“You never know. She might end up pregnant in the next few months. We need to be ready regardless.”

Kirk could see the slightly sick look on Brad’s face and had to grin. For such a dominant bastard, he was a baby when it came to things like that. He liked teasing him. Then he sobered up. They really didn’t need for Carmen to get pregnant this soon. There was too much to get done during the first year.

They worked for the next hour and a half unloading the fence material and loading back the paraphernalia they would need at the house sites.

“I talked with Greg while I was waiting on them to load up the supplies. We decided to work at the house site tomorrow and then start the fence the next day.” Brad wiped at the sweat dripping from his forehead.

“Sounds like a good plan. You ready to go inside?” Kirk asked.

“Yeah. I need a shower.”

Kirk followed Brad inside. Carmen wasn’t in the kitchen, but something sure smelled good. He resisted the temptation to lift the lid on the pot on the stove. He was dirty. He needed a shower first. They found her curled up on the couch reading.

“Hey, you two. Get everything done?”

“Yeah, going to take a shower and then we’ll be ready for dinner.” Brad acted like he was going to kiss her.

Carmen cringed and giggled. “Go away. You’re nasty and you stink.”

They both feigned hurt.

“Go on, I’m not going to fall for that
poor, pitiful me
look.” She waved them up the stairs.

Kirk took the hall bathroom while Brad got the master bath. Right then, a shower was a shower when all he planned to do was get clean. He wondered if Brad was truly pissed that he had fucked Carmen while he was gone. Maybe he should have talked to him a little more about it before they came inside.

He didn’t want there to be anything between any of them like that. Nothing could ruin a relationship faster than jealousy. He would bring it up again in the morning when they were on their way out to the jobsite. He wanted to be sure Brad was okay.

Dinner proved to be delicious with more of the currick and roast from one of the rancher’s cows. Afterward, he and Brad talked in the living room while Carmen cleaned up. He almost brought up his and Carmen’s afternoon delight, but decided to wait until the next morning.

A few minutes later, Carmen joined them and suggested they all head to bed.

“It’s already after ten, and we all need to be up early in the morning.”

Brad immediately began to strip once they were upstairs. He stood watching Carmen while she undressed. When she headed for the bathroom, he grabbed her and carried her to the bed instead.

“You can take a shower later. I need you now, baby.” He slid down in the bed and buried his face in her pussy.

Kirk concentrated on her breasts. He would help satisfy Carmen, but he would stay in the background. Brad needed his turn with her. He hoped they weren’t going to be competing for her from now on. It would never work like that.

“Oh, God, Brad!”

“You taste so spicy and sweet all at the same time.” Brad’s voice was muffled against her pussy lips as he licked and sucked.

Kirk could tell that Carmen was slowly growing close to orgasm. Her moans were higher pitched with each suck of Brad’s mouth. She squirmed on the bed between them. Kirk rolled a nipple between his thumb and finger then pinched it, smiling when he heard her indrawn breath.

“Please!” she called out.

“Please, what, baby?” Brad asked.

“Do something. I need to come. I can’t stand this.”

Brad growled low in his throat before pulling back to look at Kirk. He nodded at the other man that he was ready to make her come.

“Hold on, Carmen.”

Brad began sucking on her clit in earnest as Kirk pinched and nipped at her nipples. It was enough to send her screaming into orgasm. She thrashed on the bed until Brad climbed on top of her and buried his cock deep inside her cunt. He pulled out and tunneled his way back in over and over until she was moaning and thrusting her hips up to meet him.

Kirk wasn’t sure Brad was all there as he powered in and out of their woman’s hot cunt. His eyes were closed as he pummeled her with his thick dick. Kirk almost said something, but kept his mouth closed. They would discuss it in the morning. Carmen was in no way being hurt. On the contrary, she was eating it up, grabbing his hips with her legs as he fucked her right into another climax.

Kirk covered her mouth with his as soon as she began to scream the second time. She moaned into his lips as he licked and sucked on her tongue. When he pulled back, it was to see a slightly sick look on Brad’s face. The other man had realized he’d been out of control, and was worried now.

“Carmen? Baby, are you okay?” he asked without looking at her.

“I’m fine, Brad. Better than fine.” She sighed and ran her hands down his chest.

The other man slowly pulled out from her pussy and rolled over to the other side of the bed. For a minute, Brad looked as if he was going to just go to sleep, but then he climbed out of the bed and pulled Carmen with him.

“Let’s get you cleaned up and back in bed. You’re bound to be tired.”

Kirk didn’t hear Carmen’s reply as they walked into the bathroom. He hated that he’d had any part in Brad’s loss of control, but he knew that he had. They should have talked before either one of them had fucked her alone. They were obviously going to have to work out some problems, or their future as a family would suffer.

He heard the shower running and got up to straighten the bed. How was he going to approach Brad about all of this? His best friend was used to being in charge and dominating his women in bed. Sharing that with Kirk was already getting to him. They had a lot to work out.

