(Aria’s first night)

She didn’t realize it, but I sat in the chair, watching her sleep from across the room. It wasn’t until the sun started to peak that I got up quietly and left. I know it may sound as though I am a stalker, and maybe it is a little creepy, but I needed to see her. It was essential for me to be able to watch her and take in as much as I could without her knowing. My sanity wouldn’t allow anything less. It may not seem like it, but she is safe here, within these walls. We protect what is ours, and she will soon come to realize it.

It feels like a lifetime ago when I last held her in my arms and protected her. We were best friends, but deep down we were more than that. We never put a label on it, we just knew that she was my person, and I was hers. Neither one of us dated throughout high school; there was no need when we did everything together.

Reminiscing about that last night is all I’ve done since I left Aria...

    Knox (cont.) There was no intimacy between us up until this point, and that was okay, because we were both fine just being around each other. We had discussed it, though. I was moving away, and she wanted to give herself to me as a going away present, but I couldn’t do it. She was only sixteen. I didn’t want her making that decision only because I was leaving. It’s not that I didn’t want her, God knows how many times I went home and jacked off in the shower after spending an evening in her presence. I go back to my earlier thoughts of our last day together, and the promise that she made to me... (Flashback cont.) I check out Aria as I hold the car door to my Monte Carlo open for her. Spring is still a few weeks away, so there is a chill to the evening air, but that didn’t stop her from wearing a sleeveless dress that hugs her perfect figure. It reaches to right above the knees. It’s deep blue in color that matches the blue in her eyes. She paired the dress with a croppe

  • Aria's Choice   Chapter 20 - I'm Sorry

    KNOX I’m staring out the window in my office, but all I’m seeing is that sixteen-year-old girl who made a promise to me. I’ve tried not thinking about it over the last few years. Even though I’ve kept eyes on Aria since I found her again, doesn’t mean that I was in any position to bring her back into my life. I wanted her far away from this life, but now, it’s too late. I know I could have continued to stay away, let her live her life, but I am tired of trying to be the good guy. That guy has been gone for a long time, and now it’s time to take what is owed to me, it’s time to cash in on that promise made all those years ago. A knock on the door disturbs my thoughts, “Come in.” I call out, sounding a little surly. I already know that it’s Aria, because Merk and Jor will just open the door after they knock. There is a brief silence as I continue to stare out the window, my hands behind my back. I can feel her eyes burning a hole in my back as she looks me over. Yeah, I k

  • Aria's Choice   Chapter 21 - His Tastes

    My lids flutter open, and I’m disoriented for a moment. Last, I remember, I was in Knox’s office, and now I’m in my bedroom. Leaning up on my elbows, I glance around the room. I’m alone, but I have the eerie feeling of being watched thanks to the camera in the corner. Noticing that it’s much later in the day, I frown as I climb out of bed and head to the bathroom. Remembering what had taken place with Knox, I bring my hand between my legs, thinking I should jump into the shower to clean myself, but realize that I am clean down there. Knox must have taken care of it when I passed out. I’m not sure how I feel about that, but I guess it doesn’t really matter. I’m theirs to do with as they see fit for the next month, so I need to get used to it. Memories of what took place with Knox has me smiling when I walk back into my room. At first, I don’t see the tall figure leaning against the wall by the door as I move deeper into the room. As soon as I see slight movement in my peripheral v

  • Aria's Choice   Chapter 22 - Dessert

    I can feel the heat coming off Merrick and see the lust in his eyes. He wants me. If I’m being honest, I’ve wanted him the second I saw him and Jory in the diner. Neither one of us move, not until my eyes glance down at his mouth. A growl erupts just before Merrick crashes his mouth against mine. He doesn’t do anything else but kiss me. He meant what he said about not touching me until I say. When he pulls away, we are both breathing hard.“There are papers on the side table that I want you to go through if you want to take this further. Fill them out and bring them to me if you decide you want to proceed.” Placing a kiss on my forehead, he stands up and places me on my feet before heading towards the door, “Oh,” he turns back around, “You will find lingerie in the bottom drawer of the dresser. I know Knox won’t like it if we keep you naked against your will, so you will be allowed to wear only what is in that drawer.” He smirks at me, and then with a wink, he’s gone. After finding th

    JORY The look on Aria’s face is priceless, and if I went by just the deer in the headlight look that she’s giving me right now, I would call it off. Unlike some, I can read a woman’s body language really well. Aria may be scared, but she’s also turned on. Aside from her nipples hardening through the lace teddy that she’s wearing; she is squeezing her thighs together to try and help with the tingles that are running through her core. Merk begins to clear the dishes from the table while Knox stands and holds his hand out to Aria. She trembles as she takes his hand and gets up out of her chair. She glances over at me, but all I do is grin and pat the table in the spot that I want her. Knox brings her around, so she is at the head of the table and then lifts her by her waist, setting her on the edge. “Lay back, sweetness.” I instruct her. Surprisingly, she obeys and does exactly what I tell her to do, with her legs dangling over the edge. Knox and I grab her from underneath a

