He cried out, wordless, and I thought for a second he’d gone, too, but if he had it was trapped under Jade’s body where I couldn’t see the mess we’d made of the red silk. I let the thought go and kept paying attention to Jade’s body, because once the orgasm started a woman could just keep going sometimes; nothing irritated me more than a man getting me to the orgasm and stopping before every last drop of pleasure was wrung from it. Until I tapped out, I didn’t want someone to stop on me, so I tried to offer Jade the same, but my grip on her thighs was an awkward hold to support an entire body while she writhed and bucked. I wasn’t sure I could keep sucking and change my hold, or keep doing it and not have her slide away from me on the other side of Nathaniel’s body. It was one of those real-world sex problems that no one ever thinks about when you plan the group sex.

Jason was suddenly on the bed, moving with that blur of speed the wereanimals were capable of, so that he caught Jade and moved her back onto the pillows. I was able to ease my death grip on Jade’s thighs and just concentrate on giving her as much orgasm as possible for as long as I could. It was the best one I’d ever managed to give her, and I wanted to make it last.

“God, you move so fast,” J.J. said, “I can’t wait to see what a choreographer could do with that kind of speed.”

I couldn’t see Jason’s face without moving, and I wasn’t going to do that, so I gave myself over to the woman at my mouth, under my hands. Her whole body started to shake continuously, and then a cry tore from her mouth. A cry of pleasure and release, and she collapsed boneless and motionless except for small twitches in one hand. If Jason hadn’t been there to catch her she would have slipped off the pillows again, but this time he had to hold her in place as if she were unconscious from the pleasure.

J.J. tapped my shoulder. “Enough, she’s done,” and she laughed.

I moved back from Jade’s body, my hands still on her thighs. I looked up to find Jason grinning down at me. I smiled back at him. He was cradling Jade in his arms in a way that she’d never allowed before, though she honestly might not know who was holding her right now.

J.J. gave me a one-armed hug. “That was awesome! You learn fast.”

“Being able to see and ask questions made a big difference.” I started to let go of Jade’s thighs, but looked up at Jason to make sure he wasn’t depending on my hold.

“I’ve got her,” he said.

I put a soft kiss on her inner thigh that made her twitch a little harder. When I rose up on my knees I could see her eyelids fluttering, not opening, but almost twitching like her hand. She was well and truly gone to her happy place. Yay, fucking, yay!

Domino said, “If I hold Jade, that frees Jason up to be with someone else.”

I looked at J.J. “He’s asking if you’re all right with it.”

“Sure,” she said.

He smiled and crawled across the bed and Nathaniel’s legs to take Jade from Jason.

“Please,” Nathaniel said, voice tight, almost hoarse, though he hadn’t screamed a single time.

I moved up to look into his face. His eyes were almost frantic. “Please, what?” I asked, smiling and stroking the side of his hair.

“Touch me,” he whispered.

“Touch you how?”

“Hand, mouth, pussy, don’t care.”

Domino said, “Are you saying when I move Jade, that . . . that you didn’t go?”

“Not yet,” Nathaniel said, in that strangely hoarse voice.

“Wow, just wow, no wonder Anita kept you.” He lifted Jade up, and Nathaniel was still long, straight, and so hard with need that he twitched involuntarily without anything touching him at all.

“I’ll second that, wow,” J.J. said.

“I’ll third it,” Jason said, and grinned. “I have good stamina, but Nathaniel puts me to shame when he wants to hold out.”

J.J. looked at Jason with wide eyes, and then back to Nathaniel, still tied and eager. “Well, um, that’s . . . impressive.”

Jason laughed.

Domino cuddled Jade to his chest. She was aware enough to curl in against him. Her eyes were open now, blinking heavy-lidded, and almost sleepy.

I stroked fingertips down that nearly vibrating hardness, the lightest of touches. Nathaniel cried out, body straining against the ropes.

“He won’t last much longer,” J.J. said.

“Don’t underestimate him,” I said.

She gave me a look. “Really?”

I nodded. “Really.”

She gave Nathaniel a speculative look.

“It’s okay,” Jason said, “he inspires me to be a better man.”

She frowned, clearly puzzled at Jason.

I said, “He means that when he and Nathaniel are having sex with me, he lasts longer out of competition.”

She turned back to me, eyes wide, and the beginnings of a smile quirking her lips. Her chin glinted dully in the light. We both needed to clean our faces, but first, I planned to get messier. No reason to clean up before I’d finished getting all dirty.

I started bending over Nathaniel’s body. His voice came almost strangled. “Oh, God, no, if you do that I’m not sure I’ll last.”

“Then don’t last,” I said.

“I want inside you.”

“You said hand, mouth, or pussy, you didn’t care which.” I smiled at him, and he would probably have called it my “I’m going to make you sorry for that” smile when I was topping him in the bedroom/dungeon.
