My phone buzzes with a text from Levi as my town car pulls away from the Alexander Mobile building.

Meeting with PI and my lawyer, will be a little late. See you around 8.

Clyde slows the car at the curb of my building, but before I step out, the partition slowly rolls down, and the friendly older man, who has been a trusted employee for years speaks.

“Everything okay Miss James?” He is concerned, concerned like a father should be. Something I have never experienced from anyone, not even my own father.

“Yeah, Clyde. Life is good.”

Until I self district, I should say. But, I don't.

When I walk into my penthouse, I see a small bag by the couch. Star's overnight bag is open and a couple pieces of clothing are pulled out. I hear water running in the distance, and hope she is using the guest bathroom because all I want to do right now is take a damn shower, throw on a baggy pair of sweatpants, and veg out until Levi comes in for the night. I feel like I have been hit by a Mack truck of work. The worst part of it all is that I still have more to do tomorrow.

I walk into my bedroom to see clothes on my floor, and I know she’s using my shower. It’s big enough for a small army, but with the events of the day, would it really be a good idea to go and jump in with her? Granted we have been showering together since we were like five years old, but after the fallout of the past day, I just don't know. Then my slut charged mind kicks in. Seven, go take your shower, in your fucking shower. She is lucky you are going to forgive her, for fuck’s sake!

I open my bathroom door, and the room is full of steam. The mirrors are all fogged up, and the glass doors of the shower stall are the same. I can hear her humming to herself, and I recognize that her mood has improved some since she left my office. I worry about her, and now her years of depression seem completely justified. I’d always thought the worst. Like someone had abused her as a child, because given the crowd our parents ran with, I’m downright surprised we hadn't been targets.

“Star?” I say, while I start to unbutton the blouse I wore for the day.

“Seven? You're home.” Was that a question?

“Yeah, I need to get in there. It has been quite the damn day.” I continue to undress, and wait to hear the water turn off and see her step out of my shower. But she doesn't. “Are you okay in there, Star?” She is unusually quiet, and I battle between opening the foggy glass doors, or just hightailing it to the other bathroom down the hall.

“I'm fine, Seven. Are you coming in or not?” Well, I guess that answers that question. I stand at the glass doors for a minute debating whether or not this is a good idea. I mean, of course, I think she is attractive, but I’m still kind of mad at her. At least I don't have a dick that would give my arousal away.

Against my better judgment, which is a pattern in my life, I open the door of the shower.

I stop in my tracks when I see her. Completely naked, white suds covering her body. One hand rests on one of her large breasts; the other falls somewhere between her legs. I don't know if I should turn and look the other way, or get out. I do neither.

I can feel moisture pooling between my legs, and I can tell you for fucking certain that it isn't from the showerhead I just turned on. Her gaze never leaves mine, and we stand and stare at each other for minutes.

“Like what you see, Seven?” she speaks and my knees could buckle. Like what I see? Fuck, yeah. When have I not liked that hot little body? I can't form words to answer her question, but I nod.

“It has been so long, Seven.” She moves a step toward me. Her words remind me of just how long it’s been since I’ve felt her body pressed against mine. Evan wouldn't share, and I hated him for that.

“It has,” I reply.

She takes another step toward me. My pierced nipples stand at attention, goosebumps spread across my skin, and my breathing slowly increases. “I've missed you, Seven.” Another step, and her breasts press against mine. She leans in, and I can feel her breath on my neck. “I want you.” Her words are clear as day; they send a shiver through my body. She knows I want her just as much as she wants me.

“Star,” I start in protest, Levi entering my mind, but before I can say anything else, her lips are on mine. She licks and sucks on my mouth, all while pressing her slick soapy body against mine. Our nipples graze each other’s and I feel my clit throbbing with need for relief.

Her lips pull away, and I have to get the words out. “Star, share. You have to share. I can't be yours.” But my declaration doesn't stop her. She continues her lips down my collarbone, heading right for my breasts. My hands run through her wet, silky hair as she takes one of my nipples in her mouth. Pleasure fills my body as she sucks on my tit, occasionally tugging on the barbell with her teeth. Her free hand snakes between my legs, inserting one finger at a time into my soaked cunt.

Her lips continue down my body, cherishing every inch with divine licks and kisses, only stopping when she comes to my glistening pussy. Wet and ready. My back is firmly pressed against the wall, as the warm water continues cascading around us. Her fingers part the lips, and her tongue licks and teases my tender clit. The minor contact sends my body into overdrive. My lips part and moan in appreciation. It feels so fucking good. Her mouth teases and nibbles on my bud, before her tongue slowly dips inside my center.

“Oh God! That feels so fucking good.” I can't help myself. Shit, I have missed her mouth on my cunt.

“What the fuck?” I hear a deep voice bellow from outside the glass doors, just as the door swings open. Levi stands there, clearly seeing red. Until his eyes land on Star.

I jump, and Star pulls away. We both stand there, looking at Levi, waiting to see what is going to happen next. “I told you, Star. You have to share.” I nod at Levi, who is standing there with his mouth hanging open.

