She was a little bit relieved to hear that but also disappointed. He continued to stroke his hand down her spine, but she could sense him holding back his agitation, trying to force himself to act calmly. She really hoped she was reading him correctly, because she felt an overwhelming need to offer him the same type of trust that Tosh and Baylen gave him. Even though their marriage was only going to be temporary, it felt like something she needed to give him for them both to be whole.
“Would you consider maybe one day…maybe…um, doing something like that with me?”
“Jen,” he said, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her closer, “it’s not necessary. I know some of the things you’ve been through. You’ve only just had the scars fixed. I have no intention of bringing up all of those memories again.”
“I don’t think that would happen,” she said, wondering how the hell she could explain what she was thinking when she really didn’t understand it herself. Hell, she should have left this conversation for later, much, much later. She wriggled out of his embrace so that she could see his face clearly. “Maybe trusting you will help me build new memories.”

Jax wasn’t sure what to say. His instinct was to protect Jenelle from anything that might cause distress, but she did have a point. One thing he knew about the domination and submission games he and Tosh and Baylen played was that they could be very emotionally intense but also strangely cathartic. It had been a very good way for Tosh to deal with the stresses of his medical training. Learning to cope with the loss of a patient, and somehow maintain that professional distance but not lose the compassion required to deal with people in the worst moments of their lives, was never easy for any doctor to learn. For Tosh, being able to relax into Jax’s attentions had often been a type of emotional “release valve” that let him deal with the emotions he needed to keep in check while working.
Perhaps something similar would help Jenelle overcome her fears and memories of the past. Her nightmares seemed to have stopped for the moment, but her decisions and actions were still very much influenced by her life on Earth.
“Tosh, Bay,” he called, knowing his husbands wouldn’t be far away. Judging by the goofy smiles as they wandered into the bedroom, Jax was fairly certain he knew what they’d been up to. The shine of saliva on Bay’s hard cock also suggested that Jax’s call had interrupted them.
Perfect.
“Jen wants to know what it’s like.”
“It?” Tosh looked a little confused, so Jax gave him a grin that he knew would look feral. “Oh, it…” Tosh said with a wide grin of his own as he finally caught on. But then, just as Jax had done, he hesitated. “Are you sure, Jen?”
She gave him a sincere smile. “I think so.” Jax was starting to think this was a bad idea when she added, “I’m not certain how I’ll react, but I really do want to try it.”
“Good answer, angel,” Tosh said as he helped her off the bed and onto her feet. “This sort of thing can stir up emotions you weren’t even aware of, but if you can trust that we’ll keep you safe, I think it’s really worth giving it a try.” He glanced at Jax still lying on the bed and winked. “However, I think maybe I should finish what I started with Baylen first. Poor guy’s liable to get blue balls if we leave him like this.” Baylen laughed but quickly fell quiet when Tosh added, “Would you like to help me with that, angel?”
Her eager nod was an amazing gift for all of them.
Tosh knelt in front of Baylen, helped Jenelle into the same position beside him, and then reached for their lover’s cock. “Would you like to taste?”
Again she nodded eagerly, opening her mouth as she leaned closer to the thick head of Baylen’s cock. Baylen nearly choked at the first soft touch of her lips and tongue. She hesitated, but Tosh was quick to reassure her. “That just means he likes what you’re doing. Go on, angel, do it again.”
This time when Baylen moaned Jenelle opened her mouth wider and took more of him in.
“Shit,” Baylen said on a gasp as Jenelle sucked on the head of his cock and Tosh pumped him slowly with a firm grip. Jax couldn’t just lie back and watch, so he moved to stand behind Baylen, holding him up as Tosh and Jenelle’s attentions weakened his knees and stole his control.
Tosh and Jenelle took turns sucking him, Jenelle taking his cock deeper and deeper into her throat as her confidence grew. Baylen shook all over, and as his orgasm spun closer he started saying Tosh’s name over and over.
“Tosh, Tosh, Tosh, Tosh.”
Jenelle glanced at Tosh without actually releasing Baylen from her mouth.
