Trevor’s shaft swelled in Niall’s mouth and Niall back off so he could taste Trevor’s offering as it shot out in explosive streams. Trevor’s back bent until he was nearly shaped like the letter ‘U’. Niall would love to photograph Trevor’s lithe body as it contorted in ecstasy.
“Holy fuck!” Trevor screamed.
As soon as Trevor stopped coming, his body flopped down, drained and disjointed. Niall crawled up and grabbed a condom out of his bedside drawer. He quickly sheathed his cock then slicked up the latex. Niall positioned Trevor’s legs around his waist and gathered the smaller man close in his arms.
“Look at me, honey.”
Trevor’s eyes opened, and caught by his gaze, Niall felt as if he were swimming the bluest ocean on the planet. He slowly slid inside Trevor’s body, sinking further and further into the man he loved. Niall had yet to say the words, but the feeling had been there for some time. He hadn’t wanted to spook Trevor away, but now there was something different in those blue depths below him—a calmness and joy Niall had not seen before. It made Niall’s spirit soar, and his grandfather would have told him that his and Trevor’s souls were now forever intertwined.
“I love you,” Niall whispered as he united their bodies to the fullest extent.
“I love you too.”
Niall revelled in the happiness on Trevor’s face. Niall withdrew slowly and paused for the briefest of seconds before sliding back into heaven. Niall entered Trevor over and over again with even measured strokes. Trevor’s fingers smoothed over Niall’s eyebrows and cheekbones, and Niall placed little kisses on the soft pads when they landed on his lips. Trevor brought his fingers to his own lips and kissed them back then touched the scars that ran across Niall’s chest.
After several minutes, Niall’s body demanded a faster pace. The momentum of his thrusts increased and he shifted the angle of penetration.
“Do you think you can come for me again? I want to feel you combust around my cock.”
Trevor didn’t say anything, but wrapped his hand around the slowly filling flesh lying across his hip. The portals to Trevor’s soul closed and Niall concentrated on reading the signals of Trevor’s body to increase his arousal. Trevor’s cock filled, not quite as hard as before but still solid and eager. Trevor’s hand flew up and down his shaft. His thumb rubbed across the leaking slit. Niall amplified the pace some more. He’d nearly reached his limit. His balls were tight against his body and he sensed his orgasm waiting in the wings, ready for the moment when his brain told it to unleash.
“Red…ready…Ni…Niall.”
“Then let it go, honey.”
Trevor’s body tightened around Niall’s cock. He felt the spasms ripple up and down his length as he shuttled in and out of Trevor’s channel. God, that was the most amazing sensation in the world. Niall’s muscles seized. Fireworks exploded behind his eyes, and his cock pulsed, shooting out ribbons of seed.
Niall collapsed beside Trevor and tried to catch his breath. He barely managed to scrounge up the energy to deal with the condom, but after he took care of its disposal, Niall gathered Trevor into his arms.
Trevor’s head rested on Niall’s chest. “Everything okay? I was a bit surprised to see you so early.”
“Yes and no. I had both a really good and a really bad day.”
“You want to talk about it now, or wait till Matt comes home?”
“Can we wait? I’m kinda tired, and I’d rather explain everything only once.”
“Sure, honey. You take a nap, and I’ll hold you while you fall asleep.”
“M’kay. Love you,” Trevor whispered.
The softly spoken words were some of the most beautiful Niall had ever experienced. He kissed Trevor’s forehead. “Love you too.”
After several minutes, despite sharing body heat, Niall noticed Trevor had started to shiver. He got out of bed and walked around to the side of the mattress. He pulled back the blankets and tucked Trevor in while trying not to disturb the sleeping man. Trevor immediately burrowed under the down comforter, and Niall switched on the electric mattress pad he’d gotten especially for Trevor.
He picked up his scattered clothing and left the room, closing the door behind him to only leave a slight gap. Niall took a fast shower in the guest bath then headed back to his office. He needed to look at what jobs were scheduled for the week. Checking the clock at his desk, Niall calculated Matt should arrive within an hour or so. Perfect nap length for Trevor, and then they could get to the bottom of Trevor’s cryptic remarks.
