They Both Belong to Me

by L. A. Day

  “Oh fuck.”

  “Come on, Talon. Jill will never sleep if we stay here. Your cries of ecstasy as I fuck you will keep her awake.”

  Snorting, Talon rose from the bed. “He’s a conceited ass.”

  “Cocky,” Jill agreed, stifling a yawn.

  “Are you sure this is the only pleasure wand you have?” Jo asked.

  At her nod he replied, “I’ll have to order more and some thick dildos.” Jo winked as she groaned.

  * * * * *

  Johann’s quarters consisted of a wide cot, a bedside table, an overstuffed chair, a vid screen and a chest of drawers. Tossing pillows against the wall, Jo stretched out on the bed. Lifting a hand to Talon, he beckoned him closer. “Come here.”

  Talon sat perched on the edge of the bed. His gaze rose to meet Johann’s.

  “Are you nervous?” Jo asked.

  “Yeah.”

  “Why?”

  Talon shrugged his shoulders and Jo admired the play of muscles. “We’ve never been alone.”

  “Do you not want to be alone with me? Is it only right if Jill is with us?”

  “That’s not it.” Talon’s eyes flitted nervously around the room. “Sally forced this on you. You did it because you love Jill and now…”

  “I love Jill but I don’t know if I’d have been able to…love you that way if I hadn’t already had feelings for you.” Reaching out, Jo tilted Talon’s face to meet his gaze. “Sally forced me—forced us—to face our desire.” Jo laughed. “Hell, when I stayed behind to get Jill’s clothes, I thanked Sally.”

  Talon gulped. “You thanked her?”

  “I thanked her for opening my eyes. Now, come here.” Jo opened his arms. “Come here and let me make love to you.”

  Talon sank into his arms, firm chest against firm chest, hard cock nestled to hard cock. Smoothing Talon’s long hair, he grasped both sides of his face, bringing his mouth to his. Johann’s tongue surged against Talon’s. “Mmm, you taste of Jill,” Jo murmured against his lips.

  “Sweet.”

  “You taste sweet too,” Jo said as he licked a path down Talon’s neck. “I’m going to taste you and suckle you.” He nipped a tight male nipple as his hand wrapped around Talon’s cock. “I’m going fuck you with Jill’s pleasure wand as I suck you dry.”

  A strangled gasp escaped Talon’s lips.

  “Then I’m going to fuck your ass so hard you’re going to come again and again.”

  “Jo…” He silenced Talon with his lips.

  “Don’t ever think I love you less than Jill. When we reach Quatron Four, we’ll have a joining ceremony. The three of us together. I want you both as my mates.”

  “Are you going to mark me with your band?”

  Johann pictured Talon and Jill with bands around their necks. It was customary for the dominant male of a pair or group to wear a black band around his neck. His mates would wear colored bands. It proclaimed them taken—mated. If Talon wore a colored band, everyone would know he was mated and that he was submissive to another male. Johann’s cock hardened at the thought of marking Talon. He wanted everyone to know that Talon was his—his to love and his to fuck. It was not something he would force upon Talon though. Talon was a proud man and he would not dishonor him. If Talon chose, he could wear a black band and they could both claim Jill. “I would be honored if you wore a colored band but it is your choice.”

  “You wouldn’t mind?”

  “I understand you might be uncomfortable with people knowing you belong to me. In time you might feel more comfortable and want to wear a colored band.”

  Talon chuckled. “I do not mind wearing your band. I thought you might not want me to.”

  “Why would I mind?”

  “You feared I would be embarrassed to let everyone know that I belong to you. I feared you would not want anyone to know that you were fucking me.”

  “I think I’m man enough to handle it,” Jo retorted. The thought of others knowing didn’t bother Johann at all. Talon was beautiful inside and out and he was a lucky man to have him. Everywhere they traveled, men looked at Talon and now when they looked at him they would know he was taken—claimed.

  “Hmm, I think you should show me how much of a man you are.”

  “Is that a challenge?” Jo asked, rising to the occasion.

  Talon grinned. “If you wish.”

  “I’m going to make you come harder than you ever have with a woman.”

  “You already did, the first time you wrapped your lips around my cock.”

