Chapter 17 I'd made them all agree we would not let feelings get involved. I did it to try and control myself. For all the fucking good it did me. I was falling for Harmony. Every second we spent together worked her deeper into my heart, closer to the walls I'd built and maintained for five years. She lay in the center of the bed, her body glowing and skin flushed. Scooting onto her elbows, she tipped her head to the side. "What are you all doing way over there?" We stood all around the bed, the three of us enraptured with the sight of her. I removed my clothes first and crawled onto the bed beside her. She made a low purring noise in the back of her throat and rubbed her heel up and down the back of my leg. My cock throbbed, the ache intensifying with every minute that I wasn't inside her. We'd finish things differently this time. Grinning, she rolled on top of me, straddling my legs and trapping my cock. It pulsed in her slick heat, and she wiggled her hips. "I felt that. Right on my clit." Leaning forward, she grasped my shoulders, kneading the muscles with her fingers. "Being here with the three of you brings out a side of me I didn't know existed. I'm supposed to be shy. Demure. But here, like this." She rolled her hips over my cock and shivered. "There are so many things I want to say and do to all of you." "You have our permission." I gripped her hips and bucked into her. "Whatever you want, the answer is yes. This is a safe place." We were safe, and we would protect her no matter what. "Good." She lifted onto her knees, grabbed my cock, and sank onto me in one swift glide. I bucked into her again, this time with enough force to bounce her up several inches. The downward stroke sent flashes of light across my vision. I focused on Harmony instead of my own pleasure. Her head fell back, mouth dropping open as pleasure took over her features. Matthew and Roberto took up a spot on either side of her. Matthew palmed a breast while Roberto went straight in with his mouth, pulling hard on a nipple as Harmony groaned and writhed. I gave up my need for control and let Harmony do what she wanted, what she needed. Her body arched, her spine curving to give my friends better access. Her hands went behind her, and she gripped my thighs. The shift in weight brought her body down flush with mine and opened her legs. An opportunity to increase her pleasure. One that I took without hesitation. With nothing more than a look at Matthew that warned he might need to help Harmony, I moved one hand from her hip to her clit, using my thumb to add pressure with every move she made. Matthew cradled the back of Harmony's head and her thigh, using her own momentum to drive her up higher and down harder. "More." She dug her fingers into my inner thighs. "More. I need to feel all of you." "Okay." Matthew kissed her cheek. "You can have more." "Where do you want more?" Roberto rubbed her spine and lingered over the curve of her shoulder. "Inside me." Her eyes shuttered. "Everywhere. My mouth. My ass. I want you all over my body, inside me." The repetitive phrasing came with increased thrusts. My throbbing cock strained for release. Not before hers. "Stephen?" Roberto shot a look at me that I understood in an instant. I nodded and brought Harmony forward. "You need to come this way, Harmony. Let Matthew get behind you." Matthew needed this as much as I did. And Roberto. We'd been frenzied last night, and we would most likely be the same tonight. It would take more than a few sessions with Harmony to get her out of my system. If ever. The threat of that weaseled its way between us. The more I tried to push it aside, the deeper I thrust into Harmony. Matthew swung into place behind Harmony and worked his way onto his back. He ran his hand between me and Harmony, then stroked his cock, coating it in her wetness. "I'm coming in, Harmony." He pressed her forward, and I stilled my movements to make it easier for him but kept my thumb on her clit, alternating between circling it and pressing hard. Her mouth opened in a sigh, her eyes rolling back as Matthew entered her ass. She shifted her weight and moved her hands back to my shoulders. Roberto shifted onto his knees, then stood. His cock pulsed near Harmony's head, and she turned, mouth already open. Watching her take all of us like this was incredible. She was so willing, so open to having us at the same time. My cock rubbed against Matthew's, the veil of skin between us stretched so thin I felt every movement. Harmony wiggled over my hand and grasped Roberto's ass, pulling his cock deeper into her mouth. I dug my heels into the bed, thrusting upward in time with Matthew. The three of us worked in sync, pleasuring Harmony to the absolute best of our ability. She