“That just means he’s about to climax, angel. He’s trying to tell me to warn you now that if you keep doing that, he’s going to come in your mouth.”
She moved away, staring up at Baylen as she asked Tosh her question. “What does it taste like?”
Tosh shrugged, and glanced at Baylen and Jax. He shrugged again. “Salty,” he offered.
She giggled slightly. “That’s the best you can do?”
Baylen moaned, obviously not interested in a debate.
“Why don’t you taste for yourself, baby girl.”
Baylen nodded in agreement with Jax.
“Good idea,” she said with a broad smile a moment before she took Baylen deep into her throat. Baylen practically convulsed in Jax’s embrace, gasping and moaning in delight as Jenelle suctioned her lips around his cock and sucked hard.
“Fuck,” Baylen whispered as his orgasm began. He practically clawed at the arm Jax had around his middle, holding him tight, as his knees gave out and he shuddered violently. Jax lifted him higher, pressed a kiss to his throat, and then lifted him into his arms.
Carefully he laid his exhausted husband out on the bed, smiling at the goofy grin that Baylen wore, and then he turned to Jenelle.
“Come here, baby girl,” he ordered in a voice that he hoped wasn’t too demanding. She wanted a taste of being dominated, but that didn’t mean he planned to scare the hell out of her. She came willingly, moaning softly when he grabbed both of her nipples between his fingers and thumbs.
Tosh held her up as she panted harder, the urge to pull away from the sharp sting very obvious in her movements. But Jax also saw what he needed to see in her eyes. Her instinct may have been to back away, but the pain was morphing into pleasure even as he watched.
“Good girl,” he whispered as he finally leaned over to press a kiss to her lips and released the pressure. “Tosh is going to fuck you while I use the flogger.”
Tosh looked especially pleased as he lay down on the bed and encouraged Jenelle to climb over the top of him. He reached a hand between them, smiling as his fingers sank into her wet pussy. Jax stood back, watching the two of them as Tosh kissed their woman and used his hand to bring her back to the very edge of orgasm. She was shivering slightly as he pushed his cock into her pussy gently, both of them sighing as she sank down, taking his full length inside her.
Slowly, lovingly, they fucked each other, taking and giving as Baylen watched sleepily and Jax turned to the toy cupboard. He chose a soft flogger, testing it first on his forearm to be certain it didn’t sting too much. Satisfied with his choice, he turned back to observe them together for a while longer, watching his husband’s cock sink deep into their soon-to-be wife’s soft, wet pussy and remembering how amazing she’d felt wrapped around his own cock.
He stepped closer, ran a hand down the now scar-free expanse of her back, and then followed with the soft lengths of the flogger. She shivered, moving faster onto Tosh as Jax dragged the flogger’s soft strands up and down her spine and then dipped them lower to caress her ass. He flicked his wrist, the soft strips landing against her bottom, the small gasp from her satisfying something deep inside him. He moved again, striking the tops of her thighs, loving the honest and genuine responses.
Tosh must have sensed her enjoyment, perhaps felt her pussy spasm as her orgasm rolled closer, because he wrapped his arms around her, holding her against h
im, trapping her for Jax’s attentions. He nodded to Jax to continue, and it was all he could do not to come himself. Fuck. He’d thought their lives were perfect, but Jenelle was somehow the piece of them they’d never missed until they’d found her.
Now he didn’t want to think of life without her.
He lifted the flogger, concentrating on her ass and thighs, grinning as Tosh held her down and Jenelle moaned in pleasure.
* * * *
Surely this was some sort of joke. Jenelle had never even imagined there could be this much pleasure to be found in pain. She was moving into the blows, her ass lifting even against the hold Tosh had on her. Far from feeling frightened, Jenelle felt ready to fly.
Holy heavens.
She screamed as her orgasm began, the flogger moving harder and faster over her flesh as Tosh began to fuck her in earnest. He moaned a deep sound, the soft hits of the flogger likely touching his flesh as well.
