Undeniable Desires

Chapter Eleven

Author's Note: This chapter is hella porny. Read at your own risk.

Emmalee stared at Asher and Declan as the two glared at each other from across her tiny makeshift dining room table. What had started as a lovely breakfast quickly turned sour when the two couldn't agree whose turn it was to take Emmalee out that evening. A month ago, she would have become quickly flustered with just the thought of either of them becoming upset over something so silly as to whose turn it was. The idea that a single man let alone two would have been completely preposterous to her. A lot had changed in a month though, and after that morning, the trio had fallen pattern of sorts.

Most nights the boy's stayed over her house, sharing her bed, though nothing ever went any further than a heated make out session here and there between any of the three of them. Every Wednesday night she was treated with a night out with one of the two where she was always shown something knew or ate somewhere different. The more and more she spent time with them and got to know them both individually, the more she began to realize she actually liked them both for many different reasons. And that realization frightened her a bit.

A soft sigh passed her lips and she rolled her eyes. "You two are being ridiculous." She said at last, pushing up from her chair and pushing it back in. She wasn't sure if it was her words or movement that got the two to look up from each other. "I think you two need to go out. With each other." She said as she began collecting long forgotten dishes. "I need a break."

Two sets of eyes shot up at her before the words fully left her mouth; Asher gaping and Declan's brow twisted in silent question.

"What?" She asked, rolling her eyes as she headed to the kitchen to wash up.

"Tired of us already, love?"

The drawl of his British accent sent a shiver down her spine. It was something she thought she would never get used to.  Placing the dishes in the sink she turned, not at all surprised to see the two men leaning against the doorway.

"Of course not." She said with an exaggerated roll of her eyes.

A low growl seemed to have erupted from Asher's throat as he pushed himself from the door frame. "Roll your eyes again Emma and seen what happens." He bit out, his tone low.

Emma couldn't help the widening of her eyes, straightening a bit as she propped her hands on her hips on silent challenge as Declan snorted back a laugh.  "All I'm trying to say is, you two have spent so much time trying to woo me that you seem to have forgotten that you two are the ones actually in a relationship." She said, ignoring Asher's previous warning and rolling her eyes again.  "And it's making you grumpy!" She added with an accusing point of her finger at Asher.

She barely blinked  and before she knew it Asher had crossed the kitchen, pulling her roughly against his taller frame. His hands squeezed her ass causing her to gasp, arching up into him. "If you think—"

Emma didn't know what she was thinking. Hell, she didn't know what he was thinking, but the next thing she knew was on the tips of her toes, pressing her lips against his, effectively silencing him.  She heard Declan chuckle in the background and slowly backed down, pulling free from his grasp.  "See, grumpy." She smiled, turning quickly to start the dishes.

Shocked, Asher turned back to look at Dec who only laugh again, lifting his shoulders in a shrug. "I don't think she's wrong, love." He said from his spot, perched at the entryway. "Either way, I don't think it would hurt."

"Great." Emma said as she rinsed of a plate and put it in the strainer. "It's settled. Now get out."

It had been a month and she still hadn't found a job. If she were to be completely honest the two of them had completely manipulated all her time, pulling her into this whirlwind romance, that she has completely forgotten she had responsibilities to deal with. So when the first of the month came and she realized rent was due she had been overcome with guilt. A feeling that had only sunk deeper when she came to learn that Declan and Asher had taken it upon themselves to pay it once again. And keep her kitchen stocked with food. And the heating fixed in her apartment.
