Pursuit of Excellence [Spirit of Sage 4] (Siren Publishing Ménage Amour ManLove)

by Jools Louise

  Halfway along, there were two doors, and Ethan was guided through one and into a large bedroom that had its own bathroom plus a corner space where a large couch sat against the wall, there were a couple of comfy looking armchairs, and a state of the art entertainment center and a huge flat-screen television sat on a stand.

  The bed was massive and dominated the room. Ethan felt his pulse throb in double time, his cock reacting like a trooper standing to attention as his mates moved in even closer. Instead of moving to the bed, Ethan found himself sitting on Slug’s lap on the large couch, snuggled into his chest.

  “Here, we forgot to give you these,” Lash said softly, offering Ethan the bouquet. Ethan took it, sniffing the fragrant blooms, and felt his eyes fill up again and then overflow. Lash looked stricken and knelt on the floor beside Ethan. “What can I do to make it right?” Lash asked, his eyes glinting with distress.

  Ethan couldn’t reply, he was too choked up to speak. His mates were being so kind and understanding. They’d brought him some magnificent flowers, the first he’d ever received, and here he was crying like a baby.

  “Are you hungry, Ethan?” Rage asked. “You must be since you’ve been working all day, and I know you didn’t eat much at lunchtime.”

  Ethan tried to breathe, nodding, since he was famished. He’d been too nervous to eat much at lunch, sharing a toasted cheese sandwich with his wolverines up on their balcony.

  Rage smiled, looking relieved that he could help. “I’ll go get us something,” he said and disappeared from the bedroom.

  “I’ll go and help,” Charm said, looking a little uncomfortable, and followed Rage. Ethan gave a half laugh, thinking that emotional outbursts weren’t really Charm’s style, and snuggled into Slug’s firm chest wearily.

  “I’m sorry I’m being such a wuss,” Ethan said after a little while, feeling calmer.

  “Baby, you’re not a wuss,” Slug growled, nuzzling Ethan’s soft hair. Ethan shivered a little at the contact, feeling the touch right to his toes. “You kicked ass a few weeks ago, when our relatives came to town. You can throw down when you need to. It’s okay to feel overwhelmed sometimes, especially around your friends and mates.”

  Ethan tilted his head and brushed a whisper-soft kiss against Slug’s firm jaw, inhaling the spicy aftershave that Slug wore. Slug smelled spicy and earthy and so completely male, Ethan felt himself practically melting against his mate. Slug, in return, let out a guttural growl, cupping Ethan’s jaw, and angling Ethan for a more satisfying smooch.

  Ethan whimpered when their lips made contact, and he tasted mint and coffee on Slug’s breath. Opening wider, Ethan took Slug’s tongue into his mouth, humming with pleasure as they touched. Slug’s arms enfolded Ethan, and he stroked Ethan’s back restlessly, deepening the kiss until they were both moaning with need.

  “Hey, let me have a taste,” Lash protested, sounding amused. “I did bring the flowers.”

  Ethan eased reluctantly away from Slug’s tempting lips, turning his head as Lash hopped onto the couch beside him. Soon he was kissing Lash, as well, their hands moving over Ethan’s body, amping him up even more. He whined, a tiny snarl emanating from his throat, and then he purred in satisfaction when both men kissed him at once, sharing a sexy, sloppy three-way.

  “Typical. We leave you three alone and you start without us,” Charm complained as he and Rage came back into the bedroom with two trays loaded with plates of food.

  Ethan’s stomach growled and he flushed a little in embarrassment when all four wolverines laughed.

  “Come on, stud,” Rage chuckled, tugging Ethan off Slug’s lap, ignoring the ensuing protests. “Quit your bitchin’, guys, our mate needs food. Or do you want him to starve to death?”

  Ethan shot Rage a startled look at the blatant reference to starvation, since they had all ended up as skin and bone after their incarceration one hundred feet below the town.

  Rage arched a brow in response. “What? I like you with a little more meat on your bones,” he said outrageously, waggling his brows teasingly.

  Ethan bellowed out a startled laugh, shaking his head at the man. “I’m glad you approve,” he retorted wryly.

  Rage grinned and gave him a hug, kissing him tenderly. “Oh, I approve,” he said huskily. “Which is why I don’t want you passing out from lack of food. When you faint, it’ll be because you’ve come many times after we claim you finally.”

  Ethan flushed, his cock twitching at the mention of claiming. He wanted to be claimed so badly.

