He pressed a sleepy kiss to Moira’s thigh as she rode Faunus and then he reached around her, gave Faunus’s balls a squeeze, let go when he earned a pleasured grunt, and then he pushed up and touched his lips to Faunus’s.
He then shifted back, got up on his elbow and watched.
Eventually, Faunus took the thick silk of her hair at the back of her neck in his fist and knifed up, taking control of the ride with his arm about her hips, doing this until he heard her gasp and whisper his name when she finished.
Then he allowed himself to finish.
Saturn gave them time for it to leave them both before he pulled Moira off Faunus’s cock, rolled to his back and positioned her sitting over his face.
Her head fell back, and Saturn’s name rushed from her lips.
Faunus slid down the bed, did his own roll, coming to his stomach between Saturn’s legs.
Saturn ate Faunus’s seed from Moira.
Faunus swallowed Saturn’s direct.
It was night and the lovers were where they were often when the sky was dark, and the stars were out.
Tangled up together on their daybed by the fountain.
They were sipping wine and eating almonds dusted with Airen’s golden salt, talking, lazily stroking, and letting go of the day so they could go to their bed and sleep peacefully in the night.
They all still wore their double wedding chains.
Faunus had Moira’s leading from his right ear to his nose and lip.
Saturn’s from his left.
Moira took Saturn’s to her right, Faunus’s to the left.
And Saturn took Faunus’s to his right, Moira’s to his left.
But all of the stones on Moira’s were green.
“I have something you should know,” Moira said from her place sandwiched between the men who were lounged into a corner of the daybed.
“Yes?” Faunus asked.
“Mm?” Saturn murmured into his wineglass.
“I’m pregnant.”
Both men grew very still.
Moira carried on.
“And if it’s a boy, we’re naming him Teddy. And if it’s a girl, we’re naming her Teddy.”
Suddenly, the air all around them smelled of honeysuckle.
Faunus’s arms went about his wife, but his eyes lifted to the heavens.
“Are we all agreed?” Moira asked.
“Yes,” Saturn said, and at his words, Faunus’s gaze moved to him to catch him giving his husband a happy look before shoving his face in Moira’s neck, his arms that were about her as well, tightening.
She tipped her head back to Faunus.
Faunus looked into his beloved stellina’s beautiful face.
He smiled gently at her.
And he whispered, “Yes.”
She returned his smile.
They all pressed together.
Saturn pulled his face out of his wife’s neck.
Still tangled together in love and loyalty and hope for the future, they settled in.
