  “I heard a sexy moan and when I opened my eyes, I saw one of the hottest things I have ever seen in my life. Fuck, you two look so hot together.”

  “Well, I know something that will look even hotter than Snake and I together,” Oz said with a smirk playing on his lips, making him look even sexier than he already was.

  “And what is that?” Rory asked, returning Oz’s smirk.

  God, he loved watching these two. And if the heat he saw in both their eyes was any indication, he was about to see even more of them together then he thought he would for a while.

  “The three of us, naked on that bed. Our sweaty bodies writhing and undulating as we bring one another to great heights,” Oz answered.

  Rory chuckled softly, the sound going right to Snake’s already hard cock. “I can just imagine it.”

  “No need to imagine it, baby. We’re right here when you’re ready,” Oz replied.

  The mirth left Rory’s eyes and Snake felt his heart sink. He loved seeing the happiness on Rory’s face, but knew his mate was struggling to let go of the past and trust them so he could embrace the present and the future.

  Snake took a step away from Oz and sat on the edge of the bed, then grabbed Rory’s hand. “Hey, sunshine. Oz isn’t trying to pressure you. No one is. He just wants you to know that we’re here for you when you need us. No matter what you need.”

  Rory looked up and met his gaze, then it shifted to Ozcog over his shoulder. “I know that…and…after talking with Wade, I…um…I…”

  “What is it, sunshine? You can tell us anything,” Ozcog said.

  The corner of Rory’s lips twitched in a tiny smile and Snake could see the light come back into his eyes. “I like when you both call me sunshine.”

  “Good. So that’s one thing we have settled. From here on out, you will always be called our sunshine. So what’s bothering you, sunshine?” Oz pressed gently.

  Snake watched as every emotion seemed to pass over Rory’s face as he struggled with what words to use. Finally, as if a thought struck him, Rory’s body seemed to lift, but not tense, with determination and he raised his eyes to meet each of theirs. He took a deep breath then released it. “After what he did to me, and no I won’t be using his name and giving him any more power, but after what he did to me and everything he has taken from me, I still don’t know if I am ready to take that step into intimacy. But I can tell you that I want to. I really want to…with both of you, but I’m afraid. Afraid that when the moment comes that the visions will come back and stop us. I’m afraid that I’ll hurt both of you because I won’t be able to join you, or if I do, I won’t really be present in the moment, but trapped in the past. I’m afraid that because of it, I will inadvertently hurt one or both of you and won’t be able to control it, even though rationally I know I need to try to move on. When I opened my eyes and saw the two of you kissing, first, I was shocked to find that I wasn’t jealous. I have had a crush on Snake for some time now and seeing him with another man I figured would make me jealous, but I wasn’t. And second, the next thought shocked me even more.”

  “And what was that, sunshine?” Snake asked.

  “That you looked so fucking hot together and I wished I could be standing there between you, sandwiched between your two big strong bodies, and know what it felt like to be kissed by you, both of you. To know what it was like to be touched by you. But then, when we started talking the nerves came back and now I just feel guilty,” Rory said, then looked down at his lap.

  Oz moved closer and sat on the edge of the bed too, facing Snake, but looking down at Rory. “You have nothing to feel guilty about, mate. You’ve been through something traumatic and it takes time to learn to live again. To accept life and love, and to move on. And I think Teagan will agree, that it took bravery for you to confess all of that to us, and it will take that same bravery to take your life back, on your own terms and in your own time. But know that we will be here. We’re not going anywhere.”

  Rory looked up at Oz in surprise when he heard him use Snake’s real name. It made him happy to hear it. No one called him that name these days and to think that his two men would be the only ones, filled him with joy.

  “You said Teagan,” Rory replied.

  Oz smiled. “I did. That’s our handsome mate's name and I plan on using it. I think mates should have those special names between them that only they use. Like sunshine and Ozzie. No one else but Teagan has called me that—well, him and Timmy but I can make him understand that only my mates can call me Ozzie now. Usually my chimera call me Oz, or Ozcog, or even captain because I am Suneth’s second in command, but I like when Teagan calls me Ozzie. And I notice that no one calls our mate Teagan, so I figured that could be just ours as well.”

