Overcoming His Pride (6 page)

“What’s holding you back?” Marlen asked his eyes, concern lit his eyes.

“I don’t want James to be ashamed of me,” he confessed. There, it was out in the open.

Marlen cupped Andrew’s cheek. He always had the gentler touch of the pair. Chen was more intense, his passion overwhelming. Marlen wrapped Andrew in a gentle tide like he would protect Andrew from any of the world’s ills if only he gave up his worries to the wren shifter to take care of.

“He never seemed concerned when we talked to him before,” Chen said. “Has he said anything to you?”

Andrew shook his head. “No, but I’m not sure if that’s because he thought I’d turn you down or not.”

“Does it matter?” Marlen asked. He nibbled on his bottom lip, a nervous habit that had Andrew wanting to soothe.

Of course it mattered. But did it? Did James care if his father bonded with two wren shifters? A bit of soul searching gave him the answer.

“No. It doesn’t matter.” Even if it did, he had no doubt his son would be pleased for Andrew as long as he was happy. James had a kind heart and would want his father to have whatever he wanted in life, even if that included two sexy wren shifters half his age.

“Good. Now can we claim you?” Chen scowled.

Andrew smiled over the profound differences between the two men. Where Marlen worried, Chen attacked the problem. Chen ordered while Marlen coaxed. Andrew adored them both.

“Yes. I’m all yours.” Words had never had such an immediate response.

Marlen slid alongside Andrew’s body and tackled his mouth as if he needed to mark him with his scent. Did birds scent their mates like cats?

“Shh, you think too much. I can practically hear your brain spinning with questions. Sex first, questions later.” Chen’s tone didn’t leave room for discussion. The bird shifter pinched Andrew’s left nipple and he found he didn’t care.

“You’re right. Thinking is overrated.” Andrew tossed years of careful, methodical thinking out of the window without regret.

“Suck him, love,” Marlen addressed the other wren.

Andrew gasped. Hot, wet suction surrounded his cock, better than anything he’d ever felt before. “Oh, fuck.”

“We’ll get there,” Chen said. A teasing glint filled the shifter’s eyes.

“I probably should tell you I’ve never had sex with a man before.” The words spilled out. Chen’s expert sucking had derailed Andrew’s usual filters.

Marlen’s mouth dropped open. “Never?”

Andrew shook his head. I’ve rarely been attracted to other men before and I was too shy to approach a man. Later when I had the freedom to date men, none of them were interested in a guy with a kid.”

“We would’ve been,” Marlen said.

Andrew snorted. “You would’ve been kids yourself.”

“Does that still bother you?” Marlen asked.

“I’m not going to lie and say it doesn’t, but I’m also not going to let it stop me. I’ve held back because of fear for too long. What did that get me? A lion shifter who didn’t want me, and a psychopath who did. Even if you guys don’t work out, I’m pretty sure you’ll be the best time I ever had.”

Marlen pressed a soft kiss on his lips scrambling his thoughts. “Trust me, we’ll work out and be the best everything you ever had.”

Andrew smiled. “Your competition isn’t that tough.”

No more words were necessary. Chen went back to sucking on Andrew, and Marlen returned his attention to rubbing against Andrew’s skin. He had to concentrate on breathing and not shouting out his bliss. His entire body tingled with sensation.

“I’m going to come.” He couldn’t hold out beneath the twin assaults of the beautiful men determined to worship him.

Chen lifted his mouth, earning a groan from Andrew. “We can’t have that. I want you inside Marlen when you come.”

Marlen nodded. “I’ve been looking forward to it.”

Andrew didn’t care if it hurt his masculine image, the whimper couldn’t be stopped. “Please.”

“Always, my love.” Marlen’s soft expression twisted his heart. He could easily fall for these men with their addictive touches and kind souls.

“Check the side drawer,” Chen ordered.

Marlen scrambled to obey. A moment later he waved a bottle with a victorious wave. “I found it. Lions take good care of their guests.”

Chen kissed Andrew, his lips barely a whisper against Andrew’s skin. “Marlen’s going to ride you, then I’m going to fuck you into the mattress. Do you have any problem with that plan?”

“No.” Andrew shook his head. “Sounds perfect.”

“Since you’ve never had anal penetration before, it will be easier if we turn you on your stomach.”

Andrew frowned. “What makes you think I’ve never had anything up my ass?”

“You said you’ve never had sex with a guy.” Chen tightened his grip on Andrew’s arm as if trying to stop him from leaving.

