“What happened to you that day?” He asked. “The day we found monsters here.”
“I rode Bertrand home,” I said simply. “There was nothing that I could do to help.”
“But why were you here, in the first place, Sylvie?” He narrowed his eyes at me.
“My father stumbled across the castle awhile back,” I went with the story we'd concocted. “He had stopped to pick a rose for me and was attacked by the witch's monsters. They took him to the witch, and she imprisoned him in a cell beside those that held the princes. Bertrand, our horse, came home without father, and he led me back to the castle. I snuck inside, freed the princes and my father, and they took back their palace.”
“Just like that?” Theo asked.
“Well, no, not 'just like that,'” I huffed. “You arrived as we were fighting the beasts. I tried to get you to leave so that you wouldn't be hurt, but you didn't listen to me. You and the others broke down the door, and you know the rest.”
“But I don't.” Theo grimaced. “I took a blow to the head, and when I woke up, I was home. The others had carried me back with them.”
“Oh, well, I'm not sure what happened either,” I said evasively. “As I told you, I ran off after you broke down the door. Lance told me and my father to run, so we did. When we returned, we found the brothers victorious, and the beasts dead.”
“Where are the bodies?”
“Excuse me?”
“Of the beasts,” Theo said. “Where are the dead monsters?”
“The servants buried them, I expect.” I shrugged. “Why are you interrogating me about this, Theo?”
“Indeed,” Lance's deep voice interrupted us. “Why are you harassing my wife over her heroism? Heroism which saved me and my brothers, I might add.”
“I... I'm sorry, Your Majesty,” Theo stammered. “We are very old friends, and I took liberties with the Queen that I should not have.”
Queen. Yes, that would take some adjusting to. But it did help me get out of sticky situations like this one. Theo gave me a deep bow and hurried away.
“Thanks for the rescue,” I said as I slid into Lancelot's arms.
“It was the least I could do after you released me from my prison,” he teased me and then lowered his lips to mine.
“Stop hogging our wife,” Audric said as he walked up with Blaise.
“I think it's time to retire to the Queen's bedchambers,” Blaise added.
It had been decided that we'd spend this first night together in my new suite. Then we would go back to a rotation, during which I could choose to either spend the night in one of my husband's rooms or invite them to stay in mine. That way, we could each have our space and the option of sharing it.
“Iamfeeling a little tired.” I yawned dramatically.
Lancelot smiled and nodded to one of the new servants. With much fanfare, we left the celebration and headed up to the bridal suite. It had been decorated with silk and roses; the lavish bed turned down to show the cream colored sheets sprinkled with rose petals. There were vases set all around, overflowing with red roses, that added a delicate scent to the room. Before I could walk through the door, the brothers picked me up, carrying me between them over the threshold. I laughed as they continued to carry me all the way to the bed.
Blaise ran back to shut and lock the door, and then the three of them pounced. My dress became a silken heap, piled over the men's clothing. Hands roamed my body as Audric claimed my lips. I shivered as delicious sensations flowed over me; Audric's tongue tangling with mine, Lance's hot mouth at my breast, and Blaise's teeth nibbling their way down my arm. Then I was lying in bed; the men pressed in around me. Our legs twined together, and then two of theirs pulled mine apart. I looked up from Blaise's kiss as Lance settled between my thighs.
“I've been dreaming about this,” Lance whispered right before he set his mouth to me.
My head rolled on the pillow as pleasure consumed me. Blaise and Audric were pressed hard into my sides, and my hands sought them out. I stroked their silken lengths as they moaned and covered my body with kisses. All the while, Lance continued his ardent ministrations to the most sensitive part on my body. Then suddenly, Lancelot lifted his head and met my stare. I nodded, and he eased over me as Audric and Blaise shifted further to the sides. I continued to stroke them as Lance surged into me, and we all cried out together.
Ecstasy took over, and we were lost to it for hours. The slide of Lance inside me, his muscled chest pressed to mine, and his powerful arms bracketing my face. Then Audric urged me to my knees, driving into me from behind as Blaise knelt before me. I took Blaise into my mouth, and he groaned, his fingers going through my hair. Audric had my hips in his strong grip as he pounded into me violently, sending rapture ricocheting inside me. My gaze shifted to the side, where Lance lay, watching us with a hot stare as he stroked himself. Then he shifted to lay beneath me and suck at my breasts.
I screamed my way into a blissful abyss.
Finally, Blaise eased beneath me, and I angled him inside me and took control. The other men stroked my body as I rode Blaise, kissing my skin and breasts and lips. Blaise stared up at me with adoring eyes as I spread my hands over his chest and rubbed my thumbs over his nipples. Audric and Lance started working themselves as Blaise and I approached our apex.
We all came together in a tumultuous cry of pleasure.
As the climax rocked through us, we shifted. I changed into my werewolf form, and then men turned back into beasts. I opened my eyes to find myself surrounded by fur and claws. I gasped, and the men jerked in shock.
