THOMAS

She's something worth holding on to …

I waited impatiently for Kenley to get in touch, pacing in my living room. I had to stop before I walked grooves into my floor. I grabbed my phone, checking again for a message for her, frustrated when I still saw nothing.

What the hell is she waiting for?

Surely, they were finished talking by now. After another hour, I couldn't take it anymore. I brought up our chat on my phone and typed out a message.

Thomas: Hey, Kenley.

Kenley: Hey . I have to say, I'm surprised it took you so long to get in touch LOL.

Thomas: Haha, very funny. So? Did you talk to her? How did it go?

Kenley: Yes, I talked to her. She's asked that she be the one to talk to you, though, so you're going to have to wait on her.

Thomas: Ugh, wonderful. I can only imagine how much longer that is going to take. Can you at least tell me if it went well?

Kenley: Thomas, you have to wait on her. I can't tell you anything.

Thomas: Okay, I understand. It's going to drive me crazy waiting. Do you think she's going to wait a long time?

Kenley: I don't think so. Just try to be patient, okay? I'm just crawling into bed, so I'll talk to you tomorrow. Try not to go too crazy.

Thomas: Yeah, sure LOL. Night, Kenley.

Kenley: Night.

I set my phone down with a sigh. I understood Kenley respecting Shelby's wishes but waiting was getting to be so difficult. I meant what I had told her though. I would wait a lifetime for her to make up her mind, even if it meant being alone. I had put so much thought into it and realized, I was falling in love with them. I obviously couldn't tell them that until things were more established, but I knew it was true. I would do anything for them.

As it turned out, I didn't have to wait a long time after all. I was surprised when my doorbell rang. It was nearing midnight and I couldn't imagine who would be here at this time of night. It must be an emergency, whoever it was, so I rushed to answer. I flung open the door and my jaw dropped when I saw Shelby standing there, beautiful as ever.

"Hi, Thomas. I'm sorry to come so late but I really need to talk to you."

"Shelby, you could come any time of day and it would be okay. Come on in."

She moved past me and headed to the living room. I grabbed a couple of bottles of water and passed her one, chuckling as she downed half of it.

"So, I'm sure you know by now that I talked to Kenley."

"I do. She wouldn't tell me anything though. She just said you wanted to talk to me."

"I asked her to wait, yes. I didn't want to make you wait anymore though. I figured you were probably going a little mad by this point."

"You're right about that. I'm glad you're here, Shelby. I wasn't sure I'd ever see you at my house again. Have you made a decision?"

"I have. Thomas, when you bailed before, you hurt me deeply. I lost you and then I lost Kenley and it shattered me."

"I'm so sorry, I?—"

"Let me finish, please. You don't need to apologize again."

"Sorry."

"That's okay. Anyway, I didn't think I would ever trust you again, not even as a friend."

My heart sank and I was pretty sure I knew what was coming. I held my breath and waited for her to finish.

"Thomas, Kenley seems to think you're telling the truth with all that you've said. She's right, isn't she?"

"She is, Shelby. I've never been more serious about anything in my life as I am about this."

"I want to try again. I've missed you both and I want this."

"Wait, what? Say that again?"

"I want to try this again," she laughed. "I'm in."

I picked her up and spun her around, holding her tight. I managed only a few seconds before my mouth crashed against hers, kissing her passionately. I wanted her so badly but Kenley would have my balls if I didn't wait for her.

"I'm so glad you're back, sweetheart. Come for dinner tomorrow night. I'll ask Kenley over too."

"That sounds nice. I'm kind of exhausted now, though, so I'm going to head out. Don't break my heart, Thomas," she said quietly.

"I won't. Your heart is too special. I will protect it, always."

I leaned forward and dropped a kiss at the corner of her mouth. She walked to her car, got in, and drove away with a wave. These girls were worth everything to me. They were so worth holding onto and I planned to do just that. Everything would work out exactly as it was meant to.

The next day, I pulled out my crockpot and went to work chopping up veggies. I little while later I had a roast in with carrots, potatoes, and onions. I wasn't a fantastic cook but even I couldn't screw up a crockpot meal. The day dragged on as I waited for dinnertime to roll around. The doorbell finally rang around six and I opened the door to find them both at my door, smiles on their faces.

"Come on in, dinner is about ready," I said, kissing each of them as they came into the house.

