I'll be honest with ya'll. I hate myself sometimes. This was just supposed to be a one-shot and has now turned into a full on fic in my head, how often it'll be updated is not determined or anything like that. I've only got bits and pieces in my head on what I want to do with this fic as a whole to begin with anyways. Those expecting the sequel to The Worst Days I promise I'm still working on that at the moment, I hope to have that started on the first next month.

The rating is M for several reasons; Sex, violence, blood, not so much gore but we'll see what happens, and more than likely a death here or there. We'll see what the fingers decide to type out.

We'll be jumping right into a lemon here in this chapter, as I said it was supposed to just be a one shot. Don't wanna read it then just back out of the entire fic cus it's probably gonna be filled with those.

I think that's about it, hope you enjoy.


18 Hours Earlier:

The ground trembled under their unsteady feet, their grips on the handles of their guns tight as they rode out the third explosion of a bomb on the top floor of the building they were in. Pieces of the building that had been blown away could be heard falling apart, shaking the entire thing on its foundation harder. Screams echoed from down the halls, the lights flickering above them frantically as the generators were trying to stay on through the assault the building was currently under until the lights gave out, casting the long hall in complete darkness.

"Shit!"

"Just calm down. If we reach the next floor we should come up to a walkway with windows."

"It's night out!"

Crimson eyes rolled at the statement, "Street lamps you idiot." He spat back at his partner hidden behind the wall across from him.

"How many hostages were there?"

"Twenty." Kai sighed, shaking his head and rubbing the sweat rolling down his face with the back of his sleeve.

"And how many more of these men are there?" Tala asked as he lifted the dead arm of the man laying between them with the tip of his boot.

"Do you ever listen to briefings?" Kai snapped at him, "There's forty… Well thirty-nine now." He said as he glanced down at the man between them.

Tala dropped the man's arm carelessly, "Have you heard anything from any of the other teams?" Tala asked as he stepped over the dead man's body and stood behind Kai.

"Two down on blue and one on purple." Kai said through grit teeth and a slight growl in the back of his throat.

"Well fuck." Tala shook his head, "I told them not to send in those rookies."

"Too late now… C'mon we have to keep going." Kai said as the tremors finally let up, hoping to use the time to actually get out of the blackened hall now while they could.

Tala followed after him obediently, icy-blue eyes darting around every opened door they passed by with his gun at his side and at the ready. They made it to the stairwell at the end of the hall, Kai pulling out a glow stick from the belt that sat over his hips that he cracked against his knee to give off a soft lime-green glow to light their steps in the black stairwell.

"You know we have lights on these, right?" Tala whispered quietly as they went in, the heavy door swinging shut behind them and they held their breaths for a second as their eyes swept around the area for any signs of their enemy or traps.

"Because that screams 'here I am, shoot me'." He bit back, rolling his eyes for what seemed the hundredth time since they had broken in through the basement almost three hours ago.

Tala bit his lip, following Kai up the first set of steps and around the corner. Pausing every now and then to breathe and scope out the area best they could with what little light the glow stick gave off.

It took longer than they thought was needed to get to the seventh floor, carefully peering around the corner of the door they had opened. At least, they both thought, was that they hadn't had to suffer through another bomb blast and had made it up the stairwell without issue.

As Kai had said the hall they were on had windows, the lights from the streetlamps barely making a dent in the darkness as the blues and reds of police cruisers, fire trucks, and ambulances danced off the walls from outside on the streets below them.

"Dammit, they weren't supposed to be here yet." Tala ground his teeth together.

"It's fine, we have our goal they have theirs."

"But, we can't let them get to him before we do. Boss will have a shit fit." Tala groaned.

Kai sighed; Tala was right but there was nothing they could do about it. More than likely the usual riffraff wouldn't even be able to get through the barricade that had been set up at every corner of the building they were currently inside. They had gone through the underground tunnels and through the basement to even get inside, thankfully without hindrance but when their four teams split up was when shit hit the fan.

