Twenty-Three

Picking up immediately on Matty’s mood, Nico asked excitedly, “What is it?”

“I haven’t told any of you yet because I wanted to wait until Eden and Nico were back.”

This captured everyone’s undivided attention.

“I kept feeling as if I needed a mentor, but we all know Father Andrew has ulterior motives and has outlived his usefulness for me because of that. I needed someone who was more removed from my life who could see things clearly. So, yesterday I went back to our old school to visit with Father Kiefer.”

“Our old Latin teacher!” exclaimed Nico with a big grin. “I know you enjoyed that class and all of the Roman history he taught us along with the Latin. He was wonderful.”

“He still is wonderful, but his eyesight is failing, and he’s ready to retire from teaching. We had a long conversation, and I won’t go into all of it, but he thinks I ought to take over his classes.”

“Matty, that would be perfect!” Nico cried. “So much better for you than becoming a priest.” Then he sobered as his hopes took a tumble. “They don’t expect you to take vows, do they?” As far as he could remember, all of their instructors had been priests.

Matty chuckled. “No, but he was glad I’d been to seminary and said because of that, they might even have me teach more than just Latin—I’m hoping he meant religious history or philosophy—but being a deacon was fine with them, and if I prefer to become a lay teacher, that will also work. Things are changing a bit in the school to keep up with the times.” He grinned. “Anyway, I spoke to the headmaster who remembered me as well, and the two of them together acted like I’d shown up bearing gifts. They weren’t at all sure of what they were going to do for a new teacher and said I was an answer to their prayers. The fact that I’d been a student there weighed heavily in my favor, even though I ended up somewhere else. They knew all about the school I went to and said it was also well-respected.” Looking very pleased with himself, he added, “They assumed I knew that the boarding school was tuition-free because it was designed for students who are in unusual situations—some are orphans, and some had problems at their previous school—but still needed a good Catholic education. So now I know that’s one less debt I owe anyone. No thanks to Father Andrew for letting me in on that information.”

“What about Father Andrew?” Nico asked. “Have you spoken to him about this?”

“I haven’t been able to speak to him about anything yet. He’s clearly been avoiding me. I’m not sure what he’s trying to accomplish.”

“How strange,” Walter said thoughtfully. Everyone agreed with him; it was odd behavior.

They also concurred that Matty’s conversation with Father Kiefer was potentially marvelous, and Suzette said Matty’s news called for a celebration. Matty demurred, however, and cautioned them, “Let’s see if I can extricate myself from Father Andrew’s demands first and get a contract with the school before we have a party. You never know. Maybe the school board will somehow find me unacceptable. Maybe some of them knew my father, and they won’t take kindly to a failed priest who’s the son of a bankrupt alcoholic teaching the young men of Los Angeles. Let’s remain cautiously optimistic. Besides, there is a wedding to plan, and that’s far more important than where I work.”

“Nonsense, Matty. You’re as important to us as we are to each other. Whatever affects you is going to affect us for the rest of our lives. Remember that.” He looked at Eden, who was stifling a yawn. “But now, let’s all head to bed before Eden falls asleep with her face in her dessert.”

Before they stood to go, Suzette spoke up, “Wait, please. It is so wonderful to have you three here and together. So… Isaac, Walter, and I have something to share with you as well, if you can spare another minute or two. I am sorry Eden, I see how fatigued you are, but this will not take long, I promise.”

Eden smiled and said, “Please go on. I can certainly stay awake long enough to listen.”

Suzette’s smile widened, and her eyes sparkled. “We have discussed that the three of you have a lot of changes happening in your lives right now, and perhaps adding even more change to that would not only be unnecessary, it might be detrimental.”

“Does this have to do with us getting married?” Nico asked.

