The Irresistible Bundle (105 page)

Carina's brilliant smile takes my breath away. I bask in her love and faith. "And I love them both" she declares. "They're mine and I'm theirs."

"How can you all feel so involved?" Ignacio looks between us three, "Surely one of you must feel left out at times."

Oh, I wasn't touching this one. That's akin to stepping in a minefield and expecting not to make contact with anything. Desirae cackles with delight. Go figure she'd go there.

"Get your mind out of the gutter" Ignacio huffs. He actually blushes making everyone else laugh aloud. "I didn't mean it that way" he flings his hands in the air exasperated with Desirae and Griffin's raucous laughter. They lean over in their seats ready to fall out.

"Pa" Diego chuckles, "It's kinda hard not to think of it that way." He cringes surely envisioning something he doesn't want to see.

"That was one of our concerns as well" V decides to be the mature one and bring the conversation back. "Communication, transparency, and trust are crucial. There's no room for insecurity and jealousy in our relationship. We're three individuals with differing needs. Thankfully our intricate pieces fit beautifully and our relationship works."

"Y'all are fucking poets" Desirae raises her glass in a toast. Carina rolls her eyes at Des' brass statement. I blow her a kiss thanking her. We aren't exactly holding hands and skipping down the street but I'll take this as a good first step.

"To unconventional yet loving relationships" Diego toasts.

"Here! Here!" we raise our glasses and toast to his statement. Our plates are whisked away. A plate of flan is placed in front of Carina and Desirae.

"You touch my piece you die," Carina growls. I bite my lip trying not to laugh aloud. Desirae had jacked the last piece of flan over Thanksgiving leaving Carina without a morsel. If she hadn't still been injured I'm convinced Des would've been running for safety.

"Man you're touchy about that" Desirae scrunches her face in disbelief.

"No one's ever warned you not to get between Carina and her flan?" Yolanda laughs. Her teasing remark lifts the weight off V and my shoulders. Carina already looks relaxed but we needed a more obvious sign that all was well in their world.

"Ladies" Diego stands from his seat, "I believe you owe Griffin and I a rematch..."

The entire table groans as Carina shoots from her seat. "Mario Karts or Guitar Hero"

"I'll referee them" Yolanda sighs. V and I smirk at the departing group. She knows her children well.

"Mr. Lobos" V quietly states as the others vacate the room. "Marco and I did want to discuss one more thing with you."

Ignacio hesitantly sits back down. He looks between the two of us. Fuck... if V's already going to ask what I think he plans to ask then... shit.... The overeager ass isn't even going to let them digest this before going for the jugular. Talk about a one-two combo to knock him the fuck out.

"Marco and I know Carina is the one. As you know we're approaching 30. We've experienced plenty of relationships. We're solid in our careers. We want to take that next step with Carina."

"But isn't that the opposite for my daughter?" Ignacio challenges. "She's young and inexperienced."

"But she's not naïve" V interjects. "Part of the reason why Marco became a part of our relationship was because Carina and I weren't initially exclusive. I understood the fact that she was young and still experiencing things. I didn't want to hold her back and I didn't want her constantly wondering what she was missing. We're now exclusive - the three of us, but it was after speaking in depth and agreeing where we wanted to go in this relationship."

"So you want to propose marriage?" Ignacio squeaks. For such a refined man it's kind of funny watching him squirm. I'm unsure if I'm hurt or grateful about his demeanor. Carina has a good head on her shoulders and this family is the reason why. She's independent, loving, caring, and an overall phenomenal human being. Carina truly is a product of the three people who have raised her well.

"We want to present her with a commitment ring" V replies, "A step above a promise ring but not quite an engagement ring. She's been telling us that she's not ready to get married but she's also hinted at wanting more. Because this is a unique circumstance, Marco and I wanted your blessing. We don't intend to present it until closer to Valentine's Day but we weren't sure if we'd be seeing each other in person again before then."

Ignacio leans back absorbing his words. "And the ring won't look like an engagement ring but it'll be more than a simple thin-banded promise ring."

