t worry about that,” Nathan said, squeezing my hand. “I was being selfish. I wasn’t thinking of the other guys. I’m past all that now.”
Crap. He wasn’t getting it.
“Nathan, I—”
“Everyone gets a little help these days,” he said quickly. “Not using my father’s publishing connections would be just plain stupid. It would crush Chase and Burke, too, to pull that rug out from under them now. I couldn’t even imagine telling them we don’t have a book deal, or an agent, or a guaranteed way to get our books on the shelves.”
I studied his expression carefully. He was so happy all of a sudden. So excited. Maybe because things had been going so well, and they were all so close to the end.
“I don’t want you to worry about what I said before,” Nathan told me. He reached out lovingly and touched my cheek. “I was being mopey and stupid. I was making problems where there really weren’t any.”
He leaned in and kissed me, and I felt my whole body go limp. I threw my arms around him. Hugged him tight.
“All good?” he said, rubbing my back.
I pushed everything else from my mind and nodded. “All good.”
“Fantastic,” he said, pulling back again so he could look at me. He squeezed my hands one more time and stood up.
“Now sit here for another two or three minutes,” he said cryptically, his eyes dancing with a strange excitement. “And then come out back.”

I stayed, wondering why I hadn’t told him. Wondering if it really would’ve made much of a difference anyway. It was too late to change anything now. They’d written what they’d written, and Jay would see it no matter what.
I also wondered what Nathan had meant by out ‘back’.
It was roughly three minutes later when I wandered out into the living area. The fireplace was blazing. The cabin wasn’t warm yet — not even close — but the heat coming from that direction was definitely pleasant.
But there was no one around.
I checked the tiny kitchen, then the other bedrooms. Releasing a long sigh, I wandered over to the back door and popped it open.
“Snow forts, snowballs, it’s the all the same to me,” I said loudly into the crisp night air. “Whatever you guys are doing out here, if you think I’m following you into the cold and wind to—”
Whatever else I was about to say never came out. I was too startled — and absolutely elated — by what I saw.
“Holy shit!”
A wall of steam rose up from a large, cedar-slatted hot tub. All three guy were inside, submerged up to their necks, smiling like idiots. Clutching beers, just above the water line.
“There’s a hot tub?”
Nathan cackled. Burke brought his bottle to his smiling lips and drank deeply.
“Uh… yes?” Chase grinned.
“Nobody told me there was a hot tub!”
“You didn’t ask,” Burke shrugged.
I was stunned. Thrilled. Freezing cold, all at the same time.
“But I didn’t bring a bathing suit,” I protested.
They guys looked me up and down, like wolves eying wounded prey.
“Really think you need one?”
I shivered, recognizing the silliness of my last statement. Their own clothes were laid out on a bench nearby, next to a whole stack of towels.
“C’mon, get in here,” Chase urged. “Three naked guys drinking beers in a hot tub is a lot less weird with a girl in the mix.”
The others toasted his statement. I hesitated only another second or two before shrugging out of my clothes.
“Better hurry,” Nathan teased. I realized he was staring directly at my tits. “Looks like the ladies are cold.”
Two hands reached for me, helping me from either side as I ascended the little three-step cedar staircase. Then I was stepping into the frothy, super-hot water. Letting it slip over my knees, my thighs, my stomach… sinking all the way down, allowing the soothing warmth to flow all the way up to my neck.
“This is almost better than sex!” I screamed, as the heat took every ounce of chill from my body. Almost fully submerged, I noticed the wind was gone too. The cabin itself, plus two lattice walls, shielded us from three sides.
“Good thing you said almost,” Nathan joked. “Or we might have something to prove later.”
I smirked at him knowingly. “Like it’s gonna stop you anyway.”
He laughed again. “You’re probably right.”
I settled in between Chase and Burke, relishing in the skin-on-skin feel of their naked legs against mine. Two hands settled high on my thighs, each moving independently beneath the swirling, waters.
Nathan reached back and pulled another beer from the snow. He twisted the cap free and held it out to me smoothly. I laughed as I reached for it.
“Trying to get me drunk and sloppy?”
“Drunk, who knows? Sloppy for sure, though.”
“Sloppy definitely,” winked Chase.
I sighed with happiness this time, tilting my head back to drink my beer and look up at the sky. Big flakes of snow still fell lazily from above. It was the perfect end to a very long day.
“Now this…” I said firmly, “is awesome.”
“Damn straight,” Nathan said.
“Better that awesome,” Burke added.
We talked some more, but mostly we just relaxed. Physically the waters were rejuvenating, but mentally we were letting the rest of the day’s worries drain away. By the time I finished my beer and started another, I’d forgotten completely about deadlines, Jay the creepy publisher, and everything else in the world.
