CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR ASIDE: Ménage a Trois
The Wicklow Mountains (southeast Ireland)
Sunday, October 29, 2000 (night) to Monday, October 30, 2000 (morning)
With magic, Will expanded the cot and he and Su knelt at the foot of it within full view of Jeremy, gently taking those first, hesitant steps towards beginning a relationship together.
He kissed her for a long time, discovering her genuine desire with every taste, both taking and giving as their mouths melded, pulled apart, and came together again. To his surprise, she calmed his performance anxiety, slowing them down by lingering a little longer with each pass, teaching him the patience he needed to take things at a comfortable pace. She surrendered to him as willingly as he did to her, and he intuitively understood that her reasons were the same as his: they were both drawn to the piece of Jeremy that the other held deep within them – he as the man's best friend and lover, she as his kindred and trustworthy confidant - wanting to know that side of the man they shared a love for, and discovering each other in the process.
To his amazement, there was no rush, no fear, and no tearing guilt or doubt. This felt right. It felt good.
When Will removed her jumper and unlatched her bra, slipping the straps from her shoulders and tossing it away, he revealed her breasts. They were as beautiful as he'd anticipated – high, tight, small-ish with dusty rose-colored nipples. They tempted him and he moved on instinct, bending his head and taking them one at a time into his mouth, suckling with reverence, finding joy in this slow learning of her body.
Foreplay was a new thing for him. Sex had always been rushed when he'd been with a girl in the past, and he'd always felt inept in any action other than pounding away. Sheltered within the screen of high grasses at Kirkwall, Jeremy had begun his instruction in how to be a good lover; he'd taught him how to give proper attention to a man. Now, in a small tent at Wicklow, Su would teach him the technique for competently pleasuring a woman. He would learn all he ever needed to know about love and sex from his two Vampire mates. It was perfect.
He dropped his mental shields and opened his mind to Jeremy and let him hear his thoughts. His mate smiled through tears of joy. This is all I could have ever wanted for us, Will.
"More," Su pleaded, her fingers threading through his hair as she arched into his greedy lips and rasping tongue, and she gasped with pleasure. As he lathed each tiny bud, flicking it, feeling the tautness in each ripe nipple, her deep, husky moans filled the tent, stirring up the heat in his blood until it rioted into a maelstrom of need. He laid her back into the cot, following her down, his seal upon her breast firm as he gently bit down and left an imprint of his teeth around her areola. The Vampiress hissed with approval as he soothed the sting with light caresses, then he bent to similarly mark the other side to match. That done, he trailed his lips over the delicate bones of her collar, up her throat, bit over the spot he knew Jeremy had taken blood from the night before. The wound had healed over, but from her shiver and moan, he knew it to be still sensitive.
Throughout it all, that 'other' within Will's consciousness watched the proceedings from behind his eyes, the pressure of its presence there but no longer painful. It was as if he and the thing he shared his body with were finally coming together – as if the two halves of his soul were no longer fighting, but beginning to resonate with Will's capitulation to the mating. It learned alongside him as he sampled every inch of Su's skin, and even purred in acceptance when he slowly removed her trainers and jeans to bare her to his view. When her knickers were taken down and her untamed thatch revealed, the 'it' inside intently stared, noting each wiry, jet black hair as it lay curled about her lower lips. Will's heart tripled in speed, and his mouth began to salivate as he considered what he wanted to do to her. Clearly, his golden-eyed 'friend' had no objections to those ideas, and in fact, seemed eager to put them all into play knowing that Will had decided upon making Su his as well. He felt its mental nudge to get on with it already.
He glanced sideways at Jeremy, noting that his first mate was thoroughly enchanted by the scene unfolding before him; his cock was a fully-erect, jutting rod between his crossed legs. He made no move to satiate his need, however, too enamored of watching his best friends find pleasure in each other.
Watch me make her mine, Will commanded his male lover as he bent his head between Su's thighs and licked with pressure straight up the seam of her silken pussy. Her supple legs shook as she cried out and arched her spine with bliss. "Oooh, yes, Willem! Know me," she begged, and the second lick was softer, tentative, ghosting over her wet flesh in a barely-there caress. The third was a bolder, broad sweeping taste across the whole of her labia, and the fourth, a little grazing contact outlining her clit, using only the tip of his tongue. With each diving lap into her slick, creamy entrance, he inextricably addicted himself to Su's flavor and scent, even as he learned how to orally pleasure his female.
