It wasn’t as if they could keep quiet, either. On this deserted island, so quiet and peaceful, the sound of Kyle smacking Finn’s arse would ring out like gunshots, not that the rest of the mer would know what a gun was.
“You realize this is the first mating season since the three of us started our relationship where Jake hasn’t been here?” Kyle said.
“I know. It doesn’t seem right, does it?”
Kyle shook his head. “Unfortunately, he’s on the other side of the world.”
Finn sat on the sand and Kyle dropped down beside him. “Next season we’re tracking him down. Agreed?”
Kyle nodded. “We’re a trio, and even though sometimes I think we’ve all felt we weren’t, without him we’re not complete.”
Finn couldn’t agree more. Next mating season they were going to find a way to be with Jake, too, and curses on any of the gods who tried to keep them apart.
Kyle stretched out on his back and planted his feet in the sand. Finn crawled closer and knelt between Kyle’s legs. He ran his hands down Kyle’s inner thighs, easing them wider apart with smooth strokes.
As he teased his lover, he watched Kyle’s erection rise from the bed of dark curls at his groin. Leaning down, Finn swiped his tongue along Kyle’s length, licking him from root to tip.
“Finn!” Kyle cried out as he bucked up, driving his cock into Finn’s mouth.
With a moan of pleasure, Finn sucked his lover, closing his eyes as he savored the taste he had missed so much during their long journey to the new caverns.
“Fuck me,” Kyle demanded. “Please, Finn. I need you in me or I’m going to burn up.”
The mating fever could do that to a person. Finn often felt as though he might burst into flames at the peak of the season. He had no intention of waiting much longer before taking Kyle. With one final suck on Kyle’s cockhead, Finn sat back and gazed at the glorious sight in front of him.
“I wish we had some lube,” Finn said.
“Yeah, me, too,” Kyle admitted. “We’ve been spoiled, haven’t we?”
“Just a bit.”
Unfortunately, without a pharmacy around the corner, they would have to make do with saliva, like the rest of the mer did.
Finn prepared Kyle as best he could, fingering him far longer than usual in his attempts to make things easier for his lover.
“Finn, for the love of the gods, fuck me!” Kyle shouted, when it seemed Finn had taken too long in his preparations.
They kissed briefly, their tongues touching for a fraction of a second before they parted. Finn lined his cock up with Kyle’s arse and entered him with one swift thrust.
Kyle screamed out in pleasure, though Finn fancied there was a little pain there too.
From the moment Finn buried himself in Kyle’s arse, he felt the feverishness to Kyle’s skin recede. With a few hard strokes, Kyle came, spilling his cum across his abdomen and chest.
“It’s a good job you don’t need to feel my seed inside you,” Finn whispered. “Then we’d have a real problem.”
Kyle choked off a laugh. “Your cock is enough to break my fever, but I know what you mean. Now, how about we switch places? You get on your hands and knees and I’ll get rid of that pesky fever of yours.”
Finn froze mid thrust. There were mer just a little way down the shore. Any one of them might see and hear what Kyle did to him.
“Finn, what is it?” Kyle pulled back and sat up, Finn’s erection slipping free from him.
“I can’t,” Finn whispered.
“Can’t what?”
Finn nodded subtly to the mermen and mermaids coupling down the beach. “I’m supposed to be a prince, a leader.”
“You are.”
“My position, much as I hate it, requires the people to respect me. How can they do that when they see what I need—what I desire—to break my mating fever?”
Kyle sighed loudly and pulled Finn into his arms. “We can go somewhere more private, if you wish?”
“This is a small island. Wherever we go, someone will see us, and even if they didn’t, they would hear.” Finn sobbed softly and buried his face in Kyle’s chest. “I hate the pain of the mating fever, but I see no other way to keep the respect of my people.”
Kyle held him close, and Finn took what little comfort he could from being in the arms of his lover.
“Human!”
The cry came from the far end of the beach. By the time Finn had risen from the ground, half the mer in the locality were already back in the water.
