28. Chapter Twenty-Six

Chapter Twenty-Six

T he little shit had challenged him. Ulises had never been so bold before but maybe this was how Ulises was when he was hurt and angry. And damned if it wasn't cute.

"Don't expect it to work every time." Izzy tilted Ulises’ head to the side. "Open his pants, Todd."

"Yes, Daddy." Todd was a good boy. He was the best boy Izzy had ever had, and that included Ulises. At least in the sense that Todd obeyed every order. But then Izzy hadn't pissed him off yet.

Ulises bit his lip, sucking in a breath. "What are you going to do?"

"Prove it. You'll probably come. And if you come in your pants, you’ll be annoyed that they're dirty." Izzy's little warlock didn't like feeling dirty.

"It won't annoy me if you make me come." Ulises' brown eyes were bigger than normal. Sometimes he looked like a sad puppy. Izzy's instinct to protect him had always been there, partially for that reason. But Ulises wasn't sad at the moment. He looked shocked and maybe a little turned-on.

Ulises' eyes widened even more, and his gaze went to Todd when he fished his cock out of his pants and held it. Ulises shut his eyes as he moaned. "Not annoyed."

Izzy chuckled. "No. That's because your cock is free."

Todd was the one who initiated the kiss, but it was Ulises who deepened it. Ulises turned desperate as if a touch was all he wanted. Someone to make him feel good. That was how it seemed at first. But the whimpers told a different story about wanting more than someone's touch. Ulises wanted someone to care about him while they touched him.

Maybe Izzy was slow on the uptake. He hadn't realized what Ulises had needed.

Shit. You're a selfish asshole.

Izzy hadn't been interested in Ulises' needs. Only his own. He had been so far into his own trauma he hadn't paid attention to the things that mattered the most.

He'd always thought Daruss had gone soft when he’d mated Jude and Raylee. Almost upon completing their bond Daruss had announced his intention to stop most of the illegal things that made the club money.

Izzy was starting to understand where Daruss had come from with his boys. Izzy had never held down a legitimate job in his life, but he'd start if it meant keeping his boys safe. They mattered most, like Jude and Raylee mattered more to Daruss than continuing to put himself and them in danger.

"Look at me, boy." Izzy's voice shook when he spoke. He couldn't keep the emotion out even when he whispered.

Todd and Ulises' gazes snapped toward him. Since he hadn't specified who he was talking to they both obeyed. Their lips were red from kissing, and they looked debauched with Todd's hand around Ulises' cock.

This would be the rest of his life if he played his cards right. He had to convince Ulises first.

"I'm going to love you forever. Both of you." He made sure he met Todd's gaze as well as Ulises’.

Ulises was too far gone to take in his words but that was okay. Izzy planned on saying it again. It would be part of his aftercare routine.

"I'm going to prove it now." First with Ulises and then with Todd.

Izzy tilted Ulises' head to the side and then pulled him closer. He kissed the spot where he intended to bite. Ulises' scent was stronger on his neck, more concentrated. He smelled like vanilla and lemon. It wasn't the scent most warlocks had.

"It'll sting a little at first."

"I want to feel it, Daddy."

"Sweet boy." Izzy licked across the spot before sinking his teeth into Ulises. His blood tasted like his scent.

Ulises cried out with pleasure. Izzy felt some of it too. His cock hardened. His jeans were restrictive, but Izzy was grateful he was still clothed. He wanted to draw out his own pleasure. He intended to take his boys through more than one orgasm. They would go all day and part of the night. They were just getting started.

The more he drank the more he needed to touch Ulises. His hand gravitated to Ulises’ denim-clad ass. The memory of how good being inside Ulises had been fueled the fire. His cock strained to be free, becoming almost painful.

The possessiveness hit Izzy all at once, slamming into him as if it were a baseball hitting him in the solar plexus. He growled. His instinct was to lay Ulises down and fuck him. He saw the scene in his mind.

It took him a moment to realize the fantasy wasn't his own. He seemed to share it with Ulises, as though they were having the same dream.

Mine. My love.

Ulises fucked into Todd's hand and against Izzy's chest. He sucked in a breath right before wet warmth soaked Izzy’s shirt. His ass muscles flexed. Ulises moaned.

Izzy ended the bite, licking across the wound, and held Ulises close while he came down from his orgasm.

The bond wasn’t complete, but it was already stronger than Izzy expected. It scared him a bit to feel so much for someone but he wouldn't change it. In fact, he would complete the bond before the night was over.