  “Fuck, Talon.” Jo’s breath hissed from his body at the melting look in Talon’s eyes. Grabbing him by the back of the neck, he took Talon’s mouth under his. Their tongues dueled. It was different kissing Talon—a challenge, a fight for dominance. Reaching down he circled Talon’s cock, pumping the thick stalk. The other male moaned, writhing under his firm touch.

  Gasping for breath, Jo lifted his head. “Roll onto your side for me.” As Talon rolled, Jo reached for the lube and wand on the bedside table. Lubing the metal wand, Jo handed it to Talon. “Hold this.” Spreading Talon’s cheeks Jo brushed his lubed fingers across Talon’s puckered hole.

  “Fuck me, Jo,” Talon begged.

  “Not yet. We forgot to reinsert your plug last night.” Rimming Talon’s hole was pure torture. Jo’s cock stretched toward Talon’s golden globes but he wouldn’t take him, not yet. Adding more lube to his finger, he thrust deep into the hot, tight canal. With a growl, he finger-fucked his ass. “You’re mine, Talon. Mine. I want you to wear a band. I want everyone to know you belong to me.” Filling him with another finger, he worked Talon’s ass. “I want the other men to drool when they realize you belong to me in every way.”

  “I do,” Talon cried and the thigh of his bent leg trembled.

  “For years I’ve watched men look at you and I knew what they were thinking but I refused to admit it. I refused to be one of the men who hungered for your body.”

  With a shaking hand, Jo grabbed the wand from Talon and slowly began inserting it. It was no bigger than his finger but it was longer. When he’d inserted it up to the wide flat end, Jo flipped the switch and the vibrations started. “Does it feel good?”

  “Yeah,” Talon’s voice was shaky.

  Jo slid the wand out and Talon’s ass sucked it back in. “It looks fuckin’ hot.” Each time the wand slid in, Talon’s cock twitched and his abs rippled. Reaching out Jo trailed the veiny underside of Talon’s cock. “You’re lovin’ this, aren’t you?”

  Talon’s fiery gaze lifted to his, his firm chest rose and fell under his labored breath. “It feels unbelievable.”

  Grinning Jo rolled Talon to his back and lowered his head. “Let’s see if we can make it even better.” He swiped his tongue up the length of Talon’s cock. Circling the bulbous head, he tasted Talon’s essence and it heated his blood. Opening his mouth, he took him deep into his throat.

  A strong hand gripped the back of Johann’s head, burying in his short hair. “Fuck, Jo. Take me.”

  Jo growled around the thick shaft and pumped the wand harder. Talon’s hips bucked, his cock surging in and out of his mouth. With his free hand, Jo grasped Talon’s balls rolling and twisting them gently. They tightened in his hand and Jo felt the surge before Talon’s cum spurted against the back of his throat.

  “Oh god,” Talon cried as his hips bucked and tightened against the wand buried in his ass. “Damn.” Talon’s cock slowly slid in and out of Jo’s mouth as he trembled with aftershock.

  Lifting his head, Jo licked his sensitized lips and grinned. “That was good—real good. It’s going to be better when my cock is buried in your ass.”

  Talon whimpered as Jo removed the wand. “You’re ready for me now.”

  Talon started to roll to his knees and Jo stopped him. “Not this time.” Lowering Talon to his back, he lifted his legs toward his chest. “I want to see your eyes as I make love to you. Wrap your arms around your legs and hold them up.” Jo looked at his love
r, spread open and waiting for him. “You’re beautiful.” His heart thundered. Leaning forward between Talon’s spread legs, he blanketed his body. The touch of Talon’s hot flesh seared him. Brushing their lips, he met Talon’s gaze. Jo shifted his erect cock against the other male and felt him begin to harden again.

  “Take me, Jo.”

  “I will, and when I do I’ll be making love to you.” Roughly, he took Talon’s mouth, thrusting his tongue as he longed to thrust his cock. “Mine,” Jo growled as he broke his mouth from Talon.

  Shoving backward, his cock slid along Talon’s, nuzzling the other shaft as it grew to full length. Lifting the tight golden globes of Talon’s ass, his cock head lodged at the edge of the waiting hole. Holding Talon’s gaze he pierced his ass and parted tight flesh as he entered halfway. Jo shivered as shafts of desire spiraled through him.

