Lucian didn’t give Cass what he wanted right away. He took what he said very seriously, and he meant it when he said he wanted to get Cass used to four fingers. He did, however, change their positions.
He wanted to make it easier to transition between preparing Cass and fucking Cass, and so Cass found himself flipped on his back once more. It was different this time though. Edgar was also on his back, at Cass’ side, and he was holding onto Cass’ hand. Their fingers were interlocked and Cass knew he wouldn’t be alone in this new, strange experience.
"It’ll be fine, Cass. You’ll like it. Hopefully not as much as you like being inside me, but it feels good." Edgar whispered encouragingly. Cass didn’t know if it was truly an encouraging phrase, but he appreciated that Edgar was trying to soothe his worries. Lucian rumbled from between Cass’ thighs, his fingers slipping inside of Cass with an ease that told both of them that Cass wanted him there, and Lucian had already done an impeccable job warming him up.
"Don’t taint the well, Eddie. Let him make up his own mind. However, I think our Cassy Baby will always like getting his ass eaten. The way he wiggles his hips, asking for more makes my cock throb." Cass knew that personally.
"Yeah. They leak." Cass agreed, unaware that he had even opened his mouth. When he realised what he’d said, Cass flushed while Edgar squeezed his hand. A shadow fell over him and Cass was surprised as Gideon came in and placed a soft kiss on his lips.
When Gideon pulled back, Cass stared up into warm, green eyes, his red hair falling into his face slightly as he smiled down at him.
"Do whatever makes you happy. We’ll support you, whatever your choice." A hint of mischief entered his gaze. "Besides, Eddie’s already made his stance clear. We can just share him." Cass gasped, while Lucian let out a surprised bark of laughter. Edgar yelled, and Gideon took the fist raining down on him happily. Cass knew that Edgar had to have dampened his strength so that it didn’t hurt Gideon, but Edgar’s face was bright red.
"Hey! That’s very rude!" Edgar yelled and Cass, wanting to poke the hornets’ nest a bit, turned big, red eyes towards Edgar and blinked.
"So we couldn’t share you if I ended up not liking anal?" Cass asked. He made it sound as sincere as possible and Edgar froze. Lucian froze, but it seemed only Gideon caught on that he was joking. Gideon turned his head away, biting his lip to keep his face neutral and it took a full 30 seconds before Edgar’s face exploded and he smacked Cass’ shoulder instead of Gideon.
"You! You!" He shouted, flustered, and Cass laughed. His body shook with his laughter, his eyes bright. He never considered he would be in a position like this. Laughing in bed with the men who were, essentially, courting him. That he’d be able to be calm, not stressed as they joked about sex and positions.
It was...nice. Very nice. Cass was happy that things had turned out this way.
"Hey, are you done teasing the bottom and ready to have your bottom teased?" Lucian asked, sounding like he was pouting. Cass turned his attention towards the dragon, and stared at him for a long moment. He remembered something, but with Lucian doing what he was doing...
"Come here. Take your fingers out of me and come up here." Cass ordered. Lucian, never one to truly go against an order, especially from Cass in the bedroom, hesitated for only a second and withdrew his fingers. He then climbed up Cass, hovering over him. His hair fell like a sheet between Cass and Edgar, hiding Cass’ view of Gideon completely. Cass frowned. "You didn’t braid your hair this time." Cass muttered, frowning, and Lucian blinked.
Then, he smiled slowly, his orange eyes warming.
"Did you want me to?" He asked and Cass nodded.
"Yeah. You look sexy with it back in a braid." Cass said. Lucian raised a hand to where his heart would be, squeezing it tightly.
"Ugh. I’m never going to forget that. You like it when my hair is back?" He asked and Cass hesitated.
"Yeah, but, I don’t think I could handle it when it’s up all the time. It’ll just make me think of what we do in the bedroom, so save it for that." Cass warned. He saw a sparkle in Lucian’s eyes. "I’m serious. Have mercy on me. I only have one heart, I need to protect it." Lucian chuckled, smiling down at Cass and leaning in to kiss him tenderly. It wasn’t a long kiss, but when he pulled away Cass felt like his heart was racing and he was squeezing Edgar’s hand tightly.
"You, my dear, are adorable." Lucian told him, and Cass flushed.
"Agreed. That almost makes me want to grow out my hair, just so I can tie it back." Edgar teased. Cass panicked.
"No! Don’t do that! If you all have long hair in braids I’m going to be so fucked." Cass complained and Lucian chuckled. The laugh slid down his spine, nestling deep inside of him. Cass’ toes twitched, his cock hardening further as Lucian stared at him.
He sat back on his knees, raising his hands up to gather his hair before he started to braid it with quick, practised fingers.
"Love, you’re already going to be so fucked, why not let us have some fun? If you like long hair, we’ll cater to you." Lucian said. "Similarly, if you liked short hair, we’d cater to you." Lucian’s smile was doing dangerous things to Cass’ insides, and from the way that Edgar squeezed his hand, he wasn’t alone.
"I-I like both." Cass admitted, before more words tumbled out of his mouth. "I-I just like men. Buff men, skinny men, handsome men. I-I really like how different you all are from each other." Cass admitted, his face so hot he thought he was going to pass out. Lucian seemed surprised by Cass’ words, but Cass could feel the danger rising in the room. "H-However, I am rather selective, and I already have my hands full with you three. I have no desire to add anyone else, cheat on you three, nothing." Cass let out a soft laugh. "I never thought, in this life or the other, that I would have one person to rely on, let alone three. This is more than enough for me." Cass told them.
