  “Worth it though?”

  “Worth it.”

  “Are you two talking about commuting?” Jesse asked in a teasing tone. He carried a platter of food and Kyle followed behind with drinks.

  “You and Kyle were talking about work,” Luka pointed out.

  “True.” Jesse glanced back at Kyle. “You okay to table the work for the rest of the night, babe?”

  “Absolutely,” Kyle said.

  “Excellent.” Jesse set a cheese and fruit platter on the coffee table where they could all reach it. “Please. Have a seat.” He sat and Cam settled down beside him. “Help yourself to anything you’d like.”

  Luka wondered if the double meaning had been intentional.

  He took a seat on the other side of the expansive sectional and Kyle passed out drinks. Kyle sat on Luka’s right at last, close enough so their hips and thighs touched. Luka sipped his cocktail and enjoyed the mellow warmth that flowed through him.

  “How do you like it?” Kyle asked.

  It took a second for Luka to understand Kyle meant the drink. “Oh, it’s very good. What clever name have you come up with for it?”

  “The Manhattan Foursome.” Kyle’s eyes gleamed with amusement.

  Luka clinked his glass against Kyle’s. “Here’s to enjoying more of that before the night is over.”

  “Hear, hear!” Jesse said with a grin.

  “What’s in it?” Cam asked.

  “It’s a twist on a Manhattan, with a touch of maple syrup and spices. I ran across a recipe for one with vanilla but that didn’t seem very appropriate for tonight.”

  They all laughed.

  “I do love the way you think, babe,” Jesse said. “Here’s to a very un-vanilla night.”

  Conversation segued into mundane topics like a new restaurant that had opened around the corner and a show Jesse and Cam had seen recently. The alcohol calmed Luka’s nerves and the friendly camaraderie put him at ease. He laughed a lot and enjoyed the food and company. He didn’t mind at all when Cam—who sat on his left—brushed his fingers against Luka’s as they both reached for a bite to eat.

  The conversation turned subtly flirtatious and Luka watched Jesse stroke Cam’s thigh. Luka’s stomach tightened when Cam leaned into his partner for a kiss.

  “Aren’t they incredible to watch?” Kyle murmured in his ear. Luka shivered at the warmth against his skin.

  “Yes.” Kyle pressed his lips against Luka’s neck, kissing his way down to the juncture of his shoulder. He slid a hand along Luka’s abs, slowly teasing as he worked toward his groin. Luka pulled away, just long enough to set his nearly empty glass down.

  Kyle gently bit down on Luka’s earlobe, and Luka let out a needy sound. Jesse broke away from Cam and looked over at Luka and Kyle.

  “What do you say we take this to the other room?”

  Without any further discussion, they all stood, abandoning the meal. Luka followed the other three past the kitchen and down the hall to the bedroom, which was large and minimally furnished. Unsurprisingly, the dominant feature was an enormous bed that left plenty of room for whatever four people wanted to do.

  An armless, upholstered chair also faced the bed, perfect for someone who wanted to watch.

  Luka paused near it and Jesse did too. He ran a hand up and down Luka’s arm. “Kyle said you wanted to start by just watching. Is that right?”

  “Yeah. For now,” Luka said.

  “Well then.” Jesse ran his hands over Luka’s chest, leaving heat in their wake. Not until Luka’s calves bumped against the edge of the chair did he realize Jesse had been guiding him backward. Jesse gripped Luka’s shoulders until Luka dropped into the chair.

  “Make yourself comfortable while we get started. And, please, feel free to join in any time you want.”

  “Will do.” Luka’s voice sounded a shade husky.

  They’d done next to nothing and already his cock had grown thick. Sexual tension charged the air, leaving him dizzy, and Luka was mesmerized by the look in Kyle’s eyes from across the room. Hunger. Kyle loved this. Frankly, so did Luka.

  “I have one question.” Jesse braced his hands on the chair back and leaned in, staring into Luka’s eyes. “Are you good with me kissing you? Because you have the most incredible mouth and I’ve been wondering how you would taste.”

  Rather than answer verbally—Luka didn’t know that he could at this point—he grasped the back of Jesse’s head and drew him in for a kiss.

  Luka’s nerves sang. Knowing he was kissing a man while their boyfriends watched was strange, but exciting, too. Jesse teased at the seam of Luka’s mouth with his tongue and, once Luka opened, dipped inside. Luka let go of the thread of worry and relaxed into the kiss. Jesse explored Luka’s mouth with an unhurried thoroughness that made Luka’s stomach clench with anticipation of what might follow.

