He wanted nothing more than to hold onto what they had once had.
His painful erection broke free and honed his focus. He pumped it once, relished the warmth of his hand against the chill of the air and then used two hands to lube up his fingers.
He was going to enjoy this. So much.
‘Now, Kira,’ he said.
The jerk of Nick’s body hid nothing. Her attention was immediate. The groan that vibrated through Nick’s chest reverberated through his. When he slid his glossy fingers into the crease of Nick’s ass, the man bucked into Kira’s mouth and she hummed in appreciation. Euan’s smile stretched the skin at his cheek. In that moment, he enjoyed the hurt.
There were no demons to be fought, not within Nick. Those monsters were dead, buried, their carcasses had long rotted and decayed. Only love and excitement radiated from the man in his arms as he played with that tight ring of muscle, and listened to the song he sang, but Euan still took care and kept his senses attuned to terrors that might waylay them.
When he slipped his fingers inside the man he loved, his focus contracted to that single point. Warmth, tightness. Nick’s was tense, even with Kira’s focus. He pulled Nick’s torso close to his chest and bent down until his lips could touch the skin at his neck, trail his tongue up and around the whirls of his ear. ‘I love you, Nicky. Love you so fucking much, I’ll never leave you again, never hurt you like that again, I swear it.’
Nick’s hitch of breath had nothing to do with the tongue that laved his cock, or the mouth that swallowed that enormous erection as if it were nothing more than a candy cane. Kira’s eyes were closed, her hands worked in time with her mouth, Nick had no hope of escape.
‘Nicky? Hear me?’
Nick nodded as Euan played and Kira sucked. He pumped his fingers, twisted, scissored, stretched the muscle as Nick finally relaxed into what was happening between them. A sigh was followed by a shudder. Euan delved deep with his fingers, added a third for good measure before he pulled out. More lube went onto his hand as his mouth continued to kiss and lathe. Nick’s hips bucked, his breath was ragged. His eyes were scrunched tight.
Euan placed his erection at the entrance to Nick, waited for the tension to ease out of his body before he said, ‘You gonna wait for me?’
‘Always,’ was the hoarse reply.
His word lanced through Euan’s chest, and even through the pain it created, he pushed forward. Heat, a grip that could make him cry. One hand was in Kira’s wet hair, the other wrapped around the man he loved for both balance and comfort.
Christ, he loved them. He loved them both so fucking much.
He moved, his hips slow. Nick’s body vibrated with suppressed want between them. Euan could sense Nick’s need to buck into Kira’s mouth, but he was holding back. Euan pinched a flat nipple and his trembling escalated, his skin slick and hot. Euan wouldn’t have it, his restraint aggravated, and by the annoyed glint in Kira’s eye, she wouldn’t have it either.
‘Fuck her, I want to see it, hear it. So does she.’
‘Jesus,’ was the curse, but Nick did as he was told. The gates that held his control burst open, and he began to rock between them. The thrust and draw was exquisite, glorious. Euan struggled to hold himself back. He spread his legs as wide as his pants would allow, and planted his feet firmly into the wet earth so he could be their rock, their safeguard against everything.
They swayed, they grunted, they moaned. Kira’s gasps for air were periodic as she lathed attention and devotion onto Nick. It felt as though hours passed. An infinity in seconds. But the reality was far less endearing.
Euan shifted his hips, hit that place inside Nick that made him cry out, kick into Kira without control. A beast was in Euan’s arms, an animal that sped towards a cliff, the pinnacle where darkness ended, and light began. Euan braced, clenched his teeth for the violence that approached.
Mere moments and an inarticulate cry burst from Nick. His body no longer his own as he bucked between them and began to come. Euan was not far behind. They rode the wave of pleasure, swearing, grunting, whispering words of devotion and love until Nick’s knees trembled and Euan’s body sagged.
Kira backed off and smiled with swollen lips as she swallowed the last of Nick. She sat on her haunches eyes bright with need and desire, with love. Skin flushed, nipples pointed, knees parted just enough for Euan to see what lay between. He licked his lips in anticipation, stroked his hand down Nicky’s slick chest and made one final thrust with a softening cock, just because he could.
The breath in Nick’s throat caught. Kira’s grin widened.
So fucking beautiful. Both of them. He was surrounded by new life. The forest waking from a long winter. Green buds lined their spindly branches as armaments to spring. Blossoms emerging on the saplings, pink and red and white. The air crisp with the scent of a rich soil and emerging growth. The sky was filled with grey cloud, but to Euan, it only signalled the chance for sustaining
