Chapter 45

CHARLIE

CHARLIE COULDN'T get naked fast enough.

He'd been on-edge all day, seeing his Sky so tense. It didn't help that he was anxious all on his own, being away from his familiar surroundings and routine. He wanted his laptop. And his books. He'd brought a couple, but he needed more. And his coffee mug! He wanted that, too, because he liked it better than the ones Ward had. Plus, Ward's neighborhood was noisy. And the bathroom had the wrong layout. And the kitchen! Everything in there was cramped, boxes and bags of junk food all jammed together and in the wrong spots. Charlie didn't like that. It all made him itchy and uncomfortable.

To top it all off, his body still wasn't used to missing sex time in the mornings. Granted, he could have simply hidden away in the bathroom and taken care of it himself, but each time he considered that, he found himself waiting instead.

It was so much better with his Sky and Ward.

But now that Skylar had finally gotten his test results, they could try new things. Things Charlie had been craving for days. He was still surprised how much he'd enjoyed having Ward's penis in his mouth. It shouldn't have felt good, but it did. Really did. He didn't like the taste of the condom--that was icky—but now they could do it without that barrier in the way.

His Sky had warned him he might not like the taste of Ward's body fluids, though. That gave him pause.

Still, he wanted to try.

They got through a shower, kissing and groping one another all the while. Charlie's penis was so hard! Ward's was, too. Charlie couldn't help touching it. He liked the way it made Ward groan and gasp, then curse and tremble. And he liked playing with the foreskin, rolling it forward and back. His own penis was the same, but there was something intriguing about touching Ward's instead.

As soon as they were all dry and made it to the bedroom, Charlie got down on his knees and reached for Ward. “ Hhng! ”

The big man muttered a curse and bent down to give him a kiss.

Charlie moaned. He loved Ward's kisses. The man had a way of utterly taking control so that Charlie didn't have to think or decide anything. All he had to do was give in and follow. Enjoy the feelings.

Ward turned and kissed Skylar next.

Charlie stared at them. He loved watching them kiss almost as much as he loved being kissed himself. There wasn't even any jealousy anymore. That was all gone. Seeing Ward and his Sky made him happy in a way he couldn't put into words.

Ward gently pushed Skylar to his knees.

Skylar sank down at Charlie's side, reaching up to touch Ward. “Give him your cock, Daddy,” he said breathlessly. “I wanna see.”

Ward brushed a hand down Skylar's cheek, then turned to Charlie. He held his penis steady in front of Charlie's face, then used the other hand to gently grab Charlie's chin. “Slow as you want, little mouse,” he murmured. “And if you don't like it, we'll stop.”

Charlie eyed Ward's penis. A drop of fluid shone at the tip. Charlie paused. What if he didn't like the taste? What if it was worse than a condom?

He glanced at his Sky, who stared at it with a sort of open hunger. Maybe even desperation. But why?

Charlie pointed at him.

His Sky's expression quieted. “Okay.” He gave Charlie a kiss, just a soft press of his lips, then turned and moved in close to Ward's penis. Skylar stuck out his tongue and made a show of slowly licking the drop of fluid off the tip. His eyes drifted shut, and he let out a shuddering breath. Skylar paused there, looking up at Ward. Even from the side, Charlie saw how intense his gaze was. Then his Sky leaned forward and gave Ward's penis a lingering kiss on the tip. Skylar whimpered, but the sound cut off when he took the head of Ward's penis into his mouth.

Charlie tensed when his Sky went still. Did Skylar not like it? The moment stretched, and a tear ran down Skylar's cheek. “ Hhnn! ” Charlie reached for him, trying to pull him away.

“I'm okay!” Skylar insisted after releasing Ward's penis, grabbing Charlie's hands instead. “I'm okay.”

Pain? Charlie signed as soon as his hands were free.

“No.” Skylar sniffed. “No, I'm…” He trailed off, wiping his eyes. “I'm sorry. No. I'm just so fucking happy.” When Charlie scowled at him in confusion, Skylar laughed. “I've just waited so long for this. I wanted to be able to do this with you right from the start, but it wasn't safe for you. I couldn't let anything happen to you. Same with Ward,” he added, looking up at the man. “But now? Jeebus criminy, this is intense. Getting to have you bare. Having nothing between us. Fuck, I can't wait to have my surgery.”

Oh . Charlie's gaze wandered from his Sky to Ward and back. His Sky was having big, loud feelings. No wonder there were tears. And once Skylar had his surgery? Charlie and Ward would be allowed to put their naked penises inside him. They'd get to feel him without the barrier of a condom in the way.

They'd get to ejaculate inside him.

Charlie had to grab his own penis, clamping down hard. He wasn't ready to finish. Not yet. But just the thought of finishing inside his Sky—of leaving his semen behind in his Sky's body—was enough to push him right to the edge.

Skylar reached up and grabbed Ward's penis, slowly stroking it, dragging the foreskin up and back. Another drop of fluid grew at the tip. “Here, Charlie. Why don't you try?”

Charlie considered it. His Sky hadn't been disgusted by it, so maybe it was okay. And when he considered having something of Ward inside his body, just like he'd get to leave something of himself inside his Sky? Charlie shuddered and moaned.

He leaned in slowly and stuck out his tongue, catching the fluid. Charlie pulled his tongue back into his mouth and paused there, thinking. The taste wasn't awful, but it wasn't great, either. Kind of salty, in a way. It was certainly better than the taste and texture of the condom, though. He decided that his desire to have Ward's penis in his mouth was stronger than his dislike of the sensory input, so he opened his mouth and sank down onto the head.

Ward cursed. When Charlie looked up at him, the man's eyes were dark. Ward's lips were parted and his gaze was intense.

Charlie really liked that look.

