The days went by as normal with Finn working and John and Randy back on the road except for their days off. John missed Sheamus so much but still the Irishman had not made it back home.
Finally after a few weeks Sheamus sent Randy a text to inform him he would be in Tampa the next morning. It was evening and thankfully they were both at John's home for a few days off. John was in the shower while Randy relaxed in their large bed. Randy watched John when he came out. "Excited, Baby?"
"For what? We getting ready to play?" John asked as he walked out, wrapped in a towel. Randy had gotten the text while John was showering so he had no idea what was going on.
Randy wanted to smack himself for jumping the gun. "Oops sorry, BB. Got a special text while you were washing." Randy told him with a smile. "Shea was just boarding his flight."
A look of surprise then happiness crossed John's face. He tried to contain his excitement as he sat on the bed. "That's great. It seems like it's been so long since we got to see him."
"Well, it has been a long time, but yeah he is on his way. Of course it is like a ten hour flight if I remember right." Randy told him.
"I'll cook a big breakfast for when he arrives. Master will be at work by then and it will be just us three." John said. He stood to remove the towel and climbed into bed.
"Sounds good." Randy told him before cutting the light. He moved over in the darkness to kiss John. "It will feel different having a full bed again...oh yeah I forgot Shea was taking a different room for now."
"I...I don't know. I would love to have him here with us again...it just hurts to have him so close and to put you in the middle like a shield or something. I feel like I'm nothing but trouble then." John admitted after kissing Randy.
"Well, it was one time. You two can hold each other...just need to refrain from more until Finn gives his permission." Randy told him.
"Yeah...I miss him. Maybe I'll say I changed my mind." John went quiet for a few minutes. "Has he been calling or texting you at all? When he was alive he could not be away from me a day without calling...I haven't heard from him since Ireland."
"Not before tonight. I guess his life was just chaotic." Randy pondered.
"I...guess. Had to be times at night when he was alone though." John's voice may have cracked slightly in the dark. "We used to be his everything...it's been weeks. Weeks without a single word."
"And I am sure he had a lot to think about." Randy reached for John's hand in the dark. "If he didn't want us he wouldn't be on a plane right now."
"Yeah...just thinking back to a time I went away to spend the weekend with you." John said quietly. "I came back after two days and he was a mess...still in bed and had not eaten all day. He said being away from me was torture...now he can go weeks without even a text."
"Well, even before what happened happened he had gotten better with that. Now after it...things have changed, Baby...he has changed. We will just have to wait and see in what ways." Randy was always the blunt and honest one.
John went quiet because the thought of Sheamus changing hurt him deeply. What if the man who came back from the dead was nothing like his sweet soul mate? He let go of Randy's hand so he could turn on his side to rest. "Night, Daddy."
"Night Baby, love you." Randy replied.
"Love you." John said softly. He laid for a while, looking into the darkness. His problem was he cared too much all the time. He needed to stop always expecting so much and just wall himself off like Randy and Finn. It was easier that way than always being let down. He drifted off to sleep.
The rest off the night was uneventful until the next morning. John cooked Finn his breakfast as always and waited on him to come into the kitchen to eat. He was dressed in his formal collar and wearing a grey tank top and black gym shorts. "Morning, Angel." Finn greeted as he entered the kitchen. He walked over toward John with a faint smile.
John smiled back. "Your breakfast is on the table, Master. A three egg omelet and ham steaks."
"I want a kiss first." Finn replied. John bent his head to give Finn a soft kiss. His breath tasted like mint as he had just brushed his teeth. Finn smiled as the kiss broke then moved to begin eating.
"Sweets gave Randy a text last night. He should be here by mid morning." John told his Dom as he moved to the counter to dice veggies for the big breakfast later.
"Oh." Finn replied as the fork almost fell from his grasp. Part of him almost forgot about the impending exchange. "I take ye are excited. Nervous maybe?"
"A little of both. He hasn't contacted me in weeks." John admitted as he worked. "He seems a little different than before he passed." So many emotions were concealed behind his eyes while his voice sounded calm.
"I'm sure he had a lot on his mind. A lot to work out. It isn't exactly like he was just away on holiday." Finn told him.
"I know." John said simply as he focused on working. He told himself he would not stress or worry about what was to come.
"I take it ye be eating with Randy when he gets up?" Finn asked.
"Yes, Master. Like I normally do with Daddy." John replied. "I'll also have a nice meal for us all this evening. Maybe steaks, shrimp, salad and baked potatoes."
