I know some readers have been waiting a while for this chapter. The thing is... I received a fair bit of hate messages about this series, which was discouraging... But I wrote this and have a rough outline for the next 3 chapters at the moment, which I'll write depending on how it goes...
All characters are above the age of 18.
Character key at the end.

"My favorite. Thanks, Jordan!" Reese rejoiced. He was majorly salivating.
"First slice is all yours, bro," Caleb cut him a big slab of roast beef and poured the red sauce over it. It smelled delicious. The potatoes were perfectly done, too. I might've also been salivating.
It was a Friday night, so everyone went around the table to review their week. The brothers called it their "happies and crappies." Haha! Good things and not so great things anyone wanted to discuss.
Reese started, "Happy, this dinner. Crappy, hmm, my part time job at the mechanic shop is eating into a lot of study time, but I enjoy working there. I might reassess some of my hours at the end of this month."
"We can help review your shifts and schedule," Asher.
"'hannksh," Reese replied with a stuffed mouth. He was really enjoying his dinner! He could be on a food commercial.
Caleb went next. "Happy, Ollie's lips."
I choked on my food. That was so embarassing! The brothers laughed at me. I was double embrasssed.
Caleb smiled wide. "Crappy, not enough nights with Ollie in my bed."
"Caleb..." I knew my face was red.
He laughed joyfully again.
Jordan mentioned winning a tough case we had all been following. We congratulated and toasted to him with our water and soda glasses.
The twins combined theirs as usual.
"Happy, we scored high on our science quiz because of Liv!"
"Crappy, we second not enough nights with Olive in our bed."
"No repeats." Jordan lightly teased.
"Fine... Crappy, not enough naked time with Olive."
I choked again. These brothers loved to tease me!
I opened my mouth to retort, but Reese cut me off, "Little one, your turn. Happy and crappy."
"I'm happy to have dinner with you guys almost every night. Crappy... Can someone, um... Could one of you teach me how to drive? Please?" I couldn't afford to get my license before, but living here, I was able to save up from my part time job.
Jordan answered first, "You don't need to learn. I'll drive you anywhere you want to go."
Asher scoffed, "Dude, come on, Olive wants to learn."
"Let's do it!" Caleb and Avery said at the same time. They whipped their heads towards each other and automatically started a game of rock paper scissors.
Caleb won. "Hell yeah!"
"Best two out of three?" Avery tried.
"Nope," Caleb popped the 'p.'
The twins couldn't help giggling despite losing.
Big, bad Reese, on the other hand, was very nervous. The next morning, he got up early (wow) and took Caleb's car to the shop to double, no triple, check the breaks and air bags and oil and everything. Also, before I left the following morning, he went over a million scenarios and gave me way more snacks and supplies than I needed for a few hour lesson.
Caleb took me to an empty home depot parking lot. He was a patient and detailed teacher! He simplified everything, and I felt comfortable the whole time with him. He said he'd help me apply for my permit and that he or Avery would take me out on the roads next time.
When I returned home, I found Jordan zoned out in his bedroom, lying in bed, in the middle of the day! He usually never was during the day. Ever.
"Jordie? Do you want to talk?"
"Oliver," he smiled sadly. "I'm okay. You should be with one of the others. I'm not good company right now." He threw an arm over his face.
"Jooordieeee!" I jumped on his bed and hugged him. "What's wrong now? Your brothers and you seem to be on good terms again. Did something else happen?"
"No, we're good..." His throat worked.
I often had the most trouble prying out Jordan's feelings. He always seemed to be carrying too much weight on his shoulders and too many thoughts in his head and too many emotions in his heart. I straddled him and started massaging his shoulders.
"What are you doing?" He finally quirked a small smile.
"I want you to relax. And tell me what you're feeling."
His face became serious again. He said, "I'm jealous and nervous."
"About what?" I kneaded more deeply.
"You."
I stopped moving. "What? Why?"
"You get along with my brothers so well, which usually I love."
"But?"
"But they have a certain ease around each other that I can't seem to match. For example, you wanted to learn how to drive, and everyone besides me helped you in some way to start doing that. All I did was... nothing. What if, one day, you find your relationship with me irrelevant? What if you end up choosing one of the others? What if you only don't want to be with me anymore?"
I listened closely to everything Jordan had to say. I could feel how fragile this usually strong man was, so I wanted to answer carefully, but...
I laughed! I couldn't stop.
Jordan looked baffled.
Between breaths, I said, "Omg! Jordie, you're so silly!"
"What?"
I calmed down a bit. "I love you because of the way you are! I love each of you, because of your different personalities but continued care and... adoration. All in different ways... but I feel it all the same."
"You love us? Me?"
"Y-yes." I touched his jaw slightly. "Yes, I do, Jordie."
His mouth parted. He kissed my hand and said, "My brothers have been my whole world for so long, I didn't have time to open my heart to a partner, but you came crashing into our lives, and you've fit in seamlessly. There isn't enything else I could wish for. Except for you to keep loving me like I do you?"
He pulled me to his lips and kissed me again and again and again. It was unhurried and languid. A beauitiful evening to relax without time constraints.
I veered off course, nipping his jaw and kissing down his neck with big sloppy kisses. His breathing deepened. I loved the effect I had on this strong, older man.
I pushed up his shirt, which he graciously pulled off. I kissed all over his chest, licking and soothing his skin. He was burning up, and I took pride in the fact that I could make him like this.
I licked and sucked each outline of muscle on his torso. When I got to the V of his abs, I gave him the attention they deserved. By the time I reached his waistband, Jordan seemed like a muscled live wire ready to snap.
I gripped his waistband. He lifted his hips. I salivated when his big, beautiful cock appeared.
When I licked him base to tip, his breath whooshed out of him. I nuzzled his base and gave every inch of his huge member small, teasing kisses. He already had a drop building at his tip. I quickly licked it and hummed in satisfaction.
Jordan stroked my cheeks and pet my hair, almost reverently.
I mouthed his shaft and finally sucked the head of him in my mouth.
"Oliver..." he groaned.