  “I completely agree,” Snake said, his voice husky and deep as he reached out and grabbed the back of Oz’s neck, pulled him closer, then captured his lips in a passionate kiss.

  CHAPTER 12

  God, they were so fucking sexy together. Just their kiss was bringing Rory back to life as his cock filled to the point of being painful and in great need of relief. He sat watching his two sexy as hell mates kiss and his breathing became harsher as his heart picked up speed. Without realizing it, his hand slid under the blanket and found its way to his cock and he began to rub the hard length that was trapped under the material of his jeans. Shit, that felt good. It had been so long since anyone touched him, or he even touched himself.

  Not that he hadn’t masturbated since the rape because he had, but he didn’t do it very often. Sex was just something he tried to avoid at all costs because most of the time it brought back bad memories. And he absolutely hadn’t been with a man since that night.

  But now sitting here watching Ozzie and Teagan, and the heat between them, Rory craved to join them, to be a part of it. A small groan escaped his lips and instantly his mates broke apart and both looked at him.

  Ozzie gave him a knowing smile as he reached out a hand and slid it under the blankets, then gently pushed his hand away from his crotch and covered Rory’s cock with his larger hand, giving it a gentle squeeze. “Oh shit,” Rory whispered in a trembling voice.

  “Mmm, nice and hard, and damn sunshine, did you get on the cock line twice? Because yum, you’re thicker than I would have imagined,” Ozzie growled.

  “Just how I like them. Long, thick, hard, or all of the above,” Teagan added as he slid his hand in to join Ozzie’s.

  Rory’s eyes rolled to the back of his head from the delight of having both of them touch him. Teagan’s hand wasn’t as big as Ozzie’s, but it sure was just as pleasant and sinful. Rory couldn’t help it as his body suddenly felt tight as a stretched cable, but floating at the same time, and he placed his hands behind him on the bed and leaned back, dropping his head on his shoulders as his eyes closed and he began to pant.

  “That’s it, mate, relax and let us show you how wonderful it can be. How amazing it all feels when you’re with someone, or someones, who care about you and only want to give you pleasure and make you feel good,” Ozzie said, and Rory could hear his voice had deepened and was full of desire.

  “Yeah, sunshine, just feel. That’s all you have to do. We won’t do anything you don’t want, and the minute you don’t want to do it anymore, it’s okay and we’ll respect that. But while it feels good, and it does feel good, doesn’t it? Just enjoy it. Let yourself enjoy it,” Teagan added, and Rory agreed. This felt too damn good to stop.

  He must have been enjoying it more than he thought because suddenly he felt a strong calloused hand wrap around his bare flesh, as another just as strong and almost as big and calloused hand slide down between his legs and cupped his balls. The warmth of their flesh against his was delicious, but the way they were making him feel was mind-blowing and…confusing.

  Why was he allowing this and not pulling away? Why was he not shaking in uncontrollable terror and rushing away from them? Why…Oh fuck, who cares? Just be happy you’re not and enjoy it, Rory cha
stised himself, then released all thought except what these two amazing men were doing to him. Rory was a little light-headed and felt dizzy, but he paid attention to his body and how it was responding to these men, and his body was loving every moment.

  He couldn’t hold himself upright any longer and Rory dropped down flat onto the mattress below him as he panted. Cool air rushed across his legs and pelvis and Rory lifted his head, looking down his body. Yup, they had stripped off his pants and he now lay naked from the waist down.

  Before his mind could fully grasp what was happening, a deadly claw appeared before his face, then ripped down the front of his shirt, tearing it in two, and warm lips captured his nipple, causing Rory to forget everything and arch his back into the pleasure.

  Wet warmth wrapped around his hardened shaft and Rory thought his head would blow off his shoulders as his cock exploded at the same time. His cock was suddenly encased in a tight throat that began swallowing and sucking and he grabbed for anything that would anchor him to this world. He felt like he would float off and never be seen again. The fingers of one hand gripped the sheets below as the fingers from the other hand grasped heated skin. Rory opened his eyes slightly to see that he was holding Ozzie’s sexy bald head as his mate covered his chest and abs in sinful kisses.

