The Dark Angels: Tied Together (11 page)

Angel chuckled and tapped Dare on the nose then kissed it.

“And I thought Dusty was the King of Narnia. I think you may be wearing your own crown.” Darius pouted just a little and Angel was quick to hug him tight. “The label doesn’t matter baby. Gay, straight, bi or slightly bent you are mine.” Angel started nibbling on Darius’s neck and the man was fairly purring.

Josh stared out the window wondering how the hell he was going to leave the chair without them knowing he had overheard the conversation. Angel’s palm was rubbing against Dare’s erection again. Josh relaxed a bit deciding to just wait them out because it looked like they were going to be using a bedroom pretty soon.

Josh was a bit worried that Dare knew. Josh was pretty sure the guy would be discreet with their little secret party with Angel, but he hoped he didn’t say anything to Robin. Josh wanted nothing to impede Robby coming to him when he got overheated.

Josh was drawn back into to eavesdropping when he saw Angel smirk in the glass reflection and heard his next tease. “Hey, maybe you are straight.” Angel’s hand rubbed the erection that was now tenting Dare’s jeans. “Hmmm, you are definitely upright and straining to be straight here. Maybe we could see how bent you are, if you would like.”

“What?” Dare panted.

“Your birthday is coming up? Isn’t it?” Angel allowed his threat to dangle.

“Yeah?” Dare was growing impatient and started wiggling on Angel’s lap.

“Well, I bet there are two members of this band who would like to join our
after
party celebration.”

“You wouldn’t dare!” Josh heard Dare moan and through the reflection in the window saw Angel squeeze Dare’s dick.

“Wouldn’t I?” Angel was just irreverent enough to pull the threat off.

Josh bit his hand to stop a groan from escaping.
Fuck me! It
would give me another chance with Robby! Bad! Very bad! But I can drop
some hints to Angel to let him know I would be into it.

Dare frowned and begged Angel. “Stop. Geez, this isn’t some hot fan fiction!” He was seemingly unable to stop the visuals that were running through his mind, Darius sighed deeply.

“Speaking of hot, did you read the fan fiction about The Dark Angels having an orgy?” Angel whispered in Darius’s ear, but loudly enough for Josh to hear.

Dare thrust up into Angel’s palm. “Yeah, something about naked twister.” Josh hadn’t read that one and he wondered if he and Robin got together in it. He’d have to go to the boards to check it out.

“Ahhh, so you think it’s hot?” Angel’s fingers were toying with the top button of Dare’s jeans. “Everyone in the band trying to reach for those little game circles. Together we are all straining to touch to right color, but touching each other instead. Kissing, sucking, and fucking.” Angel laughed as Darius thrust his hips, fucking the air. “Liking those images, huh? Lucky I’m not the jealous type.” He pulled Darius’s mouth to his to eat at it.

Breaking the kiss, Darius said, “Angel. You should stop.” He halfheartedly tried to push Angel’s hand away. It reminded Josh of how Robin said no when he really meant yes. Dare asked, “But seriously, they were into each other?”

When Angel gave a short confirmation nod, Dare exclaimed, “They must have been beautiful together…so hot!”

Josh bit back a smile. Dare was right, it was hot! Better than all the fan fiction out there on the
twins
. There was a ton of fan fiction putting Robin and him together. Sites devoted to Jobin and another one called Rosh, where he and Robin starred in various stories. Some were tawdry, some were sweet, and others were downright obscene. There were a number of random fanfics that were just disturbing. Those stories centered around one or both of the
twins
having a deadly illness, died, or was dying, having alien interaction or were aliens, and a few where Robin had his baby.

Josh stayed away from the depressing ones because, after Robin’s accident, they seemed a little too close to what the reality might have been. Josh would always deny having ever read any of these stories, but he enjoyed the romantic and erotic ones very much. He kept quite a few hidden in a locked file on his hard drive. It gave him a tiny outlet where he could see a happy ever after for him and Robin.

Angel’s voice pulled him back to the conversation he was listening in on, “Yeah, but it was a blow to my
fragile
ego.” Josh almost snorted out a laugh. Angel waited for Dare’s giggle to die down, before he continued, “But what struck me was the pure love that surrounded them and flowed between them. I watched for a while, and not just because it was hot.” Angel paused and Dare nudged him.

Angel bit back a laugh. “Okay it was hot, but what drew me in was the intensity of emotion. I knew I wanted a love like that.

