Brian chuckled to himself upon waking, finding himself held in place by Reif’s arm and leg, pinning him once again. Ever since his mate found out his sea dragon was pregnant, cuddling with Brian was Reif’s preferred way of sleeping. The first time it happened, Brian wasn’t sure what to think since he’d spent over 600 years sleeping alone, never having a sex partner spend the entire night with him.
It was his choice to send the guy on his way after sex, never wanting to lead anyone on. There were times Brian was tempted to see if a relationship might develop, but in the end, always rejected the idea since he knew if he was ever so lucky to find his Fated Mate, it would kill him to have to choose between them.
Shifting slightly, Brian felt his ass cheek clench, feeling the after effects of Reif’s fuck last night. Leaving the party, his mate’s hands were all over him as they walked down the hall to their room. Once inside, Brian’s clothes were ripped from him after which Reif carried him to their bed, placing him on his hands and knees. Looking over his shoulder he watched as his mate stripped, ogling Reif’s erect cock pointing at the place Brian longed for it to be.
It was a night of hard, fast, fucking, just what he wanted and needed; to be taken and owned in a way he’d never been before. With Reif’s seed in him and his ass reminding him who it belonged to, Brian felt a deep happiness in his heart and soul. It had taken many years to find Reif, the one made just for him, and while he’d had doubts about ever finding his Fated Mate, he’d always kept the faith.
“Nessie, you up?” Reif growled.
“Yeah, just thinkin’ aboot last night.”
Pulling Nessie tight to him, Reif licked the sensitive spot he’d found under Brian’s ear, smiling at the shiver he caused. “It was one to remember.”
“Ay, twas.”
“How are you?”
“Guid. I’m lovin’ that I can still feel ye.”
Grinning, Reif murmured into his mate’s ear, “I’ll make it my goal to have it happen often.”
Turning over, Brian’s hands cupped his mate’s face. Then, leaning in, he gave Reif, a deep toe-curling kiss before whispering, “I love ye so much.”
Thrusting his hips, his cock rubbing against Nessie’s, Reif groaned, his lust fueled by the fire inside him. Flicking his eyes up to his mate’s, he saw love glowing there—a love he never believed would be his.

“We’re late.” Reif glanced at Nessie as he dressed. After an early morning slow, sexy fuck and then falling asleep again with Brian tucked in his arms, Reif had slept through the alarm on his phone. Waking up an hour later, they still might have made it on time, but when he entered the bathroom and saw Nessie’s gorgeous ass in the air, Reif groaned, knowing his cock wouldn’t be happy until it was hilt-deep in it again.
“Ay, but they’ll wait for us.”
Pulling off his t-shirt, Reif moved behind Nessie, pulling him against his groin. “Shower sex with you is my new favorite thing,” he growled. “I think we should do it every morning.” Burying his face in Brian’s hair, heinhaled his mate’s scent deeply, wanting to surround himself with it. “I love the way you smell.”
“Ye know my scent is now a combination of yers and mine since we’ve claimed each other.” Turning around, he gave Reif a kiss while palming his bulge. “How are ye going to hide this?” Brian asked, squeezing his mate’s hard cock.
“Not gonna try, since being near you seems to make it hard all-the-fucking-time.”
“Well, stay away from Theo; he loves big cocks and I dinna share.”
“No worries, Nessie. I’m a one-sea-serpent kind of guy.”
“Guid. Are ye ready?”
Taking Nessie’s hand, Reif led him to the door. “Yup. Let’s go see what Zane found. The faster we find the green diamond, the faster we can look for a house for our babies.”

When they got to Kieran’s suite, Reif discovered he and Nessie weren’t the last to arrive after all. Claiming the spot next to Kieran, Reif sat down with Brian beside him. Looking around the table, he grinned as he took in the tired expressions on the rest of the faces.
Bursting into the room, Zane ushered David to a seat and then, setting down a stack of papers, lowered himself into the chair beside him. “Sorry we’re late guys, but we overslept.”
“Join the club,” Reif muttered.
“Did you find anything?” asked Logan.
“Yeah, I did but before we get to that, I have a question for Slate. What did your people discover about the green diamond?” asked Zane.