Izzy kissed into Ulises’ hair and held him.

He wrapped his free arm around Todd, wanting him close too. "Mine."

"Me too, right?" Poor baby felt left out. Todd snuggled into them. Izzy knew from experience that Ulises liked to cuddle but Todd doubled down on it whenever he had an opening.

"I meant both of you." Izzy kissed his temple. "You'll be next. Just a bite for now, though."

One more bite would make him desperate to fuck, but he wanted to draw their lovemaking out. For the first time in his life, he didn't want to fuck to get off. He wanted to make sure his boys knew how much he wanted to be with them.

He'd spent far too much time dancing around his fear, pushing it down by fucking every guy who would let him. Was he terrified by his newfound courage? Absolutely, but letting Ulises and Todd go scared him even more. Losing them in any way scared him. Izzy would make sure his boys stayed safe.

But first he had to complete the bond.

"I can feel you in my mind." Ulises worked his hand under Izzy's T-shirt. All he did was touch Izzy's abdomen. It was as if he needed skin-on-skin contact. "Your emotions."

"I can feel yours too." And one thing came through more than anything else—all Ulises wanted was to be loved. He thought it was na?ve to think anyone would love someone so broken.

Izzy tightened his hold and pushed all the love he felt at Ulises. "You're so strong, baby. Stronger than anyone I've ever known. Greater than, not less than. Never less."

Ulises met Izzy's gaze. "You mean that."

"You know I do. You can feel it." Izzy rested his hand over Ulises’ heart.

Ulises put his hand on Izzy's chest over his heart and then the other hand on Todd's chest. "You don't think I'm less than either, right?"

Todd shook his head. "I think you're brave. Like how you just let the doctor give you drugs."

Ulises walked into battle every day, knowing one day he could die. The tumor was an enemy living inside his body.

Ulises kissed them. They each received a peck before Ulise focused on Todd. He turned on Izzy's lap and then tugged on Todd's shirt. "I need to leave my bonding mark on you before Daddy bites you."

Todd didn't question it. He pulled his shirt off before going to his knees and facing Ulises. "Pants off too?"

A warlock's mark was more like a tattoo.

"Take them off, boy." Izzy needed to take charge. His boys needed direction.

Todd stood and pushed his pants and underwear off. He had a lean body. His skin was pale but not in an unhealthy way. It was his genetics. He probably burned after only a few minutes in the sun.

"Turn around." Izzy wanted to see all of him.

Ulises licked his lips. "That's a good idea."

Izzy chuckled but his humor died when Todd turned. His ass had the perfect amount of swell to it. It wasn't quite a bubble butt but close enough to make Izzy's blood heat. "I want inside."

"Me too." Ulises saying he wanted to top came as a surprise. But they could make that happen.

Todd ran a hand down the swell of one cheek before bending at the waist.

Izzy growled. "Oooh, the boy knows he's hot."

Todd chuckled. "Yeah."

Ulises stood and wrapped an arm around Todd's waist, hugging him from behind. They were about the same height, so Ulises’ softened cock pressed against Todd's ass. "Do you want to bond with me?" He whispered in Todd's ear.

Todd nodded.

"He needs to hear you say it, boy." Izzy didn't want to interrupt their moment, but they needed him. He hadn't known he'd like watching and probably wouldn't have if it wasn't his boys. But there was a softness to the moment Izzy didn't know he needed to experience.

He wasn't sure if there was love between Todd and Ulises but if not then it hung in the air above them like a blanket getting ready to cover them. Izzy didn't know he needed to see them together until they were pressed against each other.

"I want to bond with you. More than anything." Todd took Ulises' hand and held it to his lips, kissing it before holding it to his chest.

"Let's take this to the bedroom." They might stand there forever, holding each other. Not that there was anything wrong with that, but the bonding would help assure them of the other's intent.

Izzy stood but waited for his boys to head for the bedroom first.

Todd didn't let go of Ulises' hand.

Izzy watched Todd's ass flex as he walked. Walking behind him was Izzy's favorite perspective.

"Lay on the bed, Todd. On your back."

Todd brought Ulises’ hand to his lips, kissing his palm before following Izzy’s orders.

Izzy had to get control. He tried but then Ulises met his gaze with his big, puppy eyes, looking to Izzy for direction. "Get undressed, boy. All the way naked."

Izzy pulled his vest and shirt off before undoing the button on his jeans. He sat in the chair in the corner of the room. He had the best view of them together.

He wasn't the only one who wanted to watch.

