Hello, folks, here we are at the penultimate chapter, almost to our fluffy finish in Chapter 10. Embarrassingly, I'm already getting a little fklempt about saying goodbye to Cassandra, Jax, and their world of eccentric luxury. Thanks for taking this ride with me- you all have been stupendous!
Now, march your booties back into that shower with our delicious trio. We're not done having fun, just yet!
Chapter 9:
"Time's up! Everybody out!" Captain Cassie had a schedule to keep.
Only one hour 'til sun up. And there was still plenty to take care of. She handed both men towels, and ushered them out to the bedroom.
Ryan noticed that the suite had been thoroughly cleaned since they were last there. He rolled his eyes, still unable to shake his pay scale vertigo. 'After hours maid service? Jeez, the lifestyle.'
Cassie crossed in front of the bed, toweling off the ends of her hair, offering, "Juice, anyone?" She motioned to the mini bar, where a collection of tall glasses stood, filled with ice and cranberry juice, and garnished with lime. "The ones with umbrellas are spiked," she warned.
Javi wasn't interested; he still had the pressing business of the world's most stubborn wood to attend to. And the shower had only complicated his situation. Kevin wondered how it was even medically possible, for him to still be batting that thing down. He mused if times got tough, Espo could always sell his blood as organic Viagra.
"Cassie," Espo took her arm, interrupting her juice cocktail reverie. In a hushed voice he pressed, "Are you gonna help me out here, or do I need to take care of this myself?"
"Javier, I'd like nothing more, but I need you to do two things for me first."
Understandably impatient, Espo urged, "Which are?"
She offered him her virgin cranberry cocktail, "First, take a sip of juice. You need your strength."
"Easy," Espo downed the whole thing in under three seconds. "Next?"
Her eyes widened at his intensity, encouraged that her plan might just work out, after all. She met Espo's hungry look, "Second, convince him."
Javier cast his eyes to his partner. Kevin stood uncomfortably aloof, trying to absorb himself in a double vodka and cranberry, hoping it would calm some of the nerves that Javi's shower antics had unsettled. Despite, Espo's assessment that Kevin could turn on a dime emotionally, in truth, that really only applied to anger or intimacy. Embarrassment, or nervousness? That was Ryan's undoing.
Espo's omnipresent brow crease folded over on itself, "Convince him to what?"
"Join us, of course."
"My conference room, now, bro." Espo bullied Ryan back into the steamy bathroom. He searched himself for the pep talk that would circle back on the three rules both men had set at the beginning of the night. Even though Espo was supremely focused on moving things forward, it was a little difficult to think straight, without the benefit of all the blood pooling into his lower half.
Despite his physical urgency, Javier's voice was sympathetic, "Look, bro, I get it. There's no going back from some places. I've never done this either."
Kevin looked up at his partner pensively. He had signed on for this possibility at the beginning of the night, and knew he'd never forgive himself for backing out now. Still, he couldn't find a calm center where he could get a foothold, and he felt more than a touch guilty to be acting so needy right now.
Javier reached out a strong arm, and braced it into Kevin's shoulder, trying to give his confused partner something solid, and familiar, to lean into. With a gentle shake to the shoulder, he tried to jog Ryan into the confidence and swagger he had owned at the beginning of the night. Somewhere in there was the mastermind that made a crazy bet with him on the car ride over, a crazy bet that had proved to be pure genius. Javi engaged Kevin's eyes, making sure he could see that, despite the childish teasing, his very best friend was still with him - one hundred percent.
Espo reassured, "But, listen, if there's anyone who I can trust to get this done, and done right, it's you."
That's all Ryan needed, he knew all the pieces would fall into place, if his partner had his back. He felt fairly invincible, whenever Espo had his game face on.
"So, here's how it's gonna go down, I start, you watch, you get yourself in 'fighting form' " Espo motioned toward Kevin's very flaccid state. "I give you the sign, you bring your A game, I step aside. When you wanna trade, you lemme know."
Espo reinforced, "We don't need to touch each other, if that freaks you out. Just focus on her. I know she's you're walking fantasy, so let's walk the walk." He searched Kevin's face for signs that his little locker room half time speech had the desired effect, "You wit me, bro?" Javier offered his open palm up.
Kevin nodded, "til the wheels fall off."
He clasped Javi's hand, and they pulled each other in, for a naked chest bro hug, complete with first bumps to the back. Both men pulled away smiling again, Kevin's grin even bigger than Javier's. Even though they both had their own hang-ups, and agendas about this, none of that really mattered compared to the importance of them being right with each other. The rest was just icing, albeit, damn desirable icing.
The pact sealed, Espo's inner smart ass felt it safe to return.
Javi added a sarcastic wink at his air quotes, "Good, nobody I'd rather 'accidentally' rub my dick against." Then he quickly exited, before he could catch any wrath from Kevin.
Ryan took a moment in the restroom to psyche himself up. Despite Javi's toying with him, he knew he could trust his partner completely in there. He was thinking about Cassandra. In a few short hours, she would be on a plane. Out of his life forever. At least, in this sense.
