Dancing with the Dragon Chapter 36: Make a Move by Tripp Savidge

• Scene 1 *

"Bryan all settled?" Garrett asked.

"Yeah, he's in pretty good shape. Just a bit overwhelmed from all the people in his head. I don't know about you, but I'm starving." Skye picked up his jacket from earlier and pulled it on.

"I like you better uncovered."

"I have no idea who's still up and about and even though Pater isn't here to give me the look I'm sure the servants will report it if I go about naked in the hallways."

Garrett glanced down at the display he pulled up on his bio-comm. "Yeah, it is still pretty early. But that also means you may be able to get some real food." Garrett quickly pulled on his clothes and joined Skye as they headed back downstairs.

They heard the others in the grand parlor long before reaching the room. Skye noted that most of his wing were spread out in various clusters about the room, including his grandparents.

"Thought you two retired for the night," Charlie said as he stood and walked over to hug Skye.

"I got hungry."

"Sorry, but I think we polished off the snacks they put out." Charlie gave a guilty look at the empty plates on the side table.

"I got this." Feired seemed to appear from nowhere and gave Skye a wink as he left the room.

You don't have to, Skye mentally called after Feired.

I gotta earn my bonus points somehow. If I were on top of my game, I'd have realized you'd be down after working up an appetite. Should we send a plate up to Bryan's room? Or is he not conscious?

Probably wouldn't hurt and he's awake.

You're slipping boss, Feired teased.

Skye turned back to find both his grandfather and his mate had moved off and were now in a conversation with Nancy. Colonel Bianchi caught his eye and gave a nod before standing. As he approached, Venci and River joined him.

"Guess we have a change of plans?" Bianchi said.

"Yeah, what do you guys know?" Skye asked.

"Got word from command that I was to escort your grandparents back to Capital City tomorrow. I'm to deliver them personally to the Palace and then report to His Majesty for additional instructions."

Skye was struck again with how handsome the Colonel was. His black hair with just a touch of silver at the temples, dark golden skin, and stylish, short-cropped beard. Skye also remembered from watching the man change into his flight suit that he had a very nice, fit body under his clothes.

"I believe they're sending a shuttle for the rest of us. Venci, have you received anything?"

"I guess you could say that. I got a very cryptic message in my box with no record of a sender. But it was signed 'Teak.' Mean anything to you?"

"Not really, what did it say?" Sorry, Venci. I'd rather not say out loud. Teak's one of us. He's been working with Prince Argos's agents. Skye could feel River laughing in his head.

That's scary, Venci sent.

Yeah, what did he say in his message? Skye pulled River into the mental conversation with Venci.

He said that he'd prioritized some invitations I needed to consider and flagged some contacts for me. And... at the end of the note, he wrote 'enjoyed your bonding by the way.'

Just can't escape it big brother, River sent.

Skye felt the blood rush to his face. Um, yeah... so he's bonded to me as well and just like you got a sense of what happened with Bryan...

Fuck, that's hot.

Isn't it though? Some of them get you so worked up you just gotta go grab your mate and pound him into the bed, River added.

Why do I expect that Nik doesn't mind? Venci said.

Since he's usually as turned on as me, works out pretty nicely.

Okay, not exactly the response I was expecting. Teak's a fairy by the way, Skye explained.

A fairy? Damn, but you do get around.

River burst out laughing.

"That is not funny," Skye said tersely, realizing too late that he'd spoken out loud.

Venci responded with an ear to ear grin. So is he hot? I didn't think male fairies usually went for other guys.

He is, and he seemed to be rather into it at the time.

I want to meet him.

Don't we all, Venci? Don't we all, River added.

I'm sure you will, Skye sent mentally before speaking aloud. "So, Venci, did you check out the suggestions?" He felt Garrett before he heard him and then his mate was pressed up against his back wrapping his arms around him.

"Yes. Already working on it. When we arrive in Caris, we'll be staying in one of the premier resorts. They specialize in accommodations for the rich and famous who need security and privacy. You've accepted an invitation to a grand reopening for a rather famous dinner club. Reservations are sold out two years in advance so I'm assuming we've bumped someone who will be very disappointed."

"That sounds sort of cool. You sure we'll get in?"

Venci raised an eyebrow and then looked at Garrett. "He doesn't get it, does he?"

"Nah. He's new at this prince thing."

"Skye, you and your brother, are bond-mates to Royalty and now 'Royal' in your own right, and I can pretty much guarantee they will trip over themselves to make sure your experience is phenomenal. Not to mention you'll be bringing mister gorgeous and his brother here as arm decorations. Do you realize what you being there will do for their publicity? By the day after tomorrow reservations will be four years out."

"Oh." Skye turned to look at Garrett who just gave him a nod and smiled.

"I'm still following up on the other 'suggestions' but more of the same. You're going to be making some promotions people very happy. I'll need to enlist Dillon's help and work with Mica because most of these events are very public. So we can expect lots of paparazzi, screaming fans, and maybe some crazies. You'll need to dress the part and have appropriate escorts at all times."

"You can handle that, right?" Skye asked feeling a little nervous. This was definitely not something he'd ever done before or even considered. Strange but rescuing Rilien and fighting bad guys seemed less intimidating.

"Of course. River and Mica can help with who is best to escort based on the venue."

"And don't worry, Prince Skye. I'll take good care of Charlie and Nancy," Bianchi assured him.

"Thanks." Skye wished there was a way to discreetly encourage Bianchi to not hold back with his grandfather, but he couldn't think of how. Maybe just let nature take its course. If they're meant to be lovers, it will happen without my help. Right dragon?

'Agreed. But if they take too long, we can help things along... later,' the dragon's voice purred in his mind.

"Food," Feired called out as he set a huge tray on the table beside Skye.

Skye accepted a plate from Feired and began filling it from a surprising number of options. Hot hor's d'oeuvres, desserts, cheeses, and little sandwiches. "I'm impressed."

"Wish I could take credit. The chef had it all prepared and just needed to heat up a few things." Feired took one of the dessert pastries and popped it in his mouth.

"Thank you all the same."

"No problem, I like taking care of you." Feired gave a shy smile and headed off to join the others.

"I don't deserve this."

"Sure you do. You're always watching out for them. Why can't they do things for you?" Garrett took one of the warm pastries and put it in Skye's mouth, then closed in and kissed him.

"Mmmm." Skye murmured as he wrapped himself around his mate. I love you.

Love you too.

"You two can be really sappy," River said.

"Oh, like you and Nik aren't. You guys can't keep your hands off of each other. Where is Nik by the way?"

"He went to get ready. Which is where I'm headed now." River did an exaggerated eyebrow wink.

"You're worse than me!" Skye said and then grabbed River's shoulder as he was about to leave. Seriously though, are you okay? Something feels different - on edge - tingly even.

Horny as all hell. Maybe it's the change and all. I just can't seem to get enough. I've been trying to be with only Nik... I don't know Skye. I'm not sure he's up to it. I think I'm wearing him out. He wanted to rest up. That's why he went to the room.

Far be it from me to throw stones if you want to hook up with one of the other guys. I know they'd be willing as long as you and Nik are good with it.

I may have to. Does it ever feel like your dragon is going to claw his way out of your insides?

At times... especially if I'm not doing what he wants.

He wants sex, Skye. Lots and lots of sex and while I'm worried about 'who,' he is most definitely not.

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

River hugged Skye and bumped foreheads. "We got each other's back, right?"

"Yeah, bro."

"Sir?" Leesai had joined them and stood at attention.

"Hey, Leesai." Skye said looking up to meet the Felician's eyes as he saw River leave.

"I understand we'll be moving out tomorrow, sir. Is that correct?"

"Yes. A shuttle will come tomorrow to take us to Caris. I don't know much more than that. The kidnappers said they'll send another message in five days. For the next few days I guess we pretend to be tourists."

"We'll get him back, sir." Leesai glanced to the side and shuffled a little.

"Was there something else?" Skye asked.

"These new feelings and thoughts from the others. I... I find them disconcerting, sir."

"I'm sorry. It takes a while to adjust but I think it will get better."

"It's just... so... intimate, sir." Leesai barely whispered the last words.

"I can ask Kwill if there is a way to teach you how to shield or perhaps quiet the thoughts. I don't know if you can or not."

"I'd appreciate it, sir. Thank you." Leesai gave a brief bow and left.

"What do you think that was about?" Garrett asked.

Skye couldn't help but laugh. "Um, I'm guessing with so many males thinking sexy thoughts it's putting her in heat. While I don't think any of them are thinking about her, or even females, her body doesn't know the difference."

"You got all that from 'intimate?'"

"No, I got that from her other thoughts that she didn't put into words and also the smell. You didn't notice?"

"No. What smell?"

"Female in heat smell? You know, wet, um... ready?"

"Ew."

"Yes, Garrett. Ew." Skye put his head on Garrett's shoulder and took a deep breath. Maybe I should be thankful he couldn't smell it and wasn't interested.

"Here, this will distract you." Garrett slid another flaky pastry into Skye's mouth. "So you think River's okay?"

Skye gave a little moan of pleasure. It was delicious - then he held Garrett's hand to his lips and licked the crumbs from the fingertips before sucking two fingers into his mouth. He looked up into Garrett's eyes as he worshiped the digits with his tongue. "Damn, but you are so sexy, and yes, I think he's okay. Going through the change ramped up my needs, don't know that we should be surprised it's hitting River the same way. And as gorgeous as Nik is, he's not as good as you."

Garrett smiled. "Careful, babe. Sweet talk like that will give me a swelled head."

"Mmmm." Skye stepped in closer to Garrett and cupped his crotch with his hand, finding Garrett's erection and gently tracing it with his finger until he reached the head and gave a squeeze.

"I like giving you a swelled head. It goes in so much nicer that way."

Garrett's pupils dilated, and he let out a low growl as he captured Skye's mouth. Fuck. You drive me crazy. Garrett broke the kiss, and they both gasped for breath. You better find Jayce soon, or I may fuck you here and now.

Skye rubbed against Garrett and brushed his lips gently over Garrett's. Skye felt his arousal spiking and took a deep breath, realizing it wasn't just his own. He turned and saw most of the men in the room were openly staring at him and Garrett. Okay... um... well better take a step back then. Much as I really want Garrett to fuck me right now. Orgy. Yeah, not ready for that.

"What is it?" Garrett asked putting his fingers to Skye's chin and pulling him back into his gaze.

"Can't you feel it?"

"All I can think about right now is getting you naked and fucking," Garrett said in a low growl as he kissed Skye again.

Yeah, you and pretty much every wing-mate in this room. I'm not signing up for a group thing and given what I'm picking up from them - that is most definitely how things would go.

"So..." Garrett gripped Skye's ass and ground himself into his mate as he continued the kiss.

Garrett. Orgy. NO. Please... you gotta ease up. I can't fight you when... Oh god. Skye felt like his body was melting. Garrett's mouth was devouring him, and his hands were doing things to his ass that made it hard to even think.

"Sorry," Garrett whispered as he released Skye's lips. "I don't think you realize what you do to me. But I don't want you freaking out. We'll save it for Jayce."

