CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE
AIDEN
My jaw dropped as I stared at Jai. Holy fuck, had he actually just offered to go and jump into bed to start exploring the new options in our relationship?
I got the impression that he was rapidly reconsidering his words, and I didn’t want to push him too hard right at the start.
I was aiming for something very gentle and simple while we all fumbled our way through the initial stages of this, so I turned to Kade with a silent request for advice.
“I think that’s an excellent idea,” Kade said, standing up smoothly. “Was there anything in particular you’d like to start with?”
The question was aimed at Jai, and he stood up as well, moving tentatively towards the bedrooms. Despite my misgivings, I decided to follow their lead. They’d already begun experimenting with each other, after all, and Kade tended to have good instincts about this sort of thing.
“Well, I… What I was actually wondering,” Jai said, glancing back at me, “was whether there was something humans like to do that I haven’t tried yet.
Or maybe something that you do differently from the way I was taught it.
Blow jobs, for example,” he went on eagerly, turning around to walk backwards down the hall, as Kade and I followed him.
He moved with ease, even without looking where he was going.
“I was taught to do them a particular way, but Kade showed me a much better way – just using the mouth and tongue, not the throat. So is there something else like that?” He looked at Kade, hoping he could provide some guidance.
“Perhaps to begin with, blow jobs would be a good place to start,” Kade said. “You’ve had one from me, but you haven’t had one from your master yet.”
Jai stopped in his tracks, looking poleaxed.
I was all ready to jump in and announce that we didn’t have to, if he didn’t like that idea, but Kade beat me to it.
Though he said something very different from what I’d been about to say.
“I told you before, masters do that sort of thing in the Alliance. Though I’m sure Aiden will let you have a turn as well. ”
“Oh. Uh…” Jai took another few steps, then he stopped, glancing between the doorways to my room and the spare bedroom.
“My room,” I said. “The bed’s bigger. But while we’re on that topic, though, are you okay with the three of us all together? We can try something else if that’s too much.”
Jai’s gaze immediately locked onto Kade. “Three is good,” he said, just a little too emphatically.
“I think he wants you to protect him from me,” I said to Kade, in a stage whisper.
It was a perfectly reasonable precaution, from Jai’s perspective; Kade knew far more about how I would react to any given situation than he did, and was in a better position to get me to back off, if I misinterpreted any of Jai’s reactions.
But Kade smirked at me. “I think he wants to know what it’s like to have two mouths on his cock at the same time,” he said, once more pushing forward when I was trying to pull back. But to my surprise, Jai perked up at his words.
“Is that actually…? I mean, would that be…?”
“We can certainly try it, if you’d like to,” I promised him.
Then I glanced pointedly down at his pants, where a tent was starting to form in the front of them.
“If you like, you could take your pants off, and we can see if it works?” I deliberately phrased it as a suggestion, not an order.
Asking a dimari to make choices or state preferences could be confusing for them, but Jai, true to form, seemed to be an exception to that rule.
“Yes, sir,” he said hastily, then dashed into my bedroom and stripped off his pants. He sat down on the end of the bed, his knees parted. Still standing in the doorway, I fought not to chuckle.
“After you,” I said to Kade, gesturing him into the room.
He went ahead of me, then, without any prompting at all, stripped his clothes off in fast, efficient movements.
Rather than folding them, he tossed them into a corner, then knelt on the carpet in front of Jai.
I followed, peeling off my t-shirt and then sliding my pants down my legs.
While I was doing that, Kade tugged at the hem of Jai’s t-shirt, encouraging him to take it off as well.
Then the three of us were naked, and I joined Kade on the carpet.
I glanced up at Jai, thinking that I should say something, check in with him again to make sure he was okay with this.
But Kade completely skipped that step, leaning in to lick a line up the side of Jai’s cock.
It registered as he did so that Jai was fully erect, and given that I hadn’t given him any orders about it, I could only assume that his arousal was genuine.
