One more installment after this one.
~*~
The sun was going to rise soon. The sky had already taken on the familiar pinks and red mixed with a soft gold. It would be five minutes before the sun was peaking over the mountains and shining onto the earth. It was all the time Itachi needed as his brother shifted into a human again, his own body would change soon enough, as soon as the first golden rays hit his pale skin he would be a wolf again. The pain was second nature now with the changing of his body to that of an animal. At first Itachi had been sure the pain would kill him, the shifting and cracking of bone was a horrendous cacophony in his ears.
As the years rolled by, Itachi had grown used to his fate, the sound no longer sent chills down his spine. It was a lonely existence, the one he and his brother led, they couldn’t have a normal relationship with anyone, including themselves. The few minutes they had when they were both human were spent in each other’s arms, Sasuke holding Itachi tightly. They drew comfort from one another in those moments, knowing that they still had each even after all these years.
The new introduction into both their lives was a blessing in disguise. Itachi had never met a normal human who was so addicting and could switch roles so easily. It was endearing and Naruto was exactly what he and Sasuke needed in their lives. The young man was slowly bringing each brother out of their shell and stirring emotions in them that hadn’t been stirred in a long time. He was like a breath of fresh air in their abysmal world of pain.
Sasuke was quick to take Itachi into his arms, placing a gentle kiss on his brother’s lips in greeting. The older brother melted into Sasuke’s arms, taking much needed strength from them as they stood in the glow of the sunrise. There was silence for several moments, both men needing to gather their thoughts. It was rare when they took an interest in the same person, at least romantically. Their friends had been shared easily enough, but when it came to lovers, their choices were always different.
The brothers knew they couldn’t be physical with one another, there was never time with the five minutes they had as the sun rose and set. So they they allowed sexual encounters with other people as long as the other gave permission. There was never a secret between the two brothers in their long history of being lovers, even before the curse was laid upon them. In fact, it was their love for one another that landed them in their current predicament.
A young witch had found herself enchanted by Sasuke and had stalked him periodically. Sasuke had tried to drive it home that there was nothing between them and he would never look in her direction. But the young woman wouldn’t hear of it, claiming that they were destined for each each other. After many rejections, Sasuke had thought she had given up. He hadn’t seen her in at least a week and so thought it safe to give his affections to Itachi once again. They were in a barn, Sasuke towering over Itachi and stealing his lips in a kiss when she had popped up and saw everything. Jealousy had clouded her mind when she cast the curse, Itachi immediately turning into a wolf. Sasuke had tried to find her after that, but he couldn’t find her, it was almost as if she had disappeared.
The addition of Naruto would be welcomed highly, Itachi knew that deep in his soul. He was so different from their other lovers and knew that they would do anything to keep him. He was a gem they had found and one they wouldn’t ever let go. When Sasuke pulled away they sat down on the beach, the older brother sitting against Sasuke’s chest with the other’s long legs surrounding him as he leaned back into a strong chest. A dark head was placed on his shoulder as they watched the sunrise.
“I want him, Itachi, so bad. These past few weeks I’ve spent with him, I’ve fallen in love with him,” Sasuke said softly, his arms tightening around Itachi’s middle as he rested his head on a shoulder. “I want to tell him everything. It’s tearing him apart, trying to decide between the two of us. I’m sure he wouldn’t be adverse to be with both of us.”
“As have I, he’s perfect for us. And I’m sure you’re right, he’d jump at the opportunity at having not to choose.” Itachi snorted, turning his head and placing a quick kiss to Sasuke’s cheek when the other’s face dipped down to his shoulder. “We will tell him, tonight at sunset. He deserves to know the truth.”
“Tonight then, I’ll meet you here. Stay safe during the day, brother.” Sasuke turned his brother’s head and dove in for a possessive kiss, his tongue tracing the seams of Itachi’s lips before they allowed him access and he could plunder the sweet mouth under him. When they pulled away, the last ‘I love you’ was uttered before Itachi moved from Sasuke’s and began his shift into a pure black wolf.
