Chapter Thirteen

Cade

Cade was stuck between Jax and Ford. He glanced at the clock over Ford’s shoulder to see it was four in the morning, and as much as he tried to close his eyes, he couldn’t. Sleep was the last thing on Cade’s mind, if his grin was any sign.

The night had been so fucking amazing that he worried it had been a fantasy created in his mind. If it was, his imagination had definitely kicked into high gear.

The previous night, Cade had rushed to his apartment, and after a quick shower and teeth brushing, he pulled on a pair of soft jersey shorts and a T-shirt. He saw the few days of stubble on his face and left it. It would be just a shadow, but he thought maybe it looked good. Only one way to find out.

He let himself back into 2D and remembered he wanted to get two extra keys made for his apartment so Jax and Ford could come and go as they pleased from his place as well. He wasn’t stupid enough to think they’d want to spend a lot of time in his tiny studio apartment, but maybe when Jax was on the road, Ford would come over and… Yeah, well, who knew?

Cade almost stopped in the kitchen to grab them some drinks, but he wasn’t sure what they’d want, so he headed back to the bedroom to ask. When he entered the room, he heard the shower and a lot of moaning.

His cheeks flushed immediately, but he couldn’t drag himself out of the room. He walked over to the open door, hiding in the bedroom’s darkness as he observed Ford and Jax in the shower, loving each other. Hands were wrapped around enormous cocks, which gave Cade pause—though he knew with love and attention, things were accommodated within a body.

He wasn’t afraid of being hurt, but he was definitely worried about his own offering. He remembered a few unkind taunts in high school referring to him as needle dick, and it brought back the insecurities like a sad old song.

Marcus had taunted him about the fact his dick wasn’t thick, which hadn’t mattered because Cade had never been given the chance to fuck him. Hell, the man had barely paid any attention to his cock at all. For all intents and purposes, Marcus should have been straight because he hadn’t shown any interest in Cade’s equipment in the least.

He had, however, loved jamming his thick cock inside Cade’s ass with only a little lube on the condom. Right then, Cade was grateful he’d stuck to his guns and demanded they use condoms. He’d been tested regularly because Marcus hadn’t been his first fuck buddy, which pissed off Marcus. Thankfully, it was all water under a very dilapidated and rusty bridge.

As Jax and Ford had gotten louder, recapturing Cade’s attention, he’d been amazed at their sizable releases. He watched them clean up, and it solidified his belief that the two men loved each other. He could see it when they gazed into each other’s eyes before kissing passionately under the water’s spray.

Guilt had immediately consumed him, deflating his hard cock, which he’d been rubbing in his pajama shorts. He’d known there would be a wet spot, but it had brought him no satisfaction. He’d almost been embarrassed at his behavior, but it had been the sexiest thing he’d ever seen, off or on the internet.

When the two men had stepped out of the shower, Cade had pulled the door almost closed and considered what to do. He’d wanted to be with them. Jax and Ford were both stunningly beautiful in their unique ways—Jackson with his furry, auburn-colored chest hair that led to a lighter treasure trail, ending with a neatly trimmed bush. Ford had a clean chest and a blond happy trail that led the eye down his flat stomach to a closely trimmed bush and hairless balls.

They both turned him on, and he wondered what they’d think about his hairless body. He loved a hairy guy, and both men could warm up to the fact Cade used depilatories to ensure he was hairless everywhere. If one kept up with it, it wasn’t much of a chore.

Cade had given them one more chance to bow out of their plans with him. He’d gone into the hallway, pulling the bedroom door closed before he’d knocked on it. Without waiting for a response, he’d said, “Sorry to bother you. I’m going home. I’ll see you guys tomorrow.”

When Jax had opened the door and had grabbed his hand, Cade’s heart had skipped a beat. Both men had been dressed in towels, much like they were in Cade’s dreams when they were ravaging his body as if possessed.

“You’re never a bother, chère. I wish you’d have come into the shower with us. Please tell me you’re not embarrassed. It’s a natural part of a relationship, Cade. We want you in our relationship. We need…”

Cade had looked up at Jax and smiled. “Yeah, I need the two of you as well. I want to be in this relationship with you. I’m not exactly sure how we do it, but I’m game to figure it out if you are,” Cade had offered.

Jax took him into his arms, and Ford’s arms surrounded him, too. It had been heaven.

The two men had kissed him and stripped him down, offering gentle caresses. “Don’t worry, sweetheart, we just want to feel you against us,” Ford had whispered into his ear after he’d pulled off Cade’s T-shirt and tossed it over his shoulder.

Jax had touched Cade’s bulging dick through his soft shorts, nearly making Cade shoot off. “I guess you wouldn’t mind a little attention, would you?” The redhead’s warm breath in his ear made Cade a pile of goo as Jax shoved Cade’s shorts down his legs.

