Chapter 14

Katherine returned to lying next to him, wrapping her arms around his middle. He tilted her chin up to steal a kiss. Strange, really. If Gregory had ever thought of the need to marry, he would have chosen someone similar to Katherine. He and Edward were alike in their tastes.

When their kiss ended, Katherine stroked his stubbled jaw. “How did you sleep?”

“Well enough. ‘Twas more like passing out than falling asleep,” he said with a grin.

She looked past him to Edward, who still lay snoring softly. “‘Twould seem we wore him out.”

“I am sure we can persuade him to wake and join in.” Gregory’s hands encircled her waist and he lifted her up to straddle him. “In a moment.”

Katherine leaned forward, trailing her long dark hair across his bare chest. He parted her soft thighs and pushed up into her.

She gasped a little, shifting ever so slightly to adjust to his intrusion. She began to ride him slowly. This had always been Gregory’s favorite position with a woman. Come to think of it, he’d done it this way many times with male lovers as well. With a grunt, he pushed in deeper.

Next to them, Edward stirred. Gregory watched his lover rub a hand across his face, and then through his hair.

“Good morning,” Gregory called. He reached out to cup Katherine’s breasts, running his thumbs across her engorged nipples.

Edward turned over and faced them, his gaze still sleepy. “Good morning,” he murmured. His dark lashes lowered over his hazel eyes and, for a moment, Gregory thought he would drift back to sleep. But then they opened, more awake and infinitely more aware. A smile curved Edward’s sensual full mouth. Gregory’s heart nearly skipped a beat. The man was simply too beautiful.

Gregory gripped Katherine’s hips and slammed into her harder than he intended, but judging by the groan escaping her lips she didn’t mind. His gaze flew to Edward’s erect cock. Edward slid his hand up and down the length, rubbing the leaking fluid into the tip, and squeezing his ball sac while he watched them.

“Put your cock in my mouth,” Gregory said, hoping it came out sounding like an order. It must have, he decided, when Edward raised a noble brow. He chuckled. “Very well. Put your cock in my mouth, my lord.”

It was Gregory’s intention and desire to release into Katherine’s moist entrance at the same time Edward released into his mouth.

Shrugging, Edward inched over to him, stopping to place a swift kiss on Katherine’s lips. Putting his legs on either side of Gregory’s face, he straddled him, letting the head of his cock rub against Gregory’s lips.

He opened his mouth in invitation and Edward slipped his shaft in and down his throat. For a moment, Gregory’s gag reflexes kicked in and he nearly panicked, but Edward withdrew just a bit so he could get used to the long, thick cock in his mouth.

Edward braced himself by leaning his hands against the wall and therefore taking most of his weight off Gregory.

He pumped Katherine fast and hard while Edward pumped his mouth. It was incredible. He certainly wouldn’t last.

“God, Gregory,” Edward panted, thrusting madly.

His hand searched for and found Katherine’s pleasure bud. His thumb grazed it over and over. It didn’t take long. Her muscles clenched his cock as she writhed up and down on him, crying out her release.

Gregory’s balls pulled tight, and he emptied over and over into her, his whole body shaking with the power of his orgasm. Then, as though he had been waiting for the other two, Edward tensed and musky liquid filled Gregory’s mouth.

The other man withdrew immediately and leaned against the wall, breathing heavily.

Gregory lifted Katherine off with great care, laying her gently on the bed. His limbs were as weak as they would be if he’d run for miles or fought a great battle. But contentment such as he’d not known since his long ago days with Edward filled him.

When he could breathe normally again, he voiced the thought that had just entered his mind. “I will hate to leave this place.”

Katherine lifted her head and met Edward’s gaze. They both nodded.

Then Edward scooted down on the bed and pulled Gregory against him even while Katherine came to lie on the other side of Edward. He wrapped an arm around her.

“We would ask you to stay with us, if that is your desire,” Edward said softly.

Katherine added, “Yes, Gregory. Stay with us. You have no need to sell your sword any longer.”

“‘Tis true,” Edward said, pulling him closer to kiss him. “You have no obligations to anyone, no baron to serve. It would gladden both our hearts if you will remain here. As our own.”

For a moment, Gregory couldn’t speak. When first he’d received the messages to come to Edward’s castle for the tournament, he had not thought of a permanent arrangement. And yet…his heart had always belonged with this man. He had already come to care for Katherine a great deal, also. He knew if he stayed their affection for each other would grow deeply.

“Please,” Katherine said, her dark eyes pleading.

Edward was right. He had no obligations. No home to call his own. Until now. With them. Why would he want to be anywhere else?

“I’ll have to develop a lot more stamina if this is how we are to spend our days together.”

Edward’s breath caught. “Then…you will stay with us?”

Gregory smiled. Nay, he grinned. His happiness was overwhelming and he could almost swear there were tears in all their eyes. Ridiculous, of course.

“Aye. Let us make a life. The three of us together.”

“Together,” Edward and Katherine said as one.