Sasuke watched with sad dark eyes as his brother trotted off the beach, the golden rays of the sun highlighting the black fur as he stalked off into the day. He never knew where Itachi went, only that the wolf hung around the beach at odd times of the day without being seen. Sighing and looking up to the sky, Sasuke decided to head to their home and get some sleep before meeting up with Naruto. He had to prepare for the sunset tonight and it wouldn’t be an easy task. Their curse was a delicate subject and in order to bring it up to Naruto, Sasuke would have to do it in a way that the blond understand exactly what was going on. Itachi was the more eloquent of the two brothers, but a wolf very well couldn’t write down what needed to be said. And so with a heavy heart, Sasuke entered his home and hit the bed, getting some much needed rest.
~*~
The sun was filtering in through the windows, creating light as Naruto tried to busy himself so he wouldn’t be left alone with his thoughts. In the past three weeks he had become attached to two different men. His attraction to both was dangerous and he feared that when he was caught, he would lose both. That wasn’t something Naruto wanted to think about at the moment, he wanted to continue his relationship with both men. He knew it was selfish of him, but no one had ever made him felt like this before.
It was a decision he didn’t want to make and he felt as though it would have to be made soon. Naruto didn’t want to choose between Itachi and Sasuke, he wouldn’t be able to take the regret that would come from picking one man over the other. There would be always be the doubt if he picked the wrong man to spend the rest of his life with. It wasn’t a feeling he wanted to live with the rest of his life, and it wouldn’t be fair to his lover either. Naruto wasn’t sure if either one of them would be interested in a threesome, it was a subject he knew society wanted to keep brushed under the rug. It wasn’t normal, but Naruto couldn’t help but feel that it would be the answer. But as the thoughts jumbled in his head, they caused a headache.
And so he began cleaning as soon as he had woken up that morning, trying to distract his thoughts as he gave his apartment a thorough cleaning, though it didn’t need it. Naruto was neat despite what his friends thought about him. Naruto may have grown up an orphan, but he couldn’t take any sort of mess. The other children he had lived with in the orphanage always made messes, some were worse than others. It was there he learned that he was OCD about how clean a home should be.
Today it did nothing to soothe his troubled mind, not like it normally did. Naruto couldn’t find the solace he so desperately needed, nor the answers that he wanted. Frustrated, he stopped what he was doing and flopped down on his couch. He was boneless as he stared up at his ceiling, thinking about how he could come out of this with his heart intact. He knew however this ended, his heart would hurt. Naruto hoped it wouldn’t break in the aftermath of what could happen.
It was already mid-afternoon and Naruto hadn’t ate anything all day. His stomach had been protesting for the past half-hour, but he couldn’t bring himself to make anything. He wasn’t sure if he could stomach food right now and Naruto didn’t want to throw it up. It would be a waste and that was unacceptable. Sighing, he closed his eyes just as the doorbell rang. Irritated at having been interrupted during his ‘me time’, Naruto stalked to the door and wrenched it open without even looking at who was at his door.
“What?” He growled, eyes glowing furiously as he glared up at Sasuke. He hadn’t expected the man to be on the other side, in fact, he was surprised to see him there. Normally, Sasuke never showed up unless he called first to make it was okay and that Naruto didn’t have plans.
The other man was unfazed and pulled Naruto into his arms, covering the other’s lips with his own as he backed the man into his apartment, closing the door behind him with his foot. Sasuke guided to the couch, devouring the man as if he were the last person on the planet. The scent of Naruto invaded his nose and he breathed it in heavily. He loved it and was addicted to it already, Sasuke wouldn’t trade these moments for anything in the world.
Naruto’s body was gently laid on the couch, Sasuke covering him as his lips moved from the delectable mouth the smooth tan neck. Sharp teeth nipped at the flesh, pulling it and worrying it between his teeth. Sasuke’s hands weren’t idle as they pushed Naruto’s shirt up so his fingers had access to the other’s nipples, flicking them and rolling them between his fingers. The sounds that left Naruto’s lips were delicious and they were only for Sasuke’s ear, a fact the man enjoyed.
A low moan left Naruto’s lips, drawn out as the warm mouth moved to a nipple and bit it. The smaller body arched, Naruto pushing his nipple further into Sasuke’s mouth. His hands moved to Sasuke’s dark head, fingers tangling in the dark mass and holding it over his chest.
