Author's Note: This story is centered around the twins having a threesome with Michael. If that's not your jam based on the previous two chapters, feel free to go pick a different story. If I have to turn comments off, I will, because anonymity tends to make people feel like its okay to talk out of their ass and I don't have to deal with that.
With that, feel free to picture the characters however you wish.
I hope you enjoy yourself!

For a moment she felt like her voice had been stolen by a voluptuous sea witch but her brain quickly remedied the situation by flooding her with the need to breathe. The next breath that was pulled in to expand her lungs dislodged the spell encasing her voice box.
"I...What are you doing here?"
"I was invited. Are you going to let me in?" He nudged the door with the tip of his boot and brought a heavy bouquet of pink, purple and black dahlias with a blend of red chrysanthemums from behind his back. Ignoring the drum pounding wildly within the cage of her ribs, she stepped back and let her gaze caress the beautiful pairings of her favorite flowers.
"For you, of course. I definitely confused the florist when I asked for the black dahlias. She gave me a mini lecture on why I shouldn't include them because of their meaning. It was kinda funny how she gasped like a beached fish when I told her that I know they represent betrayal but that they are your absolute favorite flower."
"Th-thanks. Hey Si? Can you come get the vase down for me, please?" Accepting the thick bouquet, she couldn't help but lift it to her nose and inhale the scents on her way to the kitchen. Hearing the door close behind her as Michael undoubtedly crossed the threshold, she looked up at her brother as he joined her. Looking down to study the petals of each blossom, she stroked her fingertips along the soft flesh as Si dug around in the cabinet over the fridge to get the vase for her.
"Why did you invite him? Is this why you brought him up earlier? So you could ambush me? Are you regretting what we did? If so you could have just said so, what the fu-" Her hushed whispers were cut off with a hasty kiss as he set the vase down beside her on the counter.
"Kinda, not to ambush you and no, I'm not regretting it. You're both still hung up on each other and I want you to be happy, again. Not to mention I want my best friend back."
"I told you I was fine with you still hanging out with him." Busying herself with settling the flowers in the vase, she made sure they had enough water and shook out the packet of powder that came tucked into the stems into the water.
"I know but I felt like an ass choosing him over my baby sister." His callused hand stroked down along the length of her back, his fingers curving to conform to the swell of her backside. Leaning down as she danced her fingertips along the dark curves of her flowers, he kissed her temple with a hidden smile.
"Let's get this torture session over with." Carefully hoisting the heavy porcelain up to carry it to the dining room table, her brow arched at the sight of Michael removing a bottle of rum from a gold embossed, dark purple, velvet drawstring bag. "You're both as devious as ever, I see." Setting the vase in front of the empty fourth seat, she sank down into her usual chair without realizing that it would put her directly between the two of them.
Sharing a smirk between them, Michael handed Silas a red box emblazoned with the logo of their favorite bakery.
"Flowers, rum and dessert? You're laying it on pretty thick, don't you think?" She quipped.
"If I remember correctly, that's the way you like it, kitten." Michael silently settled into the chair to her left like he always did no matter what restaurant they'd ever gone to. The length of her spine stiffened with the caress of her nickname hidden in the gruff baritone of his voice. That singular word had always been enough to quicken her hunger. Letting a shaky breath escape through her nose as she tried to remain calm, she thought about admonishing him for using it but decided to let it slide. Her silent acceptance sent a smile flitting quickly across Michael's lips and he set about filling their glasses with the light amber of the botanical rum. While they shared their moment, Silas was off putting the dessert in the fridge and when he finally rejoined them and dropped into his chair, he and Michael quickly fell into their old friendship. Their conversation cascaded over topic after topic, crashing over the boulders conflict had tried to damn the river with as if they didn't exist at all. It was difficult to stay at the edges and so she stopped trying, opting instead to throw herself into the rapids to join their reunion.
Surprise grazed her synapses every now and again at just how easy it was to forget all that happened between them. It felt like it was just another Sunday night dinner, the ones they had always made a point to have since they started at Amberson 3 years ago. Taking the last sip of her fourth glass to wash down the final bite of her gnocchi, she sat back and savored the warm embrace the rum had wrapped her in. Noticing they were both done, she slid the empty lowball towards Michael and stood.