Skye buried his head in Garrett's neck and breathed deeply, trying to get his mind and body back under control. "Thank you. The lust in this room is almost overwhelming."

"I love you, Skye. Why don't you go find a spot to sit, and I'll get more food."

Skye did a quick scan and saw there was room next to Gilian and Dillon. "Mind if I join you?"

"Of course not." Dillon scooted over and patted the couch.

"Everything okay, you both look rather serious?"

"No matter how hard I try, we can't seem to completely escape the Fae Court," Gilian said.

"That, and Gil's really freaked out at how horny you make her," Dillon offered.

"Dillon!" Gilian gasped.

"It's true, and you might as well put it out there, he can read our minds anyway. She's a little overwhelmed with how much lust the guys all put off when they're near you, and she really wants you to fuck her."

"Just kill me. Really Dil? You had to tell him?"

"Wait. I thought you said you had no interest in me?" Skye asked remembering standing embarrassed and naked before the elf in Underhill.

"I lied."

Skye blushed and realized it was still probably a lot for her to take in. "I'm sorry Gilian, I swear I'm not doing it on purpose and you have nothing to fear from me. I would never push myself on anyone. I've been on the other side of that, and got the scars."

Dillon put his hand on Skye's thigh and slid it up to his crotch as he spoke. "Skye, I don't want you to be confused so in case you had doubts, my ass, my body... yours. Whenever you want it. Open invitation. We clear?"

Skye took a deep breath and then grabbed the back of Dillon's head and pulled him into a kiss. "Got it. And when you need me, or Garrett, you tell us. No waiting for us to make a move."

"What he said," Garrett added as he came and sat on the floor between Skye's legs then held up a plate with more food.

"You weren't kidding," Gilian said as she sat back into the corner of the couch and pulled her feet up, wrapping her arms around her knees.

"No, sis."

"Kidding about what?" Garrett asked as he handed the plate to Skye then pulled Dillon down into his lap.

"He said he wasn't 'just' a valet. That you treated him like family."

"Well of course." Garrett hugged Dillon into him and began kissing his neck and ears.

"He's more than family Gilian. He's a wing-mate and our lover. While I hope to one day find his true mate for him, until then Garrett and I want him with us. I know being bonded to the wing and not being a dragon feels strange and awkward."

"That's an understatement," Gilian grumbled.

"It does have benefits. Dragons may be a lot more casual about sex than others, but you don't have to participate. They've still got your back and will watch out for you like family. Yes, they'll know what you're thinking at times and sense your emotions, but you'll get the same from them. Please give it time. I'm sure Kwill will help you adjust as well."

"So you're not freaked out that I keep thinking about what it would be like to 'be' with you?"

Skye gave a nervous laugh. "Yes, I'm freaked out. Probably not for the reasons you think. I'm still adjusting to having these stunning men look at me the way they do," Skye said waving his arm to take in the wing- mates around the room. "While I always assumed I'd prefer women - yeah... not so much. So far my experience with women has not been good - actually, pretty awful, given that my only intimacy was under compulsion and was pretty much rape. So yeah, I'm freaked because whenever I think about being with a woman, I get a panic attack and flashback to a very unpleasant experience."

"I'm sorry. I didn't know."

"Skye was raped repeatedly by a vampire - it almost killed him," Garrett said as he wrapped his arm around Skye's leg and hugged him.

"Forget I ever said anything," Gilian said in a soft voice.

"No. Your feelings are real. I didn't want you to think it was about 'you.' There's nothing wrong with you or how attractive you are. I'm just not ready for that. But if you want intimacy, any of your wing-mates will give you more pleasure than anyone else could hope to achieve. It's not as strong as a true bond-mate, but it's more. You'll also know that it's sincere - if they're attracted to you, you'll know. You can't lie to each other or be deceptive. Won't work."

"Maybe..."

"Skye's not saying to rush into it, just be aware that when you're ready, you have options." Garrett wrapped his arms tightly around Dillon and began caressing him as they sat together.

"So what happened in the Fae Court?" Skye asked.

"I received a communication from Lady Telawynn. She wants to meet with Dillon and me next time we're in Capital City. Seems she's taken up partial residence at the Palace to help smooth things over."

"Cool. I'd like to see her again," Skye said remembering how comfortable he felt around Lady Telawynn - or rather how he felt around her alternate persona Gram gram.

"Theon is now officially the King, and Thillean is acting as his regent until he comes of age. He's also requested to meet with Dillon once things settle down."

"Any word on Queen Caladwen?" Garrett asked.

"Everyone was quite scandalized about her 'indiscretion.' Imagine what they'd think if they knew the truth. Lady Telawynn said she and the child are in good health and that she is being held in a secure location. They enlisted the Centaurs' aid in supervising her since no one is sure what complications the mating might bring."

"I suppose I should check in as well. I want to make sure the baby when it comes is well cared for, and I'm not sure Caladwen will be up to it."

"She certainly never took care of her own children," Dillon said.

"Hey," Skye said leaning forward to catch Dillon's eye. "We got this. We'll make sure everything is taken care of."

"I know. I trust you, Skye."

"Skye, Dillon and I are going to go up and get ready for bed. Why don't you see if you can find Jayce." Garrett stood, lifting Dillon with him. He kissed Dillon and took his hand before leading him off.

"I owe you an apology," Gilian said as she watched Garrett and Dillon leave the room.

"For what?"

"For doubting you. For doubting your intentions with my brother. I can feel it now."

Skye turned on the couch and pulled his legs up, so he was facing Gilian. "Feel what?"

"How much you and Garrett love him. It's so obvious I don't know how I missed it. You are good for him. He's so much more confident, and I don't remember seeing him as happy as he is now."

"I want what's best for him. I'd love to find something for him that would be more prestigious than being a valet, but I haven't come up with anything. I'd hate to not have him with me, but I want him to blossom. And I was serious about finding him a true mate."

"Oh, I don't doubt it. But don't be surprised that even when you do..."

"Yeah?"

Gilian seemed lost in thought for a moment. "Even when you do, I don't think he'd be able to give up his relationship with you and Garrett."

"But-"

"No, hear me out. I could be wrong, but I don't think I am. It's like he's a piece that fits perfectly in the machine - right where he is."

Skye wanted to argue or push back, but his dragon agreed with Gilian. "I promise I'll take care of him."

"I know you will, Prince Skye." Gilian went silent after that, but Skye had to give her credit for trying. It also occurred to him that having a mental connection to that many ever-horny male dragons would be a lot harder to deal with as a woman and an elf than it would be for another dragon.

Skye saw that a few of the others had started to drift off to their rooms for the night, but Jayce was still there, seated between Corbin and Mica. Damn, he is pretty, Skye thought. And obviously nervous. Skye took a moment to admire the dragon; he was the youngest of Skye's guard, probably the equivalent of Skye's age accounting for how dragons and humans aged differently. Jayce had an athletic build similar to Mica's, but his hair was darker - a light golden brown with blond highlights, all in a tumble of silky curls that just reached his shoulders. And when he looked up, maybe feeling the weight of Skye's gaze - his eyes caught the light. Beautiful brown eyes with a sparkling star pattern - it made him look exotic.

'They are all stunning,' Skye's dragon purred as he became more alert.

Yeah, okay, I accept it dragon. I love men and those three are so hot. If you told me I could only have one of them I think my head would explode. Each one is so perfect in his own way and even just sitting there, their hands are all over each other.

'So you'll admit that you enjoy being with them?' the dragon teased.

Enjoy doesn't even begin to cover it. I'll admit it. I need them, and the longer I stand here looking at them the harder it gets not to ask all of them to come with me. Skye could feel the satisfaction, and maybe a hint of smugness from his dragon.

I like it when you look at me that way, Corbin whispered in his mind.

Skye blushed at being caught. I look at you that way because I know how good you look without your clothes - and better yet how you feel.

I could feel it. I liked what you were thinking and just in case you need a reminder. I'm yours.

God, Corbin. It's taking all my self-control not to drag all three of you to my bed. I really do want you, and the thought of having your cock in my mouth is making it hard to think.

Later then... tonight is about Jayce. He's petrified you know?

Skye let out a gasp as Corbin put his hand on Jayce's chin and turned him in to give him a passionate kiss. Skye could feel the lust spike from all three of them.

Skye, do you need help? Your eyes shifted, and I think everyone in the room can feel you're about to lose it, Mica asked.

Thanks to the three of you, geez do you guys have to be so attractive? And all over each other. Damn it, Mica, I only have so much willpower.

Corbin and Mica pushed Jayce to his feet after Corbin released him from the kiss. Jayce looked stunned.

"Go on, Jayce. I think Skye's waiting for you," Mica said.

"Sure," Jayce looked over at Skye and caught his gaze, letting out a little moan.

Skye stepped up and put his arm around Jayce's shoulder. "Come on; I can't wait any longer."

"Woo hoo. Go get 'em boy. Show the big bad dragon who's got the best ass!" Jos cheered from the other side of the room. Several of the others quickly joined in catcalling, whistling and throwing out all kinds of creative, acrobatic suggestions.

Skye glanced back to see Mica and Corbin watching him. Thanks, guys. I'm sorry for losing it. At least you know how much you two get to me.

I think I speak for both of us when I say since you didn't drag us off with you, that's about the nicest thing you could have said, Mica sent.

Yeah. Corbin echoed.

• Scene 2 *

"Are you sure?" Jayce asked... again.

"Jayce quit. Don't let the teasing get to you. Trust me when I say they're jealous. Those guys all think you're hot and would love a chance to show you how good they are in bed. I know you find that hard to believe, but trust me. I 'know' what they're thinking. They're thrilled you're finally going to be bonded and be one of them. And remember, each and every one of them has been where you are."

"But..."

"No buts. I want you here. Garrett wants you here. And we want you to be part of the wing. If you were already bonded, you'd feel it and know how very much I want to do this."

Skye opened the door and held it for Jayce.

"Thought you got lost," Garrett said when they entered. He walked over to Skye and pulled him into a kiss. "Something feels different tonight." Garrett nuzzled into Skye and breathed deeply.

"Where's Dil?" Skye asked.

"He'll be back later." Garrett turned Skye so that his back was pressed into Garrett's chest. "Damn, he is one sexy dragon."

Jayce blushed and stared at the floor.

"Yeah, a very nervous, sexy dragon," Skye said.

"Nothing to be nervous about, Jayce. We will take very good care of you and anything you don't like - just say so."

"It's not like I'm a virgin," Jayce protested.

Skye opened himself up, letting more of Jayce's thoughts and emotions filter in. He kept himself fully open to Garrett to make sure his mate felt everything that he did.

"Father Dragon, are you two related?" Garrett laughed.

Skye turned to Garrett. "What do you mean?"

"Don't you see it? His mind - the fears, insecurities, doubts, and self- talk. It's you."

"It's n... oh shit, you're right." Skye stepped out of Garrett's arms and moved over to Jayce, wrapping him in his arms. "A kindred spirit." Skye's magic flared and coursed through his body as they touched. If he weren't hard before, he sure was now.

Jayce gave a nervous laugh. "Whoa, that was... um, kinda intense. Is that a good or bad sign?"