Todd propped himself up on his elbows as he watched Ulises get undressed.

Ulises seemed oblivious to the fact he was the center of attention until he had his shirt off and his pants down to his thighs. It was as he bent that he noticed Todd first. He gave him a shy smile before glancing at Izzy. His cheeks turned a pretty pink, but he finished taking off his pants.

"I don't look like either of you." Ulises held his pants to his chest. He still wore his underwear, although they were red bikinis that hugged his sweet little ass, leaving nothing to the imagination.

"You're little and sweet and I want you to fuck me." Todd pulled his legs back, exposing his hole.

"None of us are alike. It makes us compatible." Izzy liked the fact that they were all different. Ulises was thin and waifish. Todd was leanly muscled. And Izzy was bigger than both of them combined. He was tall. His muscular body came easy, as it did with most dragon shifters. He'd never worked for it, although shifting to his dragon and then flying took a tremendous amount of energy. That alone probably built muscle. But the truth was Izzy was standard for a dragon shifter. Nothing special.

Todd and Ulises, in their individual way, were the unique ones.

"You're gorgeous, baby. I've always thought so." Izzy met his gaze. When Ulises’ brows furrowed as if he thought Izzy lied, Izzy pointed to his own head. "Look in and see."

Izzy could feel Ulises probing in his mind. Once he found what he was searching for, his presence became distant and then he smiled. Dropping his pants and ran into Izzy's arms. "Thank you."

"Hey, I said it first. Plus, you're leaving me hanging here. Do you know how long it's been since I've been fucked so good it left me all melty and gooey. Get over here and make me feel wanted." One good thing about Todd was he wasn't shy about telling them what he needed. Not like Ulises who wasn't comfortable with his own neediness.

Ulises kissed Izzy, keeping it brief, and stood.

Izzy patted him on the ass as he turned. "Make him feel good, boy."

"I will, Daddy." Ulises shook his ass at Izzy as if teasing him with it.

Izzy chuckled. "Good boy."

Ulises shivered, liking the praise.

When he crawled onto the bed, he lay over Todd. One good thing about being so small, Ulises didn't have to worry about crushing anyone.

He cupped Todd's cheek and pressed their foreheads together. "It's been all about me this whole time. And you've had a lot of patience."

Todd grinned. "Now I get a reward in the form of a good fuck. Is that what you're trying to tell me?"

Ulises chuckled.

"Touch him," Izzy instructed.

He ran his hand down Todd's side and then worked his hand between them, taking Todd's cock in hand.

Todd sucked in a breath and then moaned.

"I was trying to explain how your needs matter too. You know that, right?"

"Oh god." Todd panted when Ulises began jacking him off slowly.

"Answer him, boy."

Todd sucked in a breath as if he needed air to speak. "Y-yes."

"Good boy." Izzy palmed his dick through his jeans as he watched them together. He had to remember to direct them. "Do you want something inside you?"

Todd nodded.

"Use your words, boy."

"Yes. Please."

"Good boy. Keep begging for it."

"Please. I need." Todd sucked in a breath. Ulises must’ve been doing something different. Maybe rolling his balls.

"Put on a show for Daddy." Izzy unzipped his pants and then stood, taking them off before sitting down again. He pushed his boxer briefs out of the way and freed his cock.

Ulises sat up, moving to Todd's side. He opened the nightstand drawer and grabbed lube and condoms. "Most paranormals can't get diseases and stuff, but I'm susceptible because of my tumors. But I'm clean, okay."

Todd nodded. "I am too. I've been tested since being here. At the clinic. I have the results if you need to see them. You can fuck me bare if you want."

Ulises hesitated but he put the box back into the nightstand drawer. "I've never fucked anyone bare before."

Todd moaned. "That's so hot."

Ulises chuckled as put lube on his fingers. "I'm a far cry from a virgin."

"But sort of, though. So sweet and innocent."

Ulises raised an eyebrow and then stuck his finger inside, making Todd moan loud enough for the neighbors to hear. "Innocent, huh? That's very cute, Todd."

Yeah, Todd had pegged Ulises wrong. That was for sure. But Izzy wouldn't correct him. He'd let Todd figure it out on his own. It would be amusing to watch. Either that or a train wreck. Izzy was willing to chance it.

Todd arched into Ulises’s thrusts. Ulises must have curled his finger, rubbing his prostate.

"Add another finger." Izzy had to stop stroking his cock if he wanted to hold off a bit longer.

"Yes, Daddy." Ulises added another finger.