"Sounds like a down right banquet." Finn joked as he tried to focus back on his meal. John smiled. They chatted while Finn ate and then the Irishman kissed him goodbye and left for work. John spent the next few hours putting together a big breakfast. By the time Sheamus was supposed to be arriving the table was set for three. Toast with his homemade peanut butter, western omelets, fresh fruit and avocado were all ready. John had tea set out for Sheamus and coffee brewing for Randy.
A short time later the doorbell rang for the front door. "I'll get it." John called to Randy, who was chilling in the downstairs living room. His heart pounded as he walked to the front door and opened it.
"Hello, Angel." Sheamus greeted with his wide smile. "Or would ya prefer Honey I'm home?" He only had one simple and small suitcase with him.
John gave a smile and moved forward to give him a short hug. "Doesn't matter...just good to see you. Come on inside."
Sheamus stepped inside, setting the case down. "Ye know ye really should update ye gate code."
"Yes, Master." John nodded, then his face flushed in embarrassment. "Sorry...Sweets. Ran told me the same thing."
"I know old habits...speaking of thee slippery Viper where he be hiding?" Sheamus asked, looking around.
"He's in the living room. We talked last night...we want you to share the master bedroom if you want." John told him as he bent to pick up Sheamus' small suitcase. "Guess you need to shop for more clothes."
"If ye are sure, Angel...I don't wish added stress." Sheamus told him. "As for clothing...aye I think a shopping trip be in order soon."
"I'm sure. I'll take this up to the room. Breakfast is all ready." John told him. He turned to go, trying not to care that he could not kiss Sheamus at all.
"Okay, Angel...I'll go grab him and meet ya there." Sheamus replied as he moved to the living room for Randy. John carried the small suitcase upstairs and sat it on the bed. He wondered how the man had clothes to wear for the last few weeks. He sat on the bed, taking a deep breath. He was so nervous and scared but did not want to show either man.
When John didn't return down to the kitchen Randy told Sheamus to wait and he went to check on the older man. John stood and was just about to come down to join them when Randy met him. "Sorry, Daddy. I'm coming." He said with a half smile.
"What's wrong, BB?" Randy asked.
"Nothing...just nervous. I don't know how to act around him." John admitted. "I'm just so used to calling him Master and serving him...it's always been that way for us...also just kissing him and now it feels odd and off limits to do anything." A slight wetness filled his eyes but he was quick to blink it away.
"I guess we need to just see how fast he can work things out with Finn." Randy told him as he walked over to give John a hug.
John hugged the younger man back. "I hope...so much of what we did was sexual...even our talking...then I was always serving him...washing him and massages...I honestly feel lost."
"Well, Finn is coming back tonight right? But then we fly out tomorrow." Randy commented.
Tears wanted to fill John's eyes in frustration. It seemed things were forever stacked against him being able to spend time with Sheamus. Even if Finn was okay with their relationship they would not talk until late evening and they had to be on the plane early the next morning. They would then not get a day off for another week or longer. It was getting to the point that things seemed almost hopeless. "Let's just go eat." He said, moving to leave the room. He wiped his eyes once in the hallway, once again trying not to care.
Sheamus stood from the table when the guys walked in. John walked to take his normal seat, his face unreadable. "I left you some tea bags and honey on the counter, Sweets." He told the Irishman.
"Thank ya." Sheamus replied as he moved to heat the water. Even if John's face tried to mask what he felt his heart nor mind could. He was at a loss as to what to do. Did he do as he wished and be damned protocol or hold out just a few hours more?
"You're welcome. I know you love your tea." John smiled. "So everything got settled back in Ireland?" He thought if he tried to focus on talking he would not feel so sad.
"Mostly...slowly. I think for now Lady Lilly's may be my home there. No point buying a new home there if i be working here most thee time." Sheamus commented.
John nodded. "She's been very kind." Once all three men took a seat they began to eat. John focused on eating for awhile. "I was hoping you were okay when you never called or texted." He said at last.
"Sorry, Angel...I only actually got set up with a new phone a couple days ago. Hard to secure a phone when ye don't have an identity." Sheamus commented. "Lady Lilly has been kind enough to forgo any group fees I may incur until it is deemed I have substantial gain in me own resources again. "
John nodded. He had not thought of that. "Oh... you ever need money for anything let me know. I would be happy to help any way I can." His eyes looked sad. "Daddy and I have to leave again early tomorrow morning. I can leave you some cash and one of my cards for anything you want or need."
