Healing Him (The Den Boys Book 2)

by A. T Brennan

  I came with a scream, shooting on the comforter as I fell forward on the bed. Jonah kept his grip on my hips, forcing my lower body to stay up as my chest rested on the mattress. Aftershocks of pleasure rippled through me with each thrust, and I was sure I would lose my mind if it continued for too much longer.

  “Fuck!” Jonah shouted, humping into me in a frenzied and almost out of control way. A moment later he fell over, pressing me into the mattress as he emptied into the condom, still thrusting into me as he rode out his orgasm.

  When he was finally done he lay on top of me in a spent and sweaty mess of limbs, and I was content to let him stay as long as he wanted. I felt Jonah lift one arm and then Cody was crawling toward us.

  As Jonah moved off me, his spent dick slipping out of my body, I rolled over onto my side so Cody could lay between us on his back as Jonah and I lay on our sides facing into him. Jonah took a moment to pull off the condom and tie it off before dropping it on the bed and laying back with us.

  None of us spoke for a long time, we just lay and basked in the afterglow. After two all-consuming orgasms in less than an hour I was drained. I felt Cody’s lips brush over mine as my eyes fluttered closed and I drifted off to sleep.

  Chapter Twelve

  Jonah

  I could tell the moment Isaac fell asleep. His breathing evened out and he let out a soft sigh of contentment. I had to admit, I was right there with wanting to fall asleep and bask a little longer in the afterglow of our sex, but I wanted to make sure Cody was okay.

  Fucking Isaac’s tight ass while watching him go down on Cody was the single hottest moment of my life. Nothing I’d ever seen or done could compare to being connected to both of my men and sharing pleasure the way we had. It didn’t matter that I’d barely touched Cody and no one had penetrated him, he’d still been ours.

  Gently, I reached out and put my hand on Cody’s slick chest, waiting until he slid his gaze over to meet mine.

  “Are you okay?” I asked softly.

  He didn’t answer, but the real and pure smile he gave me as he nodded spoke volumes.

  “I’m just going to get a cloth. I’ll be right back.”

  Even though it was the last thing I wanted to do, I sat up and climbed out of the bed, grabbing the condom as I did. Isaac was covered in his own cum and I didn’t want him to wake up with it still on him. As amazing as a shower for three could be, I didn’t think Cody was ready, or that Isaac would be up for it.

  When I got to the bathroom I tossed the condom in the garbage and quickly wiped down. I found a small hand towel and wet it with warm water before bringing it back to the bedroom.

  Cody and Isaac were laying exactly as I’d left them, only Isaac’s right arm lay over Cody’s chest protectively as Cody gently stroked his fingers over Isaac’s hand. The move was so sweet, and seeing them together stirred more than just my arousal.

  Cody looked up and caught my eye, smiling as he watched me come to the side of the bed. Between the two of us we managed to move Isaac enough so I could clean him up. I tossed the cloth in his hamper and climbed back into bed with them.

  “Hey,” Cody said softly as I settled next to him, a soft smile playing on his lips.

  “Hey.” I reached out and brushed his long hair back from his forehead. “How do you feel?”

  “Amazing. I had no idea it could be that intense.”

  “What could?”

  Cody shifted so his back was pressed up against Isaac’s front and he was playing little spoon. Isaac’s arm immediately slid around him and pulled him closer as he lay his cheek against Cody’s shoulder. Even in sleep Isaac couldn’t seem to get enough of our boy.

  “Someone else touching me.” He blushed as I took his hand in mine and held it, brushing my thumb over his knuckles as I did. “Feeling Isaac’s mouth. It was... wow.”

  “It’s pretty incredible. I remember my first blowjob. I’d thought I was going to die it felt so good.”

  “Do you like giving them?”

  “Blowjobs? Yeah. Not everyone does, but I do.”

  “And what you did for Isaac...”

  “Rimming him?”

  “I’m not sure what that means.”

  “When I teased his hole with my tongue,” I explained softly, trying not to smile as Cody’s face flushed red.