"Good - probably means the sex will be intense. And you being like Skye, that's good too - I'm betting before too long you two will be soul mates, best friends and all that. Also means the best thing we can do for you is bond you and let you know how very much you're wanted."

"He's right about that," Skye added as he tried to bring his dragon and the burning lust under control.

Garrett walked over to the side table and picked up a glass of wine. He handed it to Jayce. "Here, drink this, it will help. I promise it's not drugged. Just plain-old dragon berry wine."

"Garrett, don't I get a glass?"

"No. Absolutely not. You're so worked up if I gave you wine I won't be able to walk tomorrow and poor Jayce will think he took the whole wing."

Skye scowled but didn't argue.

"It doesn't need to be drugged, dragon berry wine is a drug," Jayce said.

"That much will just take the edge off." Garrett began undressing. Knowing he had a rapt audience, Garrett put on a little striptease show.

"You should sit down and watch. It's worth it," Skye said dropping down onto the bed.

"Wow," Jayce whispered.

"Amazing, isn't he? I'm the luckiest guy in the universe," Skye said as he watched Garrett strip off the last bit of clothing and he stood before them in all his dark gold, muscled magnificence.

"And you're willing to share him?" Jayce turned to Skye and looked at him as if he couldn't believe this was happening.

"Come on, you're the dragon. I thought this sharing thing was what you all did?"

"But, Father Dragon... he's so..."

Garrett walked over closer and took Jayce's hand in his and placed it on his cock, wrapping Jayce's fingers around the shaft. "Skye knows I belong to him, heart and soul. I only take other lovers that he chooses and lucky for me, most of the time we do them together."

"Fuck, it's so huge."

"Mmmm... and it feels so good. Doesn't it?" Skye murmured as he began rubbing Jayce's shoulders.

"Don't worry, Jayce. Being part of our wing, you'll get as much time as you want to play with it. But wouldn't you rather be exploring Skye?"

Jayce gave a nervous laugh and glanced over his shoulder at Skye.

"You've got to be kidding! Really, me? You've got the hottest man in the universe in front of you. That gorgeous dick in your hands and you think I'm sexier? I think Bryan must have damaged some brain cells with that nymph dust."

"No, Skye. He sees what the rest of us do. And I think it's time we show him the 'whole' package."

"Oh my..." Jayce gasped as Garrett pulled him up against his body. "Don't be so nervous, Jayce. Skye doesn't bite, and you may not be able to feel it, but I promise he wants you." Garrett turned Jayce, so he was facing the bed and wrapped his arms around him as his hands began opening his shirt and his lips brushed up against his ear.

"He wants to fuck you so bad he can barely think straight. I hope you saved up, cause he might suck you dry. He's been fantasizing about your pretty dick since he saw you the other night."

Jayce let out a moan and might have slipped to the floor if Garrett weren't holding him up. "Not me... you're just saying that."

"No, Jayce. Garrett's telling you the truth. I thought you were beautiful since the first time I met you, and the more I spend time with you, the more I like the person in the pretty body. Yeah... the other night it took all my willpower not to give you exactly what you were begging for. He's right, I love dick, and yours looked so incredibly suckable I haven't stopped thinking about it."

"Okay, babe. Enough pillow talk. Get undressed and show him what he gets to play with. You trust me, right?"

"Yeah..." Skye knew he was having difficulty thinking, but even so, that sounded like an odd question.

I can help get Jayce get past his fears. He's so much like you we just got to get him so turned on he forgets about that voice in his head. You're already there, I can feel it. Strip your clothes off and pose for him. Let me do the rest.

Some part of Skye's mind thought he should argue, but his dragon was practically screaming in his head. He didn't want to wait for Jayce to come around. He wanted him NOW.

"Jayce, didn't you say your little brother had a holo of Skye on his wall?" Garrett asked.

"Yeah, the one from the newsvid. My dads bought it for him."

"Your dads bought a holo of me, naked, for your little brother?" Skye asked in disbelief.

"Sure, he's almost to his change and..."

"How big?"

"About one by three meters," Jayce said absently as he watched Skye undress.

Garrett whispered into Jayce's ear. "You ever sneak in and jack off looking at it?"

"Yes..." Jayce rasped as Garrett ran his hand inside the man's shirt and over his chest. Jayce almost stumbled when Garrett released him and walked away.

"What are you doing?" Skye asked. He was now naked, and if he weren't so done with all this talking, he'd probably be embarrassed by the strange turn of the conversation.

"So pretty, pull your feet up babe and spread your legs a little wider."

"Garrett?"

"Jayce, strip. Now. Then stand right here and look at my mate. That's it look at all that beautiful ripped, golden muscle, his hard cock, just waiting to be sucked, those hard pink nipples. I know you want him. Skye put your hand on your taint as if you're going to point out your hole to Jayce. That's the way, now lick your lips, perfect." Garrett held up his portable cam.

"Garrett, is that a good idea? Making sex tapes usually goes really badly," Skye asked.

"I'll encrypt them, but even if it did get out, it would just make you more popular. Besides these are for Jayce... and his little brother. If he's going to jack off to my mate, I want him to have something worth looking at."

Skye got a barrage of images from Garrett's mind and let out a moan, his cock squirted pre-cum, and he thought his dragon might take over. The lust was pouring off of Jayce in waves. The thought of that beautiful man jacking his cock while thinking of Skye -Oh God, Garrett, I can't hold out much longer.

Garrett chuckled. "See his eyes glowing... my mate's about to lose it, Jayce. You know why?"

"No," Jayce squeaked. His body shaking with need.

"He's thinking of you touching yourself, thinking of him."

Jayce whimpered and then climbed onto the bed. "I can't wait anymore. Can I kiss you?"

Skye didn't answer but pulled Jayce into him and ravaged his mouth as he ground his body against Jayce. Skye kissed and sucked, everywhere their skin connected felt like electric sparks were passing between them.

Jayce and Skye flipped with Skye now on his back, and Jayce took Skye's nipple into his mouth and chewed and sucked as if it were the best thing he'd ever had.

"Oh God!" Skye cried out as his body arched.

"Damn, you two are so hot. I could almost get off just watching." Garrett's voice had gone low and sexy and came out more like a growl.

If you don't get your hot ass over here and join, I'm going to... shit, something. Skye screamed mentally at his mate.

Garrett climbed onto the bed and gently kissed Skye, swallowing his gasps of pleasure. It turns me on knowing how much you want me.

Skye grabbed the back of Garrett's head and shoved his tongue as far into Garrett's mouth as he could reach.

The magic likes this one, I can feel your dragon more than usual. Any of the other guys get this much of a reaction?

"You." Skye panted as Jayce moved to his other nipple while his hands slid down and explored Skye's hole.

I meant the 'other' dragons. I know I get to you.

Skye whimpered when Jayce took his cock into his warm, wet mouth. Corbin... Mica...

"Fuck, your cock tastes amazing!"

Chazzzzzzz... oh my god, Garrett. I don't know if I'll survive this.

"Shhhh, babe. It's okay. We got you. I think it's time you got Jayce's pretty cock in your mouth, don't you?"

Skye flipped Jayce over and straddled him, staring down into the young dragon's eyes. "Fuck, you are hot." Skye kissed Jayce hard before moving down, worshiping his tits until they were hard and swollen. As he kissed down the lean stomach, Garrett took over working Jayce's nipples.

Skye paused and gently stroked Jayce's cock. It was perfectly shaped and as golden as the rest of him. He ran his tongue over the silky, velvety skin and moaned. The pre-cum was almost as good as Garrett's, and the feel of the soft skin with the rock-hard flesh underneath made him want it all the more.

Skye looked up and caught Jayce's eye as he took the stiff dick into his mouth and savored the feel and taste. Garrett swung the camera around and took a few stills of Jayce cock with Skye's pink swollen lips wrapped around it.

"It's as good as I imagined." Skye moved down to Jayce's balls, then his taint before lifting his legs and diving in to taste his hole. "Mmmm, so good."

"Can I taste?" Garrett asked.

"Rim him, love. Show him how good you are and when you have him screaming I want my dick in there."

"You and me both."

Skye swung his leg over and moved into a 69, taking Jayce's cock into his mouth while offering his own.

Skye could feel the vibration from Jayce moaning and groaning around his cock while Garrett's tongue slid inside him. Yeah, you're going to be ready for us in no time. Skye could feel Jayce's orgasm already building from Garrett's attention and decided that their new lover needed the full treatment. He reached out with his magic and began stimulating Jayce's erogenous zones. It was a matter of seconds before Jayce's body clenched, his cock stiffened and Skye could feel the swell from the cum pumping through his body.

Skye sucked down Jayce's eruption making sure not to miss a single drop of the sweet dragon seed. He held the dragon tightly as Jayce thrashed in his arms, overwhelmed by the stimulation. Skye used his magic to make sure Jayce recharged quickly as he and Garrett traded positions.

"Father Dragon, that's big," Jayce gasped as Garrett put his cock to the dragon's pouty lips.

Skye kissed Jayce's tender rosebud and then put his dick to the opening and let Jayce's hungry dragon hole pull him in.

"Oh, oh, this is actually happening. Father Dragon!" Jayce's rambling was cut off as Garrett sunk the head of his dick into Jayce's mouth.

"There ya go, stud. Suck me real good while Skye fills you up. Use your flutter, Jayce. I want your body to take in every drop of Skye's seed," Garrett lifted himself up so he could kiss Skye.

How is he?

Perfect, silky and tight and geez, it's like fucking a live wire. My magic is going crazy.

Better bond him when you cum.

It happened way too quickly. Skye felt the orgasm building; he knew Jayce was beyond enjoying himself and was about to get an anal orgasm if not a full-blown eruption again. Skye had to reach out to Garrett to get his mate's help to focus his magic. He struggled to think.

Garrett pulled away, so Skye wasn't picking up on his pleasure as well and wrapped himself around Skye's back. We can do this. Feel my power and pull it in. Decide where you want to mark him - somewhere not too obvious. It would be a crime to mar any part of that body.

Skye realized that Garrett was helping ground him and he reached into Jayce, finding his dragon and his magic and intertwined it with his own and Garrett's. Jayce was glowing, and his pupils were blown wide. Skye leaned down and kissed him gently. "Almost there."

Jayce nodded.

Skye lifted Jayce's arms above his head as he slid in hard and deep then put his face into Jayce's armpit as he reached the peak. He bit the soft flesh and felt his body explode in orgasm. His cock felt so hard and swollen as Jayce's flutter filled with his seed, sucking it away and absorbing it into his body. Jayce trembled in their arms as his own orgasm took him and he cried out. Skye pushed the entwined magic deep into Jayce filling every corner as he collapsed, letting their bodies come together.

"Holy Fuck!" Jayce cried out. Garrett pulled back and then much to Skye's surprise Jayce rolled him over as he kept Skye inside him and straddled his hips.

Jayce moaned and began bouncing on Skye's cock like a wild man; he'd withdrawn his flutter and was now fucking himself and crying out in ecstasy. "YES! YES! YESSSSSS!"

