Yes, it was true that Nix had no idea what the future held once she declared herself a phoenix shifter to the council, but… It was not as if Nix was signing on for a five-year-long war where her mates would be separated from her.
Bael’s continual comments on how “wet” she was for them agitated her enough to dare him to “check.” Without much thought, she lifted her skirt and said, “Come see for yourself hownotturned on I am by you all.”
An ounce of regret sliced through her at the evil grin that broke across the incubus’s face at her challenge. As if he had goaded her into doing exactly that.
Bael stepped toward her and kneeled on the floor, so he was eye level with her panties.
Okay, maybe this was not the smartest idea…
Bael opened his mouth, and his shifted tongue—large and forked at the end—unrolled and flexed over her mound. She sucked in a breath and coughed at the length of his demon, serpent-like tongue.
Lusty delight danced in Bael’s red eyes as he bent his chin forward and ran his long, thick tongue over the inner crease of her panties.
Without any guidance, Bael’s tongue pushed at the thin, flimsy fabric, separated her lower pussy lips, and lapped directly over her stiffening clit.
“Bael,” she yelped, both in alarm and carnal need.
“Fuck,” Thierry cursed from behind Bael as he jerked off faster, watching the incubus lick his mate.
“Is she wet?” Persius asked.
Bael hummed to himself, purposefully vibrating his long tongue over her most sensitive flesh.
“I need tofocus,” Nix warned him.
“Aw, you need to focussss?” Bael asked teasingly, letting his tongue slap against her slit.
“I—I’m trying to change the future.”
“And we will help you, but right now, I need you to relax and come. We need your trust back, baby. Trust us, and we will make sure nothing happens to you.”
Nix quivered as Bael licked over her again. “D-Didn’t help me much the last time.”
“Fuck last time.This time, you have us. We will make sure you have all you need. Food, gifts, safety, love, orgasms. We’ve got you, Nix,” Bael promised.
“We do,” Thierry agreed.
Persius and Ryker joined in with a raspy, “Yes,” as they removed her top to leave her chest bare for their hungry gazes.
“I can taste your arousal. Your little clit is lifting up against my taste buds, budding for me. Are you still going to deny your feelings for us?”
Nix strained to keep the pleasure from appearing on her expression.
“We didn’t hurt you yet, Nix. Please don’t hold us accountable for the mistakes of ghosts. We will never lock you in a cage. We will always listen to you.” Bael followed up his words with a strategic and expert tongue flick right onto her tingling bud.
“You think making me come will earn my forgiveness?” Nix asked, her voice cracking.
“I think weneedyour forgiveness, as much as you need to come.”
The Goddess had told Nix about this—about holding a grudge for something that happened in a timeline that was no longer her own.
Nix’s breath caught in her throat as Bael ripped her panties from her body. The bare, intense touch of his tongue on her clit caused her eyes to roll back in her head. She closed her eyes entirely so they would not be able to tell the magnitude of her pleasure.
“I—I promised to never forgive you,” she whimpered.
“You promisedthem,” Bael reminded her. “The guys who hurt you. Not us. Fuck them. Forget about them. You’ll never see the dumb assholes again. Now fucking come on my mouth.”
Bael settled in, and a familiar buzzing sound came from behind him. Nix gasped as she felt the incubus’s vibrating tail slither up the back of her thigh. It quivered her legs with its vibrating intensity and slid up between her lower cheeks.
