Bayard[Bedtime stories 3] (6 page)

It got worse a few days after that. I’d stretched myself, slicked up, and gone in search of Callum. He’d snuck out of the house while Dromio and I were baking and hadn’t even given me as much as a good-morning kiss. I planned on teasing him until he realized the error of his ways and then getting my good-morning loving.

I couldn’t see him in the fiel ds when I searched so I checked down by the bank, and finally the barn. But he wasn’t anywhere. Then I saw what I thought was his shadow behind the barn and crept up on him.

“And why did my lover not even give me a good -morning kiss?” I whispered as I got closer. “Do you no longer love me? Maybe I shouldn’t let you stick your fat cock in my tight little slicked-up hole? Hmmm?” I leapt onto him.“Gotcha!”

“Callum’s not here,” Ansel said after catching me. I was wrapped around him like a monkey, feeling ridiculous and vulnerable. “He needed to get something in the village but didn’t want to bother you to ride there.”

“Oh, well, that’s silly because that’s why you originally bought me so you’d have a horse,” I whispered, staring at the barn over his shoulder. His large hands were holding my ass and I still had my hands on his shoulders. It was like I couldn’t break the hold of being in his arms.

“But you’re not just the horse we bought anymore, Taji. You’re the man we all fell in love with,” he said quietly, sniffling. “And I’m the only one you don’t love anymore.”

“I don’t know what I feel but you’d done just about everything you could for me to want to hate you.” I pushed at his chest which was stupid because he was holding most of my weight. His hands changed positions to counterbalance me and his fingers slid up my crack, one landing over my hole.

He buried his face in my neck and shook as his finger swirled my hole. “Resisting you is something even the devil couldn’t do. There’s only so much a man can take and I’ve never wanted anyone, loved anyone the way I do you.” He plunged his fingers inside of me and tried to kiss me. I turned my head away and started crying. “You hate me, don’t you?”

“No, but you were going to throw me away like garbage the moment I didn’t do what you wanted.” I sniffled, squirming because the fingers inside of me had stopped moving and my body wanted more. “That’s not love, Ansel. That’s possession. That’s ownership and you just want to fuck me again.” I glanced up at him then with tears in my eyes. “All I am to you is a body you want to bury yourself in. You don’t love me or who I am. You couldn’t and then try to banish me like that.”

“I’m so sorry,” he choked out as he leaned his forehead down to mine. “You were telling Callum how you regretted our time together and wished it never happened. It was like walking forward and right into a sword. I was coming to find you to discuss my feelings and that’s what I heard. I never said
no
, Taji, I just left because I needed air. I said I didn’t want to share, not that I wouldn’t. I needed to think. And then my heart shattered at what you said to him.”

“I’m sorry. I thought you were saying no and it broke my heart. But either way, what does that have to do with throwing me off your land?”

“I lashe d out. I wanted you to hurt as I did in that moment hearing you regretted ever being with me. And what I said just came out before I even realized it.”

“But then you defended it after you stormed away when Dromio and Brix hit you.” I didn’t understand how we had gotten here. Ansel was my strong rock and now both of us were falling apart.

“I felt like everyone was ganging up on me so I defaulted to defensive mode and stuck to my guns. No matter how stupid or wrong I was, it was like I couldn’t back down when everyone insisted I should.”

“You stubborn man,” I sighed and leaned against his chest, trying desperately not to move my hips. “We shouldn’t do this. You shouldn’t touch me this way with how we’ve left things. I’m your brothers’ now.”

“Is it too late for me?” he asked as his other hand squeezed my ass firmly. I moaned and he helped me wrap my legs around his hips, his fingers going deeper inside of me. “Tell me I’m not too late and can fix this, Taji.”

“I don’t know, can you?” I leaned back enough to star e into his eyes. He pumped his fingers and I let out a choked moan as I moved with them. “Can you show me you really love me? I won’t choose anyone, Ansel. My choice is all of you. Would you be able to live with that?”

“I don’t know but I do know that I love you.” I froze at his words and tears filled my eyes. I was so quick to be ready to forgive him and he still didn’t know if he wanted me for real.

“Then let me go,” I said in a firmer voice than I felt. He nodded and pulled his fingers free, before setting me on my feet. “I can’t keep going around in circles with you,Ansel. Either you’re sorry and you love me, want to be with me, and share me with your brothers. Or you just want to be my brother-in-law. Decide soon, Ansel, before all there is between us is anger and angst.”

And with that I walked away, went into the house, and crawled into bed, pulling the covers over my head. I wanted a redo on the day and my conversation with Ansel. I’m glad that he had only said what he said in anger, and not having really meant it. But that also wasn’t the same as everything being okay now.

