As seemed to be the case for all of them, Xander was tempted to ask a follow-up question, but decided no one needed to dive into gnome genetic traits while setting up for a threesome, so he bit his tongue and instead whimpered softly when they played with his hair and Viktor outed him for his love of scalp massages.
Really, it was the love of Viktor playing with his hair in general, but he would not deny the assessment either way.
Xander let Viktor work on the removal of Barcus's clothing so there weren't too many hands getting in one another's way, so he settled on getting Viktor's pants undone, taking a moment to teasingly press his fingers to his still-clothed cock. Did he do it on purpose to test his focus? Maybe. He gave Barcus a small, slightly mischievous smile, while making sure he noted his response. Please, tell them what you like.
A couple whimpers escape the gnome's throat when he feels Viktor's hands undressing him. It's by no means a complaint, and he leans in a little to put himself in a better position for it. Feeling more secure in their comfort, he lets his hands start to wander, one resting on Viktor's knee, the other stroking the side of Xander's throat, smoothing his hair, trailing down his collarbones to his chest.
He's long since gotten used to lovers twice his size, in Caldera, but there's something especially intense about there being two of them right now. He likes it. Not so long ago, it would have been too intimidating to enjoy; perhaps that means he's developing more self-confidence.
Eyes half-lidded, he watches Xander turn to his lover and turn the tables on him without a word. Well, then! Catching Xander's eye with a bright look in return, he turns his attention to Viktor, as well, nestling closer to his side, skin to skin, small and wiry but solid. He's right about at chest level, which is bound to be advantageous, and returns the kiss to his shoulder by kissing the man's nearest nipple.
"Mnm. Ears are sensitive," he admits, kisses again. "And my throat. Lower back. I offered fellatio because I very much enjoy giving it, for the record."
His tongue traces a circle where he's been kissing, and he nuzzles a little lower down his ribcage, teasing while trying not to get in the way of Xander's activity, either.
The way Xander whimpers and fondles his cock through his clothing sends a surge of arousal through him, and it does make him falter momentarily, exhaling a shaky breath as his eyelids flutter slightly. He rolls his hips into the touch. And then Barcus kisses his nipple, which makes him gasp softly.
He almost doesn't register Barcus' answer to his question, too distracted by the gnome's tongue on that sensitive area. Goosebumps form all around his areola and up his neck, and he wraps an arm around Xander's shoulders again, gripping to brace himself.
But to his credit, he does take his mental notes, and immediately brushes a hand against Barcus' neck and up to his earlobe, where his fingertips play with it.
"I see..."
Perhaps that is what Barcus is working toward now, fellatio, as his kiss ventures lower. Viktor's brace is covering his ribcage almost entirely, so the next patch of exposed skin comes underneath, on his stomach. He continues to trace his fingertips over Barcus' scalp, the back of his head, behind his pointed ear, and along the shell of it.
"And that is what you'd like to do now?" He's never had a blowjob before, so he feels a little tentative, but if Barcus enjoys it so much, he's not going to object. He does, however, look to Xander, as though asking permission with his gaze.
Those are all spots he may have guessed if Barcus did not have an answer for them, but they were noted regardless. Xander hooked his arm around Viktor's waist; let his other hand dip past the open front of his trousers to grasp his cock and stroke, slow and purposeful, to rouse him fully.
There was something alluring in watching another man pleasure his partner, and by the time Viktor turned to ask his silent permission, Xander had already begun to imagine what Barcus might look like with Viktor's cock in his mouth — and, of course, what Viktor would look like when overcome with pleasure.
He kissed Viktor's cheek reassuringly and pulled his hand back. "I am fully in support of that." He purred. "But, if you would not mind, I think we need to readjust."
With that, Viktor would have to be without him for the few seconds it took for him to scoot back, remove the rest of his clothes, and then settle himself, sitting back against the pillows at the head of the bed. "Come here. Both of you." He reached for Viktor; tugged him back into his lap, helped him undress as well (unless he did so himself already), and then grabbed a bottle from the drawer beside his bed. His head dipped to kiss Viktor's shoulder. "I am right here, dear. Just relax."
Barcus seems to be losing some of his concentration under Viktor's touch. He continues to nuzzle and kiss wherever he can reach skin around the brace, but his eyes are closed now and his hands are trembling with barely-suppressed excitement. It's a thing that his other lovers have no doubt noted, though none others are here to comment on it. His hands, which are perfectly steady whenever he's at his workbench (an alchemist's must be), can hardly keep still when he's aroused.