Another volley of dragon seed shot out of Jayce's cock, coating Skye's chest. When the last bit dribbled out, Jayce slowed and ground himself down getting Skye as deep inside him as he could.

Skye looked up at Jayce, waiting and then felt a wave of relief as the glowing brown eyes looked down and a smile lit his face. He wiggled his ass and tightened around Skye's shaft. "You most definitely belong inside me. That was... I don't know... mind blowing, fucktastic."

"He is isn't he?" Garrett said running his hand over Jayce's shoulders. "Can you feel the others in your head yet?"

"Yeah... it's a bit of a rush. But you can stop worrying; I want you inside me next." Jayce wrapped his hand around Garrett's shaft and leaned down to lick the drop of pre-cum from the head. He turned back to Skye and leaned down running his tongue across Skye's lower lip. "I'm also very glad you're not done with me yet. Yes. I want it all."

"You sure you're up to that? Normally dragons are sort of wiped out after this," Garrett confirmed.

"Oh, I'm very sure."

"Well, you don't have to ask me twice. I've wanted that ass since I first saw it. And now seeing and tasting it up close and personal-like - it's a work of art."

"But first..." Garrett leaned down and began licking up the spilled dragon seed on Skye's chest. "Mmmm. So good." Garrett scooped some up and fed it to Skye.

So, what's going on? You've never been this charged after that many orgasms. Garrett asked his mate.

Don't know. The lust and need are still just as strong. I want him to fuck me - it's all I can think of right now.

"You'll both be glad to know I got some really good images and even some video. But there's one image I really want that we haven't captured." Garrett pulled out the camera and gave Skye a wink.

"Jayce, sit back and spread your legs. Skye, with your back to Jayce, mount him and sit in his lap."

Skye let out a little moan as they got into position and he slid down on Jayce's cock. He leaned back and wrapped his arm around Jayce's head as they kissed. Jayce found a nipple with one hand and began stroking Skye with the other.

"You feel so amazing, Jayce. Can you tell now, how much you affect Garrett and me?"

"Yeah... you were right. How can I doubt what I can feel for myself?"

"Now, those are some hot images," Garrett said before grabbing Jayce and pulling him down farther on the bed. "Turn around Skye. I want you to ride Jayce while I fuck him. Don't worry I'll work those nipples of yours - real hard."

Skye groaned as Garrett made good on his promise. He was back to not being able to think. Jayce's cock was filling him with pleasure while Garrett pulled and tugged on his tits, torturing him with pleasure that bordered on pain. But what was really pushing Skye over the edge was Garrett whispering all sorts of nasty fantasies into Skye's ear. He didn't understand why but hearing them whispered was even more erotic than picking them out of Garrett's thoughts.

Jayce cried out as another orgasm took him and he pumped his seed into Skye's body as Garrett filled Jayce's ass with his dragon seed.

Jayce looked up as if he was going to say something, then his whole body quivered, his cock let out another volley, and his ass squeezed Garrett hard enough to bring a groan. Jayce's eyes rolled up, and he collapsed back onto the bed.

"Boy's got stamina." Garrett pulled out and helped Skye dismount. "Hold up." Garrett bent Skye over and buried his face in Skye's freshly fucked hole. He slurped and licked until he got everything he could. "Now, you're good."

Skye looked down at the handsome dragon and had to admit he felt great. He rolled Jayce onto his stomach and admired the perfect globes of Jayce's ass before he pushed the cheeks apart and began licking up Garrett's load. "What? I'm not about to waste your load or a chance at his ass."

"I didn't say a word, babe. I agree that ass is real fine. So, are we going to let him sleep it off here or take him back to his room? I expect he'll be out 'til morning."

"I'm feeling pretty good. I'll get one of the guys to help me get him settled. Why don't you find Dillon and get things ready. I'm ready for some good cuddling."

Garrett grabbed Skye and kissed him. "That was one of the best yet."

"Yeah, wonder why?" Skye grabbed a pair of shorts from the floor and pulled them on. He opened the door to the hall and was surprised to find Corbin.

"Geez, do you work every night or just every time I'm bonding someone."

"I volunteered. Some of the guys find it a little intense to be close by when you're... you know..."

Skye loved the smile on Corbin's face. Damn, that man is so... mmmm. "Okay, well, can you help me get Jayce back to his room? He's out cold."

"Good to know you got your mojo back."

"Hey, we don't need to start rating my performance."

Corbin turned to Skye and gave him a serious head to toe gaze while licking his lips. "Of course not. Every time with you is... exceptional. I bet your mate agrees."

"Of course I do! Now if we could convince him," Garrett added.

"I'll carry him if you don't mind getting doors and clearing a path," Skye said lifting Jayce over his shoulder. He ran his hands up Jayce's thigh and over the curve of his ass and shuddered as the memory of recent events came back. Okay, Skye, you can do this. Stop thinking about Jayce's ass and move.

Corbin pulled the door closed behind them as they stepped into the hallway. "So can I ask? Was his ass as good as it looks?"

Skye snickered and looked into Corbin's eyes. "Even better. But you don't have anything to worry about."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

They got to Jayce's room, and Corbin opened the door - obviously still waiting for Skye to answer. Skye laid Jayce gently onto the bed and pulled the sheet over him, placing a gentle kiss on his lips.

"Well?"

Skye turned to see Corbin with his hands on his hips - his sexy narrow waist and "v" torso catching Skye's attention. Not to mention the notable bulge in his pants. Skye felt his dragon stirring again as he thought how incredibly handsome Corbin was. Always with a smile and a laugh, but there was no hiding the dangerous soldier under the skin.

Skye approached and backed Corbin up to the door. He closed in, his lips just a fraction of an inch from Corbin's.

"Meaning, you fucking turn me on Quinn Corbin. Your hot body gets me all hard and wet, and I fantasize about doing things with you almost every time I see you."

"Really?" Corbin rasped.

Skye bit at Corbin's lower lip and sucked it into his mouth. "Really," Skye growled.

Skye slid his hands under Corbin's shirt and within minutes had the guard stripped naked and pinned to the floor as he straddled him.

"Skye?"

"Shhhh. Let me..." Skye leaned down and kissed Corbin as he slid his shorts down and positioned himself over Corbin's dick. In seconds he slid himself down and took Corbin deep. Skye let out another growl and started riding Corbin as his hands kneaded his pecs and tugged at his nipples.

"Father Dragon..." Corbin moaned.

"Yes, I needed this. I needed you Corbin. Your perfect cock buried deep inside me."

"But, Garrett..."

"Oh, he's with me. He might be back in the room lying on our bed, but right now he's feeling everything I am. Feeling your perfect big cock rubbing my dragon hole in all the right ways. Bet by the time I'm done with you, he'll orgasm a couple of times."

"Fuck. Yes..." Corbin threw his head back and let Skye take him.

• Scene 3 *

Skye was starting on his second plate of food. He couldn't remember the last time he was this hungry.

"You want me to ask the chef to make more for you?" Dillon asked putting a hand on Skye's shoulder.

Skye leaned his cheek into Dillon's touch. "I think this is enough, thanks." He looked across when he heard Garrett snickering at him.

"I don't know what's come over you, babe, but for the record, I like it."

Skye felt happy and couldn't stop the smile that spread across his face. Want to fuck me again when we're done with breakfast?

Yes, but we do have some stuff we need to do. Might want to get a few things out of the way first.

"Spoil my fun."

"Never, babe. Never."

"Okay, is it just me? Can no one else feel it?" Mica asked looking around the table.

"Feel what Mica?" Jos asked.

"He means the sexual energy," Kwill volunteered.

Skye looked up in surprise to see Kwill giving him one of his mischievous smiles. It was unusual for Kwill to speak or join in the group conversations. When in a small group, yeah, but at the table with most of the wing - almost never.

"Not that I object. It's been a very... tasty morning," Kwill added.

Skye's eyes went to Chaz who began coughing. When he caught Chaz's eye, Chaz gave a shrug and blushed. Chaz? Did you let Kwill?

He offered and it was either that or beg you. I might be desperate, but I do have some pride.

I thought Fiske gave you an open invitation?

He was preoccupied fucking Mica or being fucked by - given the noises I heard through the wall, maybe both.

"River did you notice anything?" Skye asked.

River stared pointedly at his food and continued eating, though Skye did notice he turned bright red. "No."

Skye knew immediately River was lying. River?

I couldn't help myself. I didn't force anyone. I swear, Skye. They sort of volunteered and Nik couldn't take any more.

Where is Nik and what do you mean?

He's still out cold. I um... may have had sort of um... had an orgy thing.

Garrett, you still with us? Skye asked.

Oh, yeah. Keep going. This is getting interesting.

River, what do you mean by 'orgy thing?'

You know, several guys, sex, sucking, fucking...

Can you tell me who?

Me, Kuai, Jos, Feired, Venci, and Nik. I think Kwill was in there too for a while.

Skye sat back and looked up and down the table noticing how almost everyone was avoiding looking at him. Well, that leaves only a few people unaccounted for.

Given the way Bryan and Gilian are glancing at each other I think you can take them off the list. Leesai is giving everyone the look of death so I'm betting she didn't get to play, and Dillon and Corbin were in our bed, Garrett observed.

"Has anyone seen Gregg?" Skye asked realizing he was the only one of the wing not present.

"He said he was going for a morning run," Leesai said. "Since we'll be leaving and he doesn't know when he'll get to shift next he said he ought to get it out of his system."

Yeah, maybe burn off some frustration too. "Oh, god. Garrett you don't think Grandma and Grandpa were affected?"

"I haven't seen them this morning - or Bianchi for that matter."

"Kwill, any great psion insights?"

"From what I picked up, I'd say River came into his powers, and some of your wing got spillover through the bond."

"So is that why I-"

"No."

"You didn't have to be so quick about it. You didn't even hear my question!" Skye said.

Kwill smiled. I'm in your head, remember? No, as much as you'd like to blame your brother. Your actions were totally driven by 'your' needs. Not his.

Well, shit. Then Skye smiled to himself and felt a warmth spread through his body. It was pretty awesome, and I did enjoy it. Certainly made my dragon happy.

And me, Garrett sent.

Glad you approve.

Like I already told you Skye, you were amazing. If that's your next plateau or whatever, I'm down with it. And I think if you ask Jayce, Corbin, or Dillon they are too. Just look at the smile on Corbin's face.

Skye glanced over at his dark-haired guard and found him gazing at him intently.

You talking about me? Corbin asked.

Wondering if you enjoyed last night?

You have to ask? I obviously did something wrong. Maybe we should try again?

You mean just to be sure we did it right?

Yeah. Corbin's eyes had started to glow, and Skye could swear that he probably was too if he could see himself.

"Mica, does everyone know what needs done so we're ready for the shuttle?"

"Venci and I will take care of it. I think Colonel Bianchi was going to try and leave this morning so you may want to catch him and your grandparents before starting anything else."

"I'll leave things to you guys then. I may ask for your help, and maybe Jos's with that other matter."

"Skye, I want Corbin to help with that too," River said getting a confirming nod from Kwill.

"Sure. I'll let you know when I'm ready. River, Kwill, do either of you..."

