Page 43 of Complete Me

I add the chicken and rice to the pan, then cross the kitchen and gently take Xander’s face in my hands. “Thank you.” I press a soft kiss to his lips. “That means a lot, and I appreciate that you’re concerned for me.”

Xander loops an arm around my waist and leans into the kiss, only reluctantly allowing me to end it before things get too heated. His fair skin is a beautiful pink under his beard. “We’re both concerned. We only just got together again. You can’t jeopardize that by being stubborn.”

“Okay. I promise.” I turn around and place a hand on Kaino’s thigh and kiss them as well. “And thank you for pushing. I’m not the best patient, and even if I hate it, I appreciate that you call me on my bullshit. I know it’s because you care, and it means everything.”

Kaino places their hand over mine, their eyes sparkling mischievously. “I do care. And I promise you, Bjorn. I will always call you on your bullshit.”

Bjorn

By the time we’re finished with dinner and cleaned the kitchen, I’m feeling pleasantly full, ready to snuggle with Xander and Kaino, and maybe see where things go from there. “How about we go into the living room and sprawl on the comfy furniture? We’ll be able to all lie together in there.”

Xander presses against my back and nips gently at the shell of my ear. “I’d like that.” Okay, so he’s on the same page. Excellent. Kaino takes my outstretched hand and I slip the other hand into Xander’s then lead them both out of the kitchen, stopping just inside the living room door. “We can all fit comfortably on the sofa. Or…” I pause, unsure if it’s too soon to suggest an alternate location.

“Or?” Xander’s arm wraps around me as he presses his hard cock against my hip.

I squeeze his hand and glance at Kaino, whose comfort level is the main reason I’m hesitating. Xander wouldn’t have a problem stripping down in the middle of the kitchen, though he’d definitely prefer the comfort of a bed. But I don’t want Kaino to feel pressured into agreeing to something they aren’t ready for. “Or, we could go to my room, where there’s a California King bed and lots of space to move around.”

Xander nuzzles along my jaw. “I vote bed.”

I snort. “Yeah, I figured. But Kaino, if you’re not okay with that, we can stay down here.”

Still holding my hand, Kaino brings it to their lips and kisses my knuckles, their eyes locked on mine as they slowly back toward the entry. “I believe your room is this way.”

Fucking hell. I’d been excited, thinking we might fool around a bit on the couch and maybe even get each other off. And that still may be all we do. But it feels like there’s more weight to it when a bed is involved. “Yep. Top of the steps and to the left.”

There’s a gleam in Kaino’s eyes that I haven’t seen in a long, long time. “I remember.”

“Unless you want to take the elevator.”

Xander shakes his head. “Too slow.”

“Exactly.” Kaino leads us up the stairs, and if I had a free hand, I might consider pinching myself to make sure this isn’t a dream. It’s hotter than any dream I’ve ever had. Fuck, this could be hotter than any fantasy I’ve ever had. By the time we make it into my room, I’m vibrating with anticipation, and my cock is already hard. “Okay. Just ’cause we’re in a bedroom doesn’t mean there’s an expectation. We only go as far as is comfortable for each of us. Right?”

“Right.” Xander grabs a handful of my shirt and pulls it up to my armpits. Laughing, I lift my arms so he can haul it the rest of the way off.

Kaino rolls their eyes. “Subtle.”

“Seriously?” Xander raises an eyebrow at them. “Who’s going for subtle?” He reaches for the button on my jeans. “I want everyone naked. I’ve wanted that for longer than I care to think about.” He winks at Kaino. “The only reason I’m not tearing your clothes off is because I respect that you might not be into that.” When he turns his heated gaze on me, I’m surprised my clothes don’t burst into flames. “You, I know, are into that.”

I grab his wrist, stopping him, at least momentarily, from opening the front of my pants, and meet Kaino’s gaze. “Are you okay with this? You’ll let us know when we reach your limit. Right?”

Kaino nods. “I will. I promise. But, before we go any further, we need to discuss ground rules.” Xander groans in frustration but Kaino shoots him a look that has him quiet in seconds. “Good boy.” I can practically feel Xander shiver with pleasure, and I make a mental note and highlight it so I don’t forget just how much Xander likes praise. “For this encounter, everyone has free will. If I give you instructions, and you don’t want to comply, you don’t have to. But speak up. Understood?” Xander and I both nod, but that doesn’t seem to be enough for Kaino. “Please say yes or no, so we’re all on the same page.”

Xander and I both respond with yeses. “Also, if you decide at first to follow my instructions, but once you begin, you change your mind, stop and speak up. Alright?”

“Yes.”

“I’ll keep things fairly tame this time around. If we all enjoy the experience and want to try something like this again, we’ll have a discussion about likes and dislikes and what might improve the session.”

Xander grins and murmurs, “Session.” He nudges me gently. “Told you they’re a dom.”

Kaino’s lip twitches, but they don’t break a smile. “Xander, behave.” Xander’s eyes flick in Kaino’s direction, and they nod once. “Now, Bjorn, are there any hard nos for you? Things you absolutely do not want to happen?”

I look at him blankly, my brain suddenly unable to come up with a single thing, though I know I have hard nos. “Um…”

“Maybe it will help if I start with my own. My hard nos begin with bodily fluids. No spit, no excrement, no urine. Semen only if negotiated ahead of time, and never on my face. No impact or pain play. So no slapping, spanking, or pinching. No immobilization, even if it’s just your body weight. You both are much bigger than I am, and that would be a problem for me. Yes to kissing, yes to touching everywhere, yes to mutual masturbation or frotting. Rimming is a yes if discussed in advance. Good hygiene is a must, especially when oral sex is involved. Yes to penetrative sex if discussed ahead of time and the mood is right.”