“Jake!” Kyle shouted. “Finn, it’s Jake!”
Finn couldn’t believe his eyes. He sprinted down the beach and into his lover’s embrace. He was aware of Kyle calling the rest of the mer back to land, assuring them it was safe to do so. Not everyone could hear him, for many had already dived below the waves, but some of them cautiously swam back, gazing at Jake, who, in his human clothes, must appear quite strange to most of them. As they drew close, some recognized their former host and greeted him with shy smiles and waves.
Kyle joined Jake and Finn a moment or two later.
Jake raised his hand to Kyle’s brow. “I see I’ve missed some of the fun, haven’t I?”
“We didn’t know you were here,” Kyle said.
Jake stroked Finn’s skin. “You’re still feverish, baby.”
Finn’s face heated.
Jake smiled and kissed him softly. “We have a house on the other side of the island. It’s not far.”
“We?”
“You, me, Kyle and Treacle.”
“Treacle’s here?” Finn asked, at the same time the dog in question bounded up to them, yapping and jumping in excitement. Finn bent down and gave Treacle an affectionate pat. “Aw, you’ve missed me, haven’t you?”
“We both have,” Jake said. “Now, how about we take this somewhere a little more private? You know I’m not a fan of public sex.”
Finn grinned widely as relief swept through him.
Taking Jake’s hand, Finn let him lead them along a path. Treacle ran ahead of them and Kyle planted himself firmly on Jake’s other side.
Finn glanced over his shoulder at the other mer, who, now that the excitement was over, were returning to their previous activities.
The house Jake brought them to was modern and new, and Finn loved it immediately. The moment he walked through the door, he felt as if he had come home.
“The bedroom is up those stairs,” Jake said, pointing to a spiral staircase at the side of the room. “It’s the only room up there and has windows in all directions. I’ve been up there watching out for the mer all day, but I guess I was watching the wrong side of the island.”
“The scout had told us about the building here,” Kyle explained. “We deliberately came to land at the beach that was out of sight of the structure.”
“Ah, that explains it,” Jake said. “I’d not have found you at all if it weren’t for Treacle constantly barking in the direction where you were. I think he knew you were here long before I did.”
“Clever dog,” Finn praised as Treacle ran to one of the cupboards and looked up at it longingly.
“I guess he deserves a treat for his work this evening,” Jake said as he gave the dog a bone. “It’ll also keep him busy while we’re otherwise engaged.”
“Sneaky,” Kyle teased.
“Yes, but also effective.” Jake pointed over to the dining room. “I’ve made us dinner. Do you want to eat now or later?”
“Later,” Finn immediately replied. “Bed first, then food.”
Jake winked and gestured to the stairs. “After you, my loves.”
Kyle went up the stairs first and Finn followed right behind him. He was halfway up the stairs when he felt Jake pat him on the arse. It was a light tap, but enough for his already straining cock to take note. He was about to get what he needed after all, and well away from the rest of their people. No one need ever know of his shame. He said as much to Jake as they took their places on the b
ed.
Jake halted Finn when he moved to rest himself over Jake’s lap. “Wait a moment, Finn. What do you mean about shame?”
“He was embarrassed at the idea of the other mer seeing him break his fever,” Kyle explained before Finn could say a word.
“I don’t care if they see me have sex,” Finn muttered as he sat back up. “I just don’t like the idea of them knowing what I desire most is being spanked.”
Jake kissed Finn briefly. “I’ve told you before, but it bears repeating. What happens between us, here in our bedroom, stays between us. No one need ever know. But, Finn, you have nothing to be ashamed of.”
“I like being spanked,” Finn whispered. “I’m supposed to be a leader, someone my people look up to.”
“And they do,” Kyle said. “They love you as much as they love Justin.”
“But they wouldn’t if they knew the truth,” Finn replied.
“You don’t know that,” Kyle argued.
“I’d rather not find out for sure,” Finn countered.