He nods in answer to the question. "Something about...narrowing my focus to a single part of a person, I think." He explains, without ceasing with his gentle kisses, though after a second he turns his attention on Xander as if to make sure he knows he's included in the offer, delivering a kiss and a light nibble to his upper arm. "It's almost soothing."
Figures a craftsman might enjoy sex as a different kind of detailed endeavor.
He makes a vague mm? sound at the comment about readjusting, straightening to see what they have in mind. Physical accommodations for sex are certainly not new to him, given the size difference between him and his other lovers.
Head tilted to watch with soft-eyed interest, he hangs back for a moment and watches them undress and reposition, and--well, hells, it's not like anyone said he had to keep his pants on, so he finishes stripping as well, kicking his clothes to the floor. He's small, more wiry than muscular, but there are cords of muscle in his forearms and upper back from his work, and a little more softness in his thighs and ass than one would notice when he's clothed. Tunics and leather aprons cover a lot.
"Now, how can I assist, without being too distracting?" he says with humor in his voice, already guessing where this is going. "Xander, if you're getting Viktor ready to take you, maybe I ought to help get your cock wet first, then handle his?"
(Where does that leave him, save hard and wanting? He doesn't care right now, this is exactly where he wanted to be.)
Oh, these men. Xander stroking him with such certainty along with Barcus' sweet and feathery kisses makes Viktor exhale a pleasured sigh and close his eyes for a moment. It takes a lot for him to fully let go of his inhibitions, but he is getting there.
Far be it from him to argue with Xander about positioning; he's very smart about that. Well, he's smart about everything, but seems to have a knack for what will work best for their bodily limitations. He removes his pants and underclothes and discards them before crawling into his partner's lap again, loathe to part from him for long. Feeling Xander's warmth cradling his backside, the kiss to his shoulder and the reassurance makes him feel safe and loved beyond measure, and for a moment he can't believe how lucky he is.
He watches Barcus with lidded eyes, taking in the gnome's body. He and Barcus are so cerebral and practical that Viktor's mind hadn't wandered much to his physique before, but now that it's right here before him, he loves what he sees. His skin tone is beautiful, and the way his lean muscles dive into curves nearly makes Viktor's mouth water.
But, wait, what? Getting him ready to take him? Viktor blushes as he realizes that he is not as in charge as he thought, and the two men have been silently planning to overwhelm him, right under his nose.
He can't argue with the plan, however. It sounds divine. Viktor will reluctantly move off of Xander's lap as much as needed to make space for Barcus to pleasure his partner. He opens his arms to Barcus. As the gnome draws near, Viktor will touch him again, one metal and one flesh hand caressing and tracing his curves. Given how awkward Viktor can be with other things, one might not expect his touch to have such flowing grace, such gentle intention, but it would seem he's as good with the soft curve of skin as he is with fine workings of metal. Soon his hands travel downward, giving his plump ass an experimental squeeze before giving attention to his lower back, rubbing gentle circles over the scars there.
Xander's instincts as a physician always had him observing people and how their bodies moved. Here, in Caldera, he was observing the different builds of various species, too, including the deep gnome that he saw on a regular basis. So maybe he had scoped out his ass a few times when he bent over to work on something... for purely practical and scientific reasons. Yes.
Barcus caught on fast — but they had apparently plotted well enough even without speaking that Viktor had been slightly thrown off by the revelation. Xander chuckled softly and laid another kiss upon Viktor's cheek, feeling the heat that radiated from his skin. He was so sweet Xander was sure he could feel his teeth aching.
"That is a fine idea." He did not want to part from him, but Barcus's plan was a good one, and Viktor seemed inclined to agree. So he relented, but only enough to free his lap and allow the gnome a clear shot to his intended target — unsurprisingly, Xander was hard, the tip of his cock seeping with precum that glistened in the flickering firelight of the room. He leaned over to catch Viktor's chin in a deep, slow kiss that ended with a drag of teeth along his lower lip; while his other hand moved to stroke the length of one of Barcus's ears when he drew closer.
It's going to be a useful warm-up for Barcus, as well. He's practiced, at this point, in giving head to men twice his size--it's not impossible, it's just a learning curve that goes halfway down his throat--but the motion of Xander bouncing Viktor on his lap, no matter how gentle, is likely to be a bit more intense than your usual blowjob. A challenge he looks forward to.