"Yes sir" we reply in unison. "We've ordered a custom-made ring with a pink heart-shaped diamond. If you'd like we can send you a picture when it's complete." I offer. Mr. Lobos needs to know that we're serious; we'd gone so far as making a ring as unique as our beloved.

"She's too young"

"We want her to finish school and we've already promised Desirae that we won't ask her to move in together until she's finished her senior year." V states matter-of-factly as if it's perfectly acceptable that we've already discussed this with her best friend and not them.

"She plans on getting her Masters" Ignacio warns.

"Wonderful" I commend. There's no way we'd ever impede on her education. She just won't be living on campus during that time.

"She's still too young" He insists. Ignacio is grasping at thin air and we all know it.

"We're not asking for her hand in marriage tomorrow or next year" I firmly reply. It's a relief to hear that his biggest concern is that she's too young not that I keep emphasizing the
we
in our relationship.

"Then it'll give all of us time to get acclimated to this" he solemnly replies. "But know this," his eyes flare "I'll fuck up anyone who harms her in any fashion. I don't give a damn if there are two of you. We may not share the same blood but she's my daughter through and through."

My chest tightens with the memory of her recent attack. Diego had done everything in his power to keep the information regarding Carina's assault and injuries from their parents for as long as possible. From the little I was gathering Ignacio Lobos was a force in and of himself. Pete was lucky if he still had his balls intact after this was all over. The Lobos family was going after him with everything they had, and they had plenty of contacts and favors owed to them to make things happen. Ignacio was already proving that he didn't have to come after someone physically, like how Diego had when he nearly pulverized Pete, to annihilate them.

"Understood" V acknowledges at the same time that I respond "Fair enough." We've been warned.

"Do we have your blessing to give her a commitment ring?" V doesn't hesitate. He wants to ensure there's no misunderstanding when we get on that plane and return home.

"You have our blessings to give her a commitment ring. You'll have to prove yourselves for blessings regarding an engagement ring. Maybe by then you can explain to me how this will all work out legally" Ignacio exhales a frustrated breath. It's something we've only touched upon. Who on paper, will be legally married to Carina, and how we'd do the whole kid thing. Those were givens in a one-on-one relationship but an entirely differently ordeal when it came to our situation. I've dreamed of the impossible: Carina marrying both of us and having at least one of each of our kids, maybe even carrying them at the same time.

Hey, I can dream big right?

"And I better not hear that you've knocked her up" Ignacio growls. At least the man isn't stupid; or completely ignorant of the facts. His daughter is dating two grown ass men. Only a fool would think she was celibate.

Desirae screaming obscenities gets us out of our seats. We jog over to the game room where Griffin rolls around the floor howling with laughter while Diego tries everything to pry Desirae off his back. Carina just stands next to her mother unfazed by the spectacle.

"You cheating bastard" Desirae shrieks. Yolanda's horrified expression quickly morphs to humor as no one seems concerned by the attack. "This entire time you and Griffin have been pulling that shit!"

"I told you not to let them team up" Carina snickers. "They play dirty."

"You should've seen her face" Griffin wheezes from the carpet. "She was actually surprised!"

"You mean Desirae actually believed you boys wouldn't cheat because Yolanda was present" Ignacio chortles. "Des, sweetie, you must realize that for them it's the thrill of not getting caught. The higher the stakes the bigger the rush"

"Firecracker" I call out over the raucous, "Did you bring any of your arsenal?" She immediately understands what I'm implying. Her eyes grow wide, sizzling with revenge. Desirae rolls off Diego and takes off to a different part of the house.

Diego quickly straightens looking around for his attacker. He blanches at her abrupt departure. Desirae is a violent little thing.

"What do you mean by
arsenal
" Yolanda warily inquires. Griffin and Diego's eyes widen as Carina bends over laughing.

"You are so fucked" she crows just as Desirae flies back in the room with a switch in her hands.

"Shit" Griffin squeals before bowling over Diego and taking off to the opposite side of the room.

"Idiots" V mutters loud enough for Ignacio and me to hear.