"Thanks, Angel...that will be helpful." Sheamus admitted. He knew it would be pointless and foolish to decline John's offer.
"Sadly we'll be gone at least a week." John informed him before taking a sip of juice. "Seems we are always passing each other anymore."
"Aye...I still need to figure if I should go after employment with WWE again or not. if I do I see me being sent to NXT to prove I can still perform. If ye two quiet though if there a point of me doing so?" Sheamus wondered.
"Guess not...depends on if Master says we are allowed to...be...together." John said, his voice cracking slightly on the last words. "If I'm not allowed to be with you what would be the point in looking into starting a school so I could live honestly and openly?" If Sheamus would notice John had on his formal collar with the familiar design of the angel wings.
"I guess we will know in day or two then." Sheamus replied. "I have faith though." He sipped his tea before speaking again. "Do ye plan on fully opening about yeself or just about the three of us?"
"Myself?" John asked, a little confused. "What do you mean?"
"Ye said about being open and honest. To what extent? Will thee world find out ye aren't exactly thee Mr. Clean Cut ye were made to show on camera?"
"If you mean the lifestyle maybe a little in time. I don't want to flaunt it in people's faces but I have been wearing my everyday collar out now." John answered. "Once I'm out of the company I would feel more comfortable attending public scene events that aren't in clubs alone."
Sheamus nodded. "I thought just a logical question. So ye won't be wearing thee leather if ye do thee school?"
"I don't know...maybe at times." John replied. "My only problem is I do that or go to a public scene event I would be either asked who my Dom is or he would need to go with with me. Master is going to be big in the company so I can't ruin his career by telling anyone he is my Dom...and Daddy has no interest in any of that anymore."
"We will have to see...for the sake of Finn's privacy maybe I can be like a surrogate in his stay." Sheamus told him. "That will be for him to decide though."
John looked almost happy for the first time as he nodded, looking at his food. "It might not be right but nothing will ever make me stop wanting to serve you...I loved our shower times...and the long massages."
"If ye Master gives his permission then ye may again, Angel." Sheamus replied with a warm smile.
John gave a nod, trying not to get excited yet. For all he knew Finn could say absolutely no to anything. He glanced over at the silent Randy. "You okay, Daddy? You haven't spoken once during the whole meal."
"Just letting you two talk things out. I know my dynamic in things isn't really set to change any." Randy replied.
"Okay." John nodded. Once breakfast was over he began to clean the kitchen. Things just seemed more forced than how the three men used to laugh and do their light hearted banter. The room was quiet as he rinsed the dishes.
Randy excused himself, heading for the gym room. Sheamus got up, moving behind John as he washed dishes in the sink. A moment his hands were free Sheamus wrapped his arms around John's chest to pull him against him in a warming embrace. John's heart ached with longing as he felt the Irishman so close. He paused his work to just enjoy the moment. Sheamus moved to hold John a little tighter resting his head on John's shoulder. John's body trembled slightly with Sheamus' closeness. He was trying to keep calm, not to feel how much his body and soul wanted the man. Wanted to kiss him, taste him...even feel him. Being with his Sweets while in Finn's body was just not the same as this.
"Is this too much, Angel?" Sheamus whispered, a faint rumble to his voice.
John swallowed hard, the voice sending goosebumps up and down him. "M-maybe." He admitted. "I hate asking you to move...just want you so much and I know I can't."
"Sorry, Angel." Sheamus loosened his hold taking a step back with his head lowered. "Sometimes I wish I wasn't so...noble." He turned, moving back to the table.
"I don't...I like that about you." John said as he still faced the sink. He tried to calm his racing heart and his cock that already wanted to harden at Sheamus' closeness.
"Thanks, Angel...damn I hope all goes well tonight. Ye may wish to catch a nap this afternoon." The Irishman warned.
John began to work again once he felt his body start to cool. "Okay, Sweets. I'm making a big meal for us all tonight so I need to marinate the steaks when I'm finished here."
"Well, ye can rest then." Sheamus smiled. Even if the words weren't said the intent was clear. He wanted his Angel well rested if things went well.
"Fuck...Master hasn't been with me in weeks either...you going to all take your turn passing me around?" John said jokingly, acting a little more like himself.