He moves close again, reveling in the fact that he's between their bodies, without actually blocking off their touch from one another: there's the real advantage of being smaller. The way Viktor touches him makes him moan, swaying slightly as if the sweet finesse makes him want to collapse beneath those caresses and surrender. But that would interrupt the work he's assigned himself, and he can't be having with that.
He settles halfway across Xander's thighs, leaning down to nip lightly at the angle of his hipbones and the crease of his groin, just warming him with his breath before he takes him in hand. The way he strokes the length of his cock is rich with admiration, but also analytical, as if he's estimating breadth and weight and forming a plan of attack. Leave it to a gnome.
Delicate fingers catch that drop of precum, spreading it and slicking him down, before Barcus opens his mouth wide and licks, root to tip, with the flat of his tongue. No rush, here. The point isn't to make him come, after all. Not yet. Just to please him and make sure he's ready for further action.
Viktor moves just to Xander's side, close enough that his lover can reach his ass for preparation if he likes, still leaning against his chest. Just the deep, intentional kiss from his partner coaxes a soft noise from him. He's starting to hope Barcus doesn't feel like a third wheel, given how smitten the two are with one another.
At least he enjoys Viktor's touches, and while he doesn't want to distract him from what he's so intent on accomplishing here, he does think the gnome deserves some attention. Besides, he wants to watch his friend's technique, of course, and watch Xander's reactions. He continues to rub his back in slow figure-eights as Barcus strokes and teases Xander. It is arousing to watch, Viktor now fully hard as well. Then he gently takes Barcus' cock in hand, stroking the shaft slowly. His other hand touches the nape of Xander's neck, fingers tangling in curls there.
Don't threesome with a couple if you can't handle how disgusting they are. That said — Barcus did not seem to mind overmuch from Xander's point of view, and he was fairly confident they were divvying up affection well between them.
The intention in keeping Viktor close was to prep him; however, the feeling of Barcus's hand and mouth on him was a pretty prominent distraction. Xander's hips jerked, heels dug into the sheets to steel himself. "Father above..." he muttered under his breath. It had been a hot minute since someone had their mouth on his cock, so he might need a second.
Viktor's touch was calming enough, and he leaned back into it with a sigh, finally able to reach a hand back for the bottle of lube and pour some onto his fingers, which he delicately slid between Viktor's cheeks and up against his hole.
Third wheel? Hardly. At worst, he feels like a novelty they're sharing between them--which is actually very hot, so maybe it's at best. Regardless, he's getting more than enough attention to leave him hard even before Viktor's caresses.
Xander's little muttered prayer earns a breathy chuckle. He'll take that as a compliment, drawing back just long enough for the air to cool the wetness his licking has left behind, before diving in again. Cool. Warm. Hot, as he takes the head of his cock into his mouth and sucks.
Meanwhile, Viktor's hand finds his own erection and he makes a faint whimper of approval and spreads his legs further apart helpfully.
Viktor also smiles at Xander's reaction. Easy to please, this one.
"I think he will understand," he murmurs wryly to Xander.
Viktor's eyes widen slightly, however, as he watches Barcus take Xander's cock in his mouth. He looks... Well, like an expert. Xander will be putty in the gnome's hands shortly, without a doubt, and that thought makes Viktor briefly jealous of both men. But then he remembers that Barcus intends to do the same to him, and that quells it a little. Still, there's a fire of anticipation in his gut as he inhales deeply, shifting to give Xander better access to his hole.
His own deft hand continues stimulating Barcus, thumb circling around the head of his cock before stroking the shaft with more pressure and finesse, wrist working for a perfect angle. His fingers delicately fondle his friend's testicles, as his other hand continues to play with Xander's hair and lightly massage the back of his neck. All the while, he continues watching Barcus work, making mental notes of his technique so that hopefully, whenever he gets to suck Xander's cock, he might be half as good.
He had been testing the Father's patience and forgiveness for months now. What was a little more? Xander moaned and tilted his head back a little more, leaned into the pillows and Viktor's hand, eyes shut. He needed to keep his wits about him still.
