“Bring those pretty lips over here,” Hunter says, surprising me. I open my eyes, finding him still kneeling right beside me, his cock aimed right at my lips. When I feel for his emotions, his arousal is so potent that it encourages me to open my mouth and press forward as he surges in.

I groan, the arousal of them fueling my own even more. Hunter grips my head, holding me still as he starts thrusting into my mouth.

Suddenly, I’m utterly aware that I’m being filled by three of my mates at once, and it’s enough to push me to the edge.

“I’m coming!” I gasp through the bond as my body starts to shake. My limbs turn to spaghetti, and lightning shoots through me. Luckily, multiple sets of strong arms hold me up, then I feel Maddox and Chase coming inside me at the same time, prolonging my own orgasm.

Hunter starts to pull back, but I manage to throw a hand up, grabbing his ass and holding him to me just in time, as in the next moment, he’s filling my mouth with his release. I swallow eagerly, finding the taste entirely Hunter.

I’m not entirely sure what happens next, because an extreme wave of exhaustion rolls through me. I can feel the contentment and happiness coming from my four bonded mates as I’m pulled against someone's chest. I inhale, smelling cedar and leather with a hint of ash. Maddox.

Strong arms hold me tightly. Several hands grip my skin, telling me they’re all touching me right now, and knowing they’re all here and happy has me falling into a deep sleep.

The last thought that hits me before I fall asleep is how there’s just one more bond to go before my pack is complete.

Chapter 20

With my right hand, I scroll through the webpage, reading yet another article on the mysterious phoenix. They are so rare and thought to be entirely mythical, so it’s hard to know what information is real and what’s been fabricated.

The one thing that is extremely unclear is how to kill them. Which bothers me for multiple reasons. First off, I have no idea how to keep Cherry safe if I don’t know what can kill her, and secondly, I need to know how to kill Blaze.

Since we know he resurrected at the facility, it’s safe to assume that what he told Cherry was true, that he has been infused with some of her power. Which is why I’m currently researching phoenixes, trying to find a way to kill them. It’s unclear if beheading them and burning the head will actually work.

I glance down where my left hand is gently stroking her soft, red hair, pushing it back so I can see her beautiful face. She snuggles closer into my side, and I sigh, loving having her this close.

When we woke up this morning, I grabbed my laptop and brought it back to the room to continue my research. Once the others had woken up, they slowly left until it was only Maddox and me here with Cherry.

I moved to sit against the headboard on the other side of her, and when she rolled over, hugging my hip, Maddox just smirked and left the room.

I let my hand trail down her arm as I try to push down the anxiety I’ve been feeling from the lack of bond. Even though I know it will snap back in place as soon as I knot and bite her again, there is still that nagging worry of what if it doesn’t work.

Cherry rubs her face against my bare thigh, and my dick twitches at her closeness. I took off my boxers when Maddox was sealing the bond with her, eager for my chance, but when I saw the exhaustion on her face, I knew it wasn’t going to happen last night. And that’s fine.

It will happen when it happens.

I let out a hiss of surprise when Cherry’s soft little fingers suddenly grab my cock.

“Good morning,” she whispers.

“Uh huh,” I say, pulling the blanket down so I can see what she’s doing. She tilts her head and inspects my cock, making me ask, “What are you looking at?”

“Just making sure your cherry tattoo is still here.”

A small laugh escapes me. “Think it was a rub on or something?”

She shrugs. “Something like that.”

I slam my laptop shut and toss it to the end of the bed before grabbing her armpits and dragging her across my lap so she’s straddling me.

She slaps a hand over her mouth, and I cock an eyebrow at her. “What’s wrong?”

“I haven’t brushed my teeth yet.”

“I don’t mind. I love your scent,” I reassure her as I try to pull her hand away, but she shakes her head. I release her and nod toward the bathroom as my eyes trail down her naked body. “Go on then. But be quick.”

She nods eagerly and crawls out of my lap. I give her ass a little slap, making her squeak in surprise, which makes me grin.
