Protecting You

by Berengaria Brown

  A few minutes ago she’d been alone exploring a cave that drew her to it. Now, she was covered by hot male bodies and aroused beyond belief. If someone had suggested she’d be doing anything like this today, she’d have thought them insane. But, nonetheless, it was all happening right now, to her.

  It was way too much to think about. AJ gripped Drew’s shoulders and surrendered herself to the delightful feelings raging through her. His cock was slithering along her walls, arousing her with every stroke. His hips seemed to do a nifty little twist every now and then, designed to crank up the heat inside her.

  As she held Drew, she was connected even more closely to Kristien. She could feel him moving in and out of Drew. Feel the strength of his strokes and how they aroused Drew. She also felt the deep caring between them, the intense love they shared, and once again was stunned that they’d accepted her, included her, vowed to protect her. She couldn’t imagine what protection she’d need, but they both seemed very clear on that, and once again, she decided to let it flow over her and she’d think about it later.

  The men were moving faster now, thrusting harder, going deeper. AJ moved one of her hands from Drew’s shoulder to his hips so she could share more of the link between him and Kristien.

  A climax was building inside her. The sex was so unexpected, so erotic, she knew it would take very little to make her come. She also guessed the men would want all three of them to come together, especially this first time. So she rode her feelings, gently stroking Drew’s skin and accepting the intensity of the three-way link.

  “Now!” ordered Drew, and Kristien’s arm came around to pull AJ tighter against Drew, so the three of them were plastered skin to skin.

  Happily, AJ held Kristien, locking Drew between them, as their hips pumped in unison. The orgasm that had been building deep in her core blasted through AJ, making her cunt grip Drew’s cock hard, milking it. She felt the burst of heat inside her that told her he’d come, then felt Kristien’s muscles clenching and releasing and knew he’d come too.

  All the tension in her body uncoiled, leaving her with a flush of heat and a rush of endorphins. “Thank you both,” she whispered.

  “I think the cave just gave us its blessing,” said Kristien, looking all around them. AJ knew he wasn’t joking but that he truly believed it.

  “Thank you, cave. Thank you stones,” she whispered in reply.

  They made their way back down the cliff and across the beach, then swam out around the rocks to the sandbar. The tide was on the way out, exposing some of the sand, so they sat there for a few minutes to rest before continuing back to the main beach. By the time they arrived, Edmund and Utah were there, setting up a gaily-colored beach shelter. Utah, whose skin was deeply tanned, sat in the doorway, blocking the exit, keeping the baby safely in the shelter, where Mavis, whose skin was as fair as her brother’s, and Edmund stayed in the shade.

  Drew, Kristien, and AJ dropped onto their towels, which the others had piled beside the shelter, and AJ showed them all the stones she’d found.

  “I climbed the cliff to the area that was calling me and found a cave as I’d expected. Inside was a stalagmite, and behind that, a cavity. These three rocks were in the hole.”

  Mavis ran a finger over the stones. “Since you sent Edmund and Utah to fetch my aquamarine, I’ve believed implicitly in the power of stones. Each stone is the color of a person’s eyes. The onyx is you, the emerald is Drew, and the amber is Kristien. I understand that. But there’s more than that, isn’t there?”

  “Emeralds give energy and promote emotional and spiritual balance. I’m guessing the emerald is the driver that holds the three of you together. So Drew is the center of your triad. Am I right?” asked Edmund.

  “Not quite. Emeralds are also the protection stone. I think Drew is the instigator, the key that brought us together. But now that we are together, our job is to protect AJ. Her psychic powers will increase, and from time to time, she’ll be in danger. The two of us are called to protect her,” explained Kristien.

  “I knew your powers would increase. You’re enormously talented. But I don’t like that you’ll be in danger,” said Mavis.

  “We’ll look after her,” said Drew confidently.

  Chapter Four

  Drew could never remember being more content. For years he’d worried he’d never find the right person to settle down with. He’d go out with men or women and be happy for a few days or weeks, but very soon he’d realize once again this person was not The One. Then he’d found Kristien, and he’d been so happy—finally, his Mr. Right had appeared—only to start worrying again when he began to feel the unstoppable itch to have a woman as well.

