Coming Full Circle

Lilly
opened her eyes to the sound of a phone ringing. She didn’t move for a moment,
and when the ringing stopped she tried to go back to sleep. A second later, the
phone rang again, and she rubbed her eyes. She glanced at the clock, noticing
that she’d slept for three hours, and that she was alone in the spare bedroom.
The bed beside her was chilled when she ran her hand over it, and she glanced
at the open bedroom door. The ringing was coming from Riley’s study. She threw
the covers off, but grabbed the lightweight throw that was on the end of the
bed, wrapping it around her body. She went into the office, not knowing if she
should answer or not, but deciding it wouldn’t hurt.

Picking
up the phone, she leaned her hip against the desk. “Hello?”

“Hey,
baby.”
Tallin’s
deep voice came through the phone,
and she smiled, her pussy instantly becoming wet.

“Hey.”
The images from her night with him filled her head, and then images of her and
Riley, too. Riley had known she’d slept with
Tallin
.
Did Riley tell
Tallin
that they’d been together, too?

“I’m
still in town, and Riley wanted me to give you a call and let you know he had
an emergency at the clinic, but that he’d be home later.”

“Okay.”

“Did
I wake you, baby?”

“Yes,
but that’s okay. I needed to get up anyway.” She grabbed her clothes off the
floor and balanced the phone between her ear and shoulder as she dropped the
throw and got dressed. She wanted to talk to them about everything, but she
wasn’t about to do that over the phone. If they were going to go through with
it—the three of them together—they needed to sit down, face-to-face, and
discuss this.

 
“So when will you be back? Did Riley say when
he’d be back?” She was surprised at how normal things felt after what she’d
done with them. She hadn’t spoken to
Tallin
since
they’d been intimate, and even though she thought it would be awkward, she was
happy it wasn’t. “I can make us lunch, or an early dinner?”

“That’s
all right, baby. I already ate in town. I’m not sure when I’ll be back though,
and who knows when Riley will be home. The storm has already started moving
through, so I’m trying to get more supplies.”

She’d
only thought of going back to her cabin once since she’d been at Riley’s, and
honestly had no desire to leave them, even if she could have made it down the
mountain and back into town.

“Be
safe. I wouldn’t want you to get stuck out there in the storm.” She’d heard on
the radio this second storm was supposed to be worse than the previous one.

“I’ll
be safe. Stay inside and keep warm, and we’ll be home as soon as possible.”
There was a beat of silence, just the sound of their breathing filling the dead
air.

“I
have no intention of going outside.” She could hear
Tallin
speaking with someone in his deep, commanding voice. Her nipples beaded up in
arousal at the sound, at his dominance. Then the background noise faded and she
only heard
Tallin’s
even breathing.

“I
miss you, Lilly.”

She
smiled, her heart clenching. “I miss you, too,
Tallin
,”
she whispered. “We have a lot to talk about when you two get home.”

“Yeah,
we do, and I’m looking forward to that, baby.”

She
smiled even though he couldn’t see her. She was looking forward to that
conversation, too.

“I
love you.”

“I
love you, too, baby. Everything will be the way it’s supposed to be.”

She
knew
Tallin
spoke the truth, but she did hope things
would work out as perfectly as she envisioned them to.

****

Lilly
stood in the living room staring out the picture window as the sun set over the
Rockies. She took a sip of her tea, the smell of the dinner she made still
thick in the air. She’d tried to call
Tallin
, but she
just kept getting his voicemail, and her nerves were bothering her over the
fact neither of the men were back yet. Riley was a doctor, and occasionally did
house calls, or was on call for emergencies, so he might be gone for longer
than she was comfortable with if it was an emergency, but
Tallin
should have been home by now, or at least she assumed.

“It’s
okay. Everything will be okay,” she whispered to herself.

She
turned from the window and went back to the fire she’d made. She watched the
flames lick over the wood, trying to keep her thoughts from going to anything
morbid. She drew her eyes to the mantel and glanced at the picture of the four
of them. Even though she had seen that picture a million times, it never got
old. Standing, she went over to the mantel and picked up the picture, her
reflection staring back from the glass at her in a sad way. She ran her gaze
over Christian, his auburn hair sticking up everywhere and the sun making his
freckles more pronounced. Remembering all the wonderful times they’d shared,
she ran her finger over his face. He had kindness and warmth, an energy that
filled him that couldn’t be matched. He’d been her shoulder to cry on, her ear
to talk off. Christian had been the one she’d shared all of her problems with,
and now he was gone.

