Natural Beauty (The Cubi Book 5)

by Meraki P. Lyhne

  “Yes, Nol.” Alex came over, handing Daniel the vial. That was when Jeff had figured out the trickiness of a bow when one's coordination skills were impeded by hunger, and Daniel found the newborn adorable. Jeff plunged his mouth down on Daniel’s cock, and within seconds, Daniel quacked from pleasure. “Holy shit.”

  “Yeah, that mouth is for special occasions,” Elakdon said.

  “Oh, Jesus, no wonder Seldon loved having you over for movie nights.”

  Jeff hummed and went to town, Daniel grabbing his shoulders to steady himself as heat gathered and pooled in his balls and spine. He wasn’t sure he could pull back. This was amazing.

  “Alex, I might need your help in a minute.”

  “With what?”

  “Let him suck you because…oh, God.”

  “Hungry newborn,” Elakdon said, grinning and leaning over Jaydon. “How’s your new prolonged honeymoon?”

  Jaydon laughed and moaned. “Intense, Nol.”

  “I bet. I almost felt sorry for you doing it.”

  “No, thank you, I love your gift, I love him.”

  Daniel tried to slow down the onslaught of pleasure, but it wasn’t easy. “Oh, fuck, Jeff. I’m close.”

  “Don’t give it to him,” Elakdon warned.

  Jeff pulled Daniel closer, taking Daniel all the way down his throat, and Daniel cried out.

  “Coming!” Elakdon said. Daniel opened his eyes, watching Elakdon pull Jaydon up to stand flush against him, and he then carried Jaydon, apparently still with his dick lodged in his ass, until they stood right next to Daniel. Elakdon grabbed Jaydon’s dick and pushed forward, rubbing it against Jeff’s nose. “See? Hubby’s dick needs you.”

  Daniel chuckled, but Jeff had different plans and tried to fit them both in his mouth. Jaydon groaned and let his head lull back on Elakdon’s shoulder.

  “Oh, that’s actually hot,” Elakdon said, pumping into Jaydon in long and measured strokes. Daniel had to agree, but at least he wasn’t on the brink anymore since Jeff’s entire hungry focus wasn’t solely on Daniel’s cock anymore.

  A whimper made Daniel look toward the bed where he was surprised to find Alex leaned against the headboard, and it looked like he had his dick in Kaydon’s mouth. Undosed.

  Jeff squeezed Jaydon and Daniel closer together and moaned around the two cocks in his mouth. It was a tight fit, but the feel of wet heat and a cock slipping easily against his own with a tongue teasing them both was very erotic.

  “Oh, I think I’m going to empower the two of you together and at the same time,” Daniel said. “That could be fun.”

  Jaydon reached up to caress Daniel’s hair, gasping and nodding. “Yes, thank you, My King.”

  Jeff reached up to fondle and caress Daniel’s sack, and pleasure soon took Daniel to the brink again. Just before he came, he reached down to shield his balls, afraid Jeff would be too far gone to notice if he squeezed to prevent Daniel from pulling back, and he made it two steps back before his orgasm claimed him, and he came into the vial. He followed up with a dose as specified, put the cap on, and shook the vial.

  Alex stood close to the bed with his eyes closed, slowly pumping in and out of Kaydon’s mouth.

  “Oh, yes, baby, you know what I like,” Jaydon gasped. Elakdon sped up a bit, and Jaydon was clearly on his way into heaven with a dick up his ass and his husband’s skilled mouth on his cock.

  “Oh…sorry.” Elakdon pulled back and grunted, coming into the vial. Jeff quickly got to his feet, lifted Jaydon into his arms, and plopped him down on the other bed, and then Jaydon was fucked skillfully by someone who knew every inch of his body and every button by the sound of it.

  Elakdon rounded the bed, shaking his vial, and he grinned nodding at the fucking couple. Daniel stood to a side, watching what Elakdon had in mind with the vials. “Alex, we have something for him here.”

  Alex stepped back and packed himself away.

  Elakdon reached for Daniel’s vial. “If you want to feed on semen, he’s gonna come now.” Elakdon pointed at the pole-sized dick, and Daniel couldn’t resist, but he was gentle about closing his hand around it. Kaydon thrust a bit and whimpered, and the way his scabs moved, Daniel would probably have screamed from it. Kayden grunted, and the pole in Daniel’s hand stiffened and pulsed, sending a huge load into his cupped hand while he slowly milked him.

