Carnal Rites Ines Johnson (beautiful books to read .txt) 📖

Liam thought back to it. "Yes. Yes, she did. It was a breathy gasp. A moan like your first taste of berry pie."

"Good." Jaspir's voice was a purr. His shirt fell to the floor. Liam couldn't help but look at the man's bare chest.

Jaspir prowled slowly towards Liam. Liam took a step back, but his heel paused before contacting the ground. In the end, Liam returned his foot to its original place.

"Then what?" Jaspir's voice was low, making Liam think of a lion toying with his prey.

"Then—" Liam cleared his throat. Jaspir's hands were at the buttons of his pants. "What are you doing?"

"As you're teacher," Jaspir popped the first button open, "I'm checking your homework before we move on to the next lesson. Tell me, what did her face look like when she knew you were coming in for the kiss?"

Liam watched Jaspir's fingers work his pants’ buttons. "She looked surprised, but then her pupils dilated, and..."

"Continue."

Liam's gaze went back up to Jaspir's. There was desire in the other man's eyes. But somehow Liam knew it wasn't for him.

"This is getting you aroused, isn't it? Hearing about my exploits with her."

Jaspir shrugged. "What do you care? As long as it gets you what you want."

With all of his buttons undone Jaspir's pants slid off his hips.

"It looks like it’s getting you off, too," Jaspir smirked.

Liam's temper raged as hot as his cock. "I don't even like you."

"I don't care for you either. I only care that you please my lady."

"She's my lady. I will be her husband."

Jaspir's hand reached for Liam's pants. He jerked Liam to him using the other man's belt. Jaspir's eyes cleared like clouds moving away to reveal sunshine. When he spoke, it was quiet as the dawn. "I understand that, Liam. I understand that you will have a life with her. You'll hold her at night and see her at dawn. You'll have children with her. You'll grow old with her. But that doesn't mean I will ever stop loving her. It’s who I am. And this," Jaspir motioned between both of their cocks. "This is all that I can give her. So, yes, I get pleasure hearing that she was pleased; that what I taught you pleased her."

They stared each other down.

Until finally, Liam said, "She tasted like berries."

Jaspir grinned. "Yes. She does."

"Though I don't think she had any at the time."

"No, it’s just her natural scent. Amazing, isn't it?"

"Delicious."

They both grinned in memory.

"But we have a problem." Liam stepped out of Jaspir's grasp. "We've been studying the reproductive systems, trying to understand gender selection."

"I know; I've been following her research."

"You have?"

"Of course," Jaspir said. "She’s studying dominant genes and how traits are passed from parent to child. Recently she's switched her research to the science of gender selection."

Liam nodded through his astonishment at Jaspir's grasp of their work. "Well, we've found something. Something big."

Liam walked over to the bed, and sat down. Jaspir followed.

"We've been able to identify the difference between female and male spermatozoa," Liam continued.

"That means triads can now choose the sex of their unborn child," Jaspir said. "This is great news. She'll be heralded for this."

Liam sighed.

"Why aren't you elated for her?"

"Her Mother wants to use our research to begin artificial insemination."

"I don't know what that is?"

"It’s implanting the sperm directly into the uterus. No male needed. Or rather, no penis needed."

Jaspir's mouth rounded in an O of understanding. He was a penis for hire after all.

"They're bringing the matter before the Sisterhood in a matter of days," Liam continued. "They'll likely debate it for a few months before bringing it to the full chamber. Trials could begin as early as next season."

"That gives us plenty of time."

"For Merlyn and I, maybe. But what about the rest of mankind?"

"Your job is to worry about Merlyn and her pleasure."

Liam opened his mouth to protest, but Jaspir cut him off.

"Now, on to today's lesson."

Jaspir reached once more for Liam's pants, unbuckled the belt, and pulled them down. Liam let out a moan as his cock sprang free, its attention pointed straight at Jaspir.

"The first thing we learn in the temple is the similarities between men and women."

Jaspir grasped Liam's cock just below the head. Liam let out a sharp exhale.

"Both men and women share this bit of anatomy." Jaspir's finger rolled over Liam's cock head. His fingers came away sticky with moisture. "The only difference is that a woman's is smaller and it’s tucked at the apex of her labia. It’s called the clitoris."

Jaspir released Liam's cock and got right in his face. Liam groaned at the loss of contact. Jaspir waited until he had Liam's full attention.

"You do not ever enter Lady Merlyn without first worshiping at her clitoris. Do you understand?"

Liam immediately nodded his head. He was certain he would agree to anything to feel Jaspir's hands on him again.

"It's truly not hard to please a woman. She enjoys the same pleasure as you do."

Jaspir made firm circles around Liam's cock head. It wasn't long before Liam began to pant. His eyes rolled in his head.

"Most often women need a lighter touch."

Jaspir's thumb barely grazed Liam's cock head, forcing Liam to lift his hips for more pressure.

"A light touch makes them yearn for you, just like with the light kisses that I taught you."

Liam thrust to get to Jaspir's thumb. Finally, Jaspir gave Liam the pressure he sought.

"In Merlyn's case I would advise you to be firmer. Otherwise she'll be in her head, thinking about what you're doing instead of feeling it."

Liam felt his balls grow heavy, heavier actually. His release was imminent.

"The same way that you know when you're close to orgasm, is the same way that you can tell she's close. Her breathing will change. She'll begin to move involuntarily. You can slow her release down by changing speed."

Jaspir continued the pressure, but his thumb moved in slow strokes around Liam's cock head. The building pressure didn't burst forward, but neither did it recede. It collected like the