They’d both picked him up and had placed him in the middle of the large king-sized bed. Ford touched his jaw and turned his face toward him. “You say stop, okay? You let us know what’s too much. We just want to learn your body, sweetheart. We will do nothing you don’t want, right, Jackson?”

Jax had leaned forward and kissed the side of his neck as he’d made his way to Cade’s ear. “I’d never do anything you didn’t want, chère. You’re in control here.”

With a gentle nod of Cade’s head, the gods of Olympus had unleashed glorious tongues all over his body. Gentle nips and swirling kisses had landed on his chest and nipples, driving him insane. One tongue was swirling around his belly button, and another was licking the trench between his torso and his left thigh, right next to his aching cock.

Only the thought of mangled baby animals had kept Cade from shooting off in record time. “ Ah! Fuck… That’s so damn… ” he’d groaned as the two tongues had converged on his pubic area and had kissed and licked him, virtually sending him to the ceiling.

When one mouth had engulfed his cock, the other had gone for his balls, and he’d tried like hell to hold off, but it had been long enough since the last time he’d come from anything other than his own hand, which was too long ago to remember.

Cade allowed bliss to overtake him, and he’d let go and had flown high. Another eager mouth swallowed around his shooting member before it had moved away, and then another had quickly engulfed him. The euphoria he’d felt had been nothing like he’d ever imagined.

The next thing Cade knew, he was wide awake between two gentle giants. He owed them so much for how tender they’d been with him. He was more than excited to repay the debt, though he wasn’t exactly sure how to do it with there being two of them.

One at a time, he was golden, but both? Well, there were certain possibilities dancing through his imagination worth exploring, but what exactly was the etiquette in situations of the sort?

He turned on his side and snuggled into Ford’s taut body with his butt flush against the blond man’s crotch, pulling Jackson closer to him in the front. It was heavenly to be sandwiched between them. He prayed it wasn’t a dream from which he would awaken and become disappointed. That would be too cruel.

Cade heard soft voices talking over him. “I need to take my Hummer in for an oil change. I didn’t think about dropping it off last night, which woulda been smart, but I’ll be back in about an hour or an hour and a half. I’ll turn on coffee before I go. Maybe you can break some ice to make sure it’s not awkward?” Jax whispered. Cade felt a soft kiss on his forehead and heard Jax kiss Ford before he left the bedroom.

Ford snuggled into him and gently kissed his neck before pulling away. “I know you’re awake because I felt your breathing change. Do you want to talk? I’m sure you feel a little overwhelmed by last night, but I want us to discuss it, please?”

Cade placed his left hand on Ford’s hip and kissed the man’s throat, having tucked into it earlier. It felt like heaven, but he missed feeling Jax’s soft hair against his back. Being between the two of them had been incredibly comforting.

“Is there… What’s the, uh… How do we proceed? Should we not fool around until Jax gets back?” Cade stumbled a bit, trying to ask the right question as his cheeks heated.

“Selfishly, I’d like to say fuck him , but that’s something I believe the three of us should talk about together. With the relationship I think the three of us are trying to forge comes multiple separate relationships that have to be nurtured as well,” Ford said.

For a moment, Cade froze, unsure of what the man meant with his comment. Were they going to invite multiple people into the relationship? Cade was sure he’d barely be able to juggle the two men he was currently falling for.

“I’m, uh, I’m not sure what you mean.”

Ford smirked and nuzzled his nose in Cade’s neck for a second before pulling back and turning his head to stare into those gorgeous eyes. “You and I will have time to ourselves to do things, including making love—I hope.”

The words touched something deep inside Cade, but all he could do was nod. The prospect of making love with Ford was overwhelming enough, but then the man continued.

“You and Jax will have time for yourselves, including making love, I’m sure, and Jax and I will have our time together. I’d guess once we get to know each other and are more comfortable, we’ll all spend time together, including all of us making love. It’s something for us to talk about, but I’m sure Jax wouldn’t be mad if we had a little make-out session after I brush my teeth and take a piss,” Ford explained, a sexy smirk on his face.

Cade swallowed the million questions that cycled through his brain and hopped up with him, trying desperately not to blush because of his exposed, naked body and morning erection. He was happy to see Ford had one as well.

They went into the bathroom, where the tall blond reached into a drawer and pulled out a new toothbrush, peeling off the wrapper before he handed it to Cade. It felt incredibly wrong to be brushing his teeth naked next to Ford, but damn—it was like a dream come true.

“I use cinnamon toothpaste and Jax uses mint. You’re welcome to use whichever,” Ford told him as he spread the red-and-white speckled paste on his toothbrush and vigorously cleansed his mouth. Cade took a bit from his tube and took a bit from Jax’s. It was as he wanted it—both of them in his mouth at one time.