  Jesse drew back and ran the pad of his thumb across Luka’s lower lip. “Mmm. Every bit as good as I hoped.”

  He left Luka still reeling when he turned and walked toward Cam. With a small, private smile just for Luka, Kyle turned to Cam and Jesse, too.

  Luka watched Kyle kiss Cam, his fascination and arousal growing by the second. Then Kyle and Jesse kissed, the need between them palpable, and their sure touches speaking of the times they’d done this in the past. Kyle unbuttoned Jesse’s shirt while Cam tugged Kyle’s belt loose from his pants. All three kissed and caressed each other as they undressed, and when they were nude, Luka’s cock throbbed at the sight they made. They were all so beautiful in such different ways.

  Abruptly, Luka felt overdressed. Fingers shaking, he unbuttoned his shirt and shrugged out of it. His cock ached and while he wanted to touch himself, another part of him wanted to hold off and draw out the feeling.

  He stifled a gasp as Kyle dropped to his knees in front of Jesse and took Jesse’s cock in his mouth. Jesse reached out to stroke Kyle face. Kyle glanced at Luka, just a brief look out of the corner of his eye, but it warmed Luka. Even amid all this, Kyle thought to check in with him.

  Luka rubbed his palm across his throbbing cock. He unzipped his pants, pulling himself out to lie hard and thick along his thigh. He wanted Kyle to know he was enjoying the show. Cam walked past Kyle and stood behind Jesse, his appreciative gaze trailing across Luka’s body.

  Cam kissed Jesse’s shoulder, then reached around to stroke his chest and abs. Luka could hear the wet sounds of Kyle’s mouth on Jesse’s dick and Jesse’s soft, answering moans.

  Cam whispered in Jesse’s ear. Jesse shifted, placing one knee on the bed without displacing Kyle. Cam kneeled on the bed behind Jesse, then grasped Jesse’s ass cheeks in his hands, parting them.

  Fuck, that’s hot. Lust made Luka dizzy as he watched Kyle and Cam work together, one sucking Jesse’s cock and the other rimming him. Luka wondered how Jesse could take all that sensation. He felt overwhelmed just watching. To be on the receiving end would be mind-blowing.

  Luka couldn’t wait another second to take his dick in his hand. Pre-cum slicked its head and Luka spread it around with his thumb, hissing at the touch on the sensitive area.

  Jesse’s abs tensed and relaxed, his whole body shuddering before he stilled Kyle and Cam with a hand to each of their heads. “You’re going to have to stop unless you want me to be done right now.” A sheen of sweat covered his forehead and shoulders and his voice sounded a little hoarse.

  Cam and Kyle pulled back and stood. Kyle and Jesse kissed for a few minutes, hands roaming each other’s bodies. Luka felt a twinge then. Not of jealousy, but a desire to touch Kyle himself.

  Luka held himself back. He’d watched his share of gay porn over the years, but seeing it unfold live in front of him was hugely arousing. More so than he’d ever imagined.

  Kyle gripped Jesse’s hips. “It’s been a long while since I fucked you, babe. You up for it?” His voice held a needy note.

  “Yes. Cam did such a great job getting me ready it seems a shame to waste his hard work.”

&
nbsp; Jesse turned and grabbed Cam, pulling him in for a searing kiss. “You good with Kyle fucking me?” he asked when he pulled back.

  “I’d love to watch that.” Cam’s voice was husky. He glanced at Kyle. “Just promise to give it to him good.”

  “Happily.”

  Once again, Kyle looked over to check in with Luka, who nodded. He wondered if Kyle would like to fuck him occasionally. Luka would have to ask him at some point. Luka also wondered if he’d have been so comfortable watching Jesse or Cam fuck Kyle. Probably. Luka thought so. Kyle fucking Jesse though? That Luka wanted to see.

  Jesse and Kyle settled on the bed, perpendicular to Luka’s chair. Cam brought lube and condoms, and Jesse stroked Cam’s dick as Kyle dribbled lube on his fingers. Kyle worked one into Jesse’s ass while Cam and Jesse kissed, pausing only for the occasional gasp that escaped Jesse’s mouth, presumably when Kyle hit a good spot.

  “Mmm, God,” Jesse groaned.

  “Ready for me?” Kyle asked.

  “Just fuck me,” Jesse said with a growl. “I want to feel it.”

  Kyle reached for a condom. Watching him roll it on was arousing, too, and Luka wondered how much more he could take before he joined them.

