I was a few minutes late leaving the office but that was fine because everything I needed for dinner was already at home. Zac was somewhat irritated with me because while he’d made advances the night before, I told him he’d have to wait. The first thing I did when I got home was clean up some, the house wasn’t that bad but I just straightened up. I also cleaned up our bedroom and put a sheet over the bed and put the chair where it would need to be for the night. I cleaned up the guest room as well, making sure the sheets were clean. I was in the kitchen when Casey rang the doorbell at 3:10; I walked to the door and let him inside.
“You must be having fun.”
“Homemade brownies from scratch, I’m in flour hell.”
He smiled. “Same room as before?”
“No. You have the one across the hall from our bedroom.”
“Ok. Let me run these up-stairs then.”
I went to the kitchen while he did that. He came in about ten minutes later as the first batch of brownies was going in. He got a glass from the cabinet and got some water and I had a moment to admire Casey. He had dirty blonde hair, bright green eyes; he kept his hair shoulder length. Physically he had soft features but he was rock solid because he worked out. Strength wise I image he could take Zac on, but it would be a struggle for him.
“So, you had to cut the conversation short yesterday.”
“I had too; he was coming into the office.”
I put the first batch of brownies into the oven and started the second batch.
“Two batches?”
“I like regular chocolate but Zac’s favorite is chocolate cherry fudge, his mom’s recipes.”
“So, we were discussing your role in tonight’s events. You said you would be there but just observing?”
I added the eggs to the bowl. “That is right, I’ll just be watching.”
He leaned on the counter. “Why are you not joining?”
I went ahead and finished mixing the second batch and decided what to tell him as I did so. I put them in the oven and then looked at him.
“Because Zac said no, that’s why.”
“You wanted to join us and he told you no?”
I washed my hand and sat down on the stool with the two timers. “Exactly.”
He looked at me for several minutes. “You do not seem fine with that decision. In fact, you seem a little pissed off about it. I cannot image how you feel about allowing him to be with me, when he will not allow you to be with anyone else.”
“A threesome was on my list of wishes, but he believes it should be crossed off because I’ve had one already.”
“Um, how could you? You said Zac was your only partner and then those two that were not willingly.”
It dawned on me that while Casey was told about what occurred the last time he was here, he did not get details about that week, just that they had forced me to have sex and had hit me. He didn’t know anything about the threesome they forced me to be part of.
“Ut oh, I hit a sensitive nerve there. Forget I asked.”
“No, it’s ok.”
I played with the spoon for several moments, deciding how best to explain and what all to say.
“So, you know what occurred last year, with Kate sending Gary and Adam showing up.”
I didn’t realize he’d moved until he gently lifted my head.
“It’s better if you talk to me not the spoon. I know that she did and I know that Adam also came, I heard the audio. Zac asked me not to say anything to anyone about any of that.”
I swallowed. “Zac told you why she did this, to get me to tell someone I was dating him. They used sex as a weapon basically, trying to make it hurt so that I would tell them. Both Gary and Adam liked to be very rough and Adam also liked to bite. They kept asking me and I kept saying no. I did not want to compromise the divorce in any way. The recording you heard was from a Thursday, I had left work early and met a friend and he found out. Anal sex with no lube, no preparation, and he knew it would hurt like hell. While I was passed out afterwards he found one of Zac’s drumsticks, he used those on me.”
The albums came to mind; some had pictures of the drumstick actually hitting me.
“Anyway Adam was there during the week but that weekend Gary came back. I guess they felt with both of them there they would get what they wanted, but I wouldn’t budge, kept telling them no. On Saturday afternoon Gary suggested a three-some, which Adam agreed too. They did do that after an hour or so, didn’t listen to me at all. I keep telling Zac that while technically it was a three-some, I didn’t want it. I don’t want to remember any of the details or anything they did. It sucked. It hurt.”
“Are there things you didn’t tell him?”
“No. There are only three people that know exactly what happen the entire week. Craig and my youngest brother watched surveillance video and Zac knows because I told him everything they did, everything they said. When I came in that Monday I somehow managed to be in his office. I backed against the desk, causing pain from the bruises and I cut my hand, Zac found the bruises after I passed out. I woke up in the hospital.”
“I remember Zac telling me you passed out.”
“It’s the only reason he gives me, the only one I can think of. He has not denied me anything else on the list and some of them are out there.”
“Define out there.” His eyebrow rose hoping I would divulge more information.
I smiled. “I can’t talk about that without him but let’s just say he makes a great nurse.”
