Theorize With Me

“Baby, do you wanna be up on your knees so I can be under you, or do you want me beside you, or what?”

“Doesn't matter, wanna kiss you.” Azune pouted, reaching his closer hand towards Hal, who readily made his way to lay beside Azune, within reach for Azune to catch him by the back of the neck and drag him in.

With Julien jumping right into it, Hal decided to take his time with Azune's mouth. Ease him into the intensity that was to come. Not for the first time, Hal worried that Julien's presence would overwhelm Azune, but the truth behind Julien's bratting stuck with Hal. Something about their dynamic with and without Hal made Azune comfortable sharing this desire. Julien hadn't been all too forthright with what exactly Azune had said other than the remark about the shade of bruises he wanted, and while Hal knew that was only to allow Azune to share the rest for himself, the core thought Hal kept reminding himself was that Azune had trusted Julien with this first.

And Hal did relish the opportunity to slowly kiss Azune as the soft noises of pleasure slipped out and Julien teased Azune open. Julien was impatient as always but Hal welcomed the chance to relax into Azune and sink into the scene himself. With so many of his own reservations threatening to creep in, and how locked onto Azune's every sigh and twitch he was to account for them all, he worried Julien might feel pushed to the side, even though the original deal had only been that Julien could watch. That was until Azune pulled away with a gasp, his head craning to look down at Julien with astonishment.

“What? What did he do?” Hal asked, panic already rising.

“He pinched me.” Azune answered incredulously, and Hal bit back a laugh.

“Julien…” Hal said warningly.

“He liked it.” Julien countered petulantly.

“Is that true?”

“...Maybe?” Azune eked out as his face turned a bright red.

“Well then, it seems like you're right where you want to be.” Hal kissed Azune's forehead before turning back to Julien. “And you. You've been so good so far, but our deal was you could watch. Don't make me put you back on the floor, J.”

“You wouldn't do that.” Julien smirked as Hal caught Azune's chin and redirected his gaze back to himself.

“Well, push your luck and I guess we'll see if I would.” Hal murmured against Azune's lips before reconnecting them.

Hal's lips had only been back on Azune's for a matter of seconds before a truly pained groan startled Hal back. Looking down, Julien's teeth were clamped down hard around the flesh of Azune's ass. Instinctively Hal grabbed the leash on Julien's collar, ready to pull him away, but then the groan shifted into a deep rumbling moan. One he heard often from Julien but almost never from Azune.

“Fuck, Julien.” Azune practically growled, collapsing into pillows beside Hal once again. “More.”

As his tongue lathed at the tender skin, Julien's fingers teased Azune's hole open. Normally it took longer for the sky in Azune's eyes to turn hazy and for the waters to settle, but even as Julien began pinching at Azune's skin again, Azune's eyes softened and a deep appreciative groan or delighted gasp was all that interrupted Azune's panting. Hal decided then that Julien was right, and he was delighted to have Julien here for this if he could keep drawing noises like that out of Azune.

“You're practically purring, Dear-heart.” Hal cooed, fingers trailing up and down Azune's back. “Is this what you wanted?

“Want your marks too, Daddy.” Azune answered dazedly, tipping his head back and to the side to bare his neck. “Please?”

“Oh, how could I say no?”

Rolling over to hover over Azune, Hal leaned down and pressed open mouthed kisses along Azune's birthmark, lightly sucking on the skin until he reached the very tip. Then, when no more of the birthmark was left unlavished, Hal nibbled at the pale skin below it. Rewarded with a breathy moan directly into his ear, Hal suckled at the skin until he was sure the mark left would be as dark as the natural one beside it, and moved further down his neck and over his shoulder to repeat the process.

As Hal moved further from the birthmark itself, he started spreading the marks more, growing impatient himself. He wanted to see Azune's skin perfectly dappled with his and Julien's claiming marks, but with every unexpected bite and pinch drawing a groan now, Hal almost wanted to push Julien's face out of the way and start rewarding Julien for spilling this little secret with the show he had asked for.