Andrew blushed. “I have a few toys.”

“Oh.” Chen’s eyes lit with interest. “We’ll have to explore those later.”

“Much later. I’m going to get fucked now and not with a rubber object,” Marlen announced.

Andrew’s attention snapped to the other wren. Marlen must’ve prepped himself while he’d been distracted with Chen. With little fanfare, Marlen lined Andrew up and sank down on him without hesitation.

“Oh.” The wren didn’t use a condom. Nothing blocked the full sensation of being dipped into Marlen’s hot heat. If he’d thought that Chen’s mouth was bliss he’d been mistaken, this was heaven.

“He’s so tight,” Chen whispered in Andrew’s ear. “No matter how many times you fuck him, he still grips you like a fist. And the beauty with shifters is you can’t fuck him too hard.”

Andrew snapped. Rolling over, he pinned Marlen beneath him. He caught the wren shifter’s surprised expression right before he began to fuck the man in earnest. He’d never had the freedom to let go and take what he wanted.

The noises coming out of Marlen only encouraged him further. Marlen clung to Andrew and pumped his hips along with Andrew’s motions, luring him to slam harder. After dreaming of the two men for days, he didn’t have the capacity to resist for long. His orgasm swept over him like a king tide, drowning him in its wake.

Chen reached a hand between them and pumped Marlen’s hard cock. “Come.”

A birdlike screech emerged from Marlen’s throat. His release splashed between them, filling the air with the scent of his desire. Andrew gasped, trying to gather enough oxygen to process his thoughts. His other lover didn’t have the patience to wait.

Chen eased Andrew out of and away from Marlen. “Let him up.”

“Oh, sorry, I didn’t mean to crush you.”

Marlen smirked. “You weren’t crushing me. Chen just wants me moved so he can fuck you proper.”

“Are there improper ways to fuck me?” Andrew teased. “I might prefer those.”

He didn’t know where he found the guts to taunt the intense shifter, but he couldn’t resist.

“I’m sure we’ll explore all those too. Eventually.” Chen smirked.

Marlen slid out from beneath Andrew. “I’m going to grab a washcloth. Don’t do anything before I return.”

Andrew smiled at Chen. “What do you think constitutes anything?”

“I’m sure kissing is allowed,” Chen responded.

Andrew grabbed Chen and pulled him into the spot Marlen had just vacated. “I’m sure it must be.”

The wren shifter’s slow, drugging kisses were addictive. Unlike a narcotic, Andrew had no wish to break this new addiction. He would happily die bound to the two shifters. He’d been a fool to resist them for this long.

Chen grinned up to him, affection glowing in his eyes and making him more beautiful than ever before.

Andrew refused to call it love. Their relationship was too new for him to label it with such a big title.

“We will make you amazing mates,” Chen vowed.

The sincerity on the shifter’s face had Andrew blinking back tears. “I don’t know what I did to deserve you two, but I’d do it a thousand times more if it meant I got to keep you.”

“Oh, wow.” Marlen had returned without Andrew noticing.

He’d been focused on Chen.

“I really need to be in you right now. Marlen, can you prepare him?”

“Sure.”

“Ready, love?” Marlen stroked a hand down Andrew’s back.

“Yeah. You guys don’t bite or anything?” He’d always heard of shifters biting each other to bond.

“No, wrens don’t do that. When we come inside you it will spread our scent and permanently mingle with your own. Other shifters will know you’ve been marked,” Marlen explained.

Andrew looked over his shoulder at the wren. “But you didn’t come inside me.”

“I’ll do it later,” Marlen promised. “I don’t top very often and I wanted to feel you inside me first.”

“Okay.” Andrew didn’t want either of his mates to feel unwelcome.

A lubed finger brushed his hole. Andrew stopped thinking. Tension tightened his shoulders. He could do this. A moving finger felt completely different than the rubber dildo he’d used before. He hadn’t lied about using toys, but it had been few and far between. He didn’t have an enormous collection. He wished he’d got up the nerve to use that butt plug he’d bought. It still sat in its sealed container in his drawer.

“You’re tight. You’re going to strangle his cock. I can’t wait to watch.” Marlen settled at the top of the bed, sitting up against the headboard.

“Does he do that often?” Jealousy speared through Andrew.

“What?” Chen slipped of the bed to walk to the end. “Scoot up, I’m going to take you from behind.”

“Watch you have sex with other men,” Andrew said through gritted teeth.