At her coaxing, he gently pierced her with a finger, rhythmically teasing in and out of the hot, slick depths of her cunt while kissing and suckling upon her small, pink clitoris. Carefully, he teased the upper lip on the inside, where the flesh was textured, and Su shuddered, loudly moaning and tightening up about him. "Yes, there! Don't stop," she pleaded, her fingernails scraping through his hair and against his scalp, causing little sparks of desire to shoot down his spine. He rubbed the special spot in circles, teased it with the tip of his nail, and crooked his finger over it, varying pressures and speeds as he determined what best excited her.
Very soon, her hips began a small rocking motion that matched the cadence of his fingering, and her lower muscles tightened around him. Her moans grew louder. Skimming his free hand up her satiny body, he blindly reached and found a breast, and pinched the nipple. Su gasped, her muscles of her vagina throbbed around him as, and with a cry of his name, she plunged over the edge of rapture and came for him. Will stilled with his finger in her, feeling her clench and ripple. He broke out in a sweat; need arced like electricity through his body, centering on his arousal.
Feeling particularly proud that he'd mastered this skill and brought his new lover pleasure, he slowly withdrew his hand once her tremors ceased and shakily gripped his cock, rubbing her release up and down the painfully hard shaft. Licking her slightly quivering pussy, he drank up her dewy, sweet essence, cleaning her even as he kept himself on the edge, hard and straining.
Looking up the line of her curvy, lightly perspiring body, noting the flush of her blood through her breasts, up her neck and into her pale cheeks, Will met Su's dark gaze. "Mate me tonight," he requested with a final kiss to her clit, crawling up and over her to hover his mouth over her own. "I want you to give me your Jouisseur," he murmured against her plump, red lips, stroking his fingers over her belly, sliding up her ribs to cup her breast and gently pinch the nipple again.
Su's eyes flared and her small body trembled. "But Jeremy-'
He silenced her counter by dropping his mouth to hers, twining their tongues around in a writhing dance, pulling back only when she'd relaxed into the kiss. "If both of you share the same mate, you should be able to mate each other," he explained the theory that had been knocking around inside his head all day.
The half-Vampiress' dark gaze widened with understanding. "Splitting you with Jeremy will allow me to mark him afterwards as mine? Do you truly believe that our auras will then harmonize together, closing the mating circle and bonding the three of us together?"
Running his fingers over her soft skin, he nodded and lowered his hips to hers until their naked bellies touched and his rigid, straining erection pressed into her flesh. "Yeah, I think it will work. It sounds like it should. Do you want to take the chance, though?"
Her throat convulsed on a nervous swallow. "Yes. It is worth any risk to have Jeremy for my mate. And I will have you, as well, whom he loves as no other. It is an excellent solution." Her soft fingertips stroked over the pulse of his neck where Jeremy had bit him almost two months ago. "Do you truly wish me to bite and mate you, though? If this fails, your bond to Jeremy may sever completely and you will be mine instead. I am an Eastern Vampire. The ties that will bind us will be different, possibly even more invasive than Western Vampire bonding. I am not sure of the outcome."
Will glided a hand down her side and around, gripping her arse and pulling her up to angle his penis between her smooth, moist folds as he leaned all his weight on the other palm. "I decided last night that I'd do whatever it takes to keep him. And I'll get you at the same time if it goes right, so yeah, I want this." He glanced over at Jeremy, noting the lust in his lover's eyes. "Do you want this?"
His mate's breath came out in heavy pants, and it was clear he was so turned on by what he was seeing that there would be no doubt as to his answer. He spoke his desires to both of them. "Yes. Fuck her. Mate him."
Su's head had turned as well, and she focused on the man she loved. "For us."
He nodded to her. "Enjoy him." Focusing on Will again, he smiled. "Make her yours."
Given permission, Will turned all his attention on the willing female beneath him, aware as she reached between them and lined up his shaft with her opening, that there would be absolutely no going back from this point on. They'd all agreed to take this step and to accept the consequences. It was all or nothing now – win or bust, as his Jeremy would say.
X~X
With a tilt of his hips and a bit of applied pressure, Will slowly penetrated Su's slick, tight sheath, inching through the soused layers of flesh. It hurt – oh, did it hurt! He was so thick and hard, and although he moved with care, he opened her up and stretched her out with his considerable girth, filling her to the point of pain. Biting her bottom lip, she slid her arms about his broad, firm shoulders, reaching up in a silent plea to be held.
The truth was that she was terrified of what they were doing. Not from this physical act, for she had been in The Madam's House for almost two years and been forced many times to allow a man to touch her. No, it was the emotional investment. Under Phaedra's roof, she had been able to divorce her mind from the feelings that came with the sexual act. This time, however, there was a connection – a strong one with Jeremy, and a tentative one for Will that she knew would only grow if she allowed it. Once the three of them became as one flesh, heart and mind, she would become the one thing her father had tried to instill within her never to be: truly vulnerable. Her lovers would know all her darkest fears and memories. Her long life would be laid out before them for their interrogation. There would be no hiding from them ever.
