“Choal.” Lennox greeted as he offered his hand. “You look like you’re settling in nicely.”
“Yes, yes we are.” Choal agreed as he tried to subtly look around for Shayde without being obvious. “Not that I’m complaining, Sir. But what brings you here?”
“He accompanied me,” Anubis announced as he came around the corner holding a bottle of water. “I’ve got an old friend in town, and I wanted to stop by. Lennox decided to accompany me.”
“And they stopped here to check in on us and discuss the work situation.” Shayde interjected as he appeared behind Anubis. “We were waiting for you actually.”
Anubis nodded, “But it will have to wait for a short time. I have someplace to be. Can we meet a little later? Say around seven-thirty or eight?”
Choal shrugged and glanced to Shayde, “Sure, I don’t think we have anything planned tonight, right Shayde?”
“Don't think so.” He agreed, “Do you guys want to have dinner with us since you’ll be here?”
Anubis and Lennox shared a look before both agreeing and then disappearing. As soon as they were gone, Choal blanched, “You invited them to dinner? What in the hell were you thinking?”
“What was I supposed to do, they’re still our bosses. They can make life miserable for us, or they can support us and help us figure this all out.” Shayde shot back just as agitated. “They showed up out of the blue, I freaked out, okay. Give me a break here.”
Choal felt like an ass, he knew Shayde was right. It’d just taken him by surprise to see them standing there like that. He moved forward and pressed his forehead to Shaydes. “I’m sorry, are you okay?”
“I am now.” Shayde admitted as he pulled Choal close and dropped a gentle kiss to his lips. “Even better if you kiss me and make me forget for a few minutes.”
“EWWWW, noooo.” Kohen pretended to gag as he entered the house. “Guys, I know you’re new to this whole parent thing, but let me tell you how it works. A kid does not want to see his parental units doing that.”
“You mean this?” Shayde asked as he took Choal’s face into his hands and laid a loud, wet smacking kiss on his lips. “Or this?” he continued as he wrapped Choal into his arms and dipped him backward while kissing him.
Kohen laughed and rolled his eyes, “You guys are so gross. Wait until Bishop comes home and I tell him what you guys did.”
It was Choal’s turn to roll his eyes, “You got homework to do?”
“Yeah,” Kohen grumbled as he headed to his room. “A little bit.”
“Hurry and finish and we can swim for a bit before it’s time to start dinner.” Shayde encouraged, “But you might have to help me teach Choal how to swim though.”
A series of whoops and cheers filled the house as Kohen raced to his room singing about going swimming and dunking Choal.
“Um…. yeah about that.” Choal hedged as he rubbed at the back of his neck. “I don’t know how to swim, and I’m not sure I want to learn from a ten-year-old kid.”
“We can stay in the shallow end, and watch him have fun. Or maybe we can go in the hot tub while he swims. But either way, I promise to stay close and keep you from drowning.” Shayde grinned wickedly.
Two hours later and Choal had to admit defeat. He was exhausted from laughing and trying to learn to float in the pool with Shaydes wandering hands rubbing his back and ass where Kohen couldn’t see. The man was diabolically flirtatious now that Choal had admitted his attraction.
“Looks like I missed out on the fun,” Bishop called as he came to stand beside the pool.
“Bishop,” Kohen called as he raced to the side of the pool. “They were kissing in the living room and I told them they shouldn’t do that in front of me, but they just laughed and did it again. Tell them a kid doesn't want to see his parents do that.” He pleaded with a fake pout.
“They were?” Bishop asked in pretend shock as he glanced at Choal and Shayde as they climbed out of the pool and began to dry off. “Well, I guess I do need to have a talk with them about what's appropriate and what isn’t.” He replied as he moved to stand next to them.
“How was work?” Choal asked innocently as he wrapped the towel around his shoulders.
Bishop grabbed the towel and pulled Choal up against his body, and pressed their lips together. “So much better now.” He whispered before he pulled back and leaned to the side to kiss Shayde. “Hey, baby.”
“No.” Kohen cried out before he burst into laughter. “You can’t do this to me.”
