Chapter Ten - Fuming

Daddy
I had a secret that I hadn't told Serena yet. I wanted to tell her, but I wanted us all together first. Garrett had been out of town on business but just got back today. He was late getting to the club, and I was irritated by that. He better not have been off fucking some girl and making us wait. This was important and he knew it.

Finally, I see him. Garrett, drink in hand, made his way over to us. He looked tired. International travel does that to a person. I was just so impatient that I hadn't let him rest. He had a decision to make, and I needed his answer tonight. I was tired of waiting.

When he was close enough, I pulled him in for a hug, even though he hated it. Devon just stared at him and held onto Serena possessively. Devon wasn't as happy with this as I was. I know what Serena needs, and this is it. Devon was jealous and pissed. He just stared at Garrett and Garrett rolled his eyes.

"She must be some piece of ass, if you're just going to stare at me like that," he said to Devon.

"Don't talk about her like that. She's ours. Give her the respect she deserves," Devon muttered and pushed Serena forward.

I introduced them. Garrett kept his hands to himself, as always, but he told her he was pleased to meet her. Serena just smiled shyly and said, nice to meet you. She stepped back and Devon grabbed her hips, staking his claim as usual. He was as in love with her as I was and just as protective. Maybe he was more protective than I was. He was really a goner for Serena, and I was glad about that, maybe a little jealous too. I didn’t start out, wanting to share her, but she needed us. All of us. Devon always had his hands on her. I could take her away from him or get closer, but it would distract me. She was always distracting me. Everything about her from her sweet nature to her, banging body and every filthy sexy thing that dropped from her mouth was pure sweet seduction.

Was it only two months ago that I had taken her first time on this exact sofa behind me? I almost lost her that night. I wasn't going to let that happen again. That's why I needed Garrett. Not that didn't think that Devon would take good care of her. He absolutely would, but with the three of us protecting her? Nothing would ever happen to her, and I needed to know she was always protected. We had enemies. I had to leave to take care of some things and I wanted to know if Garrett was on board. That is what tonight was about.
We could have met at the apartment, but I wanted Baby Girl to have some fun before I left. I'd be gone for about a month, like both Devon and Garrett had done. We take turns traveling, overseeing our businesses in other countries. It was my turn and that was another thing I had to tell Baby Girl. I don't think she was going to be happy, and I hated to think of her being sad, especially if I was the cause of that unhappiness.

"Let's go to our room. We have some things to talk about," I didn't look at Baby Girl. I didn't want her to see the truth just yet. Not until I had time to explain.

I led the way down a dark hallway and inserted my keycard into the lock. It chimed and turned green. We all filed into the room and went to the sitting area. A black leather sofa and a matching chair with a small table in between were on one side of the room. A huge king sized bed was on the other, also clad in black bedding. There were different types of equipment in her for all manner of kinks. Some were obvious, like the restraints on the headboard. Others were hidden in drawers and cabinets. I had gotten all new things after I met Baby Girl. I didn’t want anything tainted from another woman in here now that I had her. I also knew how jealous she could be so I made sure I had the roomed cleaned from top to bottom. It was only her for me from now on. I needed her to know it.

When we were all seated, I again let Devon take her in his arms. She sat on his lap and cuddled down, his big arms wrapping around her. I needed to see her face as I explained what was happening. I would make sure to comfort her later if she needed.

I ran my hands through my hair and blew out a breath before I began.

“Baby Girl, I have some things I need to tell you. I have kept them secret, until Garrett could meet with us. I don’t want you to be mad, okay? I know I told you I wouldn’t keep secrets from you, but I wanted to make sure it would work out, this threesome that we have. What I say to you, you can’t repeat because it wasn’t only a secret from you, it’s a secret to everyone we know.”

I watched her carefully. She scooted forward on Devon’s lap. I had her full attention now.

“First tell me the secret, then tell me why you must hide this from everyone, including me,” she snapped.

I narrowed my eyes. I didn’t like her tone, but I had been dishonest up till now, so I didn’t call her out on it.

“Devon and Garrett are my brothers,” I said. “Well, stepbrothers to be exact,” I clarified.

“My dad has been married four times. I’m the oldest. My mother died when I was four. Devon is next, then Garrett. My dad married Devon’s mother when I was six. He was five. They were married for five years before they divorced. Then Dad married Garrett’s mom, he was six when they married, and they divorced eight years later. My dad re-married again, six years ago. We have a stepsister too from that marriage, she’s seventeen. Our father is still married to Lacey’s mom, Gwyneth.”

I saw questions on her face, and I hurried to finish. “We don’t tell people that we are family. We three own several businesses together. It’s better if we keep the fact that we are related to ourselves. We are all best friends, so that part is true. Garrett just came back from traveling and visiting our businesses. Devon went the month before. It’s my turn to go.”

“You’re going to be gone for a month? And you’re just now telling me this?” she cried out in horror.

“I wanted you to get used to the way things are before I dumped that information on you, Baby Girl. I won’t be leaving until next week,” I winced when she shrieked. She was taking this worse than I thought she would.

“Well, you can wait until you get back to find out if I’m pregnant or not. I’m not taking the test until you come back.” She said in the angriest voice I have ever heard from her.

“We agreed –” I began but she cut me off.

“No! You withheld vital information from me and I’m going to do the same to you. Now, take me home. I don’t want to be here anymore,” she snapped.

Fuck. I wasn’t done and now the evening is ruined too.

“You can’t be mad at me forever,” I said in a dark tone.

“I’ll stay mad at you until you return,” she stated. And damn, I believed she could.

Devon tried to cradle her, but she stood up abruptly. She turned towards him.

“No. You were in on this too,” she stood there, tapping her gorgeous foot, her arms crossed against her chest, fuming.

Devon looked at me. Great he was pissed too. “I told you to tell her sooner. We could have called Garrett on Face Time or something. Now look what you’ve done.”

I looked at Garrett, he was smirking. He was the only one she wasn’t mad at, for the moment.

This night was royally fucked. “Well? What do you think?” I asked him.

“She’s spectacular,” he said as he looked at Serena in awe.