  “Oh, that’s a healthy portion. How are you, Kaydon?” Elakdon asked and knelt next to the bed.

  “Tired and finally not hungry. That was great. Thank you, My King…s.”

  Elakdon chuckled and caressed a patch of hair that wasn’t burned. On the other bed, Jaydon orgasmed, followed by Jeff, and Daniel sat back on the windowsill and smiled, thankful that Elakdon had given Jeff his wish.

  “Ela, when will I be strong enough to force a change?”

  “You’d have to go all-in, and with a Fountain to keep full, that’s not a good idea. Plus, the Changeling needs other doses and lots of them to make it stick and for her or him to become a strong member of our race.” Elakdon came to stand in front of Daniel. “We shall provide, and our Guards will love to help out when they come in, too.”

  Daniel looked at Alex, once again wondering about it all.

  Elakdon leaned in to whisper in Daniel’s ear. “I offered to change him, too, when I forced the change on Jeff. He evaded the subject. I’ll leave it to you, someone he trusts and respects, to talk it through with him.”

  Daniel nodded, thinking. “He was very troubled when he came to be with me. He was always troubled.” Daniel finally noticed something. “You got your cast off! What did the doctor say, was everything okay?” Daniel went to Alex, taking his arm to look at the noticeably thinner arm.

  Alex smiled, nodding. “Yeah, he gave me some exercises to do to strengthen my grip again.”

  “Well there’s something to grip,” Daniel said, looking at Kaydon’s huge but now flaccid cock. Alex snickered. “You wanna come with me to my quarters? Seldon’s worried about you, too, and Marca is with me. It’s pretty full at the moment after yesterday.”

  Alex smiled, glancing at Kaydon. “Will I have time to be here for Kaydon, too?”

  “Of course. He’ll be your first priority.”

  That made Alex look more relaxed. He then fished the leather collar out of his pocket, holding it in a way that told Daniel it meant the world to him. “Do I get my steel collar back?”

  “Absolutely. Once I find out where they hid it. Maybe Seldon knows.”

  “Go on,” Elakdon said, squeezing Alex’s shoulder. “I’ll stay with Kaydon a bit.”

  “Okay. See you later.” Alex reached out to touch the uninjured part of Kaydon’s thigh.

  “Around four,” Elakdon said to Alex, then looked at Daniel. “Your council is convening then at my stationed warriors’ request.”

  “Okay. At four.” Daniel hadn’t heard about that, but he’d been so tired, and everybody had let him sleep in. He opened the door for Alex, and they left, but Daniel wondered if it was one of his projects the warriors had news about, so he stuck his head back in, stopping short when Randr had stepped out of camouflage and held Elakdon. That wasn’t the strange part, but the way he did it. Daniel hurried out and closed the door, feeling like he’d just spied on something private. Who was Randr to Elakdon? And why was he always hidden?

  Questions for later or never, Daniel didn’t really care, he just wanted to spend time with Alex and have his side of everything that had happened since Daniel had been rushed from the Grand House of Dahlidin. He wanted to know how and why he’d returned to a people he’d wished himself away from for five years.

  “You have a beautiful House here,” Alex said.

  “Thanks. Wait ‘till you see the view from the living room.” Daniel put an arm around Alex’s shoulder, not really giving it much thought. Physical contact of almost every nature had become a norm, and he was happy to see his friend unharmed. He did register that Alex seemed a bit awkward about it, so Daniel squeezed his sho
ulder and continued, nodding and thanking his people as he passed them bowing or kneeling. “And do you know what I got?” Daniel asked, smiling. “A very fancy coffee maker. It was a gift, and it makes awesome cappuccinos.”

  Alex chuckled. “Is it one of those with so many buttons it’ll take a three-year education to operate it?”

  “No!” Daniel laughed. “Even a high school dropout like myself can make a decent cup. You’ll see.”

  Two Guard Ladies stepped out of camouflage, and one opened a door which Daniel steered Alex through, thanking the Guard.

  Daniel stopped, looked at his feet, and laughed. “I’m in slippers. Well, I certainly feel at home then.” He took Alex through to the kitchen and pointed in true tadah style at the coffee maker, and Alex’s smile grew. “Sit!” Daniel patted a high chair as he passed it and set about making two big cups of cappuccino.

