CHAPTER 6
The bed fit well into the small corner of the room. Fortunately for Zak, he didn't need much, except a safe, dark, room and a bed. "There, that should do."
"Sorry about the space. For some reason I always thought this room was bigger." Robyn stood in the doorway, sheets and a pillow in her arms. She had offered to help move the bed down the stairs, but Zak had only laughed at her.
"Don't fret Milady." He took the linens from her. "It has all that I need, protection from the sun and a bed."
"I talked to Robyn, we'll have another alarm system put in for you, though her house is Fort Knox compared to mine." William wormed an arm around him.
Zak smiled down at him fondly. "Hello, Beloved."
"All right you two, we will have none of that." Robyn chuckled. "Young lust, ga'damn."
"G'damn?" Zak lifted an eyebrow at her.
"No Fang's, it's ga'damn. Don't worry you'll be saying it before long. All Robby's friends end up using it eventually."
Zak turned his most brilliant smile on Robyn. "So, Milady, do you agree? Shall we be friends?"
Robyn crossed her arms over her chest, and gave him a measuring look. "How come some men can say friends, and make the word sound more loaded than a Wino after a bottle of Mad Dog." She laughed at his chagrined expression. "Sure, friends we'll be. Now, I don't know about the two of you, but I'm going upstairs and sit down before I fall down. The pain is gone, but the damage isn't. So you two joining me, or do you plan to christen the bed?"
"Go on up Hon, we'll be along in a minute." William grinned at Zak.
"Yeah, right, sure. Well if you take too long, either, go ahead and sleep in, or lock up as you leave." She turned to hobble back up the stairs, muttering something about her luck, and men.
"You going to be okay love?" William went willingly into a full embrace. "She takes a bit of getting used to, but she's cool."
"The Lady and I will get along well. It's you I'm worried about. Living away from me. Especially after our bond, you will always need my blood, but it will be need nightly for a while."
"I'll get a key from Robyn, and be here when you wake up. I'm kind of interested in building on what we started, and that's damned hard if I'm not with you."
Zak's arms tightened as his mouth closed over William's. It was so good now. His waiting had been painful he had wanted to do this for so long. But now, as his tongue met his lovers, and a hand pulled at his shirt seeking flesh, it was wonderful. The wait had made this beautiful surrender all the sweeter. His head pulled back so he could look down into the beautiful hazel eyes of his lover. "I want you."
"Wait--Robyn." He hated to admit it, but they really should go back upstairs.
"Will be fine for a few more minutes." He lowered himself to his knees, fingers reaching for William's belt. "Lay back love, I must have at least a taste. I have longed for this for many years now. Don't deny me."
William let him push him back on the bed, lifting his hips so his friend and lover could pull his jeans past his waste and hips. "Hurry." The promise of wonderful pleasure was stimulating. His manhood stood erect and hard, throbbing with pent up passions, as cool lips closed over it. He cried out softly at the pressure. No one had ever blown him the way Zak did. It was so cool, so snug. Jaw muscles working to create a vice of velvet wetness that stole his whole being. "Zak--I--" it felt so good.
Zak's hands rose up William's body stroking touching, loving every inch of skin they came in contact with. Pleased at the responsiveness of his lover to his touch. William belonged to him now. After over four years of patience his reward writhed beneath him.
William's body tensed as the pleasure, that the wonderful wet pressure of Zak's mouth, brought him to his point of ending. "Now--I'm going to--" His hips rose, thrusting forward into the fabulous pull, his loins spasming as his lover took the release, pulling harder draining him of every last trace.
He could taste himself on Zak's lips as his lover kissed him. "Don't stop, please, Zak. I--" He wanted it now. More than anything he had ever wanted in his life, he wanted to, feel, Zak in him.
"Soon Beloved, very soon. But for now, we both must be patient. Let's go upstairs and be proper guests. When she retires, I will take you. But if I do so now, it will be dawn before you leave this room. For I fear once will not satisfy my lusts." His actions on William's body were making lies out of his words, for even as he spoke of pulling away, his hands still sought to touch, and to feel. Enticing his new love with promises of greater pleasures.