They knew they were there, and they now had a smaller window to get their target and get out. If their boss had listened to them instead of insisting on the four teams Tala and Kai could have already been in and out, no casualties but after the fiasco in Orlando they had no say in the matter for once.

"Let's just hurry up." Kai said, dragging Tala's attention to him and took off down the hall like a flash of lightning.

Tala sprang up, running after him. Their feet barely making a noise down the tiled corridors as they went, for once grateful for the training they received back in the Abbey when they were children.

As they reached the end of the windowed hallway that sat over the sidewalk, connecting the two parts of the buildings together, there came a heavy rain of gunfire. The darkness they had been cast into flashing with the ends of the guns going off directly in front of them.

Kai lifted his to fire back as he slipped around the corner of the closest wall he could get to, Tala close behind him. The adrenaline that was running through them keeping them on their feet, they had felt the bullets hit their chests but the heavy armor under their shirts had kept them safe. There was a searing, burning, pain in Kai's shoulder and as the gunfire died down he chanced a look at it.

Blood was soaking through the sleeve of his shirt, what wasn't being soaked through was running down his shoulder and under his arm. It felt more like a graze than an actual hit though, he could still move it and that was all he needed to know.

"Tell them to take them out." Kai ordered quietly.

Tala nodded, eyes on the wound for a second before he pressed a finger into his ear and gave off their coordinates to the responding team. As he pulled his finger away from the small chip tucked in his ear there was a clink on the floor as something hit and then rolled down the opening of the hall they were hiding in by their feet.

"Fuck!" Kai grabbed Tala by the waist before he had a chance to move himself.

The snipers across the streets took out the opposing side as the grenade they had tossed into the hall went off in a blinding and furious explosion.


Present Time:

There was a slight flutter that made itself known in the pit of Ray's stomach as he heard the familiar, almost unnoticeable, whir of Kai's car as it parked in the garage off to the side of the kitchen, where he was stood and finishing up their dinner.

It had been two, agonizing long weeks that his boyfriends had been away on business. Leaving him alone in the house, going to school and his own work by himself. He had missed them, both, something fierce but knew not to crowd them the second they stepped into the door. They would want their space, get their things inside and just eat and relax. He'd be lucky if one ended up just crashing in his bed for the night, but he wasn't holding out too much hope.

He knew the routine well enough; he had been in this interesting circle of a relationship for three years now. He was the outsider, the one they had pulled into something they already had established for two years before him. He had questioned it, had his reservations about it at first until he got a taste of it.

There was a rush, when it started and even three years later the rush was still there. Still invigorating and making him feel more alive than he ever had, if he got the chance to do it again he would without hesitation.

His ears perked, the fluttering in his chest getting faster as the garage door opened off to the side of where he stood as he turned to greet them coming inside. They wore smiles, not normal big ones but the ones that always fell on their faces that he knew and had loved back when they were teenagers.

Despite being tired, they were happy to be home; Tala had probably cracked a joke before they stepped into the house and that in turn lifted the gloom mood Ray had been in since he had waved them off two weeks ago.

"Smells good Kit." Tala praised as he stepped over to him, throwing an arm around his shoulders and kissed him on the cheek.

"Thanks, should be done here in a minute." Ray smiled at the small gesture, listening to their third member shuffle around the kitchen to the dining room and taking a seat at the head of the table like he always did.

"How was the trip?" Ray asked them both, since the kitchen and dining room was open and connected.

"Oh you know, boring and stiff. Not much to tell really."
Kai lifted a brow as he looked up at the two of them, "We closed the deal, is what he's meaning to say."

Ray smirked a little, even after so long and having grown up Kai had never really changed. Tala's personality, once he was out from under Boris, had surprised him a little.

At times he could just be as cold and hard headed as Kai was, which was always a disaster in the home when they both butt heads and or turned on him. For the most part he was flirty, spontaneous, and well rounded. He and Ray were pretty similar, though Tala had and always would have a shorter fuse than he did.

"Well that's good, would have been a waste of time and money if you went for nothing." Ray put in as he turned off the stove top, working with the weight of Tala's arm hanging around his shoulders.