  “This place has more finesse. It’s beautiful.”

  “It’s like Caledon’s style more than Seldon’s, but a good mix. My mom’s decorating the living room, and I swear we’re reaching the point of embarrassing.”

  “Your mom?” Alex asked.

  “Recap.” While making the coffee and finding them a plate of cookies, Daniel gave a quick recap of the headliners that had happened since they’d run from the apartment telling Alex to remain quiet and ready. He kept the detail about Seldon being raped out, though, thinking it irrelevant.

  Daniel put the two cups on the table, proud of having managed two almost identical little swiveling hearts when pouring the foam. They looked almost professional.

  “Thank you, My King.”

  Daniel propped himself up to lean over the table to loudly whisper, “Daniel.” He sat back down. “Or Beaudon. At least when we’re just here.”

  “I missed you. All of you.”

  Daniel cocked his head, happy to hear that he’d managed to be good enough a friend and boss to be missed. “Tell me, Alex. You seem both happy and bummed out, and with your lover in the hospital, I can certainly understand the latter.”

  “I don’t know about lover. We’re…it’s new.”

  “New is relevant, too. He’s formidable.”

  Alex snickered. “His cock is.”

  Daniel laughed. “I was commenting on the overall huge man, and I heard it mentioned that he defended the club with a broadsword?”

  Alex nodded, drinking his cappuccino. “He’s so…” Alex looked almost dreamy. “Kind and self-secure and fierce and determined in everything he does. And the lover part? When he’s fed, we do…other stuff.”

  “Like what, play pool?”

  “Bowling, but no…I’m classified a receiver, and he’s a thruster, but he’ll let me top.”

  And Daniel caught up. Alex had always hated his classification, yet he was being allowed to test out something new. Details from their somewhat superficial conversations when Daniel was but an Untouchable slave in Seldon’s house stood out, and insight let Daniel connect the dots. “You’re a pleaser except under the dose.”

  Alex looked at his cup, nodding.

  “So you feed Kaydon pure energy?”

  “Yeah.” Alex sat up, looking a bit proud, but the smile fell pretty quickly. “I have once, and I’m still not sure if…I can in other ways, but…” Alex sat forward, puzzlement on his face. “The fucked-up part is that he fucked one of Sire Jaydon’s doses out of me in one orgasm. One.”

  Daniel gaped because that was a lot of pleasure in a breeder. “That’s why you call him a thruster?”

  Alex snickered. “That’s a term I learned from Sire Jaydon. I served the four hard fuckers at the club, and oh man, Kaydon can slam me into a world of blissful…I don’t have a word for it. Nirvana? But how can I love that, even miss it once I wasn’t here, but I’m ashamed of it.”

  “Well, that insight, on my part, didn’t come until I returned home to hide. My mom was…doesn’t matter, but you’ve been conditioned on a social plane. That societal code doesn’t work here. It clashes with everything we are, everything we value.”

  “Yeah. That’s kinda what I arrived at, too, yet I think my head’s more fucked-up than most.”

  Marcadon strode in, naked and beautiful.

  “Like nakedness,” Daniel said, pointing.

  Alex turned, his expression turning to one of relief. “Marca!” He stumbled off his high chair and hurried to clutch Marcadon close. The big Incubus looked surprised as he held onto Alex tightly. “I’m so happy you’re safe, too.”

  “Likewise, Alex. I heard you’d been set free.”

  “I don’t want the human freedom. I want to serve the House of Beaudon.”

  Marcadon looked at Daniel with pride, and it was a bit strange to know that Marcadon was proud of his monarch when they were also friends on a banter level.

  “Who’s this?” Levidon asked, and Alex stepped back.

  “This is Alex. Our King claimed him to secure him against a Changeling Master who’s since been put down.” Marcadon lifted Alex’s arm, but the cast was finally off.

  Levidon cocked his head looking at Alex. “You found your way back to Beaudon out of loyalty?”

  “Yes. I didn’t want freedom. I belong here.”

  “Do you know where his collar was put?” Daniel asked.

  “Yes, My King.” Levidon left, also naked and the view of that ass made Daniel’s cock fill.

  Alex looked up at Marcadon. “Do you need to be fed?”

  “No!”

  Daniel laughed. “That Lord with the perky ass is Marcadon’s lover, and he’s a hungry Lord.”

