Love Slave for Two: Reckoning [Love Slave for Two 4] (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting) (9 page)

She let Adam talk her and Laurie into playing a video game with him, which at least got the radar off the TV and took their minds away from the storm for a little while. Andrew made everyone lunch and brought it out to the living room instead of having them turn the game off and eat in the kitchen.

After putting Adam and Mikey down for their naps, Nevvie turned the TV back to the weather. Laurie sat with Harley in her lap, hugging him as they watched.

“Our house is going to be destroyed, isn’t it?” Laurie softly asked.

Nevvie didn’t know what to say to her. She was too old for false promises. “I don’t know, sweetie.”

“We’re in the flood zone.” She pointed to a map being displayed on the screen. The Weather Channel was helpfully uplinking the Tampa NBC affiliate’s satellite feed to the world.

“You sure you girls want to be watching this?” Peggy gently asked.

“Yes,” they said in unison. Then they smiled at each other before laughing.

Even Peggy smiled. “I reckon it’s not real hard to see y’all are sisters.”

The wind picked up. Tom thought it sounded like a thousand screaming banshees swirling around their house, punctuated by the occasional thud of something hitting one of the shutters. But with the exception of a couple of minor leaks around the plumbing vents, the roof held. He had no way of knowing how many shingles the wind had already ripped off, or how many more they’d lose, but at least the decking remained secure.

For now.

For most of the afternoon they played cards and other games, like Scrabble and Monopoly. Tyler made everyone dinner at five. They ate in the living room, gathered around the radio and listening to the newscasters talk about the storm.

John’s face looked grim. “I don’t expect to find much left when I can eventually get back there.”

Kelly rested her head against his shoulder, but didn’t say anything.

“You can stay here as long as you need,” Tom repeated.

“I wonder how our joint’s doing?” Pete said.

“You’re probably okay,” Tom said. “You guys have a barrel tile roof. You’ll have some cracked tiles, and your pool cage will be shredded, but the house should be okay.”

“Thanks for making us stay with you,” Eddie said. “I’d be terrified if we were alone right now.”

“That’s what family’s for, mate,” Tyler said.

“The gallery’s gonna be destroyed,” Pete said. He hadn’t spent much time at work since his hospitalization and surgery weeks earlier, but he kept in close contact with his employees. “Thank God I made Dave get a rental truck and drive it over to Orlando. They got everything out except three big pieces. Those were concrete statues, and they might be okay even if they get wet.”

“I’m sorry, Pete,” Kelly said.

He shrugged. “What are you gonna do? It’s all insured.”

“Exactly,” John said.

“I’m glad we hadn’t got around to remodeling the kitchen yet,” Kelly said.

“Yeah,” John agreed. “But at least now we can get it done wherever we end up.”

“You really think the house will be destroyed?”

“I remember what happened after Katrina. I won’t have you and Laurie living in a place that’s been flooded. If there’s even enough of the house left standing after the flood waters go down. I’m a realist. It’s going to be bad.”

They all jumped at the sound of something hitting the shutters covering the living room window. Tom-Tom let out a low growl. Jacob and Kyle, not looking very confident themselves, soothed the dog.

“I know how he feels,” Pete said. “It’s gonna be a long damn night.”

Around two o’clock in the morning, Tom and Tyler headed to bed after texting Nevvie one last time. John remained alone in the living room, reading a book and listening to the storm coverage on the radio.

Tyler walked into the bedroom first. Before he could turn around, Tom had the bedroom door shut behind them and his fist in Tyler’s hair.

Tyler’s gut fluttered as his cock hardened in anticipation.

Without a word, Tom marched him over to the bed and pushed him, facedown, over the end of it.

He leaned in and whispered, “Do not move, boy,” in Tyler’s ear.

“Yes, Sir!”

“Eyes closed.”

Tyler complied.

He heard Tom walking around, the rustle of clothes as he undressed, then the sounds of him getting things. In the bathroom, he heard the sink run for a few moments. When Tom eventually returned, he knelt over Tyler, pinning him to the bed.

