Double Your Pleasure Bundle (24 page)

He jumped with surprise when Hugh grasped his cock in his hand, his thumb pointed up. “Ah, God.” Chris’s eyes widened when the other man began pumping his cock. Each thrust of his hand upward brought his thumb against Ness’s clit, and she was soon squirming on his lap in a writhing heap, crying out both their names.

Chris tried to hold off his orgasm. In an attempt to distract himself from the delicious sensation of Hugh giving him a hand job while fingering Ness, he returned his focus to the bra. The clasp was tricky, and he was near cursing when he finally wrestled it open. Sweat from the exertion beaded his forehead, and he wiped it on his forearm before returning his hands to her breasts. They had been firm under the satin, but the fabric couldn’t compare to the natural silkiness of her soft skin. Once again, he rubbed his thumbs against her nipples, making them harden even further. She sobbed when he scratched her lightly, as Hugh pushed against her clit.

Unable to stop himself, Chris lifted her off his lap, bending his head to taste one of her breasts. She tangled her hand in his hair when he licked her nipple, pushing his face against her skin. Chris took the bud into his mouth, sucking forcefully. His body spasmed in reaction to Hugh pumping his cock, and he climaxed without meaning to when she wriggled against his cock and Hugh’s hand. Chris bit down without thought, making her cry out. In a panic, he withdrew, but the ecstasy contorting her expression revealed she had enjoyed it.

To his surprise, Chris maintained his erection. He looked up, over Ness’s shoulder, when Hugh cupped his cock again, this time guiding him to the sweet heat of her pussy. His head hovered at the entrance of taking her, and he reached around Ness to take Hugh’s hand, wanting the other man to be part of the moment completely. With a smile, Hugh broke the touch to caress Ness’s hips. She was a willing participant when he slid her down Chris’s cock, moans of pleasure escaping her.

“Baby.” Even Chris wasn’t sure which of his lovers he addressed with the endearment. The liquid heat of her pussy engulfed his cock, and when she rocked against him, he groaned. His shaft was already sensitive from the orgasm he’d just had, and each thrust of her slit against him seemed likely to drive him over the edge.

But he didn’t want to go without Hugh. Chris grasped Hugh’s arm, pulling him as close against Ness as he could get the man. She leaned back against him, continuing to ride Chris even when Hugh removed his hands from her hips to cup her breasts. Almost empathically, he shared in the pleasure each of his lovers received, and it fed his own. Before he could stop it, his cock convulsed deep inside Ness, and he came with their names on his lips.

Without missing a beat, Ness lifted herself off him, bracing her knees on the couch, and offering Hugh the opening Chris had just filled. As Hugh knelt slightly to align himself, Chris gripped his forearms, holding him tightly. Ness cried out with pleasure when Hugh penetrated her, and Chris leaned back to allow them more room. Ness leaned against him, with Hugh following, glued to her back. The new position allowed Chris to wrap his arms around Hugh, and they embraced Ness between them. Hugh thrust into her forcefully, and she arched back to meet each plunge of his cock into her pussy. Chris held them both, alternating between kissing Ness’s neck and holding Hugh’s gaze. He could feel the tension building between both of them, and pulled them closer.

With a low groan, Ness shuddered on his lap, her body convulsing with her release. Hugh uttered a harsh moan of his own as he pushed deep inside her. While he hovered on the edge of coming, just before release, Chris stretched forward to place his mouth against Hugh’s. He captured the hoarse cry of satisfaction his lover loosed when his body jerked with satisfaction, and then penetrated Hugh’s lips with his tongue. Ness was still between them, her mouth buried against Chris’s chest, while her tongue traced leisurely circles over his skin.

They remained in that position for what might have been hours. Chris had lost track of time. He was only aware of the proximity of his lovers, of their bare skin—Ness’s warmth in contrast to Hugh’s cooler flesh. At some point, Hugh withdrew from Ness, somehow shifting the three of them onto the floor, where they lay in a sprawled, tangled heap. Satiation made his body limp, and the trendy angel atop the tree was the last sight his fluttering eyes took in before they closed when he fell asleep.

