Bird of a Nest - Chapter 1: Chapter 1

Heat surrounded him. Sharp talons were digging into his sides, and the steady whistle of Nel'os' snoring drifted in the air peacefully. Feathers rested on top of him and Ryraso shifted slightly as something painfully poked into his side. Talon's tightened, not wanting to let him go. Ryraso opened an eye and looked over where he was.
He was naked. All four of them were, with white sheets wrapped around them and the first rays of sunshine surrounding them. Nel'os was firmly buried into his chest, and it was his talon's clutching him. Ryraso gently rested his lips on Nel'os forehead and Nel'os snuggled in cooing gently. If there were a doubts about Nel'os' feelings for him, last night had made them perfectly clear. Nel'os had clung onto him throughout the fun, more so than the other two. Desperately, so. His normal sass during sex gone and instead replaced with a need to claim Ryraso.
All of them had been desperate to claim Ryraso. Barely holding back from actually doing the act but thankfully the rules had not been broken. Lips, fingers and feathers had caressed him but nothing had penetrated him. Not yet. Ryraso was starting to actually look forward to that now. Looking forward to the delicious ache that would come after.
Groaning at the thought, Ryraso shifted again as part of him starting reacting to the thoughts. Tai'ray's lips against the back of his neck didn't help. He was suddenly incredibly aware of every point they were joined. From Tai'ray's heat running down his back, his hands were lower than Nel'os, closer to his groin, once resting on his thigh. Nel'os had one hand on his chest, his talons now gently kneading across his skin in circles, the other was resting over his waist. Tai'ray shifted close, something distinctly hot and hard pressing against his back and moving downwards as Tai'ray shifted. A sleepy but contented grumble burst from Tai'ray and the two bodies moved ever closer to him.
Flushing red, Ryraso tried not to move too much, not wanting things to move any closer to other things. "Tai?" he hissed, digging his elbow into the man's side but Tai'ray only hummed and nipped Ryraso's neck warningly. All primal side this morning and less of the sentient being that he was typical. Exhaling Ryraso tried to think of things to make himself less happy but just as he was starting to success, a hand shifted over his member, perking it back up.
"Having an issue?" Dyn'ad chuckled from somewhere above him.
Ryraso opened his eyes and looked up at a smirking Dyn'ad who was sitting up above them in a protective manner. "Help?" he croaked as the hand started moving in ways which were very pleasurable and making it very hard to stay still.
"Do you really mean that?" Dyn'ad asked with dark desire filling his eyes. "Seems to me you're very happy there." He leant down, the air became so hot it was hard to breathe and kissed Ryraso firmly. It burned down his body, making him stretch and wriggle. Nel'os' hands started moving and with a moan Ryraso gave in to the overflowing sensations.
By the time the sun was high in the sky, Ryraso was laying boneless on the bed with his head on Dyn'ad's lap as the k'nairi stroked his back gently. Nel'os and Tai'ray were up and dressed, both looking regal and distinctly pleased with themselves. Wings drifting over Ryraso gently as they passed him, Dyn'ad's fingers tracing patterns leaving Ryraso feeling about to fall to sleep again. His body was thrumming with the aftermath of their attention, slight pangs of aches from bite marks and nips.
"Need a massage?" Nel'os cooed, sitting next to Ryraso and running his hands up over his back pressing firmly down. Ryraso arched his back as his bones clicked into place and let out another moan, not quite able to respond in any other way at that moment. Nel'os chuckled, hands continuing to move over Ryraso's bare skin, happy to take advantage of Ryraso's current state. It had been far too long since he had been able to explore Ryraso's body and now Ryraso was finally comfortable enough with them to do so, Nel'os was going to take full advantage. The healer was theirs. He was also stubborn.
"You're like a cat," Dyn'ad grinned, shifting so Ryraso was laying on the bed without support. "A big fluffy cat."
Ryraso grumbled but it quickly turned to more moans as Nel'os straddled him and kneaded his muscles. He was barely aware as Tai'ray leant down and kissed him passionately on the lips with longing clear in his eyes. "Do try to keep him like this all day. Be fun to be able to spoil him for a while," Tai'ray hummed to Nel'os.