"Yeah," again that soul-stealing kiss, and those hands, he could feel Zak's love, it was like a blanket that covered him, as surely as his lovers body.
A sound at the door caused Zak to look up. Robyn stood there, a look of supreme fury on her face. "You Shmuck!" the book in her hand flew towards them, to be snatched out of the air by Zak. "I'm upstairs feeling like a fucking pervert because I keep imagining what the two of you are doing down here, I couldn't stop thinking about it. So I decided to come down and ask the two of you to wait till I go to sleep, just to find out it wasn't my imagination." Then to Zak, "what the fuck did you do to me?"
Zak looked from her to William and back again. "Wait. You were aware of our activities?"
"Aware? Man, I almost came because of them."
Zak looked back to William. "I was not aware." He looked embarrassed. "The two of you have been lovers?"
"Well yeah, not really lovers more like fuck buddies. Why?" He took the book out of Zak's hand. "Desire's Pinnacle." The very tone in his voice spoke volumes about his disgust. "Robby, you threw a romance at me." He dropped the book as if it burned him. "A bodice ripper. Robyn, I'm disappointed."
"Fuck you." She moved towards them. "It's the closest thing I've had to a love life in a while." Then to Zak, "okay, you want to tell me why my having slept with Will is so all fire important."
Zak pulled away from William, letting his most, beloved, husband redress quickly. "I have a blood tie with both of you." He spoke slowly trying to make sure that the words he chose would explain the problem. "Now it would not have mattered if I didn't also have a bond with William. He and I are linked by blood, me to him by feeding, him to me by his acceptance of my blood." He sighed. "The two of you have a link. One of both love and passion, so it calls out through the tie you have with me. I am sorry Milady, had I known I would have warned you of this before doing anything."
Robyn sat on the bed, a look of shocked dismay on her face. "Are you telling me that because you bit me, from here on, every time the two of you go to make like bunnies, I get to be a unwilling partner to it all?"
"Unfortunately." Zak looked down. "I am sorry Robyn, please believe me."
She bounced back up. "Great, just fucking great. Thanks guys, this is just what I needed." Several more choice words came out, mostly dealing with what the two of them could do to and with themselves, unfortunately for the most part the suggestions were also anatomically impossible. "Okay." She tried calming down, to think this through. "So is there anything we can do about this. I mean, what are the options?"
"If we leave, you might feel less through the tie. But other than that." he shrugged.
"Great, oh ga'damn but this is just my luck." She headed for the door. "Well I guess I need to invest in Energizer stock, because I can see a great need for lots of batteries in the real fuckin' near future. Thanks Will. I love you too."
William watched silently as Robyn left the room. "Oh shit." He laid a hand of Zak's shoulder. "I better go talk to her."
Zak nodded smiling sadly. "I am sorry love. I honestly did not know. Nor would I have read, either of, you without your permission." Though the smile on his face was gentle, it did not touch his eyes, and the pain in his voice came near breaking William's heart.
"I know Zak." He hugged him close. "Don't let it get to you, we'll work something out. Maybe she can join us, that way it won't be so bad."
"Yes, tell her, she is welcome if it will help. I will cherish her as dearly as I cherish you." He caught his hand. "I love you." The words were a desperate plea for understanding.
William bent and kissed him softly. "I know Zak. I love you too, always. Wait this isn't the end of the world. I promise, I'll fix it."
Robyn looked up as he came into the room. Tears streaked her cheeks. "I'm not overly happy right now. You're not my favorite person in the whole world at this moment." Were her only words, but the hurt in her voice was like a knife in his gut to him. He had not meant to hurt her like this he would never hurt her.
"No Hon, I don't guess I would be." He sat beside her. "Zak feels just awful about this."
"My heart bleeds." She pulled her ten pounds of hair back out of the way. "Damnit, Will, now what am I supposed to do?"
"Well, you can always join us." His tone was, half, hopeful, as he looked at her. "I mean you would have anyway, sooner or later. So why not now?"