* * * *
Niall let Matt into the condo with a smile and kiss. Matt’s kisses were different, yet no less intoxicating than Trevor’s. His taste was spicier, deeper. Niall deepened the kiss when Matt started to pull back. He wrapped his arms around Matt’s neck and lifted his body against Matt’s larger, heavier frame. Matt’s arms slid around Niall’s waist, and Niall moaned. Matt plundered Niall’s mouth. What Niall had started, Matt soon took control of. Matt’s tongue swept over Niall’s, claiming the dark recesses, searching out every taste. Space between their bodies was nonexistent, and Niall’s cock, sated only an hour ago by his love of Trevor, rose to greet their partner. Niall pressed his arousal against Matt, making his desires known.
“Bedroom?” Matt asked, roughly.
Niall shook his head. “Trevor’s sleeping. Couch.”
Niall let Matt guide him to the large sectional across the room. He trusted Matt to steer him in the right direction. The back of Niall’s calves soon hit the end of one of the chaises. Niall’s hands cupped Matt’s cock and balls through his slacks. A groan of need rumbled from deep inside Matt’s chest. Niall’s quick fingers soon had Matt bared to his touch. Niall reached beneath Matt’s boxer briefs and lifted out the long cock Niall was desperate to feel inside him again. Niall wrapped his hand around Matt’s cock.
Matt moaned. “Fuck, Niall.”
“That’s the idea. Take me, Matt. Make me yours.”
He’d never had a lover fill him the way Matt did. So deep, so connected. When Matt made love to Niall, it always felt as though it was more than their bodies joining. When Trevor had confessed his love earlier, Niall had sensed their spirits linking. That peace, that rightness, had been a balm that soothed every scrape that had scored Niall’s soul over his lifetime. Niall knew this was the time to cement his bond with Matt.
Before the words were revealed though, Matt jerked open Niall’s jeans, pushed the denim out of the way and with a little shove sent Niall back onto the leather. Shivers of excitement and anticipation raced up and down Niall’s spine. Matt stripped Niall’s jeans the rest of the way down his legs and tossed them on the floor. Niall scooted back on the chaise so Matt could kneel between Niall’s legs.
Matt dug out the lube they’d taken to stashing in the storage ottoman. Matt slicked up his fingers and entered Niall in one smooth push. Two of Matt’s fingers were inside him. Niall’s head pressed back into the cushion and he swallowed the cry threatening to erupt for fear of waking Trevor. In and out Matt’s fingers moved, stretching and slicking Niall’s channel for Matt’s possession.
Niall’s body was left empty and hungry while Matt sheathed his cock with a condom from his wallet. Matt tossed Niall’s legs over his broad shoulders, one hand gripped the edge of the chaise beside Niall’s head and the other on Niall’s hip, securing their position on the furniture. The cords of muscles on Matt’s neck stood out from the top of his still-buttoned shirt.
Niall tilted his hips and reached between his legs to guide Matt’s cock to his entrance. Matt sank inside. Niall slapped a hand over his mouth to prevent the scream from both the pleasure and bite of pain escaping. Matt looked at Niall with confusion.
“Trevor. We can’t wake Trevor.”
Matt nodded, lowered his head, bestowed Niall with the sweetest of kisses and proceeded to thrust. Each slam of Matt’s cock into Niall’s ass caused Niall to arch and suck in gaping breaths. When Matt found his sweet spot, Niall nearly came. Mat
t pumped Niall’s body again and again—each time he found a deeper spot, each time he twisted their souls tighter together. Niall body trembled, his cock firm and high against his stomach. Niall lifted his shirt, took hold of himself, and seconds later white ropes painted his belly while he shuddered in Matt’s arms.
With a strangled cry, Matt shoved deep one last time and Niall felt Matt’s cock throb inside his body as Matt climaxed. Niall let out an “oof” as Matt’s heavier body collapsed on top of him. He used the muscles in his legs to corral their bodies, so they didn’t end up tumbling to the floor. As their breaths evened out, Matt slid out of Niall’s body. Matt started to nuzzle at Niall’s throat with soft kisses and tiny licks that made Niall sigh. Matt pushed on the sofa and rose from Niall’s body. While Matt dealt with condom, Niall realised he’d yet to do the most important thing. Matt returned from the hall bath with a damp cloth and knelt beside the sofa to clean Niall’s stomach. When their eyes met, Niall knew the words were hardly required, but absolutely necessary.
