The Black Rider

by J B Trepagnier

  “Oh, shit, did Juana set up a cart?” Aeron groaned.

  “Looks like she did, my friend.”

  Aeron snatched up my hand and practically skipped towards one of the street carts. The Horseman of Death just should not skip, but I had a feeling whatever was at that cart that was making him do so, I wanted in my mouth five minutes ago. The street was filled with the smell of so much good cooking, and it overpowered the stench of death was always in the air.

  Aeron was giddy when we got to the cart. What must have been Juana gave him a gigantic smile.

  “I made your favorite, Aeron.”

  “Have I told you how much I love you, Juana?”

  “You’re just a pig who likes to eat. I’ll bet you say that to anyone who will feed you.”

  Leif finally caught up.

  “He actually doesn’t. Aeron gives compliments like someone is yanking his teeth out with no drugs. I can confirm yours are the best. Can we get enough for all three of us?”

  I still had no idea what I was about to eat, but if it impressed two angels, I was ready to profess my love to Juana too.

  “I only slaughtered one of my pigs to make Chicharron en Salsa Verde because Maria said you two hijo de putas have found a way to fix the world, and Aeron once wouldn’t leave my house for two days unless I made this for him.”

  Juana served up three bowls, and we went to find a bench to eat on.

  “What are we eating?”

  “Fried pork skin in green sauce. And in case you wanted to stock up on Spanish swear words, she called us motherfuckers,” Leif said.

  “Don’t ask questions. Just eat. She only makes this for special occasions. You can get it at some small cafes, but it’s not as good as hers.”

  The smell wafting from my bowl was fucking amazing. I started shoveling it in my face as soon as I knew what it was. Oh, my god. I was ready to go tell Juana I loved her too. Would she call me a motherfucker too if I asked for seconds? I could have gone swimming in this stuff and died happily.

  Aeron set his bowl in his lap and grinned at me.

  “She always makes sex noises when she eats when it’s good.”

  Leif just laughed.

  “Oh, I’ve noticed. I want to dance.”

  Leif yanked me to my feet, and we all went into the street with the other revelers. Aeron and Leif pressed up against me. I wasn’t familiar with any of the music that was being played, but I bumped and ground with Leif and Aeron and tried to sing along to the choruses.

  I was having a fucking blast. Yeah, everyone needed a party right now. I hadn’t dealt with the apocalypse nearly as long as the people here. I slept through the war. But I had seen enough. Sure, they built something good here as they did in California, but that could be taken away at any moment.

  Leif fucking did it. We still had a lot of work to do, but we could start bringing hope back to a bombed-out, zombie-filled world.

  Then, we could kill my father.

  Chapter 31

  T

  he street party was either loud enough to drown out the explosives and gunfire outside the walls, or the zombies just knew we were coming for them and didn’t come close. I could forget everything for a few hours and just pretend like I was a normal girl with two boyfriends at a party in Mexico.

  We stumbled back to Leif’s apartment, but I wasn’t done celebrating yet. There were perks to having two boyfriends. They each brought something different into my life, but I’d be a total idiot if I didn’t explore what they brought together in the bedroom. I wasn’t all about Oval Office orgies with angels I’d never met, but a threesome with Aeron and Leif? Sign me the fuck up for at least seeing what that was like.

  The door wasn’t even shut yet, and I already had my shirt off. It was the apocalypse, and no one could make me wear a bra anymore. I didn’t care if I nipped out, and someone wanted to stare. People had centuries to design a comfortable bra. The world was in the process of ending, and they still hadn’t managed. I was done with bras.

  I shimmied out my trousers and kicked them at Leif’s face. I wasn’t looking. He was in the process of trying to get naked, too, and I got him right in the chest. When I looked over, Aeron was already totally naked and standing at attention. Aeron caught my thong and sniffed it like a pervert when I threw it at him. If Leif could just get his trousers off, we could get this show on the road. He seemed to struggle and hop all over the room.

  “Man, take your fucking shoes off, or you will fall and break the table,” Leif said.

