Chapter 11

Ella

When first pulling into the driveway that led up towards the mansion I couldn’t help but be floored. Whoa, my brothers live here? Just how rich are they? I wonder, my eyes taking in the scenery around us as lush green grass ran for miles as well as trees, scrubs, and beautiful flower beds until gazing at the mansion once more.

It’s definitely beautiful, I thought, knowing that our family was rich as Reece, Dylan, Caleb and I all attended the same Academy, but just how rich I apparently did not know even when my step brothers would always send such beautiful gifts for my birthday and christmas.

“Don’t worry Principessa (Princess) everythings going to be okay, I promise” murmurs Grant just as we slowly approach a big ol roundabout that sat beautifully just outside the mansion a three tier water fountain sat stationed as well as my eyes slowly take in the appearance of my three ever sexy step brothers as well as a maid who seemed to be waiting for us.

Gulping I nod just as we come to a stop just outside the mansion, Grant finally putting the car into park before shutting it off. “Don’t move” was all I heard just as Grant moved to get out, the driver side door closing as he moved to come back around towards my side, my door slowly opening up only for my brothers to finally see me, my body slowly sliding out as I moved to hold my bear a blush rising towards my cheeks in embarrassment.

Still gazing at my brothers, my ears move to hear that of the maid as she approaches me, my eyes still trained on the three men before me, making sure to file each of their images to memory for another day as the maid moves to lead me slowly back up the stairs my blush getting brighter the longer I continued to stare, my body craving them that much more.

Get it together girl, I move to scold myself just as I finally move to stand in front of each of my brothers, my nose taking in each of their scents as each of their colognes hit me. Mentally moaning, I feel my cheeks getting redder, my nose now realizing each cologne.

Is that? Is that Versace Eros I smell? I ponder my nose taking another small whiff as I finally smell it, the scent of Mint, Green Apple, Lemon as well as Tonka Bean, Geranium, Ambroxan with subtle hints of Madagascar Vanilla, Virginian Cedar, Atlas Cedar, Vetiver and Oakmoss, a cologne that reminded me of Reece one time and decided to buy it for him on his birthday.

It is, I mentally exclaim, silently happy that Reece continued to use the cologne I had bought him, my eyes still focused on them as Caleb moves to speak.

“Welcome home Principessa (Princess)” comes Caleb’s soft but firm voice as his eyes continue to focus on me, my body tingling as I carefully pick up on his cologne, the scent of Lime, Lemon, Bergamot, Jasmine, Orange, Mandarin Orange, Neroli with middle tones of Sea Notes, Jasmine, Cologne, Rosemary, Peach, Freesia, Hyacinth, Cyclamen, Violet, Coriander, Rose, Nutmeg, Mignonette with underlining scents of White Musk, Cedar, Oakmoss, Patchouli and Amber, the famous cologne of Giorgio Armani and the ever famous Acqua Di Gio cologne, another one that I had personally picked out once for Caleb and was still shocked that he too continued to use it.

Embarrassed that I still knew my scents and what cologne was which my eyes slowly moved over towards Dylan, silently curious if Dylan still used the cologne that I had personally hand picked for him or if he had eventually gone off to buy his own preferred flavor of cologne. So naturally when he went to speak next my eyes naturally moved over towards him.

“It’s been a while Il Mio Tesoro (My Treasure)” comes Dylan’s warm firm voice, a voice so similar to Reece’s but not as I attempt to focus on him, my cheeks still red as I continue to think inappropriately about each of them, still hoping to catch a whiff of Dylan just as Reece moves to address the maid.

“Lilianna, if you could be a dear, could you please escort her up to her room, my brothers and I have something to discuss with Grant, but once we’re done we’ll definitely come up and properly welcome her home.” comes the end of Reece’s statement as I apparently missed whatever it was he had said prior to it as I was too wound up on Dylan to even notice.

“Of course Sir” and then before I could even reply did the maid move to lead me into the mansion, my body slowly walking past Dylan as I did only to finally catch the scent of the sweet smell of Elysees Wood by Paris. An Exclusive Cologne that I had found during one of my shopping trips when I had gone shopping for Reece and Caleb.

The scent alone smelt wonderful, the scents of Violet, Blackcurrant, Almond, Melon, Anise, Peach with middle tones of Peony, Mimosa, Hibiscus, Lilac, Lily-of-the-Valley, Almond Blossom, Rose and ending with subtle hints of Vanilla, Sandalwood, Almond Tree, Benzoin, and Cedar. Each scent blending wonderfully into one another that I instantly knew that this cologne was meant only for Dylan and so when I had gone to purchase the colognes for both Reece and Caleb I knew I had to buy Dylan his in which turned out to be the best decision of my life as each of them apparently continued to use it even now.

Shaking my head I attempt to clear my thoughts, my eyes now trained on the maid as she moved to lead us up a flight of stairs just off the main entrance before leading me up towards the second floor, my eyes taking in all the beautiful art as well as sculptures that lined the halls and walls as we walked.

Still focused on my surroundings I almost miss the maid as she speaks, “I hope you’ll find your room to your liking young miss, the masters have been planning for this for a very long time” admits Lilianna as she continues with her task.

“I can assure you, I’m super picky when it comes down to rooms” I admit, just as we come to a stop at a big brown wooden door, the door stationed in the middle of two other doors with two doors sitting adjacent from it.

“Who’s rooms are these?” I find myself curious as to who my neighbors were.

“Oh those rooms? The one to your right is Reece’s room and the one to your left is Dylan’s, yours is currently in the middle of them while Caleb is directly across from Reece and Grant and Hayden stay directly across from Dylan” answers Lilianna, my blush now full on red just as she tells me who’s room was where.

Just then, as if sensing my uneasiness does Lilianna move to speak again, “Don’t worry, all rooms are soundproof so should you feel like blasting your music or screaming out at the top of your lungs, no one would be able to hear you.”

Sighing I move to give her a grateful nod just as I move to enter my new room, my eyes taking in all the beautiful pieces from cream color walls with accents of mauve and gold to a big queen size bed stationed in the middle with beautiful white linen and big fluffy blankets, while a rich oakwood dresser sat gently off to the side along with matching nightstands on either side of the bed.

“It’s beautiful” I whisper in awe, my body slowly moving to explore the room.

“I take it you like the room?” asks Lilianna with a smile.

“I do” I whisper back, still in awe even when I slowly gravitate towards the bed, the urge to jump onto the bed calling to me.

“Good, I’ll be sure to let the masters know then” was all Lilianna says as she moves to leave me to myself a big grin making its way across my lips as I move to jump on the bed, my body instantly hitting the softest bed ever, my body feeling like it was on a cloud as I move to just lay there, my body finally trying to process everything that happened thus far knowing that tomorrow was another school day and I’d be damned if I missed it especially being so close to graduation.

Yawning, I feel myself starting to become sleepy as I move to snuggle my bear, my eyes now drooping as I feel my body relaxing against the big soft mattress, unable to stay awake as I slowly drift off to sleep, my mind taking me into a blissful slumber that slowly involved three very handsome men.
