Day Three: Clothed Sex

 

Astarion hated the Shadowlands, he desperately missed the sun’s embrace on his skin and there was barely anything safe to feed on except the cultists the merry little band of his was killing.

It was an awful day, they had just fought for their lives trying to protect Halsin as he rescued Thaniel and rejoined him with Oliver. The entire group was battered more than what a few healing spells could fix.

Astarion groaned as he clutched his chest, a deep gash seeping under his armour but he tried to keep a brave face knowing his vampiric healing should heal him but with his lack of blood recently he wasn’t too sure.

As they arrived back at Last Light Inn Shadowheart and Halsin began to heal what injuries they could on their companions, Halsin had just healed a few nasty cuts on Gale and Astarion noticed he was walking over to him… shit.

The wizard sat next to Astarion and immediately began to look at him trying to note any injuries the vampire may be hiding, Gale my have many flaws but unfortunately his perceptiveness was as keen as ever,

“You’re hurt” Gale spoke gently reaching for Astarion who flinched away,

“I’m fine, nothing my own vampire talents can’t heal” Astarion’s voice lacked its usual sass and Gale sighed reaching slower this time to gently place a hand on Astarion’s arm,

“Healing powers only work if you’ve been feeding, when was the last time you fed?” Gale asked eyeing Astarion with both care and concern, Astarion wanted to lie but Gale was unfortunately quite smart,

“I’ve been getting by on the cultists blood, probably nearly a tenday now…” Astarion sighs, just saying it out loud reminds him of the gnawing hunger that claws at him and Gale looks at him sadly before calling Halsin over, Astarion immediately tenses and glares at Gale,

“What are you doing?” He seethes as Halsin walks over smiling at the men but looking exhausted from both the battle and using his magic to heal everyone,

“Seems our resident vampire needs blood to heal and unfortunately my blood isn’t pleasant” Gale says calmly to nods in understand before sitting comfortably in front of Astarion and holding his wrist out, Astarion stares at the offer wide eyed,

“Please little Star, feed” Halsin says gently pushing his wrist a little more forward and Astarion grabs it, hesitating for a mere second before latching his fangs into the tan skin, moaning quietly as the Druid’s fresh blood fills his mouth. He gulps the rich blood which has an earthy taste down greedily and feels Gale begin to cart his fingers through his hair.

Astarion takes a few more gulps feeling his wound begin to stitch up before pulling away with a quiet moan and licking the bite mark to close the wound before looking at Halsin,

“Thank you…” He whispers quietly and turns to nod at Gale in thanks too,

“You don’t need to suffer alone Astarion, we are more than happy to provide” Halsin says gently placing a gentle hand on Astarion’s shoulder. Astarion meets Halsin’s eyes and lowers his face,

“There is… one thing…” Astarion says quietly to both men before getting up and leading them both by their hands to his tent. Once inside Astarion settles down and looks between the two men,

“I… I want to take my body back but… I don’t think I’m ready for sex again…” Astarion says, unable to meet the two men's gazes. Halsin looks to Gale who gives him a small nod before Gale is leaning forward and lifting Astarion’s chin,

“Of course Star” Gale says gently leaning forward to place his lips to Astarion, Astarion lets out a quiet moan as he tangles his hands in Gale’s hair and kisses him back. Halsin moves to behind Astarion and rubs his arms comfortingly while also sandwiching him between the two men.

Astarion enjoys the feeling of both men pressed against him, Gale’s kisses have taken up his mind already and Halsin’s touches are light but meaningful and Astarion shuffles so he’s in Gale’s lap and his ass is pressed against Halsin’s erection. Astarion hears Gale’s breath hitch at the new position and he pulls away to breathe.

“Is this okay Astarion?” Gale asks as he moves his hands to Astarion’s hips while Halsin’s begin to caress his chest making him shudder,

“Yes Gale… both of you… this is perfect” Astarion moans quietly as the men fall into a steady rhythm. Astarion and Gale’s clothed members rub against one another as they grind their hips together, Gale’s hands on his hips help keep him grounded as he leans into the wizard.

Halsin is also rocking his hips into Astarion’s arse, Halsin lets out breathy growls as he begins to tease Astarion’s nipples over his shirt as he starts to kiss his neck. The stimulation is overwhelming and Astarion lets himself feel for the first time in two centuries as he drinks up the two men who are lavishing over him.

Astarion begins to rock his hips faster causing both men to grunt at the new rhythm and they quickly catch up with Astarion holding him tighter as they all grind together, the friction of their clothes adding another layer of pleasure.

Halsin moves his hands from Astarion nipples making him whine but they quickly overlap Gale’s on his hips and he finds himself being equally manhandled by the two men and he enjoys it, more moans begin to escape Astarion as Halsin leans in close and begins to whisper to Astarion,

“You’re so beautiful” Gale hums in agreement and Astarion whines at the praise his hips stuttering as he’s overcome with his orgasm. He pants as both men slow their grinding down before Halsin gently lays Astarion down on the bedroll, Astarion looks at them both in his orgasmic bliss noticing their erections,

“Do you want…” Astarion trails off when Gale silences him with a kiss,

“How about we head to the river and get cleaned up” Gale smiles offering a hand to Astarion and Astarion smiles gratefully, truthfully he didn’t want to do anymore than that so he takes the hand offered and the three men make their way to the stream.

Once there Halsin Wildshapes into his bear form and settles down on the grass next to the bank not bothering to get in the water, Gale uses his magic to heat the water as he and Astarion strip down and submerge themselves in the water.

Astarion hums in approval as he leans his head back resting it on the Druid’s now furry body as Gale gently washes any sweat or stickiness away from him. As they all lay there in the dark the moon illuminates the water and for the first time in his life Astarion truly feels loved and cared for,

“Thank you both, truly” Astarion hums as he leans his head on Gale’s shoulder and allows himself to drop his guard as he closes his eyes, Gale smiles resting his head on Astarion’s and giving his scalp a kiss and Halsin nuzzles his nose into Astarion’s neck.

Astarion has never had many luxuries in his life but with these two men he has hope that one day he will truly be free.

Notes:

I originally planned for this to just be Astarion/Gale but then Halsin somehow joined this merry band. I should be doing my uni work but here we are