Choal laughed as Bishop taunted Kohen, “What, you mean this?” He asked right before he kissed them both again. “Get used to it kid. I don’t plan on stopping any time soon, and I doubt they do either.”
Chapter Thirty
“I’ll get dinner started after I change.” Bishop pulled his damp shirt off and used it as a towel. “You guys can stay in the pool longer if you want.”
“You worked all day, I’m cooking,” Choal said as he openly stared at Bishop’s naked chest. “But we’re having company so clothes are probably a good idea.”
“Seriously?” Bishop groaned. “Who?”
Shayde scrunched up his face, “Our bosses. They kinda dropped in unexpectedly today and we kinda invited them. I freaked, and well…. They’ll be here in a bit.”
“Hence the reason we need to get dressed and start cooking.” Choal replied, before calling Kohen, “You can stay in for a bit longer if you want.”
Bishop grinned at the kid’s excitement as he followed Choal and Shayde into their bedroom from their entrance to the deck. “How long will dinner take?”
“Depends on what we decide to make.” Shayde answered as grabbed clothes from his dresser.”
Choal groaned as he pulled a shirt out of his drawer, “Does this mean we have to make them dessert too?”
Bishop licked his lips as he studied the half-naked men, “I think my dessert is standing in front of me right now.”
Shayde froze as he turned and licked his lips. “Will it help if I tell you I was a real good boy today and deserve my dessert first?”
Bishop grinned, “You really want to go there right now? You think Choal is ready for that?” He glanced at him and nodded as he saw the same look of desire reflected in Choal’s eyes. “Maybe he is.”
Shayde nodded as he dropped the clothes he’d been holding, “Fuck yes, please. I’ve been dying for a taste.”
“I may not have done anything before, but I know what happens and I agree I want it.” Choal stepped forward and hesitated. “Tell me what to do, please. I’m burning up and need some relief.”
Bishop studied Choal as he told Shayde to get on his knees with his hands behind his back. He knew he was pushing things a bit, but it was better for Choal to see what they liked and if it interested him as well.
“What do you want me to do?” Choal pleaded as he took another step closer.
“Wait, baby boy. Just watch for a minute.” Bishop unbuttoned his jeans, pulled the zipper down, and waited to see what the other men would do.
Shayde whimpered as he walked forward on his knees and nuzzled Bishop’s cock through his boxers. “Please, let me taste you.” He begged.
“What do you think Choal, should we let him? Do you want to see him suck me?” Bishop asked as he ran his hand through Shayde’s hair, before leaning down and whispering in his ear so that Choal couldn’t hear. “You want both of our cocks?”
Shayde nodded eagerly, “Yes Sir, more than anything.”
Bishop stood back up and pulled his jeans and boxers down, freeing his cock. Before he could command Shayde to do it, he was engulfed in wet heat. “Fucking hell, babe.” He groaned as he tossed his head back in pleasure. “That’s it, baby. Take it all.”
“Damn,” Choal whispered from beside them. “That's so much hotter in person.”
“Do you want him to suck you off? He’s fucking great at it?” Bishop asked as he slowly thrust his hips, making Shayde take all of him over and over. “Lose th
e shorts, and lay on the bed.” He commanded, not wanting to give Choal time to think.
Shayde groaned in excitement as he began to hollow his cheeks and use his teeth just enough to elicit a hiss of pained pleasure. “Naughty boy, aren’t you.”
Bishop pulled him off his cock and winked, “Lose the shorts, and go lean over the bed, suck him off for us.”
“Yes, Sir.” Shayde jumped to his feet and raced over to the bed.
“Turn this way so I can get to you.” Shayde grabbed Choals leg and pulled him into position and then looked over his shoulder at Bishop. “Now?”
Bishop stroked his cock as he kicked his jeans and boxers off, “Yeah, show him what heaven feels like.”
A loud gasp filled the air as Bishop moved closer so he could see Choal’s face and assure himself that it was from pleasure and not terror. Choals head was thrown back, hands fisted in the comforter and soft whimpers filled the air. He smiled as he moved to the nightstand and pulled a bottle of lube out of the top drawer. The click of the lid, had Choal’s eyes opening to half slits.
