Chapter 20 - Stan #4
“Need to what?” she asks, honestly sounding like she’s trying to understand.
“Come,” Lix answers, shuddering. “I need to come, Em. Real bad.”
“Oh,” she mumbles, mildly surprised.
I’m being bad and sucking faster while she’s accidentally edging the poor guy.
Lix hisses in a breath that makes him shut his eyes and crease his brows. What a perfect sight. Watching his brown hair flow with the breeze. His shoulders shivering down to his fingers on me.
His fist flies to grab my hair to pull me away.
Joke’s on him. My hands on his ass push him back toward my warm mouth, moaning around his cock just to torture him a teeny bit more.
“Fuck!” he shouts, scaring scattering woodland creatures outta here. Those poor things and the stuff they must’ve seen.
I laugh, my lips still wrapped around him.
“Please, Em. Oh god, please.” Lix’s deep voice is downright devastating. It’s a miracle Em can make him hold back for this long, but hey, can’t complain. I’m having too much fun.
“Oh,” Em mumbles again, sounding like she’s back from wherever her head wandered. “I’m sorry, I suppose I got distracted.”
“Great.” Lix grits his teeth, trying to put on a smile for her, but it’s all so deliciously strained. “That’s alright, Em. Can you give me permission? Please?”
She nods, but that’s not enough for me. I’m not even done messing with him, so I pull him out of my mouth fast and hold my hands up. My smirk’s menacing. I can tell ‘cause Lix is snarling.
“Whoa, whoa, use your words, Em,” I tease, fake-frowning at her.
She turns her head to look wide-eyed at me. “Stan, you’re not playing fair.”
“Hm, that’s funny,” I say, still smirking, “I don’t remember anyone layin’ out the rules. You and Lix write ‘em up without me or something?”
“Stan,” both of them chastise me.
Fucking hot.
I grin, giggling. “Okay, fine, I’ll behave for my babes.”
My lips latch onto Lix, this time sucking hard enough it could make him come in an instant.
Still, he’s holding back until Em whispers, “Come for us, Lix.”
The relief that floods his face is fucking fantastic. I feel his body give in, and how my spine shivers at the dirty sound he lets out when he finally lets go.
I don’t pull away. I don’t hesitate. I already know what she’s going to want.
“Stan,” Em says. “Swallow it.”
While I’m gulping down his come, I watch him. I love the way Lix closes his eyes tight and moans like he’s losing his mind.
When he’s coming down from the high, I guide him to sit between us, real careful, back on the picnic blanket before his legs can betray him. He leans back onto me, lookin’ hella flushed, breathing like he just ran a marathon.
Em’s still half sitting, stuck in an unsure crawling position. Her breath’s uneven, cheeks warm, eyes locked on us.
I pull her closer to us, my gaze heavy on her. “Your turn, gorgeous.”
Her breath stops at her throat. I’ve never enjoyed silence before this.
Em lowers herself onto me until we’re kissing.
My hand slides down between her legs, through her pants, taking my time the way this moment deserves it. The first touch drags this soft, filthy sound from her.
Then Lix cups her cheek and kisses her slowly, then me, and then our mouths mold in a messy makeout of three.
She melts into it, one hand reaching up to cradle his face, the other scratching my neck.
The sounds she makes turn breathy, and I feel her hips buck up, trusting me to take her where she wants to go. My fingers move faster, knowing exactly where her aching clit is. So I rub it like I mean it ‘cause I do.
I want her to come so bad while we’re both kissing her, sloppy and reckless, all heat and want and zero restraint.
Lix murmurs her name against her mouth when I break away to grunt and get full focus on what I’m doing, grinding my tented zipper against her thigh.
My fingers are lightning fast, trying to reach her sweet spot through the layers over her pretty pussy.
“Come on, Em,” I whisper. “Tell me you’re close, gorgeous. Tell me what I need to do to get you there.”
Her voice sounds strained in the sexiest way possible. “I-I’m there. I only need a bit more.”
For a moment, it’s all of us moving together without needing to think. Except my mind won’t stop with the “must make Em come” mantra. It’s kinda becoming my silent prayer.
But then Em exhales, long and shaky. Her big eyes snap open, rolling up to the sky with her breathy cry.
Lix rests his forehead to the top of her head, whispering something only she hears, making her smile even as she’s catching her breath.
I look at ‘em, at how they fit together so naturally, and I swear there’s nowhere else I’d rather be.
***
On the way home, we stop to swing by the only sex shop in Darkhaven, because guess which three ne’er-do-wells ran out of lube this morning?
