Jian was the eldest of the four trainees and his interests were clearly spiritual. That didn't deter the deep friendship Jaspir developed with the male. He always sought Jian's counsel whenever anything troubled him.
Emet, on the other hand, was the brother Jaspir always approached when he was ready for a debate. Emet loved to argue with the monks about the factual basis of their spiritual practices.
"But how have raised the funds so soon?" Adom's face turned sour. "Tell me you haven't sold your soul to some elderly matriarch.
"I haven't. When I leave, it will be as a free man, just like you and Emet. It’s actually Emet that I came to speak with. It has to do with his work for the Male Voice."
"Since when have you been interested in politics or men's rights?"
"Since last night when I learned that men's basic rights may be taken out of our hands... or out of our pants, as it were."
Without another word, Adom led Jaspir to the back of the storefront to Emet's office.

When Jaspir opened his door later that afternoon he saw Liam. The guilty expression on his face confused Jaspir until he saw who stood behind Liam.
"Ah," Jaspir closed the door behind him. "So we've been caught."
"I don't understand this." Merlyn had her arms crossed about her shoulders. Jaspir was sure she aimed for anger in her facial expression, but instead it came across as a pout. Jaspir hid his smile. Merlyn didn't like ambiguous data.
"I've looked at it from different angles," she said. "I've factored in emotions to the best of my abilities. Still, this makes no qualitative sense to me. By my estimation you two are rivals."
"We were." Jaspir tentatively reached out and then took her fingers in his own. "But we realized our goal is the same. It doesn't make sense to fight someone with a common goal. So we became partners."
"Partners? In what endeavor?"
"Your happiness," Jaspir answered. "My greatest wish is for you to be happy, and well-pleased."
"Then why do I feel deceived?"
Liam stepped forward. "I wasn't trying to deceive you. I was trying to learn how to please you. Jaspir was teaching me."
"Why couldn't you simply tell me that?" asked Merlyn.
"Why couldn't you tell me that you went to see him?" Liam responded.
Merlyn dipped her chin, averting her gaze.
"You've never looked past my calculations, Merlyn. I thought if I could make you feel the way he makes you feel then you would see me, that you would want me."
"I do see you, Liam."
Liam shook his head. "I've been in your life, right behind you for the last ten years and you've never seen me. Not until I kissed you."
"Why are you here now?" Jaspir's eyes leveled accusations at Liam. "You must have done something wrong."
"I did what you said—"
"Tell me," Jaspir said to Merlyn.
"He kissed me," she said. "Just the same as you did. But then his hands went... lower."
"Tell me what his hands did down low."
"Jaspir..." Merlyn looked away.
"Tell me."
"He pressed them between my thighs."
"Soft or hard?"
"Hard," she said the word with a hint of distaste.
"And you didn't like that?"
Merlyn shook her head.
Jaspir puzzled. He'd been certain she'd need a firm hand.
"The fabric of my dress hurt me."
"Oh," dawning cleared for Jaspir.
"What did I do wrong?" Liam asked.
"You left her clothes on." Jaspir looked between the two. Merlyn and Liam stood apart. Liam tucked his hands behind his elbows. Merlyn's fingers clutched at her loose dress. "This time you'll take her clothes off."
Both Liam and Merlyn stared. Neither of them moved. They both stood stiffly, uncertain of their own bodies.
"Merlyn." Jaspir reached for her once more. This time she hesitated. "Liam came to me and presented a problem that required scientific inquiry."
Her eyebrows quirked. "What was his problem statement?"
He had her now. "You." Jaspir said. "He wanted to understand why you had harbored feelings for me so many years after we saw each other, and to see if he could replicate those feelings for himself."
Merlyn glanced at Liam who swallowed and didn't quite meet her eyes.
Jaspir continued outlaying his methodology in the language that they both understood. "Liam hypothesized that he could gain your feelings if he observed me. Together, we designed a study of three trials. In the first trial, I taught him how to kiss you. Those results were positive, yes?"
Merlyn nodded.
"In the second trial, I tried to teach him how to touch you. But it appears some of the data was misinterpreted. I'd like to give him better instructions on the procedure, so that we have a successful outcome. Will you help us?"