  “Pasta first, then we can concentrate on making love all night,” Charm said gruffly, gesturing to the tray of food. Charm’s spiked hair was tipped in bright red dye at the top and had dashes of orange and yellow at the bottom of each large spike, resembling flames. His eyes were a deep sherry brown, and warm with desire. He had a seductive smile on his lips, and Ethan shivered in response.

  “Pasta first,” Ethan said, causing a visible reaction from all four mates at his tacit confirmation of what would happen that night. He’d waited until he was absolutely sure about his four wolverine suitors, since his history with them had been rocky, to say the least. The way they had treated him during the past few months, how they had been so patient with him, and so caring…he knew he wouldn’t regret handing himself over to them.

  “Here, let me help,” Charm said, helping Ethan over to the small dining area and sitting him down. Relaxing into the chair beside Ethan, the spiky-haired wolverine began to feed Ethan. Startled at first, Ethan read the seductive promise in his mate’s unusually colored eyes and took a bite of pasta, chewing slowly, all the while mesmerized by Charm’s smile.

  One by one, the wolverines closed in. Light strokes along his arm or shoulder or cheek had Ethan’s senses swirling around, scattering like leaves in a sudden squall. He ate his food, the act itself taking on a whole new level of sensuality when linked to what was going on around him. Each of his mates began stripping, sending come-hither looks as they began to play among themselves.

  Charm continued with his gastronomic seduction routine as Ethan watched with wide-eyed fascination as his wolverines unveiled. They were all beautiful, in a manly, hairy, kickass kind of way. Tattoos marked their body in tribal ink, abstract floral designs, and each of their names linked with his on their pectoral muscles.

  Ethan felt his cock throb with a steady, insistent beat and finished off the last of his meal. He licked his lips and took a long swig of juice to wash everything down. Charm kissed his cheek gently and Ethan turned into it, capturing Charm’s lips with his. The kiss deepened quickly and they both savored the blend of flavors as they swapped saliva. Ethan cupped Charm’s cheek, stroking the stubbly flesh gently with his thumb.

  “Keep watching,” Charm whispered, urging Ethan to look at their mates, who were now completely naked and engaged in a display of passionate kissing and cuddling.

  Ethan whimpered at the sight, his attention split. Charm began to pet Ethan, stroking, tweaking, and squeezing as they kissed. But Ethan couldn’t completely look away from where his three other mates were now lying on the large bed, writhing around, as they played.

  Charm lifted Ethan, carrying him like a child into the bathroom, grinning when Ethan protested. “We need to clean you up, baby,” Charm drawled, nuzzling into Ethan’s neck, his stubble tickling Ethan’s skin.

  Ethan tilted his head back, enjoying the raspy feel of Charm’s unshaven jaw against him. Charm began kissing Ethan, humming in pleasure as he peppered soft caresses along the curve of Ethan’s throat, then licked at the exposed skin. “You taste of sugar and nutmeg and cocoa powder,” Charm murmured, growing a little with pleasure. “It’s addictive as hell.”

  Ethan arched his back, feeling Charm pushing aside his collar and delving beneath. Then he was placed on his feet and his mouth was captured once again. Charm’s hands dove under Ethan’s shirt, stroking up his back before sweeping around to the front, brushing against Ethan’s nipples. He gasped at the sensations zinging t
hrough his body, wanting more.

  Charm eased back, asking a question with his eyes, now dark with lust. Ethan nodded helplessly, seeing the responding smile, and his lover lifted Ethan’s shirt off him, throwing it into a corner of the room. “So beautiful,” Charm husked, leaning forward and placing his open mouth over Ethan’s left nipple, licking at it delicately. Ethan whimpered, clutching at Charm’s thick biceps with his fingers, his raking at his skin with his nails leaving red marks as he tried to hold onto his sanity. Charm’s lips and tongue were driving him out of his mind. The man sucked at him, then nipped with his sharp teeth before lapping at the sting soothingly.

  “Hey!” Lash said from the doorway. “You started without us,” he protested. Ethan merely moaned, panting hard, unable to form even one coherent word, let alone a sentence.

  “Charm, buddy, how does he taste?” Slug asked gruffly.

  “Like everything we’ve ever wanted,” Charm replied, his voice taut with desire.

  “He’s so responsive,” Rage said, pushing past his lovers who still blocked the way into the bathroom. “I want to taste his sexy ass.” Ethan opened his eyes, glancing down as he saw Rage kneel, naked, behind him. The wolverine tugged down Ethan’s trousers and underwear in one go and then lifted each of Ethan’s feet so he could step out of them. The garments ended up in a heap on top of his shirt.

