I Locked My Professor's Office Door, and Left Belonging to Three Men novel · Chapter 11 of 24

Chapter 11: All Three

I turned the lock at four on Thursday, and when I turned around Marcello was already unbuttoning his shirt.

Nathan sat on the green sofa with his sleeves rolled to the elbow.

Colin stood at the window with his back to the gray afternoon.

None of them said hello.

"Claudia knows," Marcello said.

I held the key in my fist.

"She's known since the night after the library," he said. "I told her in the barn. She asked me one question."

"What question?"

"If you locked the door yourself," he said.

"And?"

"And I said yes, and she said, 'Good.'" His voice was rough.

"She has set your place at the table every Thursday since."

He swallowed.

"She asks about you. She asks when you're coming."

My knees went weak.

I leaned back against the oak door.

"She doesn't hate me."

"She does not," said Nathan quietly.

"She isn't hurt."

"I didn't say that," Marcello said. "I said she doesn't hate you. Claudia will tell you the rest herself, tonight, if you'll come."

I put the key in my pocket.

I looked at the three of them, one at a time.

I had been avoiding that house for six weeks.

I had been sending apologies with a headache in them.

"I'll come," I said.

Marcello's shoulders came down.

"But first," I said, "I want what I came for."

"Tell us," Nathan said.

"All three of you. At once. On that sofa."

Nobody laughed.

Colin's hand tightened on the windowsill.

"Hannah," Marcello said. "You've never."

"I know what I haven't. I've been planning it since the bridge."

I crossed the office and sat down on the green velvet sofa.

I unbuttoned my cardigan, slowly, and let it fall off my shoulders.

"I want my mouth full," I said. "I want to be filled from behind, where Marcello's fingers taught me in the Arboretum."

I looked at Colin.

"And I want you under me."

"God," Nathan said.

"You'll have to tell me when it's too much."

"I'll tell you when I want more."

Marcello went to his desk and opened the bottom drawer.

He took out a small glass bottle.

"I've kept this here since Friday of the library," he said. "I would like it known that I'm an optimist."

I stood and took off my blouse and my bra and my skirt.

I stood naked in front of the three of them in Marcello's office with the green lamp on.

They looked at me for a long time.

"Come here, all of you," I said.

They came.
