Time Enough (Lady Nightshade and Mr. M)

The roughhousing and laughter were a tonic for the stress and death they'd recently experienced. What was more natural after facing mortality than to embrace life? And as Athena wrestled and splashed and rubbed against both of the men, the water seemed to grow warm around them. Or perhaps they all were just heating up.

Soon, the splashing became lesser, the brushes of hands lingered more, their bodies floated closer together, their voices were not quite so loud. Michael kept casting inscrutable glances at Joe, but Joe purposefully didn't take any hints the other man might be casting, and Joe's presence didn't deter the knight's fingers from sliding gently on Athena's skin, even as Joe also snuck underwater caresses when he could.

Her body relaxed. Muscled that were once tense, soon became less restrained as the water and gentle touches came from Michael. Bringing a wash of warmth to her face even as she felt the tease of Joes fingers that teased below the back of her waist line. Sending gentle shivers down her spine as she slid forward into Michaels arms on instinct. Looking up with her soft green eyes into his as she felt Joe still gently to the side.

"Michael..."

Whispering his name as a gentle breeze swept to carry it away. Shivering with anticipation as she knew that Joe wouldn't even mind. That the fact she was feeling the feint traces of his touch under the water was enough to remind her that she knew in the end she was his. They were partners and assigned to be together until the end of time. Licking her lips, Athena sighed and pressed her forehead against Michaels chin. The tips of her nipples gently brushing against his chest as she tilted her head and looked straight at Joe. Both knew what she wanted. Her body screamed for the comfort only their touch could give. Yet, she knew that she loved them both and there was that part of her that was dead locked on outright confusion. Even if her libido was throbbing wildly.

Joe ended up making the move, twenty-second century guy that he was. He stayed low in the water, like he had been, but circled around close up behind Athena and reached up and stroked the side of her neck from behind. She could feel Michael tensing a bit, primitive mate-claiming response, perhaps, until Joe's fingertips stroked her jaw and tilted her face up towards his. He gazed into her eyes a moment, and then lowered his lips to hers and kissed her. It was tender, it was warm, it was also... there was a hint of hunger in it, an edge of aggression, but just a suggestion.

And while Michael kissed her and drew her close, she could feel Joe's lips on her back, between her shoulders, as he kissed up her spine, his hands sliding around her from behind. As Michael wrapped his arms around hers, Joe came around to caress her belly, and one of his hands, underwater, slid lower, deftly avoiding the rigidity of Michael's that Athena could feel against her hip as if he had radar (which, considering, he very well might have had) in order to stroke her thigh and pelvis, sensual but not outright sexual... yet.

Her senses were on fire. Wave after wave of tingeling pleasures danced along her skin. Michael's kiss was tender and so much more. Even with the teasing gestures from Joe as the water rippled around her most sensative areas. If the Knight was going to say anything about Joe being there, he had no intentions at the moment. Not that Athena cared as she pressed her chest hard against him. Breaking the kiss to lean her head back and roll her head to eye Joe with a grin.

As the sun's rays danced through the leaves, they sparkled like dimonds on the trio. Small beads of water droplets fell down her shoulders as her breasts pulled gently back off Michael. Rolling over to trace the tips of her harden nipples as a soft sigh of need escaped from her lips. Her emotions still fought with the little mental voice in the back of her head. That she loved them both and and yet couldn't choose one over the other. After the close enough calls for the day, this moment in time was what she wanted right now. Wiggeling her hips gently against Michael's pelvis as her rear would tease Joe.

Michael's tension flared a bit, and then she could sense him relax, give in. It was clear she wasn't going to tell one or the other to depart, and while Joe kept stroking and teasing and arousing, Michael finally relented, and adjusted to the fact that it wasn't going to be just him and her... not at the moment, at any rate. And once he came to that conclusion, he metaphorically ran with it, pressing against her softness, his hard nipples pushing against the swells of her breasts as he clutched her to his chest, his stiffness insistently hot against her lower belly and pelvis, despite the coldness of the water.