  Ethan arched his back, his eyes closing helplessly, when Charm renewed his assault on his nipple, and let out a low, guttural groan of pleasure.

  “Let’s take this into the shower,” Rage urged. Charm nodded against Ethan’s chest, not letting up the sensual torment, and began to back up into the large shower area, which had three shower heads aiming at different heights on the three walls of the stall. Lash rushed forward and flipped the water on, drenching them all.

  Ethan shivered as the cool water hit his overheated skin, but was instantly warm again when Rage, still on his knees, parted Ethan’s butt cheeks.

  “Please,” Ethan gasped out.

  “That’s what we intend to do, baby,” Lash said huskily as Slug joined them under the deluge. “We’re going to please you all night.” He turned Ethan’s head toward him and kissed him. Their mouths clung, hungry and desperate for each other’s taste. Slug moved in on the other side, nibbling along Ethan’s slender neck, nipping teasingly at his smooth skin before heading south and attacking Ethan’s left nipple as Charm did the same to his right.

  Rage grabbed a washcloth and some liquid soap and began washing Ethan in a sensual, highly erotic ritual. Ethan felt his knees buckle as his mind tried to process the explosion of sensations. Only Charm’s arms around him kept him upright.

  “So fucking sexy,” Slug muttered, then went to his knees, fondling Ethan’s thickening cock. Ethan nearly came right then, struggling not to lose all control and embarrass himself. “Hmmm, delicious,” Slug announced before sucking Ethan’s engorged cock into his warm mouth, sucking on it with such skillful finesse that Ethan splintered into orgasm within seconds, his entire body convulsing from the power of his release.

  “Fuuuck,” Lash groaned and his kiss became even more voracious. “I need a taste of that.” Slug popped off Ethan’s dick and rose, his mouth full of cum. With a wicked smile he showed his mates the thick cream on his tongue and then let Lash kiss him. Ethan watched for a moment then joined in, eager to taste the blend of flavors as they shared a sloppy, cum-filled three-way. Slug’s hand was on Ethan’s cock, fisting him firmly and bringing him back to throbbing attention. Behind, Rage had finished his thorough cleansing of Ethan’s ass. Ethan jerked violently when a tongue began probing his hole and another far more intimate exploration began.

  Rage hummed in pleasure, his tongue acting like a tiny penis, pushing past the quivering muscles guarding Ethan’s chute, loosening the tiny opening by increments. Ethan clutched at Charm’s shoulders, holding on for dear life, his head lolling back as his ass became Rage’s playground.

  “Let me try,” Slug said and moved to the rear. Charm moved aside, swapping places, and mouthed Ethan’s cock, sucking it in deep and then bobbing up and down on the thickening rod. Slug probed at Ethan with one finger, crooking it slightly and finding the small gland hidden within Ethan’s clenching hole. Ethan gave a thin cry as Slug teased Ethan relentlessly, nailing his prostate again and again. Within seconds, Ethan felt his cock expand even more, his balls drawing up in preparation, and he came a second time, jettisoning thick ropes of seed into Rage’s avid mouth.

  Ethan vaguely heard the sloppy, slurping sounds of Rage and Slug exchanging cum-laden kisses and he began to slide bonelessly down Charm’s body as his legs gave way, his hands losing their grip on his lover’s shoulders.

  “Bedtime, baby,” Lash said. “First, let’s clean off, then we’ll hit the sack.”

  Ethan nodded through the fog clouding his brain, his body tingling. All four wolverines helped to clean his entire body, kissing him repeatedly in the process, their hands moving restlessly over his wet body.

  Finally they relented and he was lifted into Charm’s strong embrace after being wrapped in a thick towel and then carried to the massive bed in the other room.

  The towel was removed and Ethan was placed, gently, upon the bed. He watched through heavy-lidded eyes as his lovers crawled up beside him, surrounding him with their heat and passion. Before he could gather his senses again, they began to make love to him. Using their mouths and hands, they brought him to a slow simmer again, sucking and stroking and nibbling and licking at him. He felt like a large lollipop that was at their mercy. He was so turned on, even after two searing orgasms. His cock rose lazily once again, throbbing in time to his increased heart rate.

  “I need you,” Ethan whimpered, writhing under the onslaught of his lovers’ tender care.