Everything else but Chase, Nathan, and Burke.
Eventually the heat and the beer-buzz had my head spinning pleasantly. The hands on my thighs were riding ever upward as well. Mentally, I was placing bets on which one of them would reach the prize first. My money would’ve been on Chase, but then Burke pulled me abruptly toward him with both hands, sweeping me into his lap.
“C’mere.”
He kissed me, and I swooned from the strength and power of his embrace. My breasts were above water again. I could feel the cold air, trying to bite them. But they were too warm, even wet…
“I’ve been waiting for this all day,” he murmured into my ear.
Burke shifted me again, swinging one of my legs over his torso. He had his hands on my hips. He face, buried in the warm wet valley of my chest. Down below, I could feel a thick bulge, pressing against me. And then suddenly, into me as well…
“Ohhhhhh…” I sighed aloud.
My arms slid over his shoulders as I ground all the way down on his thick, incredibly hot shaft. Between the water and my own lubrication, it felt like being injected with lava.
“Fuuuuuck.”
We came face to face again, mouth to mouth. His kisses were another source of heat, his tongue moving eagerly against mine as I bounced slowly up and down on his thick, hard cock.
“You guys are making waves,” Chase laughed, after a minute or so. “Literally.”
We were, actually. Water was sloshing over the edge of the hot tub, spilling out into the rapidly melting snow.
But I was too far gone to care.
“Here,” said Nathan, sliding over to sit next to us. “Let me have some.”
Burke kept on fucking me, his hands on my hips. Guiding my body up and down in his lap. Kissing me like there was no tomorrow.
“Don’t hog her, man.”
Eventually we broke the kiss. I smiled and reached for Nathan, stroking him a few times beneath the water. He was hard as a rock. Totally ready.
In an absurd moment, Burke lifted me from his cock and placed me right on top of his friend. Nathan drilled me to the core in one shot.
God…
My head flew back, my brain rushing with new levels of euphoria as I closed my eyes against the falling snow. I could feel soft flakes, landing lightly against my face. Melting there like tears of joy, as two mouths closed over my pert nipples from either side…
Holy fuck.
Chase and Burke were kissing and nibbling simultaneously, each cupping their own breast. I grabbed their heads. Pulled them tightly against me, as I felt the sharp sting of teeth from my lover on the right.
Burke…
He knew I loved this. Out of them all, he knew exactly how hard to go, what level of pain still translated to pleasure.
Ohhhhh…
I let go completely, my body melting against Nathan’s smooth, beautiful chest. He was so deep inside me it almost hurt. His magnificently hard cock was churning… grinding… surging…
“Here,” he murmured, somewhere close to my ear. He slid back, until I was almost laying on him. “Take her.”
The message was obviously not for me. I knew it from the words, but also because Nathan’s hands were on my asscheeks now. He was pulling them apart, gently. Slowly spreading them wide…
And then I felt Chase’s hands go to my hips from behind…
… and my already-thundering heart skipped two whole beats.

KAYLEEN
My body knew exactly what Chase was about to do, what was about to happen to me next. Even so, my mind still couldn’t believe it.
“Go slow…”
Burke laughed. Nathan and I had spoken in stereo, saying the exact same thing, at exactly the same time.
Holy. Fucking. Shit.
I took a deep breath, then let it out slowly. Nathan’s gaze was fixated on mine. Our eyes remained locked.
“Relax,” he practically whispered. “You’re going to enjoy this.”
My mind raced with a thousand thoughts, a million conflicted feelings. Had they done this before? With Dana?
It certainly seemed that way. Either that, or they were entirely too comfortable with occupying the same space, on the same woman, at the same time.
Relax Kayleen…
I bit my lip in anticipation, as the fulfillment of a lifelong fantasy was about to take place. I’d imagined being double-penetrated before, in my wildest, craziest sexual dreams. And now…
Now Chase was sliding his cock into my willing pussy… right alongside his best friend.
“MmmmMMmmmMMMmmm…”
I made noises I’d never made before. Probably because it felt like nothing I’d ever felt before. I was being fucked by two guys, in the same tight little hole. At exactly the same time.
“Oh my God…”
I felt Chase bear down on me from behind. My body accepted his weight, even as Nathan held me tightly from the front. Inch by inch, he pushed inside. Filling me. Stretching me…
And then suddenly there it was; the satisfying feel of his abs pressed tightly against my back. He was inside me! All the way in. All the way alongside his friend, sharing the same space. Sharing my pussy.
Sharing me.
“Do it slow,” I gasped. “Please.”
They held me there for a few seconds, not moving at all. Allowing me to get accustomed to their combined thickness.
