Chapter Thirty-Two
“You look beautiful.” I can’t believe how f*****g excited I feel, like a giddy goddamn kid again when Chloé comes down to lunch with us, so excited that I’m speaking in a bubbly tone. “I mean, you always do, but you’re glowing.”
Chloé smiles at me in a shy smile I haven’t seen on her pretty face yet as I walk out to meet her at the bottom of the stairs. She’s wearing a flowing bluish-gray skirt with pink dots and a light-pink blouse.
She looks incredibly young.
But that beauty, that strange composure, it’s still there.
She’s still the same Chloé Salvatore talked about for so many months in a row and that Enzo confided in me a few weeks ago after he stayed at a friend’s house. Hearing about her had already endeared her to me and when I met her…
When we arrived from the church, she went up to her room to refresh herself and I used the moment to corner Salvatore and Enzo in my bedroom and I asked them about Chloé.
I have already heard the three of them together.
Every time I did, all I wanted to do was barge in and participate.
“Listen,” I say to them, trying to gather my courage. “I know that both of you spend time with Chloe.”
“Yes, we do,” says Salvatore.
“And so will you, Fratellino,” adds Enzo, with a devilish smile.
I did not expect this. I was going to... I don’t even know what I was going to say, or ask. To do it somewhere else because hearing them is a torment? To allow me to hide in the closet to watch? Maybe one of those things, but I was not going to ask if I could be with her.
And now Enzo says I will be. Alone? Me, alone with Chloe? I can’t.
I don’t know the most basic things about s*x. Or making love.
And she is a goddess, she deserves the best. My brothers, I know they know how to make love to a woman such as her. My brothers are great at everything.
But me?
“How is that going to happen?” I finally ask them.
“Basically, Salvatore and I are having a relationship with Chloé. We want you to be in on it.”
“A relationship?” I ask, as if the meaning of simple words eludes me.
“Sì,” answers Salvatore. “Assuming we’re not mistaken and you desire her as we do. She is quite taken with you as well. Are you interested?”
Me? The thought that this amazing woman has eyes for me is overwhelming to even think of. Especially when she has the pleasure of my brothers. What could she possibly see in me? “If you’re not playing a game with me, which would be cruel beyond measure if you are, then yes, I’m interested. Very much so.”
“Great!” Enzo says, and gives me a hug, slapping my back and laughing. “You’re in for some incredible s*x with an incredible woman!”
“But how? I don’t understand.”
Salvatore explains to me. “We agree we’ll all share Chloé, but nobody asks anything of her that she doesn’t want to do. Chloé is always in charge of everything that happens.”
“I agree. And will we be exclusive to her, not seeing other women?”
“Enzo and I are. We hope you’ll feel the same way. Chloé has already declared, she wants no one but us.”
“And she wants you, little brother.” Enzo says. “You can f**k her right now. She’s waiting to find out if you’ve said yes to joining our relationship.”
This is an unbelievable development that I never would have dreamed of. But it’s not enough. I need one more thing, as greedy as that sounds.
I take a deep breath. “I have just one request.”
“Cosa?” asks Salvatore, at the same time Enzo says, “What?”
“I want to talk with her first.” They both nod at this, seeming relieved. “Then I want you to come in and…” Inferno. “Help me.”
I can feel myself blushing at that. But they are older and more experienced and I want them to help me. “I need your help. To forget about the bad…memories. Maybe Chloé can teach me things so we can have a…” I am about to say normal, but with the four of us tangled there’s no way I can call this normal. “A relationship.”
Salvatore smiles gently at me yet I can see the arousal in his dark eyes. “We’ll be there for you.”
My body is cold and then too warm. And that reminds me of the first time I tried to f**k a girl and everything went wrong. “And if I freeze?”
“We unthaw you, don’t worry, Fratellino,” Salvatore says.
“Okay. But I can’t just walk in there right now and get s****l. Can I have some time first?” I ask.
“That’s up to you.” Enzo tells me in his boisterous way which disguises his nervousness. I can see my oldest brother is falling for Chloé and still resisting her. “Just don’t make us wait too long.”
I nod and walk to my room in somewhat of a delirious daze.
I’m excited mentally beyond my wildest dreams since the first time I laid eyes on her. But physically, I’m shaking and trying to calm myself down.
They say it’s up to me.
Which means I am free to do it.
Right now.
Yet here I am in my room, obsessed with thoughts of what it will be like with her when I can’t take it anymore.
It’s stupid, I know. She’s just one girl.
And we all want her, probably equally, which is weird as hell. I’m not really sure how to rectify that in my head, so I’m just ignoring it for now.
But no.
If nothing else, I need to, at least, lay my eyes on her.
Even knowing it will drive me even more crazy, make me insane with desire, I need to see her, feast on her beauty.
I don’t know if Salvatore has spoken to her yet, but either way, there is nothing wrong with me visiting with a guest in our house.
I go down the hall and find her door open. She’s in her sitting room, reclining on the sofa, reading.
I just enter, unannounced, and without asking.
She puts her book down and sits up, smiling.