  “Good thing or he’d have even bigger problems keeping up with you dosing me.” Marcadon looked at Alex and caressed his cheek. “But I’m very happy you’d offer. Oh, God, your ass is sublime, I think Levidon will think it a fantastic idea to have you with us in bed. Is a human allowed in the bed of a Fountain?”

  “I have no idea,” Daniel said. “I know Levi got a set of the rules. All the Guards did.”

  Levidon returned and held up the collar, and Alex audibly gasped and followed him to Daniel. Daniel looked at it, making sure it was Alex’s. It was—there was a sign saying the first in the design.

  Out the corner of his eye, Daniel noticed that Alex was shaking, so he took Alex’s hand, caressing it. “Are you sure?”

  “Yes,” Alex answered hurriedly.

  “Nol-Elakdon asked you if you wanted to be changed. Like he did Jeff.”

  “I don’t think I’d be a good Incubus.”

  “Why not?” Daniel scooted off his chair to stand in front of Alex.

  “Because I can only enjoy being fucked if I’m dosed.”

  Daniel blinked. “But you managed pure with Kaydon because you were the pleaser, right?”

  “Once. Maybe…maybe…maybe I’m just broken.”

  Daniel hated that insecure tone, and he pulled Alex in for a hug. “You’re not broken, my friend. We’re gonna reverse that social conditioning that makes you think you’re broken.” Daniel held Alex at arm’s length, the collar in one hand. “No matter what, I’ll collar you again, and you’ll be here with me until we figure this out. If and when you decide you want to be an Incubus, you tell me, and I’ll change you. I’d be proud to have you as my people, but I’m proud to have you as my friend, already.”

  Alex’s eyes brimmed, and he swallowed with difficulty. “Thank you…Daniel.”

  Daniel smiled and put the collar back on him.

  “Can I fuck him then?” Levi asked. “Marca’s whispering all sorts of delicious things about the thrusts your ass can take.”

  Daniel snickered. “Alex may take on who he wishes, and he may deny who he wishes. You’re free to learn about yourself, and clothes is…” Daniel looked him up and down. “Optional for now.”

  “Thank you.” Alex looked shaken up, and Daniel didn’t know how to help him. But something useful kicked in—Alex needed a room.

  “Come on, I’ll show you to your room. You can freshen up, and we’ll have anot
her cup of cappuccino.”

  Alex followed Daniel from the kitchen, his fingers constantly caressing the steel collar. Daniel felt special for having gained such loyalty from a man who hated being with them. But he also knew that it was Alex’s friendship with Marcadon and Seldon that called him back. Maybe serving the King of the Cubi people was merely a status Alex loved? Either way, Daniel was happy that Alex was back. He even hoped they’d play a game of pool with Seldon again, soon.

  Another house slave was putting away stuff in a closet in their wing of the apartment, and she jumped when recognizing Daniel so far from his end. He’d only once been in that area, and that was on his first tour.

  “Hannah, this is Alex. Would you find him what he needs? Towels, bedding, toothbrush et cetera?”

  “Yes, My King.”

  Daniel turned to Alex, putting a hand on his shoulder. “Was all you own destroyed in the fire?”

  “All but what I’m wearing, I suspect. Gordon went back to save Kaydon’s things first.”

  “Gordon from the party Gordon?” Daniel asked. Alex nodded, smiling. “I’ll call him and see what he got. If you lost it all then…well, clothes are optional, you and I are pretty much the same size. I’ll find you something, just tell me, okay.”

  “Thank you.” Again, Alex looked so vulnerable. “I’ll just…freshen up.”

  “You do that,” Daniel said, smiling. Alex turned to follow Hannah, but he stopped and glanced over his shoulder.

  “Is Marca’s lover really a hard fucker? Harder than Marca?”

  “Oh, yeah! He’d make your dosed ass very happy, I’m sure.”

  Alex grinned and left, and Daniel wondered about him.

  Chapter Twenty-four

  Alex sat on the edge of his bed, looking out the window. The view was amazing, and his room was about the size of the apartment he’d had at the club. The room was empty, though, yet he had no illusions that it would remain that way for long. Daniel had changed so much. He seemed so secure in himself and his place, and the way he treated people was what made Alex think that he really was a friend and not just a collared slave. The hug he’d gotten…
