Incubus Dreams - October 22nd

Anita is sitting on the bed, legs folded indian-style, and she stares at the pair sitting on the couch. Both Asher and Jean-Claude look utterly at ease, faces blank, bodies relaxed. If she didn't know them better, she'd say they were casually waiting to have an everyday discussion about the weather.

But their careful expressions and relaxed positions speak volumes for their worry and discomfort.

"You can both stop looking like I'm about to execute one of you," she says, trying for a smile. "I promise, it's not that bad."

Asher laughs too, gasping as Anita shivers around him, sending an answering movement through his body.

"This is definitely one of the better ideas you have had, cher," he adds.

"In your own time, ma petite," he reassures. Even this was a giant leap forward, and more than he had expected when they'd begun. "For now, though, I suggest getting ourselves cleaned up, and then perhaps we could take you to dinner. If you are not hungry now, you will be soon, given the amount of blood you have lost."

"There is no rush," Asher reassures Anita, smiling as he brushes her hair back from her face.

"And mon merle noir is right," He runs his fingers through Jean-Claude's hair now, unable to stop touching them both.

"Perhaps we should share a bath, the three of us? To conserve water?" He's teasing, as is obvious from the smile on his face.

Jean-Claude hums thoughtfully. "The tub is large enough to accommodate all of us, I believe," he adds with a playful smile. "And it would probably be best if you were observed to ensure that you do not get dizzy or light-headed."

"For your own safety," Asher chuckles softly. "We can't have you slipping, after all." He's trying to look innocent, and failing miserably. He helps Anita off his lap, tugging her into his arms instead, Anita sitting sideways in his lap.

"Perhaps Jean-Claude could fill the tub?" He looks at Jean-Claude, trying to look pathetic and winsome.

"Precisely. Safety first, as they say."

Jean-Claude edges himself off the bed and stretches out the kinked leg muscles before heading into the bathroom to start the water running. When the tub is halfway full, he slips into the comforting warm water before calling out for the other two to join him.

Asher slides his arm under Anita's knees, cradling her in his arms as he stands easily, making his way through to the bathroom. He lowers her carefully into the water, before slipping in himself, humming softly in pleasure at the heat of the bath.

"I am glad you think so," Jean-Claude says, reaching around Asher to stroke Anita's thighs. "It certainly was for me as well." He lays back, resting his head against the edge of the tub, letting the water and the closeness soothe the tense muscles and nervous thoughts.

Asher says nothing, tilting his head to kiss Jean-Claude's jaw, tightening his grip gently, hugging Anita. He can think of nothing to say that will adequately express how he feels, nothing to give Anita and Jean-Claude save his affection.
