Niko doesn’t hesitate. He crawls over me, pressing a kiss to my mouth that’s hot and desperate, stealing my breath away. I taste my arousal on him, but it only makes the kiss hotter. “Tell me if it’s too much,” he murmurs against my lips.
It is a lot, but I’m too far gone to stop this now. It’s a lot, and yet I yearn for more. I need him like I need the air in my lungs. Hell, I’ve needed him since our ceremony, and I’m not losing this chance. I wrap my legs around his hips. “Please, Niko. I need you.”
Whatever hesitations he had are gone in the blink of an eye. He caresses my cheek, sweet and gentle. He lowers himself, kissing my neck. It’s the perfect distraction, as I feel the tip of his cock press against my entrance. I whimper, digging my heels into his back. That’s all the permission he needs to thrust in one easy go, sheathing himself inside me.
My mouth drops open in a gasp. There’s a little pain, followed by pleasure. He’s big,reallybig. My walls tighten around him, desperately trying to adjust to his size and girth. My back arches, and Niko groans as he bottoms out. My nails dig into his back as a low whimper leaves my lips.
“You’re perfect,” he whispers. “So perfect for me, Evangeline.”
Behind him, Zephyr kneels, fingers splayed on Niko’s hips. “Don’t go too fast. Make her feel it. Show her how good your cock is. How good it can make her feel.”
And Niko listens. He pulls out slowly, then thrusts back in with devastating control. Each roll of his hips is deliberate. Deep. My body jolts with each movement, and I grip the sheets hard. My gaze drifts between both fae, memorizing their faces and the soft moans they make.
Zephyr trails kisses down Niko’s spine, hands roaming over his body as if he owns it. He touches him with a familiarity that comes from years of being lovers. I can’t help but wonder if Niko and I will become as familiar.
The sight alone undoes me. Watching Niko—so powerful and dominant—give himself over like this toZephyr’s touch makes my throat tighten with something I can’t name. No matter how much I remind myself Zephyr isn’t mine, my heart can’t seem to remember that. It wants him as much as it wants Niko.
Foolish heart.
“You love her,” Zephyr says softly into Niko’s ear. My body tenses, hearing those words leave his lips. Love? Certainly not so soon. That’s not possible, and yet…
A few weeks ago, I never thought a world like this existed. I’ve seen the impossible, so finding love is plausible. Especially the way my heart skips a beat at the thought of being loved. No one has loved me in a very long time, and I don’t realize how empty I’ve been until this moment. Ender said we were a match. Maybe we truly are soulmates in every sense of the word.
Niko moans, thrusts faltering. “Yes.” The word is clear, confident. It’s not a confession in the heat of the moment he’ll take back either. There’s no mistaking his answer for anything other than the truth. My heart lurches, desperate to hear it again, but scared to think about my own feelings, which are a tangled mess I can’t unwind. Not with him sheathed inside me. I can’t be trusted with what will come out of my mouth.
“And you trust me?” Zephyr purrs into Niko’s ear, reaching for a small vial of oil sitting on the bedside table.
“Yes.”
Zephyr pulls Niko up onto his knees and uncaps the vial. He pours the contents into his hand, rubbing his fingers together suggestively. My eyes widen as I realize what’s about to happen. I’ve seen them together before,even though I shouldn’t have. But now…I’ll be a part of it.
“Then let me in,” he murmurs. “Let me fuck you while you take your wife, mate.”
Niko trembles above me, forehead dropping to mine. “Are you okay?” he whispers. His eyes search mine for any signs of hesitation. Even though he’s barely holding on by a thread, his first reaction is to make sure I’m okay. I’m certain if I said I didn’t want this, he would stop, no questions asked. Except I’ve never wanted anything more in my life.
“Yes,” I breathe. “Please. I want this. I want both of you.” My voice cracks, desperation ringing out around us. I swear I hear Zephyr let out a groan.
Niko nods, and the next moment, I feel the shift. Zephyr’s hand on Niko’s back, the sharp intake of breath, the tension in Niko’s thighs. His body trembles on top of mine. I can’t see what’s going on, but I imagine Zephyr’s fingers sliding into Niko to prepare his mate for his cock.
“Fuck…” Niko grits out, his voice ragged, like he’s barely holding on. Every muscle in his body goes taut as he sinks deeper inside me, his hips jerking in uneven, desperate thrusts. My back arches instinctively, chasing every inch of him, every drag of friction that threatens to tear me apart in the best possible way. I scream out, but my words are unintelligible, even to me.
Behind him, Zephyr lets out a low, wicked chuckle, clearly amused. His hand clamps down hard on Niko’s hips, taking control. He moves Niko’s body like a puppet on strings, forcing him to thrust into me, slow, shallow rolls that have me clawing at the sheets, crying out withevery maddening inch. Niko’s shoulders tense, and I know he’s close.
“Don’t stop,” I gasp, breathless and trembling. “More—please.”
Zephyr hums, pleased by the way I beg. Niko’s breath shudders against my skin, moaning low in my ear. It’s the hottest thing I’ve ever heard, and I desperately want him to do it again.
“You hear that?” he murmurs in Niko’s ear. “She wants more. Are you going to give it to her, or do I have to show you how it’s done?”
Niko growls low in his throat, meeting his challenge. His hips snap harder under Zephyr’s grip, driving deeper into my pussy. My body convulses, and I scream. Or he screams. I’m no longer certain.
He then slows, panting hard as he desperately tries to even out his breathing. The air is thick with sweat, need, and something deeper—something dangerous. I’m not sure who’s in control anymore. All I know is I’m caught between them, unraveling, and loving every second of it.
Zephyr murmurs in Niko’s ear again, turning the tips of my mate’s ears red, the flush creeping down his back. I hate that I can’t hear them, even if it makes this moment more exciting. He positions himself behind Niko, pressing hungry kisses to his neck. Zephyr fists his cock before guiding himself inside Niko. Niko lets out a string of expletives, body shaking as he’s filled by his powerful mate.
“Fuck…” Niko groans. It’s such a hot sight, I know it’ll forever be seared into my memory. I barely get to enjoy it though, because then Niko starts moving fast again, but this time, there’s more desperation. More power. Each thrust rocks me against the bed as Zephyr takes him from behind, setting a rhythm that drives Niko deeper into me. I’m powerless to do anything other than take it.
The crude sounds of us fucking—moans, gasps, the slap of skin on skin—fill the room. The firelight flickers across their bodies, painting them gold and shadow. They both look like the kings they are. A thin sheen of sweat coats their bodies.