Jaspir watched the expressions cross Merlyn's face. He felt certain she wouldn't be able to resist the scientific experiment aspect of his proposed seduction.
"What do you need me to do?" she asked.
"Go to the bed," Jaspir commanded.
Merlyn looked over her shoulder at the bed. Then she turned back and looked between Jaspir and Liam. Finally, she slipped off her shoes and sat on the bed. "In the first trial, early this morning, Liam kissed me first," she said. "Does that make a difference to the data?"
Jaspir grinned. "Liam."
Liam tore his gaze from Merlyn to peer at Jaspir. Jaspir inclined his head towards Merlyn. Liam went over and knelt before her. He took her head in his hands. Something passed between the two. Jaspir waited for jealousy to consume him, but it never came.
Liam's mouth met Merlyn's and her eyes fluttered closed.
"Remove her gown, Liam."
It took Liam a moment to relinquish Merlyn's mouth. He reached for the buttons at her bodice. One by one, he popped them open. Merlyn's eyes were owl wide, her breath trembled, but she didn't stop him. With the last button opened, Liam pushed the sleeves off her shoulders.
Merlyn sat before them, her brown skin gleaming, interrupted only by two angular pieces of white cotton; a bra and panties. Liam appeared unsure of what to do next.
Jaspir stepped up to his back and leaned towards his ear. "Reach behind her, you'll feel a clasp. Undo it."
Liam did as he was told. When the bra was unleashed, he pulled the fabric off to reveal two mounds of perfect breasts with dark nipples. Both men inhaled at the sight.
"Rub your thumbs over her nipples," Jaspir said. "But do it lightly."
"Earlier you said to be firm with her," Liam said.
"Not right now."
And so Liam did. Merlyn's eyes closed, her head fell back.
"That's it," Jaspir encouraged. "Light circles."
Merlyn put out a hand to Liam's chest, but it wasn't to stop him. It was to steady herself.
"How do you feel, my love?" Jaspir asked.
Merlyn's eyes were pleasure-glazed when they found Jaspir. "The sensations are overwhelming. I feel warm and throbbing all over."
"Then the procedure is working. Lay her down on the bed," Jaspir said.
Liam lifted Merlyn in his arms and stretched her out on the bed. He laid her down gently. For a moment both men stood above her and stared down, mouths watering at the succulent feast spread out before them.
"Take off her panties."
With shaky fingers, Liam complied. In an instant, the scent of her filled the room and Jaspir had to swallow several times, each swallow making his dick impossibly harder.
"Spread your thighs, Merlyn."
Merlyn pressed her thighs together. "I feel the need for friction."
"We'll relieve it, I promise."
Merlyn hesitated for the briefest of seconds before complying. Both Liam and Jaspir groaned when she did. She was glistening there. Liam knelt before her. Jaspir rounded to Liam's back so he could get a better view.
He leaned into Liam's ear, his front pressed to the othe
r man's back. "Find the spot I told you about. Part her labia."
As Liam touched her core, Merlyn let out a whimper. Her fingers went to her mouth. Jaspir couldn't decide which to focus on; Merlyn biting her fingers or Liam's search for her clitoris. Merlyn's body arched off the bed. Liam had found the spot.
"Remember how it felt with my hands on you," Jaspir whispered in Liam's ear. Merlyn's eyes opened at those words. Jaspir continued to speak in Liam's ear but his eyes were on Merlyn. "I want you to do the same to her."
As Liam began to manipulate her clitoris, Merlyn kept her eyes on Jaspir, but the trembles in her body proved hard for her to resist. She'd close her eyes in ecstasy only to reopen them a moment later to find Jaspir watching her.
"Faster, Liam."
Merlyn's moan was guttural.
Jaspir's lips pressed against Liam's ear, speaking directly. "Now, light as a feather."
Merlyn began to whimper, to beg. Her eyes pleaded with Jaspir, but she received no mercy. Then she turned to Liam.
"Liam, please. It aches. It’s unbearable."
Jaspir saw the glazed look in Liam's eyes. It was clear that Liam was liable to grant Merlyn any wish. But to Jaspir's surprise, Liam paused. His head turned slightly to Jaspir. The two men were so close that their lips were a fraction from meeting. They stayed frozen like that for a moment before Jaspir nodded, giving his assent. Liam gave Merlyn the pressure she sought.