“I'm sorry, Levi. But if you want to join us, you are welcome. We were kind of...” I pause for a second, thinking of the right way to describe what he just walked in on. “Making up.”

He starts pulling at his clothes, like he can’t get them off fast enough. “One rule.” I speak up, as my mind starts racing with what is about to happen. I’ve had threesomes in my time, but none with anyone that has meant an ounce of anything to me. “You must wear a condom if you fuck her. You can bareback me all you want. Her, no dice.”

He nods and continues to strip down. As his boxer-briefs fall to the floor, Star lets out a gasp. “I guess that is why you keep this one around,” she giggles and continues staring at his gorgeous cock. If she only knew it was so much more than his impressive dick. “Come here, Levi.” For the first time in my life, I feel something new. Jealousy. Possession. I don’t want to share him with Star, or anyone. What would have been a fun game to me before is quickly becoming something that just may send me into a rage.

I push the irrational feelings to the back of my mind, and claim what’s mine.

“Fuck me, now. Up against this wall. Hard and fast.”

His arms wrap around my waist, and I wrap my legs around him, pressing the heels of my feet into his ass. Star stands alongside us, watching, as her fingers roll over her clit and push inside her wet pussy.

In one hard thrust, Levi plows his dick completely inside of me. I feel him bottoming out but he doesn't slow down one bit. He follows instructions carefully, fucking me hard against the shower wall. His hand reaches between us, grazing his thumb over my swollen clit, and I can feel my release come crashing down around me.

“Fuck! Levi! So fucking good. Fuck my pussy good!”

He continues thrusting inside me, harder with each push. “Your pussy is fucking heaven,” he says, as I feel his dick find his release deep inside me. “Oh fuck,” he whispers against my neck, before his lips collide on mine. He feasts upon my mouth while his dick coats my pussy with his seed, cuing my second orgasm of the night. I pant into his mouth, trying to catch my own breath, completely forgetting about the audience next to us until Star starts moaning in her release. She watches us fuck, as she rides her own fingers, and I think I could die from how fucking hot it is.

He slowly pulls out of me. Without a second thought, I instruct Star, “Lick my cunt clean.”

Levi grunts, and his hand reaches down for his semi-erect cock and begins stroking as Star lowers to her knees in front of my soaked pussy. She wastes no time getting to work, licking and sucking on my used pussy, cleaning every ounce of Levi's come from me. My clit hums in appreciation, and my body is ready for another release.

With my cunt still in her mouth, Star speaks. “I want a ride on that.” She motions to Levi's dick, and I see red. What started as a fun idea with two people I care about is quickly becoming no fun for me at all.

“I’ve got a better idea.” Quick thinking on my part, but there is no way I am letting him fuck her, condom or no condom. He is mine, and mine only.

“This is what we are going to do when we get out of here. First, I am going to get my strap-on. Then I am going to fuck you, while Levi fucks me.”

Star nods in agreement.

* * *

The bed dips and Levi wraps me in his arms. He slowly showers kisses all over my body, cherishing every inch of my being. We lay tangled in each other’s embrace until Star returns from the spare bedroom, her bedroom, where she will be sleeping once this night is over. I’m still unsure why I agreed to this, because it’s still sitting wrong with me. Maybe I just wanted a little piece of Star before I set her free. It feels cruel and uncaring, but I am at a crossroads of my life I never thought I’d see. In the night silence I have had the smallest coming to Jesus meeting of my life.

The only bit of comfort I take away from any of it is the fact that Levi has shown no interest in Star. Only me. His silent support of my antics has completely mind-fucked me. Everything about my life in the past month has left me questioning everything I’ve ever wanted, or believed in. My path of life. My choices for life. Everything.

And now I lie here, between my naked best friend who has fucked me over more than I will ever know, and the naked man whom I would give up anything for. Ain't life fucking funny? It has a strange way of just creeping up on you and slapping you across the face.

“I can't do this.” I sit up in the bed between Star and Levi. They both stare at me. Levi is filled with compassion, and what looks like relief. Star, on the other hand, is hurt, as I knew she would be. Rejected again in life; it’s something I have felt on so many occasions. My heart breaks for her. “I'm sorry, Star. I love you, and I always will, but I just can't do this anymore. I never thought there would be a day when I just couldn't share anymore. But I’ve found it.”

“It's okay, Seven. You don't have to apologize for finally finding happiness in your life. I can tell by the way you look at him. He’s good for you.” She gets up and pulls a long white robe off the chair and slips into it. “You will always be my best friend, no matter what. We may not be little kids anymore, but you will always be my sister.” Her back turns, and out the door she goes. Her feet pad down the hallway until I hear the click of the door telling me she is in there.

“Are you okay, Seven?” Levi's voice reminds me that I’m not alone, even though my brain is in overdrive.

“I don't know,” I whisper, and his arms wrap around me again. His touch comforts me, and so do his words.