  • Aria's Choice   Chapter 24 - A Lesson in Submission

    MERRICK After our little dessert session, I carry Aria up to her room and set her down on the edge of the tub while I turn the water on and sprinkle some bath salts into the water. When I start to undress, Aria’s eyes widen as she watches me pull my t-shirt over my head. “What are you doing?” She asks astonishingly. “What do you think I’m doing, Baby Doll? I’m going to join you.” I’m only wearing joggers, so I loop my thumbs into the waistband and push them down. When I stand straight up, her eyes bulge out at the sight of my cock, and she quickly turns as she covers her eyes with her hands. “I c-can bathe by myself. I don’t need help.” She stutters a bit. “I know that, but you’re not going to.” I climb over the edge and sink down into the water, “Aria, get your cute ass in here before I pull you in.” I can’t help but smirk at her shyness. Her actions only prove that she is still a virgin. As much as I don’t like sleeping with virgins, I would definitely make an exceptio

    MERRICK I’m just coming out of my bathroom from showering, a towel still wrapped around my waist, when I hear a knock at my bedroom door and Jor pokes his head in, “What’s going on?” He asks as he steps into my room, closing the door behind him. “Oh, you know, just moping around, waiting for Knox to get his head out of his ass and take care of our girl, so we can finally get some.” Going to my closet, I pull a button-down shirt off a hanger and toss it on the bed as I go to the dresser for some underwear and jeans. “So, I’m not the only one going crazy about not having sex?” He chuckles. “Fuck man, I’m walking around with a hardon all day long!” I look down at the bulge in my towel. “Oh, I’ve noticed.” Jory snickers, “You know, I can help you with that.” I glance over at him for a moment, looking him up and down. He’s dressed in his usual t-shirt and ripped jeans with black combat boots on. He’s definitely a good-looking guy, but I love my women. Although, I h

  • Aria's Choice   Chapter 26 - Man Up

    I’ve been struggling to keep my emotions in check all week. As much as I love having Aria under the same roof, I can’t stop feeling betrayed, even after having her for dessert. Let me tell you though, that was phenomenal; she tastes divine, and I can’t wait to be between her legs again. Still, once it was over, the sting hit me once again. I don’t know why I can’t get over it. I know that it is my fault that we lost touch, and it’s also my fault that I kept my distance after finding her again. Call me a selfish bastard, but I still had hope that she would save herself for me. Sitting at my desk as I stare out the window, I watch the raindrops as they hit the glass and slither down to the bottom. It’s been raining all morning which does nothing to help improve my dark mood. On top of work and trying to figure out my feelings with Aria, my two best friends have been sulking around, sending me glares whenever they see me, because I haven’t slept with Aria. I’m grateful that they both de

    MERRICK As I stand with my two best friends in the doorway of the playroom, our eyes land on one of the most precious possessions that we own...our wife. I say own because we do. We have owned her mind, body, and soul ever since the day we purchased Aria on the auction block about eight years ago. However, she owns all three of us as well. She may submit to us, but we are all equal in our unique dynamic. "Such a beautiful sight, Baby Doll," I'm the first to go to her as she kneels in the middle of the room, waiting for her Masters to come, "What role do you feel like playing today? Do you want to be our dirty little whore, a cum slut, pain slut, or all of the above?" "I will take option D, Sir." She grins up at me. "All of the above it is, then," I smirk. I stand in front of her in just a pair of gray sweatpants, looking down and grinning. There is no need to tell her what to do because Aria knows her part well and is perfect at it. As she comes up on her knees, sh

    Waking up early has never been my thing, but on this particular day, my eyes snap open before the alarm even goes off. I lay in the big bed all by myself and stare up at the ceiling as I think about what this day will bring. I am getting married. Well, the four of us will be uniting, but I like to think of it as marrying my other two men. I‘ve waited for this day for over a year, and now that it’s here, I’m nervous as hell. What if nobody shows up? I know that not everyone understands our dynamic, but I need this day to be special for not only me but for Merrick and Jory as well. Knox is already legally married to me, so he’s participating in it for me because I asked him to. Not only will I be uniting with Merrick and Jory, and they with me, but Knox will unite with them as well, even though they don’t have that kind of a relationship. It’s a sign that we are all in this together, no matter what. I thought it was cute that they wanted to sleep elsewhere the night before the ce

  • Aria's Choice   Chapter 173 - Guest List

    "Your body is our playground." Knox's words have been playing in my head repeatedly all week. Is it wrong that I find it to be one of my favorite phrases they say to me? I can never get enough of any of my men, and even though I was worried going into this week's fuck fest, as Knox called it, it has been nothing short of amazing. I'm sad to see that it's coming to an end. With it being our last day locked in the playroom, Knox has invited the others to join us again. What I was expecting was a hard-core fuck session, but instead, all three overwhelm me with their loving touches and how they use my body with gentleness, showing me their love. Even as I take Merrick into my mouth, there is no shoving himself in deep. In fact, I'm the one that has to work his cock all the way into my throat. Then there is Jory. When you think of anal, you think of getting pounded; well, at least I do because that's how it usually is, but Jory takes making love to a whole other level as he does pre