Chapter Seven

“Now what?” he asked sometime later. They had shifted at some point so that he cradled Ness in his arms, and Hugh spooned him, his arm draped over his and Ness’s hips.

She stretched, and a yawn partially distorted her answer. “I could go for a shower, a comfortable bed, and more loving…not necessarily in that order.”

“That all sounds good, but it wasn’t what I meant.” He hesitated, wondering if it was too soon to be talking about the thoughts on his mind. “I was thinking beyond the moment.”

“Oh.” Ness shrugged. “Why worry about it now?”

He turned his head to look at Hugh as the other man sat upright to brace himself on his elbow. “I owe someone an answer.” Chris frowned. “That is, if you were asking what I thought you were?”

He brushed a strand of hair off Chris’s face. “Was I asking you to spend your life with me?” Hugh nodded. “I’d like nothing more, but you have to make the decision that’s right for you.” His fingers were soft as silk when he caressed Chris’s cheek. “I only want you to be happy.”

Ness shifted in his arms, rolling away so she could sit upright. Her expression mirrored her uncertainty. “What’s he talking about, Chris?”

It was difficult to meet her eyes, even knowing she shared his attraction. After making love with her, he still had no idea how she really felt about him, other than she desired him. “Until I came to work for Hugh, you were the only person I thought about. You were on my mind all the time, and I went over and over how I could get you to feel the same way. I loved you so much it was killing me not to have you.”

She frowned. “You talk like that’s changed. Don’t you still love me?”

He reached out, taking her hand. “Yeah, I do…but I love Hugh too.” Sighing, Hugh shook his head. “I don’t know how I’m ever going to choose.”

Hugh’s arm around his shoulder was solid support. “You know how I feel, but it has to be about how you feel. Listen to your heart.”

Chris shook his head again. “My heart’s telling me something I can’t have.”

“What’s that?” asked Hugh.

He looked up, first at Hugh, and then at Ness. “I want both of you.”

A smile crossed Ness’s full lips. “Who says you can’t have what you want?” She leaned forward, getting onto her knees so she could scoot closer to him. Her arms settled over Hugh’s around his neck. “Why can’t you have us both?”

He inhaled her scent, closing his eyes to focus on his thoughts. “It’s not that simple. I want both of you, but not just sexually. I want more than sex. I love you both.”

Ness slid her fingers through the hair at his temple. He opened his eyes at the soft touch. “I love you too, Chris, and I think Hugh and I could have a special bond eventually. We both love you so much, and we’re attracted to each other. Who says it can’t work?”

“Nobody would understand. We’d have to hide our relationship.”

Ness shook her head. “Who cares what people think? All that matters is we’re all happy with the situation. I’m willing to try if you both are.”

Eyes wide, Chris nodded. He couldn’t believe she was so accepting of the situation. Could he really be so lucky as to have both of the people he loved with him forever?

Before he could get his hopes too high, Hugh spoke. “You have to know everything before you can commit to this idea, Ness.”

Chris’s stomach felt like it dropped into his ankles. How could he have forgotten his lover was a vampire, an immortal, and that making a life with him meant quite a bit more than it did to other couples committing to each other? He’d had a chance to get used to the idea, and it didn’t frighten him to face becoming a vampire. It seemed unlikely that Ness would be so eager to make the decision she was suggesting once she knew everything.

“Chris?” Hugh nudged verbally.

He met the other man’s eyes, nodding. It was with a sense of impending doom that he took Hugh’s hand in one of his, and Ness’s in the other. The revelation had to come from Hugh, and he held his breath while waiting for him to begin.

Ness looked confused and frightened, her gaze darting between the two of them. “What’s going on? You two are freaking me out.”

Chris squeezed Hugh’s hand to offer silent support. However Ness reacted, he knew he couldn’t bear to part from the man beside him. If he couldn’t have both of them, he would stay with Hugh and still be happy.

“You know Chris and I met because he came to work for me as my assistant, yes, Ness?” At her nod, he continued. “He performs myriad duties for me, including sustenance.”