  He wanted to thank every god in the pantheon that Kristien had understood. He loved Kristien with every fiber of his being, but the urge to fuck a woman would not go away. Kristien had accepted him as he was—more than accepted him—and had welcomed AJ into their relationship with open arms.

  So now he was cuddled up in bed, flat on his back with Kristien held tight to his right side, and AJ snuggled into his left side. Never had he been happier. Life just didn’t get any better than this. Well, maybe it would get a tiny bit better if they changed it up from cuddling to something a little more physical.

  “How sturdy do you reckon this bed is?” he asked.

  “Well, I wouldn’t advise jumping on it, but if you’re thinking what I’m thinking, it should be fine,” Kristien answered.

  “You don’t want it banging into the wall either, unless you plan to wake up the baby and have everyone else in the house know exactly what we’re doing,” AJ said.

  “Good point.” Kristien sat up, opened the nightstand drawer, and pulled out condoms and lube. His cock was already standing up, Drew noted happily, watching as Kristien rolled on a condom, then slathered lube over the top. Drew looked at AJ. She was watching too, the tip of her tongue flicking along her lips. Drew just bet her pussy was dripping with cream.

  Kristien grabbed the pillows and shoved one between the headboard of the bed and the wall and the other behind his back as he leaned against the headboard. Kristien widened his legs, planting his feet flat on the mattress. “All right, Drew. Climb on up, and let’s get this show on the road.”

  “But you haven’t prepared him,” AJ said.

  “Were you looking forward to watching that? I think he’ll still be opened and ready, but why don’t you check it out yourself,” Kristien said, handing AJ the lube.

  “Me?”

  “Go ahead,” said Drew, rolling over so they could both see his pucker. His cock scraped along the sheet, and he nearly came on the spot. Having the two of them watch him was beyond arousing. He would have to be careful, or he really would lose it when AJ touched him.

  A gentle palm stroked over his ass, and he groaned. Damn, AJ was sweet. Then a slippery finger touched his ass, and he ordered his mind to behave, making sure he was ready to be penetrated. He wasn’t going to spoil the party for them, and besides, he wanted to come inside her, not on the sheets like a teenager.

  AJ’s touch was softer, lighter than Kristien’s, but her slippery finger still dived into his hole just as enthusiastically as Kris’s ever did. She was also just as quick to add a second and third finger too. But then she teased, sliding them round and round, massaging the rim, the muscles, the tissues in a constantly changing pattern that prevented him from anticipating her next move.

  Just when he thought he’d have to tell her to stop, Kristien did it for him. “Enough. Let’s keep this party moving.”

  AJ sighed, but her fingers slipped out of him. For a moment, he shivered at the emptiness and loss, and then he rolled over and crawled down the bed to Kristien.

  “Face me and sit down,” said Kristien.

  Drew straddled his lover, then slowly lowered himself, letting Kristien guide him so Kristien’s cock slid into Drew’s waiting hole.

  AJ gasped, and Drew wished he could see her face. She was going
to be so very wet when he entered her. He could hardly wait to be inside all that slick heat. “Oh, condom,” he said, realizing what he’d forgotten.

  AJ came around the bed and handed him one. “These are truly boring rubbers. We need to get something a little more exciting. Textured ones or edible ones. I could sure go for a chocolate condom about now.”

  “Or glow in the dark. We had a box of them one Halloween. They were a lot of fun,” Drew said.

  “We’ll shop tomorrow. Right now we need to get you on the top of the pile, AJ, and keep the action moving along. I’m dying here,” said Kristien in a deep, husky tone.

  AJ climbed on the bed and straddled the two men. Drew held her arm as she wiggled her way down, until he could nudge his aching dick into her slit. “At last,” he breathed as he pushed through her swollen, hot entry and sank deep inside her cunt. “That feels so good.”

