"Yeah?" Wraythe asked.
Talin just grinned. "Remember, I like masculine men, and most guys like you? Not gonna let me fuck them."
Wraythe shifted his arm to curl behind Talin's back. "Not really into the ass stuff. Fucking hate facial hair. Dicks are weird. Besides that, I'm not really worried about it."
Ela stepped out of the bathroom, proving where he'd gone when he disappeared. "Good to know." Then he lifted a pair of damp cloths. "So, who wants to teach me about aftercare?"
"Give me those," Talin said, getting out of the bed as fast as he'd gotten in. "Fucking desires should know better than to try to clean up after yourselves, and Wraythe's gonna be useless for a few more minutes."
"Mhm," Wraythe agreed. "That was everything I'd hoped."
"And it will happen again," Talin promised.
"A lot," I decided, because I could handle as much of that as they were willing to give.
Chapter 13
Wraythe
Finding sleep that night took longer than I expected. Nari, Talin, and even Ela were breathing softly, yet I lay on the edge of the bed looking at them. That woman was everything to me, but I couldn't quite wrap my mind around how I felt about the other two. I didn't find them sexy, but I could remember being a boy resigned to ending up with an ugly woman, at best – or alone, at worst. So did physical attraction really matter?
Amerlee was a perfect example. She loved Jamik. She didn't even like men, but she'd fallen in love with one because he was her best friend. Ela was mine. He'd been my hero for as long as I could remember. Talin was a good guy, and a lot more fun to hang out with than I'd expected. Still, it was different. I didn't want to kiss them, let alone do anything more. I didn't mind cuddling with them, but it felt... different.
Yet when Ela had pushed into Nari's body, I'd felt his dick sliding into her and grinding against me. It had been good. Fucking amazing, actually, but I didn't want to grind my dick against his. I wanted to feelher. I wanted to kissher. I wanted to loveher. So what was I doing with them?
Was I bisexual? I was pretty sure the answer to that was no. I also didn't look at Talin and Ela as brothers. They were friends, partners in crime, and something else. I couldn't quite explain that last thing, I justfeltit. Confidants, maybe? Emotional support, definitely. All three of these people were the things I wanted to protect. I would gladly risk my life for any of them, and that meant I loved them, but that word was so tricky.
I wanted to share Nari with them again. I wanted to feel the rush of us all together. I couldn't stop thinking about how much I'd liked grinding against another man inside her. I even liked it when Talin curled up beside me and I could feel his trust - and that was the part that had my mind spinning. Did I like guys after all? Maybe even a little? Or was it just that I liked being the protector?
In his sleep, Ela shifted to press his face against the back of Talin's neck. There was something so sweet and innocent about it, and considering that it was Ela, those weren't words that applied to him when he was awake. That Talin's hand shifted to cover Ela's arm proved it was mutual, and I found myself smiling.
They were all mine. It didn't really matter how, did it? What we were doing worked. I loved watching those guys touch Nari. I couldn't get enough of the sensuality between them. It was my biggest turn-on, but I was always watching her, not them. I also wasn't dumb enough to dislike something that felt good. If I could get off with my own hand, then was it honestly that strange to have an orgasm from grinding against anything else? Even another man? Or was it more that I trusted them enough to know that it didn't really matter?
They were my friends. My partners, even. That was the best word for it, I decided. Nari was my lover, but they were my partners. The guys who helped me love her even more. The friends I could care about without needing to worry if they were going to laugh at how tiny she looked sitting on me, or how big my feet were. Sometimes, we all needed a little physical connection to remind us that we weren't pushed out, and that was why I liked to cuddle with them. It made me feel real, like I was an actual part of this even though I only lovedherromantically.
And all of that was ok. They accepted my limits. Oh, sure, Ela always pushed them, but that just made me become a better man and guardian for him. Talin went the other way, accepting my lack of desire for men as something so inherently natural that I didn't feel ashamed of it. Then there was my sweet little Nari.
I reached up to push her hair back, watching as her lips curled in sleep. She was so beautiful, and not just on the outside. Her body turned me on, but it was the rest of her that I loved so much. I liked how she allowed herself to feel things, making it ok for the rest of us to do the same. I loved how she thought she was completely normal, yet even our god was obsessed with her. More than all of that, I loved her because she was scared of nothing, enamored by the smallest things, and so very easy to just be myself around. She made me feel like I had something to be proud of, and I could never figure out how she managed that.
I stroked my fingers through her hair again and finally let my eyes close. I hadn't exactly figured out how I felt about this thing between me and the guys, but sleep claimed me too fast. That night, my dreams were light and happy, even if I couldn't remember them, and I woke up the next morning and decided that it didn't matter. I wasn't going to worry about lines or limits. If I didn't like something we did, I'd just tell them, and that was all there was to it.
But it was the weekend, which meant we all started moving a little slower than normal. Nari most of all. She wouldn't say a thing, but I noticed her expression change when she got out of bed. Her steps were also a little smaller, which meant she was sore again. From the way Talin was watching her, he'd noticed too.
I couldn't tell if Ela had also noticed. He didn't stare when her back was turned, but he did go out of his way to make her tea so she didn't have to get up. He also said he'd pulled something last night, so he asked if we'd walk slowly on our way to breakfast. I figured it could've happened, but I had a feeling he was taking care of our girl in his own way.
Somehow, I ended up sitting beside her at breakfast and across from Talin. When she shifted in her chair for the millionth time, I couldn't take it. Without thinking, I reached over to rub her back lightly, then leaned a little closer to keep anyone from listening in.
"You doing ok?"
She smiled up at me. "Yeah. Just kinda, um, fidgety."
"Sit on your thighs more than your butt," Talin suggested. "And Ela will be good tonight."
"Better be," I grumbled.
Ela laughed once. "I promise I was as gentle as possible."
"He was," Nari assured me. "I'm fine, Wraythe."