"Well, I know Randy isn't comfortable sharing with Finn...I think I be open either way." Sheamus replied as a flash of heated energy wanted to wave over him.
John tried to focus on his work as his body responded to what Sheamus was feeling, his cock twitching inside his shorts. He had forgotten what it was like to be with someone who could feel his emotions as he could feel Sheamus'. "W-Wonder why Daddy excused himself to the gym? He's been acting quiet lately." John said, his tone a little deeper.
Sheamus shook his head to clear his head. "I think he is avoiding the subject of us until things get settled later. He doesn't wish ye upset because we can not yet do as we wish."
"I...I think I'm picking up on your excitement, Sweets." John admitted as he worked. "You like the idea of sharing me with Master?"
"I know tis a change for me." Sheamus told him. "I guess if he is part of thee group and I even need his approval for us to be together. It is nay the same as just a random person."
"He's a good man, Sweets."John commented. "He's been nothing but fair and good to me since you passed. I...I think he won't let me be unhappy...he told me he loves me even if he's like Ran in that department."
"We shall see how it goes...I will try to keep meself in check until then." Sheamus told him.
John nodded as he worked. "We're just heating each other back and forth. T-Tell me something, Sweets. Daddy said after what you've been through things have changed...and you probably have too...do you still feel the same about me...about us both?"
"Of course I still love ya both." Sheamus replied. "I wouldn't have stayed around all that time."
"Just checking." John said as he moved to the fridge for the steaks. "You can join Daddy in the gym if you want."
"I think I may check out me office. I know Finn hadn't used it yet." Sheamus commented as he stood up.
"Okay...catch you later." John said as he blew Sheamus a kiss before mixing spices for the marinade.
Sheamus returned the gesture before he moved from the kitchen to make his way to the office space. He was slowly taking back in the familiar surroundings. John took his time in the kitchen then decided to take a nap as both guys were busy. He walked up to the master bedroom and stripped down to his boxers before climbing in bed and closing his eyes to rest. In time Randy finished his work out to see he was still alone he headed up for a shower to find John in the bed. He headed for the bathroom to start the water.
John did not stir as he was in a deep sleep by the time Randy came into the room. He did not wake until almost dinner time. He took his own shower then, putting on clean underwear, dress pants and a red button down shirt. By the time Finn was set to arrive the table was set for four with red wine, steaks, shrimp skewers, salad and small redskin potatoes baked in olive oil in parsley. He tried not to be nervous as he waited. He was even wearing the cologne Randy always loved on him.
Sheamus came in smelling the air. "Ye really have become a nice little housewife haven't ya, Angel?" He laughed.
John gave a huff but smiled as he was even wearing an apron to keep his clothes nice. "I don't know about a housewife...I'm not in a frilly dress."
"Come on, Baby." Randy commented as he walked in hearing them. "You're the whole package. You can cook and you're good in the sack."
John actually blushed at the praise. "Thanks, Daddy. I wore your favorite cologne."
"Rich and spicy...like you." Randy joked as he moved to sit.
John chuckled as he walked to stand near his chair. "You don't look too shabby yourself, Daddy." He said.
"Thanks, BB." Randy commented just as the door was heard closing. "Hmm guess Finn just got in...so what about ten minutes before he walks in here." Randy joked.
John looked visibly nervous as his hands gripped the front of the chair. "Yeah...about that." There was so much at stake tonight. He would crawl on his hands and knees if Finn would only agree to let Sheamus be a part of his life
"Just breathe, Angel." Sheamus told him. John nodded, moving to take a seat so he could appear more at ease.
Almost on cue Finn walked in. "Evenin, Angel...Randy…" His eyes then stopped on the new addition. Even without being told he had seen photos. He couldn't believe it or be fully sure how to react.
"Master...Sweets." John said quietly in introduction. "And this time he's not inside your body."
"Um...a pleasure." Finn replied. Randy looked, taking it in thinking this is the first time he ever saw Finn remotely flustered.
"Aye it is and I hope more so in time." Sheamus replied as he stood to shake the younger man's hand. John could not believe Sheamus' poorly disguised innuendo. It seemed his Irish lover was more confident now. Finn nodded then released Sheamus' hand before taking his seat. "Smells good, Angel."
"Great now we have two." Randy joked.
"Well, it is my lifestyle name." John observed before answering Finn. "Thank you, Master. I made the red potatoes you love."
"Lovely. Matt worked me hard today." Finn commented. "So I got me appetite."