  “I hope I’m not too heavy. Perhaps I should take more of my weight on my feet.”

  Drew grabbed her tighter. “Don’t move. If you move I’ll explode, and I want to get a few strokes in first. And you’re not heavy anyway.”

  “Why do women always worry about their weight? There’s nothing sexy about a skeleton. Men like breasts and curves. Something to hold onto,” said Kristien.

  “You too?” asked AJ.

  “Of course. Just because I prefer men doesn’t mean I don’t look. You’re a mighty fine looking woman, AJ.”

  “Hell yes. Don’t you dare go on a diet.” Drew loved her rounded ass, curved hips, and luscious breasts. He leaned forward and buried his face between her mounds, inhaling deeply, loving her special, unique scent. Then he wrapped both arms right around her and Kristien, uniting the three of them into a single unit.

  “This means so much to me, to have you both here together like this, to be surrounded by you both. I love you, Kristien, and AJ, you know that don’t you,” he whispered, kissing first AJ, then Kristien.

  “Oh man, I love you too, and I’m glad AJ has joined and completed us.”

  “I’ve loved you forever, Drew, and I’ll never stop being grateful to Kristien for sharing you,” said AJ.

  Hearing the words unleashed a huge jolt of emotion in Drew. Holding tight to Kristien, locking AJ between them, he lifted up into AJ, ramming himself as deep as he could go inside her, before slamming his ass down onto Kristien’s cock.

  The others gasped, and then Kristien took over, setting a fast, hard pace, using his thigh muscles to keep the three of them moving in synchronization.

  Drew knew this wasn’t going to last long. All three of them were highly aroused, all teetering on the brink of orgasm. Their emotions were almost a tangible blanket in the room, as evident as the scent of sex.

  Holding tight, they lifted up and down, using their feet and thigh muscles, as they pounded in and out. AJ’s cunt gripped him tighter than a vise, and he clenched his own ass muscles on Kristien’s cock. But really, it was over far too soon. AJ rippled around him, milking him hard, causing him to lose the tiny bit of control he’d still been holding onto.

  As he came, Drew felt Kristien jet streams of cum into his ass and relaxed, knowing they’d all climaxed together. For a while they sagged in each other’s arms before Drew helped AJ climb off him and untangled his legs from Kris’.

  Ten minutes later, they were all asleep.

  ****

  AJ awoke and sat up in shock. Something was wrong. It seemed like only minutes since they’d fallen asleep, but logic told her it had to have been a few hours ago.

  She looked around the room, but nothing had changed. There were no strange lights or noises. She forced herself to breathe slowly and deeply, but the sense of urgency remained with her. She had to go—go to the small sheltered beach. Someone needed her. Something was wrong there. She had to go right now.

  AJ jumped off the bed and raced into the bathroom to get dressed. She put her plastic shoes on and reminded herself to grab a waterproof flashlight and a mesh bag to carry it in from the kitchen.

  As she came back into the bedroom, dragging a T-shirt over her swimwear, Kristien sat up. “What’s going on?”

  “I don’t know but something’s wrong. I have to go to the smaller beach right now. Someone needs me.”

  “It’s the middle of the night,” Drew mumbled.

  Kristien slapped Drew’s ass lightly. “Get your ass into your board shorts. If someone needs AJ, then we have to go to protect her.”

  “Why in the middle of the night? Why couldn’t someone need you in the daytime,” Drew grumbled, throwing clothes off the chair as he searched for his board shorts.

  In a few short minutes, they were jogging down the road to the beach, Kristien carrying a waterproof flashlight in a mesh bag and Drew carrying three towels. They ran down the sand until they were beside the rock wall, dropped their towels and T-shirts, and then AJ dived into the water and swam straight out. She knew the men would follow her, and the need to get to the next bay was almost overwhelming. Never before had she felt a call as strong as this one.

  She hadn’t stopped to think, but she knew where to go—straight out to the sandbar, around the rocks, and into the smaller bay. Fortunately, there was enough light to avoid the rocks, as the surf phosphorescence lit them up quite clearly.