Joe, of course, had neither any concerns about threesomes not any jealousy about his partner. He came from a generally liberated time, and his years in the Service had only loosened him up. But mostly it was his unshakeable dedication to Athena that let him stroke her and teasingly squeeze her buttocks, pressing her against Michael gently even as he crouched in the water, kissing down her back in a way he knew would give her shivers, and she could feel the occasional brush of his own hardness against the backs of her legs as he moved close in behind her.

Eyes rolling to the back of her head, she let go of the fears of then and only the moment of now. Lifting she head up to press her lips to Michaels, she moaned. Shuddering at Joe's touches. The feel of both men against her was amazing. With the gentle sway of her hips pressing against Michael and then pulling back to tun in his arms. Facing Joe with a smile on her face she leans forward and kisses him as her breasts dangle forward for him to play if he wished.

"Joe.."


Athena spoke his name just loud enough for him to hear. Knowing he had better hearing then any human around with the extra sensative hearing. Another sly smile before nipping him under his chin that spoke of more for him later when they would be alone. Only then did she tun back to Michael and take his hand to lower it into the water. her own hands as well. A louder moan and shiver as she took hold of his and joes shaft and started to stroke them under the water.

Her turning brushed Michael's shaft in the most erotic manner, and her leaning forward to kiss Joe not only moved her breasts forward but her buttocks backward, and Michael slotted perfectly into the cleft between them. The knight moaned as his most sensitive skin was clasped and massaged by her muscles, and his hips ground unconsciously against her, though he wasn't trying to penetrate her quite yet.

Joe lifted out of the water, his hands cupping her breasts automatically, and his lips meeting hers in a hungry, passionate kiss. His hands brought out tingles of pleasure almost instantly as his thumbs rubbed expertly across her hard nipples, knowing exactly how to manipulate them to turn her on. Experience counted, here.

When she half-turned and moved their hands, and grasped both of their hard, hot shafts, only then did Michael speak, his voice a hoarse, urgent whisper amid his aroused panting. "Your passions... amaze me..." he gasped. "But if this... is what you want... I'm with you..." he smiled, glancing at Joe almost shyly.

"Don't worry," Joe said with much more firmness; it was almost as if he'd done this before. "I know you're not interested in me. Just focus on Lady Athena, and I'll do the same." Joe nodded and winked at the other man, who visibly relaxed. Then both of them leaned in, lips closing on opposite sides of her throat, hands caressing skin, crevices, breasts and below. She couldn't be entirely certain whose fingers were sliding or poking or wiggling where, they were both all over her so much, their lips and tongues against her throat, her ears, her mouth...

Athena laughed gently from Joe's words. Those faded almost at once when both came at her hungerly. Her body reacted instantly. Waves of pleasure rolled through as goosebumps rose across her body. Moaning as she closed her eyes and turned her head to passionatly kiss both men one at a time. Moaning as she squeezed them a little harder each time before releasing them.

With the gentle sound of the water moving around them, she turned ever so slightly. Tensing as she swore she felt fingers brushing up against her labia. A shudder, she keeps her legs spread ever so gently before turning to kiss Michael with fire filled passion. Moaning as her left hand vanishes in the water, only to find his hard and waiting member. Stroking him with a gentle pace, and to be a tease, pressing him into her warm upper folds.

It brought shudders to her, but to know how much Michael would love it would be good enough. Nibbling on his lower lip, Athena reaches back with her right hand to search for Joe. Wanting him just as close in the hopes to see what he could do there and so much later. She loved them both. Wanted them both and would pleasure them by her hand, mouth and body just as they were and would be doing.

Joe was right behind her, his arms coming around to cup her breasts, and when Michael broke the kiss, he lifted her breasts to Michael's mouth. As the knight pushed his hips at her, rubbing his stiff cock against her nether lips (while letting her determine the aim, with her hand on his shaft... he wasn't going to force himself into her before she was ready), and licked and sucked on her nipples, Joe leaned over her shoulder and captured her lips, kissing her hungrily, his own shaft nestled in the cleft of her buttocks where Michael's had been just moments before. He wasn't thrusting, though; he just rested himself there as they kissed.