Chen rubbed a soothing hand over Andrew’s back. “No, babe, I told you we never found a third. He just likes to watch porn.”

“And now I get a live show.”

Marlen’s tone of satisfaction soothed Andrew’s previously undiscovered jealous streak.

Where Marlen’s touch had been almost tentative, Chen’s fingers pushed and stretched, prepping Andrew with impatient efficiency.

“I’m ready,” Andrew said through gritted teeth.

“I’m just making sure. If you hate your first time, you’ll never let me near your ass again.”

“Now, Chen!” If he got any more ready, he’d explode from anticipation.

Chen sighed. “We don’t have to do this.”

“Yes we do. I want you inside me.” He might be wondering about how their relationship would go, but he had no questions about wanting the wren shifters.

The head of Chen’s cock might as well have been the size of a boulder when he tried to push it inside.

“Fuck,” Andrew said, his eyes stinging from the pain.

“Shh, relax.” Marlen slid down. Always eager to make everything better for Andrew.

Soft kisses across his face distracted him long enough for Chen to push deeper into Andrew’s body.

“Yes, oh, you feel like heaven.”

Chen’s tone of wonder boosted Andrew’s ego.

Marlen kissed him. Andrew appreciated the difference between the shifters. Even with his eyes closed, he’d be able to tell his men apart. Marlen didn’t seem to have an alpha bone in his body. Marlen was all sweet words and soft touches. Chen had a harder edge. Not any less loving, but more commanding.

A kiss between his shoulder blades relaxed him further. “I’m almost all the way inside,” Chen said. “Easy, babe.”

“Okay.” Andrew concentrated on relaxing. After several minutes, he opened enough for Chen to enter him completely. “I’m so full.”

He needed a bigger dildo if he wanted to emulate his lover. He should’ve paid more attention to Chen’s size before he’d agreed to let him top.

“Feels amazing, doesn’t it?” Marlen asked.

Andrew almost disagreed. The pain in his ass had more discomfort than bliss.

“Give me a minute. Let me find it.” Chen moved inside Andrew and hit the perfect spot.

Electricity sizzled up his spine. “Right there.” Andrew clutched at Marlen.

Chen pulled out with excruciating slowness then shoved back in, pegging the same spot.

He couldn’t stop the shout bursting from his lips.

“I think you found it.” Marlen grinned at Chen over Andrew’s shoulder.

Andrew would’ve made a sarcastic comment, but he forgot how to breathe. His entire world narrowed to the small point between his two mates.

He knew he’d turned a corner. Never again would he be able to live without these two men in his life.

Marlen reached beneath him and took Andrew’s cock in his hand. “I see we’ve woken back up.”

“I don’t know how.” He’d lost the ability to recover that quickly over ten years ago.

“Mates. When you meet your soul mate, even your body knows.” Marlen’s confident tone told Andrew his lover truly believed his words.

“Focus on me,” Chen demanded.

“It’s kind of hard to forget you when you have that log up my ass,” Andrew grumbled.

He winked at Marlen.

Marlen grinned and rewarded him with a kiss.

Andrew clenched his body around Chen, pulling a strangled scream from the shifter.

“Oh, yeah. Do that again.”

“Bossy.” Andrew repeated the action.

Chen smacked Andrew’s ass. “Absolutely.”

“You slap me again, boy, and I’ll turn you over my knee.”

“Oh, fuck.” Chen spurted inside him.

“You too.” Marlen pumped Andrew’s erection. It only took a few slides of the wren shifter’s hand before Andrew’s orgasm surged over him and he came on the sheets.

“That hasn’t happened in a while.”

Chen slid out of Andrew’s ass. “What hasn’t?”

“Double orgasm.”

“You have mates now,” Marlen said. “You might not be a shifter, but your body will respond to us. Double orgasms will be the norm for you.”

Chen grabbed the washcloth Marlen had brought and wiped Andrew down. “Sometimes even triple.”

Andrew snuggled up to Marlen, avoiding the wet spot. “I’m too old for that.”

“Not any longer.” Marlen wrapped an arm around Andrew, pulling him close.

“What do you mean?” Andrew didn’t really care about the answer. Chen had climbed onto the bed behind him and he was once again in his new favourite spot, sandwiched between his two mates.

Chen kissed his shoulder. “He means once you’ve fully bonded with us, your life will be extended along with ours.”

“Really?” Andrew met Chen’s glance over his shoulder.
