Wolves at the Door (MMM) (9 page)

Shrugging, Patrick said, “Depends. I
don’t like surprise parties, but I like it when Aiden plans little
things for us.”

Steven’s eyes lit up briefly.
“Romantic things?” he said quietly.

Patrick nodded slowly, wondering if
Steven was implying what he hoped. “Yeah. Anticipation is nice,
too, but I do like surprises.”

“
I do, too,” Steven said,
turning as they moved forward. The conversation seemed to be at an
end.

Patrick focused on the task at hand,
not wanting to get his hopes up. Steven could, on occasion, be a
bit of a tease. Maybe he was only feeling Patrick out for future
reference. Until Steven actually made a move, Patrick knew he
needed to concentrate on being patient and not let his controlling
nature and lack of patience cause him unneeded
heartache.

Steven sat between his two men on the
couch, enjoying the wine Patrick had picked for them. They’d been
talking about movies, but then the conversation had faded. The
silence proved companionable, not awkward, but still Steven took
this chance to stand up and kneel in front of the couch. He looked
down into his wine, feeling theirs gazes on him.

“
I have something I’d like
to say,” Steven said. He raised his eyes and found both men staring
at him intently. He could almost see their other forms in their
eyes. He shivered, setting his glass down.

“
What is it, Steven?”
Aiden asked.

“
I’ve been thinking. Aiden
and I talked about me moving in here. It’s a very big decision.
I’ve never lived with a lover before. I’m not sure about that yet,
but it is something I think we three should discuss together. Just
not tonight.”

“
Then what are we talking
about tonight?” Patrick asked.

Steven looked into Patrick’s eyes.
“I’m willing to discuss moving in with you both because I’ve
finally accepted that we can make this work long term. I’ve done
lots of very practical thinking about how we all interact and how
we work through everyday life and problems. I feel good about it.
Most importantly, though, I realized something.” He turned to
Aiden. “I love you.” He glanced back to Patrick. “I love both of
you. I don’t care if others think it is crazy. I thought it wasn’t
possible at first. Now, I know it’s very possible to love two men
both differently and equally.”

Patrick caressed Steven’s face and
cupped his chin. “We love you, too.”

Steven smiled and leaned in to kiss
Patrick. The possessive yet loving kiss made him moan. “I want you
to claim me tonight, Patrick.”

Patrick kissed his forehead and
smiled. “Then I will.”

Steven loved how Patrick’s sweet side
came out more fully with even these little gestures of submission.
Patrick could still be frustratingly controlling, but when Steven
showed affection and devotion toward him those tendencies took on a
different feel. They made him feel loved and protected. “I
understand the alpha thing better now. I’ll never be completely
comfortable with it, but I do see how it works between you and
Aiden. And I do feel the difference now. I know you do it out of
instinct and love. Please promise you and I will talk things
through the way we have been. Be patient with me.”

“
I will, love.” Patrick
kissed his lips again.

Aiden drew closer and kissed Steven,
too. “I’m so happy, Steven. I love you. I could see you and Patrick
becoming closer, but I tried not to interfere. Even in this kind of
relationship, we have to be able to function without the third
person around. I’ve been dying to talk to you, but I held
back.”

Steven hugged Aiden close. “Thank you.
I needed time and space to work things out on my own.” He laughed
and pulled back. “Wow, this all sounds corny, but I mean it. Thank
you.”

Patrick asked, “So I haven’t been
failing miserably, I take it?”

“
No.” Steven shook his
head. “Not at all. You’ve done well. Our arguments are fun …
sometimes.”

“
Sometimes?” Patrick
asked.

Steven nodded. He briefly recalled
their last dispute, which had revolved around Steven wanting to
give Patrick and Aiden money for groceries since he ate with them
almost every night. “Yes, when your eyes flash like you’re going to
bite me.”

“
Bite you?” Patrick said
with a laugh. “Don’t tempt me, Steven.”

