A Lion's Fire
XXX
Axel knew he could make Leon love him. He just had to be a good spouse and let the proud Lion take care of him.
Easy enough.
Axel laid Leon's warm hand over the new heart beating in his breast. "Trusting you, with this, was the best thing I ever did. I couldn't have found a better mate. Thanks, Husband."
Leon's smiling lips brushed Axel's ear. "Quit thanking me and go to sleep."
Axel turned around, so he could nuzzle his nose with Leon's. "You might pull out if I do. I'm done with waking up and feeling empty."
Yawning, Leon hugged Axel closer. "Relax. Too tired. Should get more sleep bef-"
The two bodies stilled, when the bedroom door opened, letting in the third member of their family.
Heavy steps echoed throughout the room.
Unclothing in record time, Cloud Strife laid down behind Leon's body, resting himself against a tense back. "Don't stop talking on account of me. I could hear you just fine from the Gummi Hangar. Hope you saved a little for me."
Leon's lips thinned.
Burying his nose in Axel's hair, Leon inhaled the sweet fragrance. "Cloud. I'm tired. Axel needs rest too. I asked you not to visit him during lunchtime, but you did it anyway."
Answering Leon's growling, with a snigger, Cloud left a trail of kisses along tanned shoulder blades. "I'm supposed to leave Axel alone, when you're not around to play? He's my mate, Leon, just like you. Both marked. Both mine. You want in next time? Be home when you should be."
Releasing a snarl, Leon elbowed Cloud in the gut, making him move back.
Pulling out of a half-asleep Axel, Leon turned around, trying to punch Cloud's face. "Axel's my mate, you asshole! I married him; not you!"
Laughing in the face of Leon's ire, Cloud caught the fist, before the appendage made impact. "Doesn't matter. My mates. Mine to love. Forever and ever, until the day you die."
Missing his mate's warmth, inside and out, a pouting Axel viewed the nightly battle with narrowed green eyes.
Slithering up behind, Axel ran long white arms up Leon's strong chest, and lightly caressed the pink nipples.
Leon halted his rant, shuddering with the sensation.
Meeting Cloud's feral glowing gaze, Axel smirked. "My Husband. Mine to love. Forever and ever, until the day you die. Right, Cloud?"
Cloud's laughter became a solemn frown. He released Leon's fist. "Sneaky bitch. Think I'm not on to you. Tried to fool me with your tight ass before, Axel. Manipulative tricks won't work, even with that sweet smell of yours. See you dead before you and Squall leave me."
Simpering, Axel turned Leon's glaze-eyed face towards his. "Manipulative? Who me? You've got the wrong guy. I'm just enjoying my husband. Of course, if you want your nightly fucking, I'm not stopping you."
Completing the turn, so Leon's body lay flat, Axel released the mesmerizing scent, which never failed to enthrall his Lion. Lowering his head, he feasted on sweet lips.
Cognizant of the seduction happening, Leon accepted Axel's kisses, opening his mouth, so the tongues could intermingle.
Enclosing Axel's thin frame in muscular arms, Leon held a shivering Axel close. With Strife looming above them both, he would keep his pledge to keep his fiery love safe.
Cloud's rabid anger dissipated, the instant his two mates began to make-out.
Leaning to the side, eyes glued to view, Cloud grasped the bottle of lubrication on the nightstand. Lubricating his erection thoroughly, he moved Leon's long legs apart. Bending forward, with lubrication dripping from the fingers of his right hand, he began to prepare Leon for penetration.
Unlike Axel, Leon did not care, at all, for the rough stuff. He usually let Cloud know when the sex became too harsh, by kicking him hard in the face. He would then deny him for the rest of the night.
While Axel could never get away with this behavior, Leon could simply because he was Leon.
From their past break-ups, Cloud knew, without Axel, Leon never would have returned of his own free will.
Before Axel fell from the sky, Cloud had almost beaten Leon to death, before their last break-up, because he wouldn't submit fully to Cloud.
