After returning home from Paris and Italy, it was back to daily life at Uncle Artie and Belle's mansion.
A more wholesome moment from the trip had been my reconciliation with Eva. On a call there, we had cathartically cleared the air on previous misunderstandings, which had reset our relationship to one as friends—a status I very much relished having in my life.
In my room, Eva was on my bed lying on her stomach, forearms propping her up. "Hey guess what, so I finally saw The Matrix!"
"Wow, took you long enough." I playfully needled her.
"I prefer a nice rom com I'll have you know!"
"The Matrix is a classic though. Everyone's seen it. If you haven't by now, it's like you've been living in that simulation in the movie."
"Well now I've seen it, so count me awoken!" Eva cutely stuck her tongue out at me. "My dad's got the collector's edition box set. My mom and I were watching it with him last night."
"How is Ned doing, by the way?"
"Well, I can tell you my dad's happy that you and I are hanging out again. He's always asking me about you."
"Yeah? Ned doesn't hate me?"
"You mean because you ditched me, and basically him, after our Enzo concert date?"
"Jeez Eva. Not one to mince words," I said, curling up in shame.
"Lighten up, Ken, we can laugh about it now." She smiled. "And no, my dad doesn't want to rip your guts out. He's a weird one. And I feel like he's been acting like it extra today."
"Why's that?"
"I dunno, maybe it's all in my head... But I've noticed he's been oddly giddy this week."
"Hmm, it's close to the first of the month," I said.
"What's that supposed to mean? My dad gets excited to pay the bills?"
I chuckled. "Yeah, who knows, maybe he gets joy out of it. Knowing that he's providing for his family."
"Right, I'm sure he gushes at the cost of my studio sessions." She rolled her eyes.
"Nothing wrong with a father investing in his daughter's musical talent."
"Bleh, whatever, it's cheaper than four years at a private college. You won't believe how much Nina's tuition costs. Not to mention her room and board."
"Well, it seems Nina's at least getting her
money's worth
with her dorm room." I slyly slid in the suggestive comment, hoping it'd unlock a particularly sexual topic.
Luckily, Eva read my mind. "Ken... Should we talk about what we had discussed, when you were in Italy? About Nina and Colin... and me."
"Sure," I said, hiding my eagerness. "How'd that go?"
Eva simply nodded her head, confirming that she did, in fact, have a threesome with her best friend and my cousin.
I let out a nervous chuckle. "Did you, uh, enjoy it?"
Eva nodded her head again, a little grin blossoming on her face. "Okay for me to share details?" she asked delicately.
I nodded my head, adjusting my sitting position to anticipate my crotch's reaction.
Eva sat up now on my bed, adorably looking shy. "Um... It was pretty hot. I've never really had someone that...
big
. Sorry if it's weird hearing that. About your cousin."
"I can compartmentalize."
In truth, I was adjusting on the fly. But I knew I wasn't mad or jealous, perhaps because I had known about their threesome in advance. One thing was for sure though, I was definitely getting turned on.
"Ken, it feels kinda weird trying to explain it. Do you, like, have any questions?"
"Sure. How'd it all start?"
Eva took a big breath. "He and Nina, they started by making out in front of me. Then eventually, she took my hand and brought me in. There was a lot of petting, touching. And from there, it kinda just naturally evolved. He had sex with Nina first, while I watched. Then when it was my turn, he changed condoms and—"
"That's smart," I blurted out, immediately realizing how stupid I sounded saying it.
Eva giggled. "And yeah, we started slow. But once we got into it, Colin was hitting spots in me that I didn't know could be hit. I loved the feeling, purely as a physical sensation," she said, cautiously hedging, probably for my benefit.
She continued, "We went at it for a while. Nina really wanted me to make him finish, so she pulled down my bra to let him play with
them
. It finally put him over. He pulled out and slipped off the rubber, then Nina took him into her mouth, where he eventually, you know... And yeah... It was all such an 'in-the-moment' type of experience. I actually got a little hot right now, just retelling it. Can I get some water or something?"
"Wow..." It was all I could say.
"Too much info? You don't hate me or anything, right?" Eva's bashfulness was endearing.
"Nope, not at all." If I was being objective, then I was happy for Eva that she'd gotten to experience that. My cock was also pleased, though I kept that part to myself. "Do you think you'll do it again with Colin?" I asked.
"That's up to Nina. I think she's addicted to your cousin, in more ways than one. If you ask me, she's falling for him pretty hard. And I'll be transparent, I'm on best friend duty right now. She wants me to find out from you if you think Colin's really into her."
