“Cassandra,” he gasped.“Yourmouth…so sweet…”
Cassie swallowed as much as she could, but there was somuch.Hotseed spilled over her tongue and lips, salty and thick and she tastedRavik’scaramel flavor mingling withSeverin’schocolate one.Sheswallowed fast, her hands still stroking them through it, while both males trembled under her touch and came together for her.
The moment she swallowed, heat flooded her body but it wasn’t fever this time—it was just warmth.Shekept swallowing, taking as much as possible and as she did, the glow in her arm flared one last time, bright enough to light the inside of her skin, and then it faded.Notcompletely, but dramatically—dimming to a pale golden shimmer so faint she could barely see it.
As the two of them finished coming,Cassieeased back, panting, and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.God, she couldn’t quite believe that she’d done that!Againshe felt like a porn star—or maybe just the main character in one of the spicy “why choose?”novels she loved.Butit seemed to have worked—she felt completely better now.
Well,almostcompletely better—there was still a little hunger buried deep inside, but she assumed it was just the virus going dormant for a while.Atleast, shehopedthat’s what it was doing.
For a moment, all three of them simply stared at each other.
Ravik’s hand was still in her hair andSeverin’sfingers were tangled with his friend’s.Theircocks were still pressed close together where she had held them.
“We shared…sharedCassie,”Ravikrumbled, looking at his friend.
“Yes…we did.”Severinnodded slowly.Helooked slightly stunned but also deeply moved, as though some secret door inside him had opened and he wasn’t sure what waited on the other side.
Ravik only nodded.
“Cassie feels better?”he asked, voice rough, as he looked back at her.
She looked down at her arm again.
“I think so,” she whispered.“Fornow.”
Severin reached for her wrist with a hand that wasn’t quite steady.
“MayI?”
She nodded and he examined the bite wound yet again, his brows drawing together as the scientist in him was struggling back to the surface.
“The reaction decreased,” he said.“Dramatically.Ineed bloodwork to confirm it, but?—”
“Of course you do,”Cassiesaid faintly.
His mouth twitched, but his eyes were still dark and shaken.
“ButIthink it helped,” he finished.
Cassie let out a shaky breath.
“Good.”
Ravik stroked her hair, his golden eyes moving from her toSeverinand back again.
“Good,” he echoed.
Cassie shifted back onto her heels, suddenly aware all over again that she was naked and kneeling in front of two half-dressedKindredwarriors who had just come in her mouth together.Hercheeks heated, but the shame she expected didn’t come—not really.
Because they weren’t looking at her like she was dirty or wrong—they were looking at her like she was precious.
Severin tucked himself away first, his movements precise but slightly unsteady.Ravikfollowed after a moment, though he kept glancing atSeverinas though trying to understand why the air between them had changed.
Cassie understood it, though.Maybenot all of it…maybe not theKindredrules and all the reasons this would matter later.Butshe knew that the two of them had crossed a line for her.
Not the final line—the three of them hadn’t hadBondingSex.Butsomething had happened—something all three of them were going to have to deal with sooner or later.
For now, though, her body was calm.Herbite wound had stopped pulsing.Atlast she felt peace and the three of them could sleep…or so she thought.
