Luke smiled. “Go. Write it down. We’ll still be here when you’ve got it.” He gently turned Daniel toward the bedroom.
LUKE
Two hours later, Luke and Austin had continued to work on the puzzle while listening to Daniel compose.
Austin sniffled and Luke glanced up at him in surprise. “Are you okay?”
“Yeah,” Austin nodded and waved a hand toward the bedroom where Daniel sang the melody of the song again. “He’s just so damn talented and the last year has been so rough on him.”
Luke nodded, feeling his own eyes begin to water. Just from his years of working for Brady, he knew how traumatic it was for the musical members of the Gresham family when they lost touch with their music. For them, music was a part of them, like a sixth sense, and they felt lost without it. To know Daniel was getting that sense back right now was huge.
“Yeah,” Luke said, “he’s always downplayed it, but his songwriting is some of the best in his family, which as you know is saying a whole hell of a lot. And I’d guess from what we’re hearing today that after this last year, his music is going to take a much more heartfelt turn.” He’d composed two songs and they both already sounded amazing.
The current lyrics were about loss and love and peace amid tragedy. Obviously, Daniel’s life over the last nine months had drastically affected his music in the very best way. Listening to the heart-wrought emotion coming through the songs, Luke desperately wanted to go tackle Daniel onto that huge bed and make love to him all night long. Someone who knew about the kind of loss he sang about deserved the best and biggest love possible.
And Luke desperately wanted to be the one to give it to him. He eyed Austin across the table. He looked more than halfway in love with Daniel as he listened to him play. His eyes had grown wet and soft, his whole face peaceful and relaxed. It was a look he’d never expected to see on the strong-willed executive. Even after his orgasm earlier, he hadn’t looked this completely blissed out and relaxed.
It was hard to get a read on Austin Dawes and his real feelings about the dynamic they had going on here. He had an underlying intensity to him that didn’t surprise Luke in the least knowing what he did for his job daily. What surprised him was how much that relaxed around Daniel.
Daniel and Austin had an interesting and surprising dynamic knowing the age difference between the two. But no matter that Daniel was a decade and a half younger than Austin, Austin trusted Daniel completely to take care of him. That had to be something ingrained to their personalities because from what he understood, they had had very little time before this to get to know one another. So, what created that bond? And was Luke’s presence hindering it from growing deeper?
He didn’t think so, but how could this work? This thing between them already felt so big, so much more than just hot as fuck sex. Would it to work once they had to go back to the real world?
For himself, he’d been fighting his attraction to Daniel for years. He didn’t want to do that anymore, but after seeing Daniel and Austin together, he couldn’t imagine those two not being together, either. Could the three of them work? Was that a real possibility in the real world, or was he living in a fantasy world?
Not that he would mention the idea to the other two men yet. It was way too early for that especially after Austin’s illuminating story about his first love. It made Luke’s chest hurt to think of someone using this gorgeous, generous man like that. And unfortunately that experience would more than likely make Austin even more cautious about committing to a relationship between the three of them that a lot of society would find taboo.
No, the best idea for now would be to take this time as the gift it was, and show these two men how good things could be between all of them. Then if that naturally developed into more...well, he wouldn’t complain.
If he had his way, by the time they left here, he could consider them his two men.
“You’re thinking awfully hard over there,” Austin said quietly.
Surprised to be caught fantasizing about the three of them, Luke fought to keep his expression clear of guilt.
It must have worked because Austin went on talking in a completely opposite vein than Luke had been thinking. “I’m not sure if you noticed it, but there’s a hot tub outside. It’s wired into the generator system, too. So, if you want me to disappear for an hour or so tonight so you can have some alone time with Daniel, I could conveniently spend some time out there and out of your hair.”
He had noticed the hot tub, but he shook his head. “No, that’s not what I want at all. I like watching you and him together. You’re good together. Take advantage of that connection while we’re all here. I promise you it doesn’t bother me in the least.”
Austin frowned.
“What’s wrong? Don’t you want to be with him?”
