Embracing the Celestial Way [Celestial Nights 2] (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting)

by Rebecca Joyce

  “You never answered my question,” he whispered, concerned, as his fingers lightly touched the mark he left on her neck.

  “I know,” she replied, cautiously. She wanted so much to say yes to him. To live the rest of her life here in Celestial with Hercules, but something inside her stopped her from saying the words. She didn’t know why she hesitated, but her silence was enough to cause Hercules to walk away.

  Chapter Seven

  Hercules needed something. He didn’t know what it was, but if he didn’t get a release soon, he feared he was going to snap. He wanted so much for Savannah to say yes, but she didn’t. He could still smell her all over him as he walked aimlessly through the crowd. Everyone in his path seemed to know what he didn’t, as they all gave him a wide berth. He was thankful for that, because he was in no mood to stop and talk to any of them.

  He had bared his soul to her, and yet it wasn’t enough. He didn’t know what more he had to do, but he felt as if time was slipping away from him.

  Moving fast with intent, Hercules looked ahead to see Virgo making a beeline for him. He, too, looked like he had a lot on his mind, and Hercules wondered what could be bothering him. Stopping before him, Hercules and Virgo both said at the same time, “I need you.”

  It was those three little words that gave Hercules hope, a purpose, and with the blatant intent in Virgo’s eyes, Hercules knew his romp in the woods was just beginning. Letting go of the hurt from a few minutes ago, he nodded and replied, “I know just the place.”

  Grabbing Virgo’s hand, Hercules led him away from the Pickle festival and toward the Flowering Tea Pot. Oh, Hercules knew that the small structure was used to wine and dine a loved one, and Moon Goddess put a lot of effort and consideration into it when she created the place. It had been said that if any lovers happened to give themselves up to the Cosmos while under the Flowering Tea Pot’s roof, the Universe would bless their union forever. However, Hercules didn’t give a damn what the cosmos or the universe did. He wanted Virgo, and it was the only private place around.

  Pushing the oval door open, Hercules stopped dead in his tracks as he spied a beautifully-made bed before him. Typically, the place was for a small unique, dining experience. He had never heard of a bed being in the Tea Pot. Yet, there it was, standing in the middle of the oval room.

  “You don’t think,” Virgo, muttered looking at the bed.

  “With Moon, who knows,” Hercules replied. “And at this moment, I don’t care. I need you so much right now. I wouldn’t care if all we had was a dirt floor to use.”

  “Agreed,” Virgo said, pulling him deeper into the room. “Now strip.”

  Hercules didn’t take long to strip out of his wet shorts, nor did he see Virgo wasting any time. Within seconds, both men were gloriously naked, and running their hands up and down their very enthusiastic erections, making them both moan.

  “Fuck, Virgo, I’m never going to get enough of you,” Hercules said, then asked. “Please tell me you’re staying. I won’t be able to take it if you leave me, too.”

  Virgo’s hand stopped. “Who’s leaving?”

  “Savannah.” Hercules groaned, stepping away. “I thought she would stay if I paid her some special attention, but she’s still leaving.”

  “Did she say she was?”

  “Not with words, but when I asked, it was there in her eyes. She’s going to leave us.”

  “Then we need to try harder, because I’m not going anywhere, and neither is she. I will just have to make her see that her life is here with us in Celestial. You don’t worry about that anymore. Right now, I need you, and you desperately need me, so come here, baby, and let me make you mine.”

  Hercules actually blushed. Goddess, he needed to hear those words. He needed them so badly. For years, Hercules thought he would live and die alone, with no one to love or to love him back. He should have known that the cosmos worked in mysterious ways, and that the Universe always had a plan. His curse may have made him weak, but love made him strong.

  “Do you remember our first time together?” Hercules asked, running his hands over Virgo’s muscled chest.

  “It was almost three days ago, Herc. I’m not senile yet.”

  “I know. I was so scared that you’d reject me, but you didn’t.”

  “I wanted you, too,” Virgo whispered, reaching up, brushing his chin.

  “I want you to lick me and suck me until I come in your mouth.”

