Chapter 5
For the next few weeks, Sophia was sucked into a whirlwind between the Franklin brothers. One night she saw Adam. The next she saw Blake. The choice was only becoming more difficult rather than easier, as her attraction to both men grew by the day. Where did she think she was, on the Bachelorette?
The problem was that both men encompassed what she really wanted. They both lavished her with attention and strove to please her. They both cared about her and were extremely flattering to her. They each were dashingly handsome, had ambition, success, and prestige. Moreover, both men were wealthy! What more could a woman want?
Of course, there were differences between them. Blake was more reserved and more eager to please. Adam was more dominant, but also more traditional with his dates. While they both liked to have fun, they did it in different ways. These differences still did not make her decision between them any easier because she still liked them both. A lot. And while there were differences, mostly they were the same. Gentlemen. Figuring out which one she liked most was proving to be a nearly impossible task.
Basically, neither was anything like Tony, which was exactly what Sophia needed.
It was Sunday, and Adam’s turn for Sophia’s next date. They decided to go to Ellis Island, which surprisingly, neither had ever visited before. As they finished their iconic tour, she gazed at him as the sun reflected in his blond hair, bringing out the red like fire. The stubble forming on his jawline was also red as fire. She reached out without thinking about it and touched his face, feeling his stubbles under her fingertips. “You are so handsome,” she laughed when Adam glanced at her, surprised by her touch.
While Sophia had made out a bit with each of the brothers, she was doing her best at holding back, unwilling to sleep with either of them until she figured out what she wanted. The choice was still not at all clear.
“Let’s say we take this back to my place?”
“How about mine,” Sophia said. Desire was getting the better of her, and she just couldn’t wait any longer. It was time. She wanted him.
They held hands all the way back. When they got off the ferry, they hurried back to his car, where his driver waiting. They kissed passionately, the entire trip home.
Arriving at their building, their making out continued into the elevator. They were so engrossed, they didn’t realize that Blake was standing in the lobby.
By the time they stumbled into her penthouse, Adam had Sophia could wait no longer. He quickly unbuttoned Sophia’s blouse, as she tugged on his belt. After fantasizing about it for weeks, she wanted to finally see his manhood. But Adam had other plans. With the utmost deftness, he steered her towards the couch and gently bent her over its arm, while at the same time unzipping and pulling down her skirt. Adam surveyed her beautiful and tight ass and noted how sexy it looked in the lacy black thong she was wearing. He fell to his knees, and grabbing her cheeks, kissed each one. Sophia let out a loud moan of desire. Adam pulled on her thong and Sophia spread her legs allowing the thong to be pulled down, revealing her pink sex, waxed free of hair and shiny with hot, slick wetness. Her pussy glistened with a sheen of wetness as he eagerly licked them. After a few minutes licking her from behind and probing with his tongue, Adam took her lips into his mouth, sucking just slightly. Then his slid his tongue into her pussy and she cried out from the sudden release of having Adam inside her rather than fantasizing about it from the privacy of her bed. She turned over and laid down on the couch. Adam’s face returned to its home. She wrapped her toned legs around his head to push his tongue deeper into her and she arched her back as he chowed down. She could tell that he was savoring her. She was thrilled by the faint prickle of his beard against her tender flesh. As he worked his tongue deeper and deeper into her, she wanted him more and more.
Without hesitation, he stood up, pulled down his briefs, and directed his manhood towards her waiting wetness. She was ready and willing when he thrust into her. She gasped with surprise at the sudden feeling of his entry. It had been a long time since she had a man inside of her, and he really was as big as she had imagined - much larger than Tony! The feeling filled her with a sort of crazy urgency and she bucked her hips, and grabbing his hips, pulled him down deeper into her waiting quim. They fucked for a while enjoying the intense pleasure, and somehow ended up on the edge of the couch with their heads on the sofa. As he continued to thrust into her, Sophia grabbed his hips and squeezed so hard that her nails dug into his skin as she forced him into her harder.