  So, that was the problem. Leif finally got his shoes off and eventually his pants. Aeron swooped me up and carried me to bed because he got tired of watching Leif struggle. It made me feel a little better about myself that even angels got stuck in their trousers sometimes.

  Aeron and I were furiously making out on the bed when Leif stomped in.

  “No fair getting started without me.”

  Aeron took my tit out his mouth and craned his head at Leif.

  “They created you with the knowledge of how to take your clothes off properly. You left your shoes on? That’s a baby human stunt.”

  “Well, he’s naked now, so come to bed, Leif.”

  Leif slid into bed and kissed my shoulder.

  “What are the rules tonight? What do you want to do, and what is off-limits?”

  Dare I even say it out loud? I’d had this fantasy for the longest time, but I’d never met two guys I liked enough to ask. Or I did, and they would have a problem crossing swords or sharing. I left it a fantasy until now because looking for this kind of thing from random guys online seemed like an excellent way to wake up in a tub of ice with my kidney missing or disappear into some sex trafficking ring.

  Aeron tickled me.

  “Now, you’re shy? You waved that box of tampons you found at me like female menstruation doesn’t totally confuse human men and male angels too. You get so angry and hangry.”

  “Cramps and hormones are no joke, asshole.”

  “You don’t have to tell us if you aren’t comfortable, Ariel. We can take things as they come.”

  I could do that. Or I could just be honest about what I wanted. I hadn’t known them in person that long, but we’d been through some shit. If I could trust anyone to do this, it was them.

  “I want both of you…at the same time. I don’t suppose you stocked up on lube, did you?”

  Leif nuzzled my neck.

  “I prepared for any scenario you wanted when you got here.”

  Aeron snorted.

  “This fucker has a Narnian wardrobe full of sex toys he bought before the apocalypse.”

  Leif reached over me and smacked Aeron in the face with the pillow.

  “You picked out half of them, asshole. All the butt toys were Aeron’s idea.”

  “Well, I guess I know which hole Aeron wants.”

  Aeron just growled and bit my neck. Leif was playing with my hair.

  “Foreplay first,” Leif said, nibbling on my ear.

  Yeah, making out with two guys was definitely better than one. I don’t think a single inch of me was getting neglected. It was being touched or kissed. I could just reach my hand out and feel pure muscle. Thank god this bed was huge because we were rolling all over the place kissing and touching.

  Aeron got out of bed and yanked me on all fours. He seemed to know precisely where the lube was and found it right away.

  “A little help here, Leif?”

  Leif slid under me and pulled me down so I was straddling his face. I moaned, and my eyes rolled back in my head when I felt his tongue flick across my clit. His cock was right there, so I grabbed it and took it in my mouth.

  I felt the bed move as Aeron positioned himself behind me. I felt him rimming my ass with his tongue. I groaned and started squirming. This was fucking amazing. Leif locked his arms around my thighs so I couldn’t move, and Aeron gave my ass a light spanking. Why did I like that so much?

  I felt the cold splash of lube dripping down my ass bef
ore Aeron started working it in with his fingers. Leif’s tongue was still flicking away and driving me crazy. I felt Aeron’s finger press inside. I felt pressure and a little bit of pain, but I knew it would be over soon. This was not my first anal rodeo, but it was one of the few times it was done correctly, and I didn’t have to kick someone out of my bed.

  I was moaning all over Leif’s cock and working him with my hand and mouth. Leif was making lazy circles on my clit with his tongue. And Aeron’s fingers in my ass were driving me crazy. I knew they could talk telepathically, and they must be doing that now because Leif’s tongue sped up right when Aeron added another finger.

  Oh, I could barely handle this. How was I supposed to take two of them at once when this had every nerve in my body lit up? Leif was working my clit with his tongue in time with Aeron’s fingers, and I totally wasn’t mad they were using their angel powers like that.

  Leif was delaying my orgasm again. He’d back off right when I was about to tip over. I’d give his cock a hard squeeze, and he would just grunt from between my thighs. That fucker was doing it on purpose.

