Chapter Five
 

“Hey!” The receptionist called out as soon as I walked into
the building. I already knew what he wanted and I was happy to know that I
didn’t have to pay him another dime. “I need your money for today or you’re
going to have to leave.” The man said and I walked passed him without looking
at him.

“I’m not spending another day in this place so I’m not
paying another dime for it.” I could tell that he had something more to say to
that, but he stopped when Edward walked over to him.

“You heard the lady, she said she’s not paying.” I turned
around and looked at Edward when he said that. I was taken aback when I saw
that the receptionist was looking at Edward in horror.

“Oh I’m sorry man. I didn’t know she was with you.” He
stammered out. I couldn’t believe this man’s change of behavior. One second he
was banging on someone’s door with his hand held out and the next second he was
groveling to another man. My main question was, how did Edward know the man?

“Yeah she’s with me and she told me she didn’t feel welcomed
here George. Is that true?” George shook his head from left to right quickly.

“I would have treated her with the utmost hospitality if I
knew she was yours, Edward. I swear!” Something about this scenario was wrong
and it left me feeling uneasy.

“Do you need help carrying your things, Maria?” Edward asked
and I shook my head.

“No it’s just clothes and some shoes. I can carry them.”
Edward nodded his head, but he kept his eyes locked onto George’s.

“I’m going to have a little word with George, I’ll see you
when you come down.” I decided that it’ll be best to leave those two to
whatever Edward wanted to speak to George about. I walked away from the men and
hurriedly ran up the stairs. There was definitely something not right with that
situation. The two of them knew each other and it was apparent that they were
not friends. I thought about Edward’s scarred skin and shivered as I walked in
my room. There was definitely a hidden meaning behind Edward’s scars and I
definitely didn’t want to find out what that meaning was.

“Let me do this quickly.” I felt that George was in big
trouble with Edward. I didn’t particular like the greedy man, but he was scared
stiff of Edward. I thought back to how Edward had spoken with John and I
shivered again. Even then Edward appeared to have been ready to brawl. It was a
strong possibility that Edward wasn’t as nice of a person that I initially
thought him to be. Even so, I found something attractive about him. It wasn’t
every day that I can spill my heart out to someone and feel completely relaxed
about it. I didn’t even feel that relaxed with Eric and he was a complete
sweetheart.

“I’m just confused.” I said to myself as I picked up some
clothes that had fallen onto the floor. I was so used to being with one man
that I didn’t know how to feel about other men that I came across. Could my
attraction to Eric and Edward be because I’m on the rebound? I didn’t think
that I was that horrible of a person to have sex with someone just because I
was heartbroken over someone else. I shook my head and picked up my belongings.
This was just too much to take in. I exited the room and I locked the door. I
just wanted to be focused on the fact that I was finally out of this hellhole.
I walked down the stairs slowly and went into the lobby and I walked over to
where the receptionist, George, normally sat at.

“Hello?” I called out a bit surprised that George wasn’t
there. I wanted to hand deliver the keys to him so that he wouldn’t pretend
that I never gave them back. I looked outside towards Edward’s car and saw that
he had not gotten into it. Were the two men talking still? “Hello?” I called
out again a little louder this time. I heard something loud fall onto the floor
and I jumped in fright. I had a very weird feeling about this. “Is everything
alright back there? I heard something loud fall.” I was getting afraid then
because nobody was answering me. Just when I decided to go behind the counter
to make sure that everything was alright, Edward came rushing out of the
backroom.

“Let’s go!” Edward said and walked around the counter. My
eyes went wide when I noticed him shoving money into his pocket.

“I have to give George the keys. Is he back there?” I said
and Edward took a napkin out of his pocket and grabbed the keys with it. He
threw them on the counter and grabbed my arm. “Hey!” I called out when his vice
like grip wrapped around my arm. He looked down at me then and I froze with
fear. The look that he gave me and the way that he looked sent shivers up and
down my spine.

“George had to go for a little while. He’ll get the keys.” Edward
loosened his grip then and his eyes soften. “He did apologize about treating
you badly.” He opened the car door for me and I hesitated to get into the car.
I didn’t want to anger him because I knew if he could frighten a grown man to
the point of almost pissing his pants, he could do a whole lot more to me than
that.

“Thank you.” I said feebly. He started his car and he
quickly sped out of the parking lot. My heart began beating hard in my chance
to the point that I thought I wouldn’t be able to breathe. I kept telling
myself something was wrong. I feared that he did something more than just talk
to George.
 

“Here” Edward said as he reached into his pocket and pulled
out a wad of cash.

“What is that for?” I asked baffled that he was just going
to give me some money. He grinned.

“George and I spoke about a lot of things before he had to
leave unexpectedly.” He said with an edge to his voice and I shivered out of
fear. “I’m not the nicest man I know, but I hate it when guys take advantage of
women. Especially beautiful women.” He added and he eyeballed me. The relaxed
feeling that I had when I had spoken to Edward earlier was completely gone now.
It was almost like it didn’t happened.