His finger worked slow circles around the puckered hole of Viktor's ass, pressing the tip in slowly. His other hand shifted to rest atop Barcus's head — lamenting the lack of hair now himself, but making due with a press of his palm against the back of his skull. He did not shove — but the gnome would feel the firm press of his fingertips, urging him to take more.
Once again, Barcus sways slightly, resisting the urge to collapse into dual sources of pleasure and let them pull him apart. In spite of it, he manages to keep his focus, but the little gasps and moans he's making may just add to the stimulation Xander's receiving from his mouth. He wasn't lying about enjoying this activity in particular.
His own hands looks smaller as it wraps around the base of Xander's cock, but he only takes a second to appreciate that contrast (and bronze skin beneath stone-gray fingers) before obeying that gentle suggestion. His head dips lower, deeper, more, stills for a moment and then pulls back with a wet, salacious pop.
Only a second to catch his breath before he goes in again, swallowing, until the tip of his nose almost brushes Xander's body.
Viktor would be doing a number on Xander's neck right now, were he not so engrossed in watching what Barcus is doing. The way his partner presses on the back of his head to facilitate the gnome taking more of him into his mouth, down his throat. He's in awe of it, really; he's never... Seen a blowjob in his life, and Barcus is a small man, so taking so much of it in his mouth is impressive.
He makes a soft yearning sound as Xander enters him, arching his back (as much as he physically can) to give better access and press himself into his fingers. He is trying to stay patient, but he wants more. All the while, he continues to stroke Barcus, and presses wet little kisses to his lover's chest as he observes.
"You're very good at this, Barcus," he murmurs. Some praise is in order, surely.
It was impressive, given Xander's size — certainly not lacking in endowments — in comparison to the gnome. The feeling of his mouth, and then his throat, tight and warm and constricting around him, made Xander's hips jerk. He murmured an apology for the sudden roughness, and kneaded his fingers into Barcus's skull.
He was getting dangerously aroused now, however, between the talented lips around his cock that vibrated with every sound he made, and Viktor's own keening and kissing.
"I think that — that is enough." He managed to pant, fingers still working his lover open, even as they trembled. He slowly eased his hand off Barcus's head. "Father's light." He murmured with a sigh.
Barcus shivers and rocks his own hips into Viktor's touch, a reaction to the praise that's half involuntary pleasure and half acknowledgement. Never doubt he has made a study of this; his research methodologies are very thorough. He has notes!
This is the best peer review he's received from fellow scholars in quite a long while!
Meanwhile, the sudden movement from Xander makes his eyes water, but otherwise he handles it with aplomb, patting his hip in reassurance. So focused is he that he would probably just go on until told otherwise at this point, so it takes him a second to recognize that that is enough applies to him. He's slow to withdraw, too, but that's for his own sake. He makes a couple coughs as he pulls back and rubs the back of one hand across the teary corners of his eyes, like a cat grooming.
"Mmn," he manages, licking his lips. "'f course. Pardon me for being greedy." He's a little hoarse.
He gives Viktor an almost sultry look as he moves aside to make space for him. Do go on, gentlemen.
Xander's expert fingers begin to distract Viktor, making him melt against his partner's chest and exhale a few soft moans, stroking Barcus more languidly. He can tell by Xander's incredibly arousing reaction that he's getting too close, so it's good that Barcus stops when he does, or they will have a spent and sleepy Xander on their hands instead of the planned activity.
The coughs draw Viktor's attention back to his small friend, and he looks up at him with concern, reaching for his face. He uses the back of his own hand to help wipe the tears, then caress Barcus' cheek.
"I think you rather generous," Viktor murmurs. As Barcus moves aside, he turns back to Xander and kisses his cheek.
"Will you guide me?" He isn't quite sure how to best position himself to make this work. He moves into Xander's lap, but isn't sure if he should kneel, sit, crouch, or something else.
"I am inclined to agree." Xander said breathlessly, the faint hint of a wheeze heard on the exhale. He took a moment to gather himself — and to finish his preparation if his partner — before he pulled his hand back. Barcus had done a fine job slicking his cock, but he dribbled some more lubricant on just in case, reaching for Viktor afterwards.
"I'm going to lower you onto me. Sit with your legs spread." He instructed and braced his partner as best he could, back to chest, with one hand, the other steadying his cock as he lined up with his hole. Once the head slipped in snuggly, he gripped Viktor's ass and helped ease him down, all the while whispering softly in his ear. "Just like that. Good... good. You're taking me so well, Viktor." He glanced to Barcus with a wink, indicating he could move once Viktor settled in this lap.
