“Do they want me at Vinegar Hill?” I asked, touching my side where I felt a particular bruise that ached down to my kidney.
He laughed quietly. “What can ye do in the state ye’re in? Stay here. Keep an eye on Vail. Make sure he doesn’t go do something stupid, aye?”
I nodded and offered him a smile. “Sure.”
Rowen stepped back and went to turn, but I called his name, making him look at me again.
“Listen, um.” It wasn’t often I was at a loss for words, but we were in this together. Vail was all of ours now. “I know Vail was yours first, and we all put a claim on him. There’s no hard feelings, right?”
Rowen blinked at me and for some reason his hair seemed redder under the bathroom lights. He cocked his head in thought before chuckling. “Nah, it’s fine. Vail is... special, and he has enough love for all of us, doesn’t he? I’m happy to share him if it means being part of his life.”
My throat closed with nerves and I stood there awkwardly, not sure what else to say. “Good. Um, yeah.”
He snorted. “That’s the first time I’ve seen ye speechless. Did the Knockout Boy punch some sanity into yer noggin?”
“Go fuck yourself,” I said with a laugh.
He shook his head and grinned. “Just take care of Vail. Don’t let him leave the house. We’ll be back later.” He pointed at me like a parent would and left the bathroom. The sound of the bedroom door clicking shut met my ears. Chuckling to myself, I shifted slowly back into the room and toward the bed, where Vail’s soft snores came from. He was still deeply asleep, his chest rising and falling in short puffs. He’d kicked the blankets off while I was taking a piss, and he was adorable like this—vulnerable, naked, and skin gleaming from the setting sun that filtered through the curtains over the window to our right. Fuck, no matter how much pain I was in, he had me hard. No other guy could do that.
It didn’t matter that my body hurt all over, I wanted him. Smirking, I walked stiffly to the bed and gently sat on it. Vail groaned at the shift of the mattress and turned to his side, the length of his back and pert ass on display. My mouth watered. I wanted to eat him up, in all the different ways I could. As tempted as I was to spread his cheeks and devour his asshole, my cock ached in a different way than my injuries and wanted the warm suction of his body.
I lay down, ignoring the twinges and shooting pain as I shifted closer to Vail. I ran my fingers along the knobs of his spine, and he sighed in pleasure, but the soft snores continued as I reached his bubble butt. Slipping my fingers between his cheeks, I laid a kiss on the top of his back.
“Are you awake?” I whispered but didn’t get a response.
I touched my fingers to his hole, and while it was still loose from Rowen, it was drier than what I needed. When there was no response, I lifted the blankets and let out a relieved sigh as I spotted the lube. I reached for the bottle. The twist of my body had me huffing out a gasp of pain as my ribs twinged because I had to roll over completely to grab it with my arm in a cast, but I managed to get it in my palm and turn back over. Even through my grunts of pain, he hadn’t woken up.
“I’m going to fuck you awake,” I growled out, a feral feeling curling in my gut and making my cock throb in pleasure. I was pretty sure he’d said at one point or another he didn’t mind this type of wake-up call; he always said to do whatever we wanted with him. Lust thrummed through me and my balls already felt sensitive—ready to unload.
Flipping open the lube lid with one hand, I stared at my current situation. Realistically I could only do this with one arm, which made it a whole lot more difficult, but not impossible. I’d just have to get creative. I could do that.
I passed the lube to the hand in the sling and used it to squeeze out the liquid onto my fingers. My arm twinged and I might regret this once the pills wore off, but for now I would live. Once I had the lid closed again, I awkwardly fumbled through using my palm on my useful hand to throw the bottle back on the bedside table. Some lube glopped on the sheets. Snickering, I used my slick digits to open Vail up. I worked him carefully, and he made slight noises that had my cock jerking. He shifted, and I stilled, waiting for the inevitable moment when he’d wake, but he didn’t.
“You must be tired,” I murmured to him.
He fell onto his stomach and spread his legs, inviting me to continue and egging me on with a whimper. I smirked and pressed my fingers deeper into him, and he groaned.
“You’re a dirty slut for it, aren’t you?” I kissed the skin between his shoulders. “My dirty little whore.”
He buried his face into his pillow, and the rise and fall of his chest told me he was still closer to sleeping than being awake as I shoved my fingers into his sweet heat until they were knuckle deep. Not long later I had him ready for my cock.
I wriggled closer and pain exploded when I bumped my side against his elbow, and I held in an agony-filled curse. Shuddering, I took a few deep breaths before I forced myself up onto my knees behind him. With my left hand, I spread his cheeks and lined my cock up with his hole, pressing inside him. Warmth welcomed me home like a long-lost lover and I moaned in need as his hole swallowed me up, drawing me into him.
“Fuck,” I murmured, kissing the back of his neck. “You’re so fucking tight.”
Vail gasped, and I knew the moment he woke up because he turned his head to look at me over his shoulder. “Fallon? Oh fuck.” He shoved himself back against me until I was balls deep and sheathed inside him. “You’re hurt.”
“Hm, that won’t stop me from fucking you,” I whispered into his ear, kissing the shell. “You were so hot lying there, told me to do what I wanted to you, so I am. I wanted to fuck you awake.”
“Sogood.” He spread his legs wider and tilted his hips up, making me slip in farther, which I hadn’t thought was possible. “Fallon,please. Fuck me. You feel so fantastic.”
“Yeah?” I nibbled at the back of his neck and to the top knob of his spine. I couldn’t get enough of him. “You want this?”
“Yes,” he whispered, grinning over his shoulder at me. “But only if I can fuck you, too.”
I froze, balls deep inside him, and stared. His eyes twinkled and he awkwardly twisted and reached back to cup my cheek.
“You said you wanted someone to fuck you earlier.”