He smiled. “I image he would. You are easy to read Emily, your eyes tell a lot about you. How do you feel about me being here and the reason?”
I got up and pulled the first pan of brownies out, they smelled awesome. I went ahead and placed them where they could cool and then looked at him.
He was looking at me knowing. “I’m not going to do anything until you tell me how you feel Emily. You and Zac are perfect for each other and I am not going to compromise that just because Zac wants to fulfill some fantasy.”
I took a deep breath to calm myself a bit. “We used the toy on Valentines, I purchased the items online and surprised him, he enjoyed it but it wasn’t quite great. It was ok at best. When I made the suggestion he seemed a little put off but again, I told him to think about it.”
“Ok. But that doesn’t tell me how you feel Emily.”
The timer went off and I removed the second batch and again, I looked at him.
“I’m worried that he’ll like it more with you and leave. Logically I know that he’s happy with me and with our life together and I also know that the odds of that happening are low. But it’s why I didn’t call until yesterday. I am ok with this Casey, it is something that he wants and I am willing to set aside my own feelings for that.”
He looked at me for several moments. “He won’t leave you Emily, not for me and not for anyone else. That you don’t have to worry about.”
“Good, while we wait there is something I’d like to discuss with you. Something that he normally gets but will probably will be hesitating tonight. Added, I am sure even if he agrees he’ll need a little incentive to progress.”
“Oh?” He perked up at that and shifted in his seat.
I smiled and discussed my plan, because I knew Zac very well and while he did want this and would most likely go through with it he would be nervous and he would need some encouragement. Casey seemed very interested and on board, even if I didn’t share very many details with him.
We finished fixing dinner together; he fixed salads and even cooked the steaks on the grill for me, having them ready when Zac got home. We were both waiting when he walked in at 5:30.
“Baby, I’m….” he trailed off when he saw us both.
“Home?” I asked.
“Yeah.”
“Sorry I didn’t call you, Happy Birthday.” Casey said.
“Thank you, I uh… I was not expecting you to be here.” Zac said.
The look said he may have been thinking about returning to the studio with me and a few selected toys, but this would ruin that.
“I’m a surprise.” Casey said.
“Dinner is ready.”
Zac laid the box he had brought in the chair by the door and I sat him at the head of the table, brought everything to him.
“You went all out.” He said.
“It’s not every day you have a birthday and I recall you went above and beyond on mine.”
He smiled. “Whisking you to Cancun and asking you to be my wife on your birthday just seemed right.”
I smiled and sat down and we ate dinner, light talk about what Casey had been doing and things we had done as well, the topic of sex was completely avoided, Casey and I agreed he’d be nervous enough. Once we were done with dinner I brought out the brownies, sitting the whole plate in front of him.
“You made these?” Zac asked.
“I called your mom for the recipe last week. I give no guarantees.”
He tried one and by his reaction of eating three more I assumed they were good. I stuck to my regular ones while Casey got one or two of each, we sat there a little bit longer before I started gathering dishes and Casey went to the living room. I was just rinsing the dishes off as I was going to run the dishwasher; we had it pretty full now. I felt Zac’s hands around my waist and felt his hot breath against my neck.
“What happen to coming to the studio?”
“He just showed up, it will not hurt you to wait.”
He kissed my neck and then went to the living room; boy was he in for a surprise. I finished loading the dishwasher, started it and then went to the living room. Zac normally sat in the center of the sofa and tonight was no different. Even though Casey was on the right side I sat down on the left. He seemed perplexed because there were other places. Casey told him to choose the movie, being his birthday and all. But, both of us knew there was a good chance he would not see the end. I gave him several minutes to just relax before I laid my hand rather high up on his thigh and I moved to his neck.
“Emily…” he whispered.
I didn’t stop, kept planting light kisses to his neck and lower jaw, occasionally I would glide my tongue over his warm skin. He shifted in the seat and I knew the kisses were getting to him. He tried to move me but found his left hand was rather stuck behind me, he couldn’t stop me. I slid my hand up higher, inches from where he’d want them if Casey wasn’t there. He shifted again.
“Are you ok Zachary?” Casey asked.
“Ye…Yeah...” he stumbled.
I had run my tongue up the side of his neck about the time he tried to speak.
“Doesn’t sound like it.” He replied.
