Ed found himself agreeing before he’d really considered the words coming out of Stede’s mouth, the hopeful face he was making and the way he held Ed’s shoulders as he asked, it turned Ed inside out. Stede’s eyes were alight with excitement, which could mean anything really, from camping on the side of a mountain, to some fancy art show, or even just going to see a movie, it didn’t matter anyway though, Ed had already agreed. He couldn’t find it in him to regret his hasty acceptance not with the way the other man’s face was split so wide in that giddy smile Ed cherished.
“…what’re we doing? “ Ed murmured brushing a curl that was across Stede’s forehead.
Fucking Whitewater Rafting, he grumbled as he settled into the the raft, which was not secure enough for his liking, and watched as Izzy barely bit back a scathing comment as he was forced into a helmet before being helped into the seat next to Stede by their guide.
Stede was beside himself with glee, his bright green helmet a little snug with his piles of blonde curls stuffed in and a happy glow on his cheeks, and that’s the only thing that kept Izzy’s doubtlessly negative commentary from coming out of his mouth.
Izzy and Ed traded looks, Izzy irate and red cheeked with rage, Ed apologetic and a little scared.
It was fucking madness, is what it was, and it wasn’t the first time.
Now, Ed didn’t scare easy, not by a mile. He had spent his youth running with some pretty dark characters, it’s how he met Izzy, but he was in his fucking forties for gods sake, he was getting too old to risk his life this way.
He thought when he’d left the life of shady warehouse deals and guns that didn’t make noise when they fired behind him he would stop feeling that flipping feeling in his gut, the one that made him feel weightless, in a bad way, but how wrong he was.
Sure, it took a few years, a few boring years in which Ed and Izzy forced themselves to try and fit a particular mold of a person. They got real jobs, drove cars without blacked out windows, bought a house, got married, shit, Izzy even had good credit.
And then Stede Bonnet entered their lives, and asked them to do ridiculously stupid things like Whitewater Rafting, or Bungee Jumping, or Horse Riding Lessons,
All of which somehow made both hardened men fear for their lives far more than any shoot out or sketchy job they had ever worked.
And what’s worse is they just kept letting him get away with it.
Izzy, in particular, really wasn’t one to put up with such nonsense, but here he was being rocked against the waves with them, still just as pouty and full of rage as he was when he agreed to the excursion.
It seemed neither of them could deny the absolutely fucking batshit man in front of them, not for anything.
Stede had started off the ride gleefully giggling as they smacked against rocks, jerking foreword with the force of the water, but by the end even he seemed reasonably happy to have his legs on firm rock once more.
In the end, it went the way it always did.
The ride back, silent but for Stede’s enthusiastic debrief,
Stede, as they pulled into the intersection that brought them to the turn to enter Ed and Izzy’s neighborhood, already listing off the take out options that he preferred for them to choose from,
Izzy clenching the wheel to keep his bitter thoughts to himself as he mentally cursed the day he allowed Ed to bring the idiotic man into their home,
Ed, body still unclenching from the fear the bumpy raft ride had given him, genuinely weighing the pros and cons of ordering Indian or Mexican food tonight,
And as the front door clicked shut and their shoes were off, it was as it always was, Izzy and Ed considering telling Stede they were not under any circumstances going on any more of their trips. Izzy turned in the wide open space of the living room, his face still flushed with his outrage and it looked like he was about to spit out words that may have reason behind them. But Stede barely looked at him as he cupped Izzy’s face and rushed in for a sweet kiss.
Their lips moved together unrushed as Stede held the smaller man’s body to his, his chest warming with Izzy’s body heat as their lips opened to each other.
Izzy looked like Stede had sucked all the anger out of his lungs as they pulled away, effectively shutting down any protest the man may have raised.
Fucking chump, that weak willed weas—
But then Stede was already kissing up the length of Ed’s neck, masterfully oblivious to Ed’s eye twitching at Izzy’s inability to have his back on this one simple—
Stede’s warm breath and soft lips were chasing away his own mutinous thoughts, the way he was moving up Ed’s thick vein to inch along his jaw to let out a soft huff of air just below Ed’s ear sending shivers through his body.
”Do you want to shower?”
Ed was nodding and following them up the stairs before he could remember that he was actually quite irritated with them both, and as he moved to step through the bathroom door he tried to find some resolve.
He was putting his foot down.
No more life threatening adventures.
No more waking up ass early to go tumble through a dark musty cave Stede had found on the internet,
No more rock climbing classes,
No more!
