Twin growls surround me, and with the three of us practically on top of each other, the sound vibrates into my bones. “Beautiful, if you want us to touch you, we need to hear you say it,” Kodiak demands, voice husky.

My stomach flips with nervous excitement. “If you guys are interested in taking things to the next level, I’m not opposed.”

Stone rumbles in warning, “Amara...”

Heat flushes my cheeks. “You’re ruining the moment here by making me self-conscious about it. Pass me my phone?”

After a brief pause, Kodi snatches it off of the nightstand, and I fire off a quick text to them both.

I’m cool with you taking off my pants and doing unspeakable, dirty things between my legs. Consent is officially on record.

-Signed,

Amara Quinn Garrison

Stone’s voice is a strained whisper, nearly inaudible. “Amara Garrison?”

If my cheeks weren’t already on fire, they sure as hell would be now. “I mean, you guys keep saying I’m not only your mate, but part of your legion, right? So I thought-”

The air is knocked out of my lungs as I’m pushed onto my back, and then Kodi’s lips are on mine, cupping my cheek as he kisses me breathless. Stone brings my inner wrist to his lips, pressing a lingering kiss to my fluttering pulse. “You’re absolutely right, it just took me by surprise.”

Tearing my lips from Kodi’s, I crane my neck to face him. “In a good or bad way?”

Kodi kisses a path down my jaw to my neck, flicking the tip of his tongue over the column of my throat. “In the best way.”

Stone’s heated gaze is confirmation enough to melt away the last of my reservations, and I surrender. To them, to the sensations Kodiak’s pulling out of me as he kisses a path down my body, and to everything they’re offering.

I’ve spent my life living in fear, and things are more dangerous than ever. But if I could drop dead at any moment, it’s all the more reason to live while I have the chance.

When Kodi reaches my waist, he grips the bottom of my shirt and pushes it up slowly. Following the hem with his lips, he sucks on my rapidly heating skin hard enough to leave a trail of marks. “From the first moment I saw you, I was obsessed, wanted you before I ever knew you were mine.” His thumbs brush over each of my nipples as he shoves my borrowed shirt up over my breasts, dipping his head to take his sweet time putting those tongue piercings to work. “Gods, Amara, every moment you're out of my sight I can't fuckingbreathe.”

Squirming beneath him, I fist the sheet, only for him to give a teasing swipe of his tongue over each of my nipples and start his descent down my stomach again. As Kodi turns his attention to stripping off my shorts, Stone rolls onto his knees to help pull my shirt over my head, chucking it to the side. “I think Kodi may have been onto something.”

I hiss in a sharp breath as Kodiak gently rakes his teeth over the sensitive area beside my hip bone, latching onto the skin and sucking hard enough to have me clenching around nothing, back arching off the bed. “Kodi’s full of good ideas, you’re going to have to be more specific.”

A puff of warm breath as Kodiak chuckles against my skin elicits a shiver down my spine that has me lifting my hips, and he uses the opportunity to pull my shorts farther down my thighs. Stone licks his thumb and rolls it over one of my nipples in agonizingly slow circles. “We should hold off buying you new clothes. Stripping you out of ours is far more satisfying."

I'm saved from having to come up with a seductive reply as Kodi takes a break from leaving marks all over my skin to suck on my clit instead. Bucking my hips, I curse, tangling a fist in his hair. Not only does Kodiak know how to use his tongue, the three metal balls studding a line down it takes the experience to an entirely new level.

I knew the first time he approached me in the library that he looked like a fun night of bad decisions, and I’m mentally kicking myself for the delayed gratification.

“Fuck,bràthair,” Kodi growls, slowing his efforts and dipping his tongue inside on another languid lick, flicking the tip of his tongue over my clit. “Our mate tastes even sweeter than she looks.”

Continuing to tease my nipple with one hand, Stone dips the other between my legs. Two fingers circle my clit before he plunges them inside of me, giving me a few quick pumps and curling his fingers as he withdraws them like we have all the time in the world. Eyes on me, he lifts them to his lips. Pupils dilating as he sucks them clean, his low growl sends another rush of arousal between my legs. “That she does.”

Making quick work of removing his clothes, Stone captures my lips in a brutal kiss, a thrill running down my spine as his dark presence gradually grows around us. The air in the room buzzes with energy, like the calm before the storm. I barely have time to catch my breath before he steals it from my lungs again, kissing me with unrestrained desire while he finger fucks me closer to the edge of combusting before stopping abruptly. Fingers thoroughly coated with my arousal, he spreads it over the head of his cock and gives it a slow stroke.

Kodi dives back in with renewed vigor, sliding his hands under my ass to pull me closer. Hooking one leg behind his back, I ride his face, tightening my grip on his unruly dark hair for leverage. With every roll of his tongue, every stroke of those metal balls dragging across my clit, he pushes me closer to the edge. Heat pools in my lower stomach, every muscle tightening as I chase after my building orgasm, needing just a little more to bring me to the peak.

Stone threads his fingers through my hair, forcing me to face him as he works his cock with a slick fist. “Are you going to scream for us, gorgeous? Let me watch you fall apart while you drench my brother’s face?”

My throat constricts, words stolen from me as pleasure spreads like a rolling heat throughout my body until finally cresting, consuming me entirely. Squeezing my eyes shut as I clench my thighs around Kodi’s head, I gasp as Stone tugs my hair with a growl, instinctively opening my eyes again.

“That’s my girl,” he praises. “No more hiding from us.”

Stone’s pupils are so blown that his eyes are almost completely black, only thinly ringed with the familiar kaleidoscope of colors. That demonic, lust-filled gaze holds me captive while Kodiak draws out my orgasm for a small eternity. Stroking himself faster, Stone follows me over that cliff with a gasped, “Fuck.” Cum paints my chest, his fist tightening in my hair to match the firm grip as he works every last drop out of his cock onto my skin.

Breathing ragged, Stone finally releases me, and I slump back against the mattress, body buzzing with pleasure. Kodi tenderly kisses my inner thigh and climbs up to hover over me. Palming my breast, he strokes his thumb over my nipple, spreading Stone’s cum across my skin. “I never considered myself a slave to my baser instincts, but fuck, seeing you like this just feelsright.” A possessive gleam flashes across his dark blue eyes. “But has me more than a little jealous to stake my claim, too.”
