Page 7 of Fire and Ice


  He paused just long enough to wet one finger and press it against Zack’s ass. That’s when the fireworks happened. Zack let out a loud, happy groan, roughly grabbed Kael’s head, and took over driving. He started fucking his cock deep into Kael’s mouth, faster and harder, until his orgasm took him and he rewarded Kael with a mouthful of cum.

  They lay there for only a moment. “That was great, but I bet I know what you want, don’t I?” Zack asked in a teasing tone.

  Kael laughed. “Um, yeah.”

  Zack let go of Kael’s head and laced his fingers behind his head. “Then get me hard again, baby, and I’ll fuck that sweet ass of yours.”

  With a grin, Kael started going down on him again. It didn’t take him long to get Zack worked up and hard again.

  Zack sat up. “Get in position,” he said. “I’ll get a towel and the lube.” He lightly smacked Kael’s cute ass as he rolled off the bed and headed to their bathroom for a towel. When he returned, he found Kael crouching on all fours in the middle of their bed, cute ass in the air.

  He wiggled it at Zack. “Like this?”

  His cock twitched. It wanted to be buried inside that ass. “Oh, yeah. You’d better believe it.” He climbed up on the bed and knelt behind Kael. After lubing him, he started working first one, then two fingers into him.

  Kael dropped his head to the bed and moaned.

  “You like that, baby?”

  “Uh-huh!”

  With his other hand, Zack reached around Kael and slowly pumped his cock. It only took seconds for him to be throbbingly hard in Zack’s hand. Kael flexed his hips against him, trying to work himself back and forth between the dual sources of pleasure.

  Zack squeezed him hard with his hand. “Gonna fuck you hard, baby. Just like I know you want me to.”

  Kael moaned and wiggled his ass in response, making Zack laugh. When he knew Kael was ready, he withdrew his fingers and replaced it with his cock. He slapped Kael’s ass. “You know what to do.”

  With another happy moan, Kael arched his back and thrust against Zack, impaling himself all the way on Zack’s rigid cock.

  Both men let out groans of pleasure. “Oh, yeah,” Zack said, his voice hoarse. He grabbed Kael’s hips and started slowly fucking him. This way, since he’d already shot one load, he could last as long as he wanted.

  And he wanted his cock buried in his lover’s warm, tight ass for a while.

  He fucked Kael, sometimes hard and fast, sometimes long and slow, interspersing it with slaps on either side of his ass. When he finally had Kael begging him to make him come, he reached around and grabbed Kael’s dripping cock. “Go ahead and come for me, baby.” He didn’t get more than three good pumps in before Kael’s cum covered his hand. Zack didn’t stop, using the extra lubrication to tease and torment his lover’s sensitive member until he knew he’d coaxed every last drop out of him.

  He paused to wipe his hand on the towel. “My turn, baby,” he said in a growl. Kael’s hands fisted the sheets as Zack dug his fingers into Kael’s hips. He started slow, bottoming out at the end of every stroke and withdrawing until just the head of his cock was still tightly fisted by Kael’s ass. Then he picked up speed, harder and faster, until his balls slapped against Kael’s rump with every stroke.

  “You want it?” Zack asked.

  “Yes!” Kael gasped. “Give it to me!”

  Zack pounded into him, holding back as long as he could, until his cock practically ached from the strain. When he let go, he slammed hard and deep into Kael one last time, happily groaning at the satisfaction of shooting his load deep inside him.

  Both men collapsed onto the bed. Zack didn’t want to move. “You okay?” he mumbled.

  “Uh-huh. I can’t believe we haven’t fucked each other’s brains out yet.”

  “I thought we just did.”

  Kael chuckled. “I meant completely out of our bodies.”

  Zack kissed his shoulder before slowly rolling off him with a grunt. “Now I’m ready for bed.”

  Kael kissed him, then left the bed to clean up. He brought back a washcloth for Zack, and then they curled up together, with Kael spooning Zack, his arm thrown around his waist.

  “I love you,” Zack mumbled.

  Kael smiled and nuzzled his ear. “I love you, too.”

