Chapter Twenty-One

The Next Day

J o arrived on Arthurs doorstep much earlier than shed intended, but Bernard had appeared in her dining room along with breakfast. Unable to stomach a meal while pretending to be civil to the man, she had finished her cup of tea and announced she had somewhere to be. She stood and hurried upstairs to change her morning gown for a walking one before she gathered Matthew.

With her son in tow, she had walked toward Hyde Park before she hailed a hansom cab and directed the driver to Arthurs home. Once there, her nerves expanded in her stomach as she considered that neither man might wish to entangle themselves in her mess.

Unable to stand on the front stoop all morning, Jo finally knocked.

The door opened, and a butler appeared. Good morning. How may I be of service, my lady?

Her tongue felt thick in her mouth as she struggled for words. Any words. Good morning, Harris. Lady Whitestone, to see Lord Dunmere.

The man opened the door wide and stepped back. Please come in and I shall let Lord Dunmere know you are here.

Surprised by the alacrity with which he admitted her, she walked through the door, tugging Matthew behind her. How is your family, Harris?

Her question must have caught him off guard because his smooth, elegant step stuttered. They are well, my lady. My father is just recovering from a cold. Thank you for asking.

Im glad to hear he is doing better. Family is very important. Well, as long as one can stand to be around them.

She kept that last part to herself. Not everyone married into an insufferable family, nor were they born with parents such as hers. At least she had Becca.

He led her toward an open door off the foyer. Please take a seat in the salon. Would you like tea or perhaps something to nibble on?

Jos stomach rumbled loudly, causing Matthew to gasp.

Mummy!

Cheeks heating, she looked at the placid man and offered a slight smile. Tea and sandwiches would be lovely, thank you. We were a tad rushed at breakfast.

Very good, my lady. Harris bowed and left her and Matthew in the sun-drenched room.

A few moments later she heard heavy footsteps. The door burst open, admitting Arthur and Linc. She had obviously disturbed them at breakfast, or some other morning ritual because both men were in their shirtsleeves, no waistcoats or coats to be seen. And Linc was here? In Arthurs home? Were they living together so openly?

Jo! How delightful to see you, Arthur greeted her warmly as he crossed to where shed risen. I see youve brought your son with you. He pulled her into a hug before she could say or do anything. He then spoke low and urgent in her ear. Are you well? We were terribly worried when we left you yesterday.

Joy and a sense of warmth seeped through her at his concern. I am well, but couldnt abide the company I would have had to keep at breakfast this morning. She whispered her response, hoping to protect her son from her adult concerns.

As soon as Arthur stepped back, Linc swept in for a hug. You look lovely this morning.

Thank you. Her hands fluttered up to her cheeks to try to cool the twin flames that heated them. I apologize for dropping in unexpectedly.

Nonsense! Linc smiled warmly at her. I dont think weve formally met your companion.

This is my son, the Marquess of Whitestone. She gently took her son by his shoulders and nudged him forward. Matthew, this is the Earl of Dunmere and Baron Lincolnshire.

Hello. Her son greeted them shyly.

Its very nice to meet you, Lord Whitestone, Arthur said formally and bowed to the boy before ruining the whole display with a wink.

Matthew giggled and tucked his face into her skirts.

Well, I certainly hope you two plan to spend the day with us. If not, Linc and I shall be forced to do some very dreary grown up things instead.

Jo hesitated, hating to intrude on their entire day. I dont know. She bit her lip.

We were promised an outing to the park, if I remember correctly. And I believe there is a circus that has taken up residence in Hyde Park. They have a large tent with lions, and tigers, and bears!

Arthurs excitement was contagious and spilled over to her son. Mummy, may we please go?

Yes mummy, may we? Linc looked down at her, his eyes sparkling with mischief.

She laughed. Well, we wouldnt want to force these two into dull activities theyd rather avoid. So, yes. We shall go to Hyde Park and see the circus!

Linc carried Matthew in his arms ignoring the small pang of memories long past. The sweetness of the boy asleep reminded him of his late sistera memory he resolutely pushed asideas they returned to Arthurs townhouse. Theyd spent a delightful afternoon at the circus watching the little boy grin and laugh at each new animal or act that appeared in the center ring. Jo had smiled the entire time as well, which made his heart squeeze. She was still a beautiful woman, maybe more so now. Motherhood agreed with her, not to mention the changes it had wrought on her body. Her breasts were fuller now, her hips more rounded, and her arse had filled out. He had fallen for the Wood Sprite, but found himself just as enchanted by the lush woman they were rediscovering.