"Need to get up," Ryraso rumbled unhappily. As pleasant as this was, he had responsibilities.  Including three brats. "The boys..."
"Are fine," Tai'ray hushed. "And the only up you need to get is hard," he smirked. "Not that you need much help with that today," he winked, running a hand through Ryraso's hair fondly, before kissing Nel'os on the lips too.
Ryraso shot him a glare but his cock was definitely reacting again to fingers and talons massaging him and paying attention to where stress had been building. He let out a deep moan as something clicked and a weight disappeared from his shoulders. He slumped and let Nel'os continue to work him, more than happy to but the man to work. There were benefits to this relationship and Nel'os' skills at making him feel like he was floating in the air was definitely one of them.
Tai'ray left, leaving him with just Nel'os and Dyn'ad. Dyn'ad was getting dressed while Nel'os hand's made Ryraso drift happily in the air. Nel'os was good at this. Moving from his shoulders and back to his legs. It felt divine. Lips pressed against the back of his neck and hands encouraging him to move his hips upwards. A thigh pressed between his, giving him something to grind against as fingers danced over his sides.
"You make such pretty noises," Nel'os beamed, enjoying the moans as they left Ryraso. Ryraso bit his lip but Nel'os hands pretty much ruined his attempt to reduce them. Fingers starting to press in a far more personal place.
"Shouldn't let him be too greedy," Dyn'ad cautioned, stilling Ryraso's hips with a sharp slap to his behind. Ryraso pouted but stopped grinding against Nel'os' thigh, trying to hold still for the moment. He really was too old to be playing the spoilt brat but the sensations around him were too good to fight. He wanted this. He wanted release.
"But he's being so good for us," Nel'os pouted too, having been enjoying Ryraso being so needy and grinding against him. It was rare for the normally controlled human to be so open with his desires and Nel'os wanted it. He wanted it all. He wanted Ryraso spread open with nothing to hide for them to play with and make him scream with pleasure. He wanted Ryraso begging for more. He wanted things they couldn't do just yet but he wanted them so badly. He had lost one lover he could please like this. He didn't want to lose the other.
Nel'os couldn't take Dyn'ad or Tai'ray apart like this so they were almost speechless with pure need.  Dyn'ad couldn't relax enough and Tai'ray only would if Dyn'ad was also there. Between the two of them, Tai'ray usually won those games.
"He's being good, now lets see how good he's going to be," Dyn'ad said in his purr like tone, his hand running down Ryraso's curled back and cupping his head. Ryraso lifted up slightly but was pressed back down so his ass was still high in the air while his chest was on the mattress. "You are going to be good, aren't you dear one?" he cooed, pressing two fingers against Ryraso's lips and into Ryraso's mouth.
Ryraso couldn't help it, he whined but he dutifully sucked on the digits. He wriggled his hips but Nel'os held them still as his fingers pressed and rubbed his lower back and released all the knots and tension from it. Dyn'ad grinned approvingly and things got personal again.
Sun very high in the sky now and Ryraso waking up feeling slightly high. He was still naked and surprisingly clean. There was a bowl of water to the side with a cloth revealing one of his mates had cleaned him down after their fun. He flushed as he remembered what he had been pulled into several times now. He rolled off the bed and stretched out, the final clicks of his body settling into place as he went hunting for clothes. He had actually slept in the Royal nest. Well, done a lot more than sleeping but he had stayed in the room.
A gesture of acceptance. A gesture that had been badly needed the previous day. A gesture that meant he had no clean clothes had easy reach in the room and servants seemed to have spirited away his clothes from the previous day. Sighing as he failed to find anything suitable, Ryraso pulled on some of Dyn'ad clothes. Or, he guessed they were Dyn'ad's. It was a little hard to tell. They were plain though and Tai'ray and Nel'os wore fancy things. Tai'ray out of duty, Nel'os out of desire. Dyn'ad was a warrior and like healers, warriors had little need for fancy robes. Dyn'ad got away with it, Ryraso doubted he would.