“Kiss me,” Tosh demanded as he lifted up and took her mouth with his own. He thrust his tongue deep, forcing her mouth open wider, his cock doing the same in her pussy. Her heart racing, her blood pounding, her mind reeling at the overwhelming myriad of sensations, Jenelle finally exploded into orgasm, her limbs no longer under her control, her movements no longer hers to choose. Tosh groaned, Baylen and Jax groaning with him as he sped up his pace and fucked her like a man possessed.
Over and over, wave after wave of ecstasy washed through her, the incredible climax going on and on, her lovers caressing, flogging, fucking her senseless. Tosh shouted as he came, flinching as the flogger landed where they were joined, the delicious sting throwing them both over the edge once more.
“Fuck,” he whispered as he finally stopped moving and wrapped his arms around her to hold her close. She could barely comprehend the emotions going through her as her body finally began to relax. She pressed her face against the tattooed symbols of Tosh’s union to Jax and Baylen and actually felt like she belonged here. Slowly they both came down from the heights they’d reached, caressing each other lazily as Jax coated his cock in lube, grabbed Baylen, and flipped him onto his stomach.
Baylen moaned as his husband took him hard and fast, screaming through his own orgasm as Jax fucked him into the mattress and Tosh and Jenelle watched.
Jenelle smiled sleepily as Jax finally maneuvered the three of him into his arms the same way he’d held them the other night. Baylen pressed a kiss to her lips and smoothed away the silly tears that filled her eyes. It was probably selfish of her to feel so happy considering this was only a temporary thing, but she’d never felt so loved, so wanted, and so at peace. With that last amazing thought held firmly in her mind, Jenelle relaxed into their care and let sleep take her.
* * * *
Several hours later, Tosh played with Baylen’s hair as he rested his head on Tosh’s thigh. He was trying hard to concentrate on what he was reading, but his thoughts kept wandering back to the woman lying in the bedroom in their husband’s arms. Thank the goddess they’d thought of how she might react before they’d dragged her in front of an audience and claimed her. Hell, he knew Jenelle considered their joining as one of convenience, but it was obvious that Baylen and Jax were as emotionally invested in claiming Jenelle as their mubella as he was. Terrifying her in front of an audience was not the way they’d wanted to start their marriage. They loved her and most definitely planned to keep her.
But their joining had been everything he’d ever dreamed it could be and more, so much more. For a woman with such horrific violence in her history, the trust she’d given Tosh and Jax had been the most amazing gift he could ever have asked for. It only proved that she was exactly where she was meant to be.
If only the stubborn woman could see past her own concerns about her infertility. It was obvious she considered it a fatal flaw for any relationship. Being unable to produce offspring was not something that affected the way Tosh, Baylen, or Jax felt about Jenelle, but it was obvious it affected the way she felt about herself. If only he could find a solution.
Many years ago Desconian medicine had briefly concentrated on creating external incubators and artificial wombs, but so far the information Tosh had been able to dig up hadn’t been very promising. Considering that most Desconian women had a problem with poorly developed ova rather than a malfunctioning uterus, the research seemed to have been abandoned. But it did leave him with enough hope to keep trying. Right now he was scouring hundreds of gigabytes of information from ancient medical texts from Earth in the hopes of maybe finding something that would lead him to a solution.
The chiming of the front door was unexpected.
“I’ll get it.” Baylen rolled off the sofa and onto his feet. A few moments later he came back into the room. “Look who I found loitering at our front door.”
“Galeena,” Tosh said warmly as he abandoned his research and went to greet Jax’s sister and her husbands, Tyler and Alekai. “We weren’t expecting to see you three until the claiming ceremony.”
“Yes, well,” Galeena said, glancing around the room, most likely looking for her brother, “we have a bit of exciting news, so we thought we’d drop by early.”
“News?” Baylen asked with a broad grin. Tosh knew exactly what Baylen was thinking but unfortunately knew enough about Galeena’s medical history to know that she wasn’t here to announce a miracle pregnancy.