Her gathered courage could not stop the whimper that escaped her lips as she tried to accept how utterly exposed she would become. She, the stealer of men's secrets would lose all of hers in one night. The irony was not lost upon her.
Hold me close, she begged Willem, using their connection from her blood-drinking to establish mental contact with him again, as she had last night.
Shifting and dropping his weight to his elbow, he cradled her to his chest with one arm, while the other pulled her bottom up into him to provide the perfect angle for him to gently thrust. That action caused her hymen to tear as he slid deeper into her, and Su gasped into his neck from the sharp pain, digging her nails into his shoulders.
"Shhh, sweetheart," he whispered in her ear, stilling a moment to give her time to adjust. "I've got you."
They held completely still for a few heartbeats before he continued his slow slide deeper into her channel. Sealing their pelvises together, buried within her to the hilt, he finally stopped. "Okay?"
In the curve of his throat, she nodded. Through the thin layer of skin over his pulse, she could feel and hear his blood pumping out an accelerated rhythm. It enticed her, making her gums hot and achy. Her Vampirius was startled awake by the lure. Behind her eyes, she felt its interest as it threw off its lethargy and focused on the temptation offered.
When he began to move, carefully easing out of her only to glide back in with long, complete strokes, Su's blood stirred. The pain subsided as lust enflamed her senses. "Yes," she hissed against his ear as he groaned into her hair and tightened his grip on her buttocks, pulling her even higher to meet his incrementally increasing thrusts. "Deeper," she begged, wanting to feel every bit of him come into her again and again. He obeyed, his pace maintaining even as he angled them to assure her maximum pleasure by plunging every luscious inch of his cock into her.
His breath blasted across her shoulder as he pounded into her with a beautiful grace she hadn't realized him capable of giving, and his hips flexed and snapped with each surge. "Su," he growled against her ear. "It feels too good. I'm going to come really soon. Mate me - now."
His provocative words flared across her senses, causing her body to tighten up and prepare to go over, jarring the Vampire in her fully awake.
Baeuja, it sighed in pleasure, recognizing Will's new place in her life as both 'mate' and 'spouse' – and instinctively knowing what must happen next to make such a connection permanent. Prompting the mating aphrodisiac to spill through the glands in her mouth, the chemical saturated her tongue with its tangy flavor. In turn, her canines were triggered to come down.
Nuzzling Will's pulse to find the perfect spot, with a quick strike, she punctured his skin through to the vein, latching on and going deep. As she greedily drunk up her lover's thick, hot, sweet blood, she simultaneously swept her tongue over and around her teeth, saturating the area with her unique aphrodisiac - for the first time giving someone her Jouisseur. With magic and blood and sex, she bound Will to her for always, feeling her aura realign to his, sensing the mark of another Vampire upon the man she'd claimed. To her immense relief, her shifting magical energies simply incorporated Jeremy's mating claim as part of Will's natural aura, just as Bradley had hypothesized.
Against her, Will shuddered, gave a loud moan and increased his pace, slamming into her as the fire within his veins boiled over. Within seconds, it flared between them, destroying whatever tentative control the two of them had managed to hold onto. "God, yes!" he shouted as he felt her Jouisseur take a hold of him. He pounded into her, unintentionally forcing her to close the wound at his throat with a swipe of her tongue and to remove her teeth from his person before she accidentally tore his flesh. He actually whined with each exhaled breath from the ecstasy he was experiencing as he drove them over the edge together. "Su… come! Let go!" he begged against her lips as he pressed his forehead to hers.
The combination of his addicting blood, of taking a mate finally, of having her body hum and vibrate with a pleasure she'd never dreamed she'd experience as the mating took a firm hold of her, too, brought her in a blinding shower of light and feeling. "Willem!" she screamed and clung to him as her orgasm slammed through her in a cyclonic rush, turning her soul inside out. She burst into tears at its intense beauty, even as it filled her with a joy and peace that was unmatched by any experience she'd ever known.
Vaguely, she was aware of Will's matching cry and a warm, flooding rush between her legs as her mate came into her, of his hips pumping with fervor even after the first flowing release, letting up only when he'd thoroughly sated himself. She tasted his mouth as it claimed hers again, and felt their rapid breaths and pounding hearts synching up as they floated down from Heaven together. She embraced his comforting presence in her mind and soul, and tugged experimentally on the magical chain that now connected their hearts to assure its hold…
…and unintentionally discovered her lover's secret - the reason Jeremy's Vampire had been on edge for so many weeks, changing its very nature.
