Kage’s head snapped up. “Deal.” He looked down at me. “That is, if you’re ready, Regan?” He looked guilty. He glanced down at himself, at his hard erection. I followed his gaze.

“I …” I bit my lip. “I think I want that.”

“Are you sure?” he asked. He looked reluctant. “We don’t want to push you.” He glanced at Lysander. “This is moving faster than we thought it would.”

I eyed them both, curious. “It is?”

“Of course,” Lysander said quietly. “We never assumed anything. Things could have stayed the way they were.”

I wrinkled my nose. “Chaste forever?”

Kage laughed. “Not exactly chaste. We had each other.”

“Oh. Right.” I was quiet for a moment. “I want to be with you both that way. If you want me.”

Kage’s cock was inside me before I could finish the sentence. I gasped. He’d only slid half in, letting me feel him. “We’re both … rather large,” he said, ruefully.

“So was Blake,” I said bluntly. “But he never made me feel like … this.”

They looked at each other, then Kage smiled shyly at me. “That’s good. That’s the bond.”

Lysander’s breath was warm on my neck as he moved closer. “Can I … kiss you?”

I turned my head to face him. “Of course.” I suddenly felt shy, too. Our lips met carefully. I could taste myself on his tongue. He’d had my pussy in his mouth before we’d even kissed, and yet, there was something right about that. He’d possessed me. Now Kage would do the same.

But it went both ways. I slid my fingers through Lysander’s hair, feeling its silky smoothness. I traced a finger lightly over his cheekbones. “You’re so fucking beautiful,” I whispered, as Kage slid more fully inside me. “Both of you.”

Lysander looked back at me seriously. “Thank you.”

“And you’re … mine?” It was a question.

He kissed me lightly. “We’re yours.”

“Yours,” Kage growled. He thrust inside me, and I moaned. “Shit,” I heard him whisper. I looked up at him. His face was worried.

“You didn’t hurt me,” I quickly reassured him.

He ran a hand over his face. Was there anything hotter than Kage Tanaka, naked, with his cock inside me as he looked down at me with that worried expression? “Still, I want to be careful,” he mumbled. “I can do this gently or hard. Which do you want?”

“Both,” I admitted. “Can we do both?”

He half grimaced, half grinned. “I’ll try.”

And then Lysander’s lips were pressed to my neck. I felt his fangs sink into my tender skin. I closed my eyes. I suddenly wanted so much from these two men. I wanted them to taste me. I wanted to taste them. I wanted them to fuck me. But I really wanted them to fuck each other, too.

Was this the afterlife the temple taught us about? Had I died and gone into some upper realm? Because right now, here in this bed, with both of my mates … I felt like I’d died and floated up to heaven.

Chapter 51

MEDRA

We were walking again. On the one hand, it was a nice change from being at Bloodwing all the time. At least we were outdoors … sort of. On the other, I wished I’d packed another pair of shoes. I’d brought the most comfortable boots I owned, but after a few days of walking in them nonstop, I was starting to worry the soles were going to wear out.

We walked through a vast cavern. Ahead of us, the ground dipped and opened into a wide meadow that glowed in a soft palette of pastel colors. The air smelled sweet and fragrant, like crushed petals. Blake was walking just ahead of me. His sword was sheathed and strapped to his back. His broad, muscular shoulders looked amazing in the fitted black leather armor he wore. The shimmer of light high above our heads reflected off his pale hair, reminding me of a golden crown.

“Hold up, folks.” Kazmyn had been walking ahead of everyone. Now I saw he’d stopped at the edge of the field.

“What is it?” Blake asked, striding up to him.