  “What do you need, honey?” Slug asked, lifting his head from Ethan’s balls where he’d been laving the wrinkled sack with his tongue.

  Ethan lifted his legs, presenting his hole in lieu of an answer. Slug’s eyes darkened as lust swept in and Ethan held his breath. The four wolverine shifters exchanged some unspoken communication, and then Slug nodded, looking almost reverently at Ethan. Slug’s eyes glittered a little, and Ethan was awed to see the hint of tears and such tenderness. He felt his heart melting just a little more, along with the last of his reservations about his four bad ass wolverines.

  Ethan felt naughty and reached between his legs, finding his loosened hole with two slender fingers. He began fucking himself, moaning as he pleasured himself, eyeing the matching expressions of lust and excitement on his lovers’ faces. Slug moved into position between Ethan’s spread legs, stroking the long lines of Ethan’s sensitive flesh along his inner thighs. Slug added one of his fingers to the party, and Ethan moaned more loudly as excitement zipped through him. When Slug pushed a second finger inside, Ethan threw his head back against the pillows, lost in his pleasure.

  Slug removed his fingers and placed his cock against Ethan’s quivering opening. “Leave yours there,” he commanded, and Ethan shuddered as he felt Slug slide in, the length of his cock now anointed with lube, slick and so hot as it entered Ethan, throbbing against Ethan’s fingers. Ethan felt the burn, and a pinch of pain as Slug’s large member pierced him, forcing his inner walls to widen inexorably.

  Slug leaned forward, kissing Ethan with barely restrained passion. Ethan grabbed for Slug’s ass with both hands, moaning as Slug drove deeper still until the gentle slap of his balls against Ethan’s ass signaled he was fully inserted. Ethan wrapped his legs around Slug’s waist. His heels dug into the sexy shifter’s taut cheeks as Ethan ground against his lover. Slug’s kiss deepened and he ate at Ethan’s mouth, voraciously as he began to move. He slid in and out of Ethan’s hole, fucking his mate gently with slow, sure strokes.

  Ethan whimpered at the feel of his hole stretched wide, Slug’s cock thick and long as it traveled in and out. He felt his head turned to the side and was soon kissing Lash, whose succulent mouth tasted di
vine.

  “We all wanted to be your first,” Lash murmured, tweaking Ethan’s distended nipples gently. “Slug has the most self-control.” He sucked Ethan’s tongue into his mouth, and Ethan felt his eyes roll up into his head at the erotic act. “If we took you first, we might hurt you without meaning to.”

  Ethan couldn’t answer, his mouth surrounded by Lash’s dominant kiss, his ass impaled by Slug’s thick cock. He felt Charm and Rage join in the sex play, and soon his nipples were being sucked on, sharp teeth nipping at his tender flesh and then soothed by tender licks.

  Slug began ramping up the passion, his strokes increasing in tempo as he knelt upright, holding Ethan’s legs apart as he fucked Ethan vigorously. Rage fisted Ethan’s bouncing cock, rubbing the tip with his thumb until Ethan cried out at the added stimulation to his already sensitized manhood. With a grunt, Slug jerked, his movements erratic, and then he came hard, spewing into Ethan’s snug chute. Before he’d finished spurting, he sank his fangs into Ethan’s thigh, lifting it high as he bit deep. The penetration had Ethan wailing as the first bond clicked into place. He actually felt it happen, the connection tangible.

  Lash moved in next as Slug fell to the side, panting heavily. Lash’s cock was as long as Slug’s but not quite as thick and slid easily into Ethan’s well-lubed hole. Lash groaned in pleasure as his cock hit home, pausing for a moment to savor the moment. Ethan’s body was slick with sweat, his long brown hair tangled against the pillows. He stared down his body and watched as Lash began to move with Rage still pumping his fist along Ethan’s manhood.

  Lash began slowly, as Slug had done, but soon was lost in passion, his hips moving like pistons as he fucked Ethan’s hungry chute. His balls smacked Ethan’s ass, the sound punctuating the grunts and groans as the lovers mated. Rage got to his knees, and bent his head, slurping at Ethan’s cock now, before inhaling it, sucking hard. Slug began to nibble Ethan’s chest, nipping teasingly at his nipples. Rage and Charm, meanwhile, fought for Ethan’s kisses, eventually engaging in an erotic three-way. Seconds later, with a cry of triumph, Lash released his load into Ethan’s ass, which triggered Ethan’s third orgasm of the night.