She
heard gravel crunch outside and turned her attention to the window.
Tallin’s
heavy-duty truck, the back of it filled with boxes
and bags, rolled to a stop. Seconds later Riley’s Honda Pilot pulled to a stop
next to the truck. They both got out, a bouquet of flowers in both of their
hands as they scowled at each other. She couldn’t help but smile. She knew that
even though Christian was no longer alive, he would always be with them, and
want them to be happy.

A
few minutes later, the front door opened and closed, and they called out for
her. She was suddenly so nervous about seeing them together for the first time
after they had been intimate. Would it be strange to see them and talk to
together after what they had done? It hadn’t been hard on the phone with
Tallin
, but actually seeing someone’s face was a lot
different from hearing their voices.

She
rounded the corner and stopped. They both stood by the door, Riley in a pair of
scrubs, his short hair damp from what was most likely a recent shower at the
hospital, a bouquet of yellow tulips in his hand.
Tallin
stood beside him in a pair of loose faded jeans, his distressed brown leather
jacket open, and the black Henley peeking out from under it. He held a bouquet
of pink roses out and smiled at her.

They
held out their bouquets, and she blushed as she walked up to them and took them
from their hands. It wasn’t until she saw the middle flower in each of the
bouquets that she started to cry, not able to hold it in. In the center of the
tulips and roses sat a single white lily—the same ones Christian used to give
her. The tears streamed down her face, and she closed her eyes. She knew they’d
placed those lilies in remembrance of Christian. The thought alone touched her
heart so much that if she didn’t already love these men, she would have fallen
for them at that moment.

She
opened her eyes and looked up. They took those few extra steps toward her and
wrapped their arms around her. She didn’t doubt that they knew what her tears
were for, but they didn’t call her out on it, just held her.

“How
did I get so lucky?” she said, and their arms tightened around her.

“No,
we’re the ones that are lucky.”
 
Tallin’s
deep voiced rumbled through her.

“You
complete us, Lilly. We’d be nothing without you,” Riley said and kissed the top
of her head.

She
cried harder, and even though she was sad, she was so happy.

****

Lilly
sat on the couch in the living room staring at the fire.
Tallin
sat beside her, a beer in hand,
his
body close to
hers. Riley sat on the floor, his back to the couch, his arm thrown over her
leg.

She
laid her head on
Tallin’s
shoulder, and just absorbed
the feeling of being with both of them. They hadn’t spoken about any of this,
any of the togetherness that she’d wanted to bring up. But they had time. She
knew they had all the time in the world.

Now
she was just enjoying being with her guys—the fire burning brightly as the snow
fell fiercely outside. The lights started to flicker, and everyone stopped what
they were doing and looked around. Soon the lights went completely off, the
only illumination coming from the flames in front of them.

The wind howled outside, and she could hear the hard pieces of
snow and ice slamming against the window with the storm’s acceleration.
Suddenly the room became heavy, the air seeming to electrify as she looked
between Riley and
Tallin
, both of whom were staring
at her. She swallowed thickly, watching as
Tallin
turned and faced her fully, and pulled her over until she was straddling his
lap.
Tallin
looked at Riley, both of them saying
something without actually speaking.

“We should talk about all of this, baby,”
Tallin
said.

“We should,” Riley responded.

She looked at both of them and nodded. “You know I am in love with
both of you, and you know I want a relationship with you both.”

They nodded.

“As long as this is what you want, then I just want to move on
with our lives … together.”

The silence was thick, and both men looked at each other.

“We want you, Lilly. We want to share you.” They both seemed to
say at the same time.

What was about to happen would change everything irrevocably, and
she was looking forward to it.

Chapter Thirteen

And Three Makes It Complete

She
stared into
Tallin’s
eyes, shyness filling her at the
idea that Riley was right behind her, watching her, watching them. Even though
she remembered what Riley said about them being okay with all of this, with
sharing her, she’d never been with two men before, and she’d be lying if she
didn’t admit it scared her a little.

Tallin
cupped her cheeks and brought her
lips to his. His kiss was gentle and coaxing, probing at the entrance of her
mouth with his tongue until she submitted to him. She was tense, unsure of how
to proceed, but the more he coaxed her, the more she became willing, heated,
and accepting.

His
palms grazed down her cheeks and caressed the side of her neck before sliding
down her shoulders and gripping her waist. His movements were slow and
unhurried, a little different from what she was used to with him, but she liked
it nonetheless. She had the impression he was being soft with her to get her
used to the idea of Riley in the room with them.

And
then she felt Riley’s hands smooth down her shoulders, and she tensed slightly,
not from fear or nerves, but because she was trying to allow herself to go with
this. She might be in love with them, but she’d also never been with two men
before, least of all her two best friends.