Ed moved through the door to find the shower already warming, and both men peeling their clothes off, Izzy handing his over to Stede to put in the wicker hamper that he insisted they keep in their bathroom.
But Ed was weak, he bemoaned it as he lifted his own shirt to slip into the basket.
Izzy was almost bare and as he slid fabric down his body more and more did the inches of naked skin reveal themself to Ed. His tattoo’s, many of which were done in the time they knew each other, they covered his body, much more than Ed’s own, and it went straight to Ed’s dick like it always did.
Stede was naked, his wide shoulders and the muscular expanse of his back exposed to Ed’s hands, which he didn’t actually remember moving to touch the man, but they were sliding down the humid skin as he crowded into the warm water with them.
Stede washed them both with a frilly soapy loofah, kissing over the clean trails he left behind, and he hardly remembered to clean himself as turned Ed and Izzy to face each other. Stede took their hard cocks in his hands and bringing them to the edge of orgasm before they pushed his hands away, deciding between them they craved something else for their trouble.
They let Stede dry them with one of the many fluffy towels he had purchased for their house, and they allowed the soft languid kisses Stede gave them as they tugged him towards their bedroom.
The bed was bigger than it was months ago, another of Stede’s contributions, and while he didn’t live with them technically, he might as well have, as everything in the room had his flowery touch.
The bedspread that was still tightly made from the morning that Ed threw Stede down onto,
The soft ambient lighting provided by the light fixture Stede had made Izzy change that was flicked on as Izzy shut the door behind them,
It was all Stede, because they just never told him no, did they? They just let him come into their lives and turn everything in their world into his, and Ed couldn’t even find it in him to be annoyed because Stede was letting him kiss him so hard as he pushed him into the soft velvet below.
Stede laid pliant as Ed took what he wanted from his mouth, only moving his arm to reach for Izzy as he crawled onto the bed to join them.
Ed was ground down into Stede’s waiting body, their cocks brushing teasingly as Ed worked down Stede’s neck to bite at the wisps of hair that covered Stede’s chest, blond so they almost blended into his sun kissed flesh, and moving down to tongue at his dusky nipples as Izzy took over his punishing kiss.
Stede had come to them freshly divorced and so beautifully inexperienced, in a way you just don’t get to explore so late in life, and Ed couldn’t help but want to show him all he had missed out on while he pretended he was sexually attracted to women.
Stede had not been innocent, but he had only allowed himself to enjoy the body of another a handful of times, a few fumbling embarrassing college experiences that left him in doubt of his own abilities, and an almost entirely sexless marriage, and nothing at all with men.
Izzy had wanted no part of it.
“I’m not teaching a grown ass man how to suck dick.”
Had been his words, if Ed recalled.
He didn’t seem to be complaining now though, as Stede reached to jerk his cock back to hardness,
“Please, please, Izzy,” Stede mumbled into his mouth.
In fact, it was almost embarrassing how fast Izzy scrambled to give Stede what he wanted when Stede pulled back from the kiss with those glittering, pleased eyes and asked nicely.
“Izzy please,” He gasped cradling Izzy’s cheek as he pulled back, his cheeks tinged pink from the pleasure.
Ed was already reaching around for the lube they kept in the side drawer, trying not to disconnect his lips from the dip of Stede’s strong core, but ultimately failing and having to shift off him.
Ed took the time to watch as Stede took Izzy into his mouth, moaning gratefully as Izzy’s pink head slipped passed his lips, his hands coming to rest on Izzy's hips as Izzy inched closer, not moving to shift on top of Stede.
Stede sucked as much of Izzy down as he could without moving from the position Ed had laid him in, bobbing his head until his throat started to squelch with the amount of saliva built into his throat as it moved around Izzy’s cock.
Izzy carted a hand lovingly through the blonde curls and pumped his hips, not enough to fuck Stede’s face but enough to choke him, just a little.
Ed watched bewitched by the sight of it, Stede moaning like a whore, barely even touched yet, and Izzy gazing down at him almost proud as he let their boyfriend feast on every inch of hard cock Izzy stuffed into his warm mouth.
Ed eventually did push Izzy back, enough so he could flip Stede onto his knees, pushing his head back down so his mouth was back around Izzy, who was sat in front of him legs spread wide, cock at eye level with Stede.
Stede wasted no time sucking the hard inches into his mouth again, moaning greedily as precum dribbled onto his cradled tongue.
”Look at you.” Ed breathed letting himself stretch along the expanse of Stede’s back as he hooked one finger into the tight ring of muscle.