That was another thing that had slightly surprised him, Tala was very touchy in and out of the home. Ray never complained, he liked the attention, but it did get bothersome at times; especially when he was trying to cook them dinner.

"Tal, leave him alone." Kai called from the table.

If anything, from being on the same team with Ray for three years of them being teenagers, he knew not to crowd him in the kitchen. Ray was just too polite to tell Tala to shove off, always having to be the one to tug the leash on his pup to get off his cat.

"You two have had each other to yourselves for two weeks, he's fine Kai." Ray said without looking at him, knowing Tala had lifted his head and stuck his tongue out at the other at the table as he shuffled around with Ray towards what he needed from the cupboards.

Kai rolled his eyes at the tongue being stuck at him before he flicked Tala off. That going unnoticed behind Ray's back, and slightly thankful for it since he didn't want him to get the impression that it was for him.

"See, he's missed me."

"I've missed you both." Ray chuckled at Tala's comment, still working under his arm as the pup had become glued to his side like a leech.

Ray passed Tala his plate of food, hoping that would finally get him unstuck and it worked. Getting a quick pat on the ass before he went and sat down a good distance away from Kai, instead of right on his left where he normally would sit.

Ray wasn't long behind him, bringing over his and Kai's plates and sat down in his normal seat on his right. Giving Tala a raised brow since he decided to dine away from them, though it was probably for the better as he could already see the fires roaring to life between the two of them.

Of course this was nothing new either, Kai got more irritable after a business trip. It was his empire; Tala was just his secretary and right hand man that got to go with him while he was left there to miss them every time. Even if he always wanted to go with them he had his own life apart from theirs, which was something he enjoyed having. He wasn't just their lover or play thing, he had a life outside of them as they had their own lives outside of him.

"How was school?" Tala asked, directing at Ray and purposely avoiding the third wheel.

"It was good." Ray nodded back, trying to swallow his food quickly so he could answer. "Passed that test I was telling you guys about, not top of the class but good enough."

"That's great Kit." Tala's smile grew the width of his mouth as he looked at him.

The table went silent for a few minutes between them, Ray knowing that the other two were probably finally feeling the weight of their trip falling on their shoulders now that they were resting and being fed.

"I took off for a week." Ray said to them, grabbing their attentions.

"Work or school?" Kai asked, giving him a questioning look.

"Both, figured it'd be nice since you two just got home and all."

Tala frowned and finally made eye contact with Kai, "You didn't tell him, did you?"

Ray blinked, glancing between them. "Tell me what?"

Kai sighed heavily before he shot a dirty look at Tala down on the other end of the table, knowing they had already argued about who needed to tell him. He had been under the impression that Tala had finally caved and did it, apparently he was wrong.

"We're leaving again, it's sudden I know and not what we usually do but something's come up that we can't ignore." Kai sighed, giving Ray his best apologetic smile.

Ray tried to smile back but his lips only twitched upward before they fell back down. "It's okay… Why don't we come with you? Since I'm off anyways?" He asked, trying to sound hopeful.

Once more Kai and Tala exchanged quiet glances at one another, "Maybe another time?" Kai settled on and touched the top of Ray's hand that was resting over the table.

Ray sighed and nodded, part of him understood but the other part felt like he was being tossed aside. With the kind of relationship he was in there was the odd one always feeling left out, the jealousy they fought to keep at bay would still seep out between them. There were times that Ray thought of walking out, only to be pulled back by the same thing that had dragged him in to start with. He couldn't leave them, he loved them both too much to walk out and he knew they loved him just the same.

"I'm really sorry Ray."

"No it's okay." Ray shrugged it off, "We'll be fine here."

Kai nodded, the table once more getting flooded with a silence as they finished their dinner. Kai gave him a quick kiss on the side of his head, buried in his hair, as Ray washed the dirty dishes before he took himself to his room. Tala wasn't far behind Kai, bidding Ray a goodnight and another kiss on the lips; their usual for all three before he retired to his own room and left Ray there in the kitchen.

