“Now?” I asked incredulously, glancing back at the door.
“Well notrightthis second, no, but soon. Why? You have a prior engagement, Ricci?”
“No,” I hurried to say, not wanting to give up this chance. “It’s just… we’re otherwise engaged with our wife.”
There was a beat of silence before Keane let out a chuckle. “I see. Well I’ll give you guys a week, there’s the Amante family’s party at that estate of yours, and if I’m right, it’s your best shot at knocking your king right off of his hill.”
It was a logistical nightmare and went against every careful bone in my body. But somehow, because it was Keane who suggested it, I felt like we could pull it off.
“Gather your allies, Ricci. You will need them.”
Then he hung up the phone, leaving me standing alone in the hallway as my future—our future was left hanging in the balance.
Twenty-Five
‘No more,’I groaned as Elio moved lazily underneath me, his thick cock making my already over-sensitive pussy shudder with a weak orgasm.
Nico, who was moving behind me, sliding his own length up and down the crack of my ass, shook with laughter.‘You said that four hours ago and then had another flare up, Cini.’
‘Yeah,’Elio said with a chuckle as he cupped my bruised and bitten breasts in his palms.‘Ranieri and Dante didn’t make it out of the last round.’
I turned to where Ranieri was passed out in the chair next to the window, his mouth open as he slept.
Dante had disappeared, saying something about a shower and food, which left me and the Ricci cousins to finish up my very first heat.
‘This time I mean it,’I told Elio primly.‘I think my heat is finally done with.”
It had been four days of hazy bliss where I was only aware of their bodies pressing into mine and the times when they forced me to eat and drink water.
Nico slid his cock inside of my ass, forcing me to arch against his sweaty chest.
‘Let’s get one more round out of you,’he said, his inner-voice filled with mirth as I was pinned in between them.
Another hour later and they had finally deposited me into a warm, bubble-filled bath to recover. It had been too hot at first, but as my skin acclimated to the water it started to soothe my muscles which were sore from the Olympic-level orgy I had put them through over the past couple of days.
‘I put Epsom salt in the water,’Dante told me as he scrubbed shampoo into my hair, washing away the sweat that had clung to the strands for days.
‘Thank you,’I said, leaning against his soft touch.
‘You are very welcome,’the alpha replied and I could feel his pleasure at taking care of me through the bond.‘Now dunk so we can rinse.’
Plugging my nose, I dipped my head underneath the water and helped him shake the shampoo out of my hair.
When I came up, Elio had joined us in the bathroom.
‘Hey,’he said, crouching next to the tub.‘We need to talk about something.’
My previously peaceful mood vanished in an instant at the tone of his voice. I had noticed them having verbal conversations in between sessions during my heat and making sure to turn away from me so I couldn’t read their lips, so I figured something was going on that I wouldn’t like.
Now that I knew I was right about that because it was like someone had suddenly dumped ice into my bathwater.
‘On the first night of your heat I got a phone call,’he said slowly, reaching into the tub to hold my hand.
I knew where this was going. I’d known it from the moment on the island when he explained that there was no running away from my father.
‘No,’I said firmly, refusing to even hear him out. Dante’s hand rubbed soothing circles into my back but I didn’t want to be comforted right now.
Standing up in the water I nearly tripped getting out of the tub and waved their hands away, grabbing a fluffy gray robe and stomping out of the bathroom.