  * * * *

  Kael lay there long after Zack fell asleep cuddled against him. He couldn’t help but smile at his lover. Their relationship had too many dynamics to begin to count. Although he was physically older than Zack, and a dragon, Zack was mentally and emotionally far older. They switched back and forth in bed and in life, each seamlessly taking the lead when necessary. Like tonight, he knew Zack had wanted to do the driving, and he was happy to give it to him.

  He also didn’t begrudge a second of the time Zack spent with Lina. Zack had a calming, soothing, peaceful aura about him. Just sitting with him and talking always relaxed him.

  He could only imagine how much of that calming presence Lina needed on a daily basis to keep her from losing her mind over the recent events.

  Zack let out a soft snore and shifted position, snuggling even closer to Kael.

  Kael had given up on ever finding love. If it wasn’t for Bertholde insisting that Andel send him to Rick and Jan to help out with the prophecies, he might never have met and fallen in love with Zack.

  Given the recent events, he suspected that’s exactly why Bertholde insisted specifically on him. Not just because of his past experience with hunting the cockatrice, or his translation skills, or even because he was cousins with Jan and Rick through their mothers, but because she’d seen in a vision that he’d fall for Zack.

  He smiled. I wish I could thank her.

  He’d spent the first decade after his family’s murder seething with rage and hunting down the people who had killed them. Too wrapped up in his anger to even think about really grieving. Then as it became more and more clear that unless something changed he might never find the killers, depression set in.

  He wouldn’t deny he’d even considered killing himself a time or two just to be out of misery.

  Finally, it was Bertholde who’d slapped some sense into him, literally, at a small dragon Gathering at her home. She’d cornered him in her kitchen and laid into him about how his parents wouldn’t want him to end his life or spend it entirely in search of their killers.

  Then she’d slapped him. Hard.

  With her eyes glittering in anger, she said, “You dishonor their memory by simply giving up! You let the killers win if you do not live for happiness. I’m not saying do not remember them or grieve for them or sometimes feel sad. But to waste your life because you are too entrenched in grief to find your way out is not what they would have wanted!”

  He’d barely heard her words, because the slap, while not terribly painful, had shocked the crap out of him. As had her harsh tone. Bertholde, while feisty, never acted like that.

  As he tried to recover, she grabbed him, pulling his head down and cradling it to her chest. “Grieve, but live.”

  Just as shocking, he burst into tears. She sat with him there in her kitchen, holding and rocking him as he cried in her lap while she softly talked to him in a loving, soothing tone. Finally, when he regained his composure, she’d wiped his tears away and offered him a loving smile.

  “There is my sweet Kael,” she said. “You are a good man with a loving heart. You will find the man you are destined to meet. Have faith.”

  That, alone, had shocked him more than anything. He’d assumed he’d hidden his sexual orientation from everyone. She smiled. “You hide nothing from me, little dragon,” she said. Then she kissed his forehead. “Your mother and father loved you very much, and they would not have cared one bit about that. Anyone your heart told you was your mate, they would have welcomed him in.”

  From that moment on, even though he didn’t get to see her very often, he’d made a point of giving her a big hug every time he did.

  Wiping away his tea
rs, he let out a sad sigh, rolled over, and tried to go to sleep.

  Chapter Eleven

  Lina stood in the shower under water as hot as she could stand it. Jan couldn’t stand it for long and quickly lathered, rinsed, and escaped with no repeat after giving her a quick kiss.

  “I’ll wait for you in bed, lovely.”

  She smiled. “No problem.”

  Rick, on the other hand, couldn’t get enough of the hot water or his showering companion. He wrapped his arms around her and nibbled on her neck. Her fiery dragon loved the steamy heat. “Want company, love?”

  She sighed, leaning against him. “Yes, but just company for now.” Her mind was too full of everything she’d learned at Baba Yaga’s to think about being romantic right at that moment. “Nothing personal.”

  “Fair enough. Care to share what your talk with Zack was, or was it personal time?”