He fought back the tears best he could, even if he had his own life outside of their relationship he would be lying if he said he wasn't lonely every time they were gone. He missed them, constantly worried about them. Sometimes he went days without hearing from them and he was never one to stand over their shoulders, begging to be seen or heard. He lost countless nights of sleep over it, but there wasn't anything he could really do aside from expressing a breath of relief when they called him the second they got a chance to.

Over the running water in the sink his ears perked at the soft shuffling upstairs, checking the time on the stove he sighed and probably knew Kai had went in there before he went to bed.

Out of the top cupboard he grabbed the formula and bottles, measuring it all out as the dishwasher started to kick up behind him to do the manual labor as he went upstairs to the nursery.

"Hey little one." Ray cooed as he was met with big round crimson eyes over the top of the railing, getting a two teethed smile that melted his heart.

He pulled the babe from the crib gently, the little boy immediately curling into his neck as he sucked his thumb while Ray went to the rocker that sat in the corner of the room.

"Daddy wake you up?" Ray chuckled lightly, shifting the seven month old in his arms so he could feed him.

His little boy took the bottle instantly, his crimson eyes locking on Ray's as he started to gently rock him. Praying that he could get the baby back to sleep so the other two could get some rest, his son wasn't much of a fusser but he still had his moments.

They knew this, Ray had told them what could happen and they had shrugged their shoulders at it. Ray was skeptical at first that either had believed him at all until it happened, they weren't entirely sure whose it was until the child was born via C-section seven months ago and it came out almost the spitting image of Kai.

Ray had been scared for a while, over the course of the pregnancy Kai seemed more distant than he usually was. It left Ray feeling like he had made a mistake, but then again he had told them both what the risks were without protection and Kai never used any.

When they brought their son home, expanding the household, Kai finally seemed to come around to the idea. He was a father and he took that role, like any role he was ever given in his life, seriously. Even if he wasn't home often he was still there for his son as much as possible, just like he was for the two lovers in his life. It was a lot to juggle but he took it in stride and with a pride in his heart.

After another hour had gone by and the baby was back asleep with a belly full and a clean diaper, Ray flicked off the lights of the room and cracked the door as he made his way down the hall to his own room. That was the odd thing, out of everything that had already happened the past three years, was they each had a room to themselves.

If one or both wanted something from the other they just knocked, if they got the go ahead they went in if not they turned around and went back to their own room. The doors were like their own personal barrier, something that had been treated as sacred and welcoming and neither of them dared intrude without knocking. The only door that was ever opened was the nursery, for obvious reasons.

Tonight he left his own door cracked, it was open in case one or both wanted to come see him. He didn't care what they wanted, he had missed them, but he wasn't going to go bother either one of them since they had just gotten home and looked tired. Normally it was Tala that came into see him and just lay with him, as he had settled down into the sheets it wasn't Tala's scent that drifted through the room as the bed dipped down behind him.

"He's gotten so big." Kai mused into Ray's hair, causing the neko-jin to smile and press his back closer into Kai's chest.

"He's being a real handful lately with teething." Ray sighed and could feel Kai smirk into his hair.

"Bite the daycare worker again?" Kai chuckled quietly behind him.

"He did, actually." Ray chuckled back and then shifted around in Kai's arms to face him.

Despite loving them both, opening himself up to both of them. He and Kai had a stronger bond, even without their child they still would have had it. They knew each other, had practically grown up with one another as a team for five years before the team split up and Kai left to move back to Russia.

They still talked with the odd phone call or e-mail, that was how Ray eventually got roped into where he currently was.

Kai had told him he and Tala were dating, Ray's heart had clenched but he was happy for the two of them. Then there was the reunion three years ago, prompting the three of them along with all the other bladers they had ever crossed paths with to meet again.

All three of them had one too many drinks, and somehow Ray had found himself waking up between them. They reassured him that it was fine, that if he wanted to do it again just to call them up and he did a month later.

