Neil, Louisa - One Queen with Two Kings (Siren Publishing Ménage and More) (13 page)

Thea couldn’t sleep, her mind going over the possibilities. What would be her reaction if Dexter came to her and told her the truth? She wouldn’t give him the satisfaction of breaking down in front of him. This was another crisis that she’d have to stand tall and rise above, if only not to let herself go crazy completely. The last thing she wanted was to be a screaming shrew. No, if they were going to break up, she’d try to do it
with
some amount of dignity. Thea realized she had to decide where her line of no return was. What was her line that when crossed was too much for her to deal with?

Dexter woke alone. He took a moment to stretch his limbs and punched his pillow, settling back into the comfortable cocoon of blankets. He figured Thea would be back
.
M
aybe she was making coffee. Coffee in bed and a quick morning session of making love to his wife seemed like a plan. But the longer he lay there, the more his conscience became torn.

He and Russ had often debated about what their family and friends were going through while they
had been
missing. They’d agreed many times that their sexual escapades would end automatically if they ever got home. Yet last night, restless and hungry, he’d left Thea sleeping to raid the refrigerator. It was another of the little things he’d missed. Their steady diet had been water, fish
,
and the occasional piece of fruit, if they could get them down from the trees. He swore he’d never eat mangos again. Nor would fish be his first choice for any meal.

Dexter hadn’t expected to find Russ doing the same thing. They’d shared cold milk from the gallon jug and started to reminisce
about
what foods they wanted to taste next. Their hushed comments l
e
d to laughter and a quick hug as Dexter was heading back to bed. But the hug had turned into an embrace. They’d pulled away, Dex feeling guilty
,
but he didn’t separate from Russ. Instead, they’d wandered to the deck, the cool air welcomed by both of them. Standing side by side looking at the mountains, their conversation started out stilted.

“I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of this view,” Dexter said.

“I’ll never take a vacation to a tropical location again
,
” Russ reinforced with a laugh.

“I’ve still got sand in places sand shouldn’t be.”

“Like I don’t too!” Finally, they laughed easily. “I still can’t really believe we’re home, back in civilization.” Russ shook his head.

“Thea keeps saying she’s afraid this is a dream,
and
so do I. I’m afraid I’ll wake up and be back on that lousy island.”

“Me
,
too
. Those
are my worst nightmares,” Russ admitted.

“We have to let them go,” Dexter told him, adding, “Along with other things from the island.”

“I know, Dex. I’m horny and want you
,
but I see Thea and long to fuck her too. If I ever got the
go-ahead
, I’d bury my face between her legs and lick her until she couldn’t come
anymore
.”

“I’m working on that very activity. Can you believe I fell asleep on her tonight? I was so excited about getting her in bed tonight, but by the time she came from the shower, exhaustion got the better of me. I never felt her come to bed. When I woke, I felt guilty for being exhausted.”

“We’ve all been through a lot these past days. Exhaustion is to be expected.” Russ dropped his arm over Dexter’s shoulder. “When we fantasized about being rescued, the reality of it never entered my mind. I pictured it all as one long welcome
-
home party.”

“Well that’s kind of what we’ve gotten. I never would have believed what she went through when we were gone. I pictured her grieving but moving on with her life. We knew we’d have to deal with the sabotage to the plane, but it was a cruel awakening to find Lloyd admitting it and trying to marry her to take over Wainwright Industrial.”

“She didn’t let it happen, Dex. She was smart enough to see through him. And you know she never slept with him.”

“Yeah, I know. But I’ve got another problem.”

“What is it
,
Dex
?
What’s
wrong? Is there a problem with you and Thea?”

“No, not the way you’re thinking. It’s a problem about you.” Dex reached his hand to hold Russell’s arm in place. “It’s a strange quandary
,
my friend. When I’m with her it’s heaven, but I keep thinking about you. Wondering what you’re doing for sex. Remembering what we did to and for each other these last two years. I thought I could walk away from it
,
but I keep thinking about how we moved together. I truly want to let that all go
,
but can’t.” He let out a sigh.

“In the back of my mind I assumed I’d figure out a way to get the best of both worlds. That we’d find some way to keep what we had and still keep Thea without her knowing. Now I feel guilty having sex with my wife when you don’t have another outlet besides masturbating.”

“Masturbating all the time.” Russ laughed. “Kinda like being back on the island.”

“On the island, we found other outlets.” Dexter glanced to Russ. It was a look that had crossed between them many times in the last two years. It conveyed need and heat, longing and pleasure. Dexter shook his head. “I feel guilty, like I should be sharing Thea with you.”

