At the same time, Casimir claimed my mouth in a kiss that stole what little breath I had left.
After that, everything shrank to calloused hands and whispered praises, to Zane’s bitten-off curses and Casimir’s steadying presence. To the terrifying, exhilarating freedom of being wanted and wanting in return.
I moaned when Koa’s fingers pinched my peaked nipple, the sensation sharp and sweet like summer lightning.
Zane’s groan rattled the headboard.
“Can’t I just—”
“No.” Casimir caught his arm again. “Let them.”
But I wasn’t listening anymore. Not when Koa’s mouth was working magic, not when every nerve sang beneath his touch. The wet heat of his tongue swirling my nipple made my back lift off the mattress, legs twisting in the sheets. His hand slid down my quivering stomach, dipping lower, lower, lower.
“Oh!” My hips jerked when fingertips brushed between my thighs, and Casimir swallowed my startled cry in a deep kiss.
“Relax, beloved,” Koa soothed, his fingers gentle as they explored my folds. “I won’t hurt you.”
When one finger slipped inside me, I nearly headbutted Casimir.
“Shh, little wife.” His lips trailed fire along my jaw. “You’re okay. You’re okay.”
At my feet, Zane’s fingers began tracing idle patterns against my ankle, slowly skimming up my calf to the sensitive spot behind my knee, and something new and urgent built inside me. Not the butterflies I’d felt before when they touched me, but a heavy, demanding ache.
Koa worked a second finger inside me, stretching me gently as his thumb found and stroked what he called my “jewel.” Casimir moved down to suckle my other breast, shooting sparks of pleasure through my entire body. Zane kissed the inside of my ankle, then planted open-mouthed kisses along my calf, sending fresh shivers racing across my skin.
Then Koa’s thumb circled my jewel, stroking it in time with the shallow thrusts of his finger. The pressure built and built until I thought I might shatter. And then, with a twist of his fingers, I did.
“Adrenaline spiking. Pulse, too. Endorphins releasing,” Casimir murmured around my nipple, then his clinical tone broke as I inhaled sharply. “Oh. She’s—”
“Coming,” Zane’s chuckle came out strangled.
As the world shattered, my gasp vanished into Casimir’s mouth and my body clamped around Koa’s hand, every muscle twittering. Through the haze, I heard Zane’s ragged curse.
“Night’s teeth! Look at her! Like carved moonlight melting!”
I panted and shivered from the aftershocks. I’d never felt anything like that before, as if my entire being had burst into a thousand pieces of light.
“Precious.” Casimir stroked my hair away from my damp forehead, his gentleness bringing tears to my eyes. “So precious.”
“You’re beautiful when you come, beloved,” Koa murmured, even as his fingers still moved inside me, hitting a spot that made my hips buck involuntarily. “Do you want me to go on?”
“Yes,” I moaned. “Please.”
He withdrew his hand, leaving me feeling strangely empty, but then he moved to kneel next to me, his eyes locked on mine.
“You understand what I’m asking? I want to make love to you, Serafina. I want to be inside you.”
His words, his tone, his gaze, they all made my insides quiver, and I swallowed hard. Amabel and Eluned had taunted me about how much it hurt the first time, but despite my fear, I wanted this. Wantedhim. Wantedallof them.
“I trust you, Koko,” I whispered, reaching for his hand. Our wedding bands clinked softly as our fingers intertwined. “I trust all of you.”
As if my agreement was a signal, he hooked his thumbs in the waistband of his boxers, and I watched, transfixed, as he stripped down. My eyes widened at my first sight of a fully nude male body, a small whimper escaping me to see him proudly erect. I knew the basics of male anatomy, of course, but textbook diagrams hadn’t prepared me forthis.
“Mmm,” was all I managed, my vocabulary deserting me entirely.
“She’s impressed,” Zane laughed. “As expected.”
“Hush, pest,” Casimir chided him, but his lips twitched.