Tyler reached out and pulled his wife into his arms. “We’ve decided to move back to the capital. As nice as it is to live and work halfway across the planet, it’s just too far away from our families,” Alekai said with a wide grin.
“And now that you’re claiming a human mubella,” Galeena added excitedly, “I have every intention of being close enough to spoil my nieces and nephews rotten.”
Baylen’s smile slipped from his face, and Tosh struggled not to show the fear he was feeling. Hell, he prayed Jenelle was still sleeping. His concern was partially allayed when Jax came into the main area to greet his sister, picking her up and giving her a tight hug before whispering something in her ear. Tosh had no idea what he might have said, but Galeena’s smile faltered as he put her down.
“Where are you staying?” Jax asked, changing the subject with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer.
“We’re over at my parents’ for the moment,” Tyler said as his wife stepped back into his embrace. He gave Jax a concerned stare, but Jax didn’t react. “It will take some time to get everything organized, but we had an eye on one of the apartments in this building.”
Had. Tosh didn’t miss the past tense. Even without knowing what Jax had said to Galeena, Tyler was revising the good news they’d come to share. It would have been great for Jax to have his sister nearby. They’d always been close—on a planet with so many fertility issues, having a sibling was quite rare—and Jax had missed her a lot when she’d moved away.
“Jenelle wanted to have a quick shower,” Jax said with a meaningful glance at Baylen. “She’ll be out soon.” Baylen nodded to the unspoken request and then went to join her. With everything she was likely to be feeling at the moment, she shouldn’t be left alone to worry needlessly. If she’d overheard Galeena’s main reason for moving back to the capital, she might even be trying to find a way to back out of marrying them.
That was not acceptable.
* * * *
Baylen moved into the shower area slowly. He didn’t want to startle Jenelle—they’d been giving her plenty of privacy since she’d moved in, hoping to ease her into their lifestyle—but he needed to know she was all right. He stepped around the corner and nearly lost his breath as he stared at her beautiful body. It had been barely two hours since Jax had made love to him in the bedroom, but Jenelle had his cock standing to attention immediately.
“Do you need some help?” he asked hopefully. She seemed startled by his presence but smiled quickly.
“I think I remember how, but since Jax and Tosh seem to have reduced my brain to jelly I could be mistaken.”
Baylen grinned, grabbed the shower gel, and stepped closer. “They do have a way about them, don’t they?”
“That they do,” Jenelle said with a sigh as Baylen smoothed the gel carefully over her back and shoulders. “What’s Jax’s sister like?”
“Sweet, loving, and the only person I know who can pull him back into line when he gets too bossy.” He smoothed the gel lower and reconsidered. “Well, she used to be the only person. I suspect you might have that ability, too.”
She laughed softly. “I’m not so sure about that.” Turning in his arms, she shivered as he smoothed the soapy bubbles over her breasts. She glanced down at his hands and laughed self-consciously. “I’ve never been in a shower with anyone else before, yet this feels perfectly natural. My brain is most definitely mush.”
“Or you just find me irresistible,” he teased.
“That, too,” she said as he slid his hands lower and massaged soap into the soft hairs that covered her mons. She gasped softly when he grazed a finger over her clit.
“Are you sore?” he asked as concern drilled through him. Jax and Tosh had been careful not to hurt her, but it wasn’t like she’d had a lot of practice.
“Not sore,” she said, “just surprised.”
“Surprised?”
“Well, I…” She blushed a very appealing shade of pink before managing to finish the sentence in an embarrassed rush. “I didn’t get around to watching the more intimate instructional videos.”
“Ah,” he said, not really shocked. Her reaction to orgasm had certainly pointed to that conclusion. “Why didn’t you watch them?”
“With my fertility issues, I didn’t think I’d ever be claimed. Watching what I couldn’t have just seemed kind of masochistic.”
“Hmmm,” he said as he grazed a finger over her clit again, watching her eyes darken as her arousal grew. “Perhaps you need a ‘makeup’ class.” She sighed and nodded, then closed her eyes. “Are you ready for your first lesson?”