I wanted someone to touch me like that.” Angel pulled Dare into his arms for a deep kiss. Tongues merged until Dare pulled back.

“Still in practice space, dear.”

Angel’s lower lip pouted out just to make Dare giggle. Angel smiled down at Darius, “Thank you, love.”

“For what?”

“Just for being you. For loving me. For touching me the way only you do. For sharing our life. For giving me my birthday wish.”

The list would have continued but Dare pulled him into a kiss.

They kissed until Dusty cleared his throat, but then wandered back into the practice space. Josh could hear him talk to Robin.

“Speaking of birthdays…” Angel smirked. His hand had worked its way under Dare’s shirt and Josh thought he might be rubbing his nipples.

“Mmmmm. Stop teasing,” Dare, said almost prudishly. He tried to pull down his T-shirt and get Angel’s hands out from under it.

“Not teasing, baby.” Angel turned his face to look at Darius.

Angel whispered the next bit too softly for Josh to hear. The look of sheer anticipation crossed Darius’s face before he frowned.

“Wouldn’t that be cheating?” Dare’s voice dropped low so Josh had to strain to hear all the words.

Angel held up their entwined hands and kissed each of them.

“I don’t see it that way. We would be experiencing it together.

Make no mistakes, you’re mine. And trust me when I say Robin belongs to Josh.” Angel rose his voice a little. “Isn’t that right Josh?”

Inhaling with surprise Darius looked around until their eyes connected in the reflection. Angel’s head tilted waiting for an answer or maybe an apology for spying. “I wish,” Josh said quietly. His cover was blown so he spun the chair around to face them.

Angel’s hand lay over Darius zipper as he cuddled closer.

He was completely unconcerned by their audience. As Angel continued to fondle his lover’s arousal, he said, “I think it might be time to make your move.”

The practice room door opened. Dusty and Robin walked into the sitting area.

Taking in the situation of Darius sprawled over Angel and the busy hand was back in his lap, Dusty protested. “Hey, come on!” Angel’s hand seemed to speed up over Dare’s denim clad erection.

Angel nibbled at Dare’s ear, “I think he will.” Looking down he added, “Quite soon.”

“Oh.” Robin’s mouth dropped open, as he stood frozen. He couldn’t seem to drag his eyes away from the scene in front of him. Josh had to agree with him. Oh, indeed. It was a very pretty view.

Dare’s tried to protest but Angel continued. Soon he was too lost in the sensations of his oncoming climax to complain. Angel was whispering things in the man’s ear that seemed to light him on fire. Then he simply said, “Now.”

As if on command, Darius came right there in front of the entire band. His blond hair was tossed around as his mouth opened in a cry of surrender. Angel had skillfully massaged the orgasm right out of his helpless guitar player.

Josh looked over at Robin and saw the desire written all over every part of him. From his quick intakes of breath, to the erection straining for the same kind of attention, to how Robin’s little pink tongue licked his full lips. Josh knew Robin wanted that. He needed that. And more than anything Josh wanted to give him that. If only he knew how.

Weeks had passed since that night. But Josh remembered how as soon as their apartment door was locked, Robin had slammed him up against it. There wasn’t time for intercourse; Robin just took their cocks out and stroked them to a steamy finish. Then, as if nothing had occurred, he went and made dinner.

According to the gossip mags, Josh was running around sticking it into everything with an open hole, while Robin was portrayed as quiet and reserved, waiting to be swept off his feet.

In fact, the tabloid pointed out no one could remember ever seeing Robin on a date; which was interesting because they never saw Josh on a date either. They implied Robin was gay, but were never able to offer any evidence.

Josh tried to act as he normally did but he knew Dare caught him looking at Robin. Hell, if Dare understood what the fuck was happening between them, maybe he could explain it to Josh.

The shows were going great. They had a break around the holidays. Angel called everyone in for a couple of practice sessions so no one went cold. No one minded. They were all in town and everyone loved to play their music. Even if they didn’t play music they would probably hang out together over the break, so not even Dusty bitched.

After a special practice session, Dare opened two bottles of wine, put out some cheese, crackers, and a veggie platter with dip.

Usually whenever they were back home, they would celebrate the week being over with pizza and beer. This was a definite step up.

Angel smiled. “What’s this?” He seemed pleased with the elegant surprise.

