I nestled between Rath's thighs and really got into it, putting all my love and lust into the long licks up his length, the swirls of my tongue around his tip, and the pounding motions of taking him into my mouth. It was phenomenal. I loved every second of his clenching thighs and rolling hips. The way he groaned my name made my cock twitch against the bed. I started undulating my hips too, rubbing myself against the sheets. Maybe I wouldn't need Xae after all.

“Ember!” Rath shouted, his hips lifting as he filled my mouth.

I moaned and sucked him down, lifting my stare to meet Rath's wild gaze. His hips jerked and seized up, arching against me. I watched his lips part as he crested, then his expression went lax. Only when he was coming down did I withdraw, sucking free of him. I sat up and licked my lips.

“I love you, Rath,” I said.

“I love you, Ember.”

“I love you too,” Xae said from the doorway. “And I see that you're still hard. You want some help with that?”

As an answer, I bent over and lifted my ass into the air.

Xaedren growled and pounced. The movement sent Vexen's basket rolling off the bed and the flowers flying. I didn't care. All I wanted was Xae's solid, thick flesh thrusting into me. Thank goodness I was still oiled from our last round.

I sighed in delight as Xae rubbed his tip against my hole, then grinned to see Rath pull himself up to lean against the headboard, settling in for the show. “If you get excited again, my mouth is ready for another fucking.”

Rath grinned. “So crass. I love it.” His hand lowered to cup his stirring cock. Then he looked up at Xae. “Fuck him hard. I want to see his dick slap his belly.”

I guess Rath was past that whole making love thing.

Xae chuckled as he slipped into me. “You don't have to ask me to do that.” Then he slammed forward, making all three of us groan. “That's it, Ember, take that cock. It's yours.” He grabbed my hips and started a slow pumping. “Take it deep.”

I pushed back against Xae, then got up to my hands and braced myself. “Xae, shut up and fuck me harder.”

“Oh, you're going to pay for that attitude, little boy,” Xae growled and slammed into me. Then his palm hit my ass.

The sound of the slap sent shivers down my spine even as the feel of it zinged through me. “Is that all you got?”

Xae was learning new alpha techniques from Taroc, but he hadn't mastered them yet. So, I couldn't help teasing him.

Xaedren snarled, slung an arm around my belly, and lifted me off the bed. He straightened onto his knees, and I had to adjust my feet to press them flat on the mattress. But not for long. As soon as Xae had me in position, he switched his hold to beneath my thighs and lifted me up and down on his cock.

Rath chuckled even as he stroked his cock and massaged his balls. “Thank you. There's the belly slapping I wanted to see.”

Sure enough, with every thrust, my cock flopped up and down, hitting my stomach. I was still able to touch the mattress with my toes, and I used them to steady myself as I reached behind to grab Xae's thick neck.

“Now this is more like it,” I said. “Take that ass, Xae. Fill my channel with your big cock.”

“Say it,” he growled.

I grinned and added, “It's yours. All of me is yours.”

Chapter Five

After making love to Rath and fucking Xae, then, fucking Rath, the men fell asleep. I was still awake. And hungry. That's when I remembered the basket.

“Custard buns!” I whispered as I slipped out of bed.

The pastries had made it through the tumble unscathed, just a little jumbled in their box. I scooped them up along with the flowers, shoving everything back into the basket. Then I crept out to the front room with my loot. Smiling at the prospect of a mouth full of cream—from the custard buns, of course—I sat down at our little dining table and set the basket before me.

I unloaded everything, finding a bag of hard candy in addition to the flowers and buns. Then, at the bottom of the basket, a letter. I sighed when I saw the folded parchment. I used to get excited every time I received one of Vexen's letters, but after our fight, I wasn't sure if I was in the mood to read whatever he'd put in this one.

I took a fortifying bite of bun first.

I unfolded the letter and scanned it. Then I read more slowly.

Ember,