  Talon rocked his hips with his molten eyes pleading. “Fuck me, Jo.”

  Velvet fire gloved his cock as he surged deep. Sweat broke out on his brow and his thighs shook with restraint as he fought not to savagely brutalize Talon’s ass. As he slowly pumped his hips, fire brewed in his gut.

  “You feel so good,” Jo said breathing heavily.

  Talon’s mouth spread wide in a grin and a heavy moan rolled from his lips. “Yeah. I feel real good.”

  Jo grasped the shaft shooting up between Talon’s thighs and pumped to the rhythm of his hips.

  “I’m going to come,” Talon cried.

  “Come for me.” Jo pumped harder. Sweat was running down the side of his face and it took all his energy to keep pumping and breathing. Talon’s tight canal clenched as cum boiled from the end of his cock, coating Jo’s fingers.

  With a roar of tortured euphoria, Jo viciously rammed into Talon as scorching cum bled from his cock, filling Talon’s ass. “Mine,” he shouted.

  Chapter Five

  Waking up, Jo untangled the blond hair from around his neck. Talon slept half on him, snoring softly. Yawning, Johann poked the other male in the ribs.

  “What?” Talon moaned.

  “We should check on Jill and see what time it is. We have to do inspection before we depart for Quatron Four.”

  Talon raised his head. “We need to talk to Jill.”

  “I know.”

  “What if she doesn’t forgive us?”

  The fear he felt was mirrored in Talon’s eyes. “She has to—she’s our mate and I didn’t use protection when I took her.”

  Talon’s lips curled up. “I noticed, but I don’t think Jill thought of it.”

  “Do you mind that I want to be the father of her child?”

  “You should be the father…of the first child.” Jo met Talon’s gaze as he thought about Jill carrying Talon’s child. Jo grinned. “The two of you will have a beautiful child.”

  “All of our children will be beautiful.”

  “If we can convince the mother to stay after she learns the truth,” Jo muttered.

  * * * * *

  Jill stepped from the bathroom to find her two lovers lounging on her bed. They both wore pants and nothing else except satisfied smiles. Her eyes feasted on the hard, muscled chests.

  “So you finally woke up,” Jill said smiling at them.

  “You fell asleep before us,” Jo replied.

  “I bet I did.” Jill would be willing to bet Johann had fucked Talon long and hard before letting him sleep. She was sorry she had missed it.

  Johann grinned and slid from the bed, sauntering toward her. “Jealous?”

  “Maybe.”

  “We’ll make it up to you.”

  Jill’s stomach growled. “You could start by making breakfast, or is it dinner?”

  “Okay.” Jo’s eyes turned serious. “Then we need to talk.”

  Unease settled in her stomach as she followed them to the galley. Talon submerged three condensed meals in boiling water as Jo set the table. Meals on the Alantia consisted mostly of condensed foods. They weren’t horrible but they weren’t home cooking either. At least, she didn’t have to worry about watching her weight. She didn’t eat enough to gain weight except when Jo smuggled the contraband chocolate off Fa’Retnel. She’d gained two pounds that trip but she’d been happy.

  Her eyes flickered back to her lieutenants. “It must be something bad. Even when you two pretended to follow orders, you never made our food without a fuss.”

  Talon’s nervous gaze flickered to Johann and her heart sank. What was wrong? Had they decided to leave after all?

  No one spoke as Talon placed the meals on the stainless steel table. Processed meat and limp veggies. Jill grimaced. “Umm appetizing.” She picked at the food in her container. Glancing up she noticed neither of them were doing any better. “Just say it.”

  “Say what?” Jo asked.

  “That you’ve changed your mind.”

  “We haven’t changed our minds—not about you. That will never happen,” Talon promised.

  “We fear you’ll change your mind about us,” Jo replied.

  “Why would I change my mind?”

  “We’ve been less than honest with you.”

  Jill raised her brow. They’d lived on the same ship for the last six months. She knew them better than she knew anyone. What could they have done that would make her change her mind about them?

  “It all started a year ago on E’Joaya.” Jill’s eyes flashed to Talon. Marco, her brother had been killed on E’Joaya. Please god, tell me they didn’t kill Marco.