He reached under Tyler, fumbled for a moment until he got his shorts unfastened, then pushed them and his briefs down his hips.

“There’s my sweet ass,” Tom said. He leaned over and bit him on each ass cheek, hard, Tyler’s cock throbbing even more from the sweet pain.

Then Tyler heard the distinctive
snick
of Tom opening the bottle of lube. He smeared lube along his rim, and then he felt something press against him.

“Relax,” Tom said. “You know what to do. And this time, you’d better not come.”

Tom worked the butt plug against his ass, gently but persistently pressing for entrance, slowly, making Tyler squirm with anticipation.

He fought the urge to rock his hips against Tom’s hand, knowing it would make his cock explode. After a few minutes, Tom had him loosened enough he could slip the butt plug home. Tyler gasped as the widest part passed his rectum, then moaned at the full sensation in his ass.

Tom played with the base of it, tapping it, pressing on it, covering Tyler’s ass cheeks with playful nips.

“How’s that feel?”

“Good, Sir!”

Tom rose up a little. “Roll over. Hands over your head.”

Tyler did. As he’d suspected, Tom was completely naked. Tom settled back down over his face this time, with Tyler’s arms pinned with by Tom’s legs.

“Get busy.”

Tyler eagerly started licking and sucking, circling Tom’s rim with his tongue and working up his perineum to his balls and back.

“That’s it,” Tom hissed. “Fuck me with that sweet tongue.”

Tyler went wild, his mind deep in subspace. He didn’t need pain to get there. Just Tom’s masterful control was enough to free his tethered conscious. He pressed his tongue against the puckered ring of muscle, moaning, desperately wanting to please him.

“Such a good boy,” Tom whispered.

Tyler moaned again, unable to help it. His cock throbbed and he knew pre-cum had to be leaking from it. His ass clenched against the butt plug filling him and he wished it was Tom’s hard cock there.

Tom changed position after a minute. “Now suck my balls, boy.”

Tyler did, tenderly laving his tongue over Tom’s sac. Tom still kept himself shaved and Tyler loved the way the sensitive bare flesh felt in his mouth. Tom’s scent filled his lungs, his warm, sweet musky self mixed with the soap he’d washed with just a few minutes earlier.

“You’re so good,” Tom said. He wrapped his hand around Tyler’s cock. “You want to come for me?”

“Mmhmm!”

“Ooh, do that again.”

Tyler stifled an amused chuckle as he hummed against Tom’s sac.

“Oh, fuck yeah, buddy. That’s great. Don’t stop.” He squeezed Tyler’s cock, hard, making Tyler moan even louder.

When Tom rose up again, Tyler whined, making Tom laugh. “Hush. I’m not done yet.” He adjusted his position to lie on top of Tyler, his cock in Tyler’s mouth. “That’s what you really want, isn’t it? To suck my balls dry and fill your belly with my cum?”

“Mmhmm!” Tyler eagerly swallowed him, wishing he could also use his hands and simultaneously enjoying that he was helplessly pinned under his lover’s body.

Then he felt warm breath on his own cock. “You can come, but don’t you dare stop what you’re doing until I say you can.” Then Tom engulfed Tyler’s cock with his mouth.

Tyler deeply moaned. Tom started fucking Tyler’s mouth, hard and fast, as he sucked Tyler’s cock.

Tyler realized he could do little more than lie there and take it, and enjoy it. He curled his lips around Tom’s cock, flicking it as best he could with his tongue, Tom’s balls bouncing into his nose at the bottom of each thrust.

Tom used one hand to press on the butt plug as he deep-throated Tyler. Tyler felt his balls draw up tight, and even though he tried to hold back, he exploded with a muffled cry in Tom’s mouth.

Tom fucked him harder, faster, until his cock started throbbing and pulsing against Tyler’s tongue. Tyler started swallowing before the first hot jet of cum spurted out of his cock and down his throat.

Tom fell still with a shudder, gasping, still holding Tyler’s cock with one hand.