Jake shook his head. “Now is not a time for arguments. We’re finally back together again, and tonight we’re going to christen this bed thoroughly. Finn, if you don’t want your people to know what you desire, then they won’t. We have a house here, and the privacy to do what we want in it. No one will see or hear what we get up to unless you want them to.”
Finn nodded and this time when he bent over Jake’s lap, Jake didn’t try to stop him and held him securely in place.
“Kyle, the chest is over in the corner,” Jake said.
Finn glanced over his shoulder and saw Kyle was already rummaging through their trunk of toys.
“This one?” Kyle asked as he raised a paddle for Finn to see.
“Yes,” Finn replied, and Jake held out his hand to Kyle.
“Are you ready?” Jake asked. “Comfortable?”
“Hmm…”
Kyle hurried to kneel on the floor beside them, perfectly positioning himself to kiss Finn.
Finn grinned and leaned as far as he could to bring his lips to Kyle’s. Their lips connected right at the moment Jake brought the paddle down on his arse for the first time. Finn’s cock, already hard, ached with renewed need. He grabbed the back of Kyle’s head to hold him in place and deepened their kiss. He moaned into Kyle’s mouth as the paddle connected for the second time. His buttocks burned and his cock throbbed.
The third stroke on his tender arse nearly tipped him over the edge. He broke away from Kyle as he cried out in pleasure.
“Harder, fuck, Jake, harder, please.”
Jake increased the intensity of his strikes and Finn howled in delight.
“So beautiful,” Kyle praised. “I love seeing you like this.”
“Me, too,” Jake said. He halted his smacks and ran his fingers lightly over Finn’s arse. “I never thought I’d enjoy the sight of my lover’s bum, all red and tender, over my lap.”
Finn squirmed as Jake stroked him, easing his buttocks apart and slipping a finger between his cheeks, teasing his rim.
“How close are you?” Jake asked.
“Very,” Finn replied between gasps of delight.
“Good,” Jake murmured in his ear. “Because I’m close enough to come in my pants, but I’d much rather be in you instead.”
Finn moaned long and low and his buttocks clenched around Jake’s probing finger.
“Soon,” Jake promised as he took away his hand and picked up the paddle again.
Finn raised his arse as high as he could, meeting the paddle mid stroke. “Yes!”
In front of him, Kyle stroked himself as he leaned in to kiss Finn again.
They tangled their tongues as Jake continued to deliver strong, hard, smacks to Finn’s arse, each one driving Finn a little closer to his orgasm.
Finally, when Finn thought he couldn’t take any more without bursting, Jake put aside the paddle and instead used his hand.
Finn whimpered in delight as Jake spanked him several times in quick succession, each smack sending sparks of desire to his dick.
The moment he started to come, Jake gathered him into his arms and Kyle climbed onto the bed beside him to join in their embrace.
Held safely in the arms of his two lovers, Finn climaxed, his seed spilling over all three of them.
He was still seeing stars when Jake touched his forehead, checking that his fever had broken, just as he always did, as though the cum staining his shirt wasn’t evidence enough.
Finn rested his head on Jake’s shoulder and closed his eyes. “Thank you,” he murmured.
Jake chuckled. “You know there’s no need to thank me for that. I love watching you come.”
Finn let Jake place him in the middle of the bed and tend his buttocks with a cooling lotion, before he opened his eyes again. “What about you?” he asked.
Jake glanced down at his jeans and gave a rueful grimace. “I’ll have to fuck you later,” he said. “I’m afraid it’s been too long since I’ve been with the pair of you. I’ve not as much control tonight as I usually have.”
Kyle knelt beside Jake and reached down to unfasten his zipper. “May I?”
Jake nodded and Finn licked his lips.
Kyle pulled Jake’s jeans down, swiftly divesting him of both those and his cum-stained underwear.
Jake closed his eyes as Kyle licked at his cock and balls, lapping up his seed and cleaning him thoroughly.
“Kiss me,” Finn said, eager to enjoy the almost-forgotten taste of both of his lovers at the same time.