“Well, yeah, of course I want that, but I can’t believe that you do, too. You didn’t strike me as a guy okay with an open relationship and I know that you love him, so...” Austin shrugged like it was no big deal, but there was no mistaking the clenching of his jaw. “I’m just surprised you’re so blasé about this.”
Luke tilted his head trying to understand Austin’s thinking. Was he upset or offended that Luke wanted him to take part or was he offended on behalf of Daniel? “Let me ask you something... Does it bother you to think about Daniel and me fucking?” Maybe Austin just doing a great job of hiding his jealousy, and that was the root of his concern.
Austin shook his head. “No, not at all, but it’s different. The two of you are meant to be together.”
Luke frowned. “But you want him, right?”
“Oh, yeah.” Austin practically breathed the words out on a needy sigh that had Luke more confident than ever about the validity of this plan.
“Okay, then let me clear up some things for you,” Luke said. “You were right in that I don’t share what’s mine. But for right now, I consider you both mine, and I don’t feel one whit of jealousy about what happens between the two of you. I’ll admit I was at first, but that was before I saw you together. You fit, just like Daniel and I fit. I don’t understand it. I sure as hell didn’t expect it, but I consider it a precious gift. The three of us right here, right now...it’s right. I plan to embrace it fully.”
Austin’s eyes had darkened and intensified as he listened to what Luke said. Hope flared in his gaze alongside the deep desire. That needy expression made Luke’s cock rub painfully against the placket of his jeans. Hell, these two men would test his restraint constantly.
“That’s the best, sexiest thing I’ve heard all day,” Daniel said from the doorway of the bedroom.
Neither of them had even noticed that he’d stopped playing.
Daniel’s cheeks were flushed and his eyes sparkling with excitement.
For the first time, Luke realized just how much stress he’d been carrying on his features. The frown that had developed a deep furrow between his brows had completely disappeared. He looked happy...and aroused. There was no missing the prominent bulge in the front of his sweatpants.
“Please tell me we’ve had enough anticipation.” Daniel ripped off his sweatshirt and then licked his lips as his gaze shifted between Luke and Austin, like he couldn’t decide which man he wanted to fuck first.
Luke’s shaft flexed and a drop of precum leaked out, leaving a wet spot on his underwear. He stood. “Yeah, I think you’ve earned a reward now after all that work. What do you want?”
“Both of you naked. In the bedroom. Now.” Daniel’s voice sounded shredded with the depth of his desire.
So fucking sexy.
“Don’t have to tell me twice,” Austin said. He stood up from the table and began unfastening his jeans.
Fuck. Luke’s heart felt like it was about to pound out of his chest. He wanted this so much he ached with it. For a moment, that made him pause. To want these two men so much meant that it would kill him to lose them.
He had to do whatever he could to make sure that nev
er happened. Starting right now. He planned to fully claim the two of them as his.
In the bedroom.
His domain.
His men.
Chapter Fourteen
DANIEL
Daniel’s dick had been half-hard all afternoon, but when his second song started clicking, his adrenaline had kicked in. His music was back, and that had his whole body thrumming. Add in his two fantasy men right outside the door of the bedroom and it was all he could do to finish writing the song. He couldn’t wait a moment longer.
As Austin entered the bedroom, stripping clothes off as he walked, Daniel took a deep breath. This would happen. Luke hadn’t moved from the living room, but Daniel had seen the look on his face and knew the man almost better than himself. He was coming, just making sure he had complete control before he did.
God, that was hot.
As was all the hard, toned naked skin Austin was in the process of revealing.
Daniel needed the two of them with a desire that was both overpowering and breath stealing. His music had clicked and somehow that had triggered something inside him, the rightness of it all.
They were his.
Austin stopped at the edge of the bed.
Daniel could tell he was practically panting from the way his back rose and fell. Daniel stepped up behind him, letting Austin feel the steel-hard length of his cock only restrained between the layers of Daniel’s sweatpants and Austin’s boxer briefs. Daniel wrapped his arms around Austin’s chest and kissed him along his spine. “I want you. Please tell me you’re okay with me fucking you. I need you, Austin.”