  “Yeah. Is it good?”

  “It is. Not everyone likes giving or receiving, but I really enjoy both.”

  “I feel so...”

  “So what?” I prompted softly, gripping his hand a little tighter.

  “Inexperienced. You and Isaac have done all these things, know these things and I’m like some naïve kid. I had no idea rimming was a thing. I didn’t know you could do it any other way than from behind, and I have no idea what the fuck Isaac was doing with his tongue when he went down on me but holy shit it was amazing.”

  “Cody, babe.” I waited until he looked into my eyes before continuing. “There’s nothing wrong with being inexperienced. The fact that you’re choosing to share yourself with us means everything. I don’t care that you didn’t know what rimming is, or you’re unsure of positions we can try. I’m here, we’re here, to help you figure it all out.”

  “I just don’t want to disappoint anyone.”

  “You couldn’t even if you tried,” I said softly, and it was the truth. “Just getting to be with you like this, laying here naked and spent, talking, is all I need.”

  “You’d be okay with me not being able to be with you? Isaac said he would but I’m not sure I believe him.”

  “Of course. Sex is a bonus, it’s not the reason why I want to be with you. And I know it’s not why Isaac is with us either.”

  ”Can I ask you something?”

  “Always. You never have to ask permission.”

  “Are you versatile?”

  “Sure. I prefer to top but there are times when I crave feeling someone inside of me.”

  “Isaac told me he’s versatile but doesn’t really have a preference.”

  “He told me that too. What do you think your preference is?”

  “I don’t know. Every time I think about it, dream about it, I’m bottoming.”

  “There’s nothing wrong with that. A lot of men prefer to bottom.”

  “But after everything... how can I want that?”

  “Because it’s your choice now,” I said seriously, shaking off his hand so I could cup his cheek. “You want to experience how it feels now that you’re choosing to give yourself to someone.”

  “Or two someones.” He smiled shyly and I chuckled.

  “Or two someones.”

  “Just watching Isaac, seeing how much he enjoyed that. How much you did...” He shook his head, pressing against my hand as he did. “It was so hot. It made me want to experience that too.”

  “When you’re ready, we’ll make sure it’s as incredible as possible for you.”

  “Thank you, Jonah. I know it’s not easy to be with someone like me—”

  “Being with you and Isaac is as natural as breathing. There’s nothing wrong with you, at all. You’re Cody, the shy, sweet, beautiful and caring man I met at Open Arms. That’s what I see when I look at you.”

  “You’re amazing. You and Isaac both are so amazing.”

  “So are you, Cody. I just hope that one day you’ll be able to see yourself the way we do.”

  Cody leaned forward, tilting his head for a kiss, which I readily gave him.

  Everything I’d said was true. If this was the most he was able to give us, then I’d be happy. I wasn’t going to lie and say I didn’t crave him. I dreamed of being inside him, holding him close as we made love. I fantasized about watching him and Isaac together, and the idea of having all three of our bodies connected was almost too much to think about. I would love to try every position and combination we could possibly think of, with and without a thorough Google search, but it wasn’t necessary for us to be happy.

  As we continued to kiss I could feel
Cody’s energy change. At first his kisses had been sweet and gentle, but then he was pressing closer to me as his tongue darted out to meet mine.

  Considering I had just come less than ten minutes ago, my dick should have stayed flaccid and uninterested, but when Cody reached out and ran his hand down my chest and over my abs before sliding toward my hip, my cock woke up and I found myself half hard.

  “God, Cody,” I moaned against his lips, reaching up with one hand to cup his cheek and rub my thumb against his soft skin.

  “Jonah,” he whispered against my kiss, and that’s when I felt the tip of his hard cock against my thigh.

  “What do you want, Cody?” I asked, pulling far enough away from him so I could look into his eyes.

  “I want to...”

  “What is it?”

  “I want to experience you, just you... if that’s okay.” He bit his lip as he looked into my eyes.

