I nod, wondering where this is leading, and sensing that there’s more to his words than meets the eye.
He continues. “And, well, despite your betrothal to Vaughn, there’s something I need to tell you.” Lars takes a deep breath, and I can see a hint of vulnerability in his eyes. “I’ve always had feelings for you, Mahalia. Even when you were with Vaughn, I couldn’t help how I felt.”
My heart skips a beat as his confession sinks in. The world around me seems to blur for a moment, and I find myself at a loss for words. Kit and Maddox exchange knowing glances, before Kit smiles, ready to talk to me about his feelings in all of this.
“Mahalia,” Kit starts, his voice tinged with remorse. “There’s something I need to say. I’ve been carrying this burden for a long time, and it’s time I came clean.”
My heart quickens as I turn my attention to him, unsure of what to expect next. Kit takes a deep breath, his eyes locked with mine, and he continues, “Back in high school, I was awful to you. I bullied you, and I’ve regretted it ever since. But the truth is, I acted that way because I had feelings for you, even then. I don’t know if I was clear enough about that before.”
His words hit me like a tidal wave, and my mind races to process the unexpected confession. The memories of those difficult times resurface, and I can’t help but feel a surge of conflicting emotions.
Kit’s gaze remains steady as he speaks, his voice softening with sincerity. “Mahalia, over the years, my feelings for you have only grown stronger. I’m sure of it now. I’m in love with you, and I want to make amends for everything I’ve done.”
I swallow hard, my heart torn between the past and the present. The idea that Kit, the person who had caused me so much pain, might be in love with me now is both bewildering and overwhelming. I nod, but I’m not too sure what to do with that information yet.
The air in the clearing seems to grow thick with emotions as Kit’s confession hangs between us, and just when I think the surprises have reached their limit, Maddox steps forward. His usually confident demeanor is replaced by a vulnerability I’ve never seen in him before, and his words are filled with a sincerity that takes me by surprise.
“Mahalia,” Maddox begins, his voice tinged with uncertainty. “There’s something I need to admit, something I only recently realized. You see, all those times I was irritated by you, I didn’t understand what those feelings truly meant.”
I can’t help but furrow my brow, my curiosity piqued by his cryptic words. Maddox takes a deep breath, his gaze unwavering as he continues, “Being here in the forbidden forest with you, facing danger and uncertainty has changed everything for me. It’s brought my true feelings to the surface.” He pauses for a moment, and I can see the conflict within him. “Mahalia, I’m in love with you.”
I search his eyes, trying to find any hint of doubt or insincerity, but all I see is a raw, honest vulnerability. Maddox, the man who had always kept his emotions tightly guarded, has revealed a side of himself I never expected.
My mind races as I try to make sense of this revelation, and I can’t deny the flutter of warmth that stirs within me. It’s unexpected, but it’s also undeniably genuine.
Maddox’s revelation leaves me speechless, my mind spinning with the enormity of what he’s just suggested. The idea of being in a mating round with not just one, but four men I’ve come to care about deeply feels like a surreal twist in the story of my life. I never imagined I’d find myself in this situation, and it’s both exhilarating and overwhelming.
As I try to find the right words to respond, Maddox’s gaze remains steady, waiting patiently for my reaction. The sincerity in his eyes mirrors the genuine offer he’s presented.
“Mahalia,” he begins gently, “we’ve all talked about it while you were resting. We’ve faced the dangers of the Rift together, and it’s brought us closer in ways we never anticipated. The idea of forming a true mating bond, all of us together, it’s something we’re willing to explore if you are.”
As I contemplate the possibility of a reverse harem, a newfound sense of excitement and curiosity fills my heart. The forbidden forest has indeed reshaped my perspective on life and love, pushing me beyond the boundaries of my expectations. While it may not be the life I had envisioned, it’s a path that beckons with the promise of adventure, growth, and a unique kind of love.
My smile widens as I think about the bond I’ve formed with each of these extraordinary men. Vaughn, who has been a steadfast presence in my life, his love unwavering despite the twists and turns we’ve faced. Lars, whose fierce determination and protectiveness have saved me time and again, revealing a depth of emotion that transcends friendship. Kit, whose journey from a former tormentor to a potential partner showcases the power of change and growth. And Maddox, whose unexpected revelation has unveiled a passionate side I never anticipated. They all have an impact on me in different ways, and I like them all equally for the qualities to bring to me and my life.