Robyn looked at him, surely she didn't hear right. "Say what?"
"Come downstairs and join us." He put an arm around her. "I know it's been a while for you."
"Just like that?" Her jaw was lax with shock. "Will, I'm still coming to terms with him being a vampire. Now you want to make it a threesome?"
"Well," he brushed the tears from her cheeks. "Look at it like this. It's a threesome no matter how you see it. Least this way you get something out of it. I always thought you were strictly a participant. I never saw you as a spectator."
She sat there looking down at her hands. William had a point, and what had she said to her brother earlier about getting laid in the bargain. It just never entered her head that it would end up the way it did. "You sure, Will? I mean we've shared a lot of things over the years, but this goes a little to the extreme."
"Baby, this is me you're talking to. When have I ever been the least bit reluctant to crawl into bed with you? Hell girl, we were each other's first. I love you, you are my best friend and bosom buddy, pardon the pun. I love Zak, more than I could ever tell you. So for me, having the two people I love more than anything else in the world, with me at the same time." He smiled winking. "Twist my arm."
"Pervert." She punched him lightly. "Okay, yeah, what the hell, he is prettier than sin isn't he. But he's got to come upstairs. That little bed won't hold all three of us without serious crowding and I've got damaged parts to consider."
William hugged her. "We won't hurt you baby. Zak's very good about being careful. He's so fucking strong that he has to be." He tilted her chin up, kissing her. "You should have called me sooner. I'd have come over and made you purr."
She lay in his arms for a moment, enjoying the pleasantness of his kisses. "Well, maybe you should go get him." Then she stopped. "No, I guess I need to be the one. After all I did just cuss him out, didn't I?" She pulled away standing up. "Be back in a minute."
* Zak , * William sent softly. * Robyn is on her way down to invite you up . *
* Yes, I hear her . * A brief mental hug, before, breaking.
Robyn knocked on the door before opening it. "Zak?"
"Please come in." He rose standing. "So Milady, what is the verdict? Do I live?"
She giggled at the half hopeful, half-hangdog look on his face. "Will and I talked," she blushed. "And well, if I'm going to be a third party whether I am physically present or not, I might as well get something out of it after all." She didn't flinch or pull back as Zak moved to pull her close. "Just remember, I don't hurt, but I've had quite a bit of damage done to me. You guys have got to be careful."
Zak smiled down at her softly, reaching to run his fingers through her hair. "Of that you can be assured pretty one. I would rather die than hurt you." Robyn felt as if she could loose herself in his eyes, so dark blue as to almost be purple. "I offer only pleasure." Goosebumps, at, his whisper, "never pain."
'Oh, ga'damn' , she thought to herself as his lips met hers. 'Oh, Ga'Damn' , it had been so long. Her loneliness called out for this. Body tremblingeven as he lifted her, mouth opening, sucking on the tongue that sought entry.
Zak moved with slow sureness never breaking the kiss as he climbed the stairs. Her pain, her great need for closeness very painful to him. He, who understood that horrid feeling of pain so well, ached for her.
William stood at the doorway smiling as Zak and Robyn reached the landing. "Well, I guess that answers that, I was a little worried. It was too quiet." He pulled Robyn close as Zak lowered her to her feet. "He can be mighty persuasive when he wants to be can't her?"
Robyn grinned up at William. "Oh ga'damn. You should have told me about him months ago."
William just shrugged. "So, shall we retire? I have a hard on that could break rocks. And just think, I get both of you." But the smile on his face faded as Zak pulled Robyn's T-shirt from her. "Baby?" It was horrible, huge fist sized bruises colored her ribs and belly. He turned her, swearing softly as her back looked like someone had taken a meat tenderizer to it. "Oh, damn Robby. They really got you this time, didn't they?"
"I'll live, a few bruises, a little muscle damage, but no broke bones. They made sure of it. Said that that was for the next time." Her eyes closed as Zak's hands joined William's. "It could be worse, one of them had wanted to rape me, but was vetoed. The apparent leader has a kid my age and well, beating the shit out of me was one thing, but he don't take what isn't offered." She laughed bitterly. "A thug with morals, go figure."