No amount of love nor pain would ever break the Lion's fortitude.
Fortunately, Axel did fall, and Leon did return, but not for Cloud.
Cloud had married Leon, after defeating Sephiroth the first time.
Leon had been in the middle of divorcing Cloud, when he found Axel half-dead in the Dark Depths.
Out of deep, newly heartfelt love for the soft Lion, and yearning to save his own hide from Cloud's madness, a manipulative Axel seduced Leon back to the psychotically possessive fold of the Strife house.
After falling in love with Axel, wishing him not to be killed by a jealous Cloud, Leon married Axel in Twilight Town.
Everything had been perfectly legal, since Leon had married Cloud in Radiant Garden.
Cloud grunted with satisfaction, managing to get three fingers into Leon's tight entrance.
Perfectly legal.
Cloud had made sure of the fact. His mates, until the day Squall and Axel died.
Axel's mouth inhaled all of Leon's grunts and groans from Cloud's ministrations. His hand, with its nimble fingers, caressed down Leon's torso, to end up grabbing Leon's weeping erection.
Raising his head, Axel smiled, running a sure hand along Leon's blood-filled shaft. "I want a taste, Leon. Let me taste?"
Grasping Axel's head with both hands, Leon answered the entreaty, by giving him a deep kiss. He then directed Axel to his dripping erection.
With a moan, Leon flung his head back, when Axel sucked in the head with gusto.
Growling at the gorgeous sight before him, Cloud flung Leon's knees over each of his shoulders. Grabbing tight hold of Leon's gyrating hips, he pulled Leon down onto his erection. He groaned with the feeling of Leon's canal enclosing him tight.
Startled, Leon yelled at the uncomfortable, filling sensation of being penetrated. Hands clenched the bed sheets surrounding his sweaty body.
Feeling Leon's form unconsciously fighting him, Cloud made small thrusts.
With a shudder, Leon yelled out again, showing his prostate had been found.
Reaffirming his hold on squirming hips, Cloud directed all further thrusts to that one spot, rotating his hips, ensuring he brushed the gland every time.
Leon thrashed. The delirious pleasure racing through his body. So good!
The loving from both of Leon's mates. Axel and Cloud. One, called Spouse, beloved with all his heart. The other, called Husband, who held the Darkness to his Light.
The Lion had been so sure before. He would be able to live without Cloud, with Axel by his side.
With Axel's constant manipulation, and Cloud's possessive devotion, Leon wasn't sure of anything anymore.
Exactly how his two mates wanted the situation to be.
If Leon couldn't choose, then neither one would have to go.
Common sense had no business in this relationship.
Axel inhaled, swallowing Leon's erection, deep-throating the throbbing member. His head resumed its bobbing up and down. Tongue reveling in the salty taste of his Lion. His hand moving down to fist his own erection to completion.
Releasing a shout, Leon grasped onto Axel's bobbing head with both hands, feeling his lower stomach tightening up. "Axel! Ah Gods! I'm gonna come! Slow down! I'm going to come!"
Instead of slowing down, Axel grinned inside his head, and began to swallow around Leon's pulsating erection. His hand masturbating harder.
Leon wasn't the only one close to coming.
Hearing Leon's shout, Cloud grunted, speeding sped up his thrusts to match Axel's motions.
With two mates working against him, Leon could not hold out for long.
Almost tearing Axel's hair out, Leon released down a gulping throat with a loud shout.
Ignoring the pain running through his scalp, Axel didn't stop gulping, until Leon had emptied himself. Resting his head against Leon's stomach, with a sigh, he finished himself off with a twist and a groan.
Axel began to wipe the soiled hand on the bedspread, when Leon caught the appendage.
Bringing the hand to his lips, Leon licked the palm dry.
Witnessing all this, with a groan, Cloud pounded even harder into Leon's relaxed body.
Clasping weakened arms around Cloud's neck, Leon locked his ankles around the small of Cloud's back, in an attempt to hang on.
