9. ONYX & NICO Life in the Eternal Realm
ONYX & NICO: LIFE IN THE ETERNAL REALM
ONYX
Onyx lounged back against Nico’s bare chest. The sun streamed in from the large windows of his loft and warmed his skin.
They were having a lazy Sunday. So far, they’d only made it from the bed to the sitting area, and were snuggled together amongst the pillows of a large, circular lounger that was almost as big as the average human’s bed.
“What was the Eternal Realm like?” Nico asked, his lips brushing the back of Onyx’s head.
“It was beautiful,” Onyx confessed. “There are plenty of beautiful places on Earth, but it’s not the same.
There’s something in the air there. A shimmer.
A vibrancy. The Eternal Realm is all mountains and valleys, the cities cut into the stone clifftops.
Some valleys were even rumored to have no floor. ”
“Wow.” Nico tightened his arms around Onyx. “I’m sorry you’ll never see it again.”
“Me too, but never returning isn’t as painful as it used to be.” Finding his mate and working on his relationship with Ash and Dante made more of a difference than Onyx liked to admit.
He was content on Earth—more than happy. Even if he could go back now, he wouldn’t change where his life had ended up.
“Good.” Nico kissed Onyx’s hair. So sweet. Or it would have been if it hadn’t been followed by the sound of a muffled laugh.
Onyx twisted around, glaring. “What?”
Nico grinned. “Sorry. I was just picturing you frolicking on a mountaintop like some sort of whimsical fae creature.”
Onyx snorted. “It could be a bit like that sometimes. All carefree and frivolous. Tell me, am I naked in this mental picture of yours?”
“No, but let me fix that.” Nico closed his eyes. “Mm, better.”
Onyx settled back against Nico’s chest. “I won’t pretend I never swam naked beneath a waterfall. Or flew through the clouds in nothing but my feathers.”
“And who were you with on these naked excursions?”
Onyx smirked at the coil of lust winding down the bond. “Depends. Sometimes there was nothing sexual about it.”
“And other times?”
“You want me to tell you about the orgies, don’t you?”
Nico’s lust flared along the bond. “Of course I do. Don’t you know me at all?”
He did, in fact, know Nico very well. “I’m surprised you haven’t brought up my sexcapades sooner, my horny mate.”
Nico pinched his side. “I know how to be patient, brat.”
“Humph.”
Onyx almost said: in that case, Nico could wait, but their connection made Nico’s genuine curiosity clear, and Onyx hadn’t thought about the fun times he’d had in the Eternal Realm in centuries.
Why not reminisce and share his past joy with Nico?
“Solstices were always a wild time in the cities,” Onyx began. “Private parties, public parties. But we can get into that another time. You’ve got me thinking about waterfalls.”
Nico’s hand ran along Onyx’s bare chest, pausing to tweak his nipple piercings. “Have you had sex at a waterfall, little butterfly?”
He smirked to himself. “More times than I can count.”
Nico gripped Onyx’s hips and dragged him back until they were pressed firmly together, nothing but their underwear between them. “Tell me more.”
“You don’t mind hearing about my past?” They hadn’t gone here before—at least not in detail—and just because they went to play parties together now, didn’t mean Nico would be comfortable hearing a play-by-play of Onyx’s previous sexual exploits.
“Mind? No,” Nico said thoughtfully. “I like imagining you enjoying yourself. I don’t care that it wasn’t with me.
I mean, I’ll be a little jealous, but I can handle it if it means soaking up everything I can about you.
And let’s be real, tales of your pleasure are going to turn me on. I’m in a mood.”
“I can tell.” Onyx rubbed his ass against Nico’s crotch and the bulge hardening there.
“Very well. Let’s see what I can remember…
There was this one waterfall on the southern cliffs known for being a place men could go when looking for intimacy with other men.
One of the first times I went was with Ash and Dante. ”
“Have the three of you ever had sex?” Nico’s voice was neutral, even as a mix of indecipherable emotions spiked along the bond.
“No, we’ve never gone there.” Onyx’s nose scrunched.
“But none of us thought twice about going somewhere like the waterfall together. Dante usually disappeared to a secluded nook with his partners, but Ash and I didn’t bother with privacy.
Sometimes, I had the impression Ash was looking out for me, which was absurd.
I was hundreds of years old before I ever went anywhere like the waterfall for the first time. ”
“Still, that’s kind of sweet.”
“You just like the idea of someone watching over me, you big, protective sap.”
“Damn right.” Nico squeezed him. “And you thought Ash didn’t care about you.” He made a disbelieving sound.
“This was way back,” Onyx said, defensive, his gut twisting. “Ash was only looking out for me because I was his best friend’s little brother. Not because he cared about me.”
“Uh-huh.” Nico didn’t sound convinced, but he didn’t push. “How much older are Ash and Dante than you anyway?”
“About five hundred years, which isn’t a huge gap for Eternals, but it was enough to leave me less experienced than them in all regards.
I always teased Ash that he got off on watching me, but I don’t know if he actually had a thing for it or if he really was just being protective.
He’d get hilariously growly when I taunted him. ”
Nico chuckled. “Do you think that’s where your desire for an audience comes from? You certainly love it when everyone at the club watches me take you apart.”
Onyx’s cheeks grew hot and he was momentarily speechless. “Fuck, maybe… I’ve never thought about it.”
Was Ash the origin of one of his first kinks? What the fuck?
Onyx’s insides squirmed. “Admittedly, I loved putting on a show when I caught him looking. I’d try to throw him off his game with whoever he was fucking. Getting louder, making my moves more dramatic, leaving no doubt I was enjoying every moment of getting railed.”
Nico chuckled, full of warm affection. “You are such a brat.”