Inside the house, Jo reached for her son. I should get him home.

Arthur took one of her hands and turned it palm up as he planted a kiss in the center. Stay?

It was both a demand and a question, one that resonated with Linc as well.

I can have Nancy sit with him as he naps in the nursery. His dark gaze bore into her, revealing the need and desire he felt. Linc knew because an identical flame lived within him.

You have a nursery? Surprise colored her question.

Arthur smiled, a sultry grin which made Lincs cock take notice. He recognized the look as one redolent with erotic promise.

I do. Between my sisters child and the other of our groups children, it seemed reasonable to have a place for them to sleep when we all gather here. Will you stay? Arthur pressed another kiss to her palm.

Jo sighed softly as she watched his lips on her skin. Yes, she whispered on a gentle exhale.

Ill take him upstairs if youll send Nancy to me? Linc started up the stairs.

Shell be right up. Then you can find us in our room. Arthurs voice rumbled with desire.

Linc carried the boy into the nursery and had just tucked him in one of the small beds when their housemaid cum nursemaid, Nancy, appeared. Ive got him, my lord.

Very good, Nancy. Please let us know when he wakes up. Linc nodded and left her to her watch.

He slipped into their bedchamberhe and Arthur slept there most nightshiding in the shadows as he quietly closed the door. There he found Arthur and Jo in a passionate kiss, and hesitated. Were the dynamics shifting? Was he becoming extraneous?

Arthur looked up, breaking their kiss. Dont lurk there in the shadows, Linc. We need you.

Warmth filled his chest as Linc strode forward, and Jo turned into Arthurs arms as though shed been waiting for him to come. They both had.

With her body pressed to his, Linc sought out her mouth. Tentatively, Jo slid her tongue along the seam of his lips, seeking entrance. With a groan, Linc let her in and tangled his tongue with hers. She whimpered and melted into his body as Arthur worked on unhooking her bodice. As it loosened and gaped, Linc drew it down her arms, momentarily breaking their kiss.

Arthur unfastened her skirt and untied her petticoats, letting them puddle around her ankles. Linc unfastened her corset cover and peeled it off her arms as Arthur spun her around and took her mouth in another searing kiss, Linc continuing to work her laces loose on her corset. Finally peeling the restrictive layer free, they had her down to her pantalettes and chemise. Linc untied and let her drawers drop with the rest of the fabric puddled at her ankles.

Finally Arthur broke their kiss, grabbed her under her arms, and lifted her free as he spun her toward the bed. Linc began working free of his own clothes while Arthur peeled Jos chemise over her head and tossed it to the side. On the bed, love.

Jo crawled up and reached to remove one of her garters.

Leave them. Arthurs voice sounded almost rusty. He must have been as turned on as Linc was.

Gratefully naked, Linc joined her on the bed as they watched Arthur finish stripping. Linc had appreciated the changes in Arthurs physique himself, but turned his gaze to Jo to enjoy her reaction. Her green eyes glowed with appreciation. Previously they had been so swept up in their reunion; he doubted shed had a chance to truly appreciate the sight of Arthurs form. There was no doubt she was taking the time now.

Hes changed a lot since we were together all those years ago, Linc murmured softly, for her ears alone.

Oh, he has. How did I miss that fact the last time we were together? she asked. The husky timber of Jos voice sent shivers down Lincs spine.

Id say it was the fact that neither of us was willing to let go of you for longer than, say two seconds, once we got you naked. Linc grinned cheekily at her, then flicked one of her distended nipples.

Unwilling to wait longer, he leaned over and sucked the rosy tip into his mouth as she watched Arthur finish undressing. Jos soft moan of encouragement had his cock jerking in response as Arthur crawled on the bed. He quickly joined in, sucking her other nipple into his mouth. They continued licking and sucking at her breasts until a hand fisted Lincs hair and pulled him off. Then Arthur swooped in and kissed him, their tongues dueling for control almost from the start. He loved the rough way Arthur handled him and how it contrasted to Jos gentle touch.

When Arthur broke their kiss, Linc looked at Jo to find her eyes glassy and her breathing choppy.

My God, that is unbearably sexy. Her words came out in a breathy exhale.

Linc is an excellent kisser, isnt he? Arthur grinned at her.