Grounding his hips down into Naruto’s, Sasuke found an answering hardness. He wanted Naruto in this moment, to rip the clothes from his body and take him for his own. But even though he had talked to Itachi, Sasuke found himself wanting Naruto. Undoing Naruto’s pants, Sasuke ripped them down his legs so that the proud erection sprang free. While he couldn’t penetrate Naruto as of this moment, Sasuke could bring his lover pleasure.
Placing tender kisses down Naruto’s torso, Sasuke made a trail to the cock that was laying against a toned stomach. Dark eyes darted up and drank in the blush that dusted tanned cheeks, Naruto was beautiful like this, just like Itachi. He couldn’t wait to see the two of them spread under him as they pleasured one another.
Soft lips pressed against his heated length, making the organ twitch with interest as Naruto moaned his name. Sasuke felt his own cock twitch in his pants, but he ignored it. This was about Naruto and not him, he would bring the other man incredible pleasure so that he could solidify their bond and be able to keep him.
He worked the cock in his mouth, eyes never leaving Naruto’s face as he drank in every expression. Sasuke would possess this man one day- soon. He knew they had Naruto in their grasps, that the man couldn’t choose between them. Sasuke had not failed to catch onto Naruto’s mood the last few days and he knew the cause of it. Tonight would change everything, Naruto would be privy to their secrets and he would be loved. Their change every sunrise and sunset wouldn’t be a problem, Naruto would have a lover with him day and night.
It wasn’t long before he had Naruto’s seed flowing down his throat, Sasuke swallowing every drop. Grinning and licking his lips, he slid up the lithe body and reversed their positions so that Naruto was laying on his chest. Long tapered fingers shifted through blond hair as Naruto tried to gather his wits again.
“Sasuke, what are you doing here? Not that I don’t mind, but you never called,” Naruto said softly, his head tucked under the other’s chin. His hand curled up on the cloth covered chest as he sighed contently.
“I’m here to see you, moron,” Sasuke snorted, the air from his nose ruffling Naruto’s blond spikes. “Should I leave?”
“No, I’m not complaining, it’s just...you never come to see me out of the blue.”
“Maybe I wanted to be spontaneous today. I have a full day planned for us today and a surprise at sunset,” Sasuke answered, chuckling when Naruto propped himself up on his chest and gazed down at him with curious blue eyes.
~*~
They lazily walked across the beach, barefoot as the water rushed up to greet their feet. It was an unusually warm day and Sasuke and Naruto had taken full advantage of it. There wasn’t anyone out on the beach, which was odd in itself. But as it was late in the evening, the air started to cool down and so people wouldn’t be inclined to stay out in the cold.
Sasuke’s hand was warm, Naruto noticed, even though the temperature was dropping slightly. But the change didn’t affect him any, his body always ran on a higher temp than most people and so Naruto could handle the cold better than most. It was peaceful, the walk was silent as the two men just strolled at their leisure.
Naruto found himself falling deeper for Sasuke, the man had ceased to amaze him all day. Sasuke was everything Naruto could ever want in a partner, but there was someone else he was craving as well. Itachi never left his mind all day, always lingering in the back and sometimes, Sasuke reminded him of the other man with some of his mannerisms. But Naruto doubted they knew one another, in fact it was weird that he only met Sasuke by day and Itachi by night. The thought had never passed his mind before, but he did find it strange in some aspects.
Sasuke pulled Naruto into his body and pressed a kiss to the blond temple, knowing that Itachi was watching him. This was the moment both brothers were waiting for, having Naruto to themselves in one spot so they could explain everything in the short five minutes they would have at sunset.
Sometimes someone to had to see things with their own eyes in order to believe it. Sasuke knew very well Naruto was one of those people and that if he didn’t watch their transformations, he would never believe them.
Itachi was waiting under the docks, Sasuke couldn’t miss the golden eyes that glowed in the beginnings of shadows under the docks. It was moments like this he wished they could communicate telepathically and map out their plan more carefully. But this would do for now, once Naruto got over his shock Itachi would be there to answer any questions.
“I have something to tell you, Naruto, let’s head to the docks,” Sasuke suggested, his voice barely being carried by the wind. He gently led Naruto to where Itachi was hiding, hoping that the blond wouldn’t freak out once he saw the wolf.