  Kyle made Jesse gasp, and Luka’s stomach tightened as Kyle pushed into Jesse.

  “Fuck,” Kyle said, voice rough. “You feel good, Jes.”

  He grasped Jesse’s hips, his strokes slow and measured at first. Luka stroked his cock in time with Kyle’s rhythm until it was almost as though Luka was fucking Jesse, too.

  Cam caught Luka’s eye. “Fuck. I love watching them.”

  Silent, Luka nodded and kept slowly stroking. Cam licked his lips, and Luka sped up a bit, putting on a show of his own. Cam stood then and moved toward him, a question in his eyes. Luka crooked a finger at him in response, and when he opened his thighs wider, he was hampered by his jeans.

  “Need some help getting out of those clothes?” Cam asked.

  “Please.”

  Cam stripped Luka quickly, and Luka settled back in the chair, holding his dick up and out in offering to Cam. With a naughty half-grin, Cam sank to his knees and wrapped his hand around Luka. He followed with his mouth and Luka lost himself in that warm heat. Gently, he grasped the back of Cam’s neck, urging him on.

  Even so, Luka was torn between watching Cam work him over and Kyle plunge his cock in and out of Jesse.

  Mine, Luka thought with an appreciative sigh. Kyle was his. No matter who Kyle fucked. No matter who sucked Luka’s dick. Luka could feel the connection to Kyle tugging at him, even when they weren’t touching.

  Luka grasped the back of Cam’s ginger head, stilling his movements. Cam glanced up, clearly concerned, and Luka smiled to reassure him. “Let’s move this to the bed.”

  Luka stood and gave Cam a hand up before they walked over to the bed. The mattress dipped as Luka knelt beside Jesse’s hip and Kyle’s gaze flared hot. He reached for Luka and drew him in for a sizzling kiss.

  The air smelled of sex and clean sweat, masculine and full of heat. Blindly, Luka reached out, stroking down the length of Jesse’s back to where he and Kyle were joined. Jesse moaned when Luka teased Jesse’s rim. Luka gently grasped Kyle’s dick at the base and squeezed a little, making Kyle groan.

  “It’s so hot watching you fuck him,” Luka murmured against his mouth.

  “Yeah?” Kyle asked as he drew back. “You like that?”

  “You promised me live-action porn,” Luka teased. “But this is so much better.”

  “I loved the glimpse I got of Cam sucking you.” Kyle reached down, stroking Luka’s cock with a deft, sure rhythm.

  Kyle moved his hips again, slowly fucking Jesse, eyelids heavy and his face slack with pleasure. Luka glanced over and found Cam on his back while Jesse sucked his cock. Christ. It was total sensory overload and Luka could hardly stand it. He wanted to bury his dick in someone until he came.

  “What if I told you I want to fuck someone?” Luka asked Kyle, his voice gruff.

  Jesse lifted his head. “If you’re looking for a volunteer…”

  Kyle slapped his hip lightly. “I’m not enough, huh?”

  “Fuck that.” Jesse shivered. “I’m the only one who hasn’t gotten a chance to enjoy your man yet though. I thought tonight was about sharing.”

  Kyle turned his focus on Luka. “You want to?”

  “You don’t have to ask me twice,” Luka said. He’d worried this would be awkward or uncomfortable, but he found it surprisingly easy. Everything with Kyle was easy. Jesse and Cam made it fun, too, and because they were all so open and relaxed about everything, they put Luka at ease.

  Luka licked his lips as Kyle withdrew from Jesse. He grabbed a condom for Luka and made the ordinary action of rolling it onto Luka scorching hot with his gentle teasing. In the background, Luka could hear the wet sounds of Jesse sucking Cam’s dick and Cam’s soft noises of pleasure. Luka gritted his teeth to hold it together. The sights, sounds and sensations around him threatened to do him in.

  At last, Kyle drew back, and Luka placed a hand on Jessie’s hip. “You ready for me?”

  Jesse pulled off Cam. “Yes.”

  His hand shaking, Luka grasped his dick. Gratitude surged through him when Kyle wrapped his fingers around Luka’s, too, and together they guided Luka’s cock forward. Luka didn’t waste any time, pushing into Jesse with slow, steady pressure until he was buried deep.

  Jesse sighed. “Oh, fuck. That’s good.”

  For a few minutes, Kyle stayed pressed against Luka. Luka set up a steady pace, and Kyle roamed his hands over Luka’s body, tweaking Luka’s nipples and reaching from behind to gently tug at Luka’s balls. Luka threw his head back and his eyes rolled back in his head at the combined sensation.