Watching her movies was gonna seem like a cheap blow up doll date, compared to what they shared tonight. He cringed at the thought of returning to fan sites, and jerking off to her picture. He wanted badly to show her that he would be thinking of her, long after tonight. And not just in the sleazy porn way, or the geeky fan way, or the trophy conquest way. But in the way that she was tonight - generous, fun, insatiable, people-loving, curious, maybe a little odd, but always appreciative and open.
The loud cadence of the headboard banging, cued Ryan to get his bottom into the bedroom. It was showtime.
Javier Esposito was a monument to the male copulating form. Even Kevin had to appreciate all those muscles working flawlessly in concert to a perfect unbroken rhythm. Certainly, Cassandra appreciated it. She was laying on her back near the top of the bed, while one of her toes wandered upwards to hook itself into the headboard over her. From the sounds of her moaning, Espo was making her very happy.
It wasn't as hard as he thought it would be to just watch. In fact, it was kind of hard to look away. His partner's pumping was constant, and quick, and kept going without a break, only changes in speed. The image just screamed athleticism. Ryan didn't think he could accomplish the task the way Espo was doing it, even if he practiced. It just didn't seem possible for him, although clearly effective.
Espo was trying to give him the sign, I guess he noticed that Ryan was ready, before Ryan did.
From Cassie's point of view, her long slow train was finally pulling into the station. While she was enjoying herself, and her companions, for most of the night, her mind had always been set on arriving at this moment. She was insatiably curious about this sensation.
'What would it be like to drink fire and ice at the same time?'
Javi was driving her insane with the pace, how did he keep it up for so long, and never miss?
And when would Kevin get here?
She shut her eyes. She wanted to feel them, not direct them. Her senses closed off to anything that wasn't sensation inside her. Easier to do in a dark and quiet room. Easier to do from her back, so they could lead.
All at once, the steady pumping member slipped out, and One Long Thrust pushed in. And again, a long slow withdraw, and an even deeper, more urgent thrust. Her hips curled in the impact, her groin begging for another one, just like that. Patience, the slow, almost complete withdraw. Pay-off, the even deeper, even more urgent thrust reached all the way inside her. 'Of course, this is Ryan.' She somehow knew that this was exactly what he would bring to her, now that he was inside her.
Each thrust got a little deeper, Ryan pulled her hips toward him hard, and then harder with each thrust. He almost intended to smash them into one person so that tomorrow's separation would be a moot point.
He lifted her hips off the bed, pulled her up by her buttocks, cupping each desirous cheek in his hands. His thrusts were edging closer together, but so much was happening in her g-spot in between his contact with it, that she wasn't wishing for faster. Her hips high, she pressed into her own skin, above her pubic bone. She pushed the magic spot closer to him, and he slammed harder into it. Tortured breath burst from her, pink sparks flew behind her eyes. Again! her whole body screamed.
As before, with Kevin, her head cleared into the present moment, his entrance making every sensation crisper, and landing deeper inside her. Without the veil of illusion, her only focus was to dissolve inside the pleasure.
With three more impossibly deep thrusts, he was gone, and immediately replaced with the thicker, faster Javier. He kept her hips just as high in the air, appreciating the excellent angle his partner had discovered. But then applied speed. And more speed.
She couldn't catch a decent breath. The pleasurable friction kept strangling it away. Even faster. All the impacts blurred to one. Like hummingbird wings, she couldn't identify his position anymore. He hummed and buzzed inside her like the impossible hummingbird, she could feel the sensation building up to something that would hit her like a ton of bricks, and soon.
She felt wetness dripping down her buttocks, still hoisted high. She couldn't tell if her legs were helping to hold herself up. Everything from her pelvis down was numb from the impossibly tremendous sensations all blurred into one. "Javiiiiiiii!" escaped her lungs, before she knew what she was saying.
With her demise imminent, an altogether electric jolt rammed into her g-spot again. Javier was out, coming on the bed, from the sounds of it. Kevin brought back his long deep thrust, far down deep into everything that felt real in her. The feeling of Javi's vibration was still buzzing through her every molecule, rippling outward through her limbs. And now she could be filled up with the incredibly deep, satisfying feeling of Kevin's muscle. If he would only do it "Again!" before the buzz subsides. "Again! Now, Again!" She was desperate to feel him deep, "Again! Ry-an, pleeeeeeeease!" she implored.
Kevin managed to speed the thrusts up just enough, so he wouldn't lose any depth. The contact with Kevin braided together with the thrumming buzz Javier's signature left behind. The chain reaction exploded up her groin into her navel, traveled up her spine, and blew her head off.
She couldn't tell if she was floating, being held, or on the bed. Distantly, she heard Kevin's choked cry, as he came too. And her boundless, spinning sensation was gently rocked by the readjusting of bodies on the bed, but she wasn't there.
She was a speck of stardust floating weightlessly through Javier's red radiating universe. And this time, Kevin's ultraviolet filter overlaid the black void of space with brilliant clarity. She zoomed, disembodied, through the interstices of their woven energy, wishing she could pass through an alternate reality, where this visceral connection wouldn't need to end.
The recalibrating sounds of both men's pleasurable sighs, and light panting as they came down, echoed through the stars, but she was a galaxy away. Maybe on that shiny whorehouse planet?
Luv to JJ and BS and Selim and Fuel and Ronin and purplangel for the encouragement.
