Chapter 5

Bella looked worried as he left.

“Don’t worry,” I pulled her onto my lap. “He was only messing.”

I can’t help but stare into her eyes which unlike my pale ice blue, hers are a bright azure blue.

“You know, you really are perfect.” I tell her honestly while stroking her cheek.

“It is no surprise Micheal and every other man in the building can’t help but stare at you.”

She seemed surprised. “You’re surprised by that?” She nods her head. “Couldn’t you tell by the way he hugged you earlier as if not wanting to let you go or the way he kissed you?” I ask.

She seems upset. “What’s wrong, Bella?” I asked worried this time.

“Are you mad at me or going to leave me because he likes me?” Her voice breaks. “I like him a lot too but I love you,” She confesses. I wasn’t surprised at all. I had a feeling she liked him too, after all he did look a lot like me. Plus he has always treated Bella – or Arrie as he calls her – as a princess.

“Of course not, angel. I love you and I am going to marry you and I meant that.” I place a kiss the right corner of her mouth. “Only you.” I kiss the left corner. “Forever and always.” I passionately kiss her lips.

I hold the back of her head with my hand and pull her hair lightly, enough to shock but not to hurt.

She opens her mouth in surprise and I take that opportunity to invade her mouth with my tongue.

“Mmm,” I moan, she tasted so good. With my free hand I gently kneed her ass between my fingers through her skirt.

“And you know another thing?” I say pulling away for breath.

She breaths heavy with her mouth slightly ajar shakes her head.

“I think…” I pause and correct myself, “I am certain, even though he has never admitted it to me, I am sure he has like liked you for a long time.”

“Really? How do you know?” Her voice still breathless from the kiss.

“Well, my sexy little sister, soon to be wifey,” I grin. “He asks about you almost everyday without fail, I always catch him looking at the photo of you which he has on his desk. I have the same copy on mine and on more than a few times either if I catch him asleep or he passes out from too much beer, I often hear him telling someone who he calls Arrie, how much he loves her.” She is shocked to silence.

As soon as I tell her I realize how hurt he will be.

“He’ll hate us…” She sounded as if she was going to cry.

I pull her closer and let her head lay on my chest while I think of what to do.

“I know… But I can’t lose you… Either of you. I love you so much and he has been a brother and a best friend to me over these years.” I pause. “How did it feel when he kissed you earlier?” I ask genuinely wanting to know the answer.

“What do you mean?” She looked nervous for some reason.

“Did you feel anything? Or was it like kissing mum or dad?” I look at her. “I want to know truth. Nothing will change either way. I will still want to be with you.”

She gulped. “It wasn’t like when I kissed our parents, it was more like when I kiss you,” She said with tears in her eyes.

I begin to kiss her again as I did before, “Don’t cry, angel,” I say between kisses. “We’ll speak to him later,” I kiss her once more.

“Now… How about I teach my future wife how to help me run our business?” I can’t help but smile at her reaction.

“Yes, please,” She jumps off my knee excited and runs over to my desk.

“Good to see you like to learn,” I laugh and walk up beside her. “Because I will be teaching you a lot of new things,” I say suggestively.

I spent the next couple of hours teaching her what kind of stuff our office deals with and how to help me out with some paperwork.

While I read through the notes from meetings what I have missed and signed papers Bella was laid on the floor on her stomach with her legs swinging in the air and reading through some paperwork I gave her.

Her skirt was hitched up to just below her panties – because it was too tight to get on the ground, she told me – and the top button of her blouse had come undone. Both enough to make any man insanely horny but not enough to see anything.

She was happily oblivious to what she was doing, too involved with her job at hand.

Bella really had no idea how sexy or beautiful she is.

Too her, she was plain and that was one of main reasons why men lusted after her. But I loved her for more than that. She is the sweetest, most kindest person you would ever meet and she just has all the best personality.

I had been watching her happily swing her legs, lick her lips and lots of little things she did for the last ten minutes when my office door opened.

I was about to shout at the person not for knocking, not wanting anyone to see Bella like this. She probably wouldn’t mind but that is again because she is innocent.

But thankfully, Micheal walked in closing the door behind himself.

Looking at me he smiled before looking around the room as if for something or someone…

I know exactly what he is looking for and if he isn’t careful he will end up stepping on her.

Thankful, I didn’t have to worry, because he spotted her after a couple of seconds.

Bella was still in her own world and didn’t seem to notice him enter.

“Don’t blame me, I offered to get her a chair or she could sit on the couch, but she insisted on the floor,” I tell him interrupting his lustful glazing.

He looks up at me cheeks tinted pink looking kind of embarrassed.

“Oh. Hiya Mikey. I didn’t even hear you come in,” She said getting his attention again.

Micheal watched her every move as she pushed herself onto all fours – revealing more of her ample ass – and then the rest of the way up.

He went to sit down on the couch to hide his growing bulge but Bella stopped him.

Hugging him, there was no way she could have missed his hardness but hid her reaction.

“I like being here. I wish I could have moved here before…” She sighed.

Micheal looked confused and looked at me. I mouthed to him, ‘I’ll explain later.’ And he nodded.

I stood up and walked over.

Micheal kissed the top of her head and she pulled away with a shy smile.