  Virgo grinned. “Will you do the same for me?”

  Hercules blushed and dropped his eyes. “When you made me come that day, it was the first time I really enjoyed sex. It felt right.” Glancing at him, Hercules was relieved when Virgo didn’t seem to find his admission strange or funny. “It was the most wonderful orgasm I had ever had.”

  Virgo pulled him closer, and Hercules sighed as his hand returned and started stroking his thick rod, while he used the other to grab and massage his butt. Hercules loved that Virgo was a passionate lover. He never left anything out, and gave all of himself, every time. With Virgo, there was no more doubt, only acceptance.

  Hercules reciprocated enthusiastically and whispered, “Who goes first?”

  Moving toward the large bed, Hercules lay down and scooted over, making room for Virgo. Just looking at the strong man next to him made Hercules’s heart ache to the point he thought it would burst. Shifting to lay on his side, Hercules moaned when Virgo ran his tongue around his engorged and exposed head of his manhood. Virgo didn’t waste time, as he immediately enveloped Hercules’s dick in his warm, wet mouth and began sucking and licking.

  Hercules reveled in the pleasure of having his slit teased with the tip of Virgo’s tongue and soon rewarded him with drops of pre-cum. Virgo’s hands were warm and gentle as they played with his balls, buttocks, and every sensitive spot in between.

  “I want to suck you, too.” Hercules moaned, shifting on the bed. Virgo’s dick was so long and thick, Hercules couldn’t fit very much of it into his mouth in the sixty-nine position, but he sure as hell was going to try. Alternating between sucking on the head and licking up and down the length of him, Hercules savored every taste and smell of the man he loved. When he had Virgo in his mouth, Hercules rubbed the wet shaft with his thumb and two fingers on either side of V’s cock, driving Virgo wild.

  “Fuck baby, you gotta stop that or I’m gonna come quick.”

  Hercules smiled. Knowing that he could pleasure Virgo as much as he pleasured him was an aphrodisiac he desired. Licking from the tip of V’s cock to the base, his tongue ended at his scrotum and Virgo growled in appreciation.

  Virgo continued to suck, lick, and kiss, taking Hercules’s whole length into his mouth, as Hercules explored new territory by nibbling and licking on V’s sack. Sucking one of Virgo’s balls into his mouth, Virgo almost went through the roof. He groaned loudly, his dick jerked against his chin, and his whole body trembled.

  “Ah fuck, Hercules, that feels awesome. Do that again.”

  Hercules repeated the fondling with lips and tongue on V’s other testicle, and he certainly gave every sign of liking his inventiveness. As Hercules let go of him, he said, “I could stay like this with you forever.”

  Virgo mumbled his assent around Hercules’s dick as a wet finger wormed its way into his ass. V’s skilled tongue circled his glands as he slowly went down on him. His soft lips caressed his shaft all the way to the base and back up, and when the tip of his manhood met Virgo’s throat, Hercules could feel him swallow.

  Releasing him, Virgo sat up and smiled. He pushed Hercules flat on his back and kissed him. From his mouth, V moved down, kissing and licking his upper body, and Hercules just relaxed and enjoyed the feeling of his lover’s lips, tongue, and fingers on his neck, chest, shoulders, and arms. Virgo returned to Hercules mouth, and then kissed his forehead, eyelids, nose, and cheek. V’s tongue tickled his ear, travelled down his neck and played for a bit in the hollow at the base of his throat, leaving a wet trail down his breastbone to his n
avel, while Virgo’s hand played with Hercules’s nipples.

  When Virgo’s mouth suddenly jumped to a nipple and sucked hard, Hercules couldn’t help but cry out, pushing up against him. Virgo carefully pinched the hardened nub on the other side with his fingers, and Hercules realized that the slightly rough play fuelled his lust immensely. Hercules was getting desperate as Virgo painted wet circles on his stomach on his way to his aching cock. V’s tongue teased, with small licks on the exposed head, moving down the shaft to his scrotum. Sucking on his balls, Hercules rejoiced, enjoying the feeling of Virgo mouth lavishing him with his sweet lips.

