Page 84 of Mated to the Vikings

I couldn’t help but chuckle. “I think she needs a lesson in who her masters are.”

“She already had one harsh lesson,” David said quietly. As we looked in his direction, he shrugged his shoulders. “Well, she needed discipline.”

Bursting into laughter, I raised my glass to the others. We’d bonded in a short period of time. Not because of the horrors we’d shared and certainly not because one day we would face a battle together. We bonded because of one incredible, disobedient, and insanely gorgeous human. I caught myself and the thoughts. I no longer considered myself human, but I wasn’t Galerian either. I flexed the fingers on my other hand, turning it back and forth. I had no idea what I was, but I hoped that at some point that would no longer matter.

I certainly knew who I was.

Alpha.

Master.

Owner.

The thought was astounding.

I positioned the two boxes on the table, spinning the smaller one several times while Brexin and David looked on, more amused than anything.

“I will never understand this custom,” Brexin finally said, leaning forward and swirling the drink in his hand.

“Because you’re not human,” David chided, winking at me from the other side of the table.

“This is our way of acknowledging our commitment.” I offered the words, a slight stab in my heart a reminder of what I’d lost, certain to never experience again. The visions had finally become clear, reliving the agony paralyzing. I prayed time would heal the significant wound.

“That’s what the mating was for,” Brexin insisted.

David groaned his response. “And the second box?”

“A hefty ass plug.” Brexin seemed amused at David’s surprise. “We are a bit kinky in our world.”

“I need a drink,” David whispered, grinning as he lifted his glass.

“And I think I need to retrieve our little human.” My husky voice permeated the room, even over the crackling fire. I took another gulp of my drink, pounded it onto the table, and headed toward the bedroom. I was only three feet away when the door cracked open. I’d seen my lovely mate dressed as a warrior, a scientist, and a queen. This time, I was seeing the woman I loved.

She stood in a shimmering translucent dress and nothing underneath, the gorgeous frock accentuating her hourglass figure, her rounded nipples pushing against the thin fabric. I was breathless, my cock throbbing to the point of blinding anguish. Hunger had festered inside of me with thoughts of taking her and now, I wanted nothing more than to devour her.

Cassia seemed to glide toward me, her eyes locked on mine. Her long hair flowed across her shoulders as she walked and even her skin shimmered in the light of the fire. As she approached, she pursed her lips before taking my face into her hands. “My master.”

“You’re learning.” My voice was huskier than normal, fueling the embers sizzling my every cell.

“I’m certain you’ll teach me more,” she mused, rising on her tiptoes to press her lips against mine.

I dragged her closer until her breasts were crushed against my chest, a low rumble sliding from my lips from the scent of her. She was all woman, her desire wafting between us. I held her head, intertwining my fingers in her silky strands and sliding my tongue inside. The taste of her was even sweeter than normal, a hint of her previous drink saturating my tongue. I dragged her backwards as the kiss continued, the rumble in my loins moving to a roar.

The others stood, moving beside us, their hands caressing her soft skin.

She mewled into the kiss as she arched her back, her fingers clutching my shirt and her hips undulating back and forth. She knew exactly what she was doing, driving me to the point of madness. I already had difficulty focusing, my heart racing. The electricity shared was off the charts, running a jagged course through my entire body.

Breaking the kiss, I fisted her hair, tugging her head until I was able to nip the underside of her chin, my teeth pressing savagely against her skin.

“Oh!” Her single moan was breathless, her body quivering. She allowed her arms to fall, trusting me to hold her.

She was a precious jewel, a wondrous creature who had no understanding of her power over us. While we were her masters, she was our joy, a beautiful creature to cherish.

But my needs would soon overpower the point of passion, forcing me to take her roughly, like the savage I’d become. I eased away, allowing Brexin and David a moment with her. I took several deep breaths as she was pulled from one to the other, their kisses almost as carnal as my own. I wasn’t the kind of man willing to wait, my patience level gone. I yanked off my shirt, jerking off my boots and pants and all the while, I had difficulty breathing.

They fondled her breasts through the fabric, rubbing and pinching her nipples until they were rock hard. Their kisses and licks moved from her mouth to her chin and down her neck to the luscious skin of her breasts.

Her eyes were closed, her body swaying, and I could see the light sheen covering her skin. She was truly perfect.