“Mm, in a way it does, yes,” she answered. “We think that the three of you need to concentrate on your new jobs. Nicolo is to work full-time in the clinic for the first time ever, Eden is hopefully going to be a wife to two men,” she gave Matty a pointed look, and he smiled back at her, “and a mother, and Matty, now we are delighted to hear that you will take on a new position teaching bright young men and impacting their lives in a good way. You all need to learn how to navigate an unusual marriage, and one thing you don’t need to worry about is where you are going to be living. Eden, you can benefit from the assistance of all of us with your new baby, and you won’t need to run a household at the same time. And to be perfectly frank, not one of you is financially ready for a new house, even with the best deal New West Builders can give you. This house of ours is so large, we have more than enough room, and to me it will be like living back in France at my father’s chateau with my family and my older brother’s family under one roof. My grandmother also lived with us for several years.”

“Also,” Isaac added, “another thing about remaining here is that there may come a time when one or more of you feels the need to maintain a certain level of privacy about your relationship. We think you’ll be able to achieve that better here than you might living in your own home with just the three of you. Here, you look like part of a big household. On your own, you may attract more attention. I wish that were not so, but it seems people are naturally nosy about other folks and their private business.”

Suzette asked, “So, what do you all think? Will you forget the notion of moving away and stay here?”

Eden was the first to respond, saying, “That is wonderfully generous of you. Personally, I love the idea.”

“Maman, Pa, Papa, thank you,” Nico said with love in his eyes. “It’s a wonderful idea. I was worried about Eden especially since I might have long or late hours unexpectedly, and now I know she will have plenty of help and company, even while Matty is off at work. And I know also that Matty needs reassurance by being surrounded by family.”

Matty had a soft, loving expression on his face when he answered, “I wish I had more to contribute. You all have given me so much. Thank you for the wonderful offer. I also love the idea. I just have to solidify a few things in my life before I can commit to anything. I’m sure you all understand.”

Isaac spoke up and answered, “Matty, just love them. That’s all we would like to see from you. And be the man you were meant to be. You owe us nothing. We can’t tell you often enough that you are like a son to us, and we hope you will stay where you are loved, and where you belong.”

Walter smiled contentedly. “Now all of you go to bed before Eden collapses. We understand you have many adjustments to make. Be open and not afraid to love.”

That reminded Nico. “Papa, I meant to ask, did you or Pa find a cooperative judge in Los Angeles yet? One who would agree to marry the three of us?”

“Not yet, son. We’ll keep trying.”

Isaac added, “If you all determine that you would like a larger bed, please let me know, and I’ll get busy having one built for you right away. We can also remodel Nico’s old room for you to better accommodate three people. But we’ll talk about that later. Now… good night, loved ones.”

Nico thanked his pa and offered his hand to Eden. The three of them headed down the hall to their bedroom. As they walked, Matty said thoughtfully, “It’s interesting that they all presume to know we’ll be together permanently, even though we haven’t made it official in any way.”

“Oh, Matty,” Nico laughed. “They know us. There isn’t any other way we can live. ”

“Lucky me,” Eden sighed. “I had no idea what was in store when this handsome man plowed into me because he was trying to read a pamphlet and walk through a door at the same time.”

“That sounds like something Walter would do,” Matty observed.

Nico nodded sagely. Indeed it did.

Entering his room, Nico asked, “If they can’t find us a judge, what do the two of you want to do to get married?”

Eden smiled dreamily at him and answered, “Nico, dearest man, I am way too happy to worry about that right now, and I am dying to make love to you both. May we table that conversation for tomorrow?”

Both men looked at her hungrily. Matty nodded in agreement and Nico said, “Of course. Let’s get rid of all these clothes then, shall we?” They started with Eden. Four hands began to undress her carefully. When she could access them, she would undo a few buttons of a man’s shirt or trousers. In this way, they were all disrobed fairly quickly. Matty took a more active role in this process this time, Nico noticed. Perhaps he was getting closer to a commitment because he had fewer worries weighing him down. Or perhaps he was simply glad to see them after being separated for several days. Either way, Nico took it as a good sign.

Eden was the first to speak up when they all stood in the middle of the room with nothing on. She was between the two men, and they were both slowly kissing and fondling her. Clearing her throat, she asked, “Matty, have you ever done to Nico what he’s done to you?”