“I think that’s a decision she’ll have to make. And I’ll live up to my promise
. If
it will make life easier for you two, when things are settled, I’ll move out west and start over there.”

“I don’t think I could
bear
letting you go across the country. We’ve been best friends for twenty years. How do we let that relationship go?”

“There’s going
to
come a point when we’ll have to, if you and Thea want to have a normal life.”

“I’m not sure what normal is anymore.”

“Where’s Thea, still asleep
?
” Russ asked, reaching in front of Dexter with his other hand. He dropped it to his crotch and stroked Dexter’s cock through the
sweatpants
. “You’re hard already
.
Is
that for me or Thea?”

“It should be for Thea, but I’m realizing you’re like an addiction. I just can’t walk away. What does that make me
,
Russ? I’m madly in love with my wife
,
and I love you also. I want us to continue our private relationship
,
too. I guess I want it all, and in reality I can’t have both.”

Russell pulled from Dexter’s body and dropped before him. As he descended, he hooked his thumbs in the waistband of Dexter’s pants and drew them down to his ankles. Dexter’s cock sprang free, fully erect. He glanced down and watched Russell capture it with his hand and feed it between his lips. Dexter let his head drop back on his shoulders and let his friend make love to him. It amazed him the difference in getting head from Russ to Thea. Both were wonderful and intense, but both were vastly different.

“You’re getting harder, Dex
.
I can taste you already.”

“I’ve been missing you. Even with Thea beside me, I’ve been thinking about you locking your lips around me and drawing me down your throat.”

“Glad to be of help, if”
—
Russ used his hand to pump Dexter’s cock while he spoke
—
“
if
you screw my ass before you come.”

“Anything you want,” Dex uttered, gently pushing Russ’s mouth back to his cock. “Suck me a bit longer and then I’ll fuck you.” He longed to feel the pull of Russell’s lips, swallowing him f
a
rther and f
a
rther down his throat. “Russ, you’ll make me come soon
. If
you want me to do you, you’d better stop.”

Russell took one last long pull on Dexter’s cock and rose before him, his hands roaming Dexter’s naked body. Tu
rni
ng his back to
Dexter
,
Russell
dropped his pants and braced his weight on the deck railing. “Fuck me, Dex
.
Do
n’t be gentle
. Fuck
me like you mean it, like you can’t live without it.”

“I’m not sure I can live without you anymore,” Dex said, grasping the other man’s hips, tugging him closer.

Dexter’s cock was still slick with Russell’s saliva
,
and he didn’t waste any time. Russell braced his weight against the railing, using his hands to reach back and pull his butt cheeks wide. Dexter groaned
,
and with one hand on his cock and the other on Russell’s shoulder, pushed his cock into the other man’s body in one smooth motion. He stilled so he wouldn’t come, taking a few deep breaths before starting to fuck him, taking first slow th
e
n fast thrusts.

“Oh
,
Dex, I’ve missed this. Yanking my cock just isn’t the same. You fill me beyond full.”

“If you keep clenching your anus around me, I’ll come right now.”

“It’s automatic, my friend.” Russell’s words were short and his breathing uneven. “Once your cock is in my ass
,
I need to pull it deeper.”

“Are you pulling your cock? Are you hard?”

“Of course
.
I got hard the instant I dropped to my knees before you.”

“Damn it, Russ, I’m going to come
.
I don’t think I can hold back.”

“Then come, Dex, come inside me. The rest of the night I’ll feel your cum slipping from my body and remember how this felt.”

Dexter grasped Russell’s hips a second time and held him tight to his cock, his hips jutting forward. At the last second, he pulled from Russell’s butt and sprayed his cum onto his cheeks. He came with a loud groan. Russ had just spurted his
cum
on the decking in front of them. Dexter pulled Russ back to his body and held him tight, until both men were breathing normally. He stood behind his friend for a long time, his chin resting on Russ’s shoulder.

“Now I’m tired,” Russ joked.

“Me too.” Dexter took a step back and bent down. He grasped Russell’s pants and pulled them up his legs. Then he reached down a second time and drew his pants up his legs.

“I’m going to have to wash up before going back to bed. Thea will smell you on me.”

“Maybe one day your aqua queen will accept the three of us together. Maybe she’ll understand that it wouldn’t take anything away from your relationship
. It
would be more like adding another set of hands, lips
,
and a second cock to your play time.”