He bobbed his head on Ward's penis, getting used to the taste and texture of it. It really wasn't that bad at all. And he really liked having it in his mouth, especially without the condom. He still didn't know why, but the pleasure drove the confusion away for the moment.

Beside him, his Sky leaned in and mouthed at Ward's testicles. Charlie couldn't take nearly as much of Ward's penis as his Sky could manage, so there was room for Skylar to lick and kiss what he couldn't reach, putting their mouths close together.

Charlie moaned. He really liked that.

He pulled off to take a breath, and his Sky took over. Skylar kept his movements shallow, giving Charlie room to move in and also participate in the way Skylar had been doing. He mouthed at the side of the shaft, moaning every time his Sky's lips brushed his own.

They took turns, sharing Ward's penis between them. Ward's breathing grew heavier. The man curled his fingers in Charlie's hair, then did the same with Skylar. Charlie moaned. Ward didn't pull on their heads or thrust into their mouths, but simply held them like that. Somehow, it made Charlie feel even more wanted. Ward could have easily taken over and used them. The man was certainly strong enough. Yet all he did was stand there and touch them, keeping them connected, looking at them like they were the most precious things in the world.

Ward gasped. “I'm gonna come.”

Skylar pulled off of Ward's penis as the man took himself in hand. “Stick out your tongue,” Skylar gasped, pressing close to Charlie so their cheeks touched. Skylar stuck out his own tongue, so Charlie did the same.

The first shot of semen landed on his lips. Charlie gave a start. Before he could decide how he felt, the next one landed on his Sky, making Skylar moan. More semen came out as Ward gasped and cursed. By the time he was done, it was all over their mouths.

Skylar turned and consumed Charlie in a heated kiss. He licked every bit of semen off of Charlie's face and kissed him again, sharing it with him. Despite the wet feeling on his skin, Charlie found himself moaning and kissing Skylar back.

Ward sank down in front of them and pulled them close as he claimed Charlie's mouth for himself. The man thrust his tongue past Charlie's lips, then planted kisses all over Charlie's face, in all the places where his semen had landed.

Charlie gasped, overwhelmed with the sense of being treasured and taken care of.

He watched as Ward did the same with his Sky, kissing him and cleaning him up all at once. Ward let out a sigh and pulled them even closer, all their foreheads resting together. “That was amazing,” the man whispered.

Charlie couldn't help smiling at that.

“Your turn,” Skylar murmured before pressing a kiss to Charlie's cheek. Skylar got up, pulling Charlie along with him.

“You, too, kitten,” Ward said, his voice a husky murmur.

Skylar moaned, pushing Charlie towards the foot of the bed. Charlie stood there, glancing from his Sky to Ward and back, not fully sure what was going on. Skylar told Charlie to stay, then climbed up onto the bed, lying down on his back at an angle across one corner. He tipped his head back off the end of the bed so it hung upside-down, then grabbed Charlie's penis and guided it to his mouth.

Charlie cried out. Oh! His Sky's mouth was warm and wet, and Skylar did things with his tongue that made Charlie's knees go weak. And not having a condom in the way? Charlie moaned. It was good. It was so incredibly good.

Ward knelt by the adjacent side of the bed and shoved Skylar's legs apart. Charlie couldn't help staring as Ward leaned in and ran his tongue up along Skylar's genitals. He watched, fascinated, as Ward mouthed and sucked and kissed, then fluttered and swirled his tongue all over, making his Sky buck and writhe and moan.

Charlie suddenly wanted to try it.

But then his Sky took him deep, and all thought fled. He looked down, watching his penis disappear inside his Sky's mouth. Skylar moaned around him, adding to the sensations.

It was too much! Too good.

After he finished—ejaculating right into Skylar's mouth, watching him swallow every bit of it—Charlie had to curl up and hide under the blankets for several minutes, overwhelmed with sensation. It was all he could do to get up and eat dinner afterwards despite being hungry.

Sleep was difficult that night. Charlie felt utterly wrung out. On-edge. Everything felt so loud. And the actual noises from outside made things even worse. Charlie whimpered at the sound of every passing car. At the loud rumble of exhaust as a truck got onto the freeway. At the slamming of a door in a neighboring apartment.

When he woke up the next morning, he felt even worse. Everything just kept getting louder. He wanted to go home!

But Ward had to go to work, so he couldn't take Charlie home. Charlie texted his parents, but they couldn't come get him right away, either. It was days before any arrangements could be made. Finally, on Saturday morning, Charlie got to climb into Ward's truck for the long drive north.

He hated leaving his Sky behind. But Skylar didn't want to go anywhere near the city. His poor Sky nearly had a panic attack at the prospect, even while trying to make himself get into the truck to go with them. In the end, Charlie said goodbye to him at the front door, then had to make sure his Sky was locked safely in the apartment before they left.

The drive was silent. Ward tried to put on some music, but Charlie wouldn't allow it. The extra noise was too much. He was barely keeping it together as it was.

When they arrived, Charlie's entire body flooded with relief at the familiar sight. Ward came inside to talk to Charlie's parents, but Charlie rushed right off to his room to unpack, not wanting to listen to the chatter when he was still so tense.

But then he had to say goodbye to Ward. That was hard. He didn't want Ward to leave. But he also needed Ward to get back home so that his Sky wouldn't be alone.

He made Ward promise, over and over, not to touch his phone, then finally gave the man a hug and a kiss and watched him drive away.

Charlie went back to his room. Back to his familiar space. His bed. His laptop. His books. He'd missed all of it. Missed the comfort and reliability of it all. Slowly but surely, he felt his body begin to settle.

But as he lay down to sleep that night, all he wanted was to go right back. To have Ward and his Sky beside him. His bed felt so small. So cold. So empty.

Damn it. Why did this have to be so hard?
