“Yes.” Layla spoke, feeling a very natural blush spill out over her chest and shoulders as her face suddenly became hot, though the day was cooling now as the sun set. “It scares me to think about being in the middle of all that. But I enjoy watching them appreciate each other.”
“Hot man-on-man action arouses you.” Adrian chuckled at her neck now, kissing her and biting her subtly. “I can feel your heat, Layla, even though your Dragon’s not in it. Even your human side likes seeing all your men together.”
“So what?” She spoke breathlessly now, as Adrian turned her fear about being in the middle of a cock-fest into something altogether more decadent and scandalous by remaining distant and watching. “You’re all damn sexy. And seeing some of you guys get it on… just flat does it for me, I guess. But I worry about all of you being celibate for my sake.”
“Reginald and Rhennic haven’t been celibate.” Adrian spoke deviantly at Layla’s neck as he kissed her again, winding her closer in his arms.
“But you have, and Dusk.” Layla argued, twisting in Adrian’s arms so they came nose to nose. “And I think maybe Dusk is going a little crazy from it.”
“He’ll adjust.” Adrian spoke with pointed nod at the tubs now. Rhennic had finished rubbing Reginald’s feet and was now working on Dusk’s shoulders, and the sight of both her fittest men enjoying each other nearly made Layla fall over from desire. Leaning back on the rim of the pool with one arm extended, Reginald sipped his wine with a deviantly decadent look as he watched Rhennic and Dusk like a king of the boudoir. Even Fury had paused his hydrotherapy and lingered by the waterfall, watching Dusk and Rhennic with eagerness in his dark blue eyes. Now it was definitely like the ramp-up of a porno, and Layla suddenly couldn’t catch her breath.
With a darkly sexual chuckle, Adrian gave a nod at her shoulder. “Come on. Let’s move closer.”
Adrian nudged Layla and she needed no second urging as he led her to a soft chaise and angled it so they had a perfect view of the tubs but were still a good ten feet from the action. Pulling Layla down with him, Adrian spooned his body behind hers as they both lay on their sides, propped up by pillows to watch Rhennic and Dusk.
As Layla heated deliciously from watching her men in the pool, Adrian shucked his wet shirt, laying his deliciously sculpted body close to hers. Adrian was hard in his damp jeans; deeply aroused as he pressed up against Layla from behind. As he palmed her ribs with strong fingers, kneading her, Layla gasped. She writhed beneath Adrian’s touch as he kissed her neck. Over at the pool, Dusk glanced up from Rhennic’s attentions as Reginald looked over. Layla was suddenly treated to a sweet, dark wash of oceanic energy from Reginald as he gave her a subtle smile and Dusk gave a sexy, rumbling chuckle. Layla’s eyelashes fluttered from the combination of her men’s magics as they flooded hard all through her body.
As Adrian turned her face up, kissing her lips.
Layla fell into him. She fell into Adrian so hard, from his simple kiss and the sheer weight of her own arousal at what her men were doing. Her Dragon’s passions didn’t rise, but in a way it was better; a clean heat with which she got to enjoy the depth of her need for Adrian’s lean, strong body, combined with the softness of his lips, and the dark, sexy powers of her other men. Layla felt Fury’s oceanic coils wrap though Reginald’s, surging into Dusk’s rumbles as she kissed Adrian. The sweet scent of heather and lavender perfumed the air from Rhennic with small crackles of power until Layla’s whole body blazed with joy.
Feeling all of her men come together for her.
Inside her – even without the Bind.
Slowly, Adrian drew back from their kiss, nuzzling his nose over hers. Turning her to watch her other men, he corralled her close, then slid his hand down her hip. Layla’s breath caught as he eased his long fingers beneath the edge of her bikini. As he slid his fingers in to stroke her, she became riveted, her breath so high in her chest she thought she might just pass out.
“Easy, Layla,” Adrian crooned by her ear as the rest of her men stared her down with carnal glory. “Breathe. Just relax… and let us do the rest.”