"Are we late?" Kenley asked.

"Nope, your timing is perfect. Go ahead and sit at the table while I finish up.

"How are you, Thomas?" Shelby asked, sliding into a chair at the kitchen table.

"I'm good. Glad you're both here."

I sliced the roast, happy to find it tender and served that and the veggies up. I grabbed the dinner rolls from the oven, tipped them into a basket, and started taking things to the table. Kenley had sat across from Shelby, leaving the head of the table for me.

"Please, eat."

They each tucked into their plates and I chuckled when they moaned with the first mouthful of roast beef.

"Fuck, this is amazing," Shelby said, shovelling another mouthful in.

"I agree with her. You did a great job of this, Thomas. I had no idea you were such a great cook."

"Oh, I'm not. I actually suck at cooking. It's a wonder I haven't starved to death."

"Well, this is fantastic. Thanks so much for inviting Shelby and me over."

"I'm glad you're both here. It took us a long time but I feel like we're finally where we should be."

They both smiled at me in agreement and we finished up dinner, chatting throughout it. I cleared the table and then started toward the living room.

"Thomas," Shelby said seductively, "why don't you show us to your bedroom."

My breath caught in my throat and I looked to Kenley. She nodded and I took each of them and led them to my bedroom. I was half-hard by the time we got there, excited for what was to come. I gave each of them a swat on the ass, enjoying their little jumps.

"You two are wearing entirely too much clothing," I said, sitting on the edge of the bed and watching them.

They both grinned and grabbed the hem of their shirts, pulling them over their heads. I groaned when I saw their tits pushed up in lacy bras and adjusted myself in my pants. The skirts came off next, followed by the lacy thongs. I damn near came in my pants when they unhooked each other's bras and let them slip down their arms.

"Fuck me," I muttered as they palmed each other's tits, thumbs sliding across the nipples until they hardened into peaks.

Shelby trailed a hand down Kenley's torso until she reached her clit, flicking it gently. I sat, transfixed, as Kenley mimicked the action and they were moaning from the sensation.

"Come here," I growled, ordering the girls to me and grinning as they scrambled to get to me.

I put a hand on their waists and pulled them closer, sucking Shelby's nipple into my mouth as I rolled Kenley's between my fingers. I switched to circle Kenley's with my tongue and pinching Shelby's gently. Their nails bit into my shoulders as I showered their breasts with attention.

"Now who has too much clothing on?" Shelby asked, slowly unbuttoning my shirt.

They looked at me hungrily as I stood and unfastened my jeans, pushing them down my legs. My shaft was hard as steel and jutting out in front of me. I couldn't wait to be inside them. Kenley laid on her back, legs spread to show off her glistening pussy and Shelby laid down beside her, taking a nipple into her mouth. Happy that I didn't have to decide who to fuck first, I settled between Kenley's legs and entered her in one smooth thrust.

I pumped in and out of her as Shelby palmed one of her breasts and sucked and nibbled on the other. Kenley's hips bumped up against mine and she moaned as I quickened my pace. I was struggling to last but determined to fuck them both. Shelby reached between us to play with Kenley's clit and I groaned as her pussy tightened around me. I leaned forward to kiss her as I fucked her and she broke the kiss, gasping for air.

"I'm gonna come," she moaned, her release hitting her hard and fast.

I laid beside her and motioned Shelby to straddle me. I groaned as she sank onto my cock and I thrust in and out of her tight channel. Her hands settled on my chest as she rode me, my own release not too far away.

"Kenley, make her come."

She grinned as she circled Shelby's clit causing her to cry out. Her breathing quickened as we drove her toward her climax and she whimpered when Kenley pinched her clit hard between her fingers. She screamed my name as I thrust hard up into her and she shattered around me. I growled as I exploded inside her, coating her with my seed. She slumped against my chest as our breathing heaved. After a couple of minutes, she settled on the other side of me and I was laying with my girls in my arms.

"I'm so happy that you're both here with me," I said, turning to kiss each of them softly.

"I am too, Thomas," Shelby murmured.

"As am I."

"Did you ever think this would happen?" I asked.

"No, I didn't to be honest. Kenley?"

"Nope, I thought for sure that ship had sailed. I'm so glad it did though. Things have never felt so good."

I held them until soft snores filled the room and smiled. This is what life was about. I was never going to let them go.