Tallin
broke the kiss and breathed
against her ear. “Relax, baby. We’re here to take care of you, to make you feel
good. Trust us.” He tilted her head slightly back and stared into her eyes
before moving forward again and kissing her neck.

Lilly
turned her head and searched Riley’s face. He shifted onto his knees and leaned
forward, pressing his lips to hers. His mouth was soft, his movements tentative
yet loving. The caress of his tongue brought her arousal up another notch, made
her pussy tingle and her nipples swell. He pulled back, and she breathed in
deeply, gazing into his lust-covered face before turning her attention back to
Tallin
.

She
nodded, not actually saying this was what she wanted, but knowing they knew her
affirmation nonetheless.
Tallin
leaned up and kissed
her more passionately, and at the same time Riley skimmed his fingers down her
spine.
Tallin’s
tongue dueled with hers, taking
possession of her while Riley slipped his hands under her shirt and cupped her
breasts. Riley kissed the middle of her back at the same time he massaged her
breasts and unlatched her bra. Soon her bra was off and her breasts spilled out.

Riley
covered her breasts again with his hands, his skin smooth and warm, his palms
rubbing over the stiff tips and causing her breathing to quicken. Riley let go
of the twin mounds and tugged the edge of her shirt, dragging it up and over
her head. The fire, coupled with Riley and
Tallin’s
body heat, warmed her, had her feeling like she was burning alive. Riley helped
her off
Tallin’s
lap and led her over until they were
standing in front of the fire. He brought her close and kissed her deeply,
cupping the back of her head as his other hand pressed against the small of her
back and drew her closer.

She
could feel the length of his erection. Her pussy became slick at the probing
sensation of his tongue against hers.
Tallin
was
behind her a moment later, and the feel of his bare skin on hers startled her.
He grabbed the waistband of her pants and drew them down her legs. Riley never
broke the kiss, and moved his hand from the small of her back to cup her cheek
and deepen the kiss.
Tallin
helped her out of her
pants and underwear, and in a matter of seconds, she was standing between them
naked.

Tallin
pressed his chest to her back, his
hand smoothing her hair over her shoulder as he kissed the side of her neck.
She shivered from the intensity of the sensations. Riley’s tongue continued to
slowly fuck her mouth while
Tallin’s
hot, thick cock
pressed firmly against the small of her back. Their combined heavy breathing
spurred her arousal and made her nipples and clit swell with need, harden and
pulse with lust.

Tallin
lifted her arms and placed them on
Riley’s shoulders. He smoothed his big palms down her arms and cupped her
breasts, his fingers twisting and pinching her already elongated nipples and
making them harder. She moaned into Riley’s mouth, her sounds seeming to spur
his actions as he moved his tongue in her mouth with more fervor. Riley
tightened his hand on her neck and started to push his hips against her in a
rhythmic motion.

Tallin
let go of her breasts, cupped her
bottom, and massaged her cheeks. He slipped his finger between her thighs and
teased the opening of her pussy with his thick finger. He was breathing heavily
behind her, his shaft seeming to swell and become harder against her back.
Riley broke the kiss momentarily. His pupils were dilated as he stared down at
her. He lifted his shirt over his head, and she gazed down with feminine
appreciation at the abdomen that was revealed.

“Take
my pants off, Lilly.” Riley’s voice sounded hoarse and strained.

She
moved her trembling hands from his shoulders, down his chiseled chest, and to
the white drawstring that held his lounge pants on. He’d changed out of his
scrubs before dinner, but she almost wished he still had those on, a secret
little turn-on she hadn’t yet revealed. Once she had the tie on his pants
loosened, the material fell to the floor. He wore nothing beneath them, and her
mouth went dry at the sight of all those hard, long inches straining toward
her.

Riley
cleared his throat. “Touch me, Lilly.”

Tallin’s
lips were still on the side of her
neck, and he licked and nipped while delving his fingers into her pussy and
teasing her clit. She moaned when his thumb brushed against the hard bundle of
nerves at the same time his middle finger moved across her G-spot. If
Tallin
kept that up, she wouldn’t be able to stand for much
longer.

She
reached her hand out, ran a finger down Riley’s shaft, and cupped the heavy sac
beneath it. She stared at him the whole time. His jaw was clenched, and he
briefly closed his eyes.

“Don’t
tease me, Lilly.” He panted out the words, his voice nothing more than a deep
rumble.

She
gripped his erection and started to slowly stroke its length, running the heel
of her hand over his thick crown with each down swipe. She cupped his balls
with her hand and caressed the twin weights until he was soon pumping into her
fist of his own accord.

