Chapter 18
EIGHTEEN
Jupiter
I found myself on the observatory floor, sandwiched between Draco and Aiden, staring up at the vast expanse of stars through the domed glass ceiling. The night was exceptionally clear, the constellations bright and clear against the inky backdrop like diamonds scattered on black velvet.
My body was still pleasantly sore from my night with Eris and Percy.
“Do you ever wonder what it was like?” I asked, breaking the comfortable silence. “Our home worlds, I mean.”
Draco shifted beside me, his arm pressed against mine as he took another hit from the joint we’d been passing between us. “Sometimes. My family has a few artifacts, supposedly from before the Crossing. Old star charts that don’t match Earth’s sky.”
“My grandmother used to tell stories,” Aiden said, his deep voice rumbling through me where our bodies touched.
He hadn’t moved his leg from where it was pressed against mine, the heat of him seeping through my clothes.
“About crystal cities that floated in the sky and oceans full of intelligent wildlife.”
He passed me the joint, his fingers brushing mine deliberately. I inhaled deeply, feeling the familiar warmth spread through my chest.
“The Ophis home world must have been something special.”
I exhaled slowly, watching the smoke curl toward the stars.
“I don’t know much. Just fragments passed down through generations.
Calla Orion told me our people lived close to the heart of a dying star, drawing power from its final breaths.
They built a massive structure that encapsulated the star, keeping it stable for thousands of years. ”
Aiden’s hand found mine in the darkness, his thumb tracing circles on my palm. “Is that why your eyes glow silver? Like starlight?”
The intensity in his golden gaze made my breath catch.
He’d been watching me for days now, his stares lingering longer than necessary, his touches becoming more frequent but always fleeting.
Unlike Draco’s gentle approach or Eris’s playful seduction or Percy’s angry passion, Aiden had kept his distance while simultaneously making his presence impossible to ignore.
“Maybe,” I said, passing the joint to Draco, who took it with his free hand. His other hand was now playing with my hair, spreading it out on the floor between us.
Draco’s fingers tightened slightly in my hair. “Do you ever miss it? A place you’ve never seen?”
I considered this, feeling the pleasant buzz softening the edges of my thoughts.
“It’s actually funny you say that. I’ve always had this strange hollow feeling in the pit of my stomach that I usually describe as homesickness, but it’s not quite right.
Maybe it’s my body’s way of reminding me that Earth isn’t my true home, and it yearns to go back. ”
Draco nodded. “No, I get it. It’s like a tugging feeling, or a breathlessness when you stare up at the sky. I love Earth but I think if given the choice, I’d go back to the Naga.”
We laid there, staring up at the sky for another hour, utterly content while Draco told us about the Scorpio home world, which sounded stunning and fascinating.
Aiden leaned over me, his face hovering inches from mine. I could see the flecks of amber in his golden eyes. He smelled like sandalwood and smoke.
“Can I kiss you?” he asked.
I nodded, unable to form words as anticipation coiled tight in my belly.
Unlike the explosive, desperate kisses I’d shared with Percy or the deep, consuming ones with Eris or the tender, exploring ones with Draco, Aiden’s approach was so fucking sensual I nearly came on the spot. The man could kiss.
His lips brushed mine, barely there at first, testing. Then he pressed forward, capturing my mouth in a kiss so thorough it made my toes curl. He kissed like he was memorizing me, like he had all the time in the world and intended to use every second of it.
Draco’s hand continued stroking my hair as Aiden’s kiss deepened. I felt his other hand slip under my shirt, warm against my stomach.
Aiden’s hand slid down my body, over the curve of my hip to the waistband of my shorts. He paused there, pulling back just enough to meet my eyes, asking permission without words.
His fingers slipped beneath the fabric, finding me already wet and wanting. I gasped as he stroked me, his touch confident, like everything else about him. Draco’s lips found my neck, trailing kisses along my pulse as Aiden’s fingers worked their magic.
“So responsive,” Aiden murmured, his eyes never leaving my face as he circled my clit. “I’ve thought about this for weeks, about how you’d feel, the sounds you’d make.”
I arched into his touch, unable to hold back a moan as he slid a finger inside me, then another. Draco’s hand tightened in my hair, tugging just enough to send shivers down my spine.
“That’s it,” Draco encouraged, his voice rough with need. “Let us hear you.”
