The Lightning Bearer

by April Zyon

  His slick fingers rubbed against her anus before she felt the pressure of a single digit pushing slowly in. At the same time, he pressed kisses to her shoulder, neck, and upper back. Occasionally he withdrew the finger to work in more lube until he had two fingers inside stretching her more than her butt plug ever had.

  She gasped when he scissored his fingers inside of her. “That feels so good. Much better than the butt plug.” It was the realness that she loved, the way that he was working her body to get her to be able to fit both men. “Condoms, I want you both. I really do.”

  Lincoln flicked her clit with his tongue, and then wiggled back up the bed. He had a hand free so he was able to dig around to locate the box of condoms. Finding it, he passed it to her.

  She took two of the condoms out of the box and looked at Lincoln. She opened the package and wiggled her finger with the come hither motion. “Come closer so that I can put the condom on you, darling.”

  “Not sure I’ll survive you putting a condom on me,” he muttered. But he did change position enough for her to reach his cock. It also changed how his fingers pushed into her pussy causing a minor distraction for her.

  Her fingers were shaking when she put the condom on him. She rolled it on him, her fingers stroking the piercings in his cock while she put it on. “See, didn’t come.” She was now stroking her fingers up and down his latex-covered dick.

  His fingers slipped from her body to grab her hand. “Bad, Pepper,” he said in a gruff tone. Then he kissed her hard, his tongue sliding in to dance with hers, giving her a chance to play with the piercing in his tongue.

  When they parted, she was looking into his eyes and spoke. “You didn’t come so that’s a good thing, right? I liked that you let me put it on, thank you.”

  “You are welcome,” he said. Brushing his nose to hers, he gave her another quick kiss. “Better get Thomas suited up before all the control I used to keep from exploding in your hand goes to waste.”

  “Good point.” She moved so that she could face Thomas. “Come here, big guy, let me put this on you so that we can all start making love. I want to know what it feels like to have both of you inside of me.”

  He eyed her up and down. After a couple of seconds, he shifted to set the bottle of lube on the bedside table. “All right, but if this goes horribly wrong, we all know who’s getting blamed for it.”

  “You,” Lincoln said over her shoulder. When he dropped a kiss on her skin she could feel his smile.

  She moved so that she could roll the condom onto Thomas’s cock. She squeezed him slightly as she did so and then nodded. “See, not too bad, now was it?” She moved her fingers over his cock and teased the piercings in his cock as well.

  “You’re playing with fire there, Pepper.” Like Lincoln, Thomas grabbed up her hand. He pressed a kiss to her palm, and then another to her inner wrist, working his way slowly up her arm. “Decide which way you want to face for the first round, darling. Quickly.”

  “I don’t mean to.” Hell, who was she kidding? She meant to. She looked at both men and then said, “I think I would like to face Lincoln this time.” She wanted to have both of them at one time or another facing her. “Next time I will face you, okay?”

  “More than okay, darling,” he told her. A quick kiss on her lips, and he let her wrist go. “Turn over, I have this need to bury my cock in you sooner rather than later.”

  Lincoln ran a hand down her spine and slapped her ass when she stared at Thomas maybe a moment too long.

  She was unsure how this would work and asked them. “Thomas, are you going to enter me first and then Lincoln?” She wasn’t certain if that would work best. “I just want to have you both inside of me, however, that has to happen.”

  “I’m going to ease my cock into your tight little back hole once I finish lubing up this condom good. Once I’m seated Lincoln will slide deep into the wet heat of your pussy. From there it’s a no holds barred love-fest.” The bed shifted again, and she felt his body pressing along her backside. “Hook a leg up over Lincoln’s waist, so you’re open for me. Push your ass back slightly, yeah, that’s perfect.” Thomas’s hands moved over her back until one gripped her hip, and the other left to rub at her anus lightly.

  She did just that. She hooked a leg over Lincoln’s waist and braced her hands on his chest. “I’m ready,” she said with a tremor in her voice. She was nervous. She knew how this all worked, but now it was happening, and even though it would be amazing, the unknown always made her unsteady.

