He drew back and plunged in even deeper, sending a rush of bliss through my nerves. Aaron ducked back down to lave my clit. My body swayed with each of Marco’s thrusts, pressing my mound to Aaron’s mouth. He rocked with us, gripping my thigh, his tongue swirling over my nub until I was outright shaking with the risingpleasure.

“Look,” Marco murmured, leaning over me as he adjusted his angle. I moaned, bucking faster to meet his pace, chasing that peak of bliss I’d almost reached. At the same time, I lifted mygaze.

My reflection looked back at me, flushed and wild. I’d never seen my eyes so bright with emotion before. Emotion and power. I had one man groaning against my shoulder as his hips jerked to meet me, another devouring my sex from the outside. Aaron’s golden head didn’t miss a beat as he unzipped his jeans to stroke his cock in time with our love-making.

He nipped my clit, and Marco thrust even harder. Ecstasy swept through me. I shattered between them with a sharp cry, my hand dropping to squeeze Aaron’s shoulder. Marco’s breath shuddered against my skin as my pussy squeezed tight around his cock. He spilled himself into me. Aaron groaned at the same time, giving me one last swipe of his tongue as he spent himself in hishand.

I stayed there between my mates as the crash of pleasure ebbed, my legs shaking. Aaron let me hold onto him. He pressed a tender kiss to my inner thigh. Marco hummed happily as he softened inside me, and nuzzled myshoulder.

I looked at the wild, sated woman in the mirror—a woman who had claimed her four mates. A woman who’d overcome rogues and fae. Yes, that was who I was now. The tragedies of years ago didn’t matter, not when it came to fulfilling myrole.

I wasn’t that little girl anymore. I was a woman. I was the dragon shifter. And Iwouldunearth whatever secrets my estate was keepinghidden.

Chapter 13

Ren

A coupleof West’s kin had already gotten to work in the kitchens, which was a good thing. None of us had eaten anything resembling lunch, just a few snacks that’d been stashed on the plane. Feeling a lot more grounded than I had when I’d first walked into the house, I ambled into the dining area, found a platter of stuffed rolls ready and waiting, and grabbed one to chow down on while I wanderedfarther.

My memories hadn’t faded completely. Now and then my eyes twitched to a doorway a rogue had left from, a spot where I’d heard an agonized cry. But my mind didn’t spin off into the past like it had before. I focused on the firm floor behind my feet and the heady warmth of the bonds between my mates and me. It seemed to have grown even more solid during that interlude with Marco andAaron.

The strength in this body and the strength of those bonds held me here in the present. I had so much more to do here. Maybe a victory against the vampires wouldn’t make up for what had happened in the past, but I could hope that victory would send us toward a much brighterfuture.

The rooms in the east wing were all familiar. I’d spent most of my time in those when we’d been living here—when I wasn’t roaming around outside. When I entered the west side of the house, a prickle ran down myback.

Mom had taken me this way a couple times to show me something she was working on. But mostly we’d steered clear. It had been her domain as the ruling dragonshifter.

I swallowed the rest of the sandwich and treaded farther down that hall.Iwas the ruling dragon shifternow.

I wasn’t expecting to hear a patter of footsteps coming toward me. Kylie hustled around a bend, her face lighting up when she saw me. “Ren!” She twisted her hands in front of her with a slightly guilty expression. “I know you’re exploring this place on your own, but I couldn’t help being curious… I found a door like the one you described, the one from your vision. Do you want to, like, find it on your own or is it okay for me to showyou?”

Trust Kylie to have already scoped the whole placeout.

“It’s fine,” I said with a grin. “Lead theway.”

Whatever I found here, I didn’t know if I was meant to face it alone. I’d rather have my mates by my side. As Kylie beckoned me down the hall she’d emerged from, I focused on the warm pulse of the bond inside me. I knew where each of my alphas were, approximately. And I discovered, testing the feel of our connection, that I could give them all a tug.Comehere.

That was handy. I’d have to remember that trick. Nate had told me that eventually I’d be able to sense whenever he or the others were in pain, even across a long distance. Being able to give them a nudge in my direction must be part of that increasedawareness.

The hall Kylie had explored took us around to the back corner of the house. She stopped in front of the door. And it was The Door. They were all the same moss green, but this one had that circle of dimples just above my line of sight. And no handle, no knob. But just like in my vision, I knew, looking at it, I could open iteasily.

Heavier footsteps sounded down the hall. All four of my mates came into view. They must have caught up with each other on the wayover.

“This is it?” Aaron asked, inspecting the door as they joinedme.

I nodded. “I haven’t tried to open ityet.”

“Well, what are you waiting for, Sparks?” West said. His tone was more teasing than gruff. “This is what we came all this wayfor.”

Nate eased closer as if to offer his help, but I could feel down to my bones that this task was only mine. I drew in my breath and stepped up to the door. My hands rose as if summoned to rest on either side of the dimpledcircle.

A shiver of energy raced down my arms. A burning sensation crept up my throat, as if I were kindling dragon fire in my human form. I paused, and then exhaled in a steady stream against thecircle.

No fire burst from my lips, only a rush of air. But the door twitched and swung open, away from myhands.

On the other side, a straight, narrow staircase led down into a basement room. A soft glow crept into the space below as I watched. I hadn’t realized this house even had a basement. I stared at the staircase for a second, anticipation tingling over myskin.

“You’ve got this, princess,” Marcosaid.