  He was just barely aware that his legs were lifted toward his chest and splayed open. The bald head from under his hand disappeared, then the bed shifted. His cock was released, but immediately swallowed again, but Rory knew it was different lips wrapped around him and a different throat sucking him into the back.

  Just as he was about to open his eyes and look, a tongue swiped across his tight hole, causing him to shiver in anticipation. No one had ever done that to him. Rory always wondered what it would feel like, but he wasn’t prepared for the mind-consuming euphoria.

  A loud moan sprang from his lips as that tongue laved him again, then teased at his entrance, slipping in quickly, then pulling back. Holy crap, Snake…um…Teagan is eating my ass and Ozzie is sucking me off. And…oh god and nothing. It’s all so…so…oh shit yes. Oh, so good, Rory thought as his mates continued to kill him with pleasure.

  Rory managed to get his eyes open so that he could look down his body again and watch the show, but what lay before him was not what he expected. It frightened him but excited him at the same time. For a moment of hesitation, he didn’t think he could do what his brain and body were screaming for him to do, and in the end, he listened to his brain. The long, thick cock before him, hanging heavy filled his vision, and was purple with need and leaking. Rory knew what he had to do. No, not had, wanted. What he truly wanted to do.

  He saw that Ozzie’s legs were now on either side of his head, almost trapping him in place, but he didn’t feel trapped. Rory actually felt safe. Safe and cared for, and he liked it. He reached up and wrapped his hand around the base of the cock before him, his fingers almost touching, but not quite. Damn, Oz was big everywhere. Gently, he pulled the appendage towards his lips and swiped his tongue across the leaking tip. An explosion of taste filled him, and Rory wanted more.

  Pressing his tongue against the tip, Rory circled the head a few times, then danced his tongue under the helmet, pressing against the band of nerves. The cock in his mouth jumped and Rory heard a deep guttural moan of approval from below. The sound egged him on, and Rory took the blunt head between his lips and began to suck, while flicking the tip of his tongue in the little hole to draw out more of Ozzie’s ambrosia.

  A finger slid inside his ass and Rory gasped. The action causing Ozzie’s dick to slide further down his throat. Rory was able to catch himself before the extra-large cock gagged him. Rory started sucking Oz deeper down his throat while dancing his tongue around the girth. Saliva dribbled out of the side of his mouth and down his chin, and Rory couldn’t give a damn. His mates were focused on him and his body and he was focused on pleasing Oz. He only wished Teagan was within reach, so he could give him something in return too.

  Another finger slowly breeched his hole as the tongue there continued to lick and tease. Small nips on his sensitive flesh made him flinch, causing his cock to slide further down Oz’s throat. Large hands grasped his ass cheeks, pulling them apart, and Oz doubled his efforts, swallowing him and tightening the suction around his shaft. Rory’s head spun from all the sensations and he knew he was about to lose control and blow. He didn’t want it all to be over so fast, but from the way his mates were playing his body like an instrument, he had no choice.

  He tapped on Oz’s leg to alert him that he was ready, but the grip on his ass only tightened as Oz swallowed him deeper.

  Suddenly, it was there. His orgasm shot from him like a bolt of lightning and Rory screamed out around the cock still in his mouth. A moment later, his own mouth was filled with the taste of honeysuckle and jasmine. Oz’s own unique scent was even more potent in the liquid form. It was delicious, and Rory wanted more. He slurped and swallowed trying to get every drop, but it was just too much for him and he felt some of the warm liquid escape his lips.

  His body relaxed once his orgasm was complete, and he felt Oz covering his shaft in licks, cleaning him. It made Rory smile to think his mate was as affected by their dual orgasm as he was and was trying to take all of him as well.

  He felt loose and relaxed and all his limbs slack. Like he had no bones left inside him. Then the most amazing thing happened, Ozzie rose up, his wings spread out behind him and began to flap, suddenly a shower of dust puffed out of those wings and filled the air, surrounding them. As the dust entered him, Rory was momentarily afraid he couldn’t breathe, but then he felt a snap inside his head, like a rubber band and he could suddenly feel his mates. Not just the physical connection, but emotionally. He could sense both men within him.