  “We are…were soldiers. There was an uprising on E’Joaya after some mercs were hired to overthrow the established government. Something went wrong. A lot of people died and we went in to clean up the mess. Part of our mission was to find any remaining mercs. Most of them were dead when we arrived. Two were still alive. One of them was your brother.”

  “Marco,” Jill whispered closing her eyes. “Tell me you didn’t kill him.”

  “Kill him. No. We were sent to rescue them but it was too late. He was hurt.” Jo swallowed audibly. “It was bad. There was nothing we could do but make him comfortable.”

  Jill began to shake. She’d often wondered about Marco’s death. How and why it had happened. Now she was about to find out the truth. She licked her suddenly dry lips.

  “We injected him to kill the pain and he began to talk. He spoke of you. He made us promise to get the title for Alantia to you.”

  “Why didn’t you just tell me?” Jill asked.

  “His death was so fresh when we first saw you. I wanted—we wanted—to get to know you. If you had known the truth, every time you looked at us, you would have seen your dead brother.” Jo shook his head. “We hated keeping it from you.”

  “Hell, we fell half in love with you just hearing Marco describe you and then we saw you.” Talon reached for her hand but she pulled back.

  “We pulled some strings and resigned from Corps and got Space Command to hire us.”

  Jill stood and paced the room. They’d known all along what had happened to Marco. They’d witnessed her suffering and kept silent but they’d been there to keep her sane, to help her with Alantia. If it wasn’t for them she’s have tucked tail and returned to Alpha Delta. They were soldiers. They were soldiers, but they’d given up their commission to help her.

  “We never meant to hurt you.” Jo approached. His dark eyes glittered with pain.

  Jill nodded. “I know.”

  “Can you forgive us?”

  Jill swallowed, her gaze roving from Jo to Talon. She was glad they were with Marco at the end. In her heart, she knew they had done everything they could for her brother. They were right in thinking she would have associated them with Marco’s death if they had told her the first day they met. Really, there was nothing to forgive.

  Jill swiped her hand across her cheek. She hated crying. It made her look horrible. She sniffled. “You ask for my forgiveness but I can’t give it to you. There is…”

  “It will take time but don’t turn your back on us,” Jo ple
aded. “You can have time. Time to think about it but don’t shut me—us—out of your life.”

  Jill shook her head. “Jo, there’s nothing to forgive.”

  “What?”

  “You helped my brother and you helped me. There is nothing to—” Jo swung her up in his arms and Talon stepped forward, wrapping his arms around them both.

  Jill sighed, closing her eyes, absorbing their heat and accepting their comfort. The truth was a relief. Marco hadn’t died alone. She took a deep breath. Marco was at peace and so was she. Finally, she was where she belonged. She’d always dreamed of finding a man she could love, a man who would be there when she needed him, not off chasing the stars. A secret smile tugged her lips. She’d found not one man but two she could love and trust. “You gave up Corps to be with me?”

  Talon grasped her chin, meeting her gaze. “We were tired of chasing stars.”

  “We should do inspections and get on our way to Quatron Four.”

  “Are you in a hurry?”

  “They perform group binding ceremonies there,” Jo replied.

  “Oh.”

  “You do want to bind with us?”

  Jill grinned and nodded.

  “That’s good because I’d hate to tell my son that his mother refused to join with his father.”

  “Jo!”

  “I didn’t use protection.”

  Jill’s heart thumped. “A baby?”

  Jo nodded. “When the time is right.”

  Jill felt Talon’s eyes on her and turned to meet his gaze. Suddenly she realized he had penetrated her mouth and ass but not her pussy. She knew Jo was possessive, controlling and she loved that side of him but she didn’t want Talon left out. Talon might want a child. “How do you feel about it?”

  “Our children will have one mother and two fathers to love them. Some will be dark.” Talon rubbed Johann’s cheek.

  “Some will be golden.” Johann grinned.

  “All will be loved.” Jill agreed.

  “I wish to father the first child,” Jo said.

  “What a surprise. Talon, I’m sure you’re shocked to hear he wants to be first,” Jill replied humorously.

  “It is hard to imagine.” Talon arched his brow as he took a step back.