Joe broke the kiss and trailed his lips back along her jawline, capturing her earlobe in his teeth and suckling on it, and while he had his mouth so close to her ear, he managed to whisper low enough so that Michael could not overhear: "Enjoy him; I'll occupy myself. I won't push boundaries... too far," he concluded with a sigh of a chuckle, and released her ear to nibble at the back of her neck again. His hands continued to massage her breasts, and as Michael's face turned upward to try and kiss her once more, Joe's fingers easily moved to playing with her nipples, stroking and gently squeezing and occasionally plucking.

Michael, on the other hand, was fully giving in to the idea of having Joe assist, seeing how aroused it was making Athena. His fingers felt wonderful sliding on her back, and his shaft veritably pulsed in her grip as his hips unconsciously showed their desperation in their movements, autonomic thrusts against her warm body.

As much as she wanted to quarry Joe on what he meant by too far, she couldn't. Opening her mouth, only moans of pleasure escaped. her body releasing wave after wave of need. Both men kept her so wrapped in the warmth of not only their love, but their bodies as well. As Joe plucked and squeezed her breasts, she arched her chest forward and up into Michael. Preventing him for a moment from kissing her. Though, it did bring the Knight's shaft sliding down close to where both partners wanted it. Just resting there as her body gave excited tingles of pleasures before reaching up to pull Joe down.

"You can show me too far later tonight."

Once again only for his ears as she kissed him for a moment before looking up lovengly at Michael. Shifting her hipes and letting out small moans as if each sent out small orgasims of pleasure. With water running down her chest, Athena moved back over to Michael. His member sliping back up between her folds as her breasts pressed against him.

"Michael.."

Whispering his name, she drew down farther into the water down to her neck and looked up towards both men, but concentrated on Michael. A twinkle in her eyes, she pressed her lips to his thigh, and kissed. Moving to the his other thigh and moved up. Taking both hands to gripe his sides and gently dig her nails into his back as she moved farther up. Eyes closed, moaning and nipping him gently with her teeth until she reached his neck and left ear.

"I want you... My Knight.."

Michael smiled and moaned softly as she rubbed her whole body up his, and he found himself leaning back in the reeds, the water plants half-cradling him, giving him some support as he held her against him, straddling him. His manhood was poised and ready, and his hips moved to try and find his target while his tongue and teeth nipped at her throat gently, teasingly.

Joe was somewhere very close, but he wasn't touching her yet. He was watching, neck-deep in the water as she had been, crouching there, seeing her move on Michael with a wry smile and intense eyes.

With the feel of Joe's eye's on her, it only made her more excited and turned on. Even more as, her heart sped up even faster as some of the reeds brushed against her arms and thighs. With the shifting of his body she could feel his member brushing up to her. Bringing a louder moan from her lips as Athena couldn't wait and brought her hips down against him. The swirling of water combined with another cry from her lips as she clung to his shoulders. Her sweet, hot insides clamping down against him like a vice.

"Michael!!"

Shivering as she lowers her head toward his chest. Knowing Joe could hear her call his name. Knowing he wouldn't care. She wanted them both and loved them both.

Michael gasped as her body slid down on him and clenched him tight. His arms enfolded her, cradling her against his chest. He sighed against her ear, just enjoying the feel of her around him. He enjoyed the feel of her always, every time they'd been together, but this time seemed different, fresher somehow.

He held her, and then slowly, under the water, he moved, pulling back a bit, pulling out a bit, and then easing within her once more. He started to stroke slowly in and out of her, feeling her tight and slick around him as he moved.

Joe, on the other hand, moved up close behind her. He didn't want to weird Michael out, so he was careful not to touch him as he bent to kiss her back, going lower down her spine, while his hands stroked down to caress and cup her buttocks, helping her move over Michael, helping her impale herself on his moving shaft.

Time had stopped the moment she felt that first coupling. Throbbing need from her lover as water beaded from his arms down her back. Tensing for only a moment as their bodies found that perfect spot. Her pleasurable shivers brought her closer to him. Pressing her breasts against his chest as she felt Joe moving up behind them.

When Michael's hips moved, she let out a soft moan. Feeling the cool water flow around the trio as Joe's hands drew to her. Each kiss he drew to her back was a passion full of fire. Fire that licked and teased against her skin as the pace was still ever so gentle. Lovers being tender for the moment. Hands on her buttocks, Athena groaned, feeling him lift her as she found him moving her a little faster and harder against Michael's shaft.