Willem Bradley was not fully human.
A powerful, foreign presence within his mind reached out and mentally touched her, seemingly as curious of her as she was of it, and she knew in the moment of their first magical caress that this was something separate – and powerful - that shared its life with Will, just as her Vampire did with her and Jeremy's did with him. What it was, however, she did not know. She had never encountered anything like it in all her long years. It seemed strangely familiar, but not quite enough for her to make any solid connections with what she knew.
Opening her eyes, she glanced up at her mate. Looming over her, Will stared back. His irises were no longer the blue of the sky. Instead, they were golden and shimmered like molten metal with the shifting shadows.
Swallowing to wet her suddenly dry mouth, she sucked in a sharp breath and shakily let it out. "What… are you?"
Ever so softly, Will brushed the tears from her cheeks and threw her a peculiar, questioning look. "Yours," he murmured. "Aren't I?"
Hesitantly, Su nodded, watchful and weary. "Yes, you are mine, but that is not-"
Before she could finish, Jeremy cut her off, noting the change in their mate as well. "Will?" He shifted, sitting up in concern and the cot was jarred by his weight.
The blond blinked, and in that moment, the color bled back to normal. He glanced up and over to focus on the man they both loved.
Against her inner thigh, she felt Willem's softening length harden to steel once more. He licked his lips twice before stretching and holding out his hand. "Come here," he bid Jeremy in a low, seductive tone. "Come to us."
As if drawn by the promise in Will's lust-filled eyes, Jeremy crawled down the cot towards them. Hesitantly, he reached up and linked fingers with his lover, and a shudder and sigh of relief relaxed his shoulders. Without releasing his grip, Will sat up on his knees, gathering Su in his free arm and pulling her up with him. He tugged Jeremy closer until they were crowded together.
"Kiss me," he whispered and leaned his head towards his cheotsarang – his first love.
Su watched with greedy desire as her new mate very cautiously met Jeremy's mouth with his own trembling lips. It was the softest, most loving kiss she'd ever seen two people share. It was beautiful and filled with so much longing and relief.
When they pulled back, Will stared with earnest need into Jeremy's face. "You have to mate each other now. Then we can all be together." He guided their entwined hands towards her, allowing them to break apart just as they touched her arm. Placing the flat of Jeremy's palm upon her skin, he directed his male lover to take Su into his arms. "Enjoy him," Will encouraged her as she shifted off his lap and into the embrace of the man she'd waited years to have. "Make her yours," he whispered to Jeremy and pressed a quick kiss on both of their cheeks.
With that, her mate let her go, sitting back and taking his turn as voyeur.
Behind her breast, Su's heart picked up its paces and she felt her face flush as her eyes met those spring-green depths she had fallen into so many times before. Jeremy shyly smiled at her, and she returned the gesture. He seated her across the width of his thighs, and pulled her in tight, resting his taut, damp length against her belly.
"I'll go first, if you want," he offered, and it was clear he meant the order in which they would drink from each other, sharing the Jouisseur.
She eagerly nodded. To feel his bite again, coupled with his aphrodisiac this time… Her belly and thighs quaked with excitement for what was to come, and within her heart, she rejoiced: here was her dream come true.
X~X
Jeremy's nostrils lightly flared as he inhaled, scenting the heady, combined essences of his two lovers perfuming the air. It was light, sweet jasmine and fresh rain - and wholly seductive, pulling him in, pulling him under until he was drowning in it. An uncontrollable rumble of approval and need escaped his chest and his mouth watered. Upon his tongue, he tasted the sweet tang of aphrodisiac. The bonding between Su and Will had worked, and now his body recognized and responded to her as it would to his mate. He would be able to give her his Jouisseur.
With a tender swipe, he moved Su's long, soft hair over her shoulder, baring her lily white throat. Tracing over the skin with light caresses, he stroked over the spots he'd bitten the night before, knowing the areas would be extra sensitive. "Jeremy," she sighed with longing, arching into him. The taut points of her nipples rasped against his chest, causing a throbbing ache to begin between his legs. His cock was a length of firm steel, swollen impossibly hard with his need. With a rhythmic tilting of his hips, it slid between her soft, wet folds, not entering her yet, just clipping her engorged clit. She shuddered in his arms.
He bent his head to kiss her red, swollen lips, tasting the sweet-coppery flavor of Will's blood lingering upon them. "Su," he whispered in longing as their tongues met, stroked, briefly entwined. "You're so beautiful - so amazing. That you're doing this for us… binding yourself to us…"
"I would give you all, Jeremy. I love you," she sighed against his lips, her arms wrapping about him and throwing herself into the kiss. "Claim me as yours, baeuja – mate."