The tears were just an involuntary reaction, nothing born from emotion, but Viktor touches him, brushes them away, and something in Barcus melts. His eyes drift closed with the affectionate murmur, and he smiles, saying nothing. It feels good.
Of course, the next step is not to be missed, and he refocuses his face when they start to move. His pupils are wide, darkening his pale eyes. "The picture the two of you make," he says, voice low and pleased and a little raspy. "Stunning together."
He bites his tongue then, watching the two of them and reaching to stroke them idly, each in turn, along the side or arm, as if to comfort them.
Xander's praise isn't even directed at him and it still gives the gnome goosebumps. He can only imagine the thrill it must fill Viktor with. He grins a little, watching their faces, and moves closer once again after Viktor is fully seated.
Rather than dive right in immediately, he embraces him gently around the waist, giving him a chance to adjust to the stretch, the feel of being held and admired by two pairs of hands at once.
"Breathe, darling," he reminds Xander, with a small, knowing smile. His partner can get a little overwhelmed at times like this, and it's a reminder to himself as well, to relax as he's penetrated.
His movements to lift himself up are fairly awkward, but he's guided and held by his lover. Barcus assures him that he looks good, which is completely unexpected, but nice. He's still getting used to compliments that aren't related to his work or his mind.
There's one of the first big cracks in Viktor's mask of careful control as he's lowered and Xander gives him that hushed praise. A thrill is correct. He tries to take slow, even breaths, but they inevitably hitch loudly as he's filled with his partner's hot girth. He exhales an ah of flustered pleasure and throws his head back against Xander's shoulder, exposing his bony throat, fluttering with heavy breaths.
"Oh, Xander..."
He'd missed this feeling, having his lover deep inside of him, pressing up against that spot that makes him see the stars. Yet untouched, his cock throbs, pre-come oozing from the tip. For two skinny, feeble men, it seems both of them are remarkably substantive below the belt.
One arm loosely wraps around the back of Xander's neck, and his other hand finds Barcus' shoulder as he lifts his head to look at him with lidded eyes and parted lips. He's caught, no, secured between the two mens' strong and skilled hands, like a precious jewel, held up for all to behold.
Viktor has never felt attractive in his life. Is this what it feels like?
He takes one more breath, drinking in this moment, but he can only last so long before his anticipation devours him.
Breathe, he said, like it was so easy to do with a beautiful man slowly settling into his lap and breathing out his name like a prayer. He tried, however, to inhale deep and exhale slow, lips pressed to Viktor's shoulder as he fully settled. He was convinced he would never get tired of the feeling of the tight heat of him wrapped around his cock, nor the way every movement made him want to lose control and drive into him until he was screaming in ecstacy.
Xander willed himself go remain steadfast, for now, a hand sliding up Viktor's chest and up to rest against his collarbone, thumb brushing his throat while his other hand reached for Barcus to playfully toy with his ear. He rolled his hips up into his partner.
"I am jealous, I think," he purred against the side of Viktor's neck, "that Barcus might have the best view of all of us."
Perhaps, between the three of them, between scars and illness and other glaring physical differences with most of the people around them, perhaps none of them is used to being admired and handled like a treasure. Each would insist the other two deserve it, though. By all means, please allow Barcus to help.
"Irresistible," he says softly, and he means the both of them, but it's Viktor's body that's most available to him, and so he straightens up and runs the palms of his hands down his front, gentle and reverent over the brace and the metal, more firm on bare skin. "I can practically read your pulse from the way your cock is twitching, Viktor."
He kneads his thighs briefly, then moves to kneel between their parted legs--which really is an advantageous place, Xander's right, what a view! He gives the man a wink and nods of acknowledgement and then busies himself with stroking Viktor's cock, once, twice, and sinking down to take the head into his mouth. He stays still for a second, all wet heat and the ripple of his tongue against the underside of the shaft, just to see how he'll respond.
"Oh, stop." He murmurs a scolding to Xander, but he's smiling faintly. Barcus continues to praise as well, paying his body more attention, and then that comment... Well, all of it makes Viktor blush, feeling exposed and on display and somewhat embarrassed. But it's also... A nice revelation, to see Barcus admire him so openly, metal parts and all. He still has a lingering sense that any sexual attention paid to him (other than by Xander) must be done out of some sense of pity or obligation, but he tries not to focus his thoughts there, instead accepting and enjoying what's being offered.