  Nudging his knees apart further, Hercules gasped when Virgo’s fingers started to play with his tight hole. Turned on, Hercules looked down and met Virgo’s deep blue eyes. What he saw was intent, happiness, filled with craving. Somehow, the thought that Virgo didn’t just do this to get him off, but that he enjoyed it, too, loved it, craved it, was the last straw. Hercules thought he would pass out from pleasure when his dark-haired lover finally slid his wet mouth all the way down and simultaneously rammed two fingers up his ass. He had no idea why, but it felt divine, and Hercules thought his incoherent cries and arched back revealed as much.

  Virgo went a bit crazy at Hercules’s reaction as he fucked his butt with his fingers and his dick with his lips and tongue, sucking hard as his head moved up and down. Hercules whimpered and writhed and begged and tried to suppress the orgasm which was approaching much too fast. But there was no stemming the tide. All he had time for was a warning cry of, “Stop or I’m gonna…”

  Virgo ignored him, or maybe he was even encouraged, as he moaned excitedly, and Hercules had no way of resisting the wave of ecstasy washing over him.

  Afterwards, Virgo told Hercules that he had felt his dick grow slightly bigger and stone hard, and as the first contractions started in his anus, he stopped moving and just sucked him rhythmically. Hercules roared as he blew his load in an intense and prolonged orgasm, filling Virgo’s mouth with his cum. No one had ever given him such an intense blowjob before, and as Virgo sucked, swallowed, and milked him with his free hand, Hercules reveled in the fantastic feeling.

  Finally, Virgo let go of him after he had made sure to get every drop of his cum, gently licking as his manhood slowly went soft. Hercules just lay there, dazed and almost worn out from the intense experience. Somehow, Hercules knew that he didn’t have to tell Virgo how good it had been, so all he could come up with was, “I love you.”

  Savannah wandered the festival in a daze. Upset and unsure of what she should do, all she could think about was the pain in Hercules’s eyes as he walked away from her. In the time she had come to visit Celestial, she had never thought that she would find one man, let alone two, who would come to mean so much to her.

  When she started this adventure, she really didn’t know what she was looking for or what she wanted. She figured she’d just go out into the world, walk around for a bit, and have a good time. She knew she was taking a big risk, leaving everything she had and loved behind, but she needed clarity. For so long, she lived in a fog, with no direction, no path, then one day, she met the beautiful Raven, and her life took another turn.

  “Want to get your fortune read, love?” Savannah heard a woman say. “You look lost. Would you like to know what the Universe has in store for you?”

  Nodding, Savannah followed the woman to a small table under a large tent. Sitting down, she figured why not, nothing could hurt worse than what she was already feeling. Besides, any information or direction would help, and she needed help, badly.

  “You’re Savannah, right?” the pretty woman said.

  “Yes.”

  “I’m Capri Chantilly. I run The Love Den. Have you ever had your fortune read?”

  “No.”

  “Palms, tarots, star chart…anything?”

  “Nope.”

  “You’re a virgin, then.” Capri smiled.

  “Well I wouldn’t say that.” Savannah grinned back.

  “Oh I know that.” Capri giggled. “I think for you, a universal six card spread will suffice.”

  “Okay,” Savannah replied. “You’re the expert.”

  “I’m going to shuffle these cards, and then I would like you to pick out six of them and lay them face down on the table.”

  Savannah watched as the pretty woman did as she said, and before she knew it, Capri was holding out a deck of cards like a fan before her. Looking at the cards, they looked innocent as any other deck of cards, yet, with so many choices before her, she worried what her fate would be if she picked the wrong one.”

  “You can’t pick wrong, you know. The universe has already seen your outcome.”

  Without further ado, Savannah took a deep breath, and picked six cards, placing them face down as directed. Capri placed the remaining cards off to the side, and picked up the six.

  “I am now going to lay these out in front of you, in the order you picked them. Once shown, they will tell you what you are feeling, what you need to know, and hopefully give you the guidance you are seeking.”

  “Okay,” Savannah murmured, and then said nothing as Capri placed the six cards before her. Beautiful and ornate, the cards looked old, knowledgeable, and scary.

