“I want in your mouth. Do you think you can handle that?” Dane’s voice was strained as he stilled my hand.
I nodded, breathless with anticipation.
Dash reluctantly withdrew, and they rearranged us. In a flash, I was on my hands and knees, Dash behind me and Dane kneeling in front of me, his cock level with my mouth.
“Is this okay?” Dane brushed my hair back from my face, his expression serious despite his obvious arousal.
In response, I leaned forward and took him into my mouth, relishing his strangled groan. Dash positioned himself behind me, pushing back inside with a smooth thrust, and I moaned around Dane.
It was overwhelming in the best possible way. Dash gripped my hips as he took me from behind, and Dane’s fingers tangled gently in my hair as I took him as deeply as I could in my mouth. I was caught in a perfect storm of sensations.
Dash reached around to circle my clit with his fingers, and I nearly came undone. I doubled my efforts on Dane, using every trick I could think of to drive him as wild as I felt.
“Neve…” Dash’s voice was laced with restraint. “I’m close.”
I hummed my encouragement around Dane, which made him curse colorfully. Dash’s thrusts grew erratic, his fingers pressing harder against my clit. When he groaned my name and stiffened behind me, it triggered my release, pleasure washing through me as he pulsed inside me.
Dash carefully withdrew, pressing a kiss to my shoulder blade before moving aside. Dane guided me onto my back, positioning himself between my thighs.
The second he was all the way in, I knew I was done for. Dane moved with purpose, hitting spots inside me that had my toes curling. I wrapped my legs around his waist, urging him deeper.
“You’re perfect,” he groaned, his pace increasing. “So fucking perfect.”
I was floating, heading toward something bigger than before. When it hit, it was like being struck by lightning with every nerve ending firing at once, my body arching off the bed as I cried out. He followed me over the edge seconds later, his face buried in my neck as he shuddered through his release.
After a moment, Dane rolled to the side, and Dash returnedwith a warm washcloth, cleaning me with surprising tenderness before climbing into bed.
They arranged themselves on either side of me, Dane’s arm draped across my waist while Dash’s hand found mine, our fingers intertwining.
“Are you okay?” Dash’s voice was a low rumble against my ear.
I nodded, too exhausted and content for words. I should have felt strange or at least conflicted about what had just happened. But all I felt was an overwhelming sense of rightness, like I’d found something I hadn’t even known I was missing.
Dane nuzzled my hair. “Sweet dreams.”
Whatever magic connected us, I was done fighting it, at least for tonight.
Chapter 17
Heiress to a Global Breaking-and-Entering Operation
Iwas flying.
Not the claustrophobic terror of being trapped in a metal tube, but real flying—hair whipping back, adrenaline pumping, heart soaring kind of flying. A sleigh cut through the starlit sky, my small hand gripping the red side.
“Hold tight, Snowflake!”
My father’s laugh boomed across the night, vibrating through the sleigh, through my chest, and all the way to my toes. His silver beard glinted with frost, and his cheeks were flushed.
The reindeer surged forward, powerful muscles rippling beneath thick fur. I felt the magic crackling between them like electric currents, saw the shimmer trailing behind us as we climbed higher than any plane could fly. Higher than logic or reason permitted.
“Look down, Neve! The entire world is waiting!”
I leaned over, clutching his arm, and there it was: a planet wrapped in darkness speckled with glittering lights, each one a home, each one waiting.
For us.
For him.