"Harder. More.."


Rasping for breath as she reached back for Joe.

Joe was behind her, deftly avoiding brushing against Michael as he helped move her, helped push her, as he knew she wanted to go, while his lips brushed and kissed at the back of her neck, at her shoulders, even as Michael's broke with her kiss and kissed down the front of her neck, lavishing attention on her breastbone and actual breasts. He began to thrust upward with greater urgency, spurred on by Athena's moans, and Joe also helped, squeezing and caressing her buttocks as he helped her move them, crashing her into Michael's lifting hips.

His fingers curled into the curves between her nether cheeks, fingertips brushing, tickling, tapping at the wrinkled little grommet hidden there, as her still-tender flesh was being stretched so pleasantly and slamming with such urgent need just short centimeters away. He was in "assist" mode, doing what he could to bring pleasure to her, to help Michael do the same, and he couldn't help but try and act a bit like a teacher as well, making her aware of additional pleasures, forcing her body to recognize stimulus and figure out what to do about it. He grinned as he nibbled on the back of her neck, sending more pleasure to her brain, because this was not dissimilar to what she'd done in educating him, back when they'd first started working together. Once again, the tables were turned, and he was forced to realize they always had been.

Her hands reached behind her. Reaching for Joe as her chest was further exposed for Michael. Moaning louder with such need as she hissed with pleasure when Joe teased and traced the hidden spot between her cheeks. Reaching still, until fingertips brushed against Joes throbbing member. Almost falling back if it wasn't for Joe being there. Her body was nothing but a rolling sea of passion. Passion that could only be quenched by the men that were by her side.

Squeezing her internal muscles to pleasure Michael, she reached up and pulled Joe down to kiss him hard. Wanting him as much as she did her Knight. Wanting to tease and test the line. To see how far both would be willing to go with her as her heart beat for both men. Tracing her tongue over his lips she moaned and squeesed harder. Wanting more from them as she moved her hips in a circular motion. Hard and passionate was what she wanted.

Joe's chest brushed against her shoulders as he leaned over her to kiss her, as Michael moved to cup and massage and lick and suckle her breasts, lavishing them with attention. Joe's member was hot and hard in her one hand reaching behind her, and he moved so she could grip and stroke him.

And all the while, Michael was pumping in her, strong authoritative strokes that sloshed the water around them, moaning as she clenched around him and swirled her hips, while Joe's busy hands were pushing her down harder on him, passionately moving her hips for her, or assisting as her own abandon grew, and his fingertips kept teasing and stroking at probing at that other nether orifice, as if it was the most natural thing to tease and stimulate her there. And for all she knew of her future tastes (of which Joe seemed to know a lot), perhaps it was a natural thing for her, then. And perhaps it was something she could enjoy now, was the realization that followed.

Her heart was beating rapidly against her breast as she felt that new sensation. So strange at first, but each pleasured tensed moment the muscles relaxed and all she knew was that it felt good. That probing from Joe as she moaned heavily into his kiss. Panting and stroking him harder as she felt that first wave of pleasure rushing like a tidal wave towards her. However, it wasn't anywhere near the main event. The way her body was on fire it would take more then once to quench the fire that burned through her veins.

"Joe.."

Rasping his name as she broke the heated kiss for a breath of air. Nipping at his lower lip as she squeesed his memebr tight for a moment. Her body still moving against Michael as she panted and moaned. Taking use of her free hand to hold Michael to her breast as a louder moan escaped. Only then did she pivot her hip back to press against the hand that was toying with her still virgin orfice. Her body trembled and she wanted him to keep at it. Her eyes fluttering open and closed before tugging on his member to tease and then let go as she turned her attention back to Michael.

He moaned as she tugged on him, then sighed when she let go. It was excruciating, but he knew what Michael didn't, that he would have more time with her. So much more. "Focus on him," he whispered, "that's right." And he chuckled slightly, realizing he was about to introduce her to one of their more favored sensations, together.

