Rules Of Our Own: Chapter 20
THE RAIN SHOWER room is just as nice as I thought it would be, with its cool slate floors and deep blue subway tiles.
River cradles me to his chest, my legs wrapped around his waist and his hands buried under my thighs. I tuck my face into the curve between his neck and shoulder. I’m too exhausted to even consider holding up my own weight.
Alex takes his time, dragging a cloth lightly between my shoulder blades, drifting over my hips before trailing down my leg and capturing my foot. He chuckles when I jerk away from being tickled and starts on my other side. A soft moan forms on my lips when Alex gently kneads the muscles in my back. I let myself go limp and relax into them as they take care of me.
The water pouring from the ceiling is cool on my heated, slick skin, but the constant contact from the men has warmth radiating from inside of me.
Alex massages shampoo into my hair, followed by conditioner and I hum in the back of my throat, leaning back into his touch.
River shifts one arm, banding around my waist to keep me from tipping back.
I’m overcome with the feeling of being cherished, and tears sting my eyes, knowing that this is the last day.
River sets me down on shaky legs, only letting go of my waist so Alex can thread my arms through my robe and tie a knot over my navel.
The walk back to the villa is a blur. I spend the entire time tucked into Alex’s shoulder, barely looking at my surroundings.
When we get inside, he directs me to the bed, and I crawl on top of it, allowing him to pull the covers over me. I can vaguely hear River’s voice speaking on the phone, but my eyes are heavy, and sleep slowly pulls me under.
Alex whispers against my temple. “Sleep, Kitten. We’ll wake you up when the food’s here.”
Muffled sounds pull me out of my sleep, and the sharp click of the door shutting has me sitting up, a yawn stretching my mouth.
River sets a tray of food in the center of the bed and shifts it further away when I reach for a grape, earning a glare from me. The soft smile on his lips has my breath hitching.
Alex steals my attention as he climbs up near the pillow beside me, crosses his legs, and grins. “We figured you’d be hungry…and you need your energy up for tonight.”
“Uh-huh. And what’s happening tonight?” I raise a brow, already feeling my skin grow hot.
Alex leans in, kissing my breath away before pulling back and winking at me. “Whatever you want, Kitten.”
River pushes a strand of my hair behind my ear. “We forget about tomorrow and just enjoy each other.” His voice is raw and low, and it pulls at my heart. There’s something so wrong about this not lasting, but I refuse to let those feelings affect this moment and steal it from me.
The mattress compresses when River sits on my right so that I’m between them, and he sorts through the charcuterie board. He takes his time making a small sandwich-like tower with a cracker, salami, and cheese before handing it to me.
I bite into it and moan in the back of my throat. It’s all melted cheesy goodness.
“Good,” I say to an entirely too pleased River.
“What, you aren’t going to make me one?” Alex teases River, but his mouth snaps shut when River already has one ready for him.
A slight blush tinges Alex’s cheeks, and he speaks before I can ask him about it. “Tell us about your charity. What happens next?”
The buzz of excitement travels through me, and I tell them all about it before anxiety takes over. “Now I just need to figure out exactly how to get more donors. Misty had a few ideas on how to run the social media campaign, and we’re going to work on it for the next few weeks. Then, I guess, just hope like hell it works.”
“It’ll work.” River feeds me a grape, and my mouth bursts with sweet and sour.
Alex pulls me into his arms so my back is against his chest and runs his nose along my neck, casting my skin in goose bumps.
River looks pensive, then sets the tray on the nightstand. “What was the class you forgot about and ended up having to study for the final for thirty-six hours straight?”
“Ethics…You had to remember that?”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
“I remember everything.” River hands me another grape, and I bite into it before I can say something stupid. “I remember that you had the second-highest score and that Charles guy was furious about it. Tried to rat you out to the teacher.”
My brows pinch together. “Oh yeah…Whatever happened to him?”
“We had a nice chat on why it’s stupid to tattle on your friends.” Alex smirks, stealing the grape River tries to hand me, and pops it into his mouth.
“Then there’s the time you hustled half the hockey team playing pool,” River says, and there’s something settling in his confidence in me. He slides my robe off my shoulders, and his lips follow its path, placing open-mouth kisses along the newly exposed skin.
“You need to trust yourself. You’ve got this,” River whispers before dipping his tongue into the hollow above my collarbone, and my mind blanks out.
Alex slides my robe down the rest of the way before discarding it over the side of the bed. He kisses the nape of my neck as River stands and strips out of his clothes, revealing his thick cock. I swallow hard.