“Mm. Always have been. I’d glare at Ash, daring him to tell me to behave. But he never did. It was annoying that he never played along. Damnation, is it odd that I remember Ash watching me more clearly than I remember the Eternals I actually fucked?”
“Odd? I don’t think so. You’ve stayed with Ash the last few thousand years when you haven’t seen those other men since falling.”
“I guess…”
There was a long pause, and Onyx felt more unsettled than he’d expected of this conversation.
He tried to get a read on Nico through the bond. Was he really okay hearing about his and Ash’s weird charged animosity-friendship-whatever-thing? That wasn’t the same as random hookup stories.
But Nico didn’t seem overtly jealous as he said, “It makes sense.”
Onyx glanced over his shoulder. “What does?”
“You and Ash hassling each other. You wanting his attention. Remembering him watching you clearer than anything else.”
Onyx scowled, but he wasn’t upset with his mate. As usual, it was Ash who pissed him off. “I didn’t want him.”
“No, you wanted him to care. To tell you to behave. Not in the way you like me telling you to be good now.”
“Definitely not.” But Onyx could see how these old memories fit in with what his and Ash’s relationship had become, and how it all mirrored some of his current desires.
“You need to tell me about all your old exploits,” he complained.
“It doesn’t seem fair that you know more about me than I do about you. ”
Nico hummed. “We’ll get there. I only have about a decade and a half’s worth of stories to tell. And none of them take place in a magical realm.”
“True. I’m much more interesting.” However, one thing occurred to Onyx. “Have you ever had sex with Rowan?”
“No. We aren’t close in that particular way. Though, like you, Ash, and Dante, Rowan and I have been at the same events.”
“I can’t decide if I’m pleased or disappointed you two haven’t crossed swords. He might not be worthy, but he should still want you.”
Nico snickered and pinched Onyx’s side once more. “Oh come on, we both know you don’t actually hate Rowan.”
“Fine,” Onyx admitted, grudgingly. “But it’s fun to pretend. Though not as fun as other possibilities. Maybe I should ask him to join my club.”
The kink club Onyx belonged to was invitation only, and so far there were no other non-human members.
Nico’s affection flooded the bond. “I’m sure Rowan would love that. Now, tell me more about this orgy waterfall.”
“Orgy waterfall.” Onyx shook his head. “Fine, you dork.” He closed his eyes, letting himself remember as much detail as he could.
“The waterfall was my favorite spot because it was always bright and shining. Magically manipulated weather was excellent for creating perfect afternoons. Or evenings. The water was always warm and the scent of sex always in the air. I loved the heat of the sun on my skin as I got fucked into the surrounding grass, or in a shallow pool, listening to everyone around taking their pleasure as birds sang in the trees.”
“I can picture it.” Nico’s hands found Onyx’s crotch and toyed with his cock through the fabric of his boxer briefs. “What else do you remember?”
“I was there for my first proper gang bang. I lay in the grass all day as man after man fucked me.”
Nico dipped his hand beneath Onyx’s briefs and squeezed his hard cock. “Was there an audience?”
“Yes.” Onyx’s breath hitched. “Many Eternals watched.”
“Mm. I bet you were popular,” Nico rumbled in his ear. “I bet everyone wanted you.”
Pleasure filled Onyx.
Nico didn’t stop there. “I bet all the men who used you wanted to keep you. I bet they all came back for more. Again and again. Unable to get enough, just like me. Addicted to you. I’d love to see it happen.
Keep you impaled on my cock, bound on all fours, as everyone who lusted after you used that pretty mouth of yours. ”
“Nico,” Onyx moaned, thrusting into his mate’s hand.
“Yeah, you like that. You greedy boy.” Nico tugged Onyx’s balls, sending pleasure rocketing through him, and he had no desire to hold back.
His horns sprang from his hair and his tail vibrated around his hips as it appeared.
“Look at you,” Nico cooed. “Beautiful. Let’s get these off.” He tugged Onyx’s boxer briefs down, freeing his tail and cock.
“You too?” Onyx begged. “I need you.”
“I know you do, baby.” Nico shifted behind him, and his bare, hard cock brushed against Onyx’s tail. “I wouldn’t tell such sweet stories and then deny you. Turn around.”
Onyx obeyed, kicking his briefs all the way off. He settled on Nico’s lap, their noses pressed together and eyes locked.
Nico slotted his cock between Onyx’s ass cheeks. “Show me those gorgeous wings. The being who frolicked naked with countless men.”
Onyx freed the last of his demon features—his Eternal features—and fuck, he’d never tire of the look of wonder that lit Nico’s face every time he let his wings out.
“Is this how you want me?” Onyx loved being able to seek reassurance from Nico without worry, so he added, “You want me, right?”
“Always.” Nico gripped Onyx’s hips, lifting him up. “I want you just like this, riding me and putting on a show. Slick yourself and give me the hole that had all the Eternal men falling over themselves to get in line.”
Onyx shivered. His magic flared, slicking his channel, and he sank onto Nico’s waiting cock. The pressure was almost too much with no prep, but he welcomed it. What was the point of being immortal if you couldn’t push your body to accommodate your mate?
Nico swore, his lashes fluttering as Onyx settled onto him. “Good, perfect, tight, little butterfly. Next time I’ll make sure you have an audience to watch you fuck yourself on me.”
“Yes.” He couldn’t wait to play out all their filthy fantasies together.
Sharing everything with his mate made it better. Onyx loved that Nico embraced this side of him. Shared his desire to experience all the pleasure in the world.
“Tell me more,” Onyx begged. “I love your dirty mouth.”
And because Nico was the best mate ever, he uttered dirty word after dirty word as they fucked in the late morning sun. He hadn’t even run out of filth by the time Onyx came all over his stomach, pulling Nico into orgasm right along side him.
No, Onyx didn’t miss the Eternal Realm when he had all this.