"They are dead men." Zak's soft voice, which moments ago, had, been so loving was now death itself. "No man will ever touch you again my pretty one. I swear it. I will make them pay for this." How could anyone be this cruel? He had never seen anyone with this many bruises, and still alive, in his life.
Robyn turned going into his arms, resting there. "If it is all the same. I'd just as soon you made me forget about it for a while."
William moved, pressing against her back. "We will baby, we will." His eyes lifted to lock stares with Zak's. A silent agreement between them was passed, a male pact to defend, protect, and care for the woman in their life. For Robyn meant so much to him, and he knew that Zak would understand and accept her as much as he did. "Come on Hon, let's go to bed. You shouldn't be up."
Zak lifted her again, holding her close, his protective nature high. He would see her safe. He would end this terrible loneliness in her as he had William. He had two mortals now, two to love and cherish, and he swore to God and all that was holy that no one would ever touch either. He swore this, not, as long as he lived.
William led the way back to Robyn's bedroom and the King sized waterbed that she had there. Part of him, the part that loved watching Zak's response to new things, looked forward to his lovers' reaction to it. He had tried to explain waterbeds to him once, and though Zak had admitted that the concept was a novel idea, had not been so interested as to want to buy one. He bet that changed soon enough.
Zak laid Robyn down gently, intending to pull back to undress, but as her body touched the bed, and he felt it give beneath her, he pulled back surprised. "The bed moves."
"Welcome to your first water bed." William chuckled. "I bet you just love it."
Zak pressed down on the mattress. There was a gentle firmness, unlike any that he had felt before. A beautiful smile lit his face as he pulled away. "You might be right my love." He reached for him. "I have never wanted anyone, save my Sire, as much as I want the two of you right now. After tonight, you will be my husband. As surely as if we were wed, and my lovely one here," he smiled down at Robyn who lay watching them. "She shall be a rare and precious treasure that we share, as we share our love."
Robyn's body was as caught up in the sight before her as her heart. The beauty, the total simplicity of love touched her in ways she didn't believe she could be touched. Her heart ached with longing as she watched the, two, undress, touching, kissing, holding each other with almost reverence. And she felt honored in a way that defied definition to be part of this love.
There was no shyness in her as she welcomed them to the bed. Each moving to lie to one side her between them. Nor did she feel hesitant to return the kisses, one then the other, as they turned their incredibly pure love on her. This was what she had been looking for all her life. This made up for the pain and the silence that she had lived through. And she promised herself, as a hand worked to unfasten her jeans, and another joined it to pull them from her. Leaving her as naked as her bedmates. That she would do everything in her power to keep it.
Zak's attentions went immediately to the small rings that hung from each nipple. "What are these, I have never seen a woman with them." He lifted one pleased to see it move freely.
"Sure you have, remember, the magazine. I explained the pluses of piercing and sex to you." William's hand took his and moved it down Robyn's body. "This one is my favorite."
A look of confusion fell onto Zak's face. "What?" Fingers parting gently, "please, precious, open your legs for me, let me see." He moved so that he could view what he felt. Robyn's legs parted as his laughter echoed through the room. "Oh my." The ring passed vertically through her clitoral hood. "It is--" The whole thought, the idea, the presentation was so lovely. The tiny ball marked the center. "It's delightful." His voice was absolutely charmed. His new love was so full of surprises. It was then that he noticed the tattoo on the inner part of her thigh. "'Slippery When Wet'." He looked up at her shaking his head. Knowing this one would promise to be interesting
He bent, lips pressing against the lovely sight, kissing the beautifully exposed flesh, pleased with the gasp that sounded from above as he slowly draw the ring into his mouth, tongue playing with it and the rosy knob beneath.
"Oh Ga'Damn." Robyn reached for William, mouth hot on his as a pleasant vibration began to radiate from the nerve endings that Zak's mouth teased. She had to give the guy credit. He definitely knew how to get a girl's attention.
