Lusca made a muffled sound that might have been a cough, or a laugh.

“A painful task,” Skadi mused aloud. “A sacrifice?” He was quiet for a moment as I stroked his face and tried to hide the pain that was stealing through my veins again.

A gust of wind swept over the top of the ice nest, and his gaze rose to the sky. The waxing moon hung at the top of the largest spire, an enormous milky pearl suspended there. For a long moment, it seemed like the world stopped. Silver bells chimed, and the moon glowed with a golden nimbus. Even the snow stopped mid-air.

Then it began again. Skadi’s head tilted to one side as he examined me. “I never imagined I would be the unworthy one. I cannot allow it to be true.” His lips curled. “Brother, I will make a sacrifice. I will share her.” His smile faded. “I will share her with all her mates.”

My chest ached beneath the nautilus shell, but Lusca hummed again and replied, “I am honored to be the first to share our mate with you, brother.”

“Yes, you are,” Skadi agreed.

I couldn’t speak. The pain had intensified, and I wept silently as I fought not to scream.

“Soon.” Lusca kissed the side of my head, then shifted beneath me so that his hips were squared with my ass. Something that could have been a tentacle moved his cock from my back so that it was now next to my entrance.

He hissed as he pressed inside me, though I wasn’t sure if it was a sound of pain or pleasure. Maybe both. He filled me, his cock slightly cool in my overheated channel, his hands gripping me from behind. It felt exquisite, but not as full as before.

“Skadi, now,” he muttered against my hair.

I realized when Skadi lowered himself back over me, his face inches from mine, what they intended. Skadi’s cock pressed against the top of my entrance, sliding alongside Lusca’s as he withdrew almost his entire length.

“That’s not… possible?” I squeaked, as a small tornado of ice-cold wind swirled around my clit. I wasn’t sure if it was the small vortex of cold air, the thought of both my mates’ cocks sliding into me at once, or the dark chuckles that emerged from both their throats at my words, but another climax began to build faster than it should.

“Deep breath, Rada,” Lusca murmured in my ear. Their cocks shifted somehow, though I was too busy breathing, or possibly hyperventilating, to ask what they’d done.

Shifting mates, idiot, my inner voice supplied. Their cocks can change size, shape, get smaller to fit in at the same time, even swell up once they’re inside.

Fuck. Now my inner voice was chuckling along with them.

“Now, let it out slowly,” Skadi murmured, his tail sweeping up beside my face, pushing strands of hair away, then gently coming to rest around my throat. He squeezed just the right amount, smiling wickedly down into my eyes.

Lusca’s tentacles moved so that his cock slid far too slowly into me. Skadi’s did, too, the head of his giving a perfect stretch, a feeling I hadn’t known I needed. “You’re taking us both, beloved,” Lusca groaned as they pressed a bit more. They’d obviously narrowed their cocks to begin with, but as they thrust deeper, the wider bases began to stretch me.

“Can you take more?” Skadi wondered aloud, though he was already moving deeper. “Can you take all of me? All of him? You’re so wet, little spy. I never knew melting could feel so good.” They were both at least halfway inside me when the air moved faster on my clit, and my vision began to go dark, small diamond stars shimmering behind my closed lids.

All I could focus on was how perfect they felt. How full I was. Until Lusca murmured, “Brother, let’s try something,” and they began to move in a new pattern.

Lusca pulled out almost to the tip at the same moment that Skadi thrust deeply, the first of his knots stopping at my entrance, just too wide to slide inside. Then they reversed their movements, Skadi’s cold length pulling out, while Lusca thrust deeper. My inner walls began to flutter and my ears began to ring as they fucked me faster, harder.

Thicker. Goddess, had they lost control of their forms?

Skadi groaned as he fucked deeply, the girth of his cock definitely more substantial than before. It ached. I wanted more of it, but was afraid to ask.

You never need to be afraid. Lusca’s voice was an embrace all on its own. I can feel you. I would never let you be harmed. You are enjoying this, aren’t you? You want more.

I whimpered a yes. He laughed and wrapped his hand on my waist, using his grip to slam his hips faster. His cock was warm, while Skadi’s was cold, and my core was drenched as I came again, screaming.

Lusca came as well, the air filling with the scent of salt and brine, filling me with a pleasant warmth.

I came back to myself with both of them still inside me, except Lusca was holding still. Skadi still moved, the cold intense and wonderful. His first knot slid in and out, popping out with each gentle thrust. I craned my neck to see and shuddered. He hadn’t lost control of his size entirely. His body was no larger, but his cock was now as thick as both had been before, and the first knot was the size of a small orange.

The second was larger. I wanted it inside me. I was also afraid it wouldn’t fit.

“Let me knot you, little goddess,” Skadi purred in my ear. “Let me fill you with my power. Let me share my ice with you.” His tail tightened on my neck slightly, in a comforting hold. His hands gripped my hips in a tighter one, like he was on the edge of losing control. His eyes blazed blue fire as he thrust harder, the second knot trying to slide past my tight entrance. “Take me, Omega. Please. Take all I am.”

I widened my thighs, needing him. He swiveled his hips, trying to change the angle and fit the impossibly huge swelling into me. It burned. It froze. Yet I needed it more than breath.

“Skadi, it’s too big,” Lusca cautioned him.