She had never been so excited, or so wet. Heat began to rise in her groin, then down her legs, then throughout her body. She could feel it coming. “Keep going,” Sophia implored as she clawed at his back. Adam continued thrusting hard and deep. Then she came hard, as an intense orgasm rocked her from head to toe. Her entire body was pulsing in extreme pleasure. She was out of control. A loud scream of pleasure escaped her mouth and filled the whole penthouse and probably the neighbor’s too. “Fuck me! Oh, yes, fuck me!” she screamed, as her orgasm intensified. Almost in unison Adam howled in pleasure as his jism exploded out of him, filling her waiting womanhood. Sophia’s pussy contracted in its orgasm around his pulsing cock as they came together. After a few moments, they both collapsed, exhausted and totally satisfied.
With a gratified look on his face, Adam whispered, “I just came”.
“I know. I did too!” Sophia said. She tried to get up, but the pleasure left her flushed and weak at the knees. She felt dizzy.
“You shouldn’t have cum inside me. But it’s almost that time of the month, so I think we’re safe.” Adam was obviously relieved.
“Tony and I tried for almost our whole marriage to have kids, and nothing. So, I’m not even sure I can have kids.”
“Are you sure that is was you and not Tony with the problem?” Adam suggested.
Sophia had considered that in the past, after a doctor told her that forty percent of fertility issues lay in the man and not the woman and there appeared to be nothing wrong with her reproductive system. But Tony had been too proud to ever go get tested. He insisted that men in his family were extremely virile. The one time she requested that he get a sperm test, he had exploded at her and then taken off to the city, and didn’t speak to her for three days. She never brought it up again. Her fertility tests came back positive, but the doctor suggested that perhaps she had scar tissue or some other issue that was preventing her from getting pregnant. She had accepted that as the truth and assumed it was her fault since there was no talking about it with Tony.
“I am sure the problem was all me,” she told Adam. “Tony came from a very…virile family.”
Adam smiled and took her hand. “That’s OK. Life without kids is still fulfilling. Let’s go to bed and lie down.” She led him to her bedroom, where they made love three more times that night before falling asleep tangled up in each other’s arms.
****
The two slept soundly. By the time Sophia finally awoke at about 11:00 a.m., Adam had already left, so she made herself brunch and spent the day lazing about the condo. That evening, a knock on the door interrupted Sophia’s solitude. Through the peephole, she saw that it was Blake knocking. Her heart hammering, Sophia answered, hoping that he didn’t know about her night with Adam. The thought of breaking the news that she had chosen Adam made her feel sick. She really didn’t want to tell him that. Then she paused to reflect. Had she really chosen Adam? Last night just…happened. But it didn’t necessarily mean that Blake was out of the running, did it?
“Hi,” she said softly when she opened the door.
He managed a wan smile. “Hi.” Somehow, she could tell that he knew.
“Um, do you want to come in?” She stepped back and Blake entered the penthouse.
“So, you and Adam.” He crossed his arms over his chest but didn’t seem angry. “I saw you two in the lobby, all over each other.”
Sophia was crestfallen. “I’m sorry?”
“After salsa dancing, I could feel the heat between us. I thought I might have a chance. But I just want to let you know that I’m not mad at you.”
She nodded. This whole thing just hurt. It felt like breaking up, even though they had not been together. “I’m sorry,” she repeated.
“Don’t be sorry. He’s my brother. I really want him to be happy.” He paused, as he looked her up and down. “Damn, you look amazing today. You are just so beautiful.”
She managed a fake smile. “Thanks. You are so handsome yourself. And I want you to know that I really like you. This choice…wasn’t easy. I don’t want to give you up, honestly. But I understand that I have to.”
He shrugged. “It is OK. I was hoping you would choose me. Anyway, I just want you to know that I’d like to still go out, that is if you want to..”
She sighed. “I didn’t really choose Adam. Things just…happened. We were at Ellis Island and….”
“No need to explain.” He held up his hand to stop her. “
“I think we can still date,” she said. Blake stepped through the doorway towards her and gave her a hug. Sophia allowed the embrace and smiled. It felt wrong, but also right. Blake moved to kiss her, and Sophia didn’t object.
“If you aren’t busy tonight, do you want to watch a movie later,” Blake asked. “Adam will be out and won’t be back till Tuesday!” he said with a smile. Sophia knew that if she wanted to keep seeing Blake she would have to keep their relationship on pace with that she set with Adam. And she didn’t want to lose Blake, or break his heart.
“OK. I’ll see you around 8.”
