“We had a few details added to it especially for you.” He winked and left us without another word.
“What does he mean,added? These are centuries-old jewels. What can you add?” Moira inspected the necklace and let out a little gasp.
It didn’t take me long to figure out what set her off. Nestled within the various swirls of thorns that acted as links were three new gleaming additions that somehow looked as though they’d been there all along. A crescent moon, a cluster of stars, and a gorgeous snowflake. Symbols to represent my other mates. Noah, of course, was still represented by the rose that hung in the center.
“Okay, fine. It’s better than mine,” Moira muttered, adding under her breath, “Why didn’t you think of that, Belladonna? You call yourself a witch.”
She draped the jewelry across my throat and helped me do the clasp before letting my hair fall back down in a waterfall of loose curls. It was the missing piece to my ensemble, completing my look by addingthemto it.
“You ready to get this show on the road, babycakes?”
I rested my fingers over the rose pendant, smiling at myself in the mirror. “So ready.”
Moira slapped my ass. “All right, then. Sunday Amadeus Fallon, let’s go get you mated. Again.”
I’d like to say I remembered every moment of the ceremony, but once I saw them all standing at the other end of the aisle, I couldn’t focus on anything else. Except, of course, for our sweet Eden, who was nestled in Kingston’s arms, her dress the same color as mine.
They knew how to clean up for their mate, that was for sure. Kingston, Noah, and Caleb all wore black suits. Caleb’s was the simplest—and in my opinion, sadly lacking a white collar. Kingston’s, of course, was the flashiest, with its velvet patterned lapels. Noah was every inch the British aristocrat with his perfectly tailored suit and matching pocket square. And then there was my Alek. He’d opted for something more traditionally Novasgardian and stood in the center of them wearing a mouthwatering set of leather pants, a simple white shirt, and a beautiful fur cloak. He’d also taken the time to braid and twist his hair. I was ready to climb him like a tree.
But it wasn’t really how gorgeous they were that got me. It was the looks of absolute love in their eyes. We exchanged perfect words, made eternal promises, devoted ourselves, but I couldn’t stop thinking about what came next. The real thing. The marks. The moments we’d take just for us with no one else around.
I’d taken Eden from Kingston as soon as we’d finished, knowing that I was going to have to say goodbye to her for the first time since the day she’d been born. As much as I wanted—needed—my alone time with them, I was anxious about being away from her. We’d fought so hard to have this, to have her. It seemed too soon to leave her with Diana, even if it was only a few days. But I also knew there was no one more suited to take care of her than Kingston’s mother.
“I love you, sweet girl. We will be home soon.” I nuzzled Eden, and each of her daddies took their turn kissing her before I handed her off to my new mother-in-law.
“Don’t worry about a thing. Eden and I are going to have a great time together. I promise.” Diana held her close, and the love shining in her eyes eased something in me. “Now go on. You five deserve some time to celebrate after everything you’ve gone through to get to this point.”
I knew she was right. It was time. I stole one last kiss from my daughter and sought out Moira in the crowd. She and Ash were dancing and laughing and so much in love it made my heart squeeze. Everyone I loved was right here. Safe. Happy. Carefree. It was such a difference from where we’d been a few months ago.
Diana was right. We’d earned this.
Turning back, I looked at each of my men, my smile growing wicked and distinctlynotdemure.
“Are you ready to get out of here?” I asked them.
“Aye,a stor. I’ve been waiting to truly make you mine since the day you first set foot in my office.”
Kingston snorted. “Creep.”
I couldn’t contain my laughter. “Let’s go, then.”
“The car is waiting. But if you need time to say goodbye...” Noah’s gaze trailed to where Diana and Dylan were playing with Eden.
Alek scooped me up, throwing me over his shoulder in a fireman’s carry. “Fuck that.” His large palm gave my ass a rough squeeze. “No more waiting.”
The squeal of surprise that left me would have been embarrassing if not for the benefits of my position. Namely, the fantastic view of his butt in those leather pants.
He put me down as soon as we reached the car, Noah holding open the door like the gentleman he was.
Caleb climbed in the limo first, while Alek set me down and got in after him. Noah took one look at Kingston, kissed my cheek, and went in next.
Kingston moved in close, resting one hand on top of the door and the other on the top of the car, caging me in. “I hope you’re ready, Sunshine. I’m up first. I saw the way you looked at Eden. Don’t worry, I know what you want.”
“You do?” I asked, more than a little breathless, my heart already racing in anticipation. No one had let me in on their plans forhowthey were going to re-do their marks. Only that it would be intimate and the details handled completely by each of them. But if Kingston’s low growl was any sign, I was going to enjoy the surprise.
He chuckled, but the sound was filled with dark promise. “Fuck, yes. You want my knot. But not as much as you want me to put another baby in you. And I’m gonna give you both. I’m going to give you everything.”
I swallowed, the flood of arousal hitting me all at once. Oh, shit. I was so fucking wet already.