"Putting $50 that she makes contact with both before they can get past her and out the room." I smugly state. I have no doubt that Des could beat the snot out of both of them if she really puts her mind to it.

Ignacio's jaw drops at my statement. Diego climbs the pool table swearing at Griffin about how this was his fault.

"Man up you two pansies" Desirae barks. "Which one of you cream puffs is gonna take it like a man?"

Diego and Griffin points at each other only pissing Desirae further off while making us guffaw with laughter. Ignacio holds his hand out. "I'm betting $50 that she'll make contact with one but not both. There's just no way."

We shake hands as V somberly pats Ignacio on the back. "It's like taking candy from a toddler."

"You mean a baby" I correct.

"You aren't supposed to give candy to a baby but you can a toddler" V indignantly replies.

"But that's not how the saying goes" I argue.

"Semantics" V waves me off. "Pay attention... it's about to get really entertaining."

Diego points at Desirae from the middle of the billiards table. "If you don't put that thing away I'm going to throw you over my knee and make sure you can't sit for a week!"

Desirae's eyes glitter. She straightens her spine but keeps her knees bent. "Diego baby you're not supposed to be talking dirty to me in front of your parents."

V chuckles seeing it all unfold before it actually happens. Griffin the moron falls for Desirae's act. The moment he thinks she's relaxed enough he takes off. Diego moves forward trying to distract the spitfire enough to debate who she should beat first. But what the two severely underestimate are Desirae's abilities with any kind of implement such as what she holds in her hand. She flicks her wrist the moment Griffin gets within reach. The crack in the air makes us all flinch. Griffin wails before tripping on his feet and face-planting into the carpet. He rolls away from Des before she can get another shot.

Diego takes advantage of his best friend's misfortune and jumps off the table. Desirae's continuous motion makes a full circle wrapping the switch around Diego's waist.
Thwack
and a howl are the only sounds heard before Desirae marches back out of the room taking the horrid switch with her.

"And that folks is why you don't fuck with Des" Carina smugly states. Ignacio gawks for a few minutes before realizing that he owes me money. He mutters oaths of injustice as he hands me the cash. And Griffin and Diego - yeah, they tuck their tails and go soak in a tub of ice.

Ah, first impressions. Gotta love Des for always making things memorable.

TANTRIC TEACHER

"I wish you could've stayed longer" Yolanda hugs the girls for a long time before moving onto showering Diego with kisses.

"We're sorry Ma" Carina's voice slightly warbles. I want to pull her into my arms and remind her that we'll be back in no time. I really wish we could've stayed the full two weeks but V and I have already been gone long enough and New Year's right around the corner.

"It was a pleasure meeting you" V steps in and kisses Yolanda on the cheek. He turns and shakes Ignacio's hand while I wait to do the same.

"It means everything to us" I softly state to Ignacio "Your blessings..."

"Take care of my corazón" he gruffly replies. I suspect it's a hard pill to swallow knowing his little girl is growing up.

"We promise we will" I state as he pulls me in for a man hug. That move right there is the loudest gesture he could make to me about his acceptance of this entire situation. Not only has he given his blessings for his daughter but he's also hugged me letting me know he isn't disgusted or afraid of my bisexuality. Talk about a priceless gift.

"Let's go home" V whispers as I pull away. Ignacio squeezes both of our shoulders before kissing the girls one last time. It's so easy to forget that Des is like us - an outsider who's been welcomed into their fold. Damn this feels great.

It's been an emotional week. We've met Carina's family and even gotten her parents blessings. I'm all over the place on the emotional Richter scale. It's more than being in a good place with Carina; it's about ensuring the intricate pieces fit together beautifully. The whole week has left me feeling like a chick; emotional and unsure about everything.

"Why do you keep looking at your phone" Desirae asks with a scowl on her face. Desirae and Diego are like watching a ping-pong match while riding a fucking roller coaster. I can't keep up and if I tried I'd started getting motion sickness.

"Expecting a booty call" Diego retorts. He looks at the oncoming crowd in the airport acting as if he's waiting for someone.