She frowned. “What? I don’t understand.”

Hugh opened his mouth, and his fangs were clearly visible. “I am a vampire.”

Chris’s heart sank at the way she recoiled. “Ness—”

She pulled free of his hand. “He’s a necro, and you knew it, Chris? Why didn’t you tell me?”

“Don’t use that word,” he said more sharply than he intended.

Tears sparkled in her eye. “He could have hurt you, killed you, and I never would have known what happened to you. How could you be so reckless?”

“I can see how far your ideals extend.” He shook his head, having trouble hiding his disgust. “Why are you a member of VCLU? You clearly don’t believe in equality for vampires.”

Her eyes widened, and her gaze cut to Hugh. Ness groaned. “Oh, I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean—”

“Save it,” snapped Chris. “You’ve already shown how you really feel. I think you should leave.” He turned to Hugh when the other man placed a hand on his shoulder. “I’m sorry I brought her into your life, endangered you.”

Hugh put a finger to his lips. “Shush, love. You are overreacting.” He pressed more firmly when Chris tried to speak. “Her concern was for you. Did you not hear her? She is not rejecting me, Chris. She responded simply from the thoughts that came to her, regarding your safety, and how she would feel without you.”

With a frown, Chris turned his head to look at Ness. She was huddled into a miserable ball, her head bent forward. “Tell me honestly how you feel now, Ness.”

She lifted her head, confusion clear in her eyes. “I don’t know. I want to be with you, but I’m frightened.”

“I will never hurt you,” said Hugh.

Ness hesitantly reached out to touch the back of his hand, still clasped in Chris’s. “I know that. What I don’t know is what you both expect from me. Where do I fit into the picture now?”

“Where you did before. You can be with us in whatever capacity you choose.” Hugh withdrew his hand from Chris’s, putting Ness’s hand in its place. “We both love Chris. That doesn’t mean we have to love each other. That might grow in time, if you choose to join with us.” He shrugged. “Or maybe you and Chris will be together without me.”

“No,” said Chris. The answer came to his tongue without thought or hesitation. “I don’t want to be without you.”

Hugh smiled at him. “Does that mean you want to be like me?”

Before he could answer, Ness said, “A vampire? You’re going to make him a vampire?” Fear showed in her eyes again, and she squeezed his hand. “You don’t have to do this, Chris.”

A spark of anger flared, but he pushed it down, knowing concern prompted her words. “I want to. I can’t imagine being without Hugh now that I’ve found him. I feel the same way about you, and I want you with me, but I would never force you to do something you don’t want to. You don’t have to become a vampire to be with us.”

Her body sagged with relief. “I…it’s not that I won’t someday…maybe…I, uh…” She trailed off, biting her lower lip.

Hugh reached out, pushing the hair out of her face. “When, or if, you are ready to become immortal, you will have that option.”

She nodded. “Okay.” Her glance shifted to Chris. “When are you going to do this?”

“Soon.” His nerves jangled at the thought, but he was resolute in his decision. “Whenever Hugh is ready, so am I.”

“I leave the decision to you.”

Ness surprised Chris with her next question. “Can I be there? I’ve heard a new transformation requires a lot of blood.”

Hugh seemed as surprised as Chris. “It is true he will need to feed within hours of the change. Are you offering your services?”

The way her body trembled betrayed her nervousness, but she nodded. Her expression was set. “Yes. I want to be there for him, however he needs me.”

Hugh turned to Chris. “Are you ready?”

He blinked. “Now?”

With a shrug, Hugh asked, “Why not?”

Ness put her hand on his thigh. “Whatever you want, Chris.”

After a hesitation, he nodded. “Yeah, I’m ready.”

Hugh leaned back to sit on his calves. “It hurts some, but will be easier if you are aroused. Do you feel up to this?”

He nodded again, feeling confident in his decision.

“Come sit in front of me, facing toward Ness.” Chris positioned himself in front of Hugh as requested. “Ness, come to Chris, facing toward him.” She complied, and they were soon sitting together, the three of them in a formation that somehow gave the feeling they were preparing for a ritual.