Aiden’s skilled fingers curled inside me. His thumb pressed against my clit, circling in rhythm with his thrusting fingers.
“You’re so beautiful,” Aiden whispered, his golden eyes glowing in the starlight. “A fucking goddess.”
The dual sensation of Aiden’s fingers inside me and Draco’s lips on my neck pushed me rapidly toward the edge. The bond between us thrummed with shared pleasure, amplifying every touch, every sensation until I couldn’t tell where my feelings ended and theirs began.
“Aiden,” I gasped, my body tensing as the pressure built. “I’m going to—“
“Yes,” he growled, increasing his pace. “Come for me, sweetheart. Let me feel you.”
My orgasm crashed through me like a tidal wave, stars exploding behind my eyelids as I cried out. Through our bond, I felt Percy and Eris responding from wherever they were in the building, their pleasure echoing mine and extending my climax until I was trembling and breathless.
As I came down from the high, Aiden withdrew his hand, bringing his glistening fingers to his mouth. He maintained eye contact as he sucked them clean, his golden eyes flaring brighter with magic.
“Fuck,” Draco breathed, watching us with naked hunger.
I felt languid and bold, my inhibitions lowered by pleasure and smoke and the safety I felt between these two men. I sat up, looking between them with a mischievous smile. “Your turn.”
Draco raised an eyebrow. “Both of us?”
“I want to taste you while Aiden watches. Then maybe he’ll let me taste him too.”
Draco’s eyes darkened as I moved to kneel between his legs. He leaned back on his elbows, watching as I unbuttoned his jeans and pulled down the zipper. Aiden moved to sit beside us, his hand coming to rest at the nape of my neck, gently stroking.
I freed Draco’s cock, already hard and straining. He hissed as I wrapped my hand around his length, stroking him slowly.
“Such a pretty mouth,” Aiden murmured, his thumb tracing my bottom lip. “Show us how you use it.”
The command in his voice sent heat pooling between my legs again. I maintained eye contact with Draco as I lowered my head, taking him into my mouth. He groaned, his hand immediately finding my hair.
“Fuck, Jupiter,” he gasped as I took him deeper, hollowing my cheeks around him.
Aiden’s hand moved from my neck to my hair, gathering it back so he could see everything. “That’s it,” he encouraged, his voice thick with desire. “Take him deeper.”
I moaned around Draco’s cock, the vibration making him thrust involuntarily. Aiden’s hand in my hair tightened slightly, guiding my movements in a way that made me even wetter.
“She looks so fucking perfect,” Aiden told Draco, his free hand trailing down my spine. “On her knees, taking you so well.”
Draco could only nod, his eyes fixed on where his cock disappeared between my lips. Through our bond, I could feel his pleasure mounting, building toward release.
“I can’t wait to feel that mouth on me,” Aiden continued, his words sending shivers through me. “To watch those pretty silver eyes water as you take me down your throat.”
The combination of Aiden’s words and the taste of Draco on my tongue was intoxicating. I worked him faster, using my hand to stroke what wouldn’t fit in my mouth, my tongue swirling around the head with each upstroke.
“Jupiter,” he warned, his voice strained. “I’m close.”
I doubled my efforts, wanting to push him over the edge. Aiden leaned down, his lips brushing my ear. “Make him come, baby.”
With a strangled groan, Draco came, his release hitting the back of my throat. I swallowed everything he gave me, maintaining eye contact as I did. When I finally pulled away, he was panting, his chest rising and falling rapidly.
“Holy shit,” he breathed, falling back onto the floor.
Aiden’s hand cupped my cheek, turning my face toward him. His pupils were blown wide, only a thin ring of gold visible around the edges. “My turn,” he said, his voice a command I was eager to obey.
As I moved toward him, the stars continued their slow dance above us. I pushed Aiden back until he was lying flat on the observatory floor. His golden eyes widened, my hands making quick work of his jeans. His cock sprang free, thick and hard, the head already glistening.
“Fuck,” he whispered, his voice strained as I wrapped my hand around him.
I bent down, maintaining eye contact as I took him into my mouth. Unlike my urgency with Draco, I went slow with Aiden, savoring each inch as I took him deeper. The taste of him was intoxicating, like salt and musk and magic.
“Holy shit,” he groaned, his hips jerking slightly.
