Part 1: Christmas Eve
By JezT ([email protected])
Pairing: Ethan/Brad, Ethan/Brad/Jack, Jack/Tobey
Spoilers: Up to and including True Love, after that things change.
Summary: One isn't always fun, but then three is not always a crowd. Jack
learns a thing or two about love and gets laid in the process.
Dedication: Ask and ye shall receive. ;)
Author's notes: After writing "Not So Bad" I realised how little we actually
know about Brad and it got me to thinking that maybe we ought to see more of
the man in Ethan's life. I wanted to give him a nice side after the nasty
portrayal I gave him, so here it is...I apologise for the fact that this
story is so out of sync with the seasons, but who says it can't be Christmas
everyday!?!
//thoughts//
*emphasis*
Jack shivered from the cold and pulled his coat more tightly around him, it was the coldest Christmas in Capesidian history and Jack was wandering the streets with nowhere to go. There was a party at Grams' but Jack wanted to be alone, Christmas was a time for family and with the absence of his own relatives in his life he did not feel like celebrating. Andie was in Providence with her mother getting treatment for another bout of depression and his father was on some business trip or seeing the mistress that Jack had discovered he kept, there was no one that Jack wanted to be with tonight,
not that he could have anyway.
The figure crossing the street carrying a bag of groceries from the seven eleven that was open until late was not a person that he recognised, that was until they approached him directly, by then it was too late to get away.
"Jack right?" The familiar face asked. "What's a guy like you doing out on a night like this?" Jack stayed silent not sure what to say. "Okay, bad pick up line, I'm taking that you remember me. I'm Brad, Ethan's other and I would say better half."
"I know who you are." Jack said regretting the curt statement as soon as it had slipped out.
"Ouch. I can sense a little bitterness that I can fully understand, after all I'm the other woman ...or something." Brad joked, Jack was finding it hard to dislike him now that he had actually had a chance to get to talk to him. "Look, if you've got nothing better to do Ethan and I are staying at my parents Summer house in town and I know that he would love to see you." Brad said. Jack stared at him incredulously, he could hardly believe that he was being given the chance that he had wished for.
"Sure." Jack said. "As long as I'm not intruding."
"No, to be honest it'll be a good present for Ethan, he misses you a lot." Jack swallowed as he heard the words that he could only have hoped to hear. After he had gone to Boston to kiss Ethan and made a fool of himself the one thing that he had missed more than the love was the friendship, the simple things that he had missed the most. If there was a chance to get that back then he would overlook the feelings that still burnt deeply inside him. He smiled to Brad and took one of the bags from his arms and followed the guy that he had for so long seen as a threat. Maybe there was a chance that he would not be completely alone for Christmas after all.
"Hi honey, I'm home." Brad called jokingly as he opened the door to the house that stood on the Creek's edge. It had been only a short walk for the pair of them to the house but it had been travelled in silence both lost in their own thoughts. Ethan came out into the hall as Brad came through the door. "I even managed to find you a little something else while I was out. Think of it as an early Christmas present." Brad commented as Jack sheepishly came through the door. Ethan's face broke into a look of shock followed by a broad smile, despite the circumstances that had clouded their last meeting he really had missed Jack.
"Hey." Jack said quietly, not exactly sure what the protocol was in these situations.
"Hi Jack. Come in." Ethan said hospitably. "I'm surprised that you aren't out with your family tonight." He said, but seeing Jack's face fall he wondered if he'd said the wrong thing, Brad stepped in and took the bag from Jack and spoke up.
"Jack was at a loose end so I invited him for dinner tonight." He said, almost daring Ethan to challenge him. "Why don't you two go and settle down in the lounge while I put on the dinner. I hope that pasta is okay Jack, being two relatively pampered and spoiled children E and I aren't exactly domesticated."
"It's fine." Jack said. "Sure beats whatever leftovers I would be heating up if I were home." he said, Ethan took his hand and led him into a cosy lounge where they chatted idly, not allowing much more than small talk while trying to find out the place that they felt comfortable together. Brad stood in the kitchen trying not to listen but finding himself drawn to the two of them. It was easy for him to see what it was that had drawn his boyfriend to Jack and indeed what it was that had Ethan pining for the other boy. If he ever truly wanted Ethan's heart for himself he knew that he was going to have to
allow him to get over whatever obligation it was that he felt for Jack, but now he had met the boy it was becoming harder to hate him. Jack was no longer a threat to his stability but a gorgeous brunette that not only turned Ethan on but got Brad's juices flowing as well, still, maybe he could use the joint attraction to his advantage.