  Rory took a deep breath and at the same time he heard Snake do the same, then Oz’s large body laid out next to him on his left and Teagan’s large body laid out beside him on the right. And again, instead of feeling trapped like he thought he would, he felt safe.

  “What was that?” Snake asked.

  “That is the way of the gargoyle when we claim our mate, or mates. That fine dust enters each of us and connects our souls for eternity,” Oz replied.

  “So even without sex, like I have heard the other mated pairs talk about, a gargoyle can claim their mate just with that dust?” Rory asked.

  “Yes. So, you see, my mate, you don’t have to worry about me or Teagan pushing you to do what you may not be ready for. We’re both here and always will be and neither of us will push you. We’ll wait for you. Even if I hadn’t claimed you both right now, I believe I can speak for Teagan as well when I say this, we’ll wait for as long as we have to for you to heal and be able to move on. You’re worth the wait.”

  Rory turned his head and gave Oz a tired smile, then turned and met Teagan’s beautiful eyes and gave him the same smile. Teagan ran a finger down his cheek and across his jaw as he smiled back at him. “Did that feel good, sunshine?”

  “Gods yes,” he panted.

  “Good. That’s what it was meant to do. Make you feel good and let you see that Ozzie and I only want to pleasure you and make you feel good. When you’re ready for more, just let us know,” Teagan said, then leaned in and captured his lips.

  Rory loved the softness of Teagan’s lips against his and the wild scent that surrounded his mate. Teagan always smelled musky, but now coated in a fine layer of sweat, it was richer. Teagan teased his lips with his tongue and Rory immediately let him in, their tongues entwining and sliding together.

  After a minute, Teagan pulled back, breaking the kiss, then lightly kissed the tip of his nose, causing Rory to smile. “You taste amazing everywhere, sunshine, but the mixture of you and our Ozzie on your tongue is pure ambrosia. Sleep now, love. Ozzie and I will be here to protect you,” Teagan whispered softly against his cheek.

  “We’ll always be here, sunshine. Get some rest,” Oz said from his other side. His warm breath tickling Rory�
�s ear. Two set of strong arms wrapped around him as their bodies moved closer, pressing against both his sides, and Rory had never felt so comfortable or complete. He let the exhaustion take him and drifted off into a peaceful, nightmare-free sleep.

  * * * *

  As much as he wanted to make love to both his mates, Ozcog knew that what he and Teagan had done to their Rory was the right thing for now. Rory needed action more than words now. Rory heard their promises to not push him or make him do things he didn’t want to do, but he needed to see it for himself. Rory needed them to prove their words to him. And as they did, Ozcog could feel Rory relax and accept what they were doing.

  When Teagan pressed a third finger to Rory’s hole, they both felt him tighten up for a moment and their gazes met. A silent agreement flashed between them that what they were doing was enough for now. It was the first step in proving themselves and neither was willing to push Rory any further. They both doubled their efforts and within moments Rory had exploded down his throat, the taste of apples and cinnamon filled his senses.

  Then his own orgasm surprised him and before he could pull back, slipping his cock from Rory’s warm heat, he came, filling Rory’s mouth with his essence. Ozcog had been so afraid that Rory would freak out and everything he and Teagan were doing to prove themselves to their mate had been ruined, but once again, to his surprise, Rory hadn’t freaked out and tried to swallow all of his seed. Suddenly, without warning, Ozcog’s wings formed behind him and started moving up and down, spreading a fine dust around them all. Oz could feel his lungs tightening and for a moment, he couldn’t breathe. Suddenly, it was as if a band snapped and all three men came once more.

  Now they lay wrapped in each other's arms, both his mates sound asleep. Ozcog was wide awake, waiting for Rory’s nightmares to come so that he could chase them away. But after the sun peeked over the horizon and lit the sky, then a few more hours passed, nothing. Rory slept soundly, and Ozcog’s gargoyle puffed out his chest and preened as if he fought off a great threat and rescued their mate. Oz wanted to laugh at the beast, but was afraid to wake his mates, so he just shook his head, then closed his eyes. His mates were both here and they were both safe. That’s all he could ask for. Wow, his mates. Oz smiled thinking about how he was now officially mated. He knew that they had many obstacles to overcome, but together, they would work them out and be able to live a very long and happy life together.