"What's wrong?" Kai asked, leaning back just enough he could brush Ray's bangs away from his face.
"I just missed you guys; it gets lonely here without you two around."

Kai smirked a little at him, Ray was always a people person. He did better with crowds, with someone around to talk to. How they ended up with him, being as distant and closed off as they were, was beyond Kai but he wouldn't have had it any other way.

Tala had been the breath in him but Ray was the life that gave him the reason to keep living. Without either of them, he didn't know where he would be. His son was the extra neither really expected, much less truly wanted, but even after now he still would have done it all over again. He wasn't raised to love but somehow he had found it, vowed to protect it and that was why Ray couldn't come. Couldn't know.

"I know, I promise we'll take a vacation here soon."

Ray sighed heavily, curling tighter into Kai's chest where he felt safe and secure in his arms. "Promise?"

Kai chuckled quietly, fighting with keeping his eyes open as he buried his face in Ray's hair again. "I just did."

"Yeah I know, but really promise me."

Kai kissed him on the top of the head through his hair, something he relished in doing. "I promise."

Ray smiled against Kai's neck before he placed a gentle kiss on it, "I've really missed you." He purred quietly, getting the reaction he wanted from the older male instantly by the soft groan coming from his closed lips.

"I would, but I'm tired babe." Kai breathed out heavily but didn't move away from him.

"I'll be gentle." Ray purred harder against him, leaning into Kai hard enough it got him onto his back. "Unless Tala took too much from you while you were gone."

Kai arched a brow up at him as he settled down on his waist, putting his firm hands over Ray's hips.

"Is that jealousy I hear?"

Ray shrugged his shoulders, "You two are always gone, I can't help it." He pouted.

"I know." Was all Kai could give him, he didn't like leaving him alone or in the dark but it was for the better.

"If you really don't want it I'll just go to Tala." Ray said as he started shuffling his way down Kai's legs.

It would have looked like he was leaving, if it weren't for the way he was teasingly pawing at Kai's legs as he went or the way his ass had lifted slightly in the air or the kisses he had trailed down Kai's clothed chest and stomach.

"You won't have to go far." Tala's smooth, amused, voice came from the doorway where he was leant against it with his side and watching the show with a smirk.

"Did I hear you right there Kit, you're jealous of me?" He asked as he strode into the room, closing the door behind him as he stepped up to the end of the bed.

Ray smirked a little, only Kai saw it, before he sat back up on Kai's lower legs and titled his head back where he met Tala's icy-blue eyes. Already seeing the game plan running through his head. If he wasn't so used to this his nerves would have been shot, his heart trying to break free but all he felt was relieved that he got to have both of them for the night.

"I might be." Ray said in a teasing tone, giving Tala an upside down fanged smirk that got wiped off the second Tala had grabbed him around the neck and kissed him hard. His fingers pressing just hard enough into the tan flesh that it cut his air off that much quicker.

Kai had said he was tired, he felt it down to his soul but the sight being given to him on his legs was enough to wake him up. It was a dirty little trick, they knew what they were doing, and it worked.

Slowly he sat up, listening to Ray and Tala moan as clearly one or the other slipped in a bit of tongue into the kiss. His own hands going to the front of Ray's shirt and slipping his warm hands up under the fabric, teasing the tan skin with barely-there-touches till each palm rested over his breasts. Ray had flinched and breathed heavier into the kiss he and Tala were still locked in, his hands going out to push Kai's into his chest harder where he felt the heat radiating from his skin.

Somehow they always knew how to work together around him, even if their eyes were closed and the other's mouth was latched onto a piece of skin. The moment Kai had shifted Ray's shirt higher up Tala's hands had gone from Ray's neck to it and lifted it off of him. Giving Ray time to breathe now that the air could come back into him, only to gasp out and his head to rest back into Tala's shoulder as both sides of his neck were assaulted by different mouths and teeth and tongues.

One hand went behind him to cradle the back of Tala's head, the other around Kai's and fisting the different colored hair on their heads. Tala's hand slipped between his and Kai's body like a slithering snake, sending chills running through him as Kai sucked his neck harder until they had worked it enough that his neck was pulsing and twitching in pleasurable painful throbs.

