Chapter Two: Daniel
The asshole. That’s who I was to Lydia, but when I heard her sounding so distraught on the phone, my protective instincts went into overdrive. As children, we had been close, but when our teenage years hit, the three of us slowly began to drift away from her. Her skills as a dancer had increased, and let’s just say that her mom made it very clear where her loyalties lay.
My little girl needs to succeed. After she told us that, Lydia’s training regime became more intense, and she was no longer the girl that would climb up trees after us. After school, her time would be taken up with private dance classes and we would never see her, except during school hours.
I had gotten into the habit of winding her up, mostly because it was the only time I would see the spark within her come to life.
However, the thought of her being hurt made all of my hidden feelings for this girl come to life. She had no fucking clue how much power or control she had over me. Fuck, over all three of us. Unfortunately, she also had no clue about the secrets each of us had.
Mine and Colt’s specifically.
“Was she okay?” Colt asked as he took some salad from the fridge. “Did she sound upset or…?”
“A little.” I reached for him and wrapped my arm around his waist. “You know Lydia, though. Brave face for everything.”
“True.” He tossed the lettuce onto the side and reached up, entwining his arms around my shoulders. “Do you know how hard it’ll be, not being able to do this with her living with us?” he asked.
I raised an eyebrow at him. “Or we could just tell her?” I asked.
“No,” he immediately answered with a sigh. “She wouldn’t understand.”
“What?” I asked. “That the three of us have shared a few girls which resulted in me and you getting closer?”
He tossed his head back with a laugh. “You say that like it happens every day.” He flicked his eyes down to my chest. “She wouldn’t understand.”
Gripping the sides of his T-shirt in my hands, I tugged him closer, hating how vulnerable he looked. “So, you’re happy lying to her?” I asked. “It’s no secret that we’ve all thought about it.”
“About what?” he asked.
I rolled my eyes at that question. “About sharing her. Me, you, Eric, and Lydia.” I tried to ignore the look of surprise that took over his face. “She’d be our girl. We’d be happy.”
He sighed and the way his face fell killed me. “I’d like to think that she would, but… I don’t know.” He stroked his fingers through the back of my hair. “Can we talk about this later? After she’s settled in?”
“Of course.” I leaned forward to give him a quick kiss, but as always, when my lips touched his, a quick kiss was never enough.