"I..." He breathlessly attempts to find some sort of excuse for his wanton arousal, something to say that would make it seem like he still has his wits about him. Problem being, his wits are nowhere to be found. He feels closer to begging than anything else. He is at their mercy, and they haven't even begun in earnest, yet.
And then Barcus' hand and mouth are on his cock, and it's so warm and wet and pleasant that he gasps an oh. His head falls back onto Xander again, and though caught between them, he realizes he still has some agency- should he move his hips at all, he will receive sensation on both sides. So, while his hip mobility isn't the best, he tries to arch his back and rock them forward and back. The movement makes him gasp and moan again.
"Oh, please..." He whispers. There it is, the begging.
Xander's gaze wandered briefly to the wall opposite the bed, absently wondering as to the benefits of a mirror there. It wouldn't do much save give him a view of Barcus's backside at the moment (which was nothing to scoff at, clearly), but if he and Viktor decided to try this position again—
Viktor's voice broke him out of that daydream, as did the way he shifted his hips. Xander brushed his lips against Viktor's ear. "You're doing so well, love." He whispered, breath hot against his skin. He rocked his own hips up to offer some friction, pushing Viktor up into the gnome's mouth a little more. "I'd ask Barcus how you taste, but it's rude to talk with your mouth full." Joking? Now? Forgive him.

Xander let Viktor work on the removal of Barcus's clothing so there weren't too many hands getting in one another's way, so he settled on getting Viktor's pants undone, taking a moment to teasingly press his fingers to his still-clothed cock. Did he do it on purpose to test his focus? Maybe. He gave Barcus a small, slightly mischievous smile, while making sure he noted his response. Please, tell them what you like.

Given how awkward Viktor can be with other things, one might not expect his touch to have such flowing grace, such gentle intention, but it would seem he's as good with the soft curve of skin as he is with fine workings of metal. Soon his hands travel downward, giving his plump ass an experimental squeeze before giving attention to his lower back, rubbing gentle circles over the scars there.

Barcus caught on fast — but they had apparently plotted well enough even without speaking that Viktor had been slightly thrown off by the revelation. Xander chuckled softly and laid another kiss upon Viktor's cheek, feeling the heat that radiated from his skin. He was so sweet Xander was sure he could feel his teeth aching.
"That is a fine idea." He did not want to part from him, but Barcus's plan was a good one, and Viktor seemed inclined to agree. So he relented, but only enough to free his lap and allow the gnome a clear shot to his intended target — unsurprisingly, Xander was hard, the tip of his cock seeping with precum that glistened in the flickering firelight of the room. He leaned over to catch Viktor's chin in a deep, slow kiss that ended with a drag of teeth along his lower lip; while his other hand moved to stroke the length of one of Barcus's ears when he drew closer.

He moves close again, reveling in the fact that he's between their bodies, without actually blocking off their touch from one another: there's the real advantage of being smaller. The way Viktor touches him makes him moan, swaying slightly as if the sweet finesse makes him want to collapse beneath those caresses and surrender. But that would interrupt the work he's assigned himself, and he can't be having with that.
He settles halfway across Xander's thighs, leaning down to nip lightly at the angle of his hipbones and the crease of his groin, just warming him with his breath before he takes him in hand. The way he strokes the length of his cock is rich with admiration, but also analytical, as if he's estimating breadth and weight and forming a plan of attack. Leave it to a gnome.
Delicate fingers catch that drop of precum, spreading it and slicking him down, before Barcus opens his mouth wide and licks, root to tip, with the flat of his tongue. No rush, here. The point isn't to make him come, after all. Not yet. Just to please him and make sure he's ready for further action.
no subject
At least he enjoys Viktor's touches, and while he doesn't want to distract him from what he's so intent on accomplishing here, he does think the gnome deserves some attention. Besides, he wants to watch his friend's technique, of course, and watch Xander's reactions. He continues to rub his back in slow figure-eights as Barcus strokes and teases Xander. It is arousing to watch, Viktor now fully hard as well. Then he gently takes Barcus' cock in hand, stroking the shaft slowly. His other hand touches the nape of Xander's neck, fingers tangling in curls there.
no subject
The intention in keeping Viktor close was to prep him; however, the feeling of Barcus's hand and mouth on him was a pretty prominent distraction. Xander's hips jerked, heels dug into the sheets to steel himself. "Father above..." he muttered under his breath. It had been a hot minute since someone had their mouth on his cock, so he might need a second.
