"No way! Not a chance in hell!" Dimitri snarled, giving Adrian a look of pure loathing.
The inveterate bachelor shrugged, lifting his half-filled tumbler in a gesture that said 'take it or leave it.'
"Your call, but those are my terms," he said, raising an eyebrow at Rose as she placed a calming hand on Dimitri's forearm, turning to meet her man's furious brown eyes with her own.
"Maybe there's room for compromise?" she murmured, dragging the incensed Russian guardian into the kitchen of their small unit so they could talk.
What had started civilly enough with wine, cheese and conversation had quickly deteriorated. Both dhampirs, it was impossible for Rose and Dimitri to conceive naturally, but they wanted to start a family. After considering their options, they'd decided to approach Adrian Ivashkov -- Rose's former boyfriend, of sorts, and Dimitri's first cousin to see whether he was willing to provide the genetic material to enable a pregnancy. They'd both been delighted when he agreed -- until he'd stipulated he would only provide his seed the 'old fashioned way.'
"I'm not going to let him sleep with you!" Dimitri growled. "I couldn't bear it. The idea of him and you kills me. What if you enjoyed it! There are other people we can ask."
Rose sighed. Dimitri had been her only lover, and while having sex with Adrian wasn't on her bucket list, she was of the opinion the prize made it worth it.
"What if you made sure I enjoyed it?"
Dimitri stopped, eying his wife of two years suspiciously.
"What are you suggesting, Roza?" His voice sounded low and dangerous. Rose knew she had to tread carefully.
"I just mean, we've played out a lot of our fantasies, and we have a lot of toys. We're both pretty liberated sexually. But I have always fantasized about a threesome. The idea of two men, both satisfying me. It gives a lot of pleasant options."
The intensity of Dimitri's gaze changed. Darkened. His voice was still gravelly when he asked, "Do you like the idea of Adrian and I pleasuring you together?"
Rose moaned, blushing as the blood pooled beneath her skin. The thought of two men claiming her at once thrilled and excited her in ways she didn't entirely understand. But she knew it was something she wanted. Wanted desperately now the opportunity might have presented itself.
"Yes," she confessed, watching Dimitri carefully. "It's not that I want to have sex with Adrian. I like the idea of sex with you and another man. Any other man. And you have to admit, Adrian is a good candidate. I think he'd be willing, I know he wouldn't hurt me or tell anyone about it, and I like the idea of our baby being conceived in an act of passion you and I both participate in."
"There'd have to be rules," Dimitri said, considering the proposition.
"Yes, of course," Rose immediately acquiesced, her slit already moist at the thought of the pleasure two men would be able to wreak on her willing body.
"Okay then."
"Okay?" she gasped. "Are you sure? You won't feel too uncomfortable?"
"Roza, there's not much I wouldn't do to give you want you want. We want a baby, and we wanted Adrian to be the donor, so it is still biologically related to me. I can see the prospect of two men in bed with you excites you, so yes."
Rose threw her arms around her husband's neck.
"Thank you! You won't regret it, Comrade!"
Moving back out into their lounge room, Rose flopped onto the sofa opposite Adrian. "Yes. With conditions," she quickly specified.
"Yes?" Adrian spluttered inelegantly over his scotch. "You understand what I meant when I said the old fashioned way?" he checked.
"You want to cum inside me, and the answer is yes. However, I'd like Dimitri to be there. To be a part of it."
Adrian's brow wrinkled in confusion.
"I want us to have a threesome," Rose blurted out, red in the face for an entirely different reason now. "I'm not comfortable having sex with another man without Dimitri there. Besides, the idea of a threesome does hold some appeal."
"Hmm -- a mΓ©nage Γ trois," Adrian purred.
"Have you had one before?" Rose asked curiously. Adrian's predilections were known to be wide and varied. If there were anyone in their circle of acquaintance who would have had a threesome, it would be Adrian.
"A few," he confirmed, waggling his eyebrows suggestively at Rose. "They can be rather diverting."
"There will be rules," Dimitri stepped in, breaking the charged atmosphere. "No biting, unless Rose asks you to. And this stays between the three of us. It isn't alluded to in conversations or disclosed to anyone else under any circumstances. Finally, you need to remember the two aims of this exercise; to impregnate Rose, and to give her as much enjoyment in the process as possible. This isn't about you or me -- it's about her so what she says goes."
"If you're aiming for pregnancy, you know you'll need to stay away from her for a few days before and after? I can be the only one to blow inside her if this is to have any chance of working," Adrian cautioned, nodding in agreement to Dimitri's other terms.
"The only one to come in her pussy," Dimitri corrected. "That leaves condoms as well as a couple of other options."
"Oh little Dhampir, you surprise me," Adrian replied staring at Rose in undisguised admiration.
