He doesn’t wait for us to respond, simply mists from the room.
Maliki chuckles under his breath, then focuses on our resting mate. “Can you see what she’s dreaming about?”
I run my fingers through her hair. “She’s currently floating in a lagoon with two moons shining overhead.” It’s the same place I found her in the other night when I joined her in the water. “Want me to wake her?”
He shakes his head. “I just want to make sure she’s safe.”
“She’s secure in my dream world. Whatever Hades did to fix the barrier seems to be holding, but I’m definitely keeping a mental eye on our mate.”
Maliki leans in to kiss her cheek, then settles onto the pillow beside her. “Good. Wake me if anything changes.” The words are a sign of trust, his faith in me to guard our female a compliment of sorts.
However, his shadows seep out of his skin to wrap around Serapina’s sleeping form, his natural inclination to protect her overriding his commentary.
Though, I wonder if he even realizes he’s doing it, because he’s already falling asleep. I sense him in my dream world, searching for Serapina.
With a smile, I link them, showing him the lagoon and encouraging him to go play. He casts a smile upward, one I see on his face in bed, too, and I leave him to play with our Omega in the land of imagination.
It doesn’t take long for Serapina to release a soft moan, her fantasy trickling into reality as she clenches her thighs and rolls toward Maliki.
“Hmm,” I hum, settling against her back as she presses her breasts against Maliki’s arm. “You keep sleeping, little dreamer. And I’ll make sure you get where you need to go.”
She pushes her ass against my groin like she understands what I said.
Maybe she did.
Or perhaps this is just my Omega reacting the way she should.
I trace my fingers up the side of her thigh to her hip and kiss the back of her head. Then I linger, inhaling deeply as the scent of her infiltrates my lungs.
She smells like decadent chocolate, her natural fragrance encouraging me to lick, nibble, and bite. But I hold myself back and simply continue skimming my hand upward.
Serapina shivers.
Then her sweet little rump pushes back into me again as another moan escapes her.
I smile into her hair, my palm curling around her hip. Maliki turns toward her in his sleep, his cock hard and ready against her lower belly.
“Well, that looks fun,” I say against her ear. “I wonder, is he inside you right now? Fucking you to oblivion?” Because her hips are certainly moving in a manner that suggests she’s enjoying his erotic vibrations.
And the way his tattoos are swirling all over her implies the same.
Yet she keeps pressing back against me like she’s inviting me to play, too.
“Such an eager Omega,” I whisper, kissing her neck and then her shoulder. “You want all your mates to pleasure you, don’t you, little dreamer?”
Her lips part on a pant, her nipples beading as I admire the view of her writhing between me and Maliki in her sleep.
“Fuck, sweetheart, you have no idea how often I’ve fantasized about this—playing with you while you dream.” My hand slides to her belly, the back of it brushing Maliki’s hard cock as I glide my touch downward. He releases a subtle growl, no doubt sensing my presence. But he doesn’twake. He stays in the dream with Serapina, just as he should, while I allow my fingers to slip downward.
However, I pause just before I reach her cunt.
And curl my hand into a fist.
Because we haven’t discussed her boundaries in a sleep state yet.
This might be my kink, but I don’t know if it’s hers.
Swallowing, I force my hand to return to her hip and bury my head in her neck. “The restraint I have to show around you is borderline painful,” I admit. “But I’ll suffer another eternity of agony if it means pleasing you, Serapina.”