“What did you do?” I asked quietly because I was afraid that
he’d be angry and I was afraid of his response. Edward chose to ignore my
question.

“After we talked, George agreed to repay you what you gave
him this month and he added a little extra for your trouble.” My breath caught
in my throat. I wasn’t naïve enough to be oblivious to what Edward was saying.
George didn’t agree to anything like that because he was too much of an ass to
do that. I knew that Edward hurt George and that sound of something heavy
falling on the ground was probably George’s corpse. I couldn’t be in the car
with this man because I didn’t want to end up like George. “So this man you’re
living with, Eric, is he at home now.” Oh god, I gave Eric’s address to a crazy
person. It was a possibility that he’d try to hurt both me and Eric. I pulled
out my phone and looked at the time. I remembered Eric telling me that he
wasn’t going to be gone too long today because he didn’t want to give me a bad
impression.

“I’m… I’m not sure.” I said and bit my lower lip. How did I
get into these situations? I looked at my phone again and decided that I’d send
Eric a quick email to tell him what happened. I knew that he wasn’t going to
let me stay in his house now, but if he got police to his house before we got
there then he’d at the very least would be okay. I didn’t know what was on
Edward’s agenda, but I didn’t want Eric to get hurt because of my mistake.

“You don’t have to email Eric, Maria.” Edward said
nonchalantly. “I’ve texted him already and told him we were on our way. He
should be home now” I looked at Edward in horror.

“How did you get Eric’s number?” Eric and I were in danger
and it was all my fault. I should have known that his kindness was too out of
the ordinary. My life was already in Edward’s hands and now I probably signed
over Eric’s life to Edward as well.

“I already had it considering that he’s my brother.”
 

Chapter Six
 

When we arrived at Eric’s house and walked up to the door, I
was frightened when Eric pulled the door open with anger apparent on his face.
My lip quivered and I shook as I prepared myself for the verbal beating I was
sure that I was going to get.

“Go get her bags out of the car idiot.” I widened my eyes
when I noticed that he was staring at Edward with anger and not at me. Edward
just laughed and turned around and made his way back to his car. “Are you
alright? Did he hurt you?” Eric said as he took me into his arms. I wasn’t
expecting this reaction from him.

“I am so sorry,” I began. “You have to get out of here. I
think… I think he just killed someone.” Eric pulled me into the house when I
said that, but he left his front door opened. “We have to call the police.” I
pleaded with him. He shook his head and I stared at him in alarm.

“Did you see him do it?” Eric asked me then and I shook my
head. “No, but I got this real bad feeling” before I could finish my statement,
Edward walked in and sat my bags down.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve saw you big brother. How
have you been?” Eric turned towards Edward and glared at him.

“What’s going on Edward?” Eric said and released me from his
arms. I just told Eric that Edward just killed someone. How was he talking to
him like I only told Eric that Edward took his car without permission?

“George from the Merriman Motel was giving Maria here a hard
time. I just helped the lovely young lady out.”

 
“Motel? What were you
doing there?” Eric turned to me and asked. I was hoping that I’d never have to
tell him, but considering the situation that we were currently in, I owed him
an explanation. I told Eric about John and how I’d been living in a motel from
a month. I told him how I was about to become homeless because I was running
out of money and nobody wanted to hire someone without job experience. I told
Eric how Edward had stood up for me when John disrespected me and how he even
offered to take me to get my things. By the time that I finished telling Eric
everything I was sobbing. Instead of Eric kicking me out onto the street, he
embraced me.

“I know that we’ve just met and you probably wanted to
impress me or something like that, but you could’ve told me.” Eric stroked my
hair and I gripped his back with a need that I never thought that I had in me.
“So what do you want Edward?” Eric asked his brother while he held me in his
arms.

“Let me talk to you for a minute.” Edward said and walked
out of the Kitchen. Eric let me go and went over to the cabinet and handed a
glass to me. He poured some rum in the glass and then some coke. “Drink because
I know that you’ve had a long day. I’ll be back soon.” I looked after him and
wondered if I should just make a b-line towards the front door, but where would
I go? It was true that I didn’t see Edward murder George, but no matter how
Edward cleaned up his words, I knew that he had. I drunk the contents of the
cup and immediately poured me another cup. I was so confused and scared that I
thought that the only way I’d be able to make it through the day was if I had
more to drink. After a while, I had drained the coke and was downing the rum
plain.

“You’re my kind of woman.” I heard Edward say and I turned
towards the sound of his voice. He was blurry and I couldn’t make out the
details of his face.

“That’s enough” Eric said and grabbed the almost empty
bottle from me. Eric walked around and placed the rum back into the cabinet and
Edward sat down next to me and touched my arm.