Jai gave a startled grunt at the sensation and parted his legs a fraction wider. Fair enough. I was convinced he was participating willingly.
I shuffled closer, my knee bumping up again Kade’s, then I leaned in as well, licking a stripe up the other side of Jai’s cock.
Given the level of power I held over him, I glanced up at him again, ready to stop if he had the slightest objection.
But he had a look of sultry pleasure on his face, so I leaned back down and continued.
At first, it was a little awkward, with neither Kade nor I knowing quite what the other was going to do, and we bumped our noses and foreheads together several times – not hard enough to hurt, but it made me question whether this was going to work.
But just when I was about to suggest we try something else, Kade pulled back just far enough to give me an assessing once-over, and then a reassuring little nod.
I couldn’t have said exactly what it was, but something in his expression conveyed an idea that this was supposed to be fun.
It was not a life-and-death mission. The idea was to get Jai to enjoy this, at the same time as enjoying it ourselves.
I decided to relax, knowing Kade would alert me if I needed to slow down, and confident that Jai had enough freedom to tell Kade what he wanted, even if he didn’t have the courage to tell me.
I also decided that if I was going to be mouthing the dick of a man who was the epitome of male attractiveness, then I should bloody well be enjoying it myself.
I edged a little closer to Kade, setting one hand on his thigh and giving it a squeeze.
Then I leaned in to lick Jai again, and was quick to realise that rather than both of us fumbling over space, Kade moved to mirror my actions.
If I moved up to the head of Jai’s cock, he moved as well.
When I ran my tongue around the head, Kade did likewise.
I started testing how well he could match me, to the point that we ended up kissing each other, with the head of Jai’s cock still caught between our mouths.
A couple of faint moans and mumbles from above us confirmed that Jai was still on board with the plan.
Then, just to keep Kade on his toes, I slid my hand further up his thigh and took hold of his cock.
He let out a squeak and his body jerked.
But only a moment later, I felt his hand on my thigh – without him taking his mouth off Jai’s cock – and then his hand was around my erection, mimicking my movements.
I broke off laughing, not at all ashamed of being the one to crack first. Jai had apparently been watching what we were doing, and he chuckled as he looked down at us both.
“I have another idea,” I said, sitting back on my heels.
“You said you wanted to try something you haven’t done before.
And I’m very aware that you don’t enjoy being penetrated.
” I watched Jai carefully for his reaction, even as I anticipated that he’d be on board with my next idea – even if he was a little surprised by it.
“But were you taught much about penetrating someone else?” The language I was using was deliberately clinical, since I didn’t want there to be any chance that he would misunderstand me through an ill-advised colloquialism.
Jai’s eyebrows rose and he spent a few seconds fumbling for a reply. “Uh… no, sir, I wasn’t.”
Kade had also perked up at my sideways suggestion.
“Would you like me to be on the receiving side?” he offered.
It was a predictable response, not only because Kade was always eager to please me, but because that was the way we did things when it was just the two of us.
Intercourse wasn’t always involved, as we both knew plenty of tricks to have fun in other ways, but when it was on the table, I was always the one topping.
This time, though, I quickly shut that idea down. “No. I had something else in mind,” I said, smirking at Jai. “I was thinking maybe you should top me.”
Once again, I kept it as a suggestion, not an order.
It could well be the case that penetration of any sort had unpleasant connotations for him.
His response was to stare at me wide-eyed, apparently unable to form a reply.
And yet, I couldn’t tell from his expression whether he was aghast with the idea, or just surprised by it.
I waited, giving him plenty of time to overcome his shock, and then to think about how he really felt about it.
“I didn’t think masters did that sort of thing,” he said finally, his expression turning wary, his tone diffident.
“I know you’re taught that they don’t,” I said, being deliberately gentle. “But as I’ve said before, we tend to do a fair few things differently in the Alliance. So it’s certainly a possibility. It only depends on the specific people involved and how they all feel about it.”