Todd met him thrust for thrust. "Oh God. Please let him fuck me now."

Ulises leaned down, whispering in Todd's ear. He kissed him first. "It's making love."

Izzy smiled and cleared the emotion from his voice before he spoke. "Peg his prostate with your cock. Make him happy, baby."

Ulises met his gaze before he glanced at Izzy's cock. He licked his lips. "Yes, Daddy."

"Can you find the right angle? Or do you need help?"

"I can do it, Daddy."

"Good boy." Izzy nodded to Todd. "Get inside him then and let me see."

Todd whimpered when Ulises removed his fingers. He coated his cock in lube before lining up at Todd's entrance. He lay over him once he was inside before lacing their fingers together.

Pressing in was slow-going but it was the way Ulises liked it.

"Don't look away from each other." Izzy's voice sounded raw with emotion and thick with lust. He wanted to fuck Ulises’ sweet little hole. He saw it peeking between his cheeks as he pushed inside. But Izzy would get his turn as soon as they bonded with each other. Ulises needed to bond with them first.

Ulises moaned as he picked up the pace.

Todd kissed Ulises, licking across his lips. The kiss was wet and sloppy and spoke more of how desperate he was to come.

"You feel so good." Ulises said when the kiss ended. The need to breathe outweighed the urge to kiss.

"So do you. I'm gonna come soon."

Ulises' thrusts were faster. He was growing tired though. Between the cold he was getting over and the effects of the tumor, he didn't have as much stamina as he would have without those obstacles.

"Do you have more in you, boy?"

Ulises knew what Izzy asked. He held up his finger and thumb to say he had a little.

"Lay on your back, Ulises." Ulises whimpered when he pulled out of Todd and lay down.

Todd scrambled to get up. He didn't have to be told to straddle Ulises. He was so desperate to come he worked on instinct. He held Ulises’ cock up and sank onto it. When he moved, he set a quick pace.

"Yeah," Todd let out the word on a breathy whisper.

Ulises hissed.

"Don't come until I tell you." He was talking to both of them.

They must have known it because they both answered at the same time. "Yes, Daddy."

And then Todd begged. "Can I? Please."

"Don't stop, boy." They were so pretty together. Izzy stopped stroking himself so he wouldn’t come.

Todd shook his head. He whimpered as if he were in pain. "I-I can't…can't hold back."

"Not yet." Izzy wasn't done watching his back muscles flex as he fucked himself. He wanted to see more of it.

Ulises hissed again. He tried to hold Todd in place to keep him from moving, trying to hold back, but Todd kept going.

"Daddy said not to stop." Todd braced himself on Ulises’ chest. He slowed a bit.

"Daddy. Please." Ulises begged.

Izzy had never heard it before, but he wanted more.

"No." Izzy knew he was pushing them to their limit, but he wanted them to defy him. The orgasm would be so much better if he made them hold off for as long as they could.

Ulises reached for Todd's cock, pinching the base, trying to help Todd hold back. It was sweet of him.

"Let him go, boy." Izzy voice sounded horse.

As soon as Ulises let him go he placed his hand on Todd's chest. He didn't leave a mark. Not yet at any rate. He knew it would ignite the orgasm if he did.

"Mark him."

"Daddy." The one word held the best sort of protest. It would have made Izzy come if he didn't have a grip on his orgasm.

"Mark him, boy."

Ulises chanted something under his breath in a language Izzy didn't understand.

Todd cried out. He picked up his pace as his cock spilled all over Ulises’ abdomen.

Ulises' eyes widened and then he shut them. He held Todd at the waist with his free hand and fucked into him. "Todd!"

Izzy let his own cock go, jacking himself a couple of times and came into his hand. He'd be able to get it up again later. No problem. And his boys needed a breather anyway.

Todd collapsed on Ulises. He nuzzled into Ulises, kissing his jaw and then his cheek. "You’re inside me."

"So good." Ulises sounded so tired.

"I meant in my head. But also in my ass still." Todd chuckled.

"That's good too. All of it." Ulises rubbed Todd's back and then he whispered. Ulises rubbed Todd's ass cheek next. "I like touching you."

"I like touching you too."

They spoke to each other as if he weren’t in the room. Izzy didn't mind. It gave him a glimpse of how they would be when they were together.

Izzy went into the bathroom and washed his hands before washing the few drizzles of cum off his cock. He listened to their conversation as he got a washcloth and towel for them. His world had quieted. His heart settled into the realization that he had made the right decision by choosing them. For the first time in a long time, he could breathe again.