  He didn’t let me come. After what seemed like being on the edge of an orgasm for ages, they both let me up. My thighs were shaking, and my body felt like it was on fire. Leif scooted out from underneath me and flopped on his back. Aeron just tapped my thigh.

  “Why don’t you hop on that cock, Speedy?”

  Leif’s black eyes were hooded, and his hair was hanging in his eyes as he watched me like a cat from his back. I climbed his body like he was my own personal stripper pole and brushed his hair out of his eyes. I gave him a gentle kiss.

  “You’re pretty amazing, Leif. You too, chicken man.”

  Leif responded by caressing my cheek, and Aeron just gave me another spanking. It was time. I couldn’t wait any longer. I’d had this fantasy in my head for a long time, and now that it was actually happening, it was better than I ever thought it could be. I was glad I never acted on it until I met Leif and Aeron.

  It just meant more now. We were celebrating something super important, but that wasn’t all I was thinking about tonight. My dating history had always been a disaster. I never seemed to fit right with anyone. It was like Aeron and Leif were part of this gigantic puzzle, and I was this piece waiting to be found and added to the picture.

  I wrapped my hands around Leif’s thick cock and guided him inside me. I arched my back and practically purred as I enjoyed the sensation of him filling me. Aeron was behind me, running his fingers through my hair gently. I’d never felt so loved in my entire life except for when I was around Miss Mabel, but this was an unconventional kind of love.

  Aeron got a little demanding. He usually was. That was just Aeron. I felt his hands on my shoulders, pushing me forward. I just went with it until I pressed my chest against Leif’s, and I could feel his heart racing. I was sure my own heart would explode.

  Aeron started petting my back.

  “Last chance to back out, Ariel.”

  “Are you kidding? I was probably plotting this when we were only online dating.”

  Leif wrapped his arms around my waist and nuzzled my neck.

  “Don’t tell me you want to back out, Aeron. Is this something like the chickens?”

  “You shut the fuck up about chickens, Leif. I don’t want to hurt her.”

  “I’m not made of glass, Aeron. And I’m perfectly capable of saying ouch.”

  Aeron let out a little growl and gripped my hips.

  “Game on, then.”

  Aeron was so gentle when he pressed inside me. He was always so worried about me getting hurt, but I was glad for that right now. Neither of these men had tiny cocks, and I was about to take both of them on at once. If any part of this Jenga puzzle of naked bodies did something wrong, we’d end up either broken dicks or me bleeding in unfortunate places.

  I felt Aeron’s hips meet my ass and sighed into Leif’s neck. There was this incredible sensation of pressure and fullness, but there was also this fantastic sensation running through me that both of these angels were mine, and we were all together tonight. No one was left out. It felt like we were doing something special, and I wanted to get on with the show.

  I knew Aeron was about to wait for me to get used to him and ask if I was okay before he got started, but I wanted asshole Aeron back now. I wanted the out of control Aeron that took me up against the shower wall. I liked it when Aeron was a dick because I could be a dick right back to him, and neither of us got mad about it. It was just banter. It made me angry when I first met him, but now I craved it.

  Before he could get the words out to check on me, I started moving against their cocks. Aeron growled and grabbed my hips, but I knew that growl. I heard it in the shower, and little aggressive Aeron wanted to come out and play. If only I could reach him and bite him from here. That would bring it out for sure. That or some hair pulling.

  Leif had already taken over and was thrusting into my pussy. Aeron was holding back. His fingers were digging into my hips. He finally threw back his head and roared.

  “Fuck, woman. I have no restraint around you.”

  Aeron finally let go, and the real fireworks started. Leif was a little more out of control than the last time we were together too. All I could do was hold on to Leif for dear life and bite the shit out of him, so all of San Quintin didn’t know I was having a hot threesome with two angels.

  Hot didn’t even begin to describe it. It was like every nerve ending in my body was lit up, and the lights in the room kept flickering the louder my screams got. When my first orgasm hit, I came so hard the power went out. The lights flickered once, then came back on.