Stopping dead in the doorway, Dusty exclaimed, “What the fuck is this?” He pointed to the table spread with cheeses, fruits, vegetables, dips, crackers, and bread as if it were a table full of rotting corpses.

Dare laughed as Robin and Josh came in. He handed everyone a glass very full of wine. “I picked up a case on our last leg through California. I thought we enjoy it to celebrate the holidays with friends.” He smiled at everyone. Raising his glass, Darius toasted, “To friends.”

Everyone muttered the toast.

Angel added cheerfully, “And lovers.”

Dare and Josh were the only ones to echo Angel’s addition.

Robin just looked like someone killed his puppy and Dusty put on an exaggerated grimace.

Dusty whined. “And now you want me to eat this shit?”

Angel cuffed Dustin in the back of the head. “Like anything could stop you.”

Everyone sat down and ate. Josh swallowed a mouthful of wine before proclaiming, “This is way better than our usual Friday night pizza. Thanks Dare.” The guy really was thoughtful.

Dusty grumbled. “There is nothing wrong with Friday night pizza.” He ate another piece of cheese with a cracker and sipped his wine.

Robin nodded and smiled at Dare. “True, Dusty. But this was wonderful and really very nice.” He delicately dipped another carrot stick into the dip and nibbled it. Josh restrained himself from getting a plate for Robin and piling it with crackers and cheese. Robin was still too thin.

“Yeah, well, I figured we deserve an upgrade from Pizza Night every once in a while.” Dare sat down next to Angel.

“Ha! Speak for yourself.” Dusty grinned over at him as he popped a stack of cheese and crackers into his mouth.

Angel snorted. “Well, that’s true. You certainly don’t deserve an upgrade Dust.”

Robin looked at Josh with wide eyes and got ready for the show. Angel was truly in a mood to bug the shit out of Dusty.

“Hey man, be careful, I know your secrets,” Dusty reminded him.

Angel rolled his eyes. “Okay, smart ass Truth or Dare?” Angel was never one to back down from his best friend, even when he should have known better.

“Dare. As in not truth, not your boyfriend!” He cracked up at his own joke and everyone just looked at him. It was too much of a stretch to actually be funny, but Dusty didn’t care as long as he amused himself.

Angel grinned. “I dare you to prank call Megan and tell her you quit the band,” Angel said his brown eyes sparkling. “Make it convincing.”

Without another word, Dusty picked up his cell and called Megan. He put her on speakerphone. “Megan, do you have a second? I have something to tell you.”

Megan’s sweet clear voice came over the phone. “Sure what is it, honey?”

Dusty took a big gulp of wine. “I can’t take it any more. Ang is a complete and total jackass.” His eyes twinkled in glee at taking the opportunity to hurl an insult Angel’s way. “I’m sorry but I just can’t do this anymore. I need to quit the band.” His face broke into a huge grin but he managed not to laugh.

“What?” Megan sputtered for a moment. “Oh fuck you, Dustin! Are you playing Truth or Dare, you idiot?” Peals of laughter erupted through the group. “Nice. You have me on speaker and the whole band is there, huh? Hey, fuck heads!” She paused, trying her best to sound annoyed but failed miserably, and they could almost hear her grinning. “Ah, Pizza Night. Well, I have a date. So go back to your circle jerk!”

“We love you, Megan.” The band said in unison as they always did every time they acted like naughty children.

Sighing deeply with mock pain, she stated, “You’d better.”

Her affection for them could be heard over the cell. “Have fun boys. And even though you torment me, I love you all too much for words. Now excuse me, I am off to get laid.”

Everyone blew kisses. Dusty snapped his old style RAZR

phone shut and tossed his long blond hair over his shoulder. He turned towards Darius with a gleam in his eye. “Truth or Dare?”

“Hey! Hey, go easy, man.” Angel tried to defend Dare before it was even necessary.

Darius grabbed Angel’s hand and squeezed. “It’s okay, baby. I got this.” Turning back to Dusty, he smiled innocently. “Truth.”

“Wuss! Okay, fine, pretty boy. I want to know when did you figure out you wanted the idiot?”

“He’s not an idiot,” Dare instantly, if unnecessarily, defended Angel against Dusty. Angel cuddled into him for a moment with a silent ‘thank you’ as he basked in Dare’s love. He played it up a bit it to irritate Dusty. Robin giggled with bright eyes he turned to smile at Josh.