Far from it.
Chapter 9

Callum and I were plowing the last plantable field the next afternoon when we saw Ethan riding towards the house at a pace that could only mean trouble. Luckily we had just finished plowing and I was already unhooked. Callum leapt up on me and held on to the handle that was on the simple pad strapped to me, and I took off as if the devil was on my heels.

When we reached in front of the barn my heart skipped a beat before trying to burst out of my chest it thumped so hard at what was going on. Ethan was screaming like a madman and he had a rifle pointed at Ansel’s chest.

“Just give me the bayard! I know he’s here,” Ethan exclaimed, as

Callum leapt off my back.
“We’ve already been over this, Ethan. There’s no bayard here,
only a horse that your mother fairly sold to us,” Ansel replied calmly. “I don’t believe you! Give me the horse then.” Ansel shook his
head at Ethan’s words. “You’re willing to die for a horse? Bullshit!
He’s a bayard and he’s put you under his spell.” He narrowed his eyes
at Ansel. “I will kill you.”
“I believe you but you’re not taking him,” Ansel growled and
gestured to his brothers. “And you only have one shot, Ethan, before
you have to reload. There’s no way you could do that before they rip
you to shreds.”
“But you’d still be dead.”
“I’m willing to keep him safe because then you’ll be dead too and
no one will come for him again,” Ansel said calmly. He glanced over
at me then I saw the love in his eyes for me. He was serious. I shifted and screamed, “No! I’ll go with you,just don’t hurt
anyone here.”
“I knew you were the bayard,” Ethan chortled, a mad, crazy laugh.
“Fine, I won’t hurt anyone here if you come here now and don’t fight
me.”
“Don’t do this, baby,” Ansel begged. “I would gladly give my life
to keep you safe.”
“And I would do the same,” I whispered as I walked over to him. I
reached up and cupped his cheek. “I would have loved you a million
days until fate saw to take us to heaven. But my life is not worth
yours when it would kill me to lose you.”
“It will do the same to me,” he whimpered.
“How can you care for this
thing
?” Ethan spat as he stared at me. “He’s not that thing,” Callum snarled, drawing attention to
himself. I hadn’t realized they’d been creeping closer to Ethan until
then and neither had the madman with a gun. “He’s a person who we
love!”
“Back off! I’ll shoot you!”
“Can’t shoot all of us,” Brix taunted.
“Please stop jeering the crazy man who’s armed!” I exclaimed as I
moved next to Ansel.
“Even if you take Taji now you won’t get away with it, Ethan,”
Dromio said calmly. “We’ll hunt you down and get him back.” “Then I’ll just kill one of you now as a deterrent,” Ethan
countered.
“You do that and we’re back to the original stalemate,” Brix
replied with a smirk. “You only have one shot. You kill one of us and
there’s three left to tear you apart.”
“Then I’ll just kill the bayard!” The gun turned to me and I finally
had a plan. “Then you’d all lose your love.”
“Do it,” I smirked as I stepped closer. “I’m an abomination, right?
Do the good work and kill me.”
“Taji, what are you doing, baby?” Brix asked nervously. I shoved
Ansel away from me with one hand and moved closer to Ethan. “I won’t go willingly, Ethan, because you just said you were
going to kill one of them anyways,” I said, ignoring Brix’s question.
“I’m still worth money dead. You know that. An apothecary would
probably pay you just as much for me dead as someone else would
pay for me alive. My body has healing properties and is a needed
ingredient in potions.”
“I know that,” he snarled. “The apothecary several villages over
offered me two thousand gold pieces for you dead. I was just planning
on killing you after we left here.”
“Then shoot me. If I’m dead then this is over.”
“They’ll tear me apart,they said,” he replied quietly as if mulling
over his chances of survival. I didn’t want that. I wanted him crazy
and reckless.
“Don’t be a little boy and
shoot me
,” I shouted as I stepped even
closer so the rifle wasonly a few feet from my chest. “Or are you not
a real man? I’ve got bigger stones than you and I’m not the one with
the gun.”
His eyes flared with rage and crazy as he steadied his aim. “No!” Ansel screamed as the gun went off. I smiled as I felt the
bullet pass right through me and I instantly healed.
“Ansel!” Callum cried out. I turned in horror as I realized what
had happened. Ansel had gotten off the ground and leapt towards me
to push me out of the way. Except he’d somehow gotten behind me
with all the chaos. So when the bullet passed through me it went into
him.
“No,” I snarled and stormed over to Ethan. I snatched the rifle
from him and threw it before wrapping my hands around his neck. “I
am not the evil thing here or the abomination. You are and you will
rot in hell for what you have done here.”
And with that I snapped his neck. I dropped him to the ground like
