Jamie kissed his cheek, tasting the salt of his tears. "Soon," he promised. "Just a little longer."
Azelon was close too, his breathing ragged. Jamie could feel it through their bond. Almost. Almost.
He reached to cup the Tideborn's cheek, turning Azelon's face toward him so their gazes could lock, and then he leaned in to claim the Tideborn's mouth.
Azelon groaned against Jamie's lips, the last of his restraint shattering.
Corin screamed.
And then they both came apart. The wave broke around them and crashed into Jamie, sending pleasure surging down every nerve. He held them steady through it, letting them ride out the storm while he drank in every gasp, every cry, every shuddering breath.
It was perfect. They were perfect. And for one shining moment, everything felt right with the world.
Even the fact that Jamie had somehow become entangled with two magical creatures seemed entirely natural.
He closed his eyes and released a breath.
The next moment, his two lovers turned on him.
Strong arms lifted him, flipping him onto his back. He opened his eyes again to find himself staring up into Azelon's intense gaze.
"Your turn," Corin purred in his ear at the same time.
Before Jamie had time to protest, Azelon stripped him bare and pinned his hands above his head. A moment later he felt Corin shift, settling between Jamie's thighs, his tongue lapping gently over Jamie's balls before moving higher.
Jamie groaned and arched off the bed. He wasn't going to last long either. Not like this, not when Corin's hot mouth enveloped his achingly erect cock. Azelon tightened his hold on Jamie's wrists, pinning him down as he bucked up into that wet heat.
Corin hummed in satisfaction, sucking harder until Jamie thought he might explode with the sensation.
And just when he thought things couldn't possibly get any better—Azelon bent to capture his lips again. The kiss was hungry, almost possessive this time. Like the dam had broken completely and nothing could contain Azelon's need.
Jamie moaned into it, hips jerking forward. His climax hit like lightning, stealing his breath. Corin swallowed everything he offered, licking Jamie clean with slow strokes of that sinful tongue.
Only after Jamie lay boneless between them did Azelon finally ease his grip.
Jamie stared up at them both, dizzy and sated.
"Fuck," he muttered.
Corin grinned and kissed his cheek. "I think we just did." He sounded so damn proud of himself.
Azelon chuckled softly and brushed a kiss over Jamie's knuckles.
Jamie let his eyes fall shut, trying to get his heartrate back down as his lovers settled around him.
Corin curled against his chest, already half asleep. Azelon was at his back, one arm slung around his waist, tail coiled lazily over both their hips like the final thread tying them together.
The store had gone quiet, peaceful, and Jamie almost felt like he could sensecontentmentin the air.
It was nearly as vibrant an emotion as the bond that pulsed gently beneath Jamie's skin, a slow, steady echo ofthem.
Ofbelonging.
“Still with me?” Azelon murmured against his neck.
Jamie didn’t answer with words. He just tightened his arm around Corin, reached back to squeeze Azelon’s hand.
For the first time since arriving in this strange new world, he didn’t feel like a visitor.