After teeth were brushed, they both pissed, crossing streams and laughing at how childish they were behaving. They washed their hands and hopped back into bed.

Cade glanced at the bedside clock, noticing it was just after seven in the morning, and he was curious about when Ford wanted to get to the club. “So, it’s seven. What time do we need to be at work?”

“I’m going to send you and Jax there around noon. I need to meet with my accountant to sign some papers, and my appointment is at nine. So, were you okay with things last night?” Ford asked.

Cade laughed. “Tell me, when two guys blow you, do you ever complain?”

After chuckling, Ford kissed the tip of Cade’s nose and pulled back. “Actually, I’ve never had two guys blow me. Last night was my first time with more than one guy. It was actually my first time with someone who wasn’t Jax for the last ten years,” he confessed.

Cade was surprised. “You guys have been faithful all this time? You’ve never stepped out for a little strange when Jax is away?”

Ford pulled him atop his muscular body. “No, I’ve never been with another guy since Jax and I got together in our junior year of college. We love each other, Kincade. You’re the first person we’ve ever met that we’ve shown an interest in.” Cade’s mouth popped open at the news.

Ford grinned. “Here’s a brief history. You already know we don’t fuck. Hell, we stopped trying about six years ago because we just can’t give up the control to bottom. It’s foolish, really. For me, it’s just that Jax is so damn big, and I guess we never took the time to learn how to prepare a lover for anal intercourse. I promise we’re going to become diligent students because neither of us wants to hurt you, okay? Believe me on that one.” Cade could see the man was being completely honest.

“I believe you, Bix.” The nickname just rolled off his tongue effortlessly, but when he heard it, it seemed to fit.

“ Bix? ”

Cade sighed as he moved the man’s gorgeous hair off his forehead. “Your messenger bag has your initials, BXT , on it in gold. I called you BX in my head for a while, even after I learned your name. You don’t like Bix ?”

Ford pulled him closer and kissed him gently, placing his hand behind Cade’s neck and guiding his lips to the soft, pouty ones that captured his attention the first time he’d met the man. “I absolutely love it. You’re so wonderful, Kincade.” Ford’s voice was soft as they kissed again.

Tongues swirled, and the two frotted against each other as they rolled around the king-sized bed. Ford had kicked off the covers and had moved between Cade’s legs, still rubbing his large, hard cock against Cade’s as the two kissed with lots of passion.

“Fuck, Bix, I’m not gonna last if we keep this up,” Cade whispered as he pushed his leaking erection against the hard pole on top of his. Ford pillaged his mouth as they continued to move against each other.

When Cade finally yielded to his baser desires and climaxed, he cried out, “ Fuck! ”

Not five seconds later, as Cade was still shooting between them, Ford groaned as he bit Cade’s shoulder. “ Goddamn, baby ,” he gasped as Kincade experienced the flood of cum from his new lover. It was an amazing feeling.

They continued to kiss as they tried to catch their breath together. Ford rolled off him and took the top sheet, wiping the jizz from their bodies before he tossed it on the floor and pulled Cade into his arms.

“I forgot how amazing it can be to start a sexual relationship with someone I care about. Jax and me, well, we seem to forget the simple pleasures of the beginning of a love affair. I’m going to enjoy this immensely.” Ford tickled Cade gently, smiling as Cade dissolved into giggles at his teasing touch.

“ Stop! I’m gonna pee,” Cade gasped out as he squirmed on the bed to get away from Ford’s long fingers. He kissed Cade sweetly before he rose from the bed, taking Cade with him. “Let’s shower. I promise, no monkey business.”

Ford could promise up, down, and sideways, but Cade wasn’t so sure he’d live up to the promise. When they got into the shower, Cade dropped to his knees and took Bix Junior into his mouth, relishing in the man’s low moan.

Having a huge cock right there in front of him was too much of a temptation for Cade. He was going to show it respect, and when Ford released in his mouth, he swallowed the offering, happily.

After they’d washed up, Cade kissed Ford gently on his chest. “Thank you for letting me have you. Do you think I can get Jax so easily?”

Ford laughed as he hugged Cade. “Oh, you could charm that man into anything. Let’s change the sheets. I’ll get ready and head out so the two of you can have your time together. Trust me, sweetheart, you’ll rock his world, and he’ll be your plaything forever.”

They laughed as they did as Ford had suggested. Cade pulled on Jax’s robe when Ford offered it before they went to the kitchen for coffee. “I’ll see you later,” Cade offered as Ford took a thermal mug to go.

“Can’t wait. Have fun,” Ford told him, offering a sexy wink. Cade noted there was no jealousy in his voice at all, and he was relieved.

