“A lot. The same way I care for both of you,” I said. Pollux leaned close and brushed his face against mine, soft fur rubbing my cheek like a pleased cat. He was happy I liked Brandon it seemed. Caspian watched closely as we touched.
“And Makwa?” Caspian finally asked when Pollux pulled back. They both looked down at me with heavy attention. I swallowed.
“What are you asking? If I feel things for him?” Pollux nodded but Caspian looked mildly startled.
“Youfeelthings for him?” He asked in confusion. “A ghost?”
“I don’t know how I feel,” I sighed, annoyed by his reaction.
“He’s possessing you,” Caspian said in distaste and I felt agitated by his words.
“Are you judging me? I said I don’t know, okay? He saved me though. He promises me things, and there’s a connection. I can feel him, see his memories sometimes...”
“Ava,” Caspian sighed, tension draining from his body. He pressed a delicate kiss to my mouth. “I’m not judging you. I’m just confused and worried… “ I could hear him swallow as he pressed his forehead to mine. I knew what he needed.
“I love you,” I said and he relaxed more, all tension leaking from his body. “That’s never changing. Let’s not talk about Makwa for now.”
“Is he here? Is he talking to you?”
“No, he’s gone. I pushed him down for now. It’s just us.” Caspian let out a relieved sigh and pulled back to look down at me with a smile. His thumb brushed my bottom lip, his focus becoming dazed as he concentrated on my mouth. Pollux looked over at Caspian before he pulled out his notebook and began writing.
“You liked earlier,” he had written to Caspian. Caspian’s eyes cut to him, an irritated expression swiftly coming over his face. Pollux tilted his head to the side and a little smile curled up his face.
“Earlier?” I asked. Pollux smiled wider at a glaring Caspian.
“Maybe,” he finally admitted, his eyes dragging down to Mothman’s chest. He had opened up his coat to reveal the start of his furred body. Caspian’s attention moved to me, his focus settling on my mouth again. He brushed his thumb over the bottom lip a few times then slowly parted my lips.
I tasted his skin, salty on my tongue. My tongue dragged up his thumb and I began to suck slightly. His eyes widened and a slow smile spread on his face.
“Do you want to do more, Ava?” He asked.
“Yes,” I whispered, my eyes darting between the two of them. Caspian hummed and smiled. Pollux was watching Caspian intently, waiting for his cues, holding off and allowing the other man to lead. Pollux was an encourager but perfectly fine allowing Caspian to set the pace of his comfort. I appreciated that he did that because it had been a huge struggle at the beginning for this all-encompassing relationship to develop. Plus, we were still learning.
The fact they kept sharing me togetherandthat it seemed almost natural, was amazing to me but also overwhelming. Justoneof them was overwhelming. When they worked together in a rare display of companionship I could hardly keep up with the demands they placed on my body. Which was why I started to tremble a little as they both began removing my clothes.
Pollux’s dark clawed fingers pushed under my dress, lifting it higher. Caspian’s calloused musician’s fingers dragged across my skin as he pulled my panties down.
Pollux pressed his fingers into my hair, massaging my scalp as his coat brushed against my naked front. Caspian dragged his mouth across my collarbone, breathing me in. His lips pressed to the fluttering pulse in my neck.
“It’s okay, Ava. We’ll make sure you feel good,” Caspian murmured.
“I’m afraid of just how much you want me to feel good,” I whispered. Caspian gave a soft, rolling laugh that purred across my skin. They’d worked together to push me over the edge so many times before that it was near torture.
Both men slid from the bed and began removing their own clothes while their eyes skated over me. I felt lonely and on display as they looked down at me. Goosebumps popped out over my arms and legs.
The last time we were all together Mothman hadn’t really participated other than to hold me close and use his tongue. I was a little surprised he was taking off all his clothes with Caspian in the room. It spoke to how much he trusted him because he’d been tense at first to show me all of him—his furred body and peculiar legs. The clothes created the allusion that he was more human-like than he was.
Pollux pulled it all off, baring his alien-like appearance before he climbed back on the bed. Caspian gave his legs a passing glance before his attention was back on me. Pollux's legs were less shocking to see now that I knew what to expect. They were long and bent dramatically at the knee. His feet were long too, with giant hawk-like talons on the ends.
Pollux pulled me into his furred body while Caspian climbed on the bed with us. I wrapped my arms around Pollux and let his comforting presence lull my worries away for now. I knew he wasn’t all-powerful but he inspired safety in me after all the times he’d rescued me before. Also, he’d gone off to find Caspian when he hadn’t come back. He’d risked himself for him and paid the price for it. He wanted to protect us both, all of us.
“Ava,” Caspian mumbled into my hair as his body pressed in close. His hands dragged down my back and squeezed my ass roughly. “Will you do something for me?” He asked.
“Hmm?” I kept my face buried in Pollux’s fluff as he scratched my head with his claws. Caspian lightly nipped my ear and then pressed his mouth against it.
“Do what you did before,” he whispered.
“What?” I asked, unsure what he was referencing.
