Closest to the door meant it was a guard position.Linc tended to think through stuff like that a lot.It was part of his job, but also his character to be overcautious.
I breathed him in, enjoying how Marcus’s scent still clung to him.“He’d take offense at that, and you know it.Sleepy doesn’t mean weak.”
“No, but he’s in my bed, and I should be protecting him as much as Marcus.”
I ran a hand over Linc’s side.Everything about the touch was familiar, and yet it was all new.Everything was new because we were changed.We were making an adjustment not dissimilar to how Dom and Linc had made an adjustment for me.Except that had been easy, so easy.
Linc pushed his hips back to grind against me.
“That how it is?”I whispered in his ear.
“Only if we can be quiet.Or is this weird?Do you think he’d find it weird?”
There was a chance.People could be weird sometimes—perfectly fine with the idea of having to have surgery, but then the idea of having their blood taken freaked them out.I was glad Marcus wasn’t like that.I’d be able to get him to help out with the blood drive as well as the other two.
“I don’t know.”
I felt Linc tense.He was a thinker, as Dom would put it.Dom, in his way, was a thinker too, he was just very good at not showing it.
“Do you want to?”I kissed his neck, then gave it a quick nip.
Another hesitation.“Yeah.”
“Then I’ll be quiet, and you’ll be quiet.Try not to move too much either.I’ll do the moving.”
“That could work.Uh, can you get my pants off though?”
He’d put on pajama bottoms.So had I, mostly for Marcus’s comfort.Dom had gone with just briefs, fair in the grand scheme of things since Marcus was wearing Dom’s pj’s.
Getting Linc naked involved more movement.This was like Operation, the game, except, of course, if Marcus happened to wake up we’d feel bad, but…he’d be awake.Which would be good.If he was feeling horny this morning, maybe he’d want to join.
I’d always been pretty good at Operation, even before I’d decided on my career path, and I managed to undress Linc though I kept his underwear in place.It was one thing to do this while the other two were asleep, quite another thing to come all over them.This way, it was just going to be some laundry effort.
I grabbed the unscented lube Linc preferred from the floating shelf on that side of the bed and settled back in behind him.I could smell his lust—the normal, early morning kind of wanting to have sex first thing, but something other than that as well.I couldn’t place it.If it was anything like what was going through my head, then it was wanting to keep everyone together, wanting to be enough for Marcus, and for everyone else too.
I needed more than just that scent to get ready, and before I started touching Linc, I gave myself a few good jerks.It didn’t take much.Having your mate in bed with you apparently did that.
I kissed Linc’s neck again.“Can I bite you?”
He huffed.“That’s not going to give me any ideas at all.Sure, go ahead.”
He wasn’t wrong.He did have Marcus right in front of his nose, and there was no way he didn’t want to give him the bite.I started out with licking Linc’s neck, and at the same time, I slipped my lube-slick fingers under his briefs.
In bed, Linc was undoubtedly fun.He was pretty much open to anything, and whereas Dom could be the prettiest and most mischievous bottom, Linc was hot in both configurations and easily moved between them.However, he was also annoyingly good at holding back.It had taken time for trust to grow between the three of us before Linc had allowed himself to be unraveled.
It would have been fun to unravel him now, but that wasn’t what I wanted.I could smell his reaction to me opening him up, felt the tensing of his neck and shoulder muscles.I glanced over his head, but the other two were still asleep, looking totally at peace in a sharp contrast to Linc’s subdued writhing.
After a while, Linc’s breathing started into the heavy, no longer quite rhythmic kind.He made the smallest of movements with his hips as he relaxed, and I moved my fingers faster, pushing in as deep as I could.When I rubbed his prostate, his gasp was minimal but there, making me grin against the skin of his neck before I closed my teeth around it.
“It’s enough,” he said at the tail end of another gasp.
There was no reason not to take him at his word.I adjusted my position without rocking the bed too much.Doing this without waking the others was an entirely new challenge, but Linc and I found a good angle that allowed me the best access.
His ring was still tighter than I would’ve liked, so I moved slowly, enjoying the way he shivered in response.
I licked his ear.“Okay?”
“Yeah.Yeah, keep going.”