Michael licked and sucked at her nipples, first one and the other, and ground up into her, against her, tripping those pleasure switches as his body slid and rubbed against her most sensitive button. The explosions of ecstasy rose in pitch, and as they reached a height, Joe's fingers pushed just a little bit more, slicked by her body's juices and the water, and slid straight inside, a presence in her nether passage, probing and touching and sending entirely new sensations through her nerves.

Stars were seen in her vision as that peak was reached. The sliding of pleasure as she felt that new sensation spreading into her body. Melding together as her body shuddered and cried out for more. Athena squeesed and dug her hands into Michael's shoulders. Each tendril of pleasure budded to fruitation as her lips found his. Clasping to his as hips rolled harder against him. The slapping of water and fluids was almost to much before she broke the kiss. Pulling on his lower lip with a growl.


"Mi--ch-a -"


Voice panting as she was so close to that point of the brink. That point of pure willingness to have him so fullfilled as her muscles quivvered with such need as the lightening came striking down...

Lightning struck. Joe's fingers flexed within her, and his other hand pushed her hips down on Michael and held them as she quivered, grinding against the knight's pelvis, and that triggered both of them. Michael moaned, a gutteral growl half-buried in her chest as his hands clenched against her skin and his arms tightened around her, a split-second of physical warning before his shaft began to pulse and jerk within her tight sheath, twitching within her body as he jetted his orgasm deep inside her, to the accompaniment of her own moans and Joe's still-pumping digits and the skyrockets that were exploding behind her eyes.

Their vocals became a symphony of cries as Athena felt that rush. With Joe's one hand holding her down she hand felt it. That quivering feeling of fulfillment as she felt her lovers own rush fill deep inside her. It seemed never ending as lips pursed and opened. Her arms gripped Michael as tight as she could. Muscles taking his member as she then let out a cry of pleasure. Her rear giving small vibrations as she felt his still pumping didgits. Wanting more and yet still riding on the back of the flames of passion as she slowly came down. Slowy still riding Michael and moaning his name.

Joe sighed in satisfaction as he felt her flex and twitch under his hands and around his fingers. Once she was well and truly coming down, he slowly slid his fingers free, with great care and patience, so that her sphincter could get adjusted to their non-presence.

Michael, for his part, kept her clutched tightly against him, his hips straining up into her for all of the aftershocks from his orgasm. His entire body language said he wanted her, needed her like he needed oxygen. It was only slowly, as he murmured his name and her hands stroked his skin, that he loosened the steel cords of his muscles from around her, and sagged gently back against the reeds, sinking with her deeper into the water as they all three came down from the intensity of the moment.

"I hope we didn't disturb the men," Joe said quietly, a smile in his voice. "You know how they gossip. Like little old ladies at the market, they are."

Leaning down against Michael, Athena, kissed him gently. A loving kiss of deep engrossing gentle passion before she moved to feel the strain on her hips. Letting the cool water kiss the tenseness away as the kiss ended. Their eyes meeting and hers sparkled. Full of so much love and more before she turned in his arms and leaned back to just relax and shiver gently. Feeling his seed warm inside her spill out as the water washed it away.

"Let them gossip. All they will know is that I was satisfied."


Smiling as hands reach out to Joe.

Joe laughed as his hand intertwined with hers, but he did not allow himself to be brought in for an embrace, largely out of deference to Michael still holding her close. The knight had just a short while ago learned that the "servant" was actually the "lover," but it didn't stop Michael from being the Lover, too. It was a lot to take in at once, and Joe didn't want to crowd the man with too much, too soon.

"They'll know that, and that they should get the drinking water from farther upstream for a while, also."

He sighed, and, while reluctant to let go of Athena's hand, floated over toward the shore. "I'd imagine we ought to make ourselves useful, if we're going to camp here tonight. Or at least, I should. I suppose the two of you have earned some cuddle time." He paused, and addressed Michael specifically. "That's what we call being close and appreciative of one another."

"I know," the knight sighed, happily. "She told me about it before."

Joe chuckled. "Okay, then. You two make it back to camp when you can." He winked at Athena before he rose from the water, collected his things, and ambled casually down the trail.