"Oh, you're already up," a voice pouted from behind him and suddenly Nel'os' arms were wrapped around his shoulders. Nel'os was practically vibrating with contentment despite the previous few days and was purring softly. "I hoping to try for another round of fun."
"I think you've gotten all the fun you can from me for now," Ryraso chuckled, turning to hug Nel'os back.
"You smell like Dyn'ad," Nel'os mused happily. "Shame his clothes don't fit on you right," he sighed unhappily. "Be nice having you all scented as ours for a while." Lips kissed his cheek and Ryraso made a humming noise of his own.
Dyn'ad was the wrong person to be scenting him. Technically it was meant to be the head of the household who scented the newest member of its nest but officially the head of the royal nest was Tai'ray. Still, Ryraso understood Nel'os' desire to have him smelling like them. They wanted him as theirs as soon as possible.  Things were starting to speed up now. Now the next milestone would be the brand. Or rather the aftermath of the brand. He would get the right to heal in Navat again, he would be able to be properly intimate with the Royals again and he would be permanently bound to k'nairi lands.
"And you suddenly smell sour," Nel'os exhaled, letting go of Ryraso and rubbing his arm. "Don't worry about the future Ryraso. What will happen, will happen," he tried to reassure but he wasn't quite able to hide his own unease at this all either.
"The sooner my punishment had happened, the better. Sitting around and doing nothing really does not suit me," Ryraso smiled sadly, walking from the room and heading down the corridors to the consort rooms. Nel'os hurried after him, placing a hand on his lower back protectively.  "What are the others up to?" he asked softly.
"Tai'ray's in court at the moment. Dyn'ad is sparring with the warriors. Aw'endo is studying. Eyeri and Fetmar are learning k'nairi with General Yerir'o," Nel'os listed off cheerfully. "General Yerir'o seems keen to make a good relationship with Eyeri," he mused. "Good signs."
"Good signs," Ryraso agreed, shifting into the consort rooms and into his room. He changed into his own clothes, ignoring Nel'os' pouting. And his leering as Ryraso's skin came on show again. Ryraso rolled his eyes and gave Nel'os a look. Nel'os just beamed.
"You have to admit, you feel better after last night," Nel'os purred, lounging on the bed in a seductive pose.
Ryraso almost laughed at the sight and Nel'os looked slightly disappointed. "I feel good, yes. It's been a while since I let go like that. Last time was..." he trailed off and focused back on getting changed. Last time had been on the warship with Wiljam before things had got complicated between the two of them.
"Wiljam," Nel'os mused softly. "What ever happened between the two of you? For a while there it looked like if we ever got you back, we were going to have bring him too but then..." he trailed off. "You guys ended whatever relationship you had."
"Wasn't a relationship. It was relief from a need," Ryraso said dryly, being slightly too honest about what had been between him and Wiljam. They had slept together the first few times after drinking heavily. The engineer was rather good at sex and getting Ryraso's mind off the whole war so they continued doing it. It had been an arrangement between friends. He thought at the time any how.  "Even after the physical side of our relationship ended, Wiljam was a good friend to me," he added softly, trying not to think too much about the second half Nel'os' statement.
They brought Eyeri with them because he was Ryraso's apprentice and foster son. Would they have brought someone he loved? Yes, without a doubt and expected the poor bloke to just deal with k'nairi ways.  It was one of the reasons Ryraso had maintained a healthy gap with people. Didn't want to drag them into this.
"Ryraso, what happened?" Nel'os narrowed his eyes.
"I don't want to talk about it Nel," Ryraso said firmly.
"Ry..."
"Nel'os," Ryraso glared at Nel'os. Nel'os grimaced but nodded. "It's nothing to worry about. After all, Wiljam is firmly a Namya. The next time I hear about him is likely to be that he has been killed on the battlefield." he sighed sadly, not liking to think too hard on the fact his friends were still fighting while he was trapped behind enemy lines and willingly sleeping with them. He was a traitor now, past circumstances or not. He didn't like what he was becoming.