“Yes.” Austin’s ass cheeks flexed against Daniel’s hard cock.
Daniel’s hands went to the waistband of Austin’s underwear and he began to lower them, taking a long stroke of Austin’s leaking dick as he let them drop to the floor.
Austin stepped out of them and turned in Daniel’s arms, kissing him aggressively as he slipped his hands under the waistband of Daniel’s pants.
Luke’s bare, warm, hair-covered chest pushed up against his back. He latched onto the nape of Daniel’s neck, immediately raising goose bumps along his flesh.
Daniel groaned as the intensity of two men surrounding him hit. He needed to pinch himself to make sure this was real, but then Austin did almost the same thing when he nipped at Daniel’s nipple with his teeth, even as he stroked up and down Daniel’s cock. Pleasure and pain wound together in a rush of sensation.
Austin had slid Daniel’s sweatpants to mid-thigh, but Luke dropped behind him to take over untangling them from his prostheses. Daniel automatically tensed up as he came close to the base where his stumps and prostheses connected, even though Luke had already seen them.
“Relax,” Luke whispered to him as he lowered the pants to his ankle. “Step out of the pants,” Luke commanded. When Luke had freed him from the fabric, Austin dropped to his knees in front of Daniel and swallowed down his cock.
Every nerve suddenly seemed focused at the base of Daniel’s balls. It was for sure that all his blood had shot to the area.
Luke stood and grabbed hold of Daniel’s chin, turning his head to capture his attention even though it was almost impossible to think with the wet, tight heat of Austin’s mouth closing around his dick.
“We need your guidance here,” Luke said. “You want to fuck Austin, right?”
Just hearing those words come out of Luke’s mouth caused Daniel’s hips to automatically thrust deeper into Austin’s mouth. Oh, god, yes. He wanted that so fucking much.
But damn, he’d have to last that long first. Austin’s mouth...
Daniel’s eyes fluttered shut, and he groaned even as he buried his fingers into Austin’s hair pulling him closer, but trying not to choke the gorgeous man on his knees.
“Daniel!” Luke’s grip on his chin tightened capturing his focus again.
From his wide pupils, Luke looked just as turned on as him, but the smile twitching at his mouth revealed his amusement. The asshole knew how hard it was for Daniel to concentrate right now.
“Yeah?”
“Let me help you here,” Luke said, his voice low and serious whispering over his ear. “What’s the best position for you to do this?”
That question should have taken him out of the moment with worry over his legs, but just as Luke asked it, he dipped a finger between Daniel’s ass cheeks.
When had the fucker pulled out the lube?
Oh, who the hell cared? Luke was touching his ass...choosing to do it. This was something he’d fantasized about his entire adult life.
“He can...” Fucking hell, how was he supposed to think or form words right now? Austin rolled the tip of his tongue around the ridge of Daniel’s dick.
“Come on, Daniel.” Luke breached his hole with a single finger. “Concentrate. Where do you want him?”
Daniel tried to get his brain to focus as the pull of his body tugged his mind completely off-course, spinning with the fantasy of all the different ways he could fuck Austin. Fucking Austin again. God, he wanted that.
“He can ride me, but...” He swallowed a gasp as Austin’s mouth tightened at his words. He groaned and gently pulled Austin off his dick before he lost all semblance of control.
Austin looked up at him with spit-slick, swollen lips and wide-blown pupils. God, he looked sexy as fuck. Another bead of precum dripped from the tip of Daniel’s dick. He reached down and pressed firmly at the base of his hard length. That didn’t help much. Fuck. “I need to do this now, before it’s too late.”
“You close, D?” Luke asked, as a second finger breached his hole.
“Fuuuck. Yes.” Daniel panted through the zinging sensations rocketing through his body as the tip of Luke’s finger brushed over his prostate.
