Triple Threat (11 page)

When I woke up again, Giovanni was still asleep. I ran my hand over his arm. I liked the way his muscles felt. Then I slid my hand up his leg, it felt so strong. I glided my hand over his firm ass. He had such an awesome body.

Then I felt bad I was doing it as he slept. I put my arm back over his side and pressed my body against his. During the night, I had woken up from a second nightmare and he soothed me back to sleep easily, which had made me feel closer to him.

I looked up at him and caressed his cheek. He had so many amazing qualities and we got along great. I realized I felt so much more for him than I thought. I was willing to do anything for him, even fake sex to get back at his brother. I ran my fingers through his hair while wishing he felt the same.

I had to be falling for him. There was no other explanation. I thought of him night and day, sometimes even when I was in bed with Chad. I had imagined more than once during our lovemaking that Chad was Giovanni. And every time he and I went out alone, he made me feel special, even without holding hands.

Suddenly, I felt Giovanni’s hand move down my back and over my ass. He grabbed it hard. I smiled, thinking it was payback for what I did to him. Then his hand moved under my top and up my back.

“You feel so good,” he said.

He rolled on top of me and started kissing me deeply as he caressed my right breast over my pajamas. I closed my eyes, getting lost in it, eager to take it further. I ran my hands over his bare back as he began teasing me with his tongue.

I sighed when he shifted his body and his stiff cock was against my leg. I was so into it, I opened my legs and his hips slid between mine. I whispered. “Giovanni, I want you.”

He put his hands under my shoulders and started rubbing his rigid cock over me as he moaned, making it all worse. I could feel my panties getting wetter after each stroke.

“Please, stop teasing me,” I begged him. “Just do it already.” I didn’t know how long I could take it.

“Oh, shit!” he shouted as he woke up. Then he got off me fast and put his hands over his face. “I’m
so
sorry.”

I smiled, thinking about how good his cock felt. “Relax, it’s OK.” I put an arm around him and lay my head on his chest. I wanted to say, “Just fuck me already.” But I couldn’t.

“Really?” He looked down at me put his hands on my back.

I sighed. “You were dreaming. It’s no big deal.”

“I’m sorry. I was having a dream about… Oh, damn. I can’t tell you.” I felt his breathing get quicker.

I looked up at him. I knew what he had been dreaming of, but not with whom. “Was it that good?” I wanted badly to put my hand over his cock, but I was afraid that would scare him off.

“You have no idea.”

“So tell me,” I encouraged him.

His face turned bright red, which made me think the dream was about me. I got happy for a minute, then realized he was in bed with me. Who
else
would he dream about?

“Was I good?”

“Yeah, and you were so hot… Hey! I didn’t say it was you.”

I laughed. “I’m sorry. You made it obvious. I’m glad you dream about me.” Then I regretted my words. “I mean…”

“Do you dream about me, too?” he asked.

I closed my eyes, hoping he didn’t just want sex from me. “Yes.”

“Am I good in your dreams?”

I bit my lip and sighed. “Good is an understatement.”

Then my phone rang. I climbed over Giovanni to reach it. As I basically lay on top of him, I opened my phone. Giovanni’s hand moved over my bare back and his stiff cock was against my thigh. That was the best feeling.

Chad asked, “Hey, you still in bed?”

“Uh-huh,” I said into the phone, while Giovanni was tracing the tattoo on my lower back.

I heard Chad stretching. “Were you OK last night?”

“I was fine.” I turned my head and looked at Giovanni.

He lightly smacked my ass. “Hey, get up. I gotta pee.”

“Who’s that?” Chad asked.

I got off of Giovanni and watched him leave the room. Then I replied, “Giovanni came to check on me.”

“That was nice of him. I should’ve done that.” Chad sounded unhappy.

I sighed. “I’m OK, Chad. I’ll see you tonight.”

When I put the phone down, Giovanni was standing in the doorway. “You don’t want him to know I stayed here?”

“I don’t think he can handle it.” I told him.

He frowned. “Yeah. He loves you.”

“But I don’t love him and he knows it. I can be with whoever I want.”

“You date, right?”

“Sure I do, but I’m not with anyone now.”

“Me neither.”