Tilting her head, he moved over her throat, finding his spot, feeling his canines elongate. The split gums bled, but healed quickly with a swipe of his tongue over them. Lapping over the area on her neck, he tasted the aphrodisiac already flooding his mouth and struck, pressing hard into the wound and licking and sucking, swallowing, giving her the mate mark even as his shaft thrust up into her slick, creamy pussy.
Tossing her face to the sky, Su cried out and dug her nails into his upper arms. The slight pain electrified his pleasure all the more, sending his senses reeling as his cock flexed through her tightly clenching channel until it could go no further. Buried deep within her, Jeremy stilled to enjoy the sensation of the Jouisseur flowing from his mouth into her.
Within seconds, the hot flush that accompanied his aura attuning to hers sped through his body, stimulating every nerve, causing flashes of color to dance behind his closed eyelids. As had happened when he'd marked Will, the wall of his mental defenses fell, and he was completely open and vulnerable to Su. It was in that moment that she marked him back, biting deep, pressing her Jouisseur upon him.
Fire and ice travelled the length of his spine, centering in his loins, making him incredibly sensitive. His dick burned for completion, causing him to whimper and shake with the desire. As the completed mating took hold, the vaults of his heart opened easily before his lover's mysterious powers, and the secrets of his life were completely exposed for Su.
His Vampire, clearly uncomfortable with being so open and defenseless, mentally rose up from the depths of his mind, baring fangs. Her Vampire – the fine nuances of its magic puzzlingly strange to Jeremy, but feeling similar enough to recognize as Kindred - met his head-on. It was a clash of angry, greedy desire between them as they 'touched' and took what they could from the other, learning the differences between them. Like two animals locked in combat, they held tight and looked for a weakness to exploit.
In an unexpected move, Su's bestial side unexpectedly gave up, submitting to his Vampirius' greater strength. Just as it had the day they'd first met at Kirkwall, his vile disease immediately lost its aggression, pleased with its conquest. It even purred with delight inside his head.
Ourssssss, it hissed, magically nuzzling her Vampire.
Yours, she reassured it, surprising Jeremy by directly speaking to the monster in his head. To prove her intentions, she licked the wound in his throat closed, but continued to offer up her own life's blood without restriction for him and his Vampire to take as they pleased. In that moment, he understood the depth of her feelings for him: he could literally drain her – kill her – if he wished, and she would not stop him. That, it seemed, was enough proof of her intention for his Vampirius of her commitment to them, and it slipped back into the recesses of Jeremy's mind, watching and enjoying the mating without further interference.
With the end of combat, the desire to ride her hard slammed back into him. Releasing his mouth's lock upon her neck, Jeremy only had mind to assure that the punctures his teeth had made were magically sealed, lathing across them with quick caresses of his tongue, not wanting to tear her skin accidentally. When that was done, all gentleness was gone.
Gripping her hips and using the strength gifted to him by his half-Vampire heritage, he lifted her with a simple pull of his biceps and shoulders and then surged up into her at the same time as dropping her back down, establishing a wild rhythm guaranteed to bring her screaming. He fucked into her with power, cutting loose, knowing she could take what he had to give. Her pussy stretched tight around him, and it was such a snug fit, he couldn't fathom how Will could have fit, given his size.
That thought alone brought him to the brink quicker than anticipated. The idea that Will's semen was lingering there, inside Su's beautiful body right then and mixing with his own pre-come, that it coated his dick from tip to base along with her sweet essence, and that he would become one with the both of them in this way… He groaned as lightning-hot flares of pleasure licked up and down the length of his penis, centering within his testicles and tightening them, making him sweat.
Su held on, thrusting back against him, urging him on with husky, mewling cries. "Love, Jeremy, make me yours! Never let me go!"
He drove his erection deep, pounding harder, faster. "You are mine," he growled as he pumped incredibly harder, the raw, carnal sound of their wet flesh coming together filling his ears, ratcheting up his desire to heights of passion he'd only ever known once – in Will's arms. Her cunt wrapped around him, sucked him in as it tightened with impending orgasm. "You and Will are both mine, forever."
"YES!" she screamed as she tumbled over the edge of sanity. Her climax was so strong that it pulled him right along with it, causing him to spill his seed in a series of powerful eruptions deep inside her. Shaking from the intensity, Jeremy moaned and bit down again over the mate mark he'd given her as he ejaculated into her warm depths, drinking her blood down at the same time.