Casey turned toward him, putting his hand on his upper thigh, pretty high up but not as high as mine was. I felt Zac’s body tense up, so I turned his head to me. That exposed most of the right side of his neck to Casey, giving him access. I had told Casey what normally worked with him, areas and spots that seem to relax him or turn him on quickly. I saw Casey lean in and watched as he placed light kisses to the base of his neck, before the tip of his tongue trailed up his neck. I felt Zac’s right hand tighten against, he was not relaxing. I tried kissing him but that didn’t work either. Casey pulled away, planting soft kisses on his shoulder over the shirt. Zac was looking at me confused.
“Baby, is this not what you wanted?” I asked.
“I uh…um...” he stumbled over words.
Casey moved away completely. “I’m going to head to the bathroom, I’ll be back.” He said.
He got up and left the room and I turned Zac to me. “You said you wanted too, that you were ok with it. Casey is here for you.”
“I uh…”
I wondered if Casey had been right, he said it was possible Zac said he wanted too but didn’t truly believe I would call and ask or that he would have the chance. Zac look uncomfortable and slightly scared.
“What is wrong?” I asked.
“I didn’t…I just…” He was still stumbling over words.
“You told me you wanted too and for me to call. You said you trusted him. Did you really think I wouldn’t call him?”
“Partially, yes. I also didn’t think you would this soon.”
I kissed him, felt him respond. “He’s here for you, your birthday present from me, at least one of them.”
“Are you really ok with this? You didn’t really seem thrilled.”
“I called him didn’t I?”
Even though I truly wasn’t sure if I was ok with it, could I handle it when things got heavier? When clothes came off? It was too late to back out, so I knew I would have to deal with it. When Casey returned about ten minutes later Zac was a little more relaxed. He returned to the same seat.
“Is everything alright?” Casey asked.
“Yes.” I said.
He looked at Zac and we both watched as his cheeks turned light pink.
“Yes. I just didn’t expect it.”
“Understandable.”
I let Casey go first this time, when Zac seemed to not lean his head back I got his hair and pulled gently, he whined some. It felt strange to be sitting there watching while someone else was kissing his neck, but he wasn’t moaning as much as he usually did with me, but I knew every spot. I watched for a bit as Casey just kissed him, avoiding the lips because that was a limit I had no lip contact. Casey’s hands remained in fairly safe places as well for now. He finally looked at me.
“I believe you said there was something you wanted to do first.” He said.
Zac’s eyes looked at me, he was slightly confused on what he meant by that.
“It means moving from here.” I replied.
“I am ok with that.”
I let Zac’s hair go and he looked at me. “Emily?”
“It is your birthday Zachary.” I replied.
“I know that.” He replied.
Casey got up and walked to the steps, where he stood at the bottom and waited.
“That means get up Zac.”
He swallowed. “Emily, no. I will make it up later.”
“No.”
I got up and held my hand out to him, watched his cheeks get slightly darker.
“You do not want me to hand him control for this, I assure you he will hit harder.”
He took a deep breath before he got up, he followed me until he reached the steps just past Casey and then he stopped.
“He is coming too Zac.”
He looked at me pleading without words, he would have probably begged if Casey wasn’t there.
“Now Zac, let’s go.” I said.
He stood there. “Later, Emily.”
I heard Casey’s hand make contact with Zac’s ass. Heard the audible smack and saw the shock on Zac’s face along with the pained expression. It sounded as if Casey had not gone easy, I wasn’t quite sure if I liked that or not.
“I believe she said now.” He said.
Zac looked at me completely confused and pleading with his eyes. No one else had ever popped him before, playful or otherwise. His cheeks had gotten darker and it was spreading to the tips of his ears.
“Zachary, do I need to ask him to do it again? It sounded like it hurt.” I said.
He glanced back at Casey before he shook his head and started up the steps. Casey went to the guest room first to remove his shoes and to give us a moment, completely planned. Zac however followed me to the bedroom where I sat him down and stood in front of him.
“Zachary?”
“I uh…”
“You knew it would be different.”
“I don’t…” He glanced at the door and then me.
I smiled and kissed him. “He is not doing this Zachary, I am. After that, I will be right there in the chair. Believe me; I won’t let him hurt you.”
He nodded and we waited a few minutes before Casey came in. Casey wasn’t familiar with our normal routine in this situation. I moved Zac to the spot where I normally would strip him slowly.
“Normally, I just tell him to strip for me or I do it. I think I’d like to watch you do that for me.” I said.
I sat down on the edge of the bed and watched Casey smile. He’d actually asked me if he could, just once and this was a good time.
“My pleasure.” He replied.
Zac looked kind of scared, but I crossed my legs and focused my attention on them. If Zac couldn’t let him undress him then there was no way he’d get any farther.