Steven put his arms around Patrick.
“That’s exactly what I want to do tonight. I want you to claim me.
I can see there’s still something missing between us. I want to be
as close to you as I am to Aiden.”

Patrick leaned in, and Steven expected
to be dominated and manhandled, based on the look in Patrick’s
eyes. Yet Patrick’s touch was slow and gentle. The kiss had a
tender quality that made Steven gasp. Steven got lost in the kiss,
and then he realized Patrick was lifting him into his arms. He took
hold of Patrick’s shoulders, a bit stunned at being carried bridal
style.

“
Deal with it. I’m still
the alpha,” Patrick whispered playfully.

“
Does the alpha ever take
it up the ass?” Steven asked.

Patrick brushed their lips together.
“When he’s with a man he loves, he’s more than willing to do
so.”

Steven blinked, and Patrick smiled as
he set Steven on his feet. “That surprise you, Steven?”

“
Yes. I was teasing. I
didn’t imagine you’d let me.”

“
Not tonight, but one
day.” Patrick unbuttoned Steven’s shirt, dipping his head down to
kiss Steven’s chest once it had been exposed. “But tonight I’m
tending to you, with Aiden’s help.”

Steven lifted his gaze to Aiden, who
leaned in the doorway watching. Aiden’s hard cock made quite a
bulge in his jeans. Steven moaned as Patrick teased one nipple with
his teeth. Patrick nipped and sucked in ways that made Steven’s
balls ache. Then that skilled tongue licked a trail down his
abdomen. Patrick very carefully freed Steven’s cock and suckled the
head. Pleasure overwhelmed Steven as Patrick gradually took more.
Patrick sat back to give an order.

“
Stroke your cock,
Aiden.”

“
Love it when you do
that,” Steven said. “Tell us what to do.”

“
Aiden said you did. You
should have told me,” Patrick said, pumping Steven’s cock and
licking the head.

Steven watched Aiden free his cock and
then lightly stroke it. Aiden slowly worked his clothes off with
one hand, making the event almost a striptease.

“
Aiden is so beautiful,”
Steven said, looking down at Patrick.

Patrick stood and removed his shirt.
“I know.” He reached over and grabbed Aiden around the waist,
pulling him into a kiss. The two men nuzzled against each other. “I
knew he was mine by his scent when we met as wolves. I was
overjoyed when he changed and I saw how perfect he was.” He stroked
Aiden’s cheek. “Lie down and watch us, baby. Don’t
come.”

Aiden obeyed, stretching out at the
foot of the bed.

“
Lie down, too, baby,”
Patrick said to Steven.

Steven sat on the bed and reclined as
Patrick finished undressing. Emotions overwhelmed him. He’d
imagined this would be a night a hot, frenzied sex. He hadn’t
expected this slow pace. These men really loved him, and with this
kind of love this relationship would work. He’d do his part to make
sure it did.

“
Expose yourself for me.
Offer me your ass,” Patrick said.

Steven had heard this request before.
He imitated what Aiden had done when Patrick said these words. He
grabbed his knees and pulled them to his chest, spreading his
cheeks and lifting his ass. He loved feeling exposed this way under
Patrick’s hot gaze.

“
Beautiful,” Patrick said.
Patrick braced himself on the bed and began kissing and licking
Steven’s thighs. He used his teeth occasionally, sending shivers of
lust through Steven. He took his sweet time, tasting every inch of
Steven. Patrick licked the skin between Steven’s anus and balls,
massaging deep with his tongue.

Steven cried out, his cock jerking and
leaking. Patrick lapped the pre-cum up, sucking the head
roughly.

“
That hole wants to be
filled. I see it expanding and contracting for me,” Patrick
said.

Steven could feel it himself. He
needed Patrick inside of him. “Please claim me,” Steven
begged.

Patrick ran one finger over Steven’s
hole but didn’t penetrate. He teased around the rim, looking into
Steven’s eyes.

“
Please, Patrick,” Steven
whispered.