With Kai in front of him he went to working the buttons of his shirt off, his ears perking as Tala was doing the same to his own shirt; clearly neither wasting time in getting this started and done.

Kai leaned into him, filling Ray's mouth and senses with his scent and taste that blended with Tala's that had been left behind from their kissing. The wrap at the back of his neck was being lifted, Tala's long fingers gracefully unclasping it and setting his long hair free from within it's binding. A purr shook through him as Tala's fingers ran through the dark, loose, locks with care and affection that he had never thought possible upon their first meeting eight years ago.

It would always surprise him, comfort him when he needed it, how gentle they could be with him and how he could feel the love they shared through such simple caresses and kisses.

There was enough downtime that the rest of the restricting clothes could be removed, their pants they worked off themselves. Through the slight pause and change of pace Ray finally caught sight of a small, closed, wound on the rounded part of Kai's left shoulder.

"What happened?" He asked, reaching out and touching it gently with the tips of his fingers.

"Clipped the corner of a wall." Kai said, eyeing Tala behind Ray's head that had rolled his eyes at his excuse.

Ray didn't look fooled, reaching up and brushing back Kai's thick slate colored bangs as if he was on the hunt for more wounds. There was one that was new. A thin, almost invisible, line that ran from the lower corner of his right eye and into his hairline.

"And this?" Ray asked in a sigh.

It was often that when the two left one or the other came back with mysterious bruises or cuts, they would always give him the explanation of a door or a wall or that they got pushed in a crowd. The more and more they kept up with the stupid excuses the more worried he got. If it had been someone other than these two, telling him they were wounded by their own clumsiness, he would have believed them a bit better but not even his imagination could conjure up the truth.

"I'm fine." Kai sighed back, taking his wrist gently and pulling Ray's hand away from the side of his head to stop the inspection.

Ray still didn't look like he believed him but trying to pry would deprive them all of what they were in there for to begin with.

"Okay."

Kai smiled a little, leaning back into him and kissing him gently as he lowered Ray onto his back. Tala smirked down at the two, tapping Kai on the shoulder to grab his attention before he got left out of the fun. Kai sat back on his knees, Tala tossing him the bottle of lube he had grabbed from the stash in Ray's dresser earlier when they had undressed.

Kai coated his fingers as Tala took over kissing Ray, knowing he always needed the distraction before being worked. He got on his knees, reaching just high enough that he hovered over him on the bed to kiss him. The two getting lost in it, Ray grateful for the distraction as the first pulse of a burn made itself known as Kai's fingers sunk into his body.

Ray flinched, his fingers gripping above him into Tala's fiery red hair as his tongue delved into Tala's mouth. Tala's hands held either side of Ray's head back, gently caressing his hair and scalp until he felt him relax through the thrusting of Kai's fingers inside him. Then it got harder, Tala took over the kissing and Kai got more into prodding his ass in every way he liked. He would have cried out if he had the strength to do so, all he could do was tremble and writhe under the two of them.

Left panting and already sore from the waist down as Kai pulled his fingers out of him, stretching him enough that he could get in there like they both wanted. Tala stood up after kissing him through it, shifting over him as Ray opened his mouth in waiting.

As his senses were assaulted by the mix of their scent, their sweat, and the pheromones filling the room Ray was getting light headed through it all. It was like this most of the time, they were gentle at first until they got into it and he was left a mess on one of their chests and trying to remember his name. This was different though; they were going rough at the start and what that meant for the aftermath he didn't know but it excited him in a way it never had before.

Two sets of different, calloused, hands gripped and groped at his body in all the right places. Bruises were left in lines on his neck down his shoulders, and somehow he had found himself on his back with his head off the end of the bed and Tala still standing over him with his cock in his mouth.