Several minutes later, they emerged from the shower smiling and seemingly relaxed. He searched Brad’s face, but couldn’t tell for sure. Kirk sighed. He’d find out in the morning.

They all climbed back into the big bed to sleep. Kirk was the last to finally relax enough to go to sleep. Before he succumbed, he ran his hand over Carmen’s shoulder, thinking that she was perfect for them. If he could just figure out how to settle Brad down, they would be just fine.

Chapter Seven

Brad and Kirk climbed into the transport to meet the other two at the new house site. He could tell that Kirk had something on his mind by the way he kept shifting in the transport seat.

“Whatever it is, say it, man. You obviously have something on your mind.”

“Look, we need to get past the jealousy crap, Brad. We’re going to be with Carmen alone sometimes. I’m sorry if my having sex with her alone yesterday bothered you, but it shouldn’t have.”

“You’re right. It did, but it shouldn’t have. I’ve got to work on that.” Brad grimaced. He hated having to make that concession.

“She’s going to pick up on our moods and feel like she’s the cause of it. We’ve got to figure this out today and keep our problems between us and only us.”

“It’s not so much that I don’t want to share, Kirk. I do. I love seeing her eyes when you suck on her breasts. They grow all molten and heavy. I enjoy watching you with her. I just have to realize that sometimes, you’re going to have her alone.”

“You like to be in charge, and when we are alone, you can’t be. I get that, Brad. You’re already compromising a lot with her by backing off some on the dominance. I can appreciate that.”

“Kirk, I’m going to push her some more tonight. I want to see her gain so much pleasure that she nearly passes out. I know we can give it to her.”

Kirk sighed and shook his head.

“What?”

“You’re changing the subject. Get back on track.”

“I’m going to work on it, Kirk. I don’t know what else I can say.”

“That you aren’t going to get all pissy if I fuck her again without you.”

“Okay, okay. I’ll restrain myself, somehow.” He blew out a breath and nodded toward the house site as they pulled up.

“Greg and Steven are already here. They look a little peeved for some reason.”

“Are we late?” Brad checked his new watch that accommodated the extra hour in their day.

“No. Must be something else.” Kirk unbuckled the harness and climbed out of the transport.

“Hey, guys. Everything okay?”

“Yeah, just a little disharmony at home is all,” Steven said.

“I think getting used to a ménage relationship is going to take some time and a lot of effort.” Brad climbed out of the transport and jumped to the ground.

“Yeah, well, getting used to a woman with a mind of her own is going to be what is tough to deal with.” Greg pulled out his tool belt and fastened it around his waist.

“I take it that little Janet is giving you a difficult time,” Brad said with a grin.

Steven scowled at him. “And you’re not having trouble?”

Brad sobered up. “Yeah, well.”

“Right. I thought as much.” Steven grabbed his tools and headed for the cleared land.

They began laying out timber and tools to set up the foundation. They were using blocks made of a combination of concrete and a resin derived from the planet that seemed to be five times stronger than concrete was.

For the next four hours, they worked on the house, then broke for a lunch of sandwiches that each of the men had brought with them. They talked about the fence situation and how much area they were planning to take in.

“We’ve got ours covering the garden and a good portion of the backyard for a play area once the children start,” Kirk told them.

“Yeah, we are doing the same thing. I sure hope we get a little more time before Janet gets pregnant, though.” Greg ran a hand through his hair.

“Not much we can do to prevent it. Besides not having condoms, we agreed to populate the planet by coming here,” Brad pointed out.

They all stopped talking and got back to work. Each seemed to be in their own thoughts when a freak storm blew up. They ran for the transports and settled down to wait it out.

“I think they are having just as much trouble as we are from the sounds of it,” Kirk pointed out.

“I guess everyone has to get used to the arrangement. Maybe we should talk to someone who has been here a while and see if they can offer any suggestions.”

“That’s probably a good idea. I don’t want to put a burden on Carmen by thinking she has to keep us both happy all the time. If she senses that one or both of us are unhappy, she’s going to stress over it.” Kirk looked out the rain-slick window.

Brad watched the thunderclouds roll by as lightning flashed and the rain came down in sheets. They could feel the wind shifting the transport. He wasn’t sure about the weather here and wondered how long the rain would last.

As it was, it cleared up after an hour, leaving muddy puddles of water all over the area for them to have to step around. He wasn’t sure they were going to be able to work much more since they were building the foundation.

To his surprise, the sun came out and began drying things up. Steam rose from the ground as water evaporated. Brad briefly wondered if they had gotten rain at their place or not. He hoped Carmen hadn’t gotten caught out in it. The rain had come down hard enough to sting his skin. It had hurt to some extent.

The idea that Carmen might have felt it bothered him. He realized he didn’t want anything to happen to her. He was already attached. He grinned and wondered how deep Kirk was with her. Together they could make her very happy or make her life miserable. He vowed right then and there to work on his jealousy. It wasn’t so much that he was jealous that she and Kirk had fucked, but that he hadn’t been there to direct it and enjoy it.
