It was a perfect night on the shores of Mykonos. The sky was a gorgeous deep dark blue, with thousands of stars shining brightly above them; the sand below their bodies was as soft as the richest pillows; the waves were lapping against the beach, murmuring sweet nothings. And Kyra was warm and yielding in Kassandra's arms, her lips as sweet as honey.

They had spent the whole evening here, in this little cove hidden from prying eyes, drinking wine and talking and laughing. When the sun had set, their bodies had found their own language, furtive touches at first, skin brushing against skin, as if by accident, then a gentle, soft kiss. And now they were kissing, touching, unable to get enough of each other, wholly engrossed in what they were doing, until-

"Kyra?" Thaletas' voice, sounding shocked and incredulous. "I thought we- What are you doing?"

Oh shit! Kassandra felt Kyra freeze up in her arms. Her own mind was racing. No surprise, perhaps, that he had shown up here – Kyra had probably spent time with him in this spot as well. She hadn't made a secret of her attraction to the handsome Spartan, after all. And Kassandra was pretty sure Thaletas returned those feelings. Still, this had every potential to turn into a nasty scene, and while Kassandra was sure she could take him in a fight, she didn't want Kyra to get hurt in any way.

But maybe, just maybe there was a way out that wouldn't involve any drama. If she played this right… "Shhh." Her fingers painted soft circles on the smooth skin of Kyra's neck. Calmly, she met Thaletas' gaze. "Chaire, Thaletas. It's good to see you."

His eyes were wide, and he was taking in the scene before him with a mixture of shock and… yes, definitely arousal. No wonder. Two beautiful women, both of them bare to their waists, entangled in a fiery embrace… Kassandra knew plenty of men that would have paid to be greeted by just such a scenario. "Kassandra? But what-"

"Don't worry. We were just… exploring a little bit." Kassandra kept her voice as warm and non-threatening as she could. She wasn't here to take his lover from him, far from that. All she wanted was a bit of fun, a distraction before heading on to new adventures. There was really no reason for him to be concerned. "You know, just passing the time until your arrival."

Fortunately, Kyra caught on quickly. Freeing herself from Kassandra's embrace, she winked briefly at her, then got to her feet and walked towards Thaletas. When she was right before him, she let her robe slither to the ground with a graceful shrug, leaving her completely naked. It was a pleasant sight indeed – and one that didn't fail to have an impact on the Spartan.

"Why don't you join us, my love." Kyra's voice was husky, pure seduction dripping from every syllable like honeyed wine. "I've missed you."

Thaletas' eyes widened even further. "Join you? But-"

Kassandra shrugged, not missing the way his eyes darted to her bare breasts as she did so. "Why not? I'd be quite happy to have you both."

"Both!" Thaletas swallowed hard and he looked so confused that she took pity on him. Poor guy. It was all a bit much to take in. At least he didn't seem angry.

Still, it was probably better not to push him too hard. "If you'd prefer me to leave…" Kassandra reached for her clothes.

"No. Wait." He seemed to have regained a little of his confidence. "Kyra. Love. What do you want?"

Kassandra held her breath. But the wine seemed to have made Kyra bold. Wrapping both arms around Thaletas' neck, she buried her face against his neck. "I want you to hold me while Kassandra kisses me." Thaletas made a small, stifled noise in the back of his throat, but Kyra just went on, oblivious to his reaction. "And I want her to watch as you make love to me. I want you both touching me everywhere. And I want-"

"Enough!" Thaletas was clearly more than convinced. With a rough growl, he pulled Kyra tight to his body. "Then that's what you shall have, my love. Kassandra?"

She was already there, of course, right behind him, reaching for the straps of his armour. "Are you sure? Really sure?"

He nodded briefly, and when she touched him, a shiver ran across his whole body. His armour came off as quickly as they could make it, as did her remaining clothes, and then all three of them sunk to the ground, naked and warm and wonderful. Kyra had claimed the space in the middle and her eyes were closed in bliss as she surrendered herself completely to their combined caresses.

And by the gods, it felt good, hot and sweet and natural. It wasn't what Kassandra had planned for this night, but if she was honest, she didn't particularly mind the change of plans. Thaletas was a good-looking guy, after all, despite his tendency to pout, and he had a lovely body, all strength and muscle. A very nice cock, too, she verified with a quick glance, and she really hoped he knew what to do with it.

They took turns kissing Kyra, stealing each other's breath from her lips, giddy with desire, until she was laughing, begging them to stop. Leaving Thaletas to play with her breasts, Kassandra wiggled around a little, until she'd managed to place her head on his thigh. She breathed a tentative kiss on the tip of his cock, then glanced up to gauge his reaction. He was staring down at her head, his breath coming in quick, hard gasps, and he nodded, just once. Kassandra needed no further invitation.

With a happy sigh, she sucked him in, as far as she dared, and was rewarded with a loud moan and a hand tightening in her hair. She smiled to herself, and set to work properly, nibbling and sucking, taking her time to work out what he loved best. She hadn't been with a man in quite some time, so it made for a nice change, and she loved the weight of him on her tongue, loved the way his whole body went taut when she sucked harder. It was so much fun to play with him, to test the limits of his control. He might have all the discipline of a true Spartan, but she was pretty sure she could make him come undone.