"Hope I made enough...there's an extra steak for you on the grill if you want it." John said, knowing Finn's large appetite.
"I am sure it just fine. Ye just know I don't turn a good meal away...or just about any meal." Finn laughed.
"Where do ye store it all?" Sheamus replied with a chuckle.
"Beats me." Finn told him with a smile.
"Guess he works it all out." John smiled. Finn may be small but the guy was ripped.
"Well I know ye fellas don't take it none too easily either." Finn commented.
"No...guess we don't." John agreed. The meal passed with more small talk. John started the clean up as always, knowing the kitchen had to be clean before he headed out in the morning.
Finn stood up from the table. "Before ye vanish, Finn...ye mind I walk with ya and bend ye ear a bit?" Sheamus commented, knowing there was no point holding off longer.
Finn looked at him a moment, feeling the butterflies forming. "Nay...come along if ya wish." John kept silent, having his own now intense butterflies as he kept busy by the sink.
Randy watched as the two men left. "You coming to the room, Baby to leave them alone to talk things out?"
"I...I have work to do first." John said, gesturing to the dirty counter tops. "Go ahead and I'll join you shortly."
"I can wait on you, Baby...I meant when you were done." Randy told him.
"Yeah." John said absently. He was so nervous he was sure his heart was pounding out of his chest as he tried to focus on getting the kitchen cleaned.
"Anything I can help with?" Randy asked, worried John would drop something.
"No...I'm good, Daddy." John somehow managed to get the kitchen all clean and then they walked upstairs to the master bedroom. Randy stripped down for the night moving to get comfortable in the bed. John left his nice clothes on and sat down on the end of the bed. He was too nervous to do much other than just wait.
Meanwhile Sheamus and Finn made their way to the extension of the house. Once inside Finn turned to look at Sheamus. "Okay, we can make this easy. I know ye didn't want to say it in front of John. Ye want him back don't ya?"
"Well, of course I do, Fella." Sheamus told him.
"So because you were first you expect me to just step aside is that it?" Finn gave a stern look.
"Whoa calm down there. I had no intent to ask ye to give up ye rights to me Angel...and aye I still see him as mine. He holds ye mark though." Sheamus said, holding up a hand.
Finn took a deep breath. "What do ye propose then?"
"Formin a house of our own." Sheamus replied.
"Who be the head?" Finn wondered as he moved to sit on the couch.
"Ye would be." Sheamus told him. "Aye, within The Rose I may be seen as having seniority, but me path did nay begin as that of Dom." Sheamus moved over to sit in a chair nearby.
"Aye...John told me when ye be younger ye actually served until an accident with ye Dom and yeself." Finn told him. His grey eyes softened slightly.
Sheamus slowly nodded. "Aye, tis true. Now of course ye know Thee Iron Rose do nay just hand out badges of a Dom. I hold thee wish and desire of both at times. I know me Angel would still wish my hand to rule him at times. I also know though that ye hand be firmer than mine ever was and he at times wishes that as well."
"So I be thee head, ye be under me as Dom to our Angel...but serve me when ye feel inclined?" Finn asked to make sure he understood where Sheamus was coming from.
Sheamus slowly nodded. "That be about thee sum of it. If ye agree John and Randy both plan to retire to have thee freedom of being open about know ye need to watch ye actions for thee sake of ye career. I can act as Angel's Dom at more public events in ye stead."
Finn pondered the words with a slow nod. "I will try it...a test. Much as I gave Angel. Three months to see how this all plays out. If it doesn't work then we will need to reevaluate things."
"Feelins nay be something ye can just barter with...but I am sure ye be pleasantly surprised at the end of thee time." Sheamus replied with a smile. "Now ye have enough energy for some play this eve with our Angel? I know he must a bundle a nervous and anxious for thee news."
"I see him so rarely I will make time." Finn replied.
Sheamus nodded closing his eyes. *Angel...will ya join us please.*
John almost jumped at the unexpected voice in his head. *Yes, Sweets. Are you in Master's quarters?* He looked over at Randy. "Sweets said they want me to join them, Daddy."
"Okay, Baby...at least I get you on the road." Randy tried to joke.
*Thee sitting room of the addition.* Sheamus replied. He then looked at Finn. "He should be here in a moment."
"How do ya...never mind. I learned early nay to question too much." Finn replied.
John gave Randy a kiss. "That's right, Daddy. All yours tomorrow." He then walked down the stairs and to the addition.