Kyle finished cleaning up Jake and turned his attention to Finn, kissing him messily.
Finn moaned as he thrust his tongue into Kyle’s mouth, searching and finding Jake’s taste.
From the corner of his eye, Finn could see Jake watching them with a small smile playing on his lips. Finn held out his hand and beckoned Jake to sit up and join them.
Their lover understood him immediately. The three of them fidgeted and shifted positions until they were able to comfortably exchange the three-way kisses they enjoyed so much.
Kyle was hard again. Finn and Jake both seemed to realize it at the same time and they reached to take him in hand. Together, they leisurely brought him to the brink, and by the time he came for the second time that night, both Finn and Jake were half hard again.
Finn was about to get on his hands and knees, ready for Jake to carry out his earlier promise to fuck him, but Jake surprised him by climbing off the bed instead.
“Dinner?” he suggested with a grin.
“Now?” Finn replied as he gaped at his lover.
“Yes, why not?” Jake asked, his grin growing wider. “I think I’ll need my strength tonight.”
Finn stuck out his lower lip. “Tease. I think you want to torment me.”
“That, too,” Jake said. “Come on. If we leave it much longer, it won’t taste as nice. Besides, Treacle has been barking like crazy. I’d better see what his problem is.”
Finn and Kyle followed Jake down the stairs. “It’s all right for you,” Finn told Kyle. “You’ve just come.”
Kyle laughed. “It wasn’t that long ago you did.”
Finn supposed he was right, even if he ached so much it didn’t exactly feel like it.
By the time they arrived in the dining room, Jake was already dishing up the food. He still wore his shirt, half unbuttoned, and begging to be ripped from his body. He hadn’t bothered putting his jeans back on and his erection was on display as he strode back and forth from the adjoining kitchen.
“Now there’s a sight for sore eyes,” Kyle said to Finn as Jake turned around, flashing his arse in the process.
Jake blew them a kiss. “Take a seat, boys. I’ll get the wine.”
“Wine?” Finn and Kyle, like the rest of the mer, had no tolerance for alcohol at all. They usually gave the stuff a wide berth and stuck to fruit juices.
“Non-alcoholic,” Jake called back. “Caspian has provided us with a fully stocked kitchen and al
l the alcohol appears to be made with you lightweight mermen in mind.”
“What was Treacle barking at?” Kyle asked.
“I don’t know. He’s quiet now. Probably he’s not used to being in a strange place.”
Finn took his seat, a little gingerly, since his arse was still sore, and Kyle sat beside him. Jake returned a moment later with a bottle and glasses. He poured them drinks and raised his own glass for a toast.
“What shall we drink to?” Jake asked.
“To our new home?” Kyle suggested.
“How about to a fresh start, not only for us, but for the rest of the merpeople, too?” Finn replied.
“To all of us,” Jake agreed as they clinked their glasses together.
As Finn sipped his wine, he thought perhaps he might get to enjoy the best of both worlds. He had Jake and Kyle, men he loved more than he ever thought possible, a new home on land and the sea right on his doorstep whenever he wanted it. He would miss his brother and his parents, but they had their own lives to lead.
“I’ve brought all your human papers with me,” Jake said. “So if we ever want to travel the world the human way, you can do so. Caspian says he or the other gods will be happy to commute us all to England for the occasional visit. And until then, we actually have a phone here, if you want to call your parents.”
“How do you do that?” Finn asked. “It’s like you read my mind or something.”
Jake smiled. “I’m finally getting a handle on my powers and yes, I did read your mind, though not intentionally. You were thinking of the love you have for your family.”
Finn nodded. “I’m going to miss them, but I feel my life is in the ocean. It’s different for Alex. He grew up on land and has a human girlfriend. Mama probably finds it most difficult, but she won’t leave my dad and she’d never be welcome in the new colony. The bitterness between her and my father is too recent.”
“You can call your mum whenever you want, though you might want to remember the time difference. I doubt she’d appreciate being woken in the middle of the night.”