Sophia showered and made herself up. Then she selected put on a sexy bra and panties set, with comfortable sweats on top. She rang his doorbell at around 8:30 and when he opened the door, walked in planting a quick kiss on his lips. Blake was relieved that Sophia was handling the situation so well. He also noted that she tasted good, like strawberries. They made it to the couch where Blake had two glasses of red wine and a big bowl of popcorn waiting.
They selected the movie and started watching, but as these things go, neither of them was interested in the show. Blake moved closer on the couch, put down his glass of wine and then took Sophia’s glass and put that down as well. Taking Sophia by the shoulder, he reached in and kissed her. She moved closer too and kissed him back. Sophia couldn’t resist. She fell into his arms, pressing her chest against his as they kissed.
Then Blake began to kiss down her neck, applying just enough pressure. She moaned and pulled his head closer, making him kiss her harder. She knew what was coming and longed to feel him inside of her. She wondered how he would compare to Adam.
The heat between Sophia and Blake was undeniable, and she could feel that she was getting extremely wet. Soon he was on top of her, dry humping. She felt his hardening bulge against her mound. Sophia couldn’t resist reaching into the warmth of his pants and wrapping her hands around the girth of him. She needed to know how he compared to Adam. Contrary to what she imagined and fantasized about, it turns out they were about the same length and girth. Still, she wanted to compare and was enticed by the desire to feel him inside of her, filling her up. Knowing how amazing Adam was, she could not wait to make love to Blake as well.
Blake moaned deep in his throat. “That feels so good,” he murmured as she stroked the soft skin of his shaft. As she worked her way down to his balls, he moaned even more deeply and arched his head back, exposing his throat. Sophia kissed him down his neck as she massaged his testicles and she felt him grow taut with desire.
“Let’s go …” he murmured urgently.
“To the bedroom?” she asked. It surprised her that he was a little more traditional than Adam, who had just thrown her over the couch.
He nodded. He was no longer able to speak. Without waiting another moment, they dashed to the bedroom, where they began to rip off one another’s clothes. Sophia gasped and ran her fingers down his ripped chest and stomach, loving how tight and toned his body was. He was no more handsome or fit than Adam; both brothers had heavenly bodies, perfect pictures of masculine virility and fitness.
She pushed him down on the bed and pulled off her top. Blake sighed with happiness when he saw that her ample breasts were being held back by only the skimpiest of bras. He caressed her full, round breasts, taking one and then the other into his mouth. He pushed her skirt up around her hips. Sophia removed her bra and panties. Without further foreplay or warning, she straddled him, sliding down onto his hard member and groaning with disbelief at how good it felt.
She began to rock up and down, enjoying the feeling of his cock deep inside of her. She could feel it swelling within her, filling her completely. He grabbed her butt, pushing and pulling her, using momentum to increase their strokes. They began to moan together as the delightful friction between them mounted.
It only took a couple of minutes. “I’m coming,” she gasped suddenly, as the hairs along her neck stood up. Her orgasm took her by surprise, rocking through and electrifying her body. She pulsed and gushed around him as he continued to thrust up into her. Her eyes rolled back in ecstasy. Blake smiled broadly, pleased to have pleasured her.
After a few moments rest, he pushed her off of him and down onto the bed, and took over. Now he was on top - the dominant one. He guided his huge cock into her, and began to thrust into her with the fury of a storm. His thrusts kept getting faster and deeper until he could hold out no longer. Crying out, he filled her with his seed and then laid down on top of her, supported on his elbows, panting.
“That was amazing,” he finally managed to say.
“Yes,” she replied, also barely able to speak. Her entire body was still buzzing.
As he rolled off of her, she felt the warm flow of their sex dribble out. She rolled over into his arms and they lay there, enjoying the comfort of being together, totally spent. Neither mentioned what they each were thinking: How could this have happened after her night with Adam?
****
Unable to deal with her emotions, as Blake left her place Sophia called up her friend from NYU, Marcy. They agreed to meet her at the Central Park Starbucks on Broadway next to the Empire Hotel. The front windows reminded her of the quaint coffee shop where she and Blake had had their first little date, and that made her smile. She sipped on her almond milk latte as she waited for Marcy to show up.