He is, but watching you two devastates a womans senses.

Well, we cant have you completely devastated, not just yet, anyway. Linc winked at her.

Desire flickered over Arthurs face. Recline against the headboard.

Linc happily went, loving nothing more than when Arthur exerted his authority in bed. He leaned back against the padded headboard and stroked his cock.

Arthur helped Jo up to her knees. Now sweetheart, I want you to straddle his hips and sink down on his cock, but facing away from him.

Jo cocked her head curiously, but followed Arthurs directions. Being an arse-man, this was a favorite position of Lincs. Jos derrire wasnt overly large, but it was most certainly round and soft. He grabbed a cheek in each hand and watched as his cock slid into her tight little cunny from behind. He couldnt resist stroking a fingertip over the tight pucker of her rear entrance to stimulate the nerves found there, causing Jo to groan loudly.

Mmm. Very nice. Arthur was down between their spread legs, watching him slide inside of her. Then a jar of salve landed on the bed next to Linc. Feel free to play back there while I have a little fun here. Jo, your job is to ride his cock, no matter what either of us does to you.

Jos head tipped downward to where Arthur was. Yes, sir. Then she rose slowly on Lincs cock.

Fuck! Linc cursed as her heat sank back down on him. She lifted again, but this time her movement was jerky.

Oh, Arthur!

Jos exclamation was the only indicator Linc had of what was happening, since he couldnt see anything. But then, when just his tip was inside her entrance, he felt Arthurs tongue lick up the length of his cock which was exposed.

Good God, man! he groaned.

Dont you two stop, Arthur growled.

Y-Yes, sir, Jo replied as she sank back down onto Lincs cock.

Arthur continued licking at her pussy and Lincs quivering cock as she slid up and down his shaft. The sensations were incredible as his balls tightened. As a result, it was minutes later that he spotted the salve hed been given, though it was difficult to focus on that and not the pleasure Arthur was delivering with his tongue as they fucked.

Grabbing a dollop of the viscous lubricant, Linc pressed a warm digit against her sphincter again, this time sliding his finger inside her. As the heat of her backside engulfed his finger while her pussy surrounded his cock, Linc thought he might explode.

Do not come, Linc. Arthurs terse order had him pulling back on the orgasm he could feel rising up. Linc silently added a second finger to her backside, continuing to open her up, as Arthur continued, I plan to be inside her arse when we all come. But Jo, you may come if you need to.

She moaned in responseor perhaps it was because Arthur was back to using his tongue on them again. Oh God, ArthurLincits too much.

Arthur seemed to redouble his efforts, Linc gritting his jaw at the blissful sensations. He wasnt allowed to come .

Thats it, Jo. Come for us. Come on my cock and Arthurs tongue. Linc encouraged her, even as his own orgasm was growing harder to hold back. Then he added a third finger to her arse.

Yes! Dont stop, she cried out and began furiously pumping her hips on his shaft.

Arthur groaned and Linc could feel his tongue lapping at his cock and then his balls as her juices dribbled down. Fuck Arthur, if you dont stop, Im going to come.

She tastes so good on you. Do. Not. Come. Or there will be consequences, Arthur commanded.

But the bloody man continued lapping at Lincs sack and Jos pussy, based on her continuous moans and the twitches of her channel wrapped around Lincs cock. Fuck, I cant hold it!

Linc grabbed Jos hips and lifted her up just enough so he could slam into her from below. He pumped once, then again, and on the third time he came, pumping his seed up into her tight cunny.

To both their delighted surprise, Arthur kept licking at them as his load dribbled down his cock to join her juices, refusing to stop sucking and licking until Jo came once more, her body contracting around Lincs cock. Finally, she came down from her second high and Arthur let her climb off of Lincs lap.

Jo lay in a heap next to Linc, whose heart was still racing from the intense orgasm.

Arthur looked at him and shook his head. You disobeyed an order, Linc. Suspecting what was to come, Linc couldnt muster up any regretand he had guessed right. On all fours. Now.

Linc obediently rolled over and pushed up to his hands and knees.

Now, move between Jos legs. If she wishes it, you may lick her cunny while I spank you. Youve earned yourself 10 strokes.

Linc couldnt help but grin up at her as he got into position, but Jo shook her head.

Im much too sensitive right now, she murmured.