  Taking her hands in his Lincoln pressed a kiss to one, and then the other. He looped them around his neck while pressing closer to her. “I have you,” he said against her lips. His one hand came to rest on her hip, and the other cupped her face. Slowly, he kissed her, teasing her while Thomas began to feed his cock into her back hole.

  Pepper didn’t tense. They had both told her she couldn’t tense up or else she would hurt. She pushed back against him, though, she kept her eyes on Lincoln and watched him for the cues that he would give her. “More, Thomas,” she whispered in need.

  He squeezed her buttocks in response and pushed his cock in deeper. Thomas seemed to know when to pause to let her breathe. She didn’t know how he knew, but the man appeared to be psychic or something. Lincoln continued to stare at her, his thumb on her cheek brushing back and forth providing a soft distraction whenever she needed it.

  She felt every single piercing in Thomas’s cock through the condom and moaned. “I love the way that those piercings feel.” She pushed back against Thomas, sighing when he filled her completely. “Oh yes.”

  “I do love the sounds you make, Pepper.” Sliding his hands up, he cupped her breasts to draw her in tight to his chest. Lightly kissing her neck, Thomas teased her while Lincoln shifted around to press his cock to her aching, empty pussy.

  “These are all new sensations for me.” She shivered. “God, that feels so good.” She pushed back against both men. She loved the way that they both filled her so completely.

  Thomas’s hands worked her breasts, massaging the plump flesh, and pinching or plucking at her nipples. Lincoln began to rock in harder, longer thrusts while he held her waist in one hand. His other hand moved to her face, lightly tracing her features. It was like the brush of a butterfly’s wings to her skin.

  She could get lost in these men and knew it. She wanted to feel this way every moment of the day. “Lincoln.” She whispered his name when his fingers lightly brushed her lips. “This is so much better than latex and rubber toys.” She nipped his finger gently and then took the tip of the digit into her mouth to ease the ache that he might have had. She then looked over her shoulder at Thomas, and just the look on his face, the utter reverence that she saw, took her breath away.

  Thomas brushed a kiss to her shoulder before he took a quick kiss from her lips. “Perfect,” he whispered against her mouth. The man then began to nibble on her neck while still tormenting her nipples gently.

  Running his free hand down her body, Lincoln paused to brush his thumb over her mound. A moment later his finger pushed through her folds to rub slow circles on her clit while he moved his hips faster.

  She was pushing back as they pushed into her body over and over again. She found that rhythm that worked for all three of them and loved it. The moment that Lincoln’s finger touched her clit she gasped aloud and felt her body clench on both of their cocks. The feelings of the piercings had her shuddering when she clenched. “God, I love your piercings.” The sensations were incredible, just as they told her they would be.

  “Glad you like them,” Lincoln said. He was watching her with a lazy expression on his face completely at odds with his rough actions. As he licked his lips, she caught a flash of the piercing in his tongue before it disappeared. His lips twitched, and leaning in, he began to place suckling kisses to her throat.

  Pepper bared her throat for Lincoln, and the feeling of that piercing in his tongue along her neck and jawline had her gasping. Thomas’s
hands tightened on her breasts, and she let her eyes close and rode out the pleasure that he gave her, both of them gave her. They were both teasing her now. Thomas’s hands moved to her back sliding down and then up her spine, one of his hands catching her hair and tugging it. That move had her pussy weeping in sheer pleasure. “Again, please.” She found she liked it with the small bite of pain.

  Thomas gave her what she wanted. She felt him winding her hair around his hand, and then the pressure when he made a fist to tug her head back.

  Lincoln took full advantage of her new position, his teeth skimming over her flesh. Then he began to pinch and roll her clit between his fingers while putting his other hand on her breast to give it a squeeze.

  “Yes, there.” She loved the roughness, the edge of the dangerous with these two men. She knew she was safe with them forever, knew that they would always catch her if she fell. “Harder.” She wanted more, though, needed more.