  I desperately wanted to roll him over and bury myself deep inside his tight little body, but I knew that wasn’t what he was asking for. Watching him and Isaac together had been hot as fuck, but I would be lying if I said I hadn’t wished I’d gotten the chance to touch him too.

  “It’s very okay.” I gave him another searing kiss before pausing to give him a chance to talk.

  “Can you...” Cody’s hand closed around my wrist and I waited to see what he’d do next.

  After a pause he gently guided my hand down between us, but stopped right above his groin.

  “Do you want me to stroke you?” I asked softly as lust and desire spun out from deep inside my body.

  “Please,” he almost begged, his voice breathy and desperate.

  Fighting back the shudder that moved through my body at his plea, I gently grasped his shaft in my hand. Cody wasn’t huge, but he had decent length to him, and I had to bite back a groan as pre-cum dribbled onto my skin.

  “Fuck you feel good in my hand.” I grunted softly and gave him a few gentle tugs, trying to figure out what he could handle just then.

  “Fuck, Jonah.” Cody’s eyes squeezed closed as I spread his pre-cum over the head of his dick before teasing his slit with the tip of my finger. “God!”

  I put my other hand on his hip, keeping him still. If this was the first time I’d get to touch him then I wanted him to relax while I gave him the most pleasure I could.

  “I love your cock,” I said, my voice deep and husky, before I could stop myself.

  Cody’s eyes widened as his pupils grew even bigger. Was Cody a fan of dirty talk?

  “I love how you’re dripping for me, how hard and long you are,” I continued, hoping I wasn’t freaking him out.

  “Yes, please keep talking.” He bit his lip as his body tensed.

  I continued to tease Cody with slow, long drags on his dick as I shifted a little closer to him. Isaac was out like a light, but that didn’t mean I wanted to risk waking him up until we were done.

  “Fuck,” Cody hissed, his eyes squeezing closed as one of his hands gripped my wrist and the other settled on my waist.

  “Does that feel good, baby? You like feeling my hand on you? Stroking that long cock of yours?”

  “Yes, I love it.” Cody nodded, his eyes bright with passion as his entire body tightened and tensed.

  I could tell he was getting close, but something was holding him back. The dirty talk might be fun and turning him on, but I could see he needed more from me.

  Leaning forward I pressed my lips against his in a soft kiss, using the tip of my tongue to tease his when he opened to me.

  “You’re so beautiful, Cody. So perfect,” I whispered against his lips. “Just let go and feel, I’ve got you.”

  At my words something seemed to snap into place for him and Cody nodded, his eyes on mine as I lifted my hand and spit into my palm. I wished the lube was closer, but spit would do if all I was doing was jerking him off.

  As soon as I resumed teasing him, pulling on his dick with long, even strokes, his eyes widened and his breathing hitched.

  “Oh fuck!” Cody cried out softly, shuddering hard enough it made Isaac moan in his sleep as his release shot out of him and hit me right in the chest.

  “Wow... holy fuck.” He shook his head when I removed my hand from him. “Wow.

  I pulled him close so we could exchange a few lazy kisses as he recuperated and his breathing evened out. I didn’t stop kissing him until he pulled away, and the smile on his lips triggered something deep inside m.

  “That was amazing, Jonah.”

  “For me too, babe.” I gave him one last kiss and then rolled away from him so I could go and clean up, again. Almost all of Cody’s load had landed on me so I didn’t bother bringing a cloth back for him, and instead crawled into bed so we were in the same position as we’d been before our impromptu hand job.

  My dick was hard and I could easily come again, but I didn’t really want to. Seeing Cody’s pleasure, knowing I had given it to him, was enough, and as I felt my arousal taper off it was replaced by a desperate sense of longing. I wanted Cody in a way he might not ever be ready for, but I’d been telling the truth when I’d said not having sex wasn’t a deal breaker for me. Just having him and Isaac in my life was more than I could have ever hoped for.

  As we settled on the bed Isaac sighed in his sleep, his hand reaching out until it rested on my arm so he could hold me too.

