if he’d gone to Galvetta, Saul would be dead, and the house he’d built would be cinders.
“I don’t feel right,” Jack Henry mumbled.
“Maybe it isn’t shock,” Elias said after sniffing along his neck. “Maybe it’s heat.”
Jasper could smell it. His senses had been so overwhelmed by the smell of blood and gasoline, by the rush of anger and self-recrimination, that he hadn’t picked up on it before, but yes. The ripe scent of heat hovered in the air. He set his own pain aside. They had a long night ahead of them.
JACK HENRY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“I want a baby.”
“That’s the heat talking,” Elias had carried Jack Henry into the cabin and set him down on the mattresses ranging across the floor. Jack Henry rolled onto his back and stared up at the crude plank ceiling. Being back in the cabin was like going back in time—to before he’d known everything could be taken from him in a heartbeat.
“I want a baby,” he repeated. His determination to bear his mates’ child had formed while the possibility of Lon getting him pregnant had loomed threateningly over him, but it’d grown stronger as one almost-loss after another presented itself. He needed to bind his mates to him, to fight off the fickle hand of fate with a living, breathing child. He didn’t ever want to come this close to losing everything again.
“Baby!” The heat made him sound weak and fuzzy, but he meant it. He really meant it. He needed… needed something. Needed everything. “Help me.”
“Here.” Elias pulled his face into his groin. “Just breathe, Jackie.”
He inhaled deeply, letting the smell of mate settle his nerves even as it ramped up his desire, crystalizing it into more coherent demands. “Fuck me. All of you have to fuck me.”
“Saul might not be up for it,” Jasper warned.
Saul brushed off Jasper’s attempt to let him off the hook. “I’ll fuck him. I need to.” He had a hand pressed to the bandages wrapped around his torso and his other arm bound across his chest. Jack Henry knew how serious his wounds were, but still, he needed Saul. He needed all of them, one after another, releasing loads into his ass, claiming him, marking him as theirs and only theirs, making a baby.
“How about you suck on this for a minute?” Jasper suggested, freeing Elias’s cock to tilt it toward him. Jack Henry opened his mouth obediently. His insistent need to be fucked eased as he gobbled his way to the base of Elias’s shaft, but Jasper and Saul were doing something to each other next to him, and he wouldn’t have it. No sharing tonight. All for him. He pulled off Elias’s cock to protest, but Jasper pushed his head back down.
“I’m not taking Saul from you, you greedy thing. I’m just helping him get undressed. You’re going to have to go easy on him tonight.”
That was fine. Any position. It didn’t have to be hard. He just needed to be filled, to be taken, to be owned by the ones who had a right to own him.
“He’s going to make me come,” Elias warned as Jack Henry sucked on him harder, greedy like Jasper had accused him of being.
“Let him. The more come he takes in, the better. We’ve learned that lesson, right? Here, ease up a second, Jack Henry. I’m going to get some cock in your ass.”
Jack Henry slowed his slurping as Jasper manhandled him onto his side. Saul tucked in behind him, cradling him gently to fill him with cock from the other end. Jack Henry moaned around the cock in his mouth. Yes, this was what he needed—to get it from all sides, one load after another. It would never be enough.
Elias came down his throat, dosing him with a happy burst of come, and then Jasper’s cock replaced Elias’s as Saul continued to slide slowly in and out of his ass. He pushed back, wanting more, but Jasper held his hips still until he remembered. Saul was hurt. He would get fucked hard later.
Knot? he asked Jasper with his eyes.
“We’ll do that last,” Jasper said, understanding exactly what he needed, as always. “For now, you just let Saul make love to your ass. I’m going to give you the fuck you need another way.” And with that, he did—jamming his cock down Jack Henry’s throat so far he swore he felt it coming out the other end. Jack Henry gurgled and groaned. His eyes rolled back in his head as Jasper used
