The gruff bounty hunter traces her cheek, satisfied. "Beautiful."
She clenches around me again. I breathe in and out slowly, trying to stay in control.
"Hells," Zak whispers in awe, staring at her face.
Kaenon is still kneeling at the side of the bed, entranced, before he leans forward to kiss Heidi's birthmark. The moment he does, he shudders and exhales harshly, sensing her aroused, intense emotions.
Heidi's relief is like a balm before she kisses me again. Proud that she's letting us see her pretty face, I begin thrusting again, already so close from all this edging that my thoughts start to dislocate and stutter inside my own head.
I can sense her pleasure building, too, until abruptly, Heidi tenses, placing her hands on my chest.
"Oh, gods. Wait, wait, wait," she gasps, squeezing her eyes shut. "P—protection."
"What?" I rasp, my brain not working thanks to the way our pleasure is torturing me at this point.
"With the Legacy Curse lifting, it made it so legacies aren't, um…incapable of…"
Shit.
She's saying legacies can procreate outside of bound quintets now.
Fucking gods, just the idea of getting her pregnant makes me shudder with need. I want that one day, with her. I'm so damnclose to losing it that it's hard for me to pay attention to what she's saying next.
"There are a few magical birth control methods most legacies use now, just like humans—but I haven't been with anyone in so long, so I didn't even think…"
Zak jumps up from the bed. "I'm on it. Don't fuck her more until I'm back to watch. Be right back."
Barely a minute later, he returns to the room and proudly holds up the boxes of condoms he stole from the gas station when I met him.
That'swhat he stole them for? Damn. I'm begrudgingly impressed that he was thinking ahead about the curse being broken.
I still fucking loathe the idea of anything between Heidi and me. But since she's worried about protection, I quickly slip one onto my tormented cock before roughly shoving myself back into her. Heidi gasps out at the way I'm already taking her hard again, her legs locking around me.
Her pleasure barrels through my chest, going straight to my still heart. Just when I think I'm going to ruin our first time together by finishing first, Heidi cries out—and her surge of consuming pleasure is so intense that my mind melts as it finally happens, my cock jerking inside of her.
The post-orgasm haze of lust and utter awe makes me drop my face against her neck, kissing her there as we both try to catch our breath.
"No biting," Asher reminds me quietly from where he's returned to watch near the foot of the bed.
Normally, I'd tell him to fuck off.
But I have to give the mercenary credit—he's perceptive as hell, because in this brief reprieve from the hunger I always have for Heidi, thirst has crept in. I hadn't even noticed that my lipswere lingering over her pulse, my teeth aching, until he called me out.
Reluctantly pulling away from the love of my life as I try to regain some control, I move away on her king-sized bed just enough that we're no longer touching, so she won't have to feel as another faint wave of bloodlust starts to course through me.
She's still dazed, her mouthwatering tits rising and falling as she lies sprawled on her bed like the most beautiful fucking offering to the four hungry monsters in her bedroom.
"Damn," Zak groans at the sight of her. "You smell so good, Candy."
“She smellsperfect," Kaenon whispers in agreement before he can't seem to help himself, crawling onto the bed beside her to kiss Heidi for the first time.

HEIDI
As soon asKaenon's soft, warm lips coax mine, my inner animal reacts sharply.
Mate.Ours,she tells me with certainty.