“Hey, how about you be my girl instead of Eric’s? I can take
care of you much better than he could.” I looked at him wide eyed as my head
swayed from side to side.

“You’re… you’re crazy.” I said, but instead of screaming
like I knew sober me would have done, I clenched my thighs together instead.

“Don’t force her!” Eric yelled and Edward sighed.

“You’ll choose me after we finish.” Nothing made sense to me
then. Why was Eric letting his brother speak to me like that? Why couldn’t I
see them clearly? Edward pressed his mouth hard into mine and forced his tongue
into my mouth. I bit his tongue and he just swiped at mine harder. I wanted to
push him away, but I couldn’t. I couldn’t think anymore as he hands moved
quickly over my body. Even though I was previously scared out of my mind a
while ago, I couldn’t resist his hands over my body.

“If she says me then you’re not allowed to step foot near me
or her again.” My mind barely processed what Eric said when he bent down and
kissed my neck. I didn’t know what the brother’s had planned, but apparently
this was supposed to be the deciding factor of something. Edward pulled away
from me then and yanked me up which practically pushed Eric down. He sighed and
followed us to the couch as he began taking off his clothes.

“What are you doing?” I asked them, but my mind was too
cloudy to hear their response. I drifted in and out of consciousness as I felt
gentle hands rubbing up and down my body while a rather large cock pushed
itself into my mouth. I was surprised that I was growing hotter and hotter by
the minute. Edward’s manhood throbbed in my mouth as he filled my tongue with
his pre-cum. Eric was more gentle and considerate of me as he focused on making
me feel good instead of his own orgasm.

“You got a rubber?” I heard Edward’s lust filled voice say
just before my eyes closed and I shivered when Eric slid my pants down my legs.
I didn’t hear Eric’s response, but I felt him shift and leaned his body towards
the floor. “Move out of the way.” Edward said and I heard something being
ripped opened. I opened my eyes just in time to see Edward positioning himself
near the entrance of my freshly shaven love.

“Aah!” I called out as Edward slammed inside of me hard. He
was the complete opposite of Eric, but he was equally as talented.

“I’m sorry.” Eric said and leaned my head back so that he
could connect our mouths together. I kissed him long and hard and I felt tears
well into my eyes. My fuzzy mind might not have been able to register their
faces anymore, but it didn’t stop my sense of feeling. It felt so good to have
Edward’s cock ramming in and out of me. It felt so good that I couldn’t
remember if I hadn’t wanted him to do me or not. I looked down at Eric’s length
and despite him obviously being pissed off, he was hard as a rock. I took him
into my hand and stroked him quickly.

“Fu...” Eric bit his lip and his breathing came out quicker.

“I want you.” I told him and I felt Edward shift so that he
was laying on top of me. Eric stood up and I placed him into my mouth quickly
and sucked him the same way that drove John crazy.

“Ah. Maria.” He said my name and grabbed a fistful of hair.
I grabbed Edward’s arm with one of my hands as he continued to pound into me.
Edward was amazing, but I wanted to feel that gentleness that Eric gave to me
the night before. I knew it wasn’t going to happen though because I felt Eric’s
hips quivering and they began thrusting in my mouth. “I’m coming!” he called
out and he let out a hoarse groan as he exploded into my mouth. Edward laughed.

“Light weight,” he joked and I opened my eyes to see a
serious expression on his face. “I guess I am too.” He added and gritted his
teeth and pounded three deep times inside of me as he exploded. The deeper his
length went, the more it pressed against my spot and I came right along with
him. Breathing heavily he exited me and I could feel my juices sliding down my
legs. I opened my eyes again and I was able to make out Edward a little more
since he was close to my face. “So?” he asked and I looked at him. I guess that
meant I had to choose one of them. Even though I was attracted to Edward for a
few minutes, I couldn’t trust him. I couldn’t prove that he did anything to
George, but I knew that he had. It was apparent that Eric and Edward didn’t get
along either, but I knew that Edward said something to Eric to make him go
along with this threesome.

“Eric” I said and leaned my head against the couch cushion.

“You heard her.” Eric said and I heard Edward growl. “I’ll
keep my mouth shut, in return you never set foot around me or Maria.” Edward
sighed and moved away from me. I heard clothes hurriedly being put on and
movement towards the door. It slammed loudly and a few seconds after that I
heard a car speed off. I opened my eyes and was surprised to see Eric still
beside me. I couldn’t say anything anymore because I knew that I went over my
drinking limit. Eric embraced me and I felt his hot and slick skin and I felt
protected. I couldn’t begin to comprehend what had just happened between us, but
I knew that as long as I was in Eric’s arms I’d be protected. I’ve seen a lot
this past month and my luck didn’t appear to have gotten any better. I didn’t
want to worry about that too much now because I just wanted to feel the loving
touch that Eric was giving to me.