I felt Draco move behind me, his hands sliding up my thighs to my hips. He pushed my shorts down, exposing me to the cool air of the observatory. I moaned around Aiden’s cock as Draco’s fingers found me wet and ready.
“So beautiful,” Draco murmured, positioning himself at my entrance.
I gasped around Aiden as Draco pushed into me from behind, filling me completely in one smooth stroke. The dual sensation of Aiden’s cock in my mouth and Draco inside me was overwhelming.
Aiden’s hands found my hair, gathering it in his grip so he could watch his cock disappear between my lips. The look on his face was almost reverent, his golden eyes glowing with magic and desire.
“Look at you,” he praised, his voice rough. “Your pretty mouth feels so fucking good.”
Draco set a leisurely pace, his thrusts slow and deep, each one pushing me further onto Aiden’s cock. I hollowed my cheeks, taking Aiden deeper with each of Draco’s movements.
“That’s it,” Aiden encouraged, his grip in my hair tightening. “Just like that, baby.”
I lost myself, my world narrowing to the feeling of being filled from both ends. Draco’s hands gripped my hips, guiding my movements as he continued his unhurried pace. The control he was exhibiting made everything more intense, the slow drag of his cock hitting every sensitive spot inside me.
I moaned around Aiden as Draco hit a particularly sweet spot. The vibration made Aiden curse loudly, his hips bucking involuntarily.
“Fuck, I’m close,” Aiden groaned, his eyes never leaving mine. “You’re going to make me come, sweetheart.”
The thought of him losing control sent a thrill through my body. I doubled my efforts, taking him deeper despite the tears forming in my eyes as he hit the back of my throat. The slight discomfort only added to the pleasure.
I could feel Aiden’s pleasure building to a breaking point. His fingers tightened in my hair, holding me in place as his hips began to thrust more urgently.
“Fuck, fuck, fuck—”
His words dissolved into a long, ragged moan as he came, his release flooding my mouth.
I swallowed what I could, but some escaped, running down my chin as he continued to pulse between my lips.
I didn’t stop, continuing to suck him through his orgasm, prolonging his pleasure as his body shook beneath me.
Aiden’s head fell back against the floor, his eyes rolling as wave after wave of pleasure crashed through him. His grip in my hair loosened, his hands trembling as they stroked my cheeks.
“Fucking hell,” he gasped, looking utterly wrecked.
Draco’s pace increased slightly, his hands tightening on my hips as he watched Aiden come undone, bending to press kisses along my spine.
I released Aiden’s softening cock with a final lick that made him shiver. He looked at me with something like wonder, his thumb wiping away the mess on my chin before pulling me up for a deep, searching kiss. He tasted himself on my tongue and groaned.
Draco continued moving inside me, each thrust sending sparks of pleasure through my oversensitive body. Aiden broke our kiss, his eyes darkening as he watched Draco fuck me over him.
“Touch yourself,” Aiden commanded softly. “Let us see you come.”
I balanced on one arm, my other hand slipping between my legs to circle my clit. The combined sensation of Draco inside me and my own fingers was rapidly pushing me toward the edge.
“That’s it,” Draco encouraged, his pace increasing slightly. “Show us how good it feels.”
Aiden’s hands found my breasts, pinching my nipples just hard enough to send jolts of pleasure-pain straight to my core.
When my orgasm hit, it was with such force that I cried out, my inner walls clamping down on Draco’s cock. He groaned, his rhythm faltering as my pleasure triggered his own release. He came with a shuddering gasp, filling me as his fingers dug into my hips.
We collapsed on the observatory floor, my knees giving out, feeling heavier than ever, all three of us breathing hard. Aiden pulled me to his side, while Draco curled against my back, his arm draping over my waist.
I was breathing hard, the aftershocks slowly dissipating. We hadn’t come up here to fuck, but I was suddenly glad Draco had private access to this place.
“We should probably head back soon,” Draco murmured after several minutes of comfortable silence. “Percy and Eris will be wondering where we are.”
“Let them wonder,” Aiden said lazily, his fingers tracing patterns on my skin. “I’m not ready to share her yet.”
I laughed softly. “I think that ship has sailed, considering they probably felt everything through the bond.”
“True,” Draco conceded, pressing a kiss to my shoulder. “But there’s something to be said for the real thing versus the echo.”
