Learning To Live With It

Gingi knew that he had been the one to say that it was alright for Shido to join them in their bed, but it had been rather spur of the moment, he hadn’t given it a whole lot of thought before saying yes. All of the other decisions about Shido and Ban he had thought out very carefully. Still, it wasn’t as if Shido was a stranger to him. Shido had been one of the four Emperors for the better part of five years, and he’d been Ban’s lover for some time now.

But seeing him with Ban was still a little strange, especially when Gingi came upon them suddenly and Shido was holding or kissing Ban. Not that they did that often outside of the bedroom. Theirs wasn’t a love-love kind of relationship, all sloppy and sappy Mostly, they just held hands. Shido appeared to like to hold hands, as if assuring himself that Ban was there. It seemed as if he needed the tactile contact.

Actually, it was kind of cute, but Gingi didn’t think he’d share that tidbit of information with the two of them, as it might get him beaten up by one or both of them. So he smothered the grin and the giggle while Ban eyed him suspiciously.

They spent that first day hanging out at the apartment, silently agreeing that it was for the best that on this day they try to adjust to being around each other. Ban and Shido had bickered good-naturedly with each other over every little thing. All in all, it had been an interesting day. Gingi had enjoyed watching all of the little by-play between Shido and Ban as they tried to adjust to being around each other for so long without either fighting or having a bed come between them. Then it was bed time.

They had moved the bed from the room that Shido had taken over into the one that Gingi and Ban shared so that they had one big bed for the three of them together.

“Well,” said Ban, “I’m going to go take a shower.”

And with that, he grabbed a robe and departed, leaving Shido and Gingi standing awkwardly together in the bedroom. Gingi could almost swear he saw just the slightest hint of a smile on Ban’s face as he left.

Finally, Shido just started to strip. Gingi hesitated for only a minute before following suite. When Shido had shed everything, he paused for a moment before getting into the bed and Gingi got a good look at Shido’s highly aroused body. This was the first time Gingi had actually seen Shido naked. His jaw dropped. Shido was huge! How did Ban take all of that? No wonder he screamed.

“See something you like?” Shido smirked as he noticed Gingi staring at him, his hand dropping down to stroke himself a couple of times. “You can give it a try. Ban probably won’t mind too much. There’s enough for both of you.”

“Shido!” Gingi exclaimed, turning bright red.

Gingi quickly shed the rest of his clothes and dived into the bed to hide under the covers, trying to block out Shido’s laughter. Damn Shido! About then Ban came back in to save him from further harassment. Gingi peeked out from under the blanket.

Ban’s dark hair curled wetly around his neck and the robe clung suggestively to his damp body. He paused for a moment in the doorway.

Shido smiled slowly, then patted the bed beside himself invitingly.

“Come over here, lover, I’ve been waiting,” said the beast master in a low, soft voice.

Ban dropped the robe just as the light went out, giving the two in the bed just a flash of his naked body. Shido growled deep in the back of his throat, an untamed, primal sound. Gingi just moaned softly. Ban moved silently to the bed, his body glistening in the moonlight, but before he could get in, Shido reached out and grabbed him by the arm, throwing him down face first into the middle of the bed.

Gingi expected Ban to explode at this treatment, but he only leaned up on one elbow and looked over his shoulder at Shido.

“Not so rough, monkey tamer,” said Ban, softly, as he rolled to his side, facing Shido.

Shido growled again and reached for him, but Ban put a hand against his chest. The beast master halted, showing great restraint.

“We need to think about Gingi now, Shido, and yes, you have your mark on my body, but Gingi has his vow sealed on my heart. So, let’s play nice,” said Ban seriously.

Gingi crawled out from beneath the blanket he was hiding under to sit up next to Ban. Ban reached out an arm to put it around Gingi’s neck and draw him in close for a nice, long kiss. Gingi could hear the deep, ominous growl coming from Shido, but Ban just put a hand against Shido’s chest again, gently restraining him.

After Ban felt he had made his point by kissing Gingi long enough, he broke from the kiss and leaned back.

“Now, you two, decide. Who goes first? And be nice about it,” said Ban blandly, waiting.

Shido and Gingi just stared at each other over Ban’s pale, slender body, both wanting it badly. The Gingi did what was probably the noblest thing he’d ever done in his life. He bowed to the beast master.

“You go first, Shido. I’ll wait,” said Gingi softly, moving away from Ban.

“You mean it? Really?” Shido almost sounded childish in his excitement.

“Yeah, Shido, I mean it. You first,” said Gingi.

There were no more words for Shido as he reached for Ban, his eyes gleaming and feral. He rolled his lover to his stomach, and Ban, moving easily under Shido’s hand, raised his hips, while Shido generously anointed the both of them with a sweet, candy-scented lubricant, quickly but efficiently preparing Ban for entry. Ban was soon panting and pushing back against Shido’s hand. Pulling Ban’s knees up under him, Shido moved behind him and gently spread his legs, poising himself at the entrance of Ban’s body, waiting until Ban pushed back against him. As Shido slid easily into his waiting body, he reached down and pulled Ban up until he was on his knees, back against Shido’s chest, both of their bodies tight against each other. Shido had his left arm around Ban’s chest, while his right hand caresses the tight abdomen. Ban arched his head to the side and Shido’s mouth found his neck, teeth sinking into the place where he had left his mark so long ago. Ban’s right arm rose up so that his right hand could tangle itself in the beast master’s dark hair and his left hand joined Shido’s hand that was pulling Ban’s lower section tight against the beast master. Ban’s hard cock arched up to rub gently against the back of their clasped hands, pearly drops of pre-cum glistening from the tip. Head back on Shido’s shoulder and eyes closed, a small moan of pleasure escaped Ban’s throat. Shido’s eyes slid closed as the smallest drops of Ban’s blood seared his tongue, renewing their blood bond. They stayed frozen like this for many long heartbeats, and Gingi could tell it was a ritual that they went through every time before they made love, so practiced and perfect were the moves. It looked like some kind of an exotic mating dance that the two of them preformed together, the beast master charming his snake.

