Trouble Comes in Threes #4.2

Dolf followed Tal to the main bedroom. “We need to get these clothes off him and quickly. I can feel him shaking. I’m going to sit down in that chair by the bed and start undressing him. I need you to go to the bathroom and wet a washcloth for me. I’ll hold it to the wound while we finish undressing him.”Tal hurried to the master bath. Dolf sat. Moments later, he heard the water running. Tal returned, and Dolf moved Kirk around in his arms so he could hold the washcloth against the wound. Tal shifted from foot to foot, tears shining in his eyes. “He’s so pale.”“That’s from the cold and the head wound. He’ll get some of his color back once we get him warm. I’ll hold him while you try to get his clothes off.”Tal sighed as he quickly unbuttoned Kirk’s coat. He stripped Kirk’s outer clothes, dropping them to the floor.“Okay, good, Tal. Now his shirt.” Dolf shifted Kirk in his arms, making it easier for Tal to reach the human. Kirk probably had a good twenty pounds on him, but he handled the human as if he weighed no more than a feather. Thank the goddess both he and Tal were stronger than they looked. “After that, we need to get him out of his jeans. They’re really wet and cold.”The cold, damp material of Kirk’s clothes against his naked skin sparked chills that raced through his body. He couldn’t imagine how miserable Kirk had to be. He tossed the bloody washcloth on the night table. Between the two of them, they finished stripping Kirk. He couldn’t help if his fingers hesitated longer than strictly necessary as they removed certain articles of clothing. He sniffed the air, smelling the sweet scent of Tal’s desire. Seeing Kirk without clothes affected the both of them. A soft purr floated up as he and Tal laid Kirk in bed. Dolf covered Kirk with the bedspread, then stepped to the end of the bed and added a few more blankets for good measure. Tal tucked the human in, trailing his finger across Kirk’s collarbone. Tal stared down at their human, shivering. Dolf sniffed again as Tal’s need filled the bedroom. Sad blue eyes met Dolf’s. “Do you think he’s going to be okay?”“Yes. But if we don’t think he is, then we’ll get him to a hospital.” Dolf walked around the bed and gathered Tal close, briskly rubbing his hands up and down Tal’s back. As tempting as it was to let his hand drop down just a bit to those sexy curves right under his hands, he resisted. “The hospital,” Tal sighed, burrowing closer. “That would… delay things. But if he needs that, then that’s what we’ll do for him.”“True. But let’s not borrow trouble quite yet.” Dolf couldn’t resist. He teasingly slapped Tal’s ass.“Ohhh, kinky.” Tal rubbed his cock again but suddenly he sobered, the playfulness disappearing. “I just want…” Tal trailed off, resting his head on Dolf’s shoulder. Dolf sighed. “I know, catalla, what you want. So do I, but we have to take this slowly.” Tal nodded and stepped back.“Now, we both need clothes.” Dolf picked the bloodstained washcloth off the night table and threw it in the bathroom sink. That was the last thing Kirk needed to see when he woke up. He searched through Kirk’s closet and his chest of drawers. He found a couple of flannel night pants, socks, and sweatshirts. He tossed the clothes to Tal. “Get dressed, mate.” “I hope he doesn’t mind sharing.” Tal tightened the drawstring as much as he could on the night pants. Dolf dressed, quickly kissing Tal, not bothering to mention clothes were the least of their worries. He too had to tighten the drawstrings on the night pants, and the sweatshirts engulfed the both of them. His cock threatened to harden with delight at wearing his mate’s clothes. He looked up to find Tal grinning at him. “He’s a big one, isn’t he? “Yes, he very much is. Much larger than us. Very sexy.”Tal waggled his eyebrows. “I can smell your desire.” Dolf shook his head at Tal’s antics. Thank the goddess his mate was returning to his sweet, happy self. “Oh, there’s little doubt I find him sexy. I want him as much as you.” “I like having his clothes against my skin.”“As do I, but I’d like to have skin on skin too.”Tal sighed. “I can’t wait for us to all be together in bed.”“Soon, Tal, soon.” Dolf motioned to the bed where Kirk lay. “If you’ll stay with him, I’ll go to the kitchen and get a bowl with water so I can clean the wound. The bleeding has stopped, but I’d like to get it out of his hair as much as possible. Okay?”“O-okay. Just… hurry, please.” Tal glanced at the human. “What if he doesn’t wake up?" Tal raked his hands through his hair, then shoved the thick mess out of his face. “Being knocked out is not a good thing.”“He probably has a concussion, and if he does, then we’ll watch him. Take care of him. We’ll also tell him who and what we are. And what he is to us.” Dolf made a mental note to try and find something to tie Tal’s hair back.“While he’s hurt? While his brain is possibly injured? Dolf, I’m not sure that’s the best thing to do.”“The last thing we want is for him to panic. Well, no more than necessary. I’m afraid we can’t avoid some panic. The sooner he’s told, the better.”“He won’t believe us! Oh goddess, what a mess.”“Oh, he’ll believe us. It’s hard to deny the proof when it’s shifting right in front of you.” Dolf patted Tal’s shoulder. “I’ll be right back.”