Hugh leaned forward, embracing Chris. His mouth was close to his ear, and he whispered, “Touch her breasts, Chris. They are so beautiful.”

Chris reached out to cup one of Ness’s breasts, and she arched her back to allow him to hold more of her. Her nipple was hard and firm under his thumb when he pressed against it.

“Kiss her,” said Hugh, and he leaned forward to touch his mouth to hers. Ness parted her lips, and he swept his tongue inside, thrusting in a gentle motion that mimicked the one Hugh initiated when he grasped his penis. Ness moaned when he flicked his fingernails across the sensitive bud, and her passion increased his own. His cock grew even harder in Hugh’s hand, and he bucked his hips.

“Lay her down, Chris,” said Hugh in his ear.

Chris leaned forward, taking Ness with him. Hugh released his erection to grasp his hips, keeping them up. “Kiss her breasts, Chris, and then taste her pussy.”

It was erotic to have Hugh direct his actions, and he did as the other man suggested, taking the breast he had neglected into his mouth. Ness moaned, arching her hips, when he sucked the nipple forcefully. With his other hand, he continued to roll her nipple in his fingers.

He was vaguely aware of Hugh moving behind him, and when the other man put the head of his cock against his anus, Chris stretched backward to meet him. The shaft was slick probably from the lube they had left in the sitting room last time, and he entered Chris slowly. It made every inch of his body tighten with pleasure, and he squeezed Ness’s breast without thought. Her whimper of pain made him let go, and to make amends, he slid his mouth down her breast, across her stomach, and toward her pussy. Hugh kept pace with his movements, matching his new position seamlessly.

“Please.” She grasped his hair to push his head down the last half-inch, forcing his mouth against her slit. Chris slipped his tongue inside her, licking her clit. She tasted salty, but sweet, and her heat almost burned his tongue. He circled the appendage around her nub, making her cry out. His questing tongue explored her slit fully, sliding into her slick opening as Hugh thrust in and out of him. Unconsciously, he mimicked Hugh’s thrusts with his tongue, darting in and out of her. Her body shook, and she said his name around a sob of pleasure as he increased the tempo. Chris could feel her straining toward orgasm, and he shared her frustration. His body ached for release, but his cock received no stimulation.

Hugh suddenly put his hand against Chris’s cheek, turning his mouth away from Ness’s pussy. “Drink.” When he pressed his wrist to Chris’s mouth, tangy liquid flowed onto his tongue. It was hot and salty, like the taste of Ness, but with an underlying coppery taste and scent that identified it as blood. Queasy at the thought of consuming blood, he forced the reality from his mind, instead turning himself over to instinct and swallowed on autopilot.

Hugh pulled his wrist away, bringing his hand back to Chris’s cock and began pumping it again as he thrust inside him. Chris turned his head back to Ness, once again focusing on bringing her to orgasm. He licked and sucked her clit before darting his tongue deep into her opening. As Hugh thrust into him, while working his cock in his palm, Chris moaned against her pussy, which made her whimper.

Everything seemed to happen at once. Hugh’s erection swelled inside him and began spasming. At the same time, Ness’s pussy convulsed, and she dug her fingers into his scalp while calling his name. Her frantic thrusts against his face told him she was coming as much as the rush of arousal she loosed onto his tongue.

Hugh withdrew from him, bending over him to put his mouth against Chris’s neck. His teeth penetrated his skin, and the pleasure/pain made him jump. As his lover drank deeply from him, he continued to stroke his cock until Chris couldn’t stand another moment. His stiff erection tightened further, and his hips arched against Hugh’s hand. Finally, Chris let his own release wash over him, his shaft convulsing in Hugh’s hand as he came.

The fangs leaving his skin left a little sting, but Chris barely noticed it. His head spun, and his vision was blurry. Blackness washed over him, and he slumped against Ness, his cheek pressed against her thigh. Hugh was saying something, but he couldn’t make out the words. A floating sensation filled him, carrying him farther away from the voices. He hovered on the brink of a void, preparing to throw himself into it.