Marcy finally bustled in, late as usual. She was pink-faced and out of breath from running through the cold from the subway. “Sorry I’m late!” she sang as she unwrapped her huge pink scarf. “So! You said you had some big news.”
“Aren’t you going to order something first?” Sophia asked.
“No, no, I have to hear the news first. You know how I am.” She perched at the edge of her seat, clearly thrumming with anticipation. “So who is he?”
Sophia gave a secretive smile. “Marcy, you know that I am a good Catholic girl, right?”
Marcy smirked. “Yeah, right.” Then she sobered up and nodded. “You actually are.”
“Yeah, I always have been. So, you can’t judge me for this, please.”
“Of course not. This is a judgement-free zone. Everything stays between you and me.”
“OK.” Sophia took a deep breath. “Because I’m actually going to sound like a total slut.”
“Oh, just tell me.”
Sophia laughed nervously. Her hands were shaking. This was a secret and she felt weird even telling Marcy, her closest friend. “So it’s two men in my life. And they’re brothers.”
Marcy shrieked, turning heads throughout the Starbucks. “What! No! Sophia, you dirty little skank!”
Sophia laughed but motioned for Marcy to lower her voice. “We don’t need all of Starbucks knowing about this!”
“Sorry.” Marcy couldn’t compose herself, though. She was actually openly jealous of Sophia. “I have always fantasized about something like that!”
“Really?” Sophia was taken aback. She had thought she was the only one with such a dirty mind.
“Oh, yeah. I think it’s so hot. Have you, well, had a threesome?” Marcy lowered her voice to an obvious whisper.
Sophia cringed. The word “threesome” was not one she threw around often. “Well, no.”
“Do these guys even know about each other?”
“That’s the weird thing. They do, and they’re competing for me.”
“And they know about each other? Wow!” Marcy slapped the table, unable to contain herself any longer. “That’s amazing! You would think one or the other would back off.”
“Honestly, I thought so too. But I slept with Adam last night and then Blake today. I’m still sore, honestly. I haven’t had so much sex in my life! And I can’t believe that they would both be willing to sleep with me.”
Marcy grinned.
Sophia paused. “But here’s the other thing. Do you know who these brothers are?”
“Who?” Marcy leaned forward, her eyes wide and hungry for details.
“Adam and Blake Franklin.”
“What!” Marcy turned heads again as she slapped the table. “As in, the billionaire Franklins?”
“Yup. Turns out they live in my building.”
“Girl.” Marcy shook her head back and forth, her mouth hanging open. “This is like a plot from some filthy depraved romance novel. It’s not real life.”
“I know.” Sophia started to giggle as she thought about the irony of her fate. Catholic school girl, now divorced, working at the Times, and sleeping with the Franklin brothers. She had certainly never foreseen anything remotely like this when she had imagined her future as a teenage girl, praying on her knees and trying hard not to daydream during the long sermons at school.
“I mean, what? You have two billionaires living beside you, and you are sleeping with both of them. What is that, Sophia? What the fuck are you doing?”
“I honestly have no idea.”
“So now you have to choose a brother, huh? Tough choice. They’re both handsome.”
“Handsome as hell.”
“And they’re both filthy rich.”
“Yep. But it’s not even that. They are actually nice guys. Both of them. And perfect gentlemen.”
Marcy pursed her lips. “Tony was a gentleman, too.”
Just like that, Sophia felt her high come crashing down. “True. And they seem to like models too.” She thought back on her conversation with Adam, where he revealed his dislike for models. Was he lying to her? Men sure were good liars. “I don’t know.”
“It doesn’t mean you can’t have something with either of them. But you just have to be careful. I would hate to see you hurt again. It would hurt me, too. I hated seeing you when you found out about Tony’s thing.”
Sophia nodded. She looked down as she stirred the dregs of her latte, which was now mostly deflated foam. “I don’t know.”
“So how are you going to go about picking?”
“I was kind of hoping you would help me with that.”
Marcy laughed with a snort. “I wish I could. But I wouldn’t be able to choose either. Just have fun with both of them, I guess? Unless one of them gave you an ultimatum?”
“No, not at all. They haven’t even really brought it up. But now that I’ve been with both of them….”
“I guess it’s time to choose, huh?” Marcy sighed and stared out into the gray sky lingering over the park. “If only you could have both. That would be the life.”