The tension that was threatening to form, faded. Lucian finished tying back his hair and smiled.
"Good. I was thinking of how I could seduce you further. You like my pecs so I was going to let you fuck them again, or maybe we could play a game or something to keep you distracted from others." Lucian said, smiling. Gideon grew interested.
"Games?" He asked and Lucian nodded.
"I’ll tell you them later. Keep them in our back pocket in case either of them lose interest." Lucian stage whispered to Gideon. Gideon nodded, and Cass and Edgar lay there, splayed open to the other men, wondering what the hell the idiots were thinking? How would Cass or Edgar even consider wandering? They had two men who were dedicated to making them cum, ignoring each other.
Why would they want to cheat?
Lucian, done with his moment of teasing, turned back to the task at hand. He stared at Cass’ lower half, letting out a soft grunt as he stared.
"Hmm. I think from a stretching standpoint, you’re ready. How are you doing up here, Cassy Baby? Are you ready?" Lucian asked, tapping the side of his head. Cass blinked before he registered what Lucian was saying and inhaled. He let out a slow exhale, checking in with himself internally before he gave a small, but honest, nod.
"Yeah. I’m nervous, but I’m not scared." Cass admitted. Edgar gave his hand a squeeze.
"Good. Lucy’ll take good care of you. We all will. If it gets scary, let us know, and we’ll calm you down." Edgar promised and Cass nodded. He turned his gaze towards Lucian who was watching him. When Cass met his gaze, he smiled softly.
"Can I shift you around? Move you into the position that I think will be best for us?" He asked and Cass nodded. He was being very sweet, they all were, actually. They kept checking in with him, making sure he was okay. Cass felt his eyes begin to water and he sniffed, suddenly overwhelmed with emotion. Everyone panicked.
"Cass? Are you okay?" Gideon asked, worried. Lucian looked horrified as Cass raised a hand to wipe at his eyes. Edgar sat up, staring with a loss at Cass.
"I-I’m fine. I’m just emotional." Cass sniffed. "You’re all being so nice to me." Cass whispered. "It’s overwhelming. You were all such assholes only a while ago." Cass said, then laughed. The three men shared a look that Cass missed, his tears clouding his eyes.
"Oh Bunny. This is...I’m sorry we were idiots." Edgar apologised, meaning his words. "You don’t have to cry because we’re being nice." Edgar sounded heartbroken. Cass shook his head.
"I’m just not used to it. This isn’t just from the feelings from Cassian, these are my feelings too. I never expected for something like this to happen. It’s nice, and sweet, and fuck, I can’t stop crying." Cass sniffed. Lucian shifted Cass’ thighs when he realised that he wasn’t crying because he was scared or upset, and once he was in position, then he moved. Cass’ thighs were splayed open, allowing Lucian full access to the sweet, needy hole below him. His legs dangled in the air, his toes lax, his calves curling towards Lucian’s back.
That wasn’t what Lucian was focused on. He instead focused on how he could reach up and hug Cass in this position, sliding their bodies together intimately as he wrapped Cass up in a hug that could have smothered him. Their cocks rubbed together, their bodies sliding against each other in an intoxicating motion that reminded Cass of how Lucian had rocked against him earlier.
Lucian wasn’t doing any of that right now. Instead, he buried his face in Cass’ shoulder, inhaling deeply.
"You’re going to have to get used to it." Lucian muttered, his arms under Cass’ body, holding him firmly in a hug that was less of a hug and more like he was trying to meld their bodies together. "I’m going to spend the rest of my life pampering you like a damn princess. Or prince. The fairies are going to have nothing to complain about when they speak of our relationship, except maybe I let you walk around too much instead of carrying you." Cass let out a small laugh.
"That’s a bit extreme." Cass argued and Lucian shook his head.
"No. It’s not. I’m serious. I would do anything for you, Cass. Anything. I can’t believe I wasted the first three years I knew you on dumb bullshit. I can only blame it on the fact I’d been asleep for a couple of decades. Now, though, I’m not going to mess it up again. So, get used to it. Drown in it. You’re not getting away that easily now that you’re going to allow me to enter you. I’m so damn curious about you I think I’ll be trying to find out about everything that makes you tick for decades to come." Lucian exhaled slowly, and in a small voice, so small Cass wasn’t sure if he’d heard him right, he said, "Millenia, if you’ll have me."
Cass wrapped his free arm around Lucian, holding onto him just as tightly as the other man was. Cass might be scared of his own feelings, worried that he couldn’t love them the same way that they loved him, but he didn’t hate it. Not any more.
Not when he knew it was okay. It was safe to do. They would protect him, and he would protect them in turn. So, he just held Lucian, letting the man take his fill, before watching him with serious, red eyes as Lucian pulled back. Cass was the one who pulled him down for a tender kiss, the dragon letting out a soft, vulnerable sound in his throat.
"I don’t want to get away." Cass whispered, and that was all Lucian needed to hear. His eyes flared, thinning, and a warm breath washed over Cass. He swore he watched scales flicker for a second across Lucian’s skin and Cass knew the dragon had heard him. He’d heard what Cass hadn’t said, and the dragon looked like he wanted to get off the bed and stomp his feet in victory. Cass smiled softly as Lucian stared at Cass, then slid his gaze down further, staring at his body.
"My sweet Cass." He murmured, his hand sliding down to Cass’ chest to flick at his nipple. Cass twitched. "You’ve given me a gift by allowing me to be the first. I must do a good job." Lucian’s gaze flicked up to Cass’, his eyes curling at the corners. "So that you let me do it again."