  Thomas slid his free hand around her body to take her breast again, Lincoln grabbed hold of her thigh behind her knee. He lifted her leg up higher. It seemed to be some sort of signal between the two men because they both were thrusting their cocks into her holes at a quicker pace. Harder and deeper they pounded into her, holding her body steady as she took what they gave her.

  Pepper gasped letting them take control, pinning her in place. Their piercings were rubbing against her inner body and their hands were teasing her in the best ways possible. “God, so close.” She was ready to come. She needed to come, now, but she wouldn’t until they said she could.

  As her inner tension wound tighter, her orgasm so much closer, she watched the expressions on Lincoln’s face. He was close. She could tell both by the tightening of skin over his cheeks and the quickening of his breathing. His hand flexed on her leg.

  Then Thomas bit her earlobe and scraped his teeth over the shell. “Come,” he commanded.

  Thank God that one of them told her she could because she wasn’t certain she could have held out much longer. Pepper leaned in and pressed her face into Lincoln’s neck and felt her body releasing. She sobbed both of their names, her whole body shaking in reaction to her orgasm.

  Thomas wasn’t that far behind her. She felt his body stiffen, and then arch against her back before he let out a muffled yell. He had to have turned his face into a pillow.

  Lincoln kept thrusting. The hand on her leg tightening to the point she might have a few bruises from his fingertips. His movements drew out her orgasm longer. She rode the wave until he stilled, his body slowly beginning to quiver against her before he let out a bellow of sound, and then collapsed.

  She was a limp noodle draped against Lincoln. Her eyes were closed, and her lips were curled in a smile. She lay like that for several long minutes and finally said, “God, that felt amazing. I think that we have to do this at least once a day, hopefully, more.”

  “Much more,” Thomas said. He pressed a kiss to her spine before she felt his hands on her ass while he withdrew his cock. “Need to clean up, and then we’ll take care of you as well. Don’t move an inch.”

  She let them take care of her and rested limply in their arms, a smile on her lips as she lay there.

  Chapter Nine

  A week later

  Pepper was sitting at the breakfast table eating Reece’s Puffs cereal. Lincoln and Thomas were working out along with the other men. She had no idea what they were doing today but knew it involved guns because Thomas and Lincoln both had grabbed their weapons. She looked up when she felt a presence more than saw one. Frowning, she cocked her head to the side and then grinned. “Hello, Ares. What’s shakin’?” She was able to talk to the god now without worrying about being all sorts of shy.

  “Not all that much, unfortunately,” he muttered. He went to get some coffee and then grabbed a bowl from the cupboard as well as a spoon before joining her at the table. Throwing a leg over the back of a chair, he collapsed into the seat. He looked exhausted. “Figured the boys were playing with their toys so I thought I’d come see how you were holding up. They driving you batty yet?” Shaking some of the cereal into the bowl, he accepted the milk when she passed it over to him.

  “No, not at all. Yes, they are out playing. I think that they look forward to the whole playing with bullets day.” She took another bite of her cereal. “Lincoln and Thomas are amazing. I love those men so much. I can’t say how much they mean to me.”

  Leaning his elbows on the table, Ares gave her a serious look. “Did they tell you everything? About being the key, the bond, and what Hades hopes to achieve if he can get his hands on you?”

  “Yes. They’ve told me that if Hades is ever able to get his hands on me, he will be able to get free of Tartarus and then he will bring Hell to Earth, literally. He has people who are working toward that goal here on Earth. Why, I have no idea. Again, humanity can be terribly stupid.” And anyone that wanted Hades to walk the Earth was just that, stupid.

  “He’s using humans that hold evil tight within, ones who have slipped from the path of good so far they’ll never find it again. They are unredeemable. They are also his acolytes. The followers can hear Hades in their heads and will heed whatever orders he gives them. They will do everything possible to carry out his orders, and not stop for anything except death. Then they are his for eternity to torture at his whim.”