"Oh so I can't get laid but you can" she hisses. Carina's brows raise while V coughs trying to hide his laughter. It's no secret that Des and Carina are sexual Goddesses. They don't function well if they don't get laid after a few days. Des hasn't had sex with us in months and it isn't something we're entertaining anytime soon. As mind-blowing as her mouth and pussy are, V and I really do want to change the dynamics of our relationship.

"There he is" Diego crows. He saunters away towards some magnificent specimen of man in front of us.

"Well I'll be damned" Carina squeals running behind Diego towards the fallen angel.

"Fuck me" Desirae croaks as she watches Carina throw herself into the guy's arms. His laughter travels over to us caressing my skin and soaking into my pores. The bastard is so good looking that I can't get jealous about our girl being all up in his arms. My mind hasn't gotten to that stage yet. Instead I'm too busy ogling, devouring, much more than just staring at the magnificent hunk of man meat. His long, shiny, blue-black hair is the kind girls spent countless hours in the salon for. He must be 6'4" with olive skin, broad shoulders, and arms and legs like fucking tree trunks. If he's packing in the same manner... hot damn...

A killer set of grey eyes with thick lashes lock with mine making all the air rush out of my lungs. He has the kind of fucking eyes that steal breaths and melt brains. If Jaxon is potent this guy is fucking intoxicating. Like jump-in-the-deep-end-and-willingly-drown-yourself-to-be-fully-immersed-in-him kind.

Fuck me every which way and then some. Exclusive? Who could be exclusive with this stud frying your synapses? He's exactly my type. And I won't even get a taste. Fuck me.

"Guys this is Rafe" Diego introduces the man meat standing before us. Rafe. Rafe; I should know that name.
Tantric teacher Rafe.
Isn't that what the girls called him? The guy who taught Carina everything she knows. At last some. V and I have taught her plenty too.

Had she lost her virginity to him or had he had her under him for enough years to be his star pupil? I want to hate the dude but I feel anything but. He flashes a panty-dropping smile at the girls while shaking hands with the guys. The moment our palms touch my dick comes to life. What the... I really need to calm the fuck down.

"You flying with us?" V politely asks. His stiff demeanor makes me realize my error. Maybe I was too openly ogling the man meat. V usually laughs it off but this is different. First we aren't sure if his sudden appearance has anything to do with Carina's images being splattered all over the internet. Second we don't know if he thinks he has any chance of bedding her. Maybe 6 months ago we would've entertained it but not now. Rafe is more likely a nemesis than an ally. He has to prove himself before he thinks he can get chummy with us.

"We're on the same flight but I'm riding coach." Even his fucking pout is hot. Shit. Shit. Shit.

Every nerve ending is alive and on fire. I need Carina to give me a hand job on the plane to help take the edge off. I'd let the flight attendant watch if it meant we wouldn't go to jail for it. Thank fuck he's riding coach. I don't think my body can handle anymore of his pheromones and overall hot male potency.

"Is he staying with Diego and Griffin?" V asks.

"Yeah" Carina replies oblivious to my inner turmoil. "He heads out right after New Year's."

I bite my lip watching V's pronounced frown. I shouldn't enjoy his displeasure like this but it's the sweetest kind of rush. V isn't thrilled with the addition of Rafe to the mix this week but it can't be helped. This is Diego and Carina's old friend and V would never give Troublemaker an ultimatum. Hell, I hope he stakes another claim on her in his presence. There's nothing like Caveman Valentino marking his territory. Jaxon had gotten front row seats and I'm sure he still jacks off to that memory on occasion.

"Do I need to remind you two that we're exclusive now?" V growls softly.

Carina's eyes widen in surprise. I look out the window hoping V doesn't see my smug grin. It's rather perverse how much I love territorial, jealous, and growly Valentino. He can work out his frustrations on me any time.

"Worried about Marco" Diego smirks. Apparently V wasn't as quiet as he intended to be when he made his statement.

Desirae elbows Diego hard enough to make us wince. V winks thanking her for her interference. Overall we're a laid-back group but when V says something he means it. I regret my earlier eye-fucking of Rafe. I don't want it to cause any unnecessary tension between us. I've always been the shameless flirt and outspoken one but I also know when to reel it in. Apparently V's tolerance levels are dissipating.

