‘For fuck’s sake,’ he muttered, and turned around, heading straight back into the bathroom. The shower started up again a moment later.
Maeve laughed again, the sound deep and satisfied. ‘This is so much fun.’
‘Ash. Ash.Ashton. Wake up.’
Something soft trailed down my chest. I groaned, fighting off sleep. Hair brushed over my belly; a tongue traced wet circles around my hip.
‘Will,’ I said hoarsely.
‘I’m going insane. I can’t stand you being so close when I can’t touch you. Can I?’
His fingers pushed the blanket down my thighs and found my hardening cock. ‘Mmm-es,’ I managed. I cleared my throat. ‘Yes. Please.Yes.’
‘Thank the green gods,’ he muttered. ‘Stay still.’
His lips closed around my swelling head. He sucked; I swore, my hips twitching of their own accord.
‘Staystill, Ashton,’ Maeve warned. Her voice was heavy with sleep and desire. She sat up. I could see her silhouette in the darkness; it must have been hours until the ship’s day cycle was due to begin. She pushed her hair from her face, her eyes on Willow as he stretched out between my legs.
His mouth came off me with a wetpop; he turned his attention to my shaft, working it up and down with his tongue then, once it was wet enough, with his hand, his fingers skirting around my burl.
‘Will,’ I said again, groaning.
‘He’s not allowed to come, Willow,’ Maeve said sharply, watching intently. She reached out and trailed her hand over my stomach. ‘That part is for me.’
‘Oh,green gods,’ Elswyth whispered from my other side, watching Willow’s movements. ‘That should be illegal.’
Maeve laughed. ‘Come here, beautiful.’
Elswyth hopped from the bed and crossed to the opposite side as Willow took up a slow, methodical attack of tantalising teasing, lavishing me with short, hard licks and small sucks, not enough to take me anywhere close to climax, but enough to make me almost painfully aroused.
Maeve arranged Elswyth on her lap facing me, her back against Maeve’s chest. The Hamadryad was wearing a sleeping shift and apparently nothing else; Maeve pushed her knees apart and began exploring unhurriedly between her legs. It was too dark for me to see anything in detail, but I watched Elswyth’s head fall back on Maeve’s shoulder, saw Maeve bite her lip, and I could hear the sounds as Elswyth grew wet and then wetter, and savour her tiny cries as Maeve began to work her faster.
Willow surged forward and took me fully down his throat.
My groan echoed off the walls. ‘If you don’t want me to come, that is not a good idea,’ I grated out.
His mouth slid off me with a wet sucking noise. ‘So soon?’
‘Fuck you, Will, I’ve been unconscious for months.’ I reached down and caught his chin, then drew him up for a kiss. He planted his arms either side of my head and took my mouth gently, careful not to jostle me. I ignored the stab of pain in my shoulder and chest and slid my arms around him, almost weeping at the slide of his skin on mine, at the hard press of his thick cock on my stomach. ‘Green gods, I’ve missed you.’
‘I love you,’ he whispered. ‘Don’t ever do that to me again.’
I kissed him as hard as I could manage, parting my lips to let him fuck his tongue into my mouth. I yielded before him, moaning when he rubbed his cock against me, seeking friction.
‘Oh,fuck,’ Elswyth sobbed, then cried out; I turned in time to see her shudder and slump back against Maeve, who murmured a handful of nonsense endearments and gave her a satisfied kiss.
‘We’re not done yet, beautiful,’ Maeve murmured. ‘Will, can you take her?’
Willow gave me a last possessive kiss, then rolled away from my body and scooped up Elswyth in one graceful movement, rubbing his cheek against her hair as he held her in his arms. He was entirely naked, so there was no way I couldn’t find the sight erotic, but it was more than that: the way he cradled her was tender, his embrace at once gentle and protective.
I rubbed my chest, over both my hearts.
‘Gorgeous, aren’t they?’ Maeve murmured to me, her voice admiring. She bent and kissed me, nipping at my bottom lip. ‘Now, you need to stay still, Ashton. If you start to move, I’ll stop.’
‘Stop what?’ I started, but my voice faltered as Maeve swung a leg over my hips and straddled my thighs.
She gave me a questioning look. ‘Yes or no?’