He wasn't even consciously aware of moving, but when his lids peeked open, Su was on her back, pressed into the blankets and he loomed over her, continuing to pulse residual, hot blasts of semen into her. When he was drained, they both lay boneless, exhausted and sticky with sweat. It required Will's assistance to move Jeremy out and off of their mate before he crushed her with his weight. Within moments, Su was fast asleep, worn out from the two matings.
Lying within Will's arms, Jeremy could feel the bond between he and his two lovers like a golden chain that magically attached their hearts to his. For the first time in his life, he felt complete.
"Not yet," Will informed him, reading his thoughts now that no barriers existed between the three of them. With a pull of those burly arms, his lover scooted Jeremy up until the man's mouth lay poised over the side of his neck – the side not marked. His blond lover pressed a kiss upon the unmarred flesh. "My turn," he whispered in his ear.
To his utter amazement, Jeremy's softening penis rallied and his heart picked up its paces.
With little effort, Willem flipped him onto his back at the end of the cot and took control of their love making, much more confidant with acting upon what he wanted this time around. On hands and knees, he leaned over him, the tip of his large, hanging cock stroking against Jeremy's. The sight made his mouth water as he imagined taking that huge, wet length into his mouth again.
"Later," his lover informed him, reading his thoughts. He lowered his lips, claiming a kiss. As earlier, it was more loving than lustful - which was perfect as far as Jeremy was concerned. This, more than the sex, was what he'd craved from Will for so long anyway. Being touched with love was what he'd missed and wanted… needed.
As Will dropped his weight to his elbows, Jeremy's arms came around his shoulders, his fingers thrusting into that blond, silky hair and holding on tight. Their matching groans vibrated along the soft flesh of their feasting lips. Their tongues tangled, danced, pulled apart. His lover swept through the parted, moist channel of his mouth, both demanding and giving at the same time.
Tears of joy prickled the backs of Jeremy's closed eyelids, and the months of yearning for this man – years, actually – caught up with him. With a hitching breath, he wrapped his thighs around Will's, cradling him so close that their chests pressed, and their hearts fell into synch.
I love you.
His eyes flew open at the same moment Will's did, and they locked onto each other. Had they actually said that together, at the very same time?
"Now tell me the rest of what I want to hear," his blond lover demanded, his voice low and uncharacteristically growly.
Reaching up to feather his fingertips over Will's lips, Jeremy opened his mouth and poured out his soul. "I'm so sorry that I hurt you by not trusting you when I mated you the first time," he whispered the apology, trying to be considerate of Su's need for rest as well. "And I'm sorry I took your choices away from you then, as well as when we were children, back in school. I know there is no excuse to justify what I did, but I hope you can understand. I was scared both times that you would reject me if you knew in advance who I was and what I'd planned, and I was too selfish to take a risk on the truth scaring you away. I acted badly. I made the wrong choices. I promise I'll never do anything like that to you again."
Will's face softened with forgiveness as he dipped his head and softly bit Jeremy's bottom lip. "No, you won't."
Muttering a quiet incantation, his lover summoned his wand to his hand from where it had dropped onto the pile of clothing on the floor. It came to him effortlessly. "What's the charm for making this easier… for you?" he asked, a slightly blush tinting his cheeks.
It took Jeremy a second to realize what his mate wanted. "Oh," he smiled, and gripping Will's wand, he simply summoned what he needed from the depths of his personal Bag of Holding across the room. The plastic bottle of Durex lubricant – swiped from a Boots on a supply raid a few months back – came to his hand. He passed it to Will. "Here."
Dropping his wand back onto the tent floor, Will took the hand-off and opened the bottle. He paused, sniffed it, and a slow grin worked his face as he chuckled under his breath. Cherry-scented? he threw the amused thought at him as he slathered his hand with the clear liquid.
Jeremy snickered and shrugged one shoulder. There's pina colada in there, too, if you want that instead.
Their amusement both faded as Will lowered his hand and gripped his penis, moaning as he polished it with the lube. His face flushed with heat and he closed his eyes in enjoyment as he stroked the silky wetness several times from tip to base, causing Jeremy's cock to go painfully solid. Lying completely still, watching the show was an amazing turn-on. His lover's crown was engorged with blood, red with need as Will fisted it. His bollocks hung like a stallion's, full, heavy and beautifully round. Tight, golden curls framed the area, and Jeremy was tempted to run his fingers through the hair.
"Do it," Will murmured, biting his bottom lip.
Reaching out, Jeremy touched his lover as he wanted, feeling every inch of the pelvis, the hips, encircling the base and stroking up and down with Will, and finally gripping and rolling his sac. Gasps and moans followed his contact, heating him up, boiling his blood. He wanted to feel this thing inside him with a need that made his teeth clench.