"Never crossed our minds" Carina replies for the both of us. She cups V's face and kisses him softly trying to provide him with the kind of reassurance we all know he needs. V melts into her visibly shuddering. Our group remains silent, humbled by their quiet display of love and commitment.

Everyone assumes V and I are so secure in our relationship but that isn't necessarily true. Jaxon shifted our foundation but ultimately helped solidify it. The countless men and women that throw themselves our way are nothing more than insignificant occurrences, never once rocking our boat. It seems that whenever there's a person with history that crosses our paths, then and only then, do we step back and reassess. Jaxon's history pales in comparison to Rafe's. From what I could decipher from the girls' playful banter Rafe has been a consistent presence in Carina's life for over four years. That's four years of history that V and I don't have with her. That's four years of shared memories and intimate moments.

"You're staying with us tonight" It's more of a question than a statement. It had been an entire week since she'd slept in a bed with us. An entire week that we'd been denied between her luscious thighs and able to be buried balls deep.

"Of course" she bites her lip while appreciatively eyeing me. "You my love owe me at least five orgasms and so does Boss Man." Her eyes zero in on the bulge in my pants. No point in trying to hide it. Carina always knows what to say and how to say it. I've been pretty damn close to coming in my pants on more than one occasion with just a scorching glance from her or a few whispered words. The little vixen is lethal.

V chuckles beside her. "You want to cash in all ten tonight" he challenges. There've been plenty of morning-afters that Troublemaker's had to waddle out of our place or sit at an angle because she was deliciously sore. Two dicks versus one pussy would do that. Our hot minx was insatiable, which was exactly the type of woman we required.

"Let's see how good your first few are before I make that decision" she purrs. Game on. Carina knows exactly what she's doing. What she didn't bank on is the fact that we have no intention of riding with the rest of them when we leave the airport. She believes she can torture us for a little while more before getting attacked from both sides.

V and I may've been intimate this week but it's never as intense if she's away. Carina frees V's inhibitions. We were buried balls deep with each other this week but V doesn't take me unless she's watching. I got to top this week and I'd taken full advantage of his graciousness but I do miss the feel of his chest to my back and his hips slamming into my ass. No worries though. It won't too much longer before we'll remedy that.

"You can't break her" Desirae warns from the other side of the aisle. "We have performances this week and she has to be able to function."

"We'll take that into account" V growls playfully. His heated stare says otherwise. I see the various scenes playing through his mind.

"We going home or to the estate" just voicing that thought has all the blood rushing to my dick. I shift in my seat trying to get comfortable. My dick wants nothing more than to ram itself within her depths until it explodes.

"Not in the mood to be considerate today" V doesn't say no to being at the estate; he just doesn't want to play by Nic's tedious rules of fucking for the audience's enjoyment. Nic's estate is the closest in proximity from the airport and he has plenty of rooms and toys to play with. After a few orgasms we wouldn't mind giving Carina a few more from objects other than our hands, mouths, and dicks.

"So we won't be" I counter. "Either he gets us a private room or we perform however we want. He should be busy this week. I'm sure there's an audience there that wants to see just raw and real."

"That would be fun" Carina's breathy voice has my blood boiling with pent-up lust. She has an amazing body, all soft curves and tanned skin. Her breasts are both beautiful and functional. I could just as easily stare at them all day as I could play with her nipples or stroke my dick between those succulent globes. She's utter perfection.

"It's settled then" V's throaty agreement has Carina and me squirming in our seats. The seat belt sign flashes at us. I want to kiss the fucking pilot. It won't be much longer.

"Guess that means we're shit out of luck" Griffin grumbles.

"Yup" I agree. I don't care to have any of them in the audience. Even firecracker... because if she goes then it meant the others do and we're not having it. There's no way I want Rafe to watch.

Diego's irritated but we don't really give a shit. He had her on their home territory for a whole week. We're just hoarding her for one afternoon, evening, night. You get the point. They'll survive.