  The twins had quickly grown to not only like Zack, but trust him. They also trusted that Lina needed her personal time with him, both as Lina and as the Goddess. She had an unbreakable bond with Zack that only strengthened her love for her men without threatening them in the slightest.

  “It was Goddess stuff, but I don’t mind sharing.” She turned in his arms and looked up into his face. Now, with the old memories called to the surface, she realized he looked nearly identical to how he had in his first life.

  He just couldn’t remember their life together before this one, even though it was fleetingly short before the battle with the cockatrice.

  “You look troubled, love,” he said, his own brow furrowing. “Anything I can do?”

  Might as well fess up. “I paid Baba Yaga a visit.”

  He frowned. “When?”

  “While we were in the van. I closed my eyes and found myself there.”

  “But you never left the van.”

  “It was in my mind. But it was real.”

  “Ah. And?”

  She rested her head on his strong shoulder. “We have to stop the cockatrice,” she said, her tears flowing. Would she ever stop crying? She hated feeling helpless. “We have to stop them this time, or they will kill us all. Along with a lot more innocent people, like Kael’s family.”

  He tried his best to console her. “We will, love. I swear we will.”

  “It’s going to get really bad,” she said, sniffling. “And it’s going to involve a lot of others, too. The worst thing of all is I have no idea how to stop any of it. I have all these powers and not one single freaking clue on how to use them.”

  He kissed the top of her head. “You worry too much. According to Brodey, you were perfect when it came to saving you both from the fire in Yellowstone.”

  “Ahem. Pine tree flambé strike a memory?”

  He smiled. “That was an aberration, I’m sure. Besides, you were mad at us for arguing. If you haven’t noticed, we’ve made a distinct point of not arguing.”

  “Around me.”

  “Well, we are brothers, love. Don’t expect perfection from us.”

  She giggled. “Sometimes I enjoy your arguments. Not all of them. Just sometimes.”

  “Oh? Do tell. Which ones?”

  She wiggled her hips against him, stirring interest from his cock in the process. “Like when you two argue over who gets which end. Or which side.”

  “Mmm. That sounds like an invitation.”

  “Take it however you want.”

  “I’d rather take you.” He nipped her ear.

  “Go ahead.” Heck, maybe getting laid was exactly what she needed to take her mind off of everything she’d seen.

  Sure as hell couldn’t hurt.

  He kissed her, taking his time, refusing to rush. As she melted into his embrace, she felt his cock hardening against her hip. She absorbed his natural scent, which always reminded her of sandalwood, for some reason. Jan’s scent always invoked mental images of an evergreen forest in spring after a cleansing rain.

  Rick’s hands slowly skimmed down her wet back until he spread his fingers across her ass cheeks, squeezing hard and digging in, bordering on painful pleasure as he kneaded her flesh. He spread her ass as he massaged her. “Are you saying you want my cock…here?” He slipped one finger between her cheeks, pressing against the puckered rim of her ass, teasing but not entering.

  She moaned against his neck. Her clit throbbed as moisture soaked her pussy. “Yes,” she whispered.

  “Tell me.”

  “I want your cock there.”

  “Where?” He nipped her earlobe again. “I want to hear you talk dirty. I want you to beg for it.”

  Her fingers dug into his shoulders as she prayed her knees didn’t give in. “I want your cock in my ass and Jan’s in my pussy at the same time.”

  “Oh, baby!” He groaned, his cock twitching against her leg. Then he chuckled. “Why don’t you want my cock in your pussy?”

  “I don’t care whose cock is where as long as one of you is in my ass and the other is in my pussy!”

  “That’s my girl. Let’s get rinsed off and hit the bed.” He let go of her, and she nearly fell. Her wobbly legs didn’t want to hold her as passion had diverted nearly all her blood flow to her pussy.

  He chuckled and reached out to steady her. “Hold on there, slugger. We don’t want you getting a concussion.”

  “Don’t they say most household accidents happen in the shower?” she joked.

  Lina thought a smile that sinful shouldn’t be outlawed, it should be made mandatory for every man’s facial expression repertoire. “I can’t imagine how.”

  “I think I just found out how.” She finished rinsing, stepped out, and grabbed a towel. “From getting mauled by a horny dragon.”