I watched him hesitate. I wished I knew what he was thinking. Then I wondered if I got him to sleep with me, would he start to like me. That sounded a bit backwards, but I didn’t know how else to go about it. He dreamed about me. That was good. Maybe I could get him to show me what I did to him in his dreams.

“Will you tell me what I did in your dream?”

He looked away. “I can’t. It was just a stupid dream. Those things can’t happen.”

I got up and put my arms around him. I was starting to feel some confidence. “Maybe they can.”

He looked down at me. “Why would you say that?”

“Because we can make it happen.”

He closed his eyes for a second then looked at me again. His mouth opened but no words came out. Then he put his arms around me too, before leaning down and kissing my lips.

I was so glad he did it. I kissed him back, and soon we were kissing over and over. Our breathing got faster, and we ran our hands over each other. I pulled him towards the bed. Then I let him go as I lay down.

Giovanni took a deep breath then got on top of me. We started kissing again while his rock-solid dick was pressed against my pelvis. I slid my hands into the back of his pajama bottom and kept them there. He ran one hand through my hair and the other he put under my top.

“I never needed someone this much before,” he whispered.

When he had just started exploring my bare breast, his phone on the nightstand started ringing. “Just ignore it. I want you. Please.”

He pulled away and sighed. “It could be my mom. Maybe she needs me.” Then he got to his knees and grabbed the phone. His eyes closed and I knew he was annoyed. “Yeah,” he answered. “She’s fine… Chad, really she was OK… I didn’t stay long… I know you do… OK, I’ll see you later.” Then he got up off of the bed. “I can’t do this to him.”

“Do what?” I sat up.

He walked to his bag on the floor and picked it up. “You belong with him. This isn’t right. I can’t just have sex with you like this. It has to mean something… and you’re with him.”

“No, I’m not!” I almost shouted as he left the room.

I felt like crying. I thought I finally had Giovanni where I wanted him, but then Chad went and spoiled it.
What did Chad say to him?

By the time Giovanni was back in my room, I was crying. I couldn’t help it. I finally started to open up to Giovanni and it fell apart. He was leaving.

The bed moved and soon after I felt a hand wiping away my tears. “I didn’t mean to make you cry. I’m sorry I started kissing you. I just can’t do this. I care too much about you to ruin our friendship this way. I know you and Chad are more than friends. I get it. It’s OK. I won’t stand in his way.”

“But…”

He put his finger on my lips. “I can’t hurt him this way. He was so angry at himself for not staying with you last night. If he knew I was in your apartment all night, he’d probably wanna hit me. And if he knew what we were just doing, he’d kill me. Please don’t feel bad. I… I gotta go. I wish things were different.” Then he kissed me again and left.

I blew it. I should have kept my big mouth shut. I knew telling him how I felt was the wrong thing. Everything was a mess.
How am I going to look at him tonight?
We had another gig and I had to see him.

Almost an hour later, Chad called again. “Baby, you’re crying. What happened?”

“I’m fine.” I had been in the kitchen getting some water and trying to stop crying.

“What’s wrong? I know you’re lying.”

I couldn’t tell him the truth. It would hurt him too much. “Nothing,” I sniffled quietly. “I’m just watching a sad movie.”

“Baby, are you sure? It sounds like more.”

“Chad, please.”

“When did Giovanni leave?”

I took a shaky breath, feeling a new wave of tears about to start. “I gotta go.” Then I closed my phone.

I ran to my room and fell on my bed, face down, as more tears started to fall. I wished I was able to convince Giovanni that Chad and I were only friends. But then I realized we were more. We had become lovers, too. I didn’t know it was obvious.

Then I closed my eyes and cried even harder. I didn’t want to be without Giovanni. I wanted to be with him all the time. I was so angry that I ruined all my progress by… By what? What
did
I do wrong? I wasn’t sure. Maybe I was too aggressive or he just didn’t care enough.

“Baby, why were you crying?” I heard someone say later.

I opened my eyes. Chad had used the set of keys I gave him. He was sitting on my bed next to me. I quickly sat up and hugged him. Tears started to fall again.

“It’s OK, baby. Did you have a bad dream?”

I couldn’t tell him. “Just hold me.”

“I’m here, baby.” He caressed my back and held me as close as he could.

When my tears stopped, I looked up at him. He put a hand through my hair then kissed me. I felt guilty at first. Giovanni had only left a few hours before. But he didn’t want me. I just knew I had no chance with him. I had to give up the only man I’d really wanted to be with in months. I didn’t know how I was going to do that.