“Don’t worry beautiful,” Chase whispered. His lips nuzzled my ear now. “You got this.”
He slid out slowly… then all the way back in. I held my breath, waiting for the other shoe to drop. Only it never did. There was only pleasure. Pleasure, and this insane feeling of fullness. Of completion.
Holy fuck holy fuck holy fuck…
I was ensconced in warm, wet flesh. Pinned between two hard bodies, two men who’d shared me, who’d taken care of me.
Two men who loved me.
Really?
My lips parted and my mouth opened in plump, perfect ‘O’. Then I felt Nathan move too. His cock, pumping into me from beneath.
Yes, I decided, somewhere in the furthest recesses of my mind. I truly thought they did.
“That’s it. Nice and easy.”
Nathan was kissing the hollow of my throat, just as Chase was slowing tonguing my ear. Two lovers, taking me as one. Doing what they’d done to someone else, over and over again, honing their skills, perfecting the act…
An act they were now performing on me.
A twinge of jealousy surged through me at the thought of Dana enjoying them like this, but it was swept quickly away by the intoxicating pleasure between my legs. The past was the past. This was here, this was now. This was… this was…
This was totally fucking insane.
“You like that?” Chase whispered, grinding hard on his latest thrust. I nodded, gasping.
“It’s so fucking tight.”
I could feel the warmth of the water, surging into me. The feeling of the both of them, gliding in and out. Sometimes they moved together, as one. Other times it was like two thick pistons, driving into me in an alternating rhythm. One would leave, but in the same instant, the other would thrust inside.
I was always full, always packed… but it was just as good on the outside, too. When they weren’t holding me steady, their hands wandered my body. Their muscles flexed, adjusting me to whatever position they wanted.
Ohhh…
They shifted me back onto them, whenever I thrashed mindlessly away. Screwed me down against their hard, thick cocks — impaling me from beneath and behind. I looked up and saw Burke, staring back at me intently. He shot me a look of wicked approval as his eyes locked onto mine.
Ohhh God…
My impending climax rumbled in the back of my brain, fighting its way forward. It was huge. Tremendous. An orgasm to end all orgasms.
When it hit, it eclipsed everything else.
“UNGHHH!”
I was lost for about a minute, as my mind all but left my body behind. My jaw clenched, my eyes screwed shut, and then suddenly I was coming… screaming and coming and shouting with pleasure. Maybe even cursing too, for all I knew, as my brain was rewarded with a delicious flood of dopamine and endorphins.
My stomach tightened. My pussy clenched. My thighs screwed tightly together as everything in the world dissolved into nothingness. I was floating on a cloud of euphoria-laced convulsions that seemed to go on forever. They slammed into me again and again, each one washing over me with more pure white pleasure than the last.
I came to totally limp and spent, sprawled across Nathan’s hard chest. My two lovers were holding my body upright. Sweeping long locks of my wet hair backward, away from my face.
“You okay?” Nathan chuckled.
I was confused at first. Then gradually, I came around. I could still feel them, buried inside me. Still hard. Still throbbing.
“Did you…”
“Not yet, honey.”
My pussy was still delivering aftershocks that caused me to twitch with pleasure. The top half of my body was getting cold. The bottom half was still sweltering.
“C’mon,” said Chase. “Let’s get you out of this hot tub and into a warm, dry bed.”
“I— I wouldn’t mind a cold bottle of water, either,” I said.
Nathan grunted as he lifted me up from his lap and deposited me straight into Burke’s waiting arms. Chin to ankles, he wrapped me in towels.
“Done.”

KAYLEEN
I woke in an all new place, to the sounds of distant laughter. Beyond the strange door of the cozy little bedroom, I could hear familiar voices.
And through the window… impossibly bright sunlight streaming in.
Oh my God!
I leapt from the bed, and found myself in a T-shirt and sweat-shorts. I couldn’t remember putting them on. In fact, the shorts were on backwards.
“The hot tub…”
My voice broke against the walls of the empty room. My throat was hoarse and dry. My eyelids were still gummed as I turned the knob and pulled the door open.
Chase and Nathan were in the kitchen, or rather, the kitchenette. I could smell eggs and coffee, and something else. They were burning something for sure.
“Hey sexy,” said Chase.
Toast maybe.
“Well look who finally showed up?” Nathan chided.
I ran one hand through a damp tangle of sweaty hair. Or was it wet hair? That made a lot more sense.
“W—What time is it?”
“Almost eleven,” Chase declared.
“Holy shit.”
“Nah,” he said, with the sweep of one hand. “Holy nothing. You’re on vacation, remember? Eleven’s okay.”