Merlyn's climax sent her hips skyward. Liam watched her, transfixed, his hand stilled on her glistening core. Merlyn writhed from side to side taking a long time to come down. Neither male complained, both of their attention was rapt on her.
Jaspir took Liam's hand from Merlyn's core. He placed the other man's thumb in his mouth and suckled Merlyn's juices dry, all the while keeping his gaze trained on Liam. A different desire flared in Liam's eyes.
"Take your clothes off," Jaspir said. Liam stood on wobbly legs and undressed. Jaspir stretched himself down beside Merlyn. He took her face in his hands. "Did that please you, my love?"
Merlyn could only nod, her eyes still pleasure-glazed.
"Are you still angry with us?"
She closed her eyes and shook her head.
"Would you help us with the final trial? The final trial of the study is penetration."
Her eyes opened and focused on him.
"You have my heart, Merlyn. I cannot give you my body. Liam can give you both. It’s clear he loves you. I will ensure that he will please your body as well."
Jaspir looked up to see Liam naked and ready, his dick throbbing. Jaspir rose from the bed. He reached into a side table and pulled out two items. Then he stood behind Liam once more.
Jaspir took Liam's dick in hand, Liam gasped and arched into his touch. Jaspir placed a purple ring at the base of Liam's dick. "Her family would prosecute you if you got her pregnant without their consent."
Then Jaspir opened a jar of oils and began oiling Liam's shaft. He may have taken a bit longer than necessary. Merlyn watched, rapt with attention.
"Now, you're ready for her."
Liam kneeled onto the bed between Merlyn's thighs.
"Enter her slowly," Jaspir said to Liam. To Merlyn, he said, "I'm sorry my love, but this will hurt for a brief second. And then you'll feel nothing but pleasure. Liam, spread her thighs."
Liam did as he was told. He lined himself up with Merlyn's core. Jaspir came onto the bed behind Liam, his front to the other man's back.
"Slowly," Jaspir whispered in Liam's ear. Jaspir saw the pale cock disappear inside Merlyn's dark folds. The contrast was breathtaking.
When Merlyn stiffened, Jaspir wrapped a hand around Liam's chest to stay his thrusts. "Let her get used to you, it'll only be a second." Jaspir felt the fuzz on Liam's ear. He pressed his dick into Liam's ass while they waited. Liam didn't tense as Jaspir thought he might, he relaxed back into Jaspir's lap just a bit.
"You can move now," Jaspir said. The loss of Liam's ass pressed against his cock was sad, but the sight before Jaspir more than made up for it.
Merlyn arched off the bed to meet Liam's thrusts. Her hands tangled in the sheets. Her head whipped from side to side. Her lips parted and moans escaped.
"Faster, Liam."
Liam did as he was told, thrusting into Merlyn, then retreating and meeting Jaspir's dick. Jaspir was surprised that the man could still make out his directions, surrounded by pleasure as he was. Jaspir focused once more on Merlyn. She was close, but she was having trouble going over the cliff.
"Touch her clitoris again."
It took only a few circles of Liam's thumb before Merlyn crashed. Liam's body jerked in time with her convulsions, his head falling back onto Jaspir's shoulder. Jaspir let him take refuge as he looked down into the satisfied face of the woman he loved.

Liam's erection stood painfully stiff, but it didn't have his full attention. The scent of Merlyn filled his nostrils. He couldn't take his eyes off Merlyn's glistening core. He caught glimpses as she pressed her thighs together and then open, still writhing on the mattress after her climax. A climax that he'd given her, a climax that nearly made him pass out as she convulsed around his cock. He'd made her moan like that. He'd made her glisten. His mouth watered as he watched her.
As though he could read his mind, Jaspir said, "Go on. Taste her."
Liam bent his head down to Merlyn's core.
"Just like a kiss," instructed Jaspir from behind him. The other man's hand rested at the small of Liam's back like an anchor, his cock pressed lightly against his ass.
Liam placed a gentle nip at Merlyn's labia. He watched the tremble go through her thighs. He licked again, this time from the bottom to the top of her labia, and then he circled her clitoris. Merlyn arched on the bed, pushing his face into her core. Liam grabbed her bottom and devoured her.