"No. Given what's going on with me right now, I better steer clear," River responded.

I'm always with you, Skye. My physical presence is not necessary. I'll be in my room, pleasuring myself while sharing your experiences.

I did not need to know that, Kwill.

Skye finished his breakfast, gave Garrett a kiss and went in search of his grandparents. He didn't have to go far; his grandmother was coming down the stairs in the front hall.

"Skye! I was coming to look for you and River to say goodbye." She pulled Skye into a hug and squeezed. "You take care of yourself and promise me you'll be careful."

"I promise, Grandma."

"And you bring Rilien back safe and sound."

"That's the plan. I'm going to miss you."

"Oh, me too, sweety. I am so glad we're here, and as soon as you get your boy, you come home, and we'll give him the best welcome home party ever."

"That would be nice. Where's Pops?"

"He's just finishing packing. Luca went to make sure the sleigh is ready."

Skye noticed a sad edge in her thoughts. "Everything okay?"

"Change is good for you right?" Nancy gave a forced laugh. "Yeah, I'll be fine. Talk to your grandfather, but I think Luca made his choice." She brushed her dress down and stood a little taller. "I'm going to find River. You take care." Nancy kissed Skye's forehead and left.

Okay, Dragon, did you pick up on that?

'Disappointment. Resignation. A bit sad but also very determined," the dragon voice said in Skye's mind.

Yeah, that's what I got too. Let's find Grandpa.

Skye found Charlie just closing up the trunk in their room. He was wearing the biggest smile, Skye had ever seen on the man. "Who knew we could collect so much in such a short time. I think your grandma has more dresses and fancy clothes than she's owned in 60 years combined."

"Pater can be overly generous," Skye said.

Charlie harrumphed. "Yeah, but such a sweet man. You've got great in-laws Skye. Be thankful."

"You and Grandma going to be okay?"

"Sure... why?" Charlie blushed and got preoccupied with making sure the trunk was secure. "Oh well, since you probably plucked it out of my head already... Luca and I sorta... well shit, boy. I'm not sure how it happened. We were talking, and then he put his hand on my leg and next thing I knew we were in his room and holy camoly."

Skye watched as his grandfather just stared off into space. The smile growing bigger. "Yeah, well I'm sure you don't want the details. There just aren't words, son."

"Can I ask you something, Pops?"

"Of course. You sure it wouldn't be easier to just root around in here and take it?" Charlie asked tapping his forehead.

"Nah, doesn't work like that. Much better if you tell me. The first time Luca kissed you, what ran through your head?"

"Well, that sure wasn't the question I was expecting. Let me think. Yeah, no doubts - I was thinking 'my God, what have I been missing,' then it sort of struck me that it was the most perfect kiss ever. It felt natural, like we just fit together, like he was the part of my soul that was missing. I think after that my rational brain checked out." Charlie gave a nervous chuckled and blushed even brighter.

"That's honestly what I expected. Good or bad, that's what it was like the first time Garrett kissed me."

"Really? I'm too old for this, Skye. Why couldn't it have happened when I was young like you? I'm a tired old man, I've lived my life. Sort of cruel twist of fate."

"No, Pops. You are looking younger every day, and you've got many years ahead of you. Please, don't waste this chance. Grab onto Luca and don't let him go. Be honest and tell him how you feel."

"But, Nancy..."

"I've got some thoughts on that too. I know this magic and telepathic thing is new. Grandpa, do you trust me?"

"Of course I do."

"Talk to Luca. Tell him how you feel and tell him your concerns about Grandma. Ask him if he's attracted to Grandma and if he is, tell him to act on it. I think you all might be surprised." Skye could practically see the wheels turning.

"I'll do that."

Skye pulled his grandpa into a hug. "I may be jumping ahead, but this time, I got your back, pops. I think it will work out just fine and I'll be here to help."

"Take care of yourself, Skye and don't let your brother do anything stupid."

"I'll do my best."

Skye headed back downstairs, and when he got to the front hall, he noticed the small bundle tucked behind a statue just inside the door to the vestibule. He walked over and checked it out. Well, how about that? It was Gregg's clothing and boots. He picked them up and took them upstairs.

Guess it's time for the show. Skye reached out to find Garrett, Mica, Corbin, and Jos. Can you watch the front hall for Gregg's return. I took his clothes so he might be a bit grumpy when he comes in. Bring him up to my room.

Will do, Mica responded.

• Scene 4 *

"Too much?" Skye asked as he looked at his reflection.

"I think you look hot," Dillon responded.

Skye turned and kissed Dillon as he tugged at the crotch on the leather pants, trying to get himself adjusted. "Thanks. Between you and me, this freaks me out a little."

Dillon picked up Skye's discarded clothes and began folding them and placing them in the open trunk. "Did you ask Kwill if he had any other suggestions? Hey, you okay with the simple trousers and jacket? I know you think it looks like a uniform but Caris is much warmer, and we'll be in the transport for hours."

"Yeah, that's fine and no, maybe I should reach out to Kwill. You mind listening in?"

"Sure, why? You nervous about Kwill?"

"No, just I'm so worked up right now I'm afraid I won't catch what he tells me or I'll forget." Skye held Dillon's hand as he mentally searched out Kwill. Physical touch wasn't necessary, but it made him feel more grounded. It only took seconds.

You ready, Skye?

Not really. Anything else I need to know beyond act bossy and act like I know what I'm doing. Skye could feel Kwill's amusement like a tickle under his skin.

I did a deep dive on him last night. This is the only way. But, Skye, you 'are' the alpha, or rather the dragon equivalent. You don't need to 'act,' just let your dragon help you. You must be dominant and in control. Please trust me when I say that you'll know what to do when the time comes. Read him and keep your shields down like you would with any other bonding.

Is this another one of those, you know more but won't tell me cause I need to do it for myself?

I'm so proud of you, 'Padawan.' You're learning. Yes, you do much better when you make the decisions on your own. Eventually, you'll trust me, but we're not there yet.

Never should have told you about those movies, Skye realized that even mind-to-mind, he sounded sulky.

Anything from your past helps me understand you. Your grandparents have been an astounding revelation; I can't wait to visit Earth and learn more.

You'll step in if things go wrong?

Of course, but I won't need to. He just returned by the way. I felt him shift and he's about to find that you stole his clothing. You'll do great, Skye.

Skye pulled back and squeezed Dillon's hand.

"I agree, you've got this. I'll stay out of the way but close enough to hear if you need me." Dillon leaned in and took Skye's nipple in his mouth.

Skye let out a moan, and Dillon sucked and licked making his lust spike and his hole twitch. "God, Dillon, what was that for?"

"I like your nipples and thought it might distract you. It usually does."

"You're evil." Skye glared at Dil as he got a sweet innocent smile in return as the elf made himself scarce.

He heard the commotion long before the door opened.

"What the hell?" Gregg yelled as he was manhandled into the room. He was naked and very confused. Jos and Corbin had each of his arms locked and were practically dragging him when Mica opened the door. Garrett followed, closing and locking the door behind him. Garrett turned and looked Skye up and down.

Fuck. If he says no, can I get in your pants? You look delicious, Garrett sent.

I guess...But let's hope he decides yes. I'll put the pants on for you anytime you want.

Good to know. You got this, Skye. We're here for you.

"Glad you could join us, Gregg," Skye said calmly coming to stand in front of the shifter, feeling a little more confident with Garrett's presence.

"What the hell is going on, Skye. These idiots grabbed me at the door and practically dragged me up the stairs. They stole my clothes!"

"Decision time, Gregg. This is your last chance. Do you want to be one of my guards and join my wing? It means being bonded. If you do, we'll continue. If you decide 'no,' we'll give you your clothes, and you join Colonel Bianchi on the sleigh - return to Capital City and turn in your resignation from the Imperial Guard."

"I can't go back to being a regular Imperial Guard?"

"Not an option. You were chosen to be one of mine. If that doesn't work for you, then you need to find a new vocation. Maybe you could move to Ground Forces or Protectorate."

Gregg looked nervously at the guys holding him, then Skye. He turned his gaze to the floor before responding. "I want to be bonded."

"I barely heard that. Try again," Skye ordered. He'd already opened his shields so was very aware of Gregg's internal struggle.

"I want to be bonded," Gregg responded loudly this time. "I want to be one of your wing."

Skye moved closer to Gregg and gripped his chin in his hand turning the wolf-shifter so he made eye contact. "Why does it scare you, Gregg?" Skye whispered and then let Gregg's mental response filter through his mind.

Well, I'll be damned. That explains so much, Skye thought as the thoughts, fears, and desires poured out of Gregg's head before he answered. You with me dragon?

'Always,' the deep rumble responded, echoing in Skye's head.

"I'm an alpha..." Gregg responded weakly to Skye's question.

Skye, what? What did you get from him - I couldn't pick it up. Garrett asked.

The answer to why we have to do it this way - what Kwill wouldn't tell me.

Yeah, and that is?

Patience, Garrett. You'll see soon enough.

"Look at me Gregg," Skye commanded and waited for him to respond.

"Sir."

"You are mine now. I am your 'alpha,' the head of this wing and you will obey me. Do you understand?"

Gregg squirmed and Skye could feel the inner turmoil building again.

"Yes, sir."

Skye ran his hands over Gregg's muscled body, feeling the tickle of his body hair against his palms. He cupped the full pecs and flicked at Gregg's nipples until they were hard. He leaned in and licked and nibbled until Gregg moaned. Skye moved to the other one and did the same. He slid his hands down Gregg's muscled abs and gripped his cock. The wolf was already rock-hard.

"Gregg, this belongs to me now. Your cock is mine. It's mine to suck or stroke or even ride if I want. I can take it whenever I want, or I can leave you untouched, even forbid you from touching yourself."

Gregg whimpered and pulled trying to get his arms away from Corbin and Jos who held him tightly.

"Tell me, Gregg. Tell me this cock belongs to me."

"It belongs to you, Prince Skye."

"Good. And, Gregg if I tell you to let one of your wing-mates use your cock for their pleasure, you will do so without question. Right?"

"Please, sir. Don't make me..."

"Gregg, your cock belongs to me. What do you need to say to me?"

"If... if you tell me to give it to a wing-mate... then I do so."

"Better." Skye knelt and took Gregg's erection into his mouth. He licked and sucked, giving special attention to the sensitive head before taking it all the way into his throat and burying his nose in Gregg's pubes. He pulled back and growled.

"You smell good, Gregg. I think we're going to enjoy having you in our wing."

"Sir... please," Gregg whimpered as he continued to struggle.

Skye kissed his way up Gregg's body, teasing his nipples and gradually moving up to his neck. He bit gently at the tender flesh before taking the ridge of Gregg's ear between his teeth. "I know what you want Gregg. Even better, I know what you need."

"Please, Skye, no. I can't... alpha's don't..."

"Help him to the floor - keep him on his hands and knees and make sure he stays still."

You know, Skye, I'm dying of curiosity. Can't you give me a hint? Garrett pleaded.

You are really impatient, Garrett. Just hang on a bit longer. Skye walked over to the nightstand and picked up a bowl of Garrett's pre-cum he collected the night before. He knelt down next to Gregg's head and lifted his chin to look at him.

