Trinity~A Raven and Snakes story

Giving into temptation

Ominis POV

He wasn't exactly sure why Iris was crying, but they were so in tune he would not be surprised if it had something at least a little bit to do with what was tormenting him. Maybe he had been saying Sebastian's name in his sleep again, maybe Sebastian had made a move on her. He couldn't blame him really, she was stunning. He didn't have a solution, and he hated seeing her in pain. She was usually the one with the plan, so he would just hold his breath and wait for her to figure out what to do. The one thing he couldn't stomach was loosing her though. He would fight for that until someone put him out of his misery.

He pulled her in for an embrace, and kissed her forehead. He asked her to tell him what's wrong. Then she did.....She told him every moment, every exchange, every moment where she felt her and Sebastian had a connection. She told him of the intense love she had for Sebastian in school. He understood of course, and he was thankful she had held back to let him be happy then. He could tell she felt so guilty and he didn't want her too. She told him what Sebastian had said in his flat. He really only had one question before he was going to confess his own carnal fantasies.

"Iris, thank you for telling me. Please take some deep breaths and calm down. Do you still love me? Do you still want to spend your life with me, like you told Sebastian?"

"Ominis, you didn't see me when you were gone.....I was a shell of myself. I was cruel. I tortured, I maimed, I even killed. I am nothing without you. That's why I don't understand my feelings, because I love you so very much".

Ominis took that in and took a deep breath. "What if you could have us both? I won't commit to anything relationship wise with him again, my heart is yours. However, I have been having dreams I need to tell you about".

Then he told her, in graphic detail, so she knew everything he had been thinking, and everything, something like this would entail. She was so adorable, she was pretending to not be aroused, but he could feel her wiggling in her seat. He knew if he reached down and felt her core, she would be wet. At least it didn't scare her off.

"Ominis, now that we are admitting everything....I used to get very turned on when you two would kiss in front of me...I even touched myself thinking about you two....doing all kinds of stuff to each other".

He raised his eyebrows, this was certainly news to him! He was pleased, she was such a little minx...

"So how does this work, Ominis?" She was so timid and out of her depth. He was as well, this was Sebastian's area of expertise.

"For me, Iris, this would just be sex with him. I am willing to share to make you and me happy. However, it's you and me in this relationship as far as I am concerned. You and I are still getting married. What do you think?".

She thought on it. "I'm going to end up loving him completely, but I truly don't see him as a relationship person anymore. Maybe this arrangement is what would be best for him too. Can you please keep an open mind if anything were to progress?".

He thought about it, he had sworn long ago that he would never let Sebastian Sallow into his heart again. He had also sworn he would do whatever she wanted, he wanted her happy. "As long as your home is with me, and you are my wife and partner, I am open to you feeling whatever you feel".

He heard Iris sigh, it wasn't quite the answer she wanted, but he knew the black hole that was heartbreak with Sallow. He wouldn't be falling for that anytime soon.

"Well, let's see if Sebastian is willing? Let's be real though; he won't be able to refuse you, beautiful girl".

She blushed and answered, "you severely underestimate how damn gorgeous you are, he rarely takes his eyes off you".