Her taste was a mix of musk and sweetness. Liam lapped at her, getting lost in the feel of her against his tongue. His ears filled with her cries. He grasped her to him, drinking her in, swirling his tongue. He felt her muscles clench and release, clench and release around his tongue, drawing him deeper. He was lost. As the trembling stopped, she began to shy away from him. Liam held firm.
"Liam, let her go."
The voice made no sense. A firm hand pried Liam's hands away from Merlyn's bottom.
"Give her a moment to recover."
The moment Liam released Merlyn, she pressed her thighs together and buried her face in the pillows, knees rubbing against each other as though she were riding a bicycle.
"Did I hurt her?"
"No," Jaspir smiled. "You pleased her very well, more than she could handle. She just needs a moment." Jaspir ran a hand down Liam's lip. When Jaspir pulled his thumb away it was covered in Merlyn's juices.
Jaspir put his thumb into his mouth, his eyes never leaving Liam's. As though he read Liam's mind, Jaspir's lips crashed onto Liam's mouth. There was no light nipping. Jaspir took his mouth in whole. Licking and suckling. Both hands were at the nape of Liam's neck. When Jaspir let him go, the desire in his eyes nearly toppled Liam over.
Too soon, Jaspir pulled away. "She's ready," he said.
Liam had forgotten about Merlyn. He looked back down to the mattress. She was still curled in a ball, but she was watching them. Those brown-gold eyes like a recorder, capturing and analyzing everything. What did she see? What did she think of the two men kissing?
"Did I hurt you Merlyn?" Liam asked.
"It hurt for a moment, but then it was a barrage of pleasure. And then too much pleasure. It overwhelmed me."
"I'm sorry."
"I liked it."
"Take her again," Jaspir was at Liam's back, whispering in his ear once more. The hot breath stayed on his neck as he guided Merlyn's legs apart once more.
Liam lined himself up with her entrance. At his rear he felt something hot and throbbing.
"Slowly," Jaspir cautioned. "Always slowly at first."
Liam paused. "Sometimes you say g
o fast and hard, other times slow and gentle. How will I know?"
"With practice. Go on."
Liam slid the head of his cock just into Merlyn's entrance. Her eyes closed on a sigh. Liam felt his own cheeks parted and something blunt, hot and sticky at his anus. Liam held still. He was expecting to be penetrated. He wasn't sure if he welcomed it, but Jaspir went no farther.
"Go on," Jaspir commanded.
Liam wasn't sure if Jaspir meant to go forward with Merlyn or to slide back onto his cock.
Liam slid forward, deeper into Merlyn's heat. The deliciousness of it remained the same as a moment go. Her walls grabbed at him, a heated massage. When he retreated, he was met once more by Jaspir's cock at his ass.
He thrust forward into Merlyn, then back onto Jaspir. The opposing sensations threatened to rip him apart. The sweet heat of Merlyn, the hint at invasion of Jaspir. Liam couldn't decide which he wanted more. He retreated once more, sinking down onto Jaspir's cock. Jaspir's entire length lined the crack of his ass while the tip of his own cock sat just inside Merlyn's walls.
When next Liam sank all the way into Merlyn's heat, she wrapped her arms around him and placed a kiss to his forehead. Liam opened his eyes and stared down at her. Merlyn's eyes went past Liam. From behind, Jaspir took her hand and entwined their fingers. He continued to give Liam instructions, as though pulling at his puppet strings.
"Slowly, Liam."
"Deeper, Liam."
"Swivel your hips, Liam, like this."
Jaspir made a circle movement behind Liam, his cock fitting perfectly into Liam's ass. Liam followed Jaspir's machinations mindlessly, allowing Jaspir to lead him in any direction the male desired him to go.
Jaspir's thrusts increased in speed, pounding Liam into Merlyn. For a moment, Liam thought he was being too rough, but he looked down at Merlyn. Her lips were parted, her eyes wide, staring past Liam up at Jaspir.
A second later her eyes screwed shut and the most beautiful sound of pleasure escaped her lungs.
Behind him, Liam heard the same guttural yell. He felt a wetness trickle down his backside. Jaspir collapsed onto the mattress beside Merlyn. Merlyn curled up into a ball once again as the tremors took even longer to die down this time.