Viktor's touch was calming enough, and he leaned back into it with a sigh, finally able to reach a hand back for the bottle of lube and pour some onto his fingers, which he delicately slid between Viktor's cheeks and up against his hole.
no subject
Xander's little muttered prayer earns a breathy chuckle. He'll take that as a compliment, drawing back just long enough for the air to cool the wetness his licking has left behind, before diving in again. Cool. Warm. Hot, as he takes the head of his cock into his mouth and sucks.
Meanwhile, Viktor's hand finds his own erection and he makes a faint whimper of approval and spreads his legs further apart helpfully.
no subject
"I think he will understand," he murmurs wryly to Xander.
Viktor's eyes widen slightly, however, as he watches Barcus take Xander's cock in his mouth. He looks... Well, like an expert. Xander will be putty in the gnome's hands shortly, without a doubt, and that thought makes Viktor briefly jealous of both men. But then he remembers that Barcus intends to do the same to him, and that quells it a little. Still, there's a fire of anticipation in his gut as he inhales deeply, shifting to give Xander better access to his hole.
His own deft hand continues stimulating Barcus, thumb circling around the head of his cock before stroking the shaft with more pressure and finesse, wrist working for a perfect angle. His fingers delicately fondle his friend's testicles, as his other hand continues to play with Xander's hair and lightly massage the back of his neck. All the while, he continues watching Barcus work, making mental notes of his technique so that hopefully, whenever he gets to suck Xander's cock, he might be half as good.
no subject
His finger worked slow circles around the puckered hole of Viktor's ass, pressing the tip in slowly. His other hand shifted to rest atop Barcus's head — lamenting the lack of hair now himself, but making due with a press of his palm against the back of his skull. He did not shove — but the gnome would feel the firm press of his fingertips, urging him to take more.
no subject
His own hands looks smaller as it wraps around the base of Xander's cock, but he only takes a second to appreciate that contrast (and bronze skin beneath stone-gray fingers) before obeying that gentle suggestion. His head dips lower, deeper, more, stills for a moment and then pulls back with a wet, salacious pop.
Only a second to catch his breath before he goes in again, swallowing, until the tip of his nose almost brushes Xander's body.
no subject
He makes a soft yearning sound as Xander enters him, arching his back (as much as he physically can) to give better access and press himself into his fingers. He is trying to stay patient, but he wants more. All the while, he continues to stroke Barcus, and presses wet little kisses to his lover's chest as he observes.
"You're very good at this, Barcus," he murmurs. Some praise is in order, surely.
no subject
He was getting dangerously aroused now, however, between the talented lips around his cock that vibrated with every sound he made, and Viktor's own keening and kissing.
"I think that — that is enough." He managed to pant, fingers still working his lover open, even as they trembled. He slowly eased his hand off Barcus's head. "Father's light." He murmured with a sigh.
no subject
This is the best peer review he's received from fellow scholars in quite a long while!
Meanwhile, the sudden movement from Xander makes his eyes water, but otherwise he handles it with aplomb, patting his hip in reassurance. So focused is he that he would probably just go on until told otherwise at this point, so it takes him a second to recognize that that is enough applies to him. He's slow to withdraw, too, but that's for his own sake. He makes a couple coughs as he pulls back and rubs the back of one hand across the teary corners of his eyes, like a cat grooming.
"Mmn," he manages, licking his lips. "'f course. Pardon me for being greedy." He's a little hoarse.
He gives Viktor an almost sultry look as he moves aside to make space for him. Do go on, gentlemen.
no subject
The coughs draw Viktor's attention back to his small friend, and he looks up at him with concern, reaching for his face. He uses the back of his own hand to help wipe the tears, then caress Barcus' cheek.
"I think you rather generous," Viktor murmurs. As Barcus moves aside, he turns back to Xander and kisses his cheek.