"Open your legs for me Robyn, allow me this." Zak moved, to, lie between her legs, mouth seeking to taste the beauty that she offered him. William had explained the practical purposes behind a piercing such as this, and now, he wanted to see if his lovers' words were true.
She cried out as his head dipped again, and the mouth that was so cool, cooler than any that she had ever felt zeroed in on the very point of her core. Pulling, pushing, stroking her with such sureness, such ease that she began to believe that this man had been doing this for far longer than his looks implied. "Will," she moaned.
"Ssshh, relax baby. You let us take care of you." William kissed her deep, drawing her tongue into his mouth, sucking, it, holding on to it as she cried against his lips. She was such a vocal creature, so honest in her pleasure. It was always part of the pleasure he felt those times he held her, hearing how much she enjoyed herself.
Robyn lay holding William, moaning against his lips as Zak made love to her with his mouth. Tongue thrust hard against her, a flicking motion so fast and hard as it threatened to drive her to madness, even as it brought her to points of pleasure that had never been hers before.
She screamed lustfully as his fingers joined the play, moving to fill her, adding fullness to the pleasure. "No--oh God--Will--" She jerked as the heat flooded her. "Now--make him--I-- NOW !"
Zak chuckled, holding her hips down, even as they tried to rise, tried to press against his mouth and hands. Her pleasure was so pure, so like it had been with William. "Do you need me sweet?"
"Oh, please--Oh Ga'Damn--Please--" Need him, if he didn't do something right now, she was sure she'd die. It had been too long, so many lonely nights, that now.
Zak moved slowly, pressing his body against her, careful to hold his weight up, never daring to push down. The marks on her body warned him of the danger of causing her harm. "Let me make love to you precious, my beautiful blue bird." His lips were soft, loving, and compelling as she sobbed an assent. "Love?" He reached for William as their lips broke. "Beloved, will you make love to me, as I do her?" He saw the want, the love in his husbands' eyes, but he also saw concern as William looked down at Robyn. "I will protect her, hold our weight from her body. Never fear dearest, she will know only pleasure, and safely will she enjoy it. Please, I must have you. Take me. Love me as I love her. Allow me the supreme joy of having you both."
"Go on," William was crying tears of love and joy. "Twist my arm." He reached for Robyn's nightstand, where he knew she kept her bed toys, for the drawer that would hold them. "On one condition. I'm next. I've been thinking about this all damn night, and I want to." He pulled out a tube of lubricant. Moving to kneel behind him. "I love you." He bit at Zak's ear. "I know I keep saying it, but I can't help it."
"I don't mind I like to hear it. I've wanted to hear it for so long." His head turned, mouth against William's. "Do you know what to do, love?"
"Yeah, Robyn and I have done this, relax baby, I won't hurt you." He almost found his words, funny. Zak had been telling them to him for years, and now-- it was his turn.
Zak's movements were slow as he pressed down, filling the child beneath him. It would be hard for him, to control his passions. He wanted nothing more than to drown himself in her, loose thought in the pleasure of her arms. But for now, care was needed. He would have to press himself to the extreme to remain in control, ever careful. "Ssshh," his lips against hers. "I am not hurting you am I? Tell me my love, is, there any pain?" His breath caught in his chest as suddenly he felt William's fingers, pressing down gently to thrust, filling him, promising ease of entry.
"No," Robyn sighed. It felt so, good, him inside her, and the look on his face as, he, too felt his lover enter him was so pretty. "You aren't hurting me Zak, you won't hurt me. I believe you, I trust you." And she did. Again that instinct that had taken her so far rose. Allowing her to surrender to this completely. No fear, no holding back, her shyness and loneliness gone with the first slow thrust. "Now, please Zak, I want you to do it--now."
No more words were needed as Zak gave himself to this. Moving to fill her even as William's love filled him. Locking him between two exquisite pleasures. To fill one with his love even as another filled him. Life had turned its favor on him. And he gave in to it. His voice joining the two voices of his lovers as they paid tribute to their love.