“Are you going to fuck him?” He asked breathlessly, “Please, say yes.”
Bishop grinned as he let the cold liquid drip down Shayde’s ass crack, “I think I will, if you sit up on your elbows you can watch me.” Shayde spread his legs a bit wider allowing Bishop more room.
Choal moaned as he sat up eagerly and nodded, “I won’t last long. It feels so good.”
Bishop nodded as he leaned over Shayde’s back so he could reach Choal’s mouth. “Kiss me, baby, and then come for us.”
They didn’t have to wait long before Choals legs began to shake and he pulled back panting. “Fuck, fucking hell. So close.”
“That’s it Shayde, make our boy come,” Bishop whispered as he nuzzled Choal’s neck as he placed soft bites and licks. “So fucking hot.”
“Oh, my gods.” Choal cried as he plunged over the edge. Bishop quickly captured his lips to muffled some of the sounds.
“Delicious.” Shayde announced as he licked his lips. “Now where’s my present for doing what I was told?”
“It has to be fast, we’re running out of time before our guests arrive,” Bishop warned as he moved to stand behind Shayde.
“I don’t need much prep, I like a little bit of pain. I want to feel you inside me every time I sit later.” Shayde pleaded as he stared into Choals eyes.
Bishop nodded as he coated his finger in the lube and slowly pressed it against Shayde. “Damn, you’re so tight.”
“Fuck me, damnit.” Shayde begged. “Two fingers will be good. Then I want your cock in me.”
Bishop groaned as he did as he was told, he wanted it just as much and he didn’t want to wait and take the chance they’d be interrupted before they were through. He quickly inserted both fingers and scissored them, stretching his tight hole until Shayde was a whimpering, begging mess of a man.
“Choal,” Bishop called out as he lined up his cock. “Scoot closer so you can see, but make sure you watch his face too. See how much he loves being split open and fucked.”
Bishop pushed in inch by inch, stopping each time Shayde tensed up until he was bottomed out. “Holy fuck, you’re so tight and hot.”
“Move damn it.” Shayde growled as he pulled himself forward in an attempt to control his movements. “Feels good, but I need more.”
Bishop smacked Shayde’s ass cheek as he pulled out and slammed back home. “I’m in...charge...of your… pleasure.” Bishop alternated his thrusts from shallow and soft to deep and punishing until they were both straining, sweat dripping down their bodies, hands clawing at whatever they could reach.
“Fuck me.” Choal cried out as the sound of skin slapping filled the room.
Bishop opened his eyes and smiled wickedly as he saw Choal pumping his own cock in time with his thrusts. “Next time you can fuck him, while I’ll fuck you. What do you think of that? You want to try a little train action?”
“Yes.” Choal panted, “Hell yes, I want that so much.”
Bishop cursed as he slapped Shayde’s ass cheek again, “Stop topping from the bottom, I know you like that idea. You’re pulsing around me.” Bishop grunted as he leaned forward and placed a soft kiss to Shayde’s neck. “Come for us, baby. I wanna hear you cry out my name.”
Almost as soon as he finished speaking the words, Shayde’s body began to shutter, milking Bishop's cock until he couldn’t hold back any longer.
They lay there panting for a few moments, sharing soft kisses and touches of affection when a knock on the bedroom door drew their attention.
“Yes?” Choal called out as he made a mad dash to get there before anyone opened it up and saw them.
“I just wanted to tell you that it's seven and I’m getting hungry,” Kohen yelled through the door. “What’s for dinner?”
“Hey Kohen,” Bishop hollered, “Do me a favor and pull the hamburger meat out of the fridge. I’ll grill them up in just a minute okay?”
As soon as he was gone, Bishop climbed off the bed and pulled an exhausted Shayde up too. “Come on, let’s take advantage of that big ass shower, and then we’ll cook dinner together.”
Chapter Thirty-One
Shayde set the platter of burgers on the table and surveyed the whole thing making sure they had everything they’d need for dinner. It wasn’t fancy, but it was good and that’s all that mattered to them. If Lennox and Anubis didn’t like it, they could eat somewhere else.
“They’re here.” Choal ran his hands down his shirt smoothing out non-existent wrinkles. “Not sure why I’m nervous but I am.”