It didn't take her long to make him beg, and by the gods, it was the most satisfying sound she'd heard in a while. Still, it was too early to let him come yet, so she let go of him with a last, regretful suck and turned her attention to Kyra, ignoring his protests.

Kyra had watched the whole thing with rapt attention, but now she seemed more than ready for more. When Thaletas' mouth locked around one pert nipple, she cried out with pleasure, cradling his dark head to her breast. And when Kassandra parted her legs, she found her wet and open, moving eagerly into her touch. Smiling, Kassandra spread her legs even wider and bent down to taste her.

She started off slowly, with just a few gentle licks, but Kyra wouldn't have it, mewling with impatience until she got bolder, tongue swirling through her folds, painting hot patterns, over and over. Kyra's mewls turned into deep-throated happy moans, and Kassandra smiled to herself. So sweet. Somewhere at the edge of her awareness she could hear Thaletas echo his lover's moans, but Kassandra didn't allow herself to get sidetracked. This was for Kyra, and she focussed completely on the other woman's pleasure, teasing her with gentle licks, light as butterfly wings, then thrusting her tongue deep inside her. It was heaven, exactly what she'd dreamed off, and she didn't stop, until she felt Kyra pulsing against her tongue and heard her final high-pitched scream.

When she pulled back, Thaletas was staring at her, panting so hard she could see his chest raise and fall. "Gods." He sounded wrecked. "You amaze me, Kassandra. That was incredible."

Kassandra tended to agree, but she wasn't done with the two of them yet, not by a long stretch. "Your turn now." She motioned for Thaletas to take her place between Kyra's legs, moving behind her to hold her. Kyra leaned back into her arms with a pleased sigh, but she was still trembling, still more than willing to play. Kassandra was sure she could take more. At a quick nod from her, Thaletas aligned himself and thrust hard inside Kyra's willing body. She cried out again, arching up high, and Kassandra bit her own lip hard. If she was honest, she would have loved to be in Kyra's place right now, with Thaletas filling her, but she knew that would be too much, too fast. Maybe later… maybe next time.

Thaletas wasn't going to last long anyway, that much was obvious from the way he was moving, quick, jerky thrusts, his whole body tense with the effort of holding back. And yet, it was beautiful to watch, the two of them so close, practically in her arms, two gorgeous people at their most vulnerable, chasing a climax that promised to be overwhelming. It was almost enough to make her come, too, what with the way Kyra was writhing against her, the way she could feel every single one of Thaletas' thrusts. So hot.

Kyra was whimpering now, breathless and eager, and Thaletas was struggling visibly, the muscles in his arms taut as cords. Time to help things along. Carefully, Kassandra reached between them, finding Kyra's slick core, gasping involuntarily when she felt Thaletas' cock slide into her, hard and fast. Her fingers danced over hot flesh, finding the perfect spot with assurance. Just a few gentle touches, and Kyra was screaming again, thrashing in her arms, and Thaletas' hips stuttered to a halt as he poured himself inside her, groaning and shaking all over. Beautiful.

It took a while for the two of them to regain their senses, and Kassandra spent the time softly kissing Kyra's sweat-soaked forehead and stroking Thaletas' flanks. But when he raised his head and their eyes met, she couldn't hold back a moan. There was a fierce determination in his gaze, and it made her shiver.

Right next to her, Kyra laughed softly. "Time to pay you back, misthios." There was a mischievous gleam in her eyes. "Time to make you scream."

"I'm all yours." Kassandra lay back with an inviting gesture. "Do your worst."

They didn't disappoint her. Between Kyra's talented tongue and Thaletas' thick fingers, thrusting patiently inside her, they had her on the brink of ecstasy within moments and they kept her there until she was ready to beg. When they finally allowed her to come, she did scream, too overcome to hold back any more, her whole body flooded with a pleasure so intense she almost cried. And afterwards they held her tight, all three of them huddled under a blanket until they fell asleep, sticky and sated and exhausted.

Kassandra was the first to wake in the morning, and by the time Thaletas stretched and yawned, she had already finished buckling on her armour, ready to return to her day's work of hunting bandits and ambushing Athenian soldiers.

"Kassandra." His voice was sleepy, but full of warmth. "Leaving already?"

Kyra opened a hazy eye, looking disappointed. "Can't you stay a little longer?"

"Not now." She shook her head. "My job here isn't done yet. But maybe, some other time…?" She bent down to brush a quick kiss against Kyra's lips, then, after a moment of hesitation, kissed Thaletas, too.

He smiled at her, but his eyes were serious. Always so serious. "Any time you want, Kassandra. Any time."

She had to bite back a grin. "Careful. I might just take you up on that promise."

"I rather hope you will." Kyra was grinning openly. "See you soon."

"You, too." Kassandra got to her feet, whistling for Phobos.

No, she had no interest in coming between those two. After all, she wouldn't be around forever. Once things were settled here on Mykonos, she would move on. There was still so much to do, so much to explore and to learn. But if she could have a little fun with them until that time, she certainly wasn't going to complain.