  Cody and I grinned at each other and I shifted closer so I could hold both of my young lovers as Isaac slept. We’d eventually have to get up and get something to eat before Cody went to work, but at that moment there was nowhere else I’d rather be.

  * * * * *

  We didn’t get a chance to see each other again for almost a week.

  Isaac was up every morning at four-thirty for work, and Cody was scheduled for all late or closing shifts. I worked my usual hours, but ended up filling in for Josh’s evening shift at the shelter when a family emergency came up on Tuesday, which was Cody’s only day off that week.

  It was frustrating, but we kept in touch through text and made a point to have our little conference calls whenever we could. I encouraged Cody and Isaac to spend time without me on Tuesday, and was happy when they agreed. The next day Isaac had called me when he’d gotten off work to talk. I’d asked how their date went and he’d told me that they’d kissed and engaged in some light petting, but it hadn’t felt right without me there.

  That had warmed my heart, and put the little part of my mind that was afraid of being left behind at ease.

  The two of them were best friends and they loved each other. They had a history I could never be a part of. While I knew they cared about me and wanted me around, I couldn’t seem to shut the nagging little voice in the back of my mind up as it told me I was the third wheel and would be the one who would get hurt when they realized there was no place for me in their lives.

  The next time we all had free time was Saturday afternoon, exactly one week after we’d had dessert and then lunch at Cody’s place. He was working at six that night so we’d have a few extra hours together, but it was frustrating that we couldn’t get our schedules to sync up any better.

  That Friday I was swamped with work. On Wednesday morning a pair of identical twins named Jordan and Nick had shown up at the shelter covered in bruises and terrified.

  It seemed their mother’s boyfriend had walked in on one of the boys while he was masturbating to gay porn. The boyfriend had started ranting and beating the poor boy. His brother had heard his screams and rushed to help him. He’d taken quite a few hits as he’d tried to pull the man off his brother, and when they’d finally gotten free they’d run. They’d called their mother at her job, and she’d told them to wait for her to come and pick them up and they’d sort out the ‘misunderstanding’. The boys hadn’t realized until after their mother had come to get them that her boyfriend had called her and told her that he wouldn’t stay with her if she let the boys live at home.

  Their mother had chosen her boyfriend
and dropped the boys off at the emergency room so they could get looked at. Then she’d told them they could pick up their things on Friday when she and her boyfriend were at work.

  It had been heartbreaking to watch them sitting on a loveseat, holding each other in shock as the gravity of the situation set in. They’d left the hospital before getting checked out and spent the night at a friend’s house before coming to the shelter for help.

  Both of the twins were gay, but only one of them had been caught. It blew my mind that any mother would choose her boyfriend over her kids, especially since one of the boys had never told anyone he was gay as well.

  I’d taken both boys to see the doctor we worked with and had them checked out. They were bruised and sore, but not really injured. Seeing as they were seventeen I’d called Galen in to work with them on getting a restraining order against the boyfriend, and go over their options since neither of them wanted to go home now that their mother had chosen him over them. The parents of the friend they’d stayed with were willing to take the boys in until school was finished, so it was just a matter of setting them up to make the transition as seamless as possible.

  Josh and I had taken the boys to their house so they could pack up their things. They lived in a small house and it was obvious they didn’t have much, but they’d been strong as they’d gathered their clothes, school supplies, and a few personal items. The boyfriend had broken the laptop they shared in his anger, so I made a mental note to talk to a friend of mine who could get me a refurbished laptop for a good price so the boys would be able to keep up with school.

  “You busy?” Galen asked as he knocked on the open door of my office.

  “No more than usual.” I nodded for him to come in. “How’s it going with the paperwork?”

  “It’s looking good. Their RO went through and the mom isn’t contesting anything. They don’t want to press charges against him and go through a trial, but at least now he can’t hurt them again. I’m in the process of notifying the school of their change of address and getting them set up to move in with their friend.”

  “I don’t understand how any mother could turn their back on their child just because they were gay, but both of their kids? It reminds me how lucky I am.”