Kai was left between his legs on his knees, bending him so far back he was surprised he hadn't snapped in half. Tala was balanced over him, pushing his cock farther into his throat as he moved his hips in a firm but gentle pace. Being aware of the damage he could cause his kitten if he was too rough at the angle they had placed him into, but he wanted to kiss the other over the top of him.

Ray's arms were hooked, secured, around the back of Tala's ass with his nails digging into the pale flesh with every new thrust at one end of his body. The fog in his head was too great that all he felt was the sway of his body with a new thrust, the moans raining from above him adding fuel to their fire.

Tala dominated the kiss he had found himself in with Kai, his tongue moving roughly around his mouth over his teeth and the insides of his cheeks. Licking up the taste of him, groaning louder through his throat and gripping Ray's chest where he had put his hands to steady himself.

Kai had been thrusting in an overbearing pace, the bed having been rocking with each movement as he drilled himself into Ray's ass until he had to slow down to return the feverish kiss Tala had initiated. His own senses being clouded by the two of them, the twist in his stomach not going unnoticed that he was grateful for the slower pace he was forced to get into.

Between the cardinal need and want, there was also the love being poured out through the three of them. A silent bond that tied them together in a way no one would ever truly understand, a bond tight enough that either one would lay their life down for the other.

The knot in Ray's stomach got to the point it hurt, the angle Kai had been hitting and rubbing his prostate that his orgasm was the first to hit and wash through him. A gurgled moan broke through his mouthful, his body left laying to twitch between the two as they smirked into the kiss before pulling away from each other and him.

Ray panted; the fog so dense in his head that he didn't register the switch around him. The way Kai had slipped out of him only to be replaced by Tala, turned around on the bed where now his feet hung off the end and Tala between his legs and slightly elevated hips and his face between Kai's legs.

Without hesitation, without waiting for either to gain enough air into their lungs, they went back into it. Tala roughly dragging Ray's ass into his hips and sinking his cock in as far as it would go as Ray took Kai's cock into his mouth roughly.

Kai's head went back with a moan, even if Ray was coming down from his high that didn't stop him working him the way he knew Kai liked. Getting his loose hair fisted in his hands, pulled and tugged in different directions by the hands coming in front of him and behind him.

With every drag and push back his own cock, that had been trapped between him and the bed, was getting rubbed off. The intensity of it all again washing through him like a boiling wave of water crashing through him. The moans coming from the man in front and behind him only intensifying as Tala drove himself back in as far as he could reach, Ray opening his throat to take Kai in as far as he could reach.

The bed rocked harder, the fingers gripped tighter and the sucking got more rigorous as the cock in his ass kept ramming in and out of him to the point it felt like he was being ripped in two. How he was going to stand, much less sit the next day was beyond him. Let alone talk any now that either end of him was sore to a point he had never felt before. What had gotten into the other two was just as a mystery as it had been since the whole thing started, but he had been to preoccupied to ask or care all that much.

Like a blessing the three hit their peak, the bed and Ray's stomach getting soaked with his release as his mouth filled with Kai's and his ass with Tala's. It took a minute before Tala pulled out of him and laid over him, a hand on his side against the bed and propping him over the top of him, and the other lifting his chin back up to take what was in his mouth.

Ray gave it away willingly, their tongues brushing and mixing their saliva and Kai's cum before Tala pulled away with a slight pop. Ray could hardly breathe as it was when Kai sat up and snatched the rest off his lips hungrily, getting a hard vibrating purr to ripple through Ray's body.

The two that were better put together helped clean him up, always taking care of the one that was left spent and worn from the activities like they were a delicate flower. Always taking care of themselves last before they found themselves surrounded by each other, arms draped around carelessly only to pull away somewhere during the night as one or another would turn in their sleep.


Crimson eyes opened at four in the morning, Ray asleep on his left and curled on his side with his back facing him. As he rolled his head to the other side he was met with icy-blue that were wide open and awake. There was a silent communication between them, Tala seeing it and silently rolled himself off the other end without disturbing the bed too much. Kai followed after him just as quietly, stiffening as Ray shifted once his warmth had left his side and relaxed when Ray's body did.