“You ready for today's spanking yet, Dear-heart?” Hal asked instead, and Azune eagerly nodded. “I suppose we just have to wait until whenever J's satisfied with his work down there.”

Julien rolled his eyes to indicate he'd heard the not so subtle hint, but made no move to back off just yet. It wasn't until Azune's whines edged into desperation that Julien withdrew just enough to look up at Hal with a grin. He left Azune panting for a moment as he examined their collective work. Small dark bruises were already littering Azune's skin, but the hunger in Julien's eyes told Hal that Julien was anything but satisfied.

“You've been spoiling him too much, Halandil. Even just his back looks so beautiful.” Julien said.

“Any luck on his ass, J?”

“Nothing seems to last, Hal. It'll have to be your hand.” Julien reached out and took Hal's hand and tugged him towards the foot of the bed. “Come on. Let's not keep him waiting.”

Hal smiled at the little splotches from where Julien pinched and bit and sucked on the skin until it left little marks like constellations across Azune's lower back and upper thighs. In stark contrast, only a single lasting ring of teeth marks from that first harsh bite was visible on Azune's ass. Hal resisted the urge to coo at the realization that Julien had saved the remaining space for Hal to fulfill the specific fantasy Julien had shared on Azune's behalf, but made no similar effort for the urge to gently cup his cheek and pull him into a kiss.

“You wanna get set up with Azune and be ready to help him through it?”

“Yes, sir.”

“Good boy.” Hal patted Julien's cheek and nudged him out of the way.

Together Hal and Julien helped Azune to his knees and Julien shuffled to lay under him. Once the two were comfortably entangled, and Azune's face was tucked into Julien's shoulder to leave a few of his own bite marks Hal's hands naturally found their way to Azune. One settled on his lower back, and the other on his ass. Hal tentatively squeezed the flesh and drew a pleased hum from Azune.

“You're sure you want it as hard as Julien gets?” Hal asked.

Azune nodded. “If it goes bad, then I'm here with you. Both of you.”

“Keep an eye on him. If he-”

“If he looks or sounds any different than I expect him to, I will tell you.” Julien promised.

Hal took a deep breath, fingers tracing along Azune's skin as he immersed himself in the scene once more.

“You’ve been so good lately, Azune. But it's okay to have been bad. Nothing's gonna change, even if you have.”

“What if I've been really bad?”

“We'll just deal with it like we always do. Like this. You ready?”

“Yes, Daddy.”

The first smack seemed to deafen the room. Julien and Hal held their breath as they waited for Azune's reaction to process.

“Oh.” Azune almost sobbed, voice thick with some undetermined emotion.

“How was that?”

“A lot.”

“You said you could take it if I can.” Julien reminded mockingly.

“I-I can.”

“We can-”

“You heard him, Halandil.” Julien cut Hal off again. “He said he can handle it.”

Hal huffed, half in annoyance and half to breathe out the tension. “You're gonna get yours later.”

“I'm counting on it.”

And Azune did handle his first truly rough spanking well. He quickly devolved into a moaning, incoherent mess and took every hit just to push his hips back and up again to plead for the next with or without words. Truly the picture of perfect submission.

“Want you. Want you in me.” Azune babbled after not more than a minute or two. “Want you to fuck me, Daddy.”

“But we just got started, Baby boy.” Hal teased. “You can take a few more, right, baby boy? The pain's okay?”

“It's good. Really good.”

“You can feel the difference, can't you? The pain we run from, and the pain that brings us closer together.” Julien whispered.

“Yes, that. Wanna be closer with you. Feels good being closer with you.”

“Halandil.” Julien spoke, interrupting Hal's next swing without pulling his eyes from Azune's. “He's asking so nicely… If you must continue, surely you can do it while inside him.”

“Please-”