Very well then, Linc. Sounds like a spanking and no pussy for you. Arthur tried to sound stern, but Linc could hear the grin in his voice. Count until she lets you between her thighs.

Arthur rubbed his hand over Lincs arse, warming up the skin before the punishment. Lincs softened cock stirred at the touch.

Then the first spank landed and heat spread out over his left cheek.

One. The next one landed on his right side. Two.

The next came in quick succession and caused heat, quickly followed by pleasure, to radiate through Lincs body.

Three. Four.

Linc looked up to find Jo biting her lip as she watched the two of them. Desire shone in her green gaze and a quick glance down showed him she was turned on by the spanking.

Five.

Clearly unable to resist any longer, Jo grabbed Linc by his hair and tugged him down toward her wet pussy. Linc happily lapped up the length of her wet slit as the sixth and seventh spanks landed, sparking fire through him. He could taste himself mingled with her sweet-tart taste, and it only made his half-hard cock grow stiffer. Between the pleasurable spanking from Arthur and Jos wet pussy, he was going to be ready to sink inside her againor himin no time.

The rightness of the moment, being caught between the two people he loved most in the world, hit him hard. Harder than the eighth spank that landed across both his cheeks.

Mmmm, Linc, that feels so good. Jo tightened her grip on his hair as her breathing grew choppy.

The final two swats on his arse landed, bringing Lincs cock to full staff.

Arthur reached down and stroked his dripping, aching shaft. Not sure that was much of a punishment, but I am pleased with the results. He shifted around the bed and started kissing Jo as Linc continued licking her cunny.

Linc loved this, and as he imagined doing this with Arthurs cock embedded in her pussy, his orgasm surged to the fore. He immediately pulled off her clit, causing Jo to break her kiss with Arthur to complain.

But I was close, Linc. Dont stop, damn you!

Oh no, I want to feel you wrapped around my cock when you come the last time, Arthur growled.

Jo nodded enthusiastically at that notion. Oh yes, please.

Linc, lay down and let her straddle you. I want to be inside that hot, tight arse of hers.

Linc did as he was told, laying on his back as Jo straddled him and once again sank down on his cock. She felt so good wrapped around him. This time she leaned forward over him, allowing him to lick and suck on her delicious nipples as Arthur got into position behind her.

Her hole is already open a little from your fingers, Linc. Very nicely done. Arthurs approval was a buzz in the back of his head as Jo moaned. God, shes so tight. Ive got the tip inside her. Their lover continued to report his progress to them both.

Jo ground down on Lincs cock.

Hurry, Im close already, he groaned.

Hold on, almost there, Arthur gritted the words out as he pushed deeper into their womans tight rear entrance.

Linc could feel Arthurs cock sliding inside of her, inch by inch, through the membrane that separated them. It felt amazing to feel him inside of her at the same time.

Meanwhile, Jo panted through Arthurs intrusion. Oh God! Im so full of you two.

Ah! Arthur exclaimed in triumph as he was fully seated inside of her. Your arse is like a bloody oven, but its snug around my cock, Jo. More so with Lincs cock stuffed inside your sweet cunny. She moaned at his dirty words. Now were going to fuck you and fill you with cum, Arthur growled out and drew back, sliding out of her arse until just his tip was inside.

Linc waited, enjoying the feel of Arthurs cock sliding over his. Then, as Arthur pushed back inside her, he pulled out of her pussy.

Jo cried out. Bloody hell!

Arthur smiled at Linc as they continued to time their thrusts. Soon Jo was being stuffed full of cock in an alternating rhythm that ensured each of them enjoyed their shared connection. With every slide in or out of her cunny, he could feel Arthur sliding inside her arse. Their thick cocks rubbed over each other, again and again, their pace picking up.

Before long Jo moaned, Im coming!

Her body clamped down on both their cocks, squeezing and letting go with each powerful pulse of her orgasm. Linc gritted his teeth and held on through the delicious spasms. Then, with a nod from Arthur, they proceeded to pound into her body, every thrust timed to drag over Arthurs cock until they both panted.

Finally Linc cried out, Fuck! Yes!

His orgasm slammed into him, ripping up his spine from his balls to burst through his chest as he pulsed his load deep in her pussy. Arthur thrusted twice more then groaned as he too finished buried deep inside of their Jo.

They had certainly shared a woman since Jo, but none ever felt as right between them as she did.

Linc lay there with the pair of them draped over him and relished just how good it felt to be loved by these two people.