the trash he was and dove to Ansel’s side.
“You stupid, stupid man,” I choked out when I saw all the blood
in his gut. “What were you thinking?”
“That I love you,” he whispered as he coughed up blood. “I will
always love you.”
“You’d die for me but not share me? Are you insane?” I was
panicking and it was stupid to make him talk but I had to know the
truth.
“Yeah, sounds stupid when you put it like that.” He smiled at me.
“I had already changed my mind when he showed up. I was going to
beg you to take me back so we could all be one family with you as the
center who we all married.”
“Oh,Ansel,” I whispered as he coughed some more.
“What do we do?” Brix whimpered as he put pressure on the
wound. “We can’t get him to a doctor in time. Who can save him?” “Genius,” I exclaimed and stood up. I knew what to do now and
the answer. I thought of the only fairy I knew that could help us.
“Montague!” The air around me vibrated and seconds later there was
a naked fairy lying on the ground rubbing his eyes.
“Blast itto hell, Taji,” he yawned. “Can’t a man get some sleep?” “I’m sorry but I need your help,” I begged as I pointed to Ansel.
“I love him and he got hurt to save me, making the ultimate sacrifice,
his life for mine. That means you can save him, right?”
“That looks like a bullet wound,” Montague said slowly as he got
to his feet and checked it out. “But you can’t die from a bullet.” “But
he
didn’t know that,” I countered. I knelt at his feet, clasping
my hands desperately. “Please, loyal friend, and wonderful Montague.
I’ll do anything. Save him.”
“
Anything
?” He purred as he eyed me over. He and I had found
comfort in each other’s arms over the centuries but not for a long
time. He wasn’t a one-man man to say the least and that’s what I’d
always wanted. Or four now as it was.
“Yes, anything. Please, save the man I love.” Ansel coughed up
more blood again and I heard his heart slowing down.
“Would you leave these men that you love and be my sex boy
forever?” He waggled his eyebrows at me.
“Yes, I would,” I whispered, my eyes tearing up at the idea of
leaving them.
“Oh, balls. I can’t screw with true love and you know that. And I
can’t touch you now that you’ve given your heart to another. Or four
it seems.”
“Then what do you want that I can give you in return?” I begged,
glancing from him to Ansel.
“I’m quite the voyeur,” he drawled as he eyed over all my sexy
men. “And I bet the one that’s hurt has never taken cock from
anyone.” He tapped his chin andhis foot did the same. “You put on a
show for me, playing with all of them at once while doing the big guy
who’s dying,and I’ll save him. That would be spectacular to see.” “Yes, as long as they agree toit,” I immediately replied. Everyone
nodded as Ansel closed his eyes. “Ansel, you have to agree to this!”
He gave the barest nod and I turned back to Montague.
Then he glanced at Dromio. “Oh, you’re the baker whose bread I
adore. I want a loaf of bread and a dozen muffins a week for the rest
of my days too.” He scrunched his eyebrows together. “Or the rest of
your days. Whatever comes first.”
“Done. Now please save our brother, wondrous fairy,” Dromio
said reverently. Montague nodded and waved his hand at Ansel. His
eyes went wide as he took in a huge gasp of air as he started to sit up
from the force of it. I watched as the bullet came out of his stomach
and the wound healed right before our eyes.
“You can go around and just save people like that?” Brix
whispered in awe as he stared at Montague.
“No, there are rules,” he said as glanced around the farm as if
bored and taking in the scenery. “Basically I could only do it because
your brother here made the ultimate, selfless sacrifice and was going
to die because he saved someone else. Yes, Taji can’t die from a
bullet, but if he didn’t know that, it was still selfless. There’s a list of complicated guidelines and I try to stay away from saving lives but
Taji and I are old friends.”
“He’s ours,” Ansel growled as he yanked me on his lap. “Glad you’re feeling better enough to be jealous,” I giggled and
took his face in my hands. “That was a long time ago and Montague
knows I’m in love with the four of you so there’s nothing to worry
about. Now thank the wonderful fairy for saving your life before we
repay our debt.”
Ansel cleared his throat and looked at Montague. “Thank you,
dear fairy,for interceding on my behalf. I wasn’t ready to leave yet
and there is much I need to fix with Taji. I will always be in your
debt.”
“I think you fixed lots of the issue by trying to take a bullet for
him,” Montague chuckled as he waved his hand in our direction.
“Talking time over. Let’s get on with the hot sex of payment because
I have an appointment in an hour.” Then he made a bottle of oil
appear in his hand and tossed it to me. “It’s that peppermint kind you
like.”