Patrick slid that finger in about an
inch. He smiled and knelt down, his tongue replacing his finger. He
spread Steven wide and slid his tongue deep. Steven moaned under
the assault. He rocked to the rhythm of the oral fucking. Patrick
made him feel pleasure on new levels when he ate him out. Tonight
was the second time Patrick had done this, and Steven had to fight
not to come.

Steven gasped when he felt a hand on
his cock. His eyes focused on Aiden, who gripped the base of
Steve’s cock while still touching his own.

“
I know it’s hard not to
come when he does that.” Aiden kissed Steven. Then he smiled. “I
love it when he does that.”

Steven tilted his head for another
kiss. “Oh yes. So good.”

Patrick finally backed off, but
Steven’s body felt taut with need. Aiden lubed Patrick’s cock, the
two men kissing very sweetly.

“
We’re complete now, baby.
I love you,” Patrick said.

“
I love you, too,” Aiden
said. He stretched out by Steven again and kept jerking himself
slowly. “Claim him, Patrick.”

Patrick moved in, rubbing his cock
over Steven’s ass a long time before entering him. Patrick’s long,
thick cock stretched Steven. The veiny shaft felt so good as it
slid home. Patrick immediately began fucking Steven, moving in and
out with a steady, brisk rhythm. The intensity in his eyes took
Steven’s breath away. The pleasure built again, and Steven was on
edge. He reached for Patrick, who came down to meet him. Patrick
pressed Steven into the mattress, Steven’s cock trapped between
them. Patrick joined his hands with Steven’s and pressed them above
Steven’s head. They kissed frantically as they both neared
completion.

Patrick broke the kiss. “Come here,
Aiden.”

Steven looked at Aiden, who looked to
be close to coming, too. Aiden moved in and brought his cock to
Steven’s mouth. “Yes,” Steven whispered before kissing the head and
taking Aiden’s cock.

Aiden and Patrick kissed, and as
Steven sucked harder Aiden came into his mouth, crying out both
their names over and over as he panted. Steven went over the edge
next, his cum running everywhere and coating all three of them.
Patrick looked down at Steven and groaned, shooting inside of
Steven’s ass.

Steven couldn’t even tell who was
touching and kissing him soon, and he loved every second of it. He
got lost in the arms of his two amazing wolves, giving his heart as
freely as he surrendered his body.

Aiden watched Patrick and Steven
playing basketball. Spring had finally arrived, though for once
Aiden had really enjoyed winter. The past several months had been
filled with joy and love as he spent every day with the men he
loved. Aiden loved Patrick more now than he ever had before, and
Steven had won his heart a hundred times over. He’d also had the
pleasure of watching Patrick and Steven fall more in love with each
other as well. They bickered and often annoyed one another, at
times driving Aiden crazy, but the three of them together really
worked.

Patrick’s and Aiden’s parents adored
Steven. At first, things had been awkward, but soon everyone had
adjusted. Steven grew more comfortable every day with the way their
love worked, and Aiden had never been so fulfilled and
content.

Steven smiled over at him. “Aren’t you
supposed to be cooking hamburgers?” he called.

Aiden blinked and looked down at the
grill. “Yeah. Guess so.” He flipped the meat and went back to
watching the two men running around by the garage.

As always, Patrick had known exactly
what they needed. Aiden laughed as Steven missed a shot, blowing
the man a kiss. Steven pretended to catch it, but then he stuck his
hand down the front of his shorts. Patrick dropped the basketball
and wrapped his arms around Steven, kissing the back of his neck as
he grinned at Aiden with a mischievous look.

“
What’s the point of me
cooking these if you two are going to drag me inside and do
unspeakable things to me?” Aiden asked.

“
We can stick them in the
oven,” Patrick said, taking Steven’s hand and leading him
inside.

Aiden watched them go, grinning. He
tapped his foot, willing the meat to cook faster. “Screw it,” he
said, plating the meat on a clean platter and taking it in. “We all
like ‘em rare anyway.”

Aiden shoved the burgers in the oven
and set it to “warm” before following the happy and excited sounds
to their bedroom.

The End