Tala and Kai waited for a second more, just to make sure he wouldn't wake up before Tala grabbed up their discarded clothes and stepped out of Ray's room and down the hall where Kai's room sat.

"We need to tell him." Tala said as he pulled his shirt over his arms and left it open, getting his pants on as Kai opened his door and stepped inside to lead the way now.

"I don't see the point in telling him." Kai said, tossing the clothes in his arms to the side as he went for his dresser on the other end of the large room.

Out of them all Kai had the master room, as it was his home. They each had decent sized rooms, with their own bathrooms, but Kai's was the biggest and more spacious of the five in the home.

"The point here is that it hurts not just me, but you, having to hide this from him." Tala said as he rolled his eyes at the back of Kai's head, hands on his hips.

"Think about Kain, maybe it's time we retired." Tala said a bit more gently, stepping up to Kai now that he had gone quiet the second his sons name came from Tala's mouth.

Tala slipped an arm around Kai's shoulders, pulling him back into his chest as he kissed the side of his face. "At least consider it here, once this job is done."

Kai nodded slowly; he had considered it thousands of times. Not just for his and Tala's safety but that if something happened to one or both of them it left Ray alone with a child and his son without the other parent.

"We need to finish this mission, that's what's important right now." Kai said after a minute of silence.

Tala huffed and pulled away from him, clearly not liking that idea but he had no room to voice his opposition to Kai's decision. He was the leader now between them, what he said went and it made Tala feel like his hands were being forced behind his back.

"Alright, what time do we leave tomorrow then?"

"We're leaving now." Kai informed, shutting his dresser now that he had the clothes he wanted from inside the drawers.

"Are you serious?"

"He's still out there Tala, unless you want headquarters to be up both our asses, and not in a good way, then yes. We're going back out there tonight." Kai said firmly, turning his eyes to lock on with Tala's almost heatedly.

Tala lifted his hands and stepped back from him, "Alright." He conceded and kept walking away from him backwards until he reached the middle of the room and left to go to his own room and pack.

Kai watched him go for a minute quietly, he didn't want to go as soon as he got back and not in the middle of the night like this either. He knew Ray would freak out, worry about them like he always did, but this in the end would benefit them all. It had to be done.

Dressed and more put together with a small black duffle bag at his side he went into the nursery, brushing back his son's tuft of dark hair fondly and gently enough it wouldn't wake him. This was the worst part of leaving, not just having to keep Ray in the dark about what kind of life he and Tala actually led but knowing that every time he came in here it might be his last.

Even with his reservations of being a father at first it had grown on him, he loved his son with all he had despite hardly being around to see him grow up. In the blink of an eye he knew he was going to lose every milestone, the guilt he felt for leaving Ray to do it on his own was crushing him until he reminded himself that it was for their safety.

One day, he hoped, that they would understand. That they knew he had put them above anything else and forgive him if never made it back home.

"You ready?" Tala asked quietly outside the nursery, trying hard not to smile at the big sap staring down at his son fast asleep and oblivious to the cruel world he had been born into.

"Yeah…" Kai nodded, pulling his hand away from Kain's head and stepped away quietly.

Tala nodded, biting back the slight twist of jealousy he always felt when it came to the extra branch that had spread across their family tree. There was a point in time that could have been his child, neither of them were sure at the time but Ray had been sure Tala had more promise of being the father than Kai did at the time up until he lost it. The loss had hit them all hard, Ray the hardest and he still carried that weight around even two years later even if he had his and Kai's child now.

It was always something Tala wanted, to be a father, and slightly he hoped that when they got back from this it could finally happen for him. Make the branch that spilled off to the side curve around and meet in the middle, make what they now had that much bigger and better between them all.

The two slipped out quietly into the first morning rays of the sun, climbing into the blacked out car that had pulled up at the drive after tossing their bags in the trunk. The car driving off down the road into the distance until it was no longer visible from the front door of their home, feeling the distance within their chests as what they were saying goodbye to and had hopes of returning to. Their fingers laced together between them.