“I love you,” he proclaimed.
“I know. I love you too.”
Niall took Matt’s head between his hands, stared into the green eyes of the forest and hunted for the truth. He smiled. “I know.”
Their lips touched and their bond sealed. Niall’s spirit was complete for the first time in his life.
* * * *
“So tell me what’s been going on here today?” Matt asked.
Niall lay across the sofa, his head rested on Matt’s lap as they watched TV.
“You jump me at the door, and I find out that Trevor is not only here but already sound asleep in your bed.”
“Trevor showed up around four o’clock. Before I could even ask him why, he jumped me the way I jumped you. Quite literally in his case.” Niall smiled. “He had his arms around my neck, legs around my waist and tongue down my throat before I had time to react. Afterwards, he crashed harder than I’ve ever seen him. From one moment to the next, he was gone.”
“Bad day, you think?”
Niall looked up Matt and took a second to enjoy the feel of Matt’s fingers running through his hair. He hummed in appreciation. “Just before he conked out, he said it was both a really good and really bad day. He wanted to explain everything, but asked to wait until you got home.”
“Then shall we go wake sleeping beauty?”
Niall chuckled because he knew the moniker would drive Trevor nuts. He sat up and swung his legs over the edge of the sofa. Before he took two steps, Matt’s arms snaked around Niall’s waist and pulled him back to Matt’s deep chest.
“You think he’ll be able to say it one day?” Matt asked, softly.
Niall grinned. He knew what Matt was asking, but he refused to steal Trevor’s thunder.
“I do.”
Matt’s arms gave a gentle squeeze and they headed off for the bedroom at the back of the condo. Niall pressed open the door and peered into the dark room. The light from the hallway cut a path towards the bed, Trevor’s slender shape nothing but a lump beneath the blankets. Niall and Matt entered quietly and walked up to the bed. He saw that Trevor lay on his side and had curled his body around one of the pillows. Niall gestured for Matt to be the one who woke their lover.
Matt sat on the edge of the mattress and slid tresses of Trevor’s hair away from his face. Matt frowned and looked up at Niall.
“He’s a little warm,” Matt whispered.
Niall switched off the mattress pad. “Maybe it’s from the extra heat. He was shivering when I tucked him in.”
Matt didn’t look completely convinced but nodded all the same. “Bello?” Matt rubbed his hand across Trevor’s shoulder.
Trevor turned into Matt’s touch with a little sound.
“Come on bello, wake up.”
“Maybe you should plant a kiss on his sweet lips to draw him from his dreamless sleep?” Niall teased.
Matt snorted and Trevor snuffled then rolled onto his back. Matt leant over Trevor’s body and kissed Trevor’s pink lips. Matt’s touch lingered and Niall saw movement beneath the blankets. He loved watching Matt and Trevor together. It was both arousing and tender.
Trevor’s eyes fluttered open right as Matt pulled back from his lips.
“Matt.” Trevor sounded both happy and sleepy. His hand came out from under the blankets to cup Matt’s cheek. “I love you.”
Matt gasped and jerked his head up to look at Niall. Niall smiled but didn’t say anything. Matt’s gaze swung back towards Trevor and he gathered the smaller man close.
“I love you too.” Matt’s hand reached out for Niall who’d sat beside him on the bed. “I love you both very much.”
One of Trevor’s slender arms came around Matt’s neck and the other hand rested on Niall’s chest. Their heads moved together and Niall shared in his first three way kiss. Three sets of lips, three tongues none more demanding than another, all working in harmony to convey love and trust and unity.
Chapter Thirteen
Niall sat stunned, listening to Trevor explain the DVD and finding his neighbour’s dog. That was the day Trevor had fled Niall’s after they all made love the first time. They’d called Trevor that night, and Niall wished he had listened to his instincts at the time and gone to Trevor when he sensed his honey’s upset.