“The one that tingles?” My eyes went wide. I did love that stuff. “Yes, and I’ll gladly leave a bottle a week for you if the wonderful
baker makes me a cake now and again when I entertain certain
guests.”
“Please, Dromio?” I whimpered as I batted my eyelashes at him.
“I promise it will more than be worth it. Montague never makes an
unfair trade. And I love this stuff.”
“Anything for you, my love,” he chuckled as they all quickly got
undressed and into position.
“Are you really okay with my taking you?” I asked as I slicked up
my fingers now that I was behind Ansel when he was bent over and
presenting himself to me.
“I’d love nothing more than to feel my mate inside of me.” He
glanced at me over his shoulder and I saw the truth of his words in his
eyes.
“You haven’t mated them yet?” Montague squealed in delight.
“I’ll give your crops a huge boost if you claim him now!” “What does the claiming entail?” Ansel asked and glanced
between us. “And why do you want to witness it?”
“Anything magical is like chocolate and good coffee to a fairy,”
he explained, wiggling his eyebrows at Ansel. “And Taji claiming
you is truly magical. It would give my batteries a boost and be hot,
hot!”
“To answer your question, you would become immortal like me,”
I said when Montague was done. “I’d bite you and keep my hand
there the whole time we made love until we both finished. Then the
mark will be permanent and my touching it could set you off later.
But you need to know it’s an unbreakable bond, Ansel. I claim you
and that’s it. If you cheated on me, it would kill us both. Same for me,
though if I claim your brothers that doesn’t count.”
“I accept,” he whispered as he pulled me down for an awkward
kiss. “I would love anyexcuse to be yours forever.” I giggled when he
winked. I quickly stretched him out, doing a good job of it though
because I wasn’t sure anyone had ever taken Ansel with how tight he
was.
The plan for me to handle all four of them was for me to take
Ansel. Brix to take me while I had Callum in my mouth and to use my
hand on Dromio until someone finished and then he took their place.
It was like crazy sex time planning at itsbest… And all out on the
ground no less.
“I love you,” I said to Ansel when he was ready, trying to put the
depth of my feelings in my words. He smiled and nodded for me to go
ahead. I leaned over and bit his hip, hard enough to break the skin but
not so there was blood gushing everywhere. Then when I released
him with my teeth, I moved my hand there immediately. It was a little
tricky to push into him when he was so tight and I had a good-size
dick for my height.
But we figured it out.
Brix pushed into me and I reached out and took Dromio’s cock in
my free hand. Callum gave me a wink and held himself out for me as
an offering I gladly took. When we were ready, I was stuffed,
fucking, stroking, and sucking at the same time with all the men I
loved.
“I’m leading,” Brix announced as he kissed my shoulder and
thrust. I moved into Ansel in time with Brix, and Ansel went between,
gasping in pleasure and crying out as I hit his sweet gland. “Shit,this is so fucking hot and dirty all at once,” Callum moaned
as he pushed his dick between my lips faster but not as deep. “I’m going to blow all over Taji just watching him stuffed full like
this,” Dromio agreed.
“It’s hot and I’m enjoying myself immensely,” Montague added. I
didn’t even have to look at him to know he was stroking himself off.
He wasn’t kidding when he said he was a voyeur. That man could pop
in and watch hot sex from miles away. It was like he had a locating
beacon to when people were fucking.
I moaned and then screamed around Callum’s dick as Brix
changed the angle and hit just right inside of me over and over again.
I couldn’t take all the swirling sensations and if I kept going much
longer I might collapse and move my hand off Ansel.
My mate under me must have gotten the idea because I felt him
moving with me as he pleased himself. “Come in me, Taji. I want to
feel my mate fill me with the proof of his love and our everlasting
bond.”
And that did me in. I cried out as I came so hard it shook my
body. I filled him with my cum as Ansel moaned my name and
followed me right over. It was like dominoes then. Callum shot in my
mouth at the same time Brix filled my ass and then before they were
even finished, Dromio’s seed hit me in the face.
When it was over I felt Ansel inside of me, a part of me down to
my very soul. Everyone flopped back to the ground and I collapsed on
top of the first of the mates I was to claim.
“I’m covered, filled, and swallowed enough cum to last me until
lunch,” I mumbled as I glanced at Montague. “Our debt is paid, old
friend. Leave us so I can bask in the light of claiming a mate.” “As you wish, my sweet Taji. I’ll see you soon.” He blew me a
kiss and made sure I saw his cock was spent before he vanished. “We love you, Taji.” Callum gasped for air.