“Lean
against me, baby.”

She
did as
Tallin
said, resting her weight against his
massive chest, feeling his cock press against her back as if demanding
attention. She breathed hard when
Tallin
started
pumping his fingers mercilessly inside of her. She stroked Riley’s cock in time
with
Tallin’s
thrusting fingers. All three of them
were making low, groans of pleasure that heightened the experience. She pumped
her fist harder, faster, and spread her legs wider. The dual sensations were
driving her closer to orgasm.

“Stop,
baby, or I’m going to come.”

Riley
pushed her hand away, his chest rising and falling rapidly. He then leaned in
and took her mouth in a brutal kiss.

Tallin
bit her shoulder. The slight sting
coupled with his plunging fingers had her climax exploding through her body.
She grunted against Riley’s mouth and rode out the pleasure, pumping her hips
on
Tallin’s
hand as if it were a cock.
Tallin’s
fingers made wet, sucking noises as he pumped into
her clenching pussy hole.

She
broke the kiss and leaned her head against
Tallin’s
chest. Her mouth was open slightly, and she sucked in air and stared wide-eyed
at the ceiling. Her legs threatened to give out, and
Tallin
helped her onto the thick, plush rug in front of the fireplace. He grabbed her
arms and spread them above her head.

They
lay on each side of her,
Tallin
turning her head and
claiming her mouth as Riley sucked one of her nipples. She cried into his mouth
at the pleasure they were igniting in her. The feelings going through her were
intense, like nothing she’d ever experienced before.

Riley
spoke around her breasts, his hand slowly inching its way toward her pussy.
“Spread your thighs for me, Lilly. Let me suck on your sweet little pussy.”

Moisture
rushed out of her at those words, and she bent her knees and spread her legs.
Riley immediately took the place between her thighs, pressing her legs back and
higher so they rested on her chest. She was spread unbelievably wide, her pussy
on display like a feast. His mouth latched onto her clit and sucked forcefully.
She cried out against
Tallin’s
lips, Riley’s mouth
wringing out the pleasure until she was a writhing mass on the ground.
Tallin
broke the kiss, got on his knees beside her, and
looked down at her while he stroked his shaft.

“I
want your pretty mouth on my cock, baby.”

She
wanted it, too, so badly. She sat up and braced her upper body on her elbows.
Tallin
guided his cock toward her, the thick tip already
glistening at the slit when he ran it over her lips. He pushed the wide crown
into her mouth, and she sucked it in, looking up at him as she hummed in
satisfaction. Riley continued to torment her pussy, spreading her pussy lips
wide with his thumbs, running his tongue up and down her cleft, and spearing it
into her clenching hole.

She
tried to take as much of
Tallin’s
dick into her mouth
as she could, but he was so thick that she could only engulf half of it. She
ran her tongue around the bulbous head, moving her head up and down as she
moaned from the pleasure they were both giving her, in the lust she was getting
from them.

Lilly
made sure to pay close attention to the slit at the tip, running her tongue
along and gently pressing into it and tasting the saltiness that was strictly
him. Soon
Tallin’s
hips were moving forward, his cock
pushing in and out of her mouth. His deep growls and Riley’s expert tongue
drove her closer and closer to another orgasm.

“Come
in my mouth.” Riley’s words were muffled against her swelled flesh.

She
relaxed her throat and let
Tallin
do the work. Her
eyes widened with her impending climax. The tightening in her back signaled how
close she really was. In the next instant,
Tallin
pulled his cock out of her mouth as her orgasm claimed her. She dropped back on
the floor and threw her head back, crying out with the pleasure pouring through
her.

“Yes,”
she moaned, bracing her legs on the ground and thrusting her pussy onto Riley’s
mouth as he continued to suck and lick at her slit.
Tallin
caressed her breasts, pinching her nipples until it bordered on pain, but it
felt so good. Riley grunted against her wet flesh, his hands gripping her
thighs as he ran his tongue around her outer labia, nipping the sensitive flesh
before sucking her clit back in the hot cavern of his mouth.

When
her climax finally ebbed, she lay there exhausted and sated. Her eyes were
closed, and she felt Riley and
Tallin
move next to
her. They roamed their hands over her and kissed every piece of exposed flesh.
Her body still clenched with the aftereffects of the pleasure they had caused,
her pussy was still incredibly wet, and the need still pulsated through her.

“Are
we making you feel good?”

She
turned her head and smiled at Riley after he spoke, his eyes half lidded as he
stared down at her. She nodded, not trusting herself to speak.

“That’s
good, that’s real good, love, because we’re about to make you feel so much
better.”