I turn to Vaughn because he’s the man I was going to marry and he’s the one who confessed his feelings first. With this salve still tingling all over me, confidence flows through my veins as I walk closer to him. I hook my arms around the back of his neck, holding onto him as I whisper the words I never thought I would be able to let free. “I love you too, Vaughn. I always have done and I always will do. I never stopped.”
I crash my lips to his, kissing him, with all the passion I have felt since we first got here, and I pull him close to me. The sensation of this man’s body pressed up against me, while also knowing that the other guys are watching me, is the hottest thing I might have ever experienced in my life. The wet heat spreads between my thighs as I think about the possibility of us really being a mating round. Having these men in my life forever. Life has really thrown a curve ball at me, and I’m excited to see where it might lead. Vaughn wasn’t there when me, Lars, and Maddox hooked up in the middle of the forest. Nor was Kit, so I can’t wait to see what they might be able to bring to me and my life.
I spin around and smirk at Kit, wiggling my finger, drawing him towards me. I like the fact that that tension between me and this man has become something different, something new, something that absolutely thrills me to the core.
By the time my lips crash against his, I feel his eager fingers gripping onto my ass, holding me in place. There’s a possessiveness about him which makes me feel incredibly sexy. I like it a lot, I never thought I would, but I do. He spanks me a little, a bit like Lars did in the forest, and again I find my heart beating a little bit faster.
“I don’t want you to kiss my mouth,” Lars tells me with a smile as I come closer to him. “I want you to sit on my face.”
My God, he’s cheeky, isn’t he? Pushing the boundaries, but okay, I’m up for a bit of fun. I can do whatever this man wants me to do. I mean, all of this is pushing my boundaries, isn’t it? None of this is normal to me, but I trust these men with all of me, so I am willing to do everything and anything. I move closer to him, sliding my panties down as I go. Being looked at like I’m a sex goddess is boosting me with a confidence I didn’t know I could have. Lars doesn’t know my heart is hammering against my rib cage as he lies down on the floor beneath me, waiting for me. He can’t tell how breathless I am as I lower myself onto the wet heat of his tongue.
“Oh fuck,” I groan as I toss my head back, allowing my eyes to slide closed with bliss. “That feels so good.”
Lars devours me, holding onto my thighs as he massages my clit and drives me wild. But it’s hard for me to focus on what he’s doing to me, because Vaugh has taken a fist full of my hair and he’s pulling my head back so I can kiss him. There really is something to this pleasure, pain thing. How did everyone else know that I liked this, but not me? This is insane. I fucking love it. I fucking love it so much.
Maddox takes my face in his hands and he pulls me towards him. By the time he kisses me, I’m absolutely shocked by the iciness of his mouth. He’s usually so warm, the sensations are utterly stunning, I can hardly breathe. By the time the ice cube is passed on to me, I really do feel like I’ve lost my mind. But that ice cube seriously comes in handy when I take Maddox deep in my throat, deep to the back of my throat, covering him with this coldness. I do the same for Kit as well, which I can tell stuns him to the core. He doesn’t quite know how to handle it. It’s fun to be on this side of things, keeping him on his toes instead, especially as I’m still riding Lars, driving myself closer to the edge by the moment. My toes are starting to curl as the pleasure is fizzing inside of me, growing and blooming by the minute.
But just as I’m about to go crazy, just as I’m about to get the release that I so desperately need, everything whips away from me. Lars’s tongue goes, and Vaughn’s, Kit’s, and Maddox’s as well. It’s almost as if they silently communicated with one another, and they knew to pull away from me at the exact same moment, just to drive me crazy.
“What are you doing to me?” I groan as I collapse onto the floor, half in agony, half in ecstasy. “Oh my God. You’re driving me wild. I could scream.”
“Delayed pleasure is the best kind,” Vaughn murmurs as he kisses me once more, running his fingers along my cheek. “I think that’s something you will really enjoy. Trust me.”