"Hmm, I can't say. But I'm gonna get lunch with him tomorrow. Maybe I can find out and report back. Wanna hang out after?"
"Would love to, but I'm booked tomorrow. Have to babysit Ox and Sherrie's kids. But day after, I'm free."
"Sounds like a plan." I then stood up. "Be right back, I'll grab you that bottle of water."
I made my way down the stairs toward the kitchen, reflecting on Eva's admission.
She actually had a threesome with your cousin, dude! Fucking wild!
As I neared the base of the staircase, I could overhear chatter coming from the living room.
"You can bring whomever you like. Frankly, I think you'd be the belle of the ball. Excuse the corny dad pun."
"Count me in! Hand me your phone, I'll give you my email."
I peeked an eye around the corner, seeing Belle in her yellow gym wear, presumably typing her email address into a phone that she then handed to... Ned? Wait, what was Eva's dad doing here so early?
"Fantastic. Just sent it to you," Ned said, before sliding his phone into his pocket. He then scooted away from Belle, a seat cushion's worth of space toward the other end of the couch. I saw Belle check her own device, looking perfectly calm and normal.
I immediately texted Eva, telling her that her dad was already here. She swiftly made her way down the stairs, arriving at my side. She gave me a confused look, then went ahead and guided us into the living room, making our presence known.
"Dad?" Eva said. "I thought you were picking me up later."
Ned stood up and walked toward his daughter, a distinct limp in his left leg. "Sorry sweetie, but plans changed. Had to come earlier. Your mother and I are celebrating tonight instead of Friday. We were able to get a last-minute dinner reservation at a nice restaurant."
"Why didn't you text me you were coming?" she asked.
"Phone died, sorry."
"So how long have you been here then?"
"What's with the interrogation?" He heartily laughed. "Let's just say I've been here long enough to make me question what my 20-year-old daughter was doing upstairs with a boy. Oh hey Ken, nice to see you again." Ned smiled at me, a light tone to his ribbing.
"Oh my god, Dad, stop! Ken and I are just friends!" Eva looked beyond embarrassed.
I stepped forward to politely shake his hand. "Hi Ned, good to see you again." I tried to smoothly swerve the conversation elsewhere. "So what are you celebrating tonight?"
"Two decades of marriage. Just seemed like yesterday my wife and I were changing this one's diapers." He side-hugged Eva.
Belle stood up. "Well Ned, it was lovely meeting you. I might have to pick your brain sometime on marriage tips for the long haul."
"Anytime," he said, friendly as can be. "Alright Eva, let's go, kiddo. Before we leave, what do you say to our hosts?"
Eva turned to Belle. "Thank you for having me in your beautiful home."
"Ah, that's so sweet," Belle said, before turning to Ned, "You've raised such a lovely daughter."

After Eva and her dad departed, Belle and I found ourselves in the kitchen. She looked up some healthy smoothie recipe on her tablet, then blended myself and her a glass. When I tasted her brownish-green concoction, I squinted in disgust but tried to appear grateful.
"Eva's dad. He seems like a nice man," Belle said, sipping her drink, the taste of it apparently not an issue for her.
"Were you the one that welcomed him in?" I asked.
"I did. Why?" she innocently asked.
"Nothing, I just didn't know you were home."
"Oops, sorry! Did I interrupt your private time with Eva?"
"No, it's not like that," I replied, sensing the insinuation. "Like she said, we're just friends."
"Wasn't she the girl you went on a date with?"
"Yeah, but, um, never mind. Long story." I changed topics. "How was your spin class this morning?"
"Tiring! It got me super hungry. I had lunch at Eden right after."
"Eden? I thought they were only open for dinner."
"They're testing out lunch hours. Apparently, demand's been really high since they've opened."
"Nice! Rita and Seb must be thrilled with business."
Belle slurped the last of her smoothie. "Alright, I'm so sticky from spin. I'm gonna head up for a quick shower." She exited the kitchen, her toned ass looking extra scrumptious in her yellow lycra.
Interestingly, Belle had left her tablet sitting on the kitchen counter. I waited a good couple of minutes, making sure she was safely gone before I decided to unlock her device. When I opened up Vanishhh, I only saw one name...
Seb: "Swing by Eden around noon if you're around. I'm here alone, been testing a special lunch menu. Gonna expand our hours starting tomorrow."
Belle: "Fun. But am I really going to be fed?"
S: "Yes."
B: "Food-wise, I mean."
S: "Yes, that too."
B: "Lol. I just finished spin so my legs are dead. I can barely stand."
S: "Plenty of positions for us to work around that."
An hour and a half later, their messages had continued.