Axel gazed at a laboring Cloud with amusement. Things sure looked different, when his body wasn't the one being hammered into a new shape.
Grunting with the effort, holding Leon's hips flush against his own, Cloud came into Leon's body. Desperate love-filled eyes never leaving Leon's lusty gaze. "I love you, Squall. Love you so much. Say you love me too."
Still unsure of himself, but knowing no sleep would be had, if he didn't answer in the correct way, Leon smiled.
Running his hands down Cloud's chest, Leon skimmed his fingers along strong abs. "I love you, Cloud. I wouldn't be here, if I didn't love you."
Not wanting to be left out, Axel kissed up Leon's chest, and nestled his head next to Leon's. "Me too, Leon? Do you love me, too?"
Chuckling, Leon snuggled Axel close, while a content Cloud pulled out. "Where's that ring?"
Bringing left hand up to show Leon, Axel's rare true smile lit up his whole face. "I never take it off, Leon. Never ever."
Holding the long-fingered hand in his own, Leon kissed the ring. He mentally reminded himself of his duty and pledge towards his love. "Good. I love you, Axel. I always will; no matter what. I swore on Griever's might, when we got married, and I reaffirm that pledge now. Not even death will change this, I swear."
Axel hid a grateful face in Leon's neck, while Leon clasped Axel's hands to his own chest. "It was the luckiest day this Nobody ever had, when I spied your softness, Leon. I'm sorry you have to keep reminding me."
Trying to ignore Cloud settling behind him, clutching his waist in an iron grip, Leon kissed the top of Axel's head. "Don't be sorry. I'll just keep reminding you, until the pledge sticks. Come on. I'm really tired now. Let's go to sleep."
Yawning, with a nod, Axel snuggled up close, burying his nose in Leon's chest. Safe and sound. His Lion protecting him always.
Waiting, until Axel fell into a deep sleep, Leon opened blue-grey eyes. He stared down at his love, but directed his attention to the figure behind him. "I know you don't sleep, so don't try to fake it. You can't watch us forever."
Cloud bit down on Leon's shoulder. "I didn't hurt him this afternoon. He came twice before you showed up. Is it my fault he's so loud? Besides, you hate being tied up. Axel loves the ropes and belts. I'm just giving him what he wants."
Holding Axel closer, Leon moved his shoulder out of the way. "Don't use that for an excuse. I've tied up Axel too. You just don't like to see me in control. Admit it."
Growling, Cloud reached up to grasp Leon's mane. He pulled Leon's head back, so their steely gazes met. "Don't care what the bitch says. I'm the husband around here, Squall. Don't you forget it."
Leon snarled, pulling his head away. He would move his whole body away, if Cloud let go, but Cloud would never let go. "Animal. How could I have fallen in love with you? Don't know what I was thinking. Can't watch us forever. Take my mate and get far away. Somewhere a disgusting animal like you can never find us."
Rubbing his erection against Leon's defenseless bottom, Cloud leered, when a shocked Leon half-turned. "Don't want to wake up Axel. Do we? Like you said, he needs his sleep."
Turning back around, holding his deeply slumbering mate close, Leon hid his blushing face in Axel's red hair. He bit down on his lower lip to stifle a groan, when Cloud separated his lower cheeks, and thrust into the loosened entrance.
With the sound of skin slapping against skin, Cloud's grunts filled the room.
Leon couldn't help himself and released a moan of pleasure.
Cloud grinned. He didn't deny Leon's slander.
Cloud Strife, Disgusting Animal, at your service.
Cloud's smile became even wider, with his doubled pounding into Leon's bruised ass.
An ecstatically happy disgusting animal, with two delicious mates, and a killer bike.
Cloud truly didn't see what Leon had to complain about.
Compared to the past, Cloud's life could only be likened to a bed of sweet-smelling flowers.
Cloud held his moaning Lion close, by opening his embrace farther, to encompass a sleeping Axel.
Silly Lion could roar all he wanted to.
No one would ever take this Heaven away from Cloud Strife. No one.