  • Aria's Choice   Chapter 172 - Role-Playing

    KNOX In the days following our return with Jordan, we all were on high alert, waiting for the next shoe to drop, only it never did. We learned that both Jory's parents were sentenced to many years in federal prison for embezzlement, fraud, and tax evasion on top of the kidnapping charges. They will not be getting out until the boys are adults. Since learning that we no longer had to worry about the Payne's, any ex-fiancée, or a Mafia Kingpin stalker, life has finally become more enjoyable. Of course, I still keep guards on Aria and the boys because one can't be too careful, but at least we don't look over our shoulders at every turn. The boys are about to turn six months old, and I couldn't be more excited about it. My wife doesn't know that I've come up with a plan that may seem a bit much for some, but it's a part that I want to play with her. One that Merrick came up with and has helped with the setup. Our girl is a little freak regarding kink, and I hope she is okay

  • Aria's Choice   Chapter 171 - Heading Home

    JORY It feels so surreal knowing that my parents will finally get what they deserve. Don't get me wrong, and I'm grateful to them for giving me life and my twin brother; even though our time was cut short, I'm happy to have had him in my life. As for the rest, my parents can kiss my ass; they never cared for me, so I learned long ago not to care for them. They could have gone on living their lives and doing illegal business had they not come back into my life, first with Sandra and then to try and take my son. I don't think I will ever know the real reason why they only took one twin, but it doesn't take a genius to figure out that it was because of his name. I assume they were trying to replace the son they had lost, and since my son was his namesake, they took him. Would they have taken either of them had we not chosen my brother's name, though? We will never know because I will not waste another breath trying to talk to them about it. "Do you want me to hold him for a wh

    "Watch your step, baby," Knox says as he takes my hand and helps me step out of the jet. I stand here for a moment, looking at our surroundings before descending the stairs. Since I only threw one outfit for each of us into the suitcase, we don't have much to carry. Merrick brings up the back carrying the luggage, and we stand just inside the building to wait out of sight for the Payne's to arrive. When we see a limo pull up, we know it's there for one reason, to carry my son away. My heart races as the minutes tick by. I study each of my guys, but they are too concentrated on staring at the sky. Smiling just a bit, I think back to when I had nobody in my life except for my mother, who was still in a coma. Now I have three strong men willing to fight for and with me, who love me to no end. As I told Merrick, I can never regret making that one choice that led me to them. I should write Scarlett a Thank You letter for giving me her card that faithful night in the diner. If it

    MERRICK “God, I needed that, Baby Doll.” I kiss her forehead before untangling myself from all our bodies now on the floor of the jet. “I’m always here for you, Sir. Thank you for helping to clear my head.” Aria smiles up at me and then raises her hand. I take it and help her off the floor while Knox and Jory get up. I drag her into the bathroom and set her on the little counter, spreading her beautiful thighs so I can clean her up. We will be landing soon enough, and I’m not sure yet if we will get a hotel first or get right to business. I hope for the latter, so we can get our son and go straight home, but I know things tend to not work out the way we want. “Aria,” I stop and drop the wet cloth into the sink before grabbing the towel, “What do you plan on doing once we find the Paynes?” Our girl looks me dead in the eye, “Whatever it takes.” We continue our stare-off for a few more seconds before I reach up and gently wrap my hand around her neck. Bringing my

    "Are these what you're waiting for?" I hold up the three passports. "What are you doing here, Aria?" My husband's question irks me just a little bit. "I'm not going to sit at home while my baby is thousands of miles away, in another country, with people he doesn't even know!" I hand him his passport before handing the other two to Jory and Merrick. "What about Jayden?" Jory asks. My hardest decision was whether to leave my other son safe at home with my mother and guards or bring him along. I chose to leave him behind since the threat is now heading to another country. It still doesn't ease my worry, but I need to get my other son back and bring him home to his brother. "It's safer to leave him with Mom, Dirk, and Ward. Damon will also send a few guys over from KMJ to secure the house while we are gone." "Baby, you should be with Jayden," Knox says, "We have this. We will bring Jordan home." "Jayden will be fine. Jordan is the one who needs me at the moment."

  • Aria's Choice   Chapter 167 - Searching For Jordan

    JORY My parents went too far this time! It's one thing to fuck with me, but to mess with my family and take my kid? They are going to regret giving birth to me for sure now! I didn't need to look for proof, I already knew who had taken Jordan, so I called my buddy Brant, who works closely with the Governor, and told him all about my parent's illegal dealings. After emailing him specific details about my father's business, and side hustles, Brant promised that he would get the information to the ones that would take care of it. He wasn't making promises on the exact timing, but he's sure they will be picked up in the next twenty-four hours or so. "Sweetness," I pull Aria into my arms once the police finally leave, "Try and get some sleep. I will have Ward and Dirk stay with you, and your mother and Nikki are on their way here now." "Wait, where are you, Knox, and Merrick going?" She asks, and I can tell she's worried and maybe a bit upset that we are leaving her at all.