  Leif bit my shoulder.

  “Try not to blow the backup generator. Generators are scarce.”

  “Easy for you to say,” I gasped as Aeron pounded my ass.

  “I’ll teach you to control the power surges,” Leif said.

  “Can we talk about that when I don’t have two dicks fucking me, Sparky?”

  Aeron gave my ass another spank.

  “Let’s go for the grand finale, or all of San Quintin will be without power.”

  I was about to make a smartassed remark, but before I could even open my mouth, Leif and Aeron doubled their efforts, and I swore I was about to start openly weeping out of sheer pleasure. Aeron wasn’t thinking about hurting me anymore and was fucking my ass like it went down in the shower. Gentle Leif wasn’t quite as gentle right now. He had me crushed to his chest and kept biting my collarbone.

  It all seemed to happen at once. Leif bit me again, and Aeron delivered a stinging slap to my ass. I came undone. The room seemed to light up as Leif’s eyes glowed white. I was sure Aeron’s were too. They might have been shining brighter than ever because it was super bright in here.

  As soon as I felt the pinch of Leif’s teeth and the sting of Aeron’s hand, it was like the room lit up as I came. Leif and Aeron weren’t far behind me. I could remember seeing a lot of concerts, but that was by far the best grand finale of anything I’d ever seen before.

  We collapsed in a heap on the bed and just snuggled. When I could finally speak again, I asked.

  “How the Hell am I exploding things and causing power outages?”

  “You’ve seen our eyes glow before, right?” Leif said.

  “I’ve watched both of you light up like fucking glow worms.”

  “That’s what you’re doing. Your eyes glowed white when we were together the other night, and your entire body lit up just now.”

  “How is that possible? I’m sure I would have noticed if I lit up like a Christmas tree before. Miss Mabel doesn’t glow.”

  Aeron just laughed.

  “She glows a little. She just didn’t let you see. You’re a little more angel. We can teach you to control it when your angel side wants to come out and play. It’ll save the light bulbs.”

  “Can I go all Nazi killer like Aeron did? Why hasn’t that ever happened before?”

  “You can
stun people, but you can’t kill them. It didn’t happen before because you thought you were human. It’s a safety precaution, so Nephilim don’t end up experimented on in labs. That happened to you anyway, but that was because your father knew.”

  I wanted to forget about the lab. I wanted to think about my new nifty angel powers, but I was so fucking tired. I nestled into Leif and Aeron’s arms.

  “Angel superpowers tomorrow. I’m exhausted.

  Leif kissed my forehead, and Aeron kissed my neck.

  “Get some sleep, Speedy. We still have work to do tomorrow.”

  Chapter 32

  I

  had a bounce in my step when I woke up. Aeron and Leif were in their usual places on the sofa. I took a running leap and dove into their lap. Leif buried his face in my stomach and blew a raspberry. Aeron just stroked my thigh.

  “You need to eat, Ariel,” Aeron said.

  Yeah, I did. Even after everything I ate at the party, I was still starving. I climbed out of their laps and started digging into breakfast.

  “What’s the plan for today? Angel powers 101?”

  “Dice wants to teach you about that,” Leif said.

  “Don’t I need to learn about that soon? I’m blowing light bulbs left and right.”

  “Dice is coming soon. Once I have a working serum, he will meet us here, and we will all travel to his base in Florida.”

  “Right. How are you coming on the serum?”

  “Well, I already know how to synthesize angel blood. I’m still figuring out yours. Patient Q should be easy. We’ll probably never know what kind of demon he was, and that sort of thing would have set me back for a little while, but Doctor X already did the work. He deserves to have his sick research twisted into something good.”

  “And that knife wound to the gut,” Aeron said. “What do you want to do today, Ariel?”

  “We still need someone going through those flash drives. The emails make me sick, but we need to know if something worse is coming.”

  “Is there a flash drive I could actually understand?” Aeron said.