  “Kyle.”

  Jesse felt different than Kyle, of course. That was exciting, but knowing Kyle was there with Luka, feeling him as they both enjoyed themselves, sent a flood of pleasure through Luka.

  Kyle whispered in his ear, “You keep going. I’m gonna fuck Cam.”

  Luka let out a low moan. He couldn’t wait to see that.

  Kyle held out a hand to Cam and helped him up, then he lay next to Jesse while Cam crawled over Kyle. Kyle and Cam kissed messily, both clearly too turned on for much finesse, and Luka almost closed his eyes at their hungry sounds. After a minute, Kyle pulled back and reached for another condom.

  “Are you ready to ride me, Cam?” Kyle asked.

  Cam pushed back onto his knees and nodded, his jaw slightly ajar. “Yeah, babe.”

  He straddled Kyle and Luka watched as Cam sank down. Kyle’s face drew tight with concentration before smoothing out. The muscles of Cam’s thighs tightened and relaxed as he rose up and down over Kyle, Kyle’s hands on his hips. Cam moved with an eager, athletic grace that Luka found beautiful. And Luka didn’t feel the slightest hint of jealousy.

  Luka closed his eyes, afraid he’d come before he was ready. He focused on Jesse’s sounds and movements, speeding up when Jesse grunted, and reached down and under to grasp Jesse’s cock and stroke him. Luka opened his eyes and found Jesse had lowered his head until his cheek rested on his hands, his head turned toward Kyle and Cam.

  Kyle pressed his leg against Luka’s and the contact and heat from his body anchored Luka further.

  Still rocking over Kyle, Cam reached out too, and ran a hand across Luka’s back and ass. Cam leaned over, nipping at Luka’s neck with his teeth. He teased his fingers between Luka’s cheeks and when he rubbed across Luka’s rim, Luka groaned.

  “You okay with this?” Cam asked quietly.

  Mute, Luka nodded. He was so good. With all of it.

  Luka heard the squelch of lube, then Cam’s cool, deft finger explored his ass and pushed inside. It was hard to concentrate and keep the rhythm going while being pulled in two directions. His balls ached and he fought back the rising urge to fuck as hard as he could until he was spent. Luka needed to come. He didn’t feel ready to stop, however.r />
  Kyle shifted and turned his head so he could kiss Jesse. Luka imagined he could feel the energy grow between all four of them.

  All of them connected.

  A tremor shook Jesse’s body, and Luka noticed he’d let go of Jesse’s cock. He reached under Jesse’s body again and found Jesse’s hand already wrapped around his own cock. Luka encircled it with his, helping Jesse along. A few short strokes later, Jesse came with a gasp, his ass clenching around Luka. His cum shot onto the sheets below and Luka’s own balls drew up tight.

  Lights sparkled on the edge of Luka’s vision as Kyle broke away from Jesse. Kyle met Luka’s gaze and something passed between them, a deeper energy than anything Luka had with Jesse or Cam. A spark maybe. It caught and tindered inside Luka, heating him from the center out.

  I love him, Luka thought, shocked by the sudden and intense urge to say the words aloud. He couldn’t deny it. Sure, he was balls-deep in Jesse, but all he could see was Kyle. Blindly, Luka reached out and grasped Kyle’s hand. The physical connection sent him soaring, and in just a few more short strokes, Luka came with a roar.

  Cam removed his finger and turned back to Kyle. He sped up, riding Kyle harder, and their groans filled the air as Luka withdrew from Jesse. A few moments later, Kyle cried out, digging his fingers into Cam’s hips. Cam jerked his cock hard and threw his head back, shuddering as he painted Kyle’s chest and abs.

  Luka fell forward on the bed next to Kyle, head spinning, and Jesse sprawled on his stomach on Luka’s left. Jesse leaned in and kissed Luka. It felt warm, friendly, like a ‘thank you,’ and Luka smiled against Jesse’s lips. Kyle snuggled closer, dozy and seeking touch as he often did after orgasm. Luka wrapped an arm around him, and Kyle pressed his lips to Luka’s shoulder.

  Cam stripped the condoms from Kyle and Luka before disposing of them in the trash beside the bed. He disappeared into the bathroom and returned with damp cloths.

  “You guys are fucking beautiful,” Cam said, looking down at them as they cleaned up. He settled on Jesse’s far side so Luka and Jesse were now in the middle of the foursome.

  “Mmmhmm. So glad you decided to join us, Luka,” Jesse slurred as he and Cam twined their bodies together.