The men’s heads snapped up, and Nico looked a little surprised. Matty looked amused. “I have not, but if he’s willing, I would love to try it.”

“Well, that was one suggestion I had, but I also have another.”

“Our lady is full of ideas, it seems,” Nico whispered in her ear.

“Yes, but they are ideas you put there.”

“Even better,” he said with a laugh. “What is it?”

“Remember when you simulated what it might be like if Matty were inside of me at the same time as you? And you used your fingers to simulate him? I want that.”

Matty sucked in a deep breath. “Great plan, Nico,” he said and bent over to kiss Nico enthusiastically. When that was over, he asked, “May I do her backside?”

“Sure, but Eden, Matty is a lot bigger than my fingers, so we’ll go slowly and do this carefully.”

She gave an involuntary shiver. “I can’t wait,” she whispered.

“First, we’ll have to get you nice and relaxed, so lie back on the bed, and we’ll take turns feasting on that pretty clitoris of yours until you see stars.”

“Yes, please.”

“Then you can sit on my face, and I’ll keep driving you wild while Matty prepares that rosebud of yours for his big cock. This is going to be fun.”

After two lovely climaxes done exactly the way Nico suggested, Eden felt positively boneless. Moving into a new position, she continued to get oral pleasure from Nico while Matty was quite careful and thorough with her bottom. She loved every minute of it—as evidenced by her moans and groans.

After she shuddered her way through yet another ecstatic spasm, Nico directed her, “Slide down onto me… Ahh!” he moaned as his voice cracked. “You’ll have to wait a moment, Eden. Matty has my cock in his mouth and ohh… that feels so good.”

Matty chuckled with a mouth full of Nico as he swirled his tongue around and sucked. He popped off and drew Eden’s hips down Nico’s body. Holding firmly onto Nico’s cock, Matty guided her into position and helped her slide down onto him. “That is the most beautiful sight. I wish you could both see what I’m seeing right now,” he told them reverently. “Nico, you’re so hard and eager, and Eden, your hole is relaxed and ready for me. This is incredible.”

He watched them gyrate a moment as he happily greased up his own erection with olive oil. “Here I come, Eden. I hope you love this. If it’s too much, just say so.”

“Do it,” she commanded in a strangled voice. “Now! I need you, Matty!” Then she whispered, “I love you, Nico. You’ve given me something so few women will ever get to have.” Then she let out an enormous gasp as Matty’s big cock breached her for the first time. “Oh! Now you’ve both taken my virginity in different ways,” she giggled softly, but the giggles melted into panting and moaning as Matty started to prod and retreat rhythmically. “Oh this… this is… I don’t even know what to call it, but we need to do this over and over!”

“I can feel you, Matty,” groaned Nico. “Eden is right. This is incredible. I’m inside of the woman I love, and I’m rubbing against the man I love at the same time. This is perfection.” He squeezed his hand in between their bodies so he could manipulate her clit, delighting at the sight of Eden squirming and shuddering with bliss. She also began to squeeze and release him with her inner muscles until he couldn’t take the pleasure anymore. He let out a long moan as he poured what felt like his soul into her in hot, sticky spurts.

Matty couldn’t last long after he saw how excited Nico was. He began to pump harder into Eden, and as soon as her muscles clenched and her breathing altered, he let loose with the most incredible stream of cum he’d ever imagined. It was a transcendental experience. This was it. This was how he was meant to live. With these two people who loved each other so fiercely and still needed him to make themselves feel complete. “Oh my God, I love you two,” he moaned as he emptied himself into Eden’s body. He kissed her neck and shoulders and then craned around and kissed Nico deeply.

“Good to know, Matty,” Nico whispered with a satisfied grin.

Over the next few days, the how-to-do-it conversation went on and on. Nico, however, had to start work in Doc Louis’ clinic, so he wasn’t available for much of the discussion. That left the questions and planning to Eden and Matty.

The two of them made some interesting discoveries.