  The first card was a man sitting on a lion, strength.

  “You feel that despite the challenges you have been faced with in the past, present, or future, you will find the strength and courage to succeed. Whether you are recovering from ill health, a broken marriage or relationship, or challenges at work or in life, you will find the will power to come out on top. If you are looking to give up any bad habits, such as smoking or drinking, for example, this is a good time to do it.”

  Laughing, Savannah said, “Well, I’ve never smoked, and I only drink on rare occasions, but the rest of what you said does make sense.”

  The second card was a beautiful woman in a long flowing gown, the Empress.

  “The Empress card suggests that at this time you desire comfort, security, and happiness and may well need some emotional support and reassurance. If you are considering having a baby the desire will be very strong at this time, or perhaps you are already pregnant and you have some concerns. If that’s the case, you can come see me at the Love Den. I also take care of all your homebirth and natural delivery options. But don’t worry, things will turn out fine, just know that you are loved and that there are people around you who care.”

  “Um…okay. I’m pretty sure I’m not pregnant, but thanks for the info.” Savannah fidgeted in her seat.

  “If you would like I can administer a simple test after the reading. I will only take three minutes,” Capri offered sincerely.

  “Uh, thanks, but I think I’ll pass.”

  The third card was a bit scary as Savannah looked at it. A man dressed in some long flowing garb, with a scythe in one hand and a lantern in the other, the Hermit.

  “You are frightened of being on your own and loneliness, and you simply don’t know quite what to do. Take time to relax and in time, you will have the answers. The Hermit signals a warning not to make hasty decisions, so try not to get too stressed, and if you have been unwell this is a time for rest and recuperation.”

  “Tell me something I don’t already know,” Savannah murmured.

  The forth card was dark, with three women hovering around a golden wheel, The Wheel of Fortune.

  “Call it fate or destiny, but the run of good luck or good fortune you are experiencing or about to experience is mostly not of your doing. Enjoy this time. If there seems to be a number of positive coincidences happening in your life, this is known as synchronicity, go with the flow and trust it.”

  “That’s what Raven said.”

  Capri smiled, “She is the Matriarch of this community and is very knowledgeable about everything in the universe.”

  “So I’ve heard,” Savannah replied.

  The fifth card was simple…The Lovers.

  “Are you
suffering in silence in an unhappy relationship or feeling very lonely?”

  “Yes,” Savannah replied.

  “Do you have the courage to make the decision you really know you should make? You have a great sense of duty, but are you happy with where life has led you? I know it’s a difficult decision, but it has to be made. All you need is courage and you will achieve emotional happiness.”

  “It’s not that easy,” Savannah whispered, thinking about her time with Hercules, and the missed opportunity of saying what she truly wanted to say.

  “Nothing worth having is easy,” Capri stated.

  The sixth card was a man in white, carrying a harp with the sun brightly shinning behind him, The Sun.

  “The Sun is shining on you. It’s your time for success, joy, and happiness. You will feel confident and full of vitality. It’s a time to celebrate with friends and loved ones, perhaps enjoy a well-earned holiday, a time of pleasure and good news around children or the conception or birth of a longed-for baby. If you are not feeling this way, take heart, you will enter this period soon.”

  “So what does all this mean?” Savannah asked.

  “It’s rather simple really,” Capri began. “Everything you have secretly desired is right before you. All you need is the courage to grasp it and accept what is to come. When you can do that, the clarity you seek will guide you to your heart’s desire.”

  After giving Capri a hug goodbye, Savannah took in everything the pretty fortuneteller had said to her, even going back to that day at the airport in Denver when she met Raven.

  Life worked in mysterious ways, and Savannah could now agree to that. Life wasn’t much of choices and turns, because the universe already knew which way she would go. What it mattered was her believing enough in herself to accept what was, and embrace the inevitable, that’s what Raven meant when she said, “A person can live their whole life and never experience life. Some seek adventure, but never find the adrenaline rush. Others try new experiences, but never to learn a thing. What you seek has always been right before you. All you need to do is open your eyes and let the universe in.”