“You’re not gonna propose are you?” Naruto asked, though he wasn’t serious as he bumped slightly into the other’s shoulder.
“Of course not, I’m not a woman,” Sasuke snorted, wrapping an arm around Naruto’s shoulders as they walked under the docks. Itachi was waiting somewhere in the shadows, and Sasuke wasn’t disappointed when the large wolf cantered out into full view. He felt Naruto tense under his arms and try to bolt.
“It’s fine, Naruto, he’s not going to hurt you, just watch,” Sasuke reassured the other man, nuzzling the blond hair when Naruto buried his face into his neck, curious blue eyes watching the wolf as the sun began to set.
Blue eyes widened as the wolf began to shift, his fur receding to reveal pale skin. But that wasn’t what shocked Naruto the most, when the muzzle began to shorten and flattened, he was looking at a naked Itachi. He couldn’t begin to wrap his mind about what was happening as Sasuke moved from him to greet Itachi, kissing the other man gently as though he were an old lover.
“What?” Naruto gasped as the two men set their sights on him, their eyes predatory as he was pulled was back into Sasuke’s chest and Itachi placed his head under Naruto’s chin. Long elegant arms wrapped around Naruto’s trim waist. Naruto was still in shock as he tried to grasp exactly what was going on.
“We were cursed several years ago,” Itachi said softly, pressing his naked body against Naruto’s and getting comfortable while Sasuke nuzzled his temple. “We craved each other like no blood family should and we were found out. The woman was jealous and placed a curse on us. In just a few minutes, Sasuke will shift as well. These small moments at sunrise and sunset are all we have.”
“Cursed? Like magic?” Naruto asked dumbly, blinking his eyes as his own arms wrapped around Itachi. He was willing to believe it since he had seen Itachi changing with his own eyes. Naruto was trying to wrap his head around the fact that he wouldn’t have to choose between them now. Joy sang in his heart as he kissed the top of Itachi’s head, showing his acceptance of both men.
“Yes, magic. I don’t know if the spell will ever be broken, but we both love you, Naruto,” Sasuke rumbled, his hand tightening around the other’s waist. “We’ve never felt this kind of pull with anyone else before. We want you in our lives, will you be with us?”
“I love you too, both of you. I want this work,” Naruto answered, closing his eyes as Sasuke’s nipped his neck and Itachi kissed his chin.
Soon the sounds of Sasuke’s bones cracking and shifting filled the darkness under the docks as the sun rested for the night. Naruto blinked in surprise when a small, black bat hovered around his head, playfully grabbing at his hair. Naruto chuckled, knowing it was Sasuke since the other had a penchant for playing with his hair when they cuddled. Itachi and Naruto decided to walk the beach after Itachi had dressed, hands entwined as the glow of the half moon beat down on them. Sasuke was trailing behind them, flapping his wings before deciding to rest on Naruto’s shoulder, content to just sit there.
~*~
It was another sunrise, this time Naruto wasn’t in shock like he was with the previous sunset as Sasuke changed back into his human form under the docks once again. It was the only place that offered any sort of privacy and there were always clothes stashed away in a hidden part so he wouldn’t have to walk around naked. Naruto and Itachi were curled up against a pillar, a blanket shared between them since they didn’t want to freeze to death. It was still early spring and they weren’t out of winter just yet.
Smirking after he clothed himself, Sasuke crouched down and roused the two men from their sleep. The goofy grin on Naruto’s face was endearing as Sasuke leaned down and stole a kiss before Itachi woke as well and greeted his brother the same way. Naruto then placed his own kiss on Itachi’s lips before Sasuke joined under the blanket, all three basking in this scant moment they had together before Itachi shifted again.
Naruto wasn’t sure how they would work this out, it was obvious all three of them cared for one another, but they only had these moments of sunrise and sunset together. They were lazy until the last minute, holding each other and not wanting it to end. But there was nothing that could be once the first rays of the sun hit Itachi’s body and he began to shift. Unfortunately, he couldn’t run around with Sasuke and Naruto, it had been hard to pass him off as a dog as they made their way onto the beach, early morning joggers already running along the sands.