Put some on me, he instructed, and guided Will's hand back to the bottle for another dollop. His mate complied, lathering up Jeremy's cock, his balls, and the entire length of his arse. By the time he was nice and slippery, ready to be taken, Will had set the lubricant aside and gripped his stiff length in hand, moving towards their union. Jeremy widened his legs and tilted his hips up, meeting the cap of his lover's cock.
"Ready?" he asked Will, one hand gripping the man's upper arm, the other thumbing over his bottom lip, tracing the indents of Will's teeth where the man had bitten down too hard. Curiously, he noted that his lover's canines were sharp. He hadn't noticed that before.
Will lowered his head and kissed him, and there was nervousness in his touch, but definite resolution in his breath. "Let me know if I hurt you," he whispered.
With that, Jeremy relaxed, allowing his mate to make love to him – finally.
X~X
Will pushed his hips forward, keeping a firm hold on his shaft to assure a smooth first entrance. There was no denying the small bit of fear of the unknown that gripped him. He'd been taken, and he'd dreamed of doing this with Jeremy, but having never been in the dominant position, and the reality was actually quite a daunting place to be. He wanted to do this perfect, worried of hurting his lover because of his size and inexperience. Christ, it was like he was a virgin all over again, shagging for the first time.
His crown pierced the tight ring of muscle and it took some pressure to move through it. God, the ringed texture felt amazing against the very sensitive underside of his cock as the flesh parted for him with some resistance. He shoved harder, felt his wide, dripping crest bury itself an inch, then two. Thank Merlin for the lube and his weeping pre-come, as the two combined made it easier to tunnel through.
Jeremy groaned in bliss and tilted his hips back a fraction of an inch more. Will closed his eyes, paused. This was too good, and he was so close to losing all control. He rocked back a bit, then forward some more, burying another two inches, moving through the tightest flesh he'd ever felt. "Oh, God," he gasped, throwing his head back on his shoulders and pausing again. "It's… amazing."
Under him, his lover was watching with those cat-like eyes of his, and clearly trying to mute his pleasure behind firmly closed lips. He made no moves to disrupt Will, allowing him the full experience of taking a man for the first time.
It was heaven and magic combined when he went another inch, then two. Sweat dripped down his brow and covered him with a light sheen of perspiration. The amount of concentration it took not to simply give in to the drive and fuck as hard and deep and fast as his body demanded was incredible - more taxing than anything he'd done previously. Drawing back all the way, he slowly slid back in, pushing further this time until he was buried all the way to the hilt.
He was in. Jeremy was stretched open under him, filled with his cock – claimed. He let out the breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding, and lowered his forehead to his mate's. They stared at each other for long seconds, realizing they'd just crossed the final line. There would never be any going back now, especially since Will understood finally how good this felt – to be sunken deep into Jeremy, connecting their bodies and minds and hearts up in the most intimate way possible. He knew he'd crave this feeling for the rest of his life; knew he'd never get enough of it. He'd want to take his first mate – the mate of his heart – at every opportunity now. Sure, being with Su had been wonderful, but this… this was Fate at its most magnificent.
A sweet smile drew across Jer's cheeks. So romantic, he teased.
Will blushed. Hesitantly, he reached out and touched his lover's rouged cheek, his fingertips smoothing over the light stubble. "Do you need any more blood?"
Jeremy shook his head. "Need? No. Want?" His lips twitched. "I will always want you – any part you're willing to offer, so long as it doesn't hurt you. Do you want my bite again?"
Will shivered with the memory of those teeth piercing his flesh over such an erotic spot. "Yes," he heard himself murmur as he turned his head, baring his throat. "Bite me again."
Already, the Jouisseur was rousing in him, beginning to beat through his natural reserve, changing him into more animal than man. It was strange how similar, and yet how different Su's aphrodisiac was from Jeremy's. He could almost taste and smell the differences on his tongue: Su's was subtle, tasting and smelling of a spring rain and heady jasmine flower – a very feminine feel, while Jeremy's was whiplash hot, dark, spicy – masculine to the core. They elicited different sensations in him, and yet they both were resident within his body, existing simultaneously in his veins. He wasn't sure why they hadn't combined, but he was grateful for the differences, for they dragged from him very divergent needs and desires, and he enjoyed the variation.
Jeremy's fangs pressed into his flesh, going deep, reaffirming his previously staked declaration upon Will with a swipe of his aphrodisiac-laden tongue across the wounds. The sharp pain of being pierced gave way almost immediately to a rush of carnal lust that caused him to unconsciously move his hips. With a loud cry of joy, Will began thrusting, while his lover's hold on his neck tightened to prevent him from tearing the wound open. He set a rhythm that rocked the cot with its intensity – a wholly instinctual pace. He surged forward, withdrew, fucked harder on the return, enjoying the feeling of being squeezed and suckled by Jeremy's contracting muscles, of the rippling flesh stroking the head of his cock.