"You can try and fight if it makes you feel better. Give it all you've got and see if you can escape. Won't change anything but if that's what you need, do it." Skye moved behind Gregg as he struggled with a new intensity. Skye pinned Gregg's calves with his own legs as he began massaging the muscled ass.

"Wow, he's stronger than I thought," Corbin said as he had to concentrate to hold Gregg in place.

"Guess all the training has paid off," Mica added.

"But you guys are probably my strongest guards. I could hold him myself, but then I couldn't do all the fun stuff. Two dragons, or two and a half if you count me pinning his legs are more than a match for one wolf- shifter."

Gregg's muscled glutes had a nice light coating of brown hair and an even thicker trail that led down his crack. Skye massaged the globes and pulled them apart to show the tiny pink star, winking at him. "Mmmm. That's pretty and so tight." Skye leaned in and ran his tongue down Gregg's trench.

Gregg screamed and tried to fight harder but with no success.

"You have a very sweet tasting little pucker there, Gregg." Skye licked and sucked at the twitching ass lips. He licked up and down the crack and then using the tip of his tongue, swirled around the edges, making Gregg moan and try to pull away. Skye gripped his hips firmly holding him in place.

"Please, no, don't... I can't. I can't."

"You agreed to this Gregg. You can lie to yourself all you want but you knew what becoming a wing mate and being bonded would include."

"But..."

Skye began licking again and using his tongue to coax the lips to open for him. He paused when Gregg seemed to quiet his struggling. "Has anyone ever done this for you Gregg?"

"No." Gregg's voice was barely more than a whisper.

"Have you ever taken a man into you, Gregg?"

"No." This time the response came out as more of a sob.

"But you told me you are gay and that you were only attracted to men." Skye resumed rimming while he waited for Gregg to answer.

"I'm a man, an alpha. Not a she-bitch," Gregg forced out around the moans.

"You are a very handsome man and an alpha. Being with another man does not make you a bitch."

"But..." Gregg began and then gasped and focused on breathing as Skye slid a finger inside him and began massaging his ass lips.

I'm in your head Gregg. You can't lie to me; I know what you want. If you think you can save face by fighting, do it. But I'm going to give you what you want.

Gregg let out a hoarse scream and put his head to the floor. He made a feeble attempt at struggling and then just stilled as silent sobs racked his body.

"Garrett, can you?" Skye asked pointing to Gregg's quivering hole. "I need to get undressed."

But, but, I want to undress you...

Garrett, rim the poor wolf. You are amazing and can undress me anytime. This is his first.

"Fine!" Garrett grumbled as he got on his knees and took Skye's place. He gripped Gregg's ass and then began his skillful tongue worship of the wolf's hole.

"Tastes good, doesn't he?" Skye asked as he worked off the leather pants.

"Yes," Garrett said without pulling back. Rather be doing you!

We all make sacrifices, love. Just remind yourself it's a virgin pussy, and you'll get to put your dick in Gregg's ass before the night's over.

You still owe me.

Skye shook his head in disbelief. Garrett was usually all over getting a new piece of ass. This sudden obsession with only doing Skye was both new and strange.

"Guys, if you can hold him at the same time - go ahead and let your hands play with him. Give special attention to his tits and if you happen to find a big hard cock to stroke... have at it. Mica, come here for a second."

"What you need from me?"

"You and Garrett get naked."

"What?" Mica's eyes went wide in surprise.

"You heard me, get naked and help Garrett."

Skye took Garrett's place at Gregg's ass and began fingering and tongue worshiping the virgin hole as Corbin and Jos began pinching and tugging on Gregg's nipples.

"Now what?" Garrett asked as he and Mica stood naked awaiting instructions.

"Damn, you two are hot. Get in front of Gregg and put his head in your crotches, let him move back and forth between the two of you. See how much of your dick you can get in his mouth. Oh, and let him lick your balls when he needs a breath." Skye said before resuming trying to get his tongue and two fingers inside Gregg.

"I don't su..." Gregg started before Garrett forced his mouth open and Mica slid his cock over Gregg's lips and onto his tongue.

"Yeah, you do," Garrett growled guiding Gregg's head up and down on Mica's shaft.

"Damn, Skye, the boy's leaking like a sieve," Corbin said lifting his fingers to his mouth, strings of pre-cum dripping off as he sucked them clean.

"Tasty?" Skye asked.

Corbin gave one of his beautiful smiles. "Not you, but yeah, pretty good."

"See how much you can get out of him and make sure you share the good stuff with Jos."

Skye watched as Corbin reached under Gregg, he must have been successful because his palm had a good bit of clear shiny fluid. He made an exaggerated show of sliding it on his tongue before he reached over and grabbed Jos, pulling him into a kiss. Skye knew they were sharing Gregg's bounty and seeing the two kiss cranked up his lust.

Gregg had given up struggling. Skye knew his internal struggle was still raging, but his wolf realized that he couldn't overpower them and really didn't have a choice. He gave up fighting the cocks that battled for his mouth and willingly slurped and sucked as Garrett and Mica took turns using him. Gregg's tiny little pucker had also relaxed, and Skye easily slid three fingers in and out of the wolf. Gregg had even started moving with him, pushing back and flexing to increase the sensation.

I think you're ready. Skye put his cock to the opening and began rubbing himself against the virgin hole. Gregg moaned out loud and tried to look back over his shoulder, but Garrett grabbed his face and pushed him back down on his dick. Skye paused when he got the head of his cock past the outer ring. Gregg was extremely tight, but Garrett's pre-cum was doing its job, relaxing him and making him ready.

Skye pushed the rest of the way in and began slowly thrusting. It was a very silky, tight and welcoming home for his cock. Skye closed his eyes and enjoyed the sensation, making sure he shared it with Garrett.

Gregg was moaning almost constantly now and no longer needed any encouragement to suck the cocks being offered. The fighting was over.

"YES! Fuck me!" Gregg cried out.

"Corbin, Jos, pull harder on those tits. Make him feel it. Oh... yeah, that makes his hole quiver and tighten real nice."

"Ohhhh! Oh, fuck, yes. Harder, fuck me harder Skye!"

This is what you wanted isn't it, Gregg? Skye whispered in the shifter's mind. He could still feel the turmoil, but now along with it was an almost overwhelming sense of satisfaction.

Please, they can't know... please don't tell anyone, Gregg mentally pleaded.

They already know, Gregg. They can see it; they feel how your body's reacting. You can't keep this a secret from your wing, and once you're bonded, they'll feel how much you want them to fuck you.

Gregg's moans were now interspersed with sobs again as he practically gagged himself on Garrett's cock.

This was the secret, wasn't it Skye? Our macho wolf was truly desperate for cock?

"Tell them Gregg, admit it to your wing-mates."

Gregg pulled off Garrett long enough to turn and look at Skye - his eyes pleading. "I can't, please, don't make me..."

"Our big, bad alpha has dreamed, fantasized and imagined himself getting fucked since he was about ten years old. He's wanted this for a very long time. As you might have noticed, he's pretty hungry for dick. In his mouth and up his ass," Skye explained as he rubbed up and down Gregg's back as his cock slid in and out giving the shifter the greatest pleasure he'd ever felt.

"But then why not?" Jos asked - the look of confusion clear on his face.

"Stupid wolf shit," Garrett muttered as he let Mica take his place in Gregg's mouth.

"Alphas, even 'gay' alphas are only supposed to top. Being a bottom, even occasionally, is seen as an abomination in the pack unless you're the lowest rank." Skye explained.

"That's dumb," Corbin said giving another twist to Gregg's nipple as he stroked him. "It feels great. We all like taking dick."

"Especially Skye's," Garrett added.

"I beg to differ. Yours is best," Skye retorted.

"If you could fuck yourself, you'd agree. Yours is best. Right guys?"

Skye glared as the others all nodded and smiled.

"He feels good inside you, doesn't he?" Mica asked as he wrapped his palm under Gregg's chin - Gregg's lipped wrapped tightly around his cock.

Gregg nodded.

"Guys, his pussy is so good, I'm going to blow soon. Just warning you - I'm going to pull your magic and combine it with my own. So you might want to keep your dragons calm."

Skye made sure his dragon was on board and started gathering his magic, he then reached out one by one and pulled Garrett's and his other wing- mates magic until he had braided it together. He began slowly, pushing it into Gregg, each time he thrust.

"Fuck!" Gregg cried out as his body began to tremble.

"Can I?" Corbin asked as he licked his lips.

"Go for it," Skye encouraged and watched as Corbin crawled under Gregg and took the large cock into his mouth just before Gregg erupted. His ass started squeezing, and Skye was pulled over the edge, his own load firing off like a cannon inside the wolf's once virgin hole. Skye pushed the magic harder and filled Gregg as he leaned forward and pulled the soft flesh at the side of Gregg's neck into his mouth and bit down hard.

Gregg's body convulsed, and Skye knew it was the ultimate release. Not only had it brought a second orgasm but the shifter's wolf accepted Skye as his dominate. If Gregg could have moved, he'd have rolled over and exposed himself completely to his master.

Skye had no doubt the wolf was bonded. He let the last spurt of his load go and pulled out.

"Take him, Garrett."

Garrett didn't need any more prompting - this was what they'd planned from the start. He moved around and with no preamble shoved his monster cock up Gregg's chute and began fucking.

"This is what you needed Gregg, and you can have it anytime you want."

Gregg moaned, and then Skye moved in and offered him his cock. "Suck me clean, Gregg. Taste the seed that's crawling up your ass and the sweet pussy juice that's all yours."

Gregg didn't fight or resist, just began worshiping Skye's cock as Garrett plowed him.

"Corbin, Jos, you can let go now. He's not going anywhere. Go ahead and get undressed. You can touch and play with him however you want. Just make sure you hold back enough so you can fuck him before we're done." Skye leaned across Gregg's body and kissed his mate.

Good, tight hole, isn't it?

Not as good as yours, but yeah.

"Skye, are you sure? All of us?" Jos asked as he came back and ran his hands over the light sheen of sweat on Gregg's back, massaging his ass cheeks as he watched Garrett's big tool slide in and out of the once tiny hole.

"He needs every dick we can give him. He's gone without so long. He needs to understand that his wing accepts him and will give him as much cock as he can handle - without thinking any less of him."

"I don't know Skye... he's got a pretty nice tool here. Tasty too. He might have to agree to top at least now and again," Corbin said.

Skye looked down into Gregg's eyes. "He will, just understand he much prefers being on the receiving end."

Skye moved out of the way so Corbin could give him his cock to suck on.

You see, Gregg. You're safe with us. You can feel their thoughts, their lust, and their attraction. You know they accept you and will protect you and still think of you as an alpha wolf.

Thank you.

So now that you know you can have as much cock up your ass as you want, you think you can be a little nicer to your mates.

Gregg laughed and then began coughing, having to pull off of Corbin's cock for a moment. Yeah, guess I need to be nice to them if I want them to take care of me.