Dinner was quiet and subdued, but even if there was an uncomfortable air Jack found that as they continued with the meal he relaxed in the company. Brad was a good cook even if he didn't know it and his pasta while simple was well fitted to the wine that they were drinking. The conversation flowed more freely as the wine was consumed and the evening drew out more easily as the alcohol loosened them up. After a light desert of fruit salad, 'a delicious irony' Brad had called it to much laughter the trio settled in the lounge to talk, over a few beers this time.
Jack was aware of the amount of alcohol that they were drinking, but Ethan didn't seem to care that Jack was slowly getting drunk and they were all estranged from their families and looked as if they needed it as much as he did. Brad and Ethan were sat together on the couch and Jack felt himself getting more and more uncomfortable as Brad began first to cuddle up to Ethan and then to nibble on his ear.
"Um...maybe I ought to be going home." Jack said as he felt the telltale signs of an erection growing in his jeans, jeans that were apparently getting tighter with each erotic touch that he witnessed between the pair.
"Don't go." Brad said, pulling gently back from Ethan, unaware of the sigh that his lover let out as he felt the cool air on the wet traces that Brad'stongue had left on his neck. Brad moved closer to Jack who sat on the othercouch and pulled him to him. "You know that I think about that day last summer a lot, do you know how hot it was watching you kiss Ethan." Brad purred as he began to stroke Jack's thighs and then leaned in to kiss him.
"B..Brad?" Jack stuttered, feeling himself lose all sense of reality.
"I always wondered what these lips tasted like." Brad breathed, each word vibrating against Jack's lips, before he finally pressed his lips to Jack's and kissed him. "Mmm...now I know what it was that Ethan was getting hard over."
The pair exchanged a few kisses before pulling back to the sound of Ethan groaning, Brad had thought that the sight might turn his lover on but he had not thought he too would want Jack. Brad was beginning to feel the familiarstiffening that the moan from Ethan usually induced, but it was Jack who was causing it.
"You want him too don't you baby?" Brad purred to Ethan, watching the dreamy expression that passed over his face. "Jack, Are you okay with this?"
"With...what exactly?" Jack asked, not sure if he could believe the events that were unfolding. //Surely they aren't suggesting a threesome...//
"I want you, Ethan wants you and we know that you want E, so I guess what I'm saying is, are you okay with us *doing* instead of just wanting?"
"I...I've never..." Jack began...
"I know, but I'll show you, *we'll* show you." Brad replied. Pulling Jack tohis feet and leading him to the bedroom, Jack didn't know what was going to happen but at that moment he didn't really care, so he did all that he could and followed Brad and Ethan into the bedroom.
The bedroom was large with a grandiose bed that seemed to dominate the room, usually such a bed would seem welcoming and comfy but to Jack it was just one more thing that intimidated him. He wondered when it was that he had stepped out of Capeside and into the Twilight Zone, because this was not the sort of thing that happened in this small sleepy town and it especially did not happen to him.
"Jack, It's okay." Brad said, embracing the rigid boy from behind. Jack felt himself relax gently as his former rival rubbed his belly gently, how had he known how to calm him. "Shhh..." Brad whispered, the words a sweet caress to his ear. "Let me touch you, tempt you, tease you." He said, sliding his hand up Jack's jumper until he reached the smooth skin. Jack gasped and Brad, taking this as a good sign, ventured further undoing the buttons of Jack's shirt.
Jack was lost in the moment when he felt a cool mouth press to his neck, it was not Brad, he stood behind him, his hands caressing Jack's torso, that left only one person. Jack opened his eyes and saw that Ethan was only a few inches away from him, their eyes met and it was only a moment before they were kissing. Jack felt his tongue melt into that of his partner, sharing what had before been a forbidden kiss. The pair kissed until they needed to separate, both panting in a need to get air as well as the passion that hadpassed between them. Brad felt a small twinge of jealousy until he realised
that both of the boys were his and that he had no reason to envy them. He reached around Jack and pulled Ethan to him, suddenly needing to feel his boyfriend and hear that wonderful moan on his own lips as Ethan's erection brushed with Jack's. Brad felt his cock stiffen in response and knew that it was time to move the party on. Trying not to upset the proceedings he gently motioned Ethan toward the bed and was pleasantly surprised when Jack followed.
Jack was aware that threesomes were not the usual first time experience for gay teenagers, and that he ought to be more nervous but this felt right. He had fantasised about Ethan on more than one occasion, both in his private sessions with his right hand and in X-rated wet dreams. Now it was like everything was coming together and he was finally getting to live his dreams.
Brad continued to kiss Ethan while Jack sat back down on the bed, he watchedas the two lovers feasted on each other and rather than feeling threatened felt grateful that they were willing to share their love with him. He slipped off his own shirt then reached for Ethan's undressing him in a mirror move to the one Brad had used on him.