This felt so right.
The fire consumed him within seconds, and he was unable to control the modulation of his voice as he gasped and cried out with the ecstasy. "I love you," he grit as his uncontrollable orgasm burned through his shaft, preparing to spill over. Wrapping his arms around Jeremy's shoulders, he pulled his mate in tight. "God, I love you, Jeremy! I need you! Please, please!"
Removing his mouth and sealing the punctures over his throat, Jeremy's wet lips touched his ear. "Fuck, I love you, too! Come with me, my Will."
His hips rocked forward one last time and he did as ordered, exploding his seed into the depths of Jeremy's body with a hoarse scream that shook the very foundations of his soul. His whole body spasmed, ignited, and behind his eyes, he saw brilliant gold. "MINE!" he proclaimed to Heaven as that other half within, the part that had silently watched and waited for this exact moment, crowed with triumph. "You are mine, mate!" it snarled in exultation, using his voice.
They stayed, locked together like that even as they both grew flaccid and the semen that Jeremy had ejaculated onto his stomach at the same time that Will had found his release chilled and grew sticky between them. Holding tight, both refused to let go of the other, their bond finally completed, their love for each other validated and strengthened from their long-awaited coupling.
To his surprised pleasure, Su's fingers ran soothingly over Will's back as he lay too exhausted to move. It was her, this time, who gently assured his weight met the cot to one side, so as not to crush their shared mate. Spooning in against Jeremy's back, keeping him between them, he felt her fling an arm over them both, her fingertips resting on Will's hip. "Now we are truly one," she tiredly sighed, a smile in her husky voice. "I am happy for all of us."
Will lazily opened his tired lids. Jeremy was snuggled into his chest, eyes closed with fatigue and contentment. Across the man's shoulder, Su stared back at him, her dark eyes assessing. A small smile graced her lips.
I believe I know your secret now, she whispered to him within the vaults of his mind, touching very gently against the 'other' within him. Will you not reveal yourself to him?
The thing inside of Will stared at her through his eyes, considered her offer. Soon, it answered, and with that, it exerted its pressure upon him, forcing him into sleep.
X~X
Su remained awake for long while after her two mates found their rest, watching over them, touching them each gently, lovingly as she learned the curves and angles of their bodies.
Her body was very sore, as it was not regenerating as it previously had. She had truly lost her virginity this time – to Will, of all people. There was no regret in that choice, however, for he had been considerate and gentle with her. She adored Jeremy, but she also understood that his love making style was the rougher of the two men, and so giving her 'cherry' – as the youth called it today – up to Willem had actually been a better choice, regardless of his greater size.
The thought of the sex she had enjoyed with both men made her shiver again with the remembered pleasure. It had been a glorious experience, filled with so much deep feeling. Never in all her many years, with her dozens and dozens of partners, had she known such exquisite rapture!
Of course, she was no rose-blinded fool either, understanding as she took in the vision of Jeremy and Will embraced in sleep that she was the superfluous member in this ménage a trois. The love the two wizards had for each other was greater than their feelings towards her - and always would be. There was no way to fight the nature of their bond. She accepted that she was merely a means to ease the way for all of them, to give the two men what they most desired someday: a future with children. Yes, her Vampire 'gifts' were different from Jeremy's, and she brought something very unique to his and Will's banquet table that would only empower them both over time, but it was her biologic propensity that was the true draw, although neither man truly recognized that truth now. They would, though, in the years to come, after the war ended and she allowed them all to consider the possibility.
For now, she accepted her place. Being the concubine in this 'marriage' was more than she could have ever hoped for in her life, honestly. Jeremy loved her as much as he was able; this she knew from their mating and as they had merged minds. Willem would come around, as his heart was an honest one, open and desperate for love and acceptance. His 'other'… she was less concerned with its motives, now that she understood exactly what it was, knowing it would never cause Jeremy – and by proxy her – harm in any way. It was a protector, and it would give its life to assure the safety of its mate and its second lover.
Yes, what they had done here tonight was good, and it would only get better with time.
Cuddling into Jeremy's back, she laid her head down in the cot, slipped a leg between his two, and wrapped her arm about him, stretching to include Will in that touch. Assuring contact with every inch of warm skin, she closed her eyes and slept with her two mates, a smile upon her lips.
For the first time in seven long decades, she did not dream of being frightened and alone.