"Will you guide me?" He isn't quite sure how to best position himself to make this work. He moves into Xander's lap, but isn't sure if he should kneel, sit, crouch, or something else.
no subject
"I'm going to lower you onto me. Sit with your legs spread." He instructed and braced his partner as best he could, back to chest, with one hand, the other steadying his cock as he lined up with his hole. Once the head slipped in snuggly, he gripped Viktor's ass and helped ease him down, all the while whispering softly in his ear. "Just like that. Good... good. You're taking me so well, Viktor." He glanced to Barcus with a wink, indicating he could move once Viktor settled in this lap.
no subject
Of course, the next step is not to be missed, and he refocuses his face when they start to move. His pupils are wide, darkening his pale eyes. "The picture the two of you make," he says, voice low and pleased and a little raspy. "Stunning together."
He bites his tongue then, watching the two of them and reaching to stroke them idly, each in turn, along the side or arm, as if to comfort them.
Xander's praise isn't even directed at him and it still gives the gnome goosebumps. He can only imagine the thrill it must fill Viktor with. He grins a little, watching their faces, and moves closer once again after Viktor is fully seated.
Rather than dive right in immediately, he embraces him gently around the waist, giving him a chance to adjust to the stretch, the feel of being held and admired by two pairs of hands at once.
no subject
His movements to lift himself up are fairly awkward, but he's guided and held by his lover. Barcus assures him that he looks good, which is completely unexpected, but nice. He's still getting used to compliments that aren't related to his work or his mind.
There's one of the first big cracks in Viktor's mask of careful control as he's lowered and Xander gives him that hushed praise. A thrill is correct. He tries to take slow, even breaths, but they inevitably hitch loudly as he's filled with his partner's hot girth. He exhales an ah of flustered pleasure and throws his head back against Xander's shoulder, exposing his bony throat, fluttering with heavy breaths.
"Oh, Xander..."
He'd missed this feeling, having his lover deep inside of him, pressing up against that spot that makes him see the stars. Yet untouched, his cock throbs, pre-come oozing from the tip. For two skinny, feeble men, it seems both of them are remarkably substantive below the belt.
One arm loosely wraps around the back of Xander's neck, and his other hand finds Barcus' shoulder as he lifts his head to look at him with lidded eyes and parted lips. He's caught, no, secured between the two mens' strong and skilled hands, like a precious jewel, held up for all to behold.
Viktor has never felt attractive in his life. Is this what it feels like?
He takes one more breath, drinking in this moment, but he can only last so long before his anticipation devours him.
"I'm ready." Ready to become undone.
no subject
Xander willed himself go remain steadfast, for now, a hand sliding up Viktor's chest and up to rest against his collarbone, thumb brushing his throat while his other hand reached for Barcus to playfully toy with his ear. He rolled his hips up into his partner.
"I am jealous, I think," he purred against the side of Viktor's neck, "that Barcus might have the best view of all of us."
no subject
"Irresistible," he says softly, and he means the both of them, but it's Viktor's body that's most available to him, and so he straightens up and runs the palms of his hands down his front, gentle and reverent over the brace and the metal, more firm on bare skin. "I can practically read your pulse from the way your cock is twitching, Viktor."
He kneads his thighs briefly, then moves to kneel between their parted legs--which really is an advantageous place, Xander's right, what a view! He gives the man a wink and nods of acknowledgement and then busies himself with stroking Viktor's cock, once, twice, and sinking down to take the head into his mouth. He stays still for a second, all wet heat and the ripple of his tongue against the underside of the shaft, just to see how he'll respond.
no subject
"I..." He breathlessly attempts to find some sort of excuse for his wanton arousal, something to say that would make it seem like he still has his wits about him. Problem being, his wits are nowhere to be found. He feels closer to begging than anything else. He is at their mercy, and they haven't even begun in earnest, yet.
And then Barcus' hand and mouth are on his cock, and it's so warm and wet and pleasant that he gasps an oh. His head falls back onto Xander again, and though caught between them, he realizes he still has some agency- should he move his hips at all, he will receive sensation on both sides. So, while his hip mobility isn't the best, he tries to arch his back and rock them forward and back. The movement makes him gasp and moan again.
"Oh, please..." He whispers. There it is, the begging.
no subject
Viktor's voice broke him out of that daydream, as did the way he shifted his hips. Xander brushed his lips against Viktor's ear. "You're doing so well, love." He whispered, breath hot against his skin. He rocked his own hips up to offer some friction, pushing Viktor up into the gnome's mouth a little more. "I'd ask Barcus how you taste, but it's rude to talk with your mouth full." Joking? Now? Forgive him.