Ethan and Brad parted, Ethan sat on the bed next to Jack and kissed him while Brad divested himself of his own shirt, then rashly decided to remove his jeans as well. He was glad to see that Ethan was removing Jack's pants and that Jack was fumbling between kisses with the tab of Ethan's jeans. Brad reached out and batted Jack's hand away, wanting to strip his own lover but also wanting to help the two of them remain as they were. It was almost as hot to watch the duo as it was to be the one receiving the kisses. Placing a gentle touch of lips on Ethan's sweaty neck Brad reached around his lover's middle and slid a hand into his jeans, eliciting a loud groan as Ethan arched into the touch, forcing the back of Brad's hand to touch Jack's penis.
Jack felt the gentle brush of the back of the hand through his light cotton boxers, it was almost enough to push him over the edge but he waited, trying to calm himself for what was coming.
"Brad, I want you in me." Ethan said, feeling the pressure of his lover's erection at his back. Jack made eye contact with Brad and nodded, this was what Ethan needed and he did not want to come between the lovers. Brad nodded and then reached over Jack to the side table to grab the condom and lube that lay there. He was pretty sure that Jack had not seen these items before, but there was no time to stop for a lesson and he was glad that all Jack did was reach to take Ethan from Brad's arms so that Brad could prepare himself.
Brad removed his own boxers and watched as Jack did the same for both himself and Ethan, Jack reached a tentative hand down to stroke Ethan's erection and gasped when he felt an answering brush to his own cock.
"Hurry Brad." Ethan panted, Jack stilled his stroking, not wanting Ethan to come before he got what he wanted.
"Nearly there baby." Brad replied as he flipped the cap off the lube and then took Jack's hand. "Put a little on me." He said, watching as Jack's eyesgrew large for a moment before the boy did as he asked. The touch was exquisite, but it was not his aim. Ethan wanted him to fuck him and that was exactly what he was going to do. Taking the lube back from Jack Brad squirted it liberally on his fingers and inserted first one then two into his lover. Ethan groaned in response, a light sweat breaking out over his skin
as he got used to the invader, this was not a new experience, but it was new enough that he still needed a lot of preparation. Jack saw the small amount of discomfort on Ethan's face and was about to tell Brad to stop when he waspulled into a searing kiss by Ethan, then he watched in awe as Brad pulled his hand back and positioned his cock at Ethan's opening.
"I'm coming in baby." Brad said as he gently pushed in to the tight puckered opening. Brad was in ecstasy, the hot tightness that surrounded him sweet heaven, he saw the awe on Jack's face and pulled the boy to him wanting to again taste those sweet lips. Ethan wriggled a little, but his lover was not sure if it was due to the full sensation in his ass or because he was no longer the centre of attention. Pulling back from the kiss he indicated that Jack stroke Ethan, taking Jack's hand and placing it on his lover's penis.
Ethan was under attack from two arenas, Jack at the front plying his cock and stroking him to fruition and Brad behind him, pushing against his prostate and filling him with his huge member. It was too much for the Boston boy and soon enough he was spilling his seed into Jack's hand. Ethan's orgasm tightened his sphincter muscles and the additional tightness drove Brad over the edge too, Jack reached down to finish himself off only to find his hand batted away by Ethan, it only took a few strokes before he too came.
The trio lay in a collapsed state of post coital bliss, none of them having any energy to move. Brad used the last wisp of energy to pull out of Ethan, who groaned at the loss and remove the prophylactic he had used and toss it in the trash. Using his boxers to wipe the excess semen from them and then pull the comforter over the three of them. He found himself glad that his parents had a Kingsize bed, at least this way there was room for them all. He wondered if Jack would still be there come morning.
Jack woke from what had to be the most real and erotic of his Ethan fantasies, it was strange that he had dreamt of Ethan's boyfriend too, but not that he was lying in a sticky mess. It was not until he opened his eyes that he realised that this was not a dream at all. He was horrified at his behaviour, it was only the previous evening that he was lamenting on his father's affair and now he was commiting adultery with not one but both partners in a relationship. He reached for his boxers and pulled them on while searching out the rest of his clothes. Jack was sure that the other two would not want him there in the harsh light of day and even though it had been his fault he did not think that he could cope with that rejection after what they had done.
Brad heard the foot falls and muttered swearing that was coming from the opposite side of the bed and opened one eye to see what it was. Noticing Jack he woke fully and sat up.
"Jack, it's okay." He said, using the same whispered tone as he had the night before.
"Brad...I..." Jack began, even knowing that it was okay for the other two he still had a lot to sort out in his own head.
"I understand, really. It's a lot to cope with in one night." Brad said, Jack looked down at the shoe he held in his hand, not sure if he ought to put it on now that his escape had been discovered. "Go, I'll explain it to him." Brad said looking down at Ethan, Jack threw his former archenemy a thankful look and then turned to leave. As his hand hit the door Brad called out to him.
"Oh and Jack...Merry Christmas."