“I love you.” Chad whispered as he laid me back on the bed, forcing me to think of him.

Things got intense quick. Our clothes were thrown everywhere within seconds. Then Chad grabbed me and rolled on top of me. I picked up my legs and wrapped them around him.

“Baby. Wow,” he said as he slid into me.

I grabbed his shoulders and wished I loved him too. At least I could feel his love inside of me, as if he filled my body with it. It was unbelievable the way he made me feel when we had sex. I pulled his face down to mine and kissed him as his hair cascaded around me. It was exactly what I needed now. I needed to be loved.

“Tell me what you want. Please, baby.”

I enjoyed how gentle he was sometimes, but I needed to forget that morning. “Go faster.” We started to move quicker. I pulled his hair, feeling the buildup begin. I moaned loudly. “That’s it!” I sensed my body reacting to him. Then I screamed as my insides exploded with pleasure. I gripped Chad’s shoulder with one hand and pulled his hair with the other.

Chad hung his head down. “Baby, that feels so amazing.”

When my body relaxed, we both picked up our pace even more, moaning together. It took less than a minute for me to scream again. That time, my back arched as well, because it was stronger.

Chad shifted his hips a bit. He started to make more noise, and so did I. It had gotten so much better, and I knew it was going to end soon, but I didn’t want it to. I grabbed Chad’s arms firmly and cried out his name. Then I lifted my hips up to him as I trembled internally.

Then Chad pushed inside me more and held me tight. “Oh, Crystal, baby… Shit!” Then he quickly pulled out of me.

I looked up at him and suddenly realized what we had done. “Oh my God. We forgot a condom again.” I closed my eyes. “Please tell me you got out in time.”

He rested his head on me and sighed. “Yeah, but that was so close. And I messed up your sheets. I’m sorry.”

“It’s OK.” I let my body relax. I had wanted him so badly, I wasn’t thinking.

“Your dad would kill me if I got you pregnant.”

That night we played at a club on South Street in Philadelphia. We got there early because we didn’t hit traffic. Giovanni was avoiding me and seemed angry while the guys were unpacking the vans.

At one point, Chad called Giovanni over to us. “Keep an eye on her. I gotta piss.” He was nervous that another jerk would bother me.

“Yeah, sure.” Giovanni stood next to me, but didn’t even look at me.

“I’m sorry,” I said and put my hand on his arm.

He pulled away.

“Giovanni, please talk to me.” I got nothing. “Is it because I kissed you?”

He exhaled loudly. “I kissed you first. Just drop it, please.”

Mark, one of the roadies came up to us. “Giovanni, I can’t get your bass pedal to…”

He cut Mark off. “Just fucking fix it and leave me alone!”

“OK, that’s it!” I shouted and grabbed his hand. He tried to pull away, but I held on tight. I pulled him to the back door. “Look, I don’t know why you’re mad at me, but that was not my intention this morning. I like hanging out and going to clubs with you. Please don’t let my stupidity ruin what we built.”

“I’m not mad at you, Crystal. I’m mad at myself. I shouldn’t have let it go so far. You don’t deserve to be treated that way. Maybe if Chad wasn’t a factor, we could…” He trailed off in frustration. “I just wanna punch something.”

I wondered if it had been a long time since he had sex. That would explain some of his extreme frustration. He seemed to be overreacting a bit. I felt so bad for him that I hugged him.

“You’re making it worse.”

I moved my hands over his shirt. “Just relax, and forget about Chad.”

“Feel better now, bro?” I heard Rosario say from behind me. “You got her to…”

“Shut the fuck up!” Giovanni yelled at his brother, interrupting him.

I looked up, not understanding what his brother was talking about. “Got me to what?” I asked.

“Nothing, Crystal. He’s just being a pain in the ass. Go away, Rosario.”

I heard Rosario laughing as he walked away. He was annoying sometimes. I guess that’s what big brothers are for. Mine were annoying too, before they left home.

Giovanni gently pushed me away. “After this morning, I can’t have you so close to me for a while, please. I’ll deal with it somehow. Things’ll go back to the way they were before. We’ll just be friends again. No more kissing and wanting to have sex with you, really.”