Skye leaned down and kissed Gregg. It ended up being a heavier and more impassioned kiss than he planned as he tasted Corbin on Gregg's tongue. When he made sure he'd licked every bit of Corbin out of Gregg's mouth, he released him.

I've got more, Corbin teased, smiling at Skye.

Skye grabbed Corbin and tried to get his tongue down the dragon's throat. Not for long. Skye sent as he reached around and slid his finger's down Corbin's crack.

• Scene 5 *

"One last check," Venci said looking down at the list projected from his bio-comm.

"All the stuff on board?" Skye asked.

"Yes, Mica's doing one last round on the rooms to make sure we didn't forget anything or anyone."

"Someone make sure Gregg is on board?"

"Corbin and Jos already got him loaded and buckled in. What did you do to him? The way that man's been smiling all afternoon - makes me suspicious. He hasn't scowled or tried to bite anyone."

"Come on now, Venci. You telling me you didn't 'feel' anything?"

Venci raised an eyebrow and gave Skye a bored look. "Please, I've now survived several bondings. Other than lasting longer than usual. I'm so horny anymore it's hard to tell the difference. I'll confess I went for a walk out to the barns."

"So, last night. My brother?"

Venci blushed. "I'm only dragon, and he's so much like you and he 'did' offer."

"Worth it?" Skye teased.

Venci snorted and pretended he wasn't really paying attention. "Very."

"Any more communications, messages or hints? I haven't heard anything, and I really expected someone to brief us."

"Not that came to me." Venci turned and looked at Skye intently. "Something's changed. I can't explain it - just feels different."

"Different good or different bad?" Skye asked not really picking up any clarifying hints from Venci's thoughts.

"Good, I guess. More grounded or settled. Sorry, I know that's not much help."

"I think it's very insightful," Kwill said as he joined them.

"Now, I am worried," Skye said.

"Glad everything went well earlier. I enjoyed it immensely by the way," Kwill said.

"Thanks Venci, let me know when you want me to board." Skye moved away pulling Kwill with him.

**Fine, I have to ask. What do you actually pick up when you're 'listening in?'"

You are so naive at times. Now that we're bonded, I 'can' sense it all. How tight Gregg's hole felt around your cock. How silky and warm it was as you thrust deep, how hot it got you knowing he loved having you fuck him. The wing is going to be good for him. He's got a hungry ass.

Geez, Kwill. So you get as much of what I sense as Garrett?

Close, but no he gets it clearly enough it's hard to remember what he's experiencing versus what you are. I get the good feelings, but it's quite clear that I'm sharing. Don't worry, I'm quite happy with the results. You have some very exceptional lovers, Prince Skye. I'm not sure if you realize how lucky you are. I'll head to the ship and check on Gregg.

He didn't pass out. Does that mean something?

Given how much he needed it, no. His hunger was strong enough to keep him going even when the pleasure threatened to shut him down.

Good, I was worried I was losing my touch.

Kwill laughed. You do realize your power is getting stronger? If anything, your dragon has figured out how to keep them alert so he can fuck them longer. Kwill walked away still laughing to himself.

Skye glared at Kwill's retreating back, before going in search of his mate.

It wasn't long before everything was ready. Garrett found Skye in the library and let him know it was time to go.

"You think we'll be able to save Rilien?" Skye asked.

"I do. We've got a good team, and I'm sure Father and Pater's people have a plan and the resources to make it happen. But if we don't get going..."

Skye gave Garrett a quick kiss and followed, pulling on the heavy parka as they walked. River and Nik were waiting for them in the front hall with Mica.

"Let's do this, bro!" River said.

Garrett led the way out toward the barn where the shuttle waited. Skye kept glancing at Nik and couldn't help but reach out with his magic and do a thorough check of the dragon. He looked terrible.

Everything check out? Garrett asked.

Yeah, best I can tell he's exhausted, Skye responded. Skye turned to look at the silver shuttle reflecting the afternoon sun. "Wow, that is cool!"

"Better than Sci-Fi, right, Skye?" River asked.

"Nothing like that military shuttle they used to bring me to Draga."

"We're traveling in style, babe. This is one of Father's transports." Garrett led them up the ramp and into the main cabin.

"Whoa..." River said in awe. "Makes first class look like stowage."

Skye looked aground in agreement, seeing his wing already seated and buckled into the large, over-sized captain's chairs. There were two seats on each side of a wide center aisle with ample space around each chair. The cabin was elaborately finished with intricately inlaid paneling and thick carpet.

"Are you and Nik allowed to be on the same transport?" Skye asked.

"Since Father got the Oracle's proclamation that you and River need to be together, he's made a blanket exception for us. Not going to say Pater's happy about it but I don't think they're willing to risk separating us." Garrett pulled Skye to an open seat next to the window. The portal was at least four times as big as anything he'd seen on an Earth plane. But then, he realized that the Empire's technology and materials were far beyond what he knew.

The seat in front of Skye swiveled around, and Venci was now facing him. "You good, sir?"

"Think so."

"It's a long flight so try to relax and enjoy. If you want anything to eat or drink, just ask, and I'll get it for you. We'll have a dinner served once we're at a good altitude and then a couple of snacks later. It will be the middle of the night when we arrive in Caris."

Oh shit. Garrett, what if need to... you know? Before we arrive.

Garrett laughed and leaned out of his chair to grip Skye's hand. Skye, you've got me, and the entire wing with you. I don't think you need to worry.

But they'll know.

Skye, they're bonded to you. Even if you're in another room on the opposite end of the palace behind locked doors - they 'know.' I'm sure they are willing to be discreet and pretend not to look. If no other reason that for the hope they might be next. If you want to, we can use the office or one of the sleeping cabins. Unless you're feeling nostalgic and want to use the lavatory?

Skye sat in silence. It hadn't even occurred to him that the transport would have other cabins. But if it was the Emperor's mode of travel that wasn't so surprising. He ran through the logic of what his wing-mates picked up and considered what Garrett said. Of course he was right. Even shielding, the guys still picked up enough to know 'what' was going on. The only way they wouldn't was if he suppressed their bond and that was unpleasant for everyone. He closed his eyes and decided he should try to get some sleep while he could.

"Sir, sir," Venci's voice broke into Skye's slumber.

"Um... yeah?"

"Just wanted to warn you that you're going to hear some strange noises and feel some jolts. A flit is going to dock with us. They had all the correct clearance codes."

Skye sat up and looked around. "We're in the air. How?"

Garrett answered. "The flit is a small, one or two person craft. These shuttles are designed to allow them to land on top and dock. In an emergency, they can evacuate someone or make it possible for an undetected rendezvous."

Skye waited nervously as he heard the strange noises and felt the ship lurch as the smaller craft attached. Moments later a chameleon, entered the cabin. Unlike the two he had met before, this one was in uniform. Venci stood and offered the stranger his seat.

Before the newcomer sat down, Skye stood and extended his hand, palm up, as he activated his sigil. He let out the breath he'd been holding when the red dagger illuminated on the back of the Chameleon's hand.

"Welcome, sir. I'm Prince Skye."

"Your Majesty, Prince Garrett, it is an honor. I'm agent Cebrus. May I sit?"

"Please," Garrett responded as he took his own seat. Skye sat as well and stretched across the divide to take Garrett's hand.

"My apologies for the secrecy but we aren't taking any chances. We will provide you and your team details when you are settled in at the resort in Caris. For now, I want to give you an overview of what you can expect and what the plan is," Cebrus explained.

"Have you heard more from the kidnappers?" Skye asked.

"Not as in any official messages or notes; however, we are monitoring them, so we are aware of their conversations and plans."

Skye could feel some of the tension ease. Knowing that someone was on top of this and that they weren't at the complete mercy of the kidnappers was encouraging.

"We believe the best approach is to do this in two phases. They are holding Rilien off-site, so we believe we should rescue him first, before dealing with Claudius and Tiev. With the help of your team, we can get Rilien out easily. The people they've contracted are barely competent. Which is good for us. Once you get a time and place for the meeting, we'll back into a schedule for when to rescue him. That way when you're meeting with them, you'll have the confidence to know they have no leverage."

"Why even bother?" Garrett asked.

"Our people can't get inside their heads. They're too well protected. While we think we know their plans and what they hope to achieve - the Emperor wants to make sure we take no chances. It's possible there could be other players working with them or encouraging them. That will be your job and that of your psion, Prince Skye. Once you eliminate the rogue, you'll need to strip their minds."

"Um, not to be contrary, but Claudius is a Royal and the repercussions of treason wouldn't set well with me," Skye said.

"Thank you for reminding me," Cebrus said reaching into an inside pocket in his jacket. He pulled out a data crystal. "You'll want to keep this someplace safe after you've loaded it to your bio-comm. It contains licenses for the termination of both Claudius D'Or Drakken and Tiev D'Or Drakken. Sealed by Boch Nee, Speaker of the Assembly."

"The Assembly has already sentenced them?" Garrett asked in surprise.

"Yes, Your Majesty. And technically, Claudius is no longer a Royal - he renounced his claims years ago. But, with these, it doesn't matter. It also applies to anyone supporting them." Cebrus handed the crystal to Skye.

"So, you'll tell us what we're supposed to do?" Skye asked turning the crystal over in his fingers, looking at how it caught the light.

"Yes. And please be patient with us - we may be selective about who we tell details and will ask you to allow us to keep some of your people in the dark. We believe there may be more than one psion involved. So controlling who has which details is critical to our ultimate success. It may be that only you will know the full plan. To our understanding, you and perhaps your brother are the only ones capable of shielding out a psion."

"Now that Kwill is bonded, he should be able to also," Skye explained.

Thank you for remembering, Kwill whispered in his mind.

"That could be helpful. I'll make sure our coordinators know."

"That's it? That's all you're telling us?" Garrett asked.

"For now. Agents will be in touch to keep you updated, and we will tell you what you need to know when it's time." Cebrus stood and bowed to both of them before returning to the flit.

Skye watched the chameleon leave and turned to Garrett. "I'm not sure if I feel better or not?"

"They've got a plan and seems to me that they know a good deal of what's going on. He didn't come across as nervous or worried. Did you pick up anything from his thoughts?" Garrett asked.

"Confidence. That's about it, and he was being very careful not to think about details or plans. He had a few mantras he was repeating in his mind."

"Guess your secret's out then. You weren't sure if the chameleons realized you could read them."

More likely that they aren't taking chances with what I can do, than that they've figured out your abilities. How could they? You haven't been around enough of them to test it, Kwill sent.

"True." Skye looked at Garrett and noticed the strong curve of his jaw and how handsome his face was. He couldn't help but think about how could it would feel to taste the lips of his mate, and after all they had hours before it was time to eat. More than enough to get in some extra activities.

Garrett, would you mind joining me in one of those cabins you were telling me about? I need to make sure my membership in the 'mile-high' club stays current.

Mile high club?

An earth thing, acknowledging that you've had sex in an airplane - you know miles above the ground.

I like this club. So do you also have clubs for below the oceans, deep underground, in space or others?

Not that I've heard of.

We should start them. I'm fully committed to keeping you current in all the clubs. Garrett stood and reached out his hand to Skye.

By the time Skye and Garrett returned, Dillon and Vinci were delivering meals. Skye sat down and thanked Venci.