“Shido,” came the barely breathy whisper from Ban. “Oh, Shido…”

Gingi had never seen anything that looked so erotic. Almost unconsciously, his hand went to his painfully engorged cock and he started to stroke himself. He was on his knees, his hand moving faster, his breath coming in gasps, panting hard at the intoxicating sight in front of him. As Shido’s head lifted from Ban’s neck to claim a kiss, Gingi came with a strangle moan, leaning over face first on the bed, trying to hide what he had just done from the seemingly oblivious couple.

“Sweetheart, I think you were a bit too much for him,” Shido whispered into Ban’s ear.

“Finish me, then I’ll take care of him,” replied Ban, softly.

“I can wait, for now,” said Shido. “I’ve got what I wanted. This’ll keep me for a little while.”

“You sure?” asked Ban.

“Yeah. Do him. I want to watch you in action, snake bastard,” Shido leered at the younger man. “Besides, your ass is already greased up. I might join in the fun. Who knows?”

“You’re a perv. This is one-on-one, okay? Just because the three of us are in the same bed…” warned Ban.

“Yes, princess. I’ll behave myself and just watch,” said Shido as he pulled out of Ban’s tight, hot body, kissing him once more.

Ban moved over next to Gingi, put his hands on the blonde’s shoulders and pushed him back on the bed. Sliding down to lay next to him, Ban started to kiss Gingi lightly, his hand moving down to gather some of the come from Gingi’s stomach to use as a lubricant to let his fingers enter Gingi’s tight body opening. Ban pushed his legs apart and used his fingers gently, stroking and circling the tight muscle, all the while kissing Gingi until his lover started to relax.

Ban started to kiss Gingi’s neck, then moved to his tender nipples, all the while his free hand making little swirls and trails over Gingi’s sensitive electrified skin. Gingi always loved the feel of Ban’s hands on his body, so soft and caressing, and his mouth, so fiery hot. Soon Gingi was panting and moaning again, his cock once more engorged. Ban slid the rest of the way down and licked the heavy vein that ran up the back of the throbbing organ before he let his mouth start giving Gingi the pleasure he so much desired. He licked across the sensitive slit, gathering up the pre-cum, before swirling his tongue around the crown like it was a lollypop, then he took Gingi all of the way down into his relaxed throat, swallowing around the organ before he started return journey to the tip, alternating sucking and licking as he went. After only a few minutes of the deep sucking and the swirling of the teasing tongue, Gingi spilled his passion down Ban’s waiting throat.

Then Ban moved up back up to kiss Gingi deeply and prepared himself to enter the now completely relaxed Gingi. He was so relaxed that the sex was easy and awesome, Ban soon coming hard and deep inside his willing body. Almost before he withdrew, Gingi was asleep.

Shido chuckled and pulled Ban into his arms, his mouth seeking the younger man’s, tasting the residue of Gingi’s climax that still coated Ban’s mouth.

“I didn’t know you deep throated, baby,” said Shido with a leer, running a finger over Ban’s lips. “Maybe…”

“No way, monkey tamer,” stated Ban. “You’re too fucking big. You’re lucky I let you put that thing up my ass.”

“Lucky,” retorted Shido. “You love it, snake bastard. You cry and beg me for more. You like it hard and deep, don’t you, baby?”

Ban tried to glare at Shido, but couldn’t pull it off, so he laughed at the beast master instead.

“Yeah, you make me scream for more. So, what are you waiting for? I’m all yours now, you can give me all you want,” said Ban enticingly.

Shido kissed Ban, pushed him to his back and with little hesitation entered the slicked passage and began the hard, driving sex that he usually had with Ban, although it seemed as if he was just a little harder then he normally was. A couple of times Ban actually hissed and winced a little as Shido hit a little too deep, hands digging into his body, teeth into his skin.

And it seemed as if it took Shido much longer then usual to reach his climax. When he finally came, he slammed hard into Ban’s body, burying his seed deep, before collapsing on Ban’s slender body. Then he rolled to his side to allow Ban the chance to regain his breath, but he didn’t give him long before he was driving in him once more. Long into the small hours of the night, Shido, ravaged the body of his lover, bringing them both to climax several more times, his hunger for the retriever never quite abating.

At about 5 in the morning, as Shido reached for him again, Ban halted him. It was the first time Ban had ever asked him to stop, but Shido seemed oblivious to the passage of time, surprised to see the gray of dawn.

“Shido, please,” said Ban softly. “No more. You’ve been going at it all night, and I’m tired. You’ve got every night, now. Please, let me get some sleep, or I’ll be completely worthless.”

“I’m sorry, Ban,” Shido apologized. “Sleep, baby. I’ll leave you be, for now. I didn’t realize. You should have told me sooner, sweetheart.”

Shido pulled Ban into his arms and the retriever passed out. Shido realized that he needed to curb his excess. That his hunger for the snake bastard was going to kill the both of them if he didn’t control it. But it was as Ban said. He had every night, now. He just needed to learn to moderated himself.

He could do that. He was right where he wanted to be now, in the bed and in the arms of the man he loved. Everything was falling into place now and he would work hard to make sure that his union with Ban Mido was a long and happy one. Shido finally felt at peace within himself.