Ten minutes later, the buzzer rang from the lobby hallway. “Yes,” Cade answered.

“Chère, let me up. I left my keys with the mechanic.”

Cade hit the button on the intercom, which released the downstairs door. It was a weekday, so he didn’t need to run down to the elevator to call it up for Jax. With that in mind, Cade took off the robe and placed it on the back of the couch.

He had ideas about how to start the new relationship with Jackson Delacroix, so he opened the door a crack and stood in the hallway with a cup of coffee in his hand for the big man, and nothing else.

When he heard the elevator chime, Cade wondered if he was making a mistake. The look on Jackson Delacroix’s face upon seeing Cade naked and waiting for him with a mug of coffee was more than worth it.

“Coffee and pastry? Is it my birthday?” the big man asked as he walked into the apartment, locking the dead bolt before he slipped off a pair of flip-flops by the door.

He strolled into the hallway, making Cade feel conspicuous in his total exposure, but when Jax took the cup of coffee and put it on the floor before taking Cade into his arms and kissing him silly, the younger man knew he’d made the right decision.

“I want you,” Cade whispered as he wrapped his legs around Jackson Delacroix’s sexy, tapered waist. The man was a walking muscle, and he seemed to like Cade’s lithe body, so who was he to complain?

“Oh, fuck. Is Ford… He’s already left, right? It’s my time with you?” Jax whispered against Cade’s neck as he carried him back to the bedroom.

Cade pulled away. “He went to his appointment, but are you upset about it? I mean, did you two discuss any of this?”

Confusion overtook Cade for a moment, but he knew what he wanted. He just had to be sure it was what Ford and Jax wanted as well.

“ No! No, we didn’t, but after last night—which was fucking amazing—it makes sense we’d want to be with you separately. You saw us together last night in the shower, and we were all together in bed after, which was so fucking great. It’s a logical conclusion we’d each want time alone with you.”

Cade didn’t respond verbally. He kissed his way all over Jackson’s face and neck, giving him nibbles and licks while memorizing the man’s sexy scent until Jax placed him on the bed so he could strip off his own clothes. He finally took the spot next to him, his eyes raking over Cade’s body.

The reddish-blond fur that covered Jackson’s chest and abs was such a turn on for Cade, he pushed Jax onto his back and climbed on top of him, running his tongue over every inch of muscle on the man until he felt Jax gently push him lower.

Cade engulfed the gigantic cock in one move and took a deep breath through his nose as he swallowed it down. There were things about Cade both men would learn in time, he was sure.

He was looking forward to surprising them both, which reminded him they needed some ground rules so nobody felt left out. Of course, that was a discussion for another time.

Cade moved his tongue up, down, under, and alongside. He was more than happy to play with the large piece of flesh and muscle to show Jax how much he enjoyed the act. A gentle hand brushed through his hair to alert him to the impending eruption, but it was exactly what Cade wanted—a part of Jax inside him. They’d get to the other ways to be inside him later.

An hour later, Cade felt a squeeze to his ass. He opened his eyes to see Jax’s deep greens looking at him and there was a bright smile on his face. “I guess we should get some food and get ready to go to the club? It’s almost eleven.”

Cade scooted closer to Jax and nuzzled his head under the man’s chin and attractive beard, kissing down his neck to his chest where he licked the soft hair. Seeing the man in front of him reminded Cade he wasn’t dreaming.

“I wish I could call all those bitchy cheerleaders from high school and tell them I got the captain of the football team.” Cade’s shitty high school experience came back to him. It might have been a private school, but it was hell on earth for a gay kid.

Jax held him tighter. “I’m gonna register you at the park as an employee of mine so you can come to practices and shit. I’ll introduce you around as my personal assistant, and I’ll get Al to come meet you. He’s my agent, and if I could get you to deal with the prick, it’d make my life a lot easier. I’ll warn you, he’s a jackoff and a homophobe, but he was the only person I could get to represent me after Cabo. He’s been able to get me a few… FUCK! ”

Cade pulled away and sat up. “What?”

“I’ve gotta do a commercial next week for this zoo fundraiser event in the fall. I totally forgot about it. Can I turn that kind of shit over to you to organize so I don’t miss appointments?” Jax asked as he slipped down the bed to put his head in Cade’s lap and kissed his semi-hard cock by merely turning his head. It sent a jolt down Cade’s spine.

Cade giggled. “Yeah, you can. The three of us need to work out a system. We’ll talk about it after tonight. We need to go pick up our stuff at the tailor’s before we go to the club.”

“Yeah, just give me a…” Jax mumbled before he took Cade into his mouth. No more words were necessary. By the time Jackson Delacroix got done with him, Cade was floating ten feet above the earth.