“Then let’s get this show on the road.” Luke’s fingers abandoned his ass, leaving Daniel feeling way too empty.
He whimpered.
“Get on the bed, flat on your back,” Luke instructed.
This was it and suddenly Daniel’s stomach started to flip in circles. They would see him laid out with his prostheses front and center. What if he couldn’t do this? He hadn’t fucked anyone since the plane crash.
Austin stood in front of him and grabbed his face. “Don’t overthink it. Just feel.” Then he kissed him, full of tongue and tangling teeth.
Daniel could taste himself in Austin’s mouth, got swept away in the pressure of Austin’s hard bare dick pressing into his stomach. He groaned and wrapped his arms around the back of Austin’s head.
Austin took advantage of his distraction and picked him up to place him on the bed, kissing him and sidetracking him from anything else but the sensation of hot, aroused men surrounding him.
But even with the distraction, Daniel stayed honed in on exactly where both men were at in the bedroom. Luke crawled onto the bed behind Austin, throwing condoms beside them, but he kept the lube in his hands, wetting his fingers.
Austin lifted up and looked at Luke over his shoulder.
“You two keep doing what you’re doing,” Luke said to Austin, “and I’ll prep you for taking his dick.” For a moment, Luke met Daniel’s eyes over Austin’s shoulder as if to check to make sure that Daniel was still okay.
That little action made Daniel’s heart palpitate. In the middle of this incredibly sexy moment, Luke was still checking in with him, making sure that he was okay with where this was headed. He felt cherished and loved and suddenly didn’t have a single doubt about what they were doing here. No, it wasn’t conventional, and he still wasn’t sure about his scars, but it was right.
Austin nodded like he’d just come to the same conclusion. His eyes flared with arousal and excitement before he lowered his head to Daniel’s chest, taking one of Daniel’s nipples into his mouth.
Daniel’s back arched into the warm, wet caress of Austin’s mouth. His hips bucked and his dick leaked all over where it stood hard and aching against his stomach. His balls were high and tight, ach
ing with the need for more. He wanted to come so bad he could practically taste it.
Furthering the feeling was the fact that Austin writhed on Luke’s fingers, which sent his cock brushing randomly in a torturous tease across the length of Daniel’s hypersensitive, tight skin. Austin bit the tight bud of Daniel’s nipple and then soothed it with a flick of his wet tongue.
Daniel’s whole body felt alight with nerves honed in on exactly what the two men positioned between his spread legs were doing. Anticipation? Yeah, if that’s what Luke wanted, he was way past anticipating. He was begging. “Please, please, please,” he chanted like a prayer, needing some friction on his aching penis.
Austin gasped and his ass pushed back against Luke’s hand.
“Tell me,” Daniel commanded. “I want to know. What does it feel like to have Luke inside you?”
For a moment, Austin couldn’t do anything but pant. “So...so good.” His back bowed back. “He’s up to three...um, three fingers now. Trying to prepare me for your monster dick.” They both glanced down at where said dick continued to flex and leak onto Daniel’s abs. The tight skin had turned purple and shone in the low light, the veins prominent and the head flared, so ready for action that he’d probably blow the minute he got inside Austin. Even the thought had a bead of moisture forming on the tip.
Austin groaned and tilted his hips so that his hard cock brushed beside Daniel’s.
Fuck, fuck, fuck.
“Luke,” Daniel pleaded, his voice broken and harsh. “Tell me he’s close. I’m not going to...” He had to close his eyes as Austin brushed his groin against Daniel once again.
Think unsexy thoughts. Think unsexy thoughts. But unfortunately his self-talk didn’t do any good because the vision of the two men above him was burned into his memory. If nothing ever happened between the three of them ever again, this moment could feed his jack-off fantasies until he was old and dying.
Then a hand brushed over his cock. His eyes flew open. Luke had moved beside Austin and had an opened condom in one hand and Daniel’s cock firmly grasped in his other. He arched an eyebrow at Daniel. “You ready for this?”