Bishop smiled and pulled him into his arms, “Pretty sure there's nothing to worry about love.”
“So the rumors are true.” Lennox nudged Anubis with a smirk. “You owe me twenty bucks.”
Anubis rolled his eyes, pulled out his wallet and slapped a bill in his outstretched hand. “Bastard.”
“Wait,” Shayde demanded, “You two were betting on us?”
“And what exactly did you bet on?” Choal added as he crossed his arms and scowled.
Lennox moved into the room and offered Bishop his hand, “I’m Lennox, that’s Anubis and you must be Bishop. The town’s been all abuzz about the three of you all day.”
Shayde closed his eyes and let out a pained sigh, “You bet that the three of us were in a relationship, didn’t you?”
“Ah….well… not exactly.” Anubis cringed as he looked at Choal. “The bet was if you’d ever fess up and admit your feelings for him.”
Bishop snickered, causing Shayde and Choal to shoot him a scathing look which only made him laugh harder.
“Wait.” Choal pointed to Bishop, “We were embracing, so what makes you so sure, you didn’t just let the cat out of the bag in regards to Shayde?”
Anubis shrugged, “Easy, we saw the look on his face when he was watching you two hug. Only a man deeply in love and happy could have that exact expression when watching another man hang on his mate.”
Shayde blanched as he saw Choals eyes widen in shock before turning to him. “You love me? Us?”
“Shit.” He scowled at the two interfering twatwaffles, “This was not the way I wanted you to find out. But yeah I love you, the both of you. I think I have from the moment I met you both.”
Bishop scrunched up one side of his face and shrugged sheepishly, “I’m a shifter, I knew you guys were my mates almost from the moment you stepped out of the woods into my path that night. I didn’t want to scare you away, so I didn’t say anything. I can be patient when I want something bad enough.”
Choal swallowed nervously and let out a half hysterical laugh, “Dinner...ah, dinner’s getting cold.”
Shayde frowned at the lack of response from Choal, but had to hope it was more from shock than lack of feelings. He pulled a chair out and dropped into it with a dejected sigh as he watched the rest of the group take their places.
“Kohen, did you introduce yourself to them, when you let them ins
ide?” Bishop asked with a pointed look. “Manners remember, we talked about this.”
“I did.” Kohen replied instantly, “Right, I introduced myself and invited you in. Tell him.” Kohen pleaded with Lennox and Anubis.
“He did.” Lennox agreed. “He was very polite.”
They all grew silent as the food was passed around and everyone began to eat. Kohen would occasionally tell them some story or adventure about his day, making everyone laugh.
“So.” Lennox used his napkin to wipe his mouth. “Dinner was excellent, it’s been a long time since I’ve had a home cooked meal. Thank you for including us.”
Bishop cocked his head and studied the other man, “I’d say your welcome anytime, but I guess that will depend on what made you stop by today.”
“Bishop.” Shayde admonished, “Don’t be rude.”
Anubis smiled as he held up his hand to stop Shayde, “No, it’s quite all right. I don’t blame him for being suspicious. But I can assure you we're only here to check in on you guys and see if we could be of assistance.”
“And to make sure you’re aware that when you’re ready we’ve made arrangements for you to be able to continue your jobs and still live here in Black Hollow with Kohen and Bishop,” Lennox added.
“What?” Shayde and Choal exclaimed at the same time.
“From what Seraphine had told us,” Lennox picked up his glass of water, took a sip, and put it back down. “Kohen has to be kept in contact with one of the three of you until he gains full control over his other side. Correct?”
“Not me, but them, yes.” Bishop agreed slowly.
“You too.” Anubis insisted. “The three of you have bonded with him, you all keep him grounded and allow him the freedom he needs to be a normal kid. You will discover over time, that he can go longer and longer periods of time away from you.”
“Me?” Bishop whispered in shock as he turned to stare at Kohen. “You picked me too?”
Kohen smiled, “You’re my family and my Cerebus decided he wanted you to stick around. I hope that’s okay. I didn’t want to tell you in case you left. You had to want to be with us because you love us, not because of me.”
