“I’m not some fragile thing you both need to protect!” I shouted, pushing against their chests.
The moment my hands made contact, the golden cords between us flared to life. Magic surged through my fingertips, and I gasped as their power flooded into me—Sebastian’s dark and sharp, Gabriel’s warm and steady. The connection pulsed between us, amplifying my emotions and theirs until I could feel their frustration, their fear, and their desire. The fresh energy made me feel better, chasing away the cold.
Sebastian grabbed my wrist, his touch electric. “You have no idea what’s happening to you.”
“And you do?” I challenged, the magic making me bold. “You’re both so busy fighting about me that you can’t see I’m right here.”
Gabriel’s hand covered mine where it still pressed against his chest. “Eva—“
“I’m tired of being the reason you two argue,” I said, my voice softer now but no less intense. The magic was making it hard to think clearly, my desire for them both overwhelming my frustration. The golden cords pulsed brighter, feeding my emotions back to them.
Sebastian’s eyes darkened as he felt my desire through our bond. “You’re not just the reason we argue,” he said, his voice dropping to a husky whisper. “You’re the reason—”
He didn’t finish his sentence, but he didn’t need to. Just the fact that I was feeling any emotions from him showed what had changed. He was different not just because of his connection to me, but because of the other guys. He might not like them, but also with all of us around, he was no longer alone.
Gabriel’s hand tightened around mine, his warm magic flowing into me. “Eva,” he said again, but this time my name sounded like a prayer.
I pulled my hands away from their chests only to reach for them both. The towel fell to the floor, forgotten, as I grabbed Sebastian’s collar with one hand and Gabriel’s shirt with the other.
“Stop arguing,” I commanded, my voice stronger now. “If you want to make things better, just be with me.”
The magic between us surged, making the air crackle with electricity. Sebastian’s eyes flashed with fire as he closed the distance between us, his lips crashing against mine. His magic flowed into me like dark wine, heady and intoxicating. I pulledhim closer, my body arching against his as Gabriel’s hands found my waist.
I unbuttoned Sebastian’s shirt, pushing it over his shoulders and letting it fall to the floor. He helped me with the pants, then his hands gripped my bare ass, pulling me against him.
Sebastian broke the kiss, his breath hot against my neck. “You’re playing with fire,” he warned, but there was no real warning in his voice—only hunger.
“Then burn me,” I challenged, turning my head to find Gabriel’s lips.
The goblin’s kiss was different—slower, deeper, but no less passionate. His hands roamed my body, warming me from the inside out as his magic mingled with mine. At some point he’d lost his shirt, and I delighted in the feel of his warm chest pressing against me. The golden cord between us pulsed bright, creating a loop where I couldn’t quite tell which feelings were mine, and which feelings were his.
Sebastian moved behind me, his body pressed against my back. His hands slid around to cup my breasts, his thumbs brushing over my nipples. “So demanding,” he murmured against my ear, making me shiver. “What would you like us to do to you, dear Eva?” he whispered, his voice dark with promise.
I gasped as his fingers pinched my nipples, sending sharp waves of pleasure through me. Gabriel’s mouth moved from my lips to my neck, his tongue tracing a hot path downward. I gasped again as our magic intertwined in ways that made my head spin. I found the clasp on Gabriel’s pants, then pushed them down over his hips.
“Both of you,” I breathed, my voice barely audible. “I need both of you.”
Gabriel lifted me effortlessly, his strong arms carrying me to the bed. Sebastian followed, his eyes never leaving my body. Thetowel was long forgotten, leaving me completely bare between them.
“On your back,” Sebastian commanded, his voice rough with heat.
I complied, rolling onto my back as Gabriel’s hands stroked down my arms. Sebastian knelt before me, his hands spreading my thighs as he leaned between them.
I gasped as Sebastian’s fingers traced my entrance, his touch sending electric currents through my body. His magic flowed into me, dark and intense, mingling with Gabriel’s warm energy as the goblin propped me up to kiss his way down my spine.
“Eva,” Gabriel murmured against my skin, his large hands kneading my hips from behind, making me open wider for Sebastian.
Sebastian’s fingers slipped inside me, and I arched my back, pushing against him. “More,” I begged, my voice hoarse with need.
Sebastian withdrew his fingers, replacing them with his mouth. My hips bucked, but Gabriel dug his fingers into my flesh, holding me still while Sebastian’s tongue traced expert lines across my most sensitive areas.
I could feel him practically trembling with restraint, and I wiggled my hips further down the bed, inviting him toward me.
With an amused smirk, he stood, showing me that he was hard and ready. Just the sight of it made my body convulse again. He entered me slowly, stretching me as Gabriel cradled my back in his lap, letting me feel that he was just as ready as Sebastian was.
Sebastian pushed deeper, his hands gripping my hips.
Gabriel leaned down, capturing my mouth with his while Sebastian filled me completely. The dual sensation was overwhelming—Sebastian sliding into me, while Gabriel’s mouth and hands worshiped my body. The golden cordsbetween us pulsed with shared pleasure, amplifying every sensation until I could barely think.