  AJ could hear the men behind her but couldn’t stop to look. The power of the call was hauling her ahead as fast as she could swim. As soon as she reached the sandbar, AJ turned to swim along it to bypass the rocks. The thought of the rocks didn’t bother her. She was certain whatever was dragging her forward would protect her from them or let her see them in time to avoid them.

  When she rounded the point into the next bay, AJ could see a head bobbing up and down on the sandbar. Instead of turning for the beach, she angled her strokes to swim directly to the person. As she drew closer, she could hear an almost animalistic wail coming from them.

  AJ couldn’t understand what was happening, but the compulsion to get to the person was as strong as ever, so she kept swimming as fast as she could until she reached them.

  It was a teenage boy, a spindly youth only a little taller than her and barely able to keep his head above water on the sandbar.

  When he saw her, he lurched into her arms, sobbing, “Help me! Help me!”

  “My friends and I will save you, but you must get control of yourself and do what I say,” AJ said as sternly as she could.

  He nodded and sobbed, clutching at her shoulders.

  “Do you understand? If you hurt me, we’ll both drown. You must control yourself.”

  Again he nodded, and she saw the boy struggle to overcome his fear.

  “Lie on your back and let the surf support you. I’ll hold your head out of the water, but we don’t need to hold your body. The water will do that, if you let it. Just let yourself float.”

  “I can’t swim.”

  “You don’t need to swim. Lie on your back and let the water and your body’s natural buoyancy do the work.”

  The boy rolled over onto his back, and she grabbed his chin, holding his face out of the water. She could tell from his tense muscles and shivering that he was still terrified, but he was trying to do as she’d asked.

  Just then, Drew and Kristien reached them, gathered themselves on each side of the boy, helping support him, and pushed his belly up so his body maintained a more natural angle. Slowly the three of them paddled along the sandbar, well clear of the rocks and into the main bay.

  To AJ it seemed as if it took forever, although logic insisted it was likely not even half an hour. When they finally got to water shallow enough for everyone to stand, they were all rubbery-legged with exhaustion. They staggered up the sand and AJ couldn’t believe what she saw: Utah was running to help them, and Edmund was standing with their towels, holding a basket crammed with things.

  Utah helped drag the boy onto the pile of towels, and Edmund handed them all cups of really strong, sweet coffee. As they drank, Utah pulled more towels from the bask
et, wrapped them all snugly, and tied the last one around his own waist.

  “Now, what the fuck is going on?” Edmund asked.

  AJ looked at the teenager, whose face was still very pale in the gray predawn light. “You could start by telling us your name and what you were doing in the water if you can’t swim.”

  “Yes, ma’am. Thank you so much for rescuing me. I’ve never been so scared….” The boy gulped some more coffee and then very obviously pulled himself together. “My name’s Murray Reynolds, and I’m staying here with my uncle for a week. I’ve been wanting to see the sandbar and the next bay, and at low tide I thought I’d be able to walk out right to it. Well, I waited and waited, and I could wade out to it, and it was awesome walking along it, and seeing the beach and all. But… likely I took too long looking, because when I came to wade back, the tide was coming in real fast and….”

  “And you almost drowned. Why didn’t you wait until someone who could swim went with you? Or someone could take you out on a boat?”

  The boy blushed and hung his head. “My uncle doesn’t know I can’t swim.”

  They all started talking at once, Edmund topped off their cups of coffee, AJ toweled her hair dry, and when the noise died down, she said, “Tomorrow at ten you be here on the beach, and we’ll start teaching you to swim. Meanwhile, promise me you’ll never do anything that stupid again.”

  “Yes ma’am. Truly, I’m grateful to you all for rescuing me. I know I was pretty stupid and could have died. In fact, I was pretty certain I was going to die. Likely I would have, if you hadn’t found me right then. And if you’ll teach me to swim, that’ll be beyond awesome.”

  “Okay, I think that’s enough for tonight. Utah and I’ll walk you home. Kristien, if you and Drew will take all this stuff and AJ back to the house?”