When he recovered, he rolled off Tyler and lay there next to him on the bed. “Better?” he finally asked.

“Uh-huh.”

Tom thumped the butt plug. “What’d you say?”

Tyler laughed. “Sorry, Sir. Yes, Sir.”

“Hmm. Maybe I should make you wear this all night.”

“That’s completely up to you, Sir.”

“Then again, you might enjoy that and try to hump me all night.”

Tyler snickered.

“Eh, go take it out and get cleaned up.” He yawned. “I think we need to get some sleep anyway.”

“Right.” He managed to get to his feet. He kicked off his shorts and briefs and pulled off his shirt before leaning in and kissing Tom. “Thank you, love.”

Tom grabbed him and pulled him in for another one. “I’m sorry I didn’t know all this stuff a lot sooner. I’m sorry you didn’t feel you could tell me.”

Tyler sat next to him on the bed, mindful of the plug still in his ass. “That wasn’t any failing on your part, love. Truly. I thought when I fell in love with you that none of that mattered anymore. You were all that I wanted and needed. Then when we met Nevvie, I still didn’t see it as something I needed. I never realized how much I missed it.”

Tom laced his fingers through Tyler’s and kissed his hand. “Well I’m liking this side of the whip, as it were.” He pointed to his own necklace, where the little lock always kept it on his neck. “Maybe we need a matching set of these.” His brown eyes studied Tyler. “If you want to. We already know Nevvie doesn’t mind.”

Tyler leaned in and kissed him. “It’s a lovely idea.”

Before he could sit up again, Tom grabbed the back of his head and fisted his hand in his hair again. “What’d you say, boy?”

Tyler smiled. “I meant it’s a lovely idea, Sir, and that I would be proud to wear your collar.”

Tom grinned. “That’s more like it. That’s my good boy.”

Nevvie’s nervous stomach early Saturday morning had nothing to do with morning sickness. She managed to down two pieces of toast and some peppermint tea at Andrew’s insistence before she joined Peggy on the porch. Inside, Laurie, the twins, Clay, and Andrew were all trying to keep Adam and Mikey occupied with a new video game.

“You all right, sugar?” Peggy asked.

“I guess.” Nevvie leaned back in her chair and propped her feet up on the porch railing. They wouldn’t be able to sit outside much longer. The first of Edgar’s outer bands, robbed of power but still ripe with rain, had already blustered through the area. The overcast skies were already darkening again to the southwest as the next rain band closed in on them. Gusts of winds stronger than the stiff breeze set the pine trees surrounding the property dancing in nature’s own version of a coordinated flash mob. The storm’s track would take the eye across Florida and out into the Atlantic somewhere near St. Augustine. That meant lots of rain and gusty winds for Savannah, but hopefully no flooding.

“The boys are fine,” Peggy said, echoing Nevvie’s thoughts. “There’s no need to worry about them.”

“I haven’t received a text from them since 2:00 a.m., when they went to bed.”

“You know that doesn’t mean anything. They might still be asleep, sugar. Or cell towers might be down.”

“I know.”

Inside, Nevvie heard Adam’s excited squeal over leveling up in the game.

“That was a good idea, getting the new game,” Peggy said.

“I bought a bunch of DVDs for them, too. I just can’t believe they’re awake this early. It’s unreal.”

“It’s the storm. They also sense our stress.”

“I guess.”

“I actually don’t mind storms.” Peggy’s gaze focused somewhere in the distance. “Whether they’re afternoon thunderstorms or big storms like this.”

“Why’s that?”

“They remind me of my place.”

“Huh?”

Peggy didn’t respond at first. “We think we’re in charge of our lives. But we’re not. A storm is a good reminder of that. Storms always end. And on the other side, the weather gets better. It’s a fine analogy for life. Some storms just take longer than others. Sometimes, you don’t even realize you’re still in the storm until you happen to look up and see the sky turning blue again.” She looked at Nevvie. “Even Edgar can’t take away the clear blue skies in my life right now.”
