Remember: Alex and Aro (boyxboy)

Chapter 49

"Good evening, mio caro." I slowly awaken, wrapped in the sheets, and straighten out my legs. The room is dark, no doubt it's getting into early evening, and I can see the beginnings of the moon shining through the window onto the floor. I turn to Aro as he rolls into me and lays his head on my chest. He lays a kiss on my cheek. I respond with a smile, and wrap an arm around him, pinning him against my torso.

Caius' eyes open beside me and he offers, a genuinely happy smile, no trace of irony or sardonic grin as usual which is a pleasant surprise. He stretches his arms above his head and slowly flops back down, resting under my arm. "Good evening." His voice is quiet. Aro re-positions himself and wraps his arms around my waist. His fingers reach towards Caius' hair to stroke it leisurely, Caius' back arches like a cat, it's satisfying to watch him writhe with pleasure. I look over my shoulder to Aro who grins. "Are you going to stroke my hair, too?" He smiles at my teasing, but Caius beats him to it, and turns, to run his fingers through my scalp.

I can't help but groan happily, the effect is therapeutic, paired with Aro's gentle kissing of my temple, I think I might fall back to sleep, but the covers are pulled back, revealing our almost bare bodies. It's a blissful tangle of arms and legs, wrapped around each other, warm and comfortable. I lay in the middle, Caius's fingers run through my hair, Aro's reciprocate on Caius' blonde head, and I wrap an arm each around both of them, stretching out my legs. I sigh contently. "So." I announce after a few minutes of therapeutic head scratching. "Is this weird for you?" I glance at the two of them. "Or are you both comfortable with this, too?"

Caius groans as Aro's fingers skim across his forehead. "I'm strangely comfortable." He admits. Aro murmurs in response. "Well as I said, it's about time you came to accept the truth, Caius." I wrap myself around Caius' slim waist. "All this time, you've liked men? What about your wife?" I feel Caius' body shift a little in discomfort but he doesn't pull away. "He's right Caius." Aro muses. "You have a duty to Athenadora to keep her happy and to give her respect."

Caius' shoulders stiffen. "I don't wish to speak about it." His voice turns hard, almost back to its usual, harsh self and I feel my heart sink. 'Do something, before he turns back into a mean girl.' Richard urges. I find the courage to just dive into it, and keeping my arms wrapped around his waist, start kissing his back and shoulders. He relaxes, and sinks against me. "It's okay." I utter between kisses. "We can talk about it another time, if you'd like."

Caius purrs softly, his head tilts back and so that his eyes meet mine. Our foreheads touch as he lays in my arms and he looks at me with an expression of longing, his hands reach to grab my face. 'You going to kiss him? Really? You're going to kiss him?' Richard interrupts the mood a little, but not enough to put me off. 'Are you sure that's a good idea?'

I look at Aro who is watching intensely, and he gives a swift nod of approval.

Then yes, I will.

Our lips touch for just a second or two, but it's enough to warm up my body and make my erection return, swelling in my underwear. Caius feels it dig into his back and he moans, with a smile, pulling me closer until he rolls onto his back, and hauls me on top of his body. I'm careful to kneel above him, placing both my knees either side of his waist, before pinning my elbows near his head and kissing him deeper. I feel Aro shift to get closer behind me, as his hand slips into my shorts and begins to handle my stiffness.

"Fuck." I lean back against Aro's chest, his arm wraps around, his hand gripping my erection tighter. "More, Alex?" He whispers in my ear darkly. I break apart from Caius' hungry mouth for just a second to respond. "Yes." Aro obeys immediately, as though he'd been expecting my 'yes'. Caius' hands travel around my waist and up along the length of my back, scratching my skin eagerly. I shift forward to straddle Caius' hips, and he bucks, groaning as we kiss further.