  Pepper moved to the edge of her chair and leaned in close to Ares. “There are times…” She chewed her lower lip and then taking a deep breath whispered her confession to the god as if she were confessing her sins to a priest. “There are times I swear I hear a man in my mind. I hear the whispers of him asking me to come to him, promising that I will never be alone again. This was before I knew all of this, though. I thought I was losing my mind and having auditory hallucinations.” She held her hands together, wringing them as she spoke to him. “His voice was hard to resist at times, but other times it was easy to resist.” The days that she had learned about Thomas and Lincoln being up to some hijinks or another.

  “Hades.” Ares confirmed her fear. “He won’t be able to get through to you here. The wards on this place are multi-layered from a number of different gods. Invisible to the eye, but those with a foot in my world can feel it. The house is the safest place between those wards, and all the boys set up. The property is protected as well, but nowhere as tightly. It’s hard to shield a large space especially when you’re not present to maintain it. We’ll know if anyone not on the visitors’ list comes around, or anyone from Hades’s court.”

  “I felt them when we entered the first gate and then even more when we got here to the house. It wasn’t a bad feeling, more like one of comfort. One that felt like it was welcoming me with open arms. He’s been utterly silent in my mind since Lincoln and Thomas met me in Oklahoma City. They make everything quiet, and I like that.” But she liked them more, a hell of a lot more.

  “The bond starts working from the moment of first skin to skin contact. It grows stronger each time. Be aware, though, the longer you put off completing the bond, the more dangerous it can be. It will take over all other thoughts until it pushes you to complete it. No idea how long that would take. Not like I can ask the bitches who put the stupid thing into place since they are avoiding us all.”

  “I know. I can feel it, and I’m sure that they do as well.” She knew not bonding with them right away was dangerous. It had been pointed out time and again. But to bond with her men she would need to take care of some things, things that would make her feel as if she was in control of her life instead of being told how to live it.

  “You definitely deserve some time together. Don’t think I was suggesting otherwise, Pepper.” His head turned slightly, and she watched his eyes change color for a moment. Then he was looking at her again. “I have to get going. Remember what I said, talk to Mik about your need for a little bit of space, and stick close to your men. I’ll check back in as soon as I can.”

  “Thank you, for taking the time to talk to me,�
� Pepper said and watched as the god disappeared right before her eyes. She laughed and sat back. She didn’t think she would be able to get used to it actually. She leaned back and sipped on her drink while she waited for Thomas and Lincoln to rejoin her.

  Half an hour after Ares left her to her own devices Thomas came wandering into the kitchen. Spotting her, he stopped before the fridge to shoot her a grin. “Hello, darling, what has you looking so happy with life today?”

  “What don’t I have to be happy about?” she asked him, watching him as he opened the fridge to start to dig through it. “I have two men that love me and that I love right back. I have a suddenly very large family, and I’m safe. I’m no longer alone. I’m no longer being hurt. I have a lot to be happy about, don’t you think?”

  Closing the door with the jug of juice in hand, he nodded slowly. “Good point,” he told her. After pouring a glass, and returning the pitcher to its spot, he came to join her at the table. “You are rather lucky to have the two best guys in the world for your very own.”

  She snickered and bumped her shoulder to his. “Are you fishing for a compliment, Thomas?” She did rather adore the man. He was playful and fun, dangerous if he wanted to be but never to her. “I do have the two best guys in the world. They are sweet, kind, generous, loving, and so sexy that it could melt the polar ice caps.”

  “It’s compliments like that that will have you naked in record time,” he said, tapping the end of her nose. With a smile, he leaned in to kiss her gently. “What did Ares want?” he asked suddenly after sitting back in his chair again.

  “Just to chat and eat cereal.”

  “What did the big guy want to talk about? Anything we need to know?”

  “Nah. He and I talked about Hades, and he warned me that the longer we take to bond the harder it will be for the three of us.” She reached out and put her hand on his forearm. “You will tell me if it starts to bother you, won’t you?” She felt the pull to bond with them, but she held back, despite the warnings everyone gave her.