  He shut the water off. “Hmm. Must be a lot of horny dragons in the world. I didn’t know we were so prevalent.” He stepped out and dried off. When she tried to leave the bathroom, he dropped his towel and snagged her arm to scoop her up and carry her into the bedroom.

  “I can walk, you know.”

  “This is far more fun.”

  He dropped her onto their bed, where Jan was stretched out, naked, and watching The Big Bang Theory. “There you are. I was beginning to think he was going to hog you all night.” He put the TV remote on the bedside table and rolled over to face her. “Hi.”

  She giggled. “Hi.”

  Rick climbed into bed behind her. “Guess what our naughty girl told me in the shower?”

  She felt her face flush, but Jan grinned. “What did she tell you?”

  Rick trailed his hand down her belly, letting it come to rest on her mound, where he cupped it, his fingers deliciously brushing against her clit. “She told me she wants to be the filling in a dragon sandwich tonight.”

  Jan’s grin widened. She suspected if he got any happier his face would freeze like that. Not to mention his cock might explode. “Oh, reeeeallly? Well, I say we take care of that for her, brother.”

  “Just what I had in mind.” Rick brushed her damp hair out of the way and nibbled the back of her neck while his fingers played with her clit.

  She moaned, spreading her legs to give him better access. Jan bent his head to her right nipple and sucked it between his cool lips. It immediately drew into a tight peak in his mouth. She grabbed his head, weaving her fingers in his hair.

  “Oooh, please don’t stop!”

  “Who are you talking to?” Rick asked, his voice full of humor.

  “Both of you, dammit! Don’t stop!”

  Jan responded by gently biting down with his teeth and flicking her nipple with his tongue. That only served to inflame her need, each pulse of sensation sending an electric jolt of desire straight to her clit.

  Rick slipped two fingers inside her cunt and slowly started stroking them in and out. “Wow, you should feel how wet she is already, and we’ve barely started the foreplay.”

  Jan lifted his head from her breast, releasing her nipple despite her vocal protests. “I’ll get there eventually. I’m not done here, yet.” He l
eaned down and took her left nipple into his mouth and began giving it the same delightful torment he’d bestowed upon her right one.

  Lina rocked her hips against Rick’s hand. He wasn’t thrusting hard or fast enough to get her over, just enough to tease her into a frenzy and get her even wetter.

  He pulled his fingers from her drenched channel and touched them to her lips. “Open, lovely.” She did, licking her juices off his hand. She felt his cock throbbing against her ass. “Oh, you are so sexy when you do that!” He grabbed her chin and tipped her head back. His lips crushed hers, his tongue rasping against her lips until she gave way and he thrust it into her mouth, exploring, teasing, tasting.

  With her mouth busy, he let go of her and returned his hand to her pussy. This time, he didn’t stop. He finger-fucked her until her body tensed between them. Then he rolled her clit between his fingers, sending her over the edge.

  She moaned into his mouth as she ground her ass against him. He pinched her clit harder, intensifying the electrifying orgasm rolling through her. She tried to wiggle away from him, but he wouldn’t let go until he knew he’d wrung every ounce of climax out of her.

  When he finally released her, he laughed and rolled her on top of him effortlessly, impaling her with his cock. With her swollen and oversensitive clit still throbbing, she moaned as the base of his cock rubbed against her.

  “Get the lube, brother,” he said to Jan with a sly grin on his face.

  Jan had already rolled over to the side of the bed. “I’m on it.”

  “So am I,” Lina managed to mumble with a giggle. She wiggled her hips.

  Rick lightly slapped her ass. “Hold still or he’ll miss the target.”

  “Since when. He’s got the accuracy of a heat-seeking missile.”

  “I’ve got your heat-seeking missile right here,” Jan quipped.

  “Oh my god, I’ve fallen into a bad romance novel.” She groaned. “Hurry up and fuck me senseless again before your purple prose kills me.”

  He drizzled lube down the seam between her cheeks and started working it into her ass. “Quit complaining. You don’t mind it when we skewer you with our purple swords.”