He’d known it! Known there was something wrong at that time, then ignored all the other little signs over the past couple of months. Niall had been so wrapped up in building their relationship that he’d missed the very thing threatening to tear them apart. It was clear someone was after Trevor. Scared and angry, Niall’s first instinct was to hover over Trevor and protect his man, but he knew that would drive Trevor nuts. Niall looked at Matt, sitting next to him on the sofa.
Matt’s body was rigid. His fists were clenched on the cushions. Niall rubbed Matt’s back and some of the tension leeched away when Matt settled into Niall’s touch. Trevor paced in front of the entertainment wall, his normally graceful movements jerky. Trevor stopped shining Niall’s floor long enough to look at them.
“I’m sorry. I have no idea who or why.”
“What do you need from us? How can we help?”
Trevor fell back on his usual non-verbal response and looked down at his feet. “The captain says he’ll have a uniform take me to and from work, unless I can make other arrangements.” He glanced over at his duffle still sitting beside the front door then back towards Niall and Matt.
Matt nodded. “Done. One of us will be available whenever you need to go somewhere.”
“I don’t want—”
“Your welfare never has been nor ever will be an inconvenience.”
Matt’s voice was lower than normal and Niall suspected their partner was doing everything within his power to prevent himself from yelling at that moment.
Niall continued to rub Matt’s back. “And we’ll all stay here to avoid any unnecessary back and forth.”
“Are you sure?” Trevor asked.
Niall nodded. “It’s what I’ve always wanted, and I’m not above exploiting the situation to get my way.” He smiled, and both Trevor and Matt smiled in return.
Trevor’s cell phone sent off an alert and he went towards the kitchen to find it. Niall felt Matt tap him on the leg so he turned back to face him.
“I’m worried.” Matt said in a low voice.
“Me too, but neither of us are cops or anything of the like. We have to trust Trevor’s captain to handle the situation, and we’ll keep an eye on him when he’s home or out with one of us. We can’t lock him away, Matt. You know that.”
“I know. I don’t like it, but I do know.”
“Good. Now Valentine’s Day is this weekend. Let’s bunk down and enjoy the holiday together.”
Niall looked back at Trevor who was quickly typing into the phone. He heard Trevor mumble something about “Logan” and “smartass”. Matt leant across the sofa behind Niall towards Trevor.
“Tell Logan I said ‘hi’.”
Trevor parroted appropriately then laughed at whatever Logan sent through the text message in return.
Trevor slid the phone in his pocket and came back towards sofa, flopping down beside Niall. “Logan and I are going shopping tomorrow after work, so you don’t have to worry about picking me up.”
“Wait, what? Are you sure that’s a good idea?” Matt asked.
“I have to buy your Valentine’s presents, and Logan said he needs to pick something up on Newbury Street anyway. We’re both coming from work already and Logan will drive me here afterwards.”
Matt stood and moved over the other side of Trevor. “Logan is my friend as much as he is yours. In any other situation, I would never question your desire to spend time with him, but…given the danger and his limitations, can you honestly tell me he’s the right man to protect you right now?”
“He…he was—”
“He was. But he’s not that man anymore. You know that, bello.”
“I think I’m missing something here. Either of you want to fill me in?” Niall asked.
Trevor looked over at Niall. “The same insurgent attack that resulted in the onset of Logan’s hearing loss also caused him PTSD. He still deals with anxiety attacks and occasional flashbacks.”
“Wow, I had no idea. I’ve never seen any outward signs…”
“Most days he does okay. He’s learned techniques for dealing with the anxiety, but during a high stress situation, who knows what might happen?” Matt added.
“So what do you suggest?” Trevor asked Matt.
“How would you feel if Ryan went with the two of you? He is a FBI agent.”
“He’s works in counter intelligence, not violent crime,” Trevor countered.
“True, but he does know how to shoot and is licensed to carry. I think Logan would be the first to tell you that your safety is the most important thing right now, not his ego.”
Trevor nodded. He flipped phone out and started typing. It seemed as though only seconds had passed when the little chime alerted them to Logan’s response.