He kneels back on the bed and leans over me, bracing a hand on the bed. He strokes his thumb over my cheekbone before cradling my neck, pulling my forehead to his.
His movements are slow and measured, like he has infinite time to explore me. His hands trace every curve of my body as if he’s memorizing it, trailing his thumbs over my breasts and across my nipples, circling my navel, leaving goose bumps wherever his touch lingers.
I meet his hooded gaze and tilt my chin up to brush my lips over his.
I lick the seam of his mouth and let out a long, low moan as he takes control of the kiss. I shudder when he cups me between my thighs. His fingers move in slow, lazy circles, and I break our kiss to bite down on my lip to keep from crying out.
“Please,” I say against the side of his throat.
“Please what?” River rasps, curving his palm and circling my entrance before pulling away.
I make a low, almost pained sound at the loss of his touch.
“Kitten, you better answer him.” Alex exhales and touches his fingers to the curve of my hip where it meets my waist. He drags his fingertips along my rib cage, drawing my attention and brushing a kiss on the nape of my neck. Nipping playfully, he shifts down under the covers to lie behind me and guides me down beside him.
River follows, pinning me between them.
Their hearts beat faster with every single touch. Each pulse vibrates where we’re smashed together.
“Touch me,” I reply and close my eyes as warm hands graze my skin.
I forget who they belong to and squirm between them, shifting my hips, searching for more. They touch everywhere, massaging the tension from my muscles, leaving me pliant between strong hands. My nipples pebble under callused fingers while nails rake my flesh and tongues tease my skin. Soft fingers roam over my hips, and every nerve sparks to life, following their path as they dip between my thighs and sink deep inside.
My back arches at the connection, my eyes snapping open to see River’s hand press into me.
“Holy shit,” I breathe.
My heart pounds in my chest, and I rake my hands into River’s hair, dropping my head back to rest on Alex.
Alex’s fingertips roll over my nipple before pinching the tip hard enough to draw a sharp cry from me, then caress down my stomach to rub my clit between his two fingers.
Their pace is agonizingly slow. My breathing quickens, my heart pounds in my chest, and my skin’s alive with tingling sensations as the pleasure spreads from my toes to every corner of my body. My thighs tremble, and I feel the warmth of an orgasm beginning to build deep within me.
River bites down on my jaw and kisses up to my ear. “Come for us, Love, so I can finally fuck you.”
The thought of him sinking deep inside me has wave after wave of intense pleasure shattering me apart. They’d been building the orgasm so slowly that the fierceness of the release has my eyes rolling back, my body trembling between them.
They let me come down for several seconds before River places his strong hands around my leg and delicately hoists it over his hip. His eyes are filled with anticipation as the tip of his erection teases my entrance, generating a spark between us that sends shivers up my spine. In one fluid motion, he pushes himself inside me, filling me completely.
I knew he was big, but he fills me so thoroughly that the feeling of pressure is almost more than I can take.
Alex kisses along my shoulder blades as River slowly strokes inside me, letting me adjust to his size.
I feel cherished, cared for, loved—
I tense at the thought, and River pinches my nipples, drawing a squeak from my mouth.
“Stop thinking,” he says and bites my lower lip.
I let my mind go blank and lose myself to them. His strokes grow quicker until he is pounding inside of me, hitting that perfect spot.
A loud moan escapes from my lips as another orgasm builds inside of me. The pleasure is too much, and I clench around him again, making him groan against my mouth.
Alex returns his hand to my center, massaging my clit in tight circles, driving the pressure upward.
River growls low in his throat, his hips bucking into me with his release, triggering me over the edge with him.
Just as I start to catch my breath, I feel him carefully slide out, only to feel Alex notch his cock against me.
“You ready for me, Kitten?” Alex’s hot breath skates over my ear as he nips the lobe, and I press down on him, enveloping his cock in my slick heat.
A satisfied grunt rumbles up from his chest. I want to purr. We both groan as he fills me completely. A spasm rocks through me as the crown of his cock bumps my G-spot. We pause, savoring the moment.
River lays his forehead against mine, nuzzling and kissing me tenderly. His hand holds my thigh high on his hip, locking me in place while his friend thrusts into me from behind. I reach behind me and thread my fingers into Alex’s hair, holding on for dear life as every muscle in my body tightens, and another wave of pleasure erupts from deep within me. Alex thrusts a few more times, and then his grip tightens as he finds his own release.
“That was incredible,” I say between breaths.
River smiles softly, his brows creasing slightly as he looks at me tenderly. “You’re incredible,” he murmurs back.
My chest tightens, knowing there’s no coming back from this.