“Bella, will you do something for me?” I ask wanted a moment alone with Micheal.

She turns to me and nods her head eagerly making me laugh.

I pick up a stack of papers. “Go to Julia and ask her to make a copy of these. But tell her I told you to shadow her whilst she does it so you know what to do in the future if need be,” I explain.

She seemed only too pleased to help out and quickly took the papers from my arms and went to leave but I stopped her this time.

“First things first.” I pulled her skirt down, straightened out her clothes and buttoned her blouse again.

“Perfect,” I peck her lips. “Now, you are safe to leave.” She blushes and thanks me before leaving.

“Did you really need her to do that?” Micheal asks now sitting on the couch. “I mean, after all she probably won’t need to know it anyway.”

I nod my head slowly and sit beside him. “Yes. But I needed the papers copying and I wanted her out of the office for a few minutes so I can speak to you and I don’t trust the men around here if she was out there by herself. But I know she is safe with Julia by her side,” I explain.

“Good idea. I don’t know what I would do I saw anyone coming on to her…” He had a faraway look in his eyes.

He shook the thought from his head and turned to face me. “What did you want to talk about?”

“I want to know how you feel about Bella?” I ask him.

“I love her and you. You know that,” He answers with a straight face.

“But you love her differently, right? Not like a relative should. Like a lover does?” I try to get a straight answer.

He gulped but didn’t say anything.

“It’s alright. I just want the truth.”

He nods, “I do. I know it’s wrong but I do,” He sounded distressed.

“How long?”

“I don’t know really. One day I was I like ‘I love her, I wish she was my sister’ and the next ‘Oh God, I love her. I just want to spend the rest of my days making her happy.’ I think it’s been since I was about twenty,” He looked at me worried. “Do you hate me?”

I shake my head, “Never.” I pause and look down, “But you will hate me…”

He frowns, “Why do you think that?” His voice concerned.

“Please before you say anything let me tell you everything and explain.” He nodded and I continued.

“I was planning on telling you tonight, but then I got talking to Bella and she said a few things and I thought it would be better to speak about things sooner rather than later.” He looked like he wanted to ask something and I could guess.

“I’ll tell you what Bella said later. Before that there is a few things you need to know.” I took a few deep breathes to ready myself. “I love Bella… And not like a brother should. It’s like you say, we were always close and I always loved her but somehow between the last time I saw her and that time I went to get her from the hospital, I fell in love with her.” Micheal looked slightly surprised but said nothing, thankfully.

“Over the week we spent together nothing happened. I just held her in my arms as she cried and I was there for her. But somehow I found myself falling deeper for her. I am not denying the fact that on several occasions she made me hard without realising, but she never found out… ” I pause and look at his face. His expression was blank, yet I could still see the gloss of his sad eyes.

“I was awoken when she came into my room last night. She told me she had a nightmare, she was scared Wesley was coming to get her and take her away.” Micheal tensed.

“I told her, I would never let that happen and I let her sleep in my bed as I did in hers the week of the funeral. This time was different.” I explained my habit of sleeping naked when I was alone and how when she came in distressed I totally forgot until the morning. I told him about my dream and then waking up and coming on her panties.

I told him everything she said and how she threw her pants at me.

“One minute we were play fighting over her panties, the next she was blowing me… We had sex.” His eyes widen. “I’m sorry. I really am. I don’t want to hurt you, but it was unbelievable. It was like nothing I have ever felt before. She is my soul mate and I don’t ever want anyone other than her. I don’t care if I sound like a girl, it’s true. I want to be with her forever… ” I paused again and sighed. “But that is where things get more complicated. I told her I want to marry her and she said she did too. But the thing is she loves me but she loves you too.”

“Did she tell you that?” He sounded hopeful, but I could still see the sad shimmer of unshed tears in his eyes.

“Not in them words, but yes, she did. I love you both too and I don’t want either of you hurting, but I won’t give her up either.”

“Then what?” He asked now completely confused.

“I want to speak to her about it, but I think maybe she can both of our wives,” I tell him. I was a little shocked at myself for suggesting such a thing. But I had thought it over hard and it felt right.

“You would do that?” He asked in a low shocked voice.

I put my arm around his shoulder, “Of course. You are like my brother and I would do anything for you both. Except give her up. I love her and she will be my wife. You can be a part of it, but only if you agree never to hurt her, to be monogamous and you never have sex or cheat on her in anyway,” I explain.

He stayed quiet for a couple of minutes as if thinking. It least he hasn’t hit me like I thought he would.

‘Maybe I spoke too soon,’ I thought as he turned around with a grin.

“You really mean everything?” I nodded my head. “If she will give us both a chance… The three of us, then I will not deny it would be a dream come true…” He spoke as if in a dream, making me chuckle.

“We will act normal the rest of the day and I’ll ask her before dinner tonight and have your answer. Is that alright with you?”

“Yes, that’s great.” He patted his knee like an excited child. “When she comes back, let’s go out and get some lunch. I’m starving.” I nod and we continue talk waiting for her return.

He asked me to tell him everything about our first time together. Which I did happily, after all I am certain the three of us we be a couple soon so why not share the details of her losing her virginity.

He enjoyed story very much and disappeared for a few minutes to my ensuite toilet to ‘take care of a problem.’