William almost passed out when Zak's rectal muscles contracted on him. Tight, Jesus it's so tight. Movement was impossible, all he could do was hold his lover and lose himself in the pressure as the muscles continued to pull him.
Thought was gone; the world no longer existed, as Robyn's body gave into the sweetest ecstasy that any human could possibly feel. Again and again the pleasure rose and crested with the thrusting hardness that brought the joy. She couldn't speak, couldn't move. Time was at a stand still. There was this and only this. And as fangs pressed against her throat, adding the final layer of sensory assault, she cried out once, and then the overload took her consciousness.
Zak felt her go, and the knowledge that he had given his lover the ultimate pleasure triggered his own release, even as he fought to prolong it. William's ending moans echoing his as they both reached their points of crisis together. Bonding again, but this time in a simple physical tie, and enjoying the simplicity of it.
* * *
A cool wet cloth against her cheeks brought Robyn back to her senses. "What?" Her body still throbbed pleasantly as her eyes opened. "Hi." She smiled up at William.
"Welcome back. You had us worried there for a minute." He bent and kissed her.
She grinned. "That was--" even her usual exclamation just couldn't adequately do justice to how she felt.
"Yeah, I know." He helped her to sit up. "I think I'm bruised. There at the end, when he got so lost in you, his muscles tried to take part of me off." He laughed. "I've heard of people being able to suck start a Harley under ten foot of water, but I never thought it was done quite the way he did it."
"Speaking of him, where's Zak?" She looked around the room.
"In the kitchen. He's gone to get you something to drink, and a bite to eat. Say's you'll need it." He hugged her. "He also wanted to give you a minute, he felt that he might have frightened you." He lifted her chin. "Did he?"
Robyn kissed him. "No." There was calmness to her voice that William hadn't heard in a while. "To be honest with you, Will. I'm more at ease with him than I've ever been with anyone else, other than you. He try's so hard to take away from what he is. To make you see past it." She snuggled close. "Thank you."
"I'm glad you think that." He moaned at the nails that scratched lightly up his inner thigh. "If you don't stop that right now, this conversation will have to be put on hold."
"That's okay." She turned pushing him back. "I'm not much in the mood for conversation right now, anyway." She was amazed at how horny she was. After what Zak had done, she should be nothing more than, a, wet spot on the bed, but right now she wanted nothing more than to ball herself silly.
"Damnit girl." William was shocked by her aggression. Robyn had always been a fun partner, but never an overly assertive one in bed. So great was the change in her personality that he wasn't sure to be worried or not. "Slow down, baby."
"Why?" She looked up. "It's been so long William, and now." She just didn't know how to explain how she felt.
"It's me." Zak stood in the doorway, a tray in his hands. "She is very receptive, gifted even. Remember love, my kind feel so much more strongly than mortals do. She is picking up my desires and they are, of course, affecting her." He sat beside them. "Eat first, precious. I have drunk from you twice tonight. You need fluids and food. It's early still; we have all night to explore how greatly my feelings affect you. But first you must eat."
Robyn looked down at the tray. "An omelet?" You want to tell me why a vampire knows how to cook?"
Zak grinned. "I was a bachelor, how else was I to eat." He chuckled at the stunned look on her face. "I require blood to live, and food does nothing for me, save on a purely sensory level. I still am addicted to the taste and texture of food. From what my Sire had said, many of the Vampyr are."
"So what do you do with the food you eat?" It was too much, a vampire gourmet.
"I have to rid myself of it, of course. And I do that the same way any mortal would if they wanted to get rid of the things in their stomach. Fluids can pass through my system, they might not do me any good, but they can be absorbed and broken down, the solids, well I will not ruin your meal with the full explanation of their disposal, just take my word for it. Now eat. No more playing till you clean your plate."
Robyn took a tentative bite. "Ga'damn, but you're just full of surprises aren't you?" It was good. The vampire could really cook. "Hey, this is great. Boy I'm glad I hired you on. Body guard, fuck buddy and cook this really is, a match made in heaven."
Zak pulled William close. "Eat girl." And he joined his husband in laughter as she made funny faces at him.