They ignored the curious glances as Itachi cantered along the beach, Naruto and Sasuke right behind him, making it obvious they were his owners. It didn’t feel right to Naruto, but there was nothing that could be done since technically Itachi was an animal. He made a few mental notes to purchase a collar and leash for him so they could keep this charade up for however long they needed to. No one had said a word as they turned off the beach and made it to the boardwalk, the early chill seeping into Sasuke and Naruto’s bones. Itachi had the benefit of having fur so it didn’t bother him all that much.
The short trip back to Naruto’s apartment was silent, Sasuke’s hand holding Naruto’s as they walked at their own leisure. Once inside the apartment, all three made their way to the bedroom where Naruto had a king sized bed calling their names. Last night not one of the three men had gotten sleep, taking cat naps here and there during the night.
Clothes were shed before Sasuke and Naruto crawled onto the bed, Itachi joining once Naruto okayed it. The wolf jumped gracefully onto the bed and settled in as Sasuke drew Naruto into his arms and a blond head rested on his chest. They were all comfortable, all three were in the same room even though one of them wasn’t human. Exhausted from the previous night, they fell asleep.
A few short hours later, Naruto woke to the ringing of his phone, groggily moving his head from Sasuke’s shoulder he checked the number. It was toll free so he ignored it and placed his head back where it was. But it was too late, he was already awake and he couldn’t go back to sleep. Checking on Sasuke, he saw the other was still asleep and quietly moved out of the bed, making sure he didn’t disturb Itachi as well.
Once he was in the shower, Naruto went about his daily routine, brushing his teeth, shaving and then finally turning the shower on and stepping under the scalding hot spray. His body relaxed, the tension he didn’t know he had seeping out as the hot water massaged his skin, a small moan left his lips as he began to wash his hair. He loved taking hot showers since they cleared his head and made him relax, especially after a hard day at work or after a particular nasty fight with his friends. It wasn’t that they didn’t get along, but sometimes they were all so headstrong that they got on each other’s nerves and started full out fights.
Naruto’s head jerked to the shower curtain when it was pulled aside and Sasuke stepped in, naked as he was earlier that morning. A blush creeped over Naruto’s face when he was pulled into strong arms and kissed breathlessly, melting into the larger body. Sasuke worked his mouth open a devious tongue slipped in, exploring the cavern as a hand slid down to knead Naruto’s ass.
Naruto gasped when he was pulled against Sasuke’s body, his awakening erection brushing against the other man’s. Fire coursed through his veins, heading straight to his cock as a finger teased against his hole, it never dipped in, just teased the sensitive muscle. Blue eyes closed as Sasuke ravaged him, pushing Naruto against a wall of the shower as he devoured the sweet lips hungrily.
“I’ll never get enough of you,” Sasuke whispered huskily, his lips brushing against Naruto as lidded dark eyes stared down at him. “I’m addicted to you.”
Naruto was hyper aware of Sasuke’s body against his, how warm his skin was sliding against his. There was an electricity around them as they kissed and touched, Sasuke taking his time to explore Naruto’s body. The smaller body arched into every touch that left fire on his skin, every caress drug a moan from Naruto’s lips. Tanned hands slipped up to tangle themselves into dark hair, pulling Sasuke down for a deeper kiss. It was almost like Sasuke was the air in which Naruto breathed, he just couldn’t get enough to fill his lungs.
Naruto gasped when he was pulled up, his legs immediately wrapping around Sasuke's waist as strong arms supported him. He opened his eyes to find that Sasuke had found the tube of lube he kept in the shower, Naruto wasn’t embarrassed by it and so he helped his lover open the cap and poured a generous amount on elegant fingers. He placed the tube back into the rack it was kept on, easily within reach in case Sasuke would need more.
A finger was slipped in. It was awkward at first since it had been so long since Naruto had had a lover, but as Sasuke stretched him, taking care with him and asking if adding another finger was okay, Naruto found himself relaxing. Those sinful fingers played with him, teasing his ass as Naruto begged for more. He had never felt this way before, his skin on fire as desire ran heatedly through his veins. His hands clawed at Sasuke’s pale skin, nails digging in once the other man had found his prostate, teasing it as he smirked at Naruto’s begging.
“Sasuke, please,” Naruto whined low in his throat, eyes lidded as he stared up into the endless dark eyes. “I need you.”