“I'm glad you stopped that. The only person I want is you. But I would do anything for you, Seven. Anything.”

I snuggle into the comfort of his arms, wondering what I have ever done in my life to deserve someone who is so good to me.

* * *

“Davis? This is Seven James.” I sit in my office the next morning on the phone with my private investigator. During the night, when Star couldn't sleep, she came to me. I slid out of bed and lent her a shoulder to cry on as she spilled the story.

“Seven, after that first time, when you caught us, he wouldn't stop. He continued to force me to sleep with him me for two years. I liked it at first, but he got violent; he treated me badly. Then I got pregnant, and he wouldn't come near me again.”

Her words hurt. My brother had raped her, over and over again. He’d broken her. He’d broken her spirit. He’d broken her soul. He had taken the light from her eyes. He’d taken her innocence.

“I want to find her. I want to find Willow.”

That was all she needed to say. I would stop at nothing to find the little girl she’s been forced to hand over.

“I have an extremely important missing person project. I need to find a child. Her birth date is December 25, 2002. Name on her birth certificate will be Willow James. But the name could have been changed. Birth mother is Star Bloom. Birth father is Blue James. Birthplace should be Woodstock, New York.” It was all the information I had; it was all the information Star had. When her little girl had been three days old, our parents together had taken her and adopted her out to another hippie couple in the small community we ran with over the years. I doubt there had been anything legal, much less a paper trail. But if there was something, Davis would find her. I would put Star in contact with him, and let her go.

Her plans included leaving on Friday to head upstate to the last place she remembered being with her daughter. It was something she needed to do to move on. Just like I had to let her go so I could move on with my life. It’s something we both should have done a long time ago, but neither of us had been ready. The things that change over time are always so confusing in life.

A quiet knock on the door catches my attention, and I quickly end the call with Davis. Looking up, I see Daniel standing in the doorway of my office with his typical smug grin on his face. Since there was nothing more HR could do, they invited him back into the office, effective today. Apparently his first priority is fucking with me. Game on, cowboy, because I am in a foul ass mood.

“Can I help you with something, Mr. Alexander?” Business. Keep it fucking business, I tell myself. But it is so fucking hard when I want to just punch him in the face.

“Nice to see you, too, Seven. How was your trip?” He plops his ass into the chair in front of me, kicking his ugly ass shoes up on my desk. Strike two.

“It was informative, for sure. Got a lot done. Thankfully, we won't lose millions over their shortcomings now.” I focus on business, although I’m sure he is trying to pull some kind of dirt out of me. I am sure Olivia couldn't keep her mouth shut after my mid-morning sexcapades yesterday. Especially when it looks like she is Daniel's newest target to stick his useless dick in.

“All business, no play makes for a boring life, Seven.” His smug grin annoys me, but I will never let him know.

I throw him my megawatt smile and fire back. “Oh, Daniel. My life has a lot of play in it. I just keep it out of the office.” Slam dunk. Well, it would be a slam dunk if it were actually true.

His feet drop to the floor, and he leans forward in the seat. “Not what I heard.”

I let out a laugh. A deep, booming, belly laugh. I can't stop. I am absolutely hysterical and he looks at me as if I have lost the last bit of my sanity. I probably have. “Oh, Daniel. What I do in my personal time is none of your business. I suggest you keep your assumptions to yourself, because you don't have much of a leg to stand on.” I love speaking cryptically. Never giving him too much information as to what I know, and what he thinks I know. It is all a game, and little does this bitch know, I am Milton fucking Bradley.

“I have nothing to hide, Seven. Which is why I still have my job here.” He laughs at me. Wrong fucking move.

I snap.

“Daniel, everyone knows you can't keep that useless fucking dick in your pants. I know you’re fucking my assistant. Everyone knows you cheat on your poor wife all the time. It’s not news. But what I don't get is what these women see in you? Is it the money? Because you, my friend, are the worst fuck I have ever had. Every night when you would go back to your dorm room, I would finger myself, because you never once pleasured me the way a real man should.”

Hey, I can't help that it’s the truth. His ego is hurt for sure, and it makes me want to jump up and down while laughing in his face. But I sit still, composed behind my desk with a smile on my face. “Let me make something very clear, Daniel. Your time at Alexander Mobile is almost up. When the truth starts to leak out, you will be history. I suggest you step down before you cause your dear old daddy any embarrassment. Because that is all you are, a fucking embarrassment.”

He is pissed. Like really fucking pissed off. If it were possible, steam would be spilling out of his ears. His face reddens, and his lips press together. He’s searching for something witty to say, but nothing comes to him. I want to laugh at him some more, but I do us both a favor. “Enjoy your short time back at Alexander Mobile. Soon you will be gone. Now you can get out of my fucking office.” I shoo him away with my hand.

“If you think it is going to be that easy to get rid of me, you are wrong, Seven.” He stands in my doorway, trying to get the last word.

I shake my head and laugh at him. “Daniel, I don't think. I know.”