CHAPTER 10 – ETHER
Layla was caught deliciously in Adrian’s arms as he stroked her on the chaise with the rest of her men watching. As Layla heated with need, she felt the combination of her men’s Bound magics swirl deliciously around her, caressing her like hands in addition to what Adrian was doing. Touches slipped over her bare thighs and fingers eased in under her bikini to glide over her breasts. Light sensations of suckles pulled on her nipples as a feeling of strong, slow hands parted her down below. Layla could barely separate one decadent power from another as sweet low-grade rumbles poured through her in oceanic waves, and winds of jasmine and lavender caressed her skin.
Through it all, Adrian stroked her, heightening her into it. Layla felt how all her drakes focused their power on her, joining their sensual might to Adrian’s as he slid his fingers over her; harder now. Arching, Layla undulated as Adrian gripped her close, still only sliding his fingers over her and dipping in slightly, teasing her rather than going all the way in. She wanted him to go in; she needed it, so badly. As her men’s magics synched to Adrian’s, Layla felt their touches slip over her now like a thousand hands and ten thousand fingertips – so much pleasure; so good. So many hands and fingers were stroking her now; so many tongues licking and mouths suckling and teeth grazing that Layla cried out in Adrian’s arms, shivering all over with pleasure.
And Adrian shushed her – gripping her harder as he gently bit her neck.
Layla cried out, barely breathing as her men’s exquisite attentions spiraled her back out to the place she’d found with Rake last night. Stars spread behind her fluttering eyelashes as devouring touches took her everywhere. Adrian kept sliding his fingers over her, and her men’s magic joined him, over and over. Keening now, bucking under Adrian’s pleasure as he held her firmly from escaping, Adrian’s expert touch held Reginald’s grace and Dusk’s depth, Rhennic’s lustful joy and Fury’s dark hedonism all at once. Layla could feel how much her men were sharing power as they licked and sucked, stroked and kissed her without even touching her. They had control of this ride; Layla’s power wasn’t anywhere in it.
And as she had that thought, spiraling out to the universe upon their touch, she suddenly felt herself succumb.
Layla had never felt true surrender before. She’d never trusted anyone to hold her and love her this deeply. It was a beautiful fall – and even as she fell, it flooded her wide open. With a gasp, Layla felt her heart open, straining the very edges of her being. Kissing her with abandon, Adrian slid his fingers into her then; heaving into her deep with the joined power of the others. Five powers sundered her, taking her deep inside as her men’s love flooded her; and Layla came, screaming her bliss into Adrian’s mouth and he devoured her annihilation with his kiss. Deep inside, her Dragon roared with completion, knowing this was yet another of her truths made plain. Her drakes completed her, in a way Layla had never felt – and it felt like home. Rushing away, her powerful climax left her breathless as she writhed in Adrian’s arms, gasping as he slid his fingers sweetly out.
“Good?” Adrian murmured as he chuckled at her lips.
“My god!” Layla gasped, still seeing stars behind her vision as she re-entered reality.
“Good.” Adrian grinned now, darkly sexy and enjoying how he and the others had brought her with their newly Bound powers. As Layla’s eyelashes fluttered open, she realized she could feel all her men watching her now as they soaked in the hot pool. It wasn’t them; their magic had flowed away now that her climax was complete, but a strange new sensation, different than the cords of her Bind. It felt as if Layla’s aura simply breathed out from her further than usual.
And it was so oddly lovely that Layla sat up suddenly on the chaise.
“Something wrong?” Adrian asked as he sat up behind her.
“No, I just…” Layla blinked, then twisted to Adrian. “I can feel you. All of you, from what we did just now. Not with my Bind-power but like my whole skin is breathing you. Like my entire aura just… expanded. It was something that began when I was doing meditations with Rake this past week, like I expanded out into the universe. I did it again as you all touched me. Like my aura’s larger now, but it’s not really my Dragon.”
“You’re sensing theether, Layla.” Fury spoke from the pools, and Layla turned to him, having not expected him to comment. “The substance that Binds the universe together at its fundament. Some sages insist ether and love are the same, and that only by accessing true love can one come into contact with the etheric state. I found it through writhing in torture for centuries. But it seems you are simply able to find it through opening to the universe… and feeling deep love.”
“What does that mean?” Layla asked, her body and mind still adjusting to reality as Adrian wrapped her in his arms where they sat upon the chaise. Layla’s body was still flooded with that breathing, amazing pleasure as she watched Fury, the rest of her men turning to him also.