"How'd you get stuck with this duty?" Skye asked.

"I don't mind and thought you and the others would be more comfortable not having a stranger around. The flight attendant did all the work and prepped everything. Dillon and I are just handing them out."

"A man of many talents," Garrett said accepting a tray.

"I try." Venci put extra swivel in his hips as he left.

"Wow, it's good." Skye took another bite and realized he was really hungry. He had the meal polished off in short order.

Skye sat back and felt a mental caress from his mate.

I love you, babe. I really needed that.

The food? Skye asked.

No, your beautiful body all tangled up with mine. Have I mentioned how much I love your cute little ass.

Skye felt the heat rush to his face. Not in a couple of minutes. Have I mentioned how much I love yours? Or that gorgeous dick that seems to fit so perfectly inside me?

Not in a few minutes, no. Garrett gave Skye an ear to ear grin and reached out to squeeze his hand.

Skye? River's voice interrupted.

Hey, bro. You doing okay?

No. Thanks to you I think my dragons about to take over. Did you and Garrett have to get quite so 'into it?' Nik hasn't so much as blinked since we took off and I need some relief... soon.

Sorry. Um... so no, not really sorry. Garrett was... yeah. Anyway, Nik's in pretty bad shape, River. He needs the rest. Probably could use several days of sleep. Can one of the other guys?

I'm not you Skye. I can't read their minds and see who's already thinking about me or in the mood.

I have an idea. Can you hold out a few more minutes? Skye asked.

Make it quick.

Skye checked on Garrett to see his mate was lying back with his eyes closed. He mentally reached out to him. River needs some relief.

Sorry, babe. Some evil hot guy cornered me and milked me dry. I got nothing. I'm going to try and get some sleep so if he comes back, I'm ready.

Love you. Skye sent suppressing a laugh. He looked around the cabin and spotted the man he was looking for.

"Gregg, can I borrow you for a minute?" Skye called out. He watched as Gregg nervously approached.

"Sir?"

"Here, sit down with me." Skye scooted back, and to the side so while Gregg would be mostly on his lap, it would be more comfortable for both of them. "On your lap?"

"Yup." Skye wagged his eyebrows and patted his leg in invitation.

Gregg tentatively sat down and put his arm over Skye's shoulder to balance himself.

"How are you feeling?"

"Pretty good."

"Anyone give you grief, pick on you or make snide remarks about your masculinity?" Skye asked as he slid his hands up and down Gregg's thigh. He watched with pride as the bulge grew in Gregg's pants and his breathing quickened.

"No." Gregg gave a small smile.

Skye stroked the hard cock through Gregg's pants. "Do you remember?"

"Yes." Gregg's voice came out more like a gasp.

"What are the words, Gregg?"

"My cock belongs to you, sir."

"Take your clothes off and get back in my lap," Skye ordered.

"But..." Gregg looked around the cabin at this wing-mates. Some openly watching the scene playing out.

"Gregg," Skye repeated in a stern voice.

Gregg stripped off his clothes and then climbed back onto Skye's lap, a knee on either side of his thighs. His cock was at full attention.

Skye looked up at the shifter. He was sure it presented an odd picture. The bearded muscle man, straddling the younger blond man. Back on Earth, Skye would have been intimidated by someone who looked like Gregg. His rugged, masculine good looks, muscled body and perpetual scowl - he was the type Skye would have assumed would sooner beat him up than talk to him. Now, he looked at Skye with gentle adoration and from his thoughts, Skye new the buff hunk wanted him.

Gregg turned his head glancing nervously behind him.

"Hey, close your eyes and tell me what you 'feel,' not what you think is going on. Find the bond and tell me what you sense from them."

"Lust, apprehension, maybe hope?" Gregg said quietly.

"Anyone thinking you aren't a good alpha? That you aren't a man or masculine enough?" Skye ran his hands up and down Gregg's lightly furred chest, feeling the hard muscle and searching out his pink nipples.

Gregg gasped as Skye pinched his nibs before responding. "No."

Skye stroked Gregg's cock, admiring his size and shape. A drip of pre-cum bubbled up when he stroked. Skye caught it on his fingers and brought it to his lips. "You know, several of them are already fantasizing of having this inside them?"

Gregg didn't respond, but Skye felt his lust spike as he began to wonder which of his wing-mates wanted his cock. Skye also felt his confusion, the struggle between being flattered that his mates might want him to top, and the overwhelming need to take them into his body.

"It's okay to want both, Gregg." Skye caught the next drip and slid his hand under Gregg's heavy balls, gently teasing his opening.

Gregg gasped, and his head tipped back.

Skye put his fingers to Gregg's lips, and the wolf-shifter sucked them in, getting them wet for him. Skye slid his hand back down, finding the warm, silky opening and pushing his finger into the hot clenching ass. That's the way Gregg, take me in. Show me how much you want it. Skye used his telekinetic powers to begin massaging Gregg's passage. Relaxing him and opening him up while he massaged Gregg's prostate.

"Mmmm. More..." Gregg whispered.

"Tell me what you feel now from your mates. They were apprehensive because they were afraid about how you'd react."

"Lust, desire, need... oh, fuck."

"See, you're safe with us. They accept you, Gregg. Even better, they want you. Want to give you what you need. They will take care of you."

Gregg nodded, tears rolling down his cheeks.

"Now, about his hot, tight man-hole of yours."

"It belongs to you, Skye. It's yours to use or..." Gregg took a deep breath, "give away as you see fit."

Skye pulled Gregg down into a kiss. That's right, Gregg. Now, why don't you go back and find River. Take him to one of the cabins and let him give you what you need.

Gregg nodded and stood, looking around the cabin to find River.

"Kuai, can you help Gregg?" Skye asked seeing the Chinese Dragon walking by.

"Sure, come on sexy."

Skye settled back into his seat and reached out to River. Sending Gregg - he's more than ready and pretty desperate to be fucked. Just be gentle with him, he's not dragon so he'll take lube and prep.

Got it.

Skye closed his eyes and felt the warm appreciation from his dragon. It certainly wasn't what Skye would have expected, but it looked very hopeful that not only would Gregg fit well with the wing, they might be his salvation.

"This lap taken?" Kuai asked.

"Um... no?" Skye looked up to see Kuai smiling at him.

"Well, you let Gregg so I figured it's only fair." Kuai straddled Skye sitting on his legs and putting his hands on Skye's shoulders. "You think he'll be okay? It's so painful seeing a big, tough guy like that so petrified. I mean just because he likes taking it up the ass?"

"Once he can accept that what we're telling him is true and that we've got his back. I figure that Kwill and I might have to do some extra nudging, but we'll get him there."

"So who is Jasper?" Kuai asked.

"Pardon. How'd you?"

"Sometimes when I'm near I'll pick it up from you. Not much more, just a name or rather what I assume is a name."

"Yeah, he's someone I knew on Earth. My best friend actually."

"Huh... So was he your lover? Cause you usually start thinking about fucking me after his name comes up."

"No, just a friend." Skye hoped that counted as honest. They were just friends even if in hindsight it might have been more. River certainly thought Jasper was interested in him.

"So when you're with me, you're thinking of him?" Kuai pulled off his jacket and then his shirt, leaving his golden lean chest naked.

"No, of course not. He's of Asian background, but you don't really look alike. You just have a similar smile."

"Does his body feel like mine?" Kuai asked grabbing Skye's hands and holding them to his pecs.

"No. I mean we never... I don't know."

"Do his lips taste as good?" Kuai asked kissing Skye.

"Mmmm. I never..."

"Does he touch you like I do?"

Skye gasped as he felt Kuai's warm hand wrap around his cock. He hadn't even realized Kuai had opened his trousers and wasn't sure how the man had him exposed.

Kuai leaned in and licked up Skye's neck to his ear. "I'll take that as a no." Kuai whispered. "I don't mind you thinking of him if it gets you hot for me, but when we get to the real stuff. I only want you thinking of me."

Skye let out a moan as he felt himself slide into Kuai's hot dragon hole. The nubs stroking him as they pulled him in deep.

"You're thinking of me now aren't you?" Kuai asked as he began sliding up and down.

"God, yes." Skye wasn't sure how this happened, but damn was it hot. Kuai was so sexy, and he wasn't sure how the guy had even managed. As far as Skye could tell, the dragon still had his pants on. "How?"

Kuai leaned down and captured Skye's mouth. I believe in being prepared. Having a taylor modify some uniforms so they have strategic openings when needed isn't all that difficult.

Oh, God, Kuai. We need to hire that guy for the wing. I want some of those.

I do charge a service commission. I believe you should test all his work for me before making any rash decisions.

Skye didn't last long, but Kuai promised they could do a repeat whenever Skye wanted. It was even worth all the stares and looks he got from the other guys. Though Skye picked up that they were more upset with themselves for not thinking of it, or making their own moves than they were that Kuai got extra attention.

The flight continued on, and soon it was dark as they drew close to their destination. Skye decided that flying in luxury made the trip very different from his arrival on a military shuttle.

"Oh. My. God. Skye, you gotta see this! Come here!" River shouted looking out the window by his seat.

Skye quickly moved over and peered out beside his brother. "Wow. It doesn't even look real." Skye returned to his seat and looked out at the city coming into view. It was certainly like nothing he had ever seen, but even more, it wasn't like he imagined. It seemed to go on as far as he could see and the skyscrapers looked too tall to be real. Their shapes and design like someone had given an artist a challenge to create something so outlandish no one could build it.

"Skye. Skye! Come, quick!" River yelled.

"Holy cow! You can't even see the ground. And all those lights. Those holo's are bigger than the screens at the stadium and have you ever seen so many signs. It's like Times Square on steroids," Skye exclaimed.

"Or a really bad acid trip. I think it would give you a head ache. They have flying cars! Look Skye it's like a traffic jam in the sky. Wait, that isn't..."

"Shit, it is. A forty story light up dick. Why would you want a big penis on the side of your building. That's got to be considered tacky, even here."

"Guys, please take your seats, we're about to land at the pad for the resort," Venci said.

"Venci, there's a lit up cock on that building," Skye protested taking his seat.

"That's the Pleasure Dome. And no, you and River will under no circumstances be going anywhere near it."

"What's..."

Garrett sighed, coming out of his sleep. "No, Skye. Pater would have an absolute fit. The Pleasure Dome is the headquarters for the Pleasure Worker's union. It offers every conceivable physical pleasure, fantasy, or fetish you can imagine - for a price. While it is extremely secure and discreet, it offers things that border on legality."

"They also do offer some amazing experiences, some are supposed to be anonymous, but if you were to be seen going in, the media might 'assume' the worst. Not that some of the choices aren't completely legit," Venci added.

The transport rumbled and vibrated as they prepared to land.

"Guys, aren't we a bit high to be landing?" River asked nervously.

"We're landing on a pad, River. You do not want to be anywhere near the ground in Caris," Venci said.

Skye looked out the window and realized that they were high enough the clouds and traffic hid whatever might be below. No matter which direction he looked, there was no sign of the bottom. It gave him an odd chill. I wonder why... what's down there?
