Ella
I hear commotion at the door and rush to open it thinking it's Dallas again. I find Oliver on his ass on the ground and Cameron panting and looking at me with wide eyes.
"What's wrong?" He barks at me.
"Nothing, what the hell is wrong with you guys? Oliver are you okay?"
I reach down and grab his hand to pull him up. When he gets up he puts his hands on my shoulders and looks me up and town.
"What happened?" He commands nearly in the same tone as Cameron.
"Nothing why are you guys asking me that? I'm fine, everything's fine."
They turn to Dallas and he has wide eyes while he looks between his brothers and I.
"Uhh can you give us a minute Ella?"
"No. Your in front of my door and being weird as hell. What gives?"
"Can we talk inside?" Dallas asks.
"No, I have boundaries." I snark back. That came out a little rude, but oh well. I remind myself this is what they wanted. Even though they look really sexy in their uniforms and so.much.foreporn.
"She has a male coming over." Dallas rats me out to his brothers.
I squeak out when I'm picked up and thrown over someone's shoulder. My head is hanging in front of a really firm butt I want to grab but I have boundaries, so I can't. I push up on the males back to look at the other two and I see it's Oliver who's gone cave man on me.
"Taddle tale!" I scream at Dallas. Oliver lets me slide down the front of his body until I'm on my feet in front of him. He has his hands on my hips so I push him away forcefully with his chest.
"Boundaries!" I scream.
I'm mad now. They don't want me and throw me away, but won't let another male touch me?!
"Who's the male?" Oliver barks in my face. I push him again and walk to the other side of the room putting distance between the three of them and myself.
"He is no one you need to concern yourself with. I'm having a male over and soon so get your shit together and get out!"
"Are you dating him?" It's Oliver again.
"Not yet, but maybe I will. Who knows and why the fuck do you care?!"
"Beautiful girl, calm down please. We are sorry for barging in here, but.."
I cut Cameron off.
"Don't call me that! Who do you think you are demanding to know who I date? It's of no concern to you!"
"Like hell it doesn't concern me." Oliver steps closer, reaching for me and I back away again.
"You didn't want me! You told me to stay away from you and that I was interfering with your job. You told me you didn't want me. Why are you here? Why can't you just leave me alone?"
I sit on my bed and cover my face with my hands so they can't see the tears fall.
I feel someone try to pull my wrists away and I pull out of their grasp. I assume it's Oliver.
"Baby, look at me." It's Cameron. And he called me baby? My shock at the nick name brings my eyes up to his.
"We've gone about this the wrong way. I want to take blame for that. I am so sorry that we caused you even a moment of pain. It was never my intention to do that. I was trying to protect you and my brothers and I didn't do that as eloquently as I should have." He cringes.
"We want you. Believe me Ella we are past the point of want, we need you. You fill our thoughts every moment of every day. Since the moment we saw you freshman year we have been enamored with you and the feeling has only gotten stronger. We have tried to keep our distance because we don't deserve you. We are males with no families, no education..nothing to offer you. We aren't acceptable males for a woman like you. You should chose males who are successful and equal to you. That is the reason we have tried to create space. We had hoped you might consider Oliver for your network.. so when he said that you guys kissed I panicked. I didn't want him being caught and fired or sent away from you. I wanted you both to have the opportunity to start your relationship on good standing. He needs a career to support you if you were to chose him. He needs to maintain his hardworking reputation to contend with other males more suited for you. That is why I said what I said, it was out of fear that the choices he made now might negate his chance in your future."
I'm stunned for a moment. He thinks they are unworthy? All this time I assumed it was he who thought I was unworthy. He only speaks of Oliver in my future, but not himself or Dallas?
"I'm confused. You talk as if you three share the same feelings for me, but you only have fear for my potential future with Oliver?"
He blows out a breath and he's so close it lifts the strands of hair off my sticky face. I'm still in work out clothes I bet I stink.
"Dallas and I are.. older. We didn't want to assume you would consider us and your connection with us felt different then it did with Oliver."
"It was different because you pushed me away! The only difference was Oliver was clear about his intentions and made that known to me. He showed me affection. He said he loved me. You pushed me as far away from you as you could" I look to Dallas,
"And you were reserved about your feelings. I thought you were unsure about me or unwilling to share with your brothers. You both should have just been honest and this could have gone differently!"
"I'm sorry Ella. I was trying to respectful. My feelings were and are so strong, but I wanted to be respectful of the fact that you are too good for someone like me. I didn't want to assume you wanted me to touch you, let alone covet you. I love you beautiful girl. My love only grows stronger with each passing day." Dallas is looking into my eyes as he says it and I believe him. He loves me.
Cameron gets shoved to the side and Oliver is there, in between my knees with my face in his hands.
"Of course I love you. You know that, you said it yourself. I want you and only you Ella. There is no one else for me. Let me do this the right way. Let me show respect to you and build standing in my career so I can be a worthy male of you. Let me do this right." He stressed the word right. A thought dawns on me and it's the most inappropriate timing, but I have to know.
"You didn't get uhh turned on when we kissed. Are you not attracted to me or did I do it wrong?" I whisper. A look of uncertainty crosses his face and my chest tightens. He looks nervous to tell me. How bad was I?! He's quiet with wide eyes.
Cameron clears his throat.
"I can uhh answer that for him. I know that was meant for him, but it makes him a little more uncomfortable to talk about so I'll field that question. We um have been getting these injections to suppress our hormones. We agreed to them when we were hired, it's the reason we are paid more then the other guards and are more efficient. Our sexual urges aren't present in the form of arousal. We still feel the urges and feel the arousal, but we can't get erections."
"What?" I squeak out.
"You can't get boners? Clarify that for me-you don't get hard because you are given injections by the university?"
"Well from our security firm. Not the university, but it is a reason why the university values us so highly. We are willing to sacrifice a great deal to be employed here and it makes us a safer choice because assault is less likely." Dallas tells me.
"I had the biggest imaginary boner you would have ever seen. I swear to you sweet girl, I am so fucking attracted to you. I would have probably cum in my pants just from your pretty ass on my lap." Oliver kisses my forehead. I clench at those words from his pouty lips. I want him to tell me more.
"Tone it down Romeo." Cameron sounds exasperated, but he's smiling.. he's not upset.
"Okay recap. All three of you are interested in me romantically? And would be willing to share?"
I get three nods.
"And your dicks don't work because your employer took away a uhhh.. human right you have to get hard?"
There more nods. And Cameron replies,
"We signed a 5 year contract. We would be finished sometime next year when you're in grad school and already planned to look for less restrictive employment."
"By restrictive you mean employers who would allow you to use your own appendage?"
Everyone's blushing. This isn't going to work for me. I get three more nods. I clap my hands.
"I have a lot to think about, could I talk to you tomorrow?" Everyone looks confused at my abrupt ending.
"Of course, take all of the time you need." Cameron nods his head and turns towards the door.
"I'm not going anywhere beautiful." Dallas says.
"Don't take too long to think okay? And cancel that fucking date." Oliver smacks a kiss on my forehead and I giggle.
"Cancelled." All three of them look relieved and I smile.
I have a lot to do.