Held only by his aching knees he refused to move off of Stede, and took his free hand to shove Stede’s head down onto Izzy without care for the violent wet choking, Stede had taken cock down his throat much harder than this.
Ed let his fingers work their way inside the velvety suction of Stede’s body and he finally let up on the hurried pace of his shoves on Stede’s head as it looked like Izzy might cum. Ed let him ease up as he kissed into the warm beating point of Stede’s neck as he crooked his fingers just right.
”Ed!” Stede lifted off Izzy’s cock only to lay his face helplessly in the junction of Izzy’s leg and crotch.
Ed let it propel him, keeping his fingers angled as he drove into Stede until he was gasping out unintelligible pleas.
Ed would generously describe his next actions as putting the poor guy out of his misery, but truthfully it was only for his benefit that he barely took the time to slide lube on to his hard cock and let himself rut wildly into the tight hole.
”oh!”
Stede gave a little exclamation, one pleasured gasp as he was entered before he was burying his face in Izzy’s crotch again, trying to muffle the desperate cries being ripped from him as he clutched onto the soft fabric of the bed spread.
Izzy at some point during the savage fucking had reached down to grip the base of Stede’s cock, denying him the peak of his pleasure.
”Not yet.” Izzy murmured almost gently as he caressed Stede’s soft reddening cheek.
Stede gave a bratty whimper but made no move to remove the hand from himself.
Ed watched the scene with a sharp stab of ache that he had learned was love, and he tucked it inside his chest until he could press sweet kisses into their skin later.
For now, the tension behind his pelvis was building and he could feel it inch down his body as he felt his cock slide in and out of Stede’s tight ass. He watched as the tan pink skin of his ass became reddened with every half hearted slap he gave it just to see it bounce back as he plowed deeper inside.
“You’re so fucking pretty.” Ed didn’t mean for it to come out as slurred as it did.
He couldn’t truly blame himself though, as he watched Stede already arched back bend further, allowing Ed easier access to the warm grip of Stede’s body.
Ed felt the splash of cum into Stede before the orgasm swept through him. He shuddered with pleasure as he fucked his release further into Stede’s body.
His cock softened and Ed allowed himself to flop down next to them as he watched with rapt attention as Izzy dragged Stede’s relaxed body to hover over his cock.
Stede let himself sink down gently, the gush of cum easing the dry push of Izzy into his body.
”Izzy,” Stede panted out, his head tilted back as he felt the slide of Izzy inside him.
Stede tried to move up and down, but was stopped when inching down, and only had a second to give a pathetic half choked protest as Izzy held his hips in a tight grip. His protests died with pleasured wail as Izzy fucked up into him, harder and faster than Ed’s punishing pace, leaving bruises on curve of hip as he propped him up.
Izzy fucked him like he was nothing but a wet hole. The grip around Stede’s cock had lifted and he could finally feel the rush of pleasure as he came in violent spasm across Izzy’s chest, one streak painting his sharp cheekbone.
Something about the sensation of Stede’s clenching body, the swipe of Ed’s tongue catching the stray droplets of Stede’s cum off his cheek, but the orgasm that ripped through him was unexpected and strong enough to leave his vision hazy around the peripheral. It only allowed him enough clarity to watch the blissed out relaxed expression painting Stede’s face.
Ed wiped them up with the hand towel Stede insisted on keeping in the side table, and settled into the embrace Izzy and Stede were already sharing.
They took a few minutes laid together in comfortable silence, the only sound in the room being their catching breaths.
“Indian.” Izzy grumbled from under Stede’s arm.
”I was thinking the same thing!” Stede beamed.
“I can call.” Ed offered admiring how comfortable they looked as they laid bare together under the soft velvet of the comforter.
When he returned from downstairs, having to look through the pile of take out menu’s they kept stuck on the fridge, he found Stede laying atop Izzy in familiar fashion.
Izzy was shamelessly running his hands down the soft skin that covered the firm curve of Stede’s bare ass, eyes shifted to stare as he cupped and released one cheek.
Stede was chattering on excitedly, not at all deterred by Izzy obviously not listening to a word out of his mouth.
”Doesn’t that sound fun?” Stede exclaimed.
Izzy’s attention snapped back to the blonde man on top of him, the excited sweet eyes staring into his.
”Yeah, whatever.” Izzy nodded absently and accepted the ridiculous squee that came from Stede only because what followed was a warm kiss being pressed into his lips.
Got him again, huh? Ed thought with a shake of his head.