Sasuke wasn’t one to deny a lover, so he ordered Naruto grab the lube that was nearby and coat his cock. He wasn’t about to go in dry, even if the water provided some lubrication. He refused to hurt this man who was so accepting of him and Itachi. After Naruto had coated him, Sasuke let Naruto down and turned him against the wall of the shower. He lined his erection up but didn’t push just yet.
“Tell me to stop now and I will,” Sasuke breathed heavily into Naruto’s ear, knowing the man wouldn’t deny him this.
“Fuck me,” was Naruto’s breathy response before Sasuke pushed himself in all the way to the hilt, making Naruto gasp at the intrusion. They stood still for a few moments, Sasuke allowed Naruto to become acquainted with the cock that was stretching him. Sasuke wasn’t small by any means and knew that his lovers would need time. Of course, since meeting Naruto, he hadn’t taken on another lover.
“Move,” was the whispered command that fell from Naruto’s lips. He pushed his hips back, making Sasuke go deeper in him to get the point across to his new lover. Naruto had been an impatient man and this time was no exception. The first snap of Sasuke’s hips had Naruto shouting his lover’s name as the thick cock pressed against his prostate.
Pressed against the wall, Naruto tried to find something to grasp onto, but he couldn’t find purchase. His hands slipped against the wall, the water cascading down in rivulets. He fought to keep his eyes open as Sasuke pounded into him, upsetting his balance as he fought to not slide on the floor. The water only did so much to cover Naruto’s screams, the sound drowning out the shower.
Sasuke’s mouth attacked the back of the long, tan neck. Sharp teeth grazed the sensitive skin and the other man smirked when a shiver ran through Naruto’s body. His hands moved up to the other’s chest, fingers moving over the pert nipples and playing with them. Sasuke rolled them between his finger, plucking them from Naruto’s body. The action ripped another scream from Naruto’s mouth, the sound filling the shower stall.
“Please, Sasuke,” Naruto begged when a hand drifted down and gripped his cock, lazily pumping it. The cock was heavy in Sasuke’s hand, the skin smooth and textured like velvet. It felt wonderful in his hand, so he kept it there, lazily stroking Naruto’s cock.
“Please what, Naruto?” He asked, purring into the ear near his mouth, knowing full well Naruto was close to the edge. It excited him that he had Naruto like this, trembling under his body, knowing that it was Sasuke doing this to Naruto and not another man. “What do you need?”
“To come,” Naruto whined, throwing his head back when Sasuke’s thumb flitted over his slit. His whole body shuddered with pleasure as his cock was stroked, tip to base, the rhythm switching every other stroke. There was no pattern and Sasuke kept switching it up to keep Naruto guessing. He enjoyed this time with Naruto and knew it was time to end it, the body under him was so tightly taunt that Sasuke felt Naruto would snap.
“Then come,” Sasuke commanded, his voice husky with lust as Naruto painted the wall and the water washed his seed away. Sasuke wasn’t too far behind, as he thrusted a few more times before filling Naruto with his own release.
Both men slid to the bottom of the tub, the hot water giving way to a cooler temperature. Sasuke held Naruto tightly in his arms, breathing in the scent of his lover. It was so right holding Naruto like this, as though he were made for him. Finally, when the water turned colder, Sasuke moved his lover around so that he could turn it off. He stood to his feet and dried himself off before removing Naruto from the tub and taking care of him.
The blond cuddled into his arms as he walked to the other room. Itachi’s head perked up from the bed and watched his brother as he gently set Naruto on the bed, smirking when Itachi nuzzled Naruto with his cold nose.
“Itachi! I was warm!” Naruto whined, rolling over onto his side and pouting at the giant wolf in his bed. But his expression gave away the fact that he didn’t really mind. The bed dipped behind Naruto and Sasuke’s body curled up around his back, linking their fingers together as Naruto snuggled back into him.
“I love you both,” Sasuke said clearly, squeezing Naruto’s fingers gently. The warmth of Naruto’s skin melded into his skin, seeping the cold out out of his body. He pressed his lips to back of the wild, wet blond hair.
“Heh, I love you both too,” Naruto responded before Itachi barked his own declaration before they settled down into sleep, Itachi keeping watch over them as they slept.
