Tonight ended in a bizarre way. But I can’t stop thinking about what Tyler said as we get into the limo. What would the world think when it gets out that Zack Ward, millionaire businessman and Kimberly Ward, famous fashion designer opened their marriage up to a woman. A woman who used to be Zack’s stepsister.
“Cora?” Kimmy’s soft voice pulls me from my inner turmoil. “You okay?”
“Yeah.” I smile. “I’m okay.”
But am I?
“Don’t let what he said get to you. We want you. You’re ours, okay?”
“Okay.”
For now, I’ll push my insecurities to the side and hope I’m just overthinking again.
Chapter 25
Kimmy
It’s been a few days since the fashion show and I can see Cora getting into her own head when she has moments to think and looking way too sad for my liking. I know what my brother said upset her, it pissed us all off.
I love my brother, I do. But I’m just so sad and disappointed in the choices he’s made in life. We tried to get him help, tried to show our love and support for him, but it wasn’t enough to get him to accept help. And we couldn’t force him, he needs to want it himself.
To find out that Tyler had a thing for Cora was a shock. Zack said he didn’t know, didn’t see it. I didn’t either. Sure, Tyler hung out with us sometimes and when he did, he talked to Cora, but he’d talk to me and Zack too.
He’d sometimes ask about her, but nothing more than how she was doing.
To know he liked her enough to push us all apart, that hurts. No, he’s not the reason we didn’t tell one another our feelings, but he sure as hell wouldn’t have supported us if we had. And the fact he called me that nasty name over liking a woman, that one hit hard.
I know not everyone is supportive of gay or polyamorous relationships but if we’re not hurting anyone, why does it matter?
I love Zack, we’ve been happy with one another the whole time we’ve been together. Yes, we had things to overcome, like any couple would, but we always stood strong because we loved each other.
But that never meant we stopped loving Cora. Both of us wanted her just as much as the other. So it made sense when she was brought back into our lives, that we took the chance we’ve been wanting for years.
It works out in our favor too, because our sweet, amazing best friend wants us too.
“Hey, you.” I smile at my adorable girlfriend as I lean against her bedroom door. She doesn’t spend much time in here anymore, only when she wants to relax and read, like she’s doing right now.
She’s been staying in our bed the past few weeks, with us, where she belongs.
“Hi.” She smiles at me and my heart aches. I’m so far gone for this girl. Placing her book on the side table, she swings her feet around and sits on the edge of the bed. “You done with your sketches?”
“Yup.” I bite my lower lip as I walk towards her. “It was hard though.”
“How come?” She smiles, amused with me. She must see the mischievous gleam in my eyes as I stop in front of her.
“Couldn’t stop thinking about you.” Placing my hands on her shoulders, I straddle her lap. She takes a moment to run her eyes over my chest and up to my face before licking her lips.
“What kind of things about me were you thinking about?” Her question is breathy and filled with desire. I got my girl right where I want her.
“Like how your lips feel against mine,” I murmur, brushing my lips against hers. She takes a shuddering breath, eyes fluttering.
“What else?” The question is almost a whimper.
“How your skin pebbles when I touch you.” I run my hands down her arms, taking the straps of her sundress with me, and grin as she shivers. “How just the simplest touch from one of us has you dripping.” She swallows hard and I lean in to kiss her throat. “Are you wet for me right now, Cora?”
“Y-yes,” she whispers in a shaky tone.
I’m aching for her, wanting to rub myself against her like a damn bitch in heat. She always gets me like this, both her and Zack wreak havoc on my libido.