continued making short, gasping noises. Every time Roberto tried to pull out to let her breathe, she growled and jerked him deeper. "Damn it, Harmony. I don't want to choke you." Roberto held her head in his hands, using them to guide her in shorter strokes. She shook her head and rose onto her knees, almost unseating both me and Matthew. With a savage shudder, she slammed downward. Her request was clear. Harder. More. Deeper. With a look at Matthew, we changed tactics. When he withdrew, I thrust into her. Her core tightened, her pebbled nipples hard as diamonds. I pinched one between my thumb and forefinger, rolling it back and forth. She rode my hand and my cock with a frenzied action. Coupled with the way her walls spasmed and her skin pinked, I knew she was close. Groaning, she pulled off of Roberto. "Come with me. Please. I don't want to be alone." Alone. The intensity of her stare settled on me briefly. "Okay." I made the call for myself, and for the others. We had all night. It wouldn't hurt us to come at the same time. We knew plenty of ways to pleasure Harmony as we recovered for a second round. Satisfied with my answer, she took Roberto deep once again. Every languid slide of her pussy over my cock brought me closer to the edge. My toes curled. Matthew groaned, his hand running up and down Harmony's back. "Fuck me, Harmony. I'm going to come in your ass. You feel so damned good." "I knew this mouth was trouble." Roberto pistoned his hips, driving his cock in and out of her mouth. All the words I wanted to say were stuck behind my clenched teeth. I couldn't release any of them or I'd unleash all of them. And knowing me, I'd end up telling Harmony I felt something for her. We'd broken enough rules. I refused to give voice to this one. Instead, I showed her everything I felt. With my dick and my hands, I showed her all the things I hid from the world. She came hard and fast, her body seizing tight over my cock. Our strokes deepened, hardened as she unraveled. It was one of the most beautiful sights in the world, and I wished I had the right to see it every single fucking day. As she rode the cusp of her orgasm, I gave way to my own release, emptying myself in a series of body-shuddering jerks. Our groans filled my bedroom. Harmony sucked Roberto through his entire release, swallowing him down without hesitation. Matthew pulsed in her ass, and she released Roberto with a strangled gasp as a second, shorter orgasm overwhelmed her body. "I'm never going to get used to this. How am I ever going to have normal sex again?" The question brought reality into the room. I tried to push it back, succeeded long enough to raise up and brush hair from her face and bring her down in a cradle hold against my chest. Our hearts beat in time. Our lives entwined with every second that passed. The thread of connection that started the moment she walked into my classroom clung tighter. If I'd had any doubts about Harmony's enthusiasm, they were gone now. She was more than a little bit into this, into us. I didn't want to feel this, any of this. Matthew withdrew and rolled from the bed. Roberto followed, the two of them disappearing into my bathroom. I smoothed Harmony's hair from her sweaty face and kissed her brow. My heart lurched when she looked up and kissed my lips. No feelings. She had no idea the depth of my wounds. Only Roberto and Matthew knew how much I'd been hurt. Only they knew that when I felt something, it was with my whole heart. Roberto and Matthew returned carrying damp towels. Between the three of us, we cleaned up and slid between the sheets. "What are you doing?" Harmony yawned even as she snuggled against my chest. "Taking care of you." It didn't require feelings to be decent men. I wrapped my arms around her and tucked her head beneath my chin. "We're not done yet, but we all need a little break." She made a soft huffing noise and rubbed her nose back and forth over my chest. "Is it like this every time?" "You mean mind-blowing sex?" Roberto slid into the space behind Harmony and settled a hand on her hip. "Yes. It can always be like this." Forever. The word rested just out of reach. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath saturated with Harmony and sex. All my doubts and fears remained. Matthew tapped my shoulder as my eyes fluttered shut. He inclined his head toward Harmony, who had drifted off to sleep almost before Roberto finished talking. "All we want is for you to heal. Maybe you'll find happiness again." I shrugged off the thought. Happiness was a dream, and I preferred to focus on reality. Still, I brought Harmony closer. She sighed deeply and threw her leg over my hip. I'd rest for a little while, then we'd see what else Harmony could handle.