Listen, it may have been my idea to let Em watch me take Lix’s ass while he fucked her, but it’s not my fault that I got so eager, I squeezed the bottle too hard and it all came out.
I repeat, not my fault.
It’s the faulty bottle design. Yeah, that has to be it.
The bell over the door rings when we step inside, heat blasting us in the face along with the smell of clean plastic and incense that’s trying way too hard to hide the perv stank.
“Ah, you smell all that flavored lube in the air?” I grin. “That’s called love, babes.”
Lix snorts under his breath but stays close, shoulders still a little tense from everything earlier. Em drifts to look around like she’s in a museum instead of a filthy place in the middle of winter.
“Stan,” the storeowner says from behind the counter. “Back already?”
“Hey, Ray,” I say, heading for the shelves. “Emergency supply run.”
He laughs. “Sounds about right. I was wondering why you weren’t here last week.”
Lix stiffens beside me, his blue eyes looking dark, narrowing in on the man at the register. I catch onto it fast, making me smirk.
I grab an armful of bottles, different types and scents. I’m someone who obviously likes my variety.
“We’re taking these,” I tell Ray while my fingers flick through a bowl of condoms, all of ‘em fun flavors. “And this whole bowl, to be honest. If you have more in the back, I’ll take everything that’s cherry-flavored.”
Ray nods, going to the backroom but not before sparing a scared glance at Lix.
Lix clears his throat. “Are you a regular here?” he whispers.
“Yep,” I say, smirking wider. “This place has seen me at my best and my worst. Got a problem with that, babe?”
He rolls his eyes, grumbling to himself while turning away from me. I fight back a chuckle and mentally note to give him more head to cheer him up later.
Ray comes back with a big box in his hands, then scans each thing I’m buying. The scanner’s beeps pass between us for a while, before he mutters, “New guy’s intense, Stan.”
“You’re gonna have to get used to it. I’m bringing my better thirds with me from now on.”
He lifts his brows, looking confused. “Your…what?”
Over my shoulder, I catch Em holding up dick-shaped candy curiously and see how Lix’s ears go pink when he’s watching her wave it around.
“We’re together,” I clarify. “All three of us.”
“Oh, shit, wow,” he says, smiling. “Good for you. Poly’s all the rave these days.”
I shake my head, grin returning. “Not a trend for me. This is a forever thing.”
He moves his head, getting a better look. “Didn’t peg you for a commitment kind of guy.”
“Let’s not write pegging off so soon,” I joke.
He chokes on a laugh, fingers pausing over the register. I chuckle this time, looking over at Em and Lix.
Em’s holding Lix’s hand, their fingers laced, both of them staring down a display of more candies like they’re examining artifacts.
She picks one up, turning it between her fingers with a thoughtful look.
Lix leans in closer, saying something under his breath that makes her laugh, light and quiet.
He smiles too, just a small one, like he’s trying not to.
My chest does that stupid thumping thing again.
I tap the counter with two fingers and nod in their direction. “Yeah, so add that whole display too. All of it.”
Ray follows my gaze and lets out a laugh. “You’re serious?”
“Dead,” I say. “Delivered to the Knights’ estate. ASAP.”
He shakes his head but starts punching it into the register.
I lower my voice. “Use Damon’s credit card for this one. We maxed out Sterling’s, right?”
That gets a full laugh out of him, so loud that Em looks over, eyebrows lifting. I throw a wink at her.
“They never check their credit card bills,” I add casually. “That’s what they get.”
Ray snorts, wiping at his eyes as the register keeps beeping. “I’m gonna pretend I didn’t hear that.”
“Appreciate you,” I say.
Em and Lix bring a small handful of candies over, still holding hands, and still smiling like they’ve got a shared joke they’re not letting me in on yet. That’s okay, I’ve got plenty for the three of us.
Em sets them on the counter neatly. Lix’s ears are pinker.
“These looked rather interesting,” Em says.
“Excellent choices.” I kiss her on the cheek. It moves her glasses a little.
Lix squeezes her hand, shaking his head, but he’s smiling when he does it. I smile back, heart feeling so full that I can’t imagine ever living a day without them in it anymore.
But just ‘cause I love them that doesn’t mean I’ll behave all of a sudden. Besides, I didn’t take this detour for purely lube reasons. Where’s the fun in that?
I’m a man who knows how to kill two birds with one stone.
I get Em for a little longer on our ride home ‘cause of this detour.
Yeah, I know. I’m petty. I’m dastardly, but I’ll take what I can get. Especially when it comes to having more time with the two of them.
Anyway, a lifetime’s not nearly long enough. I’m a greedy son of a bitch. I’m gonna drag them into hell with me when the time comes.
