Similar to what my teeth now did to Novak’s lower lip.
Claiming, I realized.We wereclaimingeach other again.
But it wasn’t enough.
I needed more blood. More bites. More scratches. Morescent.
I inhaled again, losing myself to the bliss of the fragrance of mymates.
Auric slammed into me, his thumb finding my clit, and shooting me to the heavens in the next breath. I hadn’t realized I was on the cusp of madness until I saw the golden flecks of stars and a sensual set of violet eyes. Burning with intensity. Yearning.Need.
I swallowed, blinking as I came again without preamble, the orgasm dark and heady and stealing my vision for one blinding second.
Until it cleared and I saw Ketos in the sky, his gold-fringed wings winking like stars in the night. But it was his face that I couldn’t look away from, the agony of his features, the stark desire glowing in his bright irises.
Ketos, my mind whispered, nearly reaching for him.My third mate...
However, Novak’s teeth in my shoulder drew me back to the men inside me, my mates fucking me into oblivion and declaring me as theirs. And taking me under with a third mind-blowing orgasm that left me winded and unable to scream or speak, my purr finally subsiding, as Novak and Auric came undone around me.
I sighed, my body spent, but I couldn’t help peeking up into the sky again, curious about whether I’d truly seen Ketos or if I’d imagined him.
He was gone.
Yet his scent remained.
Ambrosia darkened by masculine arousal.
I stole another breath, allowing the cologne to claim me with the others.
Then succumbed to the sleep tugging at my spirit.
I was only vaguely aware of Auric and Novak taking me to bed, their strength a necessary anchor in this life that I never wanted to live without.
My mates.
My loves.
My heart...
CHAPTERELEVEN
KETOS
Fuck.
I blew out a breath, my lungs on fire from the intensity of what I’d just observed. When I’d heard Layla’s mating call, I’d been possessed by the instinct to find her. To take her. To claim what my soul considered to bemine.
Except she hadn’t been calling to me at all.
That purr had been for Novak and Auric.
I should have flown off when I’d realized the purpose, what had been about to happen, how they’d been about to claim her.
But I’d been too captivated to move.
And her purr…Gods, that purr…I’d been paralyzed by the sound and sensation rippling around me.
Then I’d been utterly enchanted by the sight of them taking her.
