“Goddamnit, dude,” Vaughn groans, adjusting his cock in his pants.
“God, please!” I moan, squirming when he keeps me on edge.
“Yes, please,” Vaughn says, inching closer to me.
“Take what you need, Bunny,” Soren urges. I suddenly sit up and grab Vaughn’s shoulders for leverage to start bouncing on Soren’s cock.
“He’s a goner,” Diego says when my tits are bouncing in Vaughn’s face, and he groans. I lean into him more. When Vaughn stands, he instinctively holds me to keep me steady when Soren drives into me.
“Fuck!” I moan, looping my arms around his neck. I position myself so my neck is exposed, and Vaughn is panting. His hands are on my sides, keeping me upright as Soren starts fucking me hard and deep. When he quickens his pace, I am pushed to the brink of an orgasm and dangled there. It’s so fucking intense that when it breaks, I instinctively bite down on Vaughn’s neck.
“Fuck, Soren. This is fucking torture,” Vaughn growls. I instantly pull away from him and push back on Soren. The rejection fucking hurts, so I just focus on the one who actually wants me. Soren feels my disconnect immediately and quickens his pace to force me into an orgasm. The very second he comes and pulls away from me, hot tears start to burn my eyes.
“Talia,” Soren says softly.
“Don’t. Please,” I whimper as I get up. I fumble with my clothes for a moment, but then just escape upstairs without them. I am sobbing by the time I am locking myself in the bathroom. I don’teven bother hiding it. I just turn the water on and get myself under the scalding hot water.
I gasp and try to breathe through the panic as it slams down on me, but it brings me down to my knees so fast that the world spins around me. I hear the door open, but I am too busy trying to learn how to breathe through heartbreaking sobs.
“Jesus, Tal. This is boiling,” Vaughn says as he shuts the water off and wraps me in a towel. I am too distraught to fight him now. When he hugs me, I turn inconsolable. Trying to calm myself down, I shove him away.
“Go away!” I scream at him. “Run away. That’s all you people fucking do is run!”
“Talia,” Vaughn says gently, but it feels mocking.
“Go! Away!” I scream, my voice breaking. “You don’t want me, so go the fuck away.”
“I do want you!” Vaughn screams back at me, stunning me into silence. “Goddamnit, Talia. I do want you. I’ve wanted you since the first fucking time I laid eyes on you, but what the fuck am I supposed to do? Hurt the man who has spent centuries in pain? Fuck no. I will fucking suffer if it means he doesn’t have to feel the pain of losing another mate.”
“You are so fucking dense!” I shout, throwing my hands up. “What the fuck did you not fucking understand about five mates?”
“I refuse to make you choose,” Vaughn says firmly.
“You can’t be that fucking stupid,” I deadpan, and he frowns at me. I turn and walk out of the bathroom as I wipe my face. I point at Diego, and his eyes widen.
“I didn’t do it,” Diego says quickly.
“You. Do you think this is me having to choose?” I ask. “Do you think I have to choose one between the five of you?”
“Yeah…” Diego says carefully. “We decided while we were gone that Soren…”
“What in the actual fuck is wrong with y’all?” I yell, turning to Soren, who smirks. “What the fuck?”
“How the fuck do you motherfuckers not study your own goddamn people? How does no one know what the fuck is going on but my father?”
“I knew, if that counts for anything,” Soren laughs.
“You won’t have to choose,” Vaughn says, sticking with his stupidity.
“I know that!” I scream at him. “Oh my fucking God, Vaughn. I am his mate, your mate. Their mate. I have five goddamn mates. Five. One, two, three, four, five. Five motherfucking mates. Get it? Can you fucking count, Vaughn?”
“At least to five now,” he teases, making me frown at him.
“You don’t get to stand over there and joke with me,” I scold him. “You don’t get to make yourself unhappy for any reason. What do you want? You, Vaughn. What do you want?”
“I want you,” he says carefully.
“Then for the love of all that is unholy, fucking do something about…”
