A flick of my fingers lit the rune with power, the bubbling tension in my chest loosening its hold on me as a large crack ran across the wall to form the doorway.

“Uh…”

My frown echoed Noah’s confused murmur as we watched the door swing open and were met with more darkness.

“Is it blocked?” Zeke asked as he stepped up behind us, but Liam shook his head and headed through the archway.

“Come on.”

Stepping through behind him, it quickly became clear why we hadn’t been met by daylight. A shimmering light flickered over slick, rock walls either side of us as my ears caught the steady drumming sound of tumbling water ahead.

“Is that?” I asked softly.

Liam grinned as he stopped at the end of the passageway and turned back to face me.

“Waterfall,” he answered, stepping back into the spray and disappearing.

I gasped and jumped forwards, reaching for him instinctively. Zeke chuckled behind me, tugging me back from the falling torrent until I fell against his chest.

Noah darted around us with a smirk, waggling his brows at me before leaping through the heavy curtain of water. I huffed loudly, my concern dropping as I felt through the bonds that they were safe.

“Idiots,” I mumbled, feeling Zeke’s chest shake against my shoulders as he laughed.

“Ready to get wet, baby girl?” he rumbled in my ear, sending a welcome shiver across my skin as I let him guide me forwards.

I didn’t hesitate to step through the shimmering sheet that covered the entrance to the passage, trusting him without a doubt to steer me safely through. Frigid water drenched me, sending goosebumps racing over my skin and leaving me gasping in a shocked breath as I stepped out into the sunshine. My foot landed on a flat, wide rock, the bright light forcing me to squint a little as I spotted a trail of natural steppingstones leading to the bank of the wide pool.

Liam grinned at me from where he stood on the lush grass, Noah leaping the last gap with ease to join him.

“It’s definitely a good hiding spot for a doorway,” Zeke said, shaking droplets of water from his head as he pressed up behind me.

I nodded and picked my way over the small, flat stones to the water’s edge. Glancing around, I took in the jagged, mossy rockface that rose up from where we had come, a thin waterfall bringing the small river plummeting into the rippling pool below. Away to our left, the pool narrowed before gently tumbling down again and flowing lazily away to the south, the trees guarding its banks bowing low in places to meet the gentle currents.

Birdsong sounded from the treetops, filtering down to the calm glade of wildflowers that I now stood dripping on, grateful for the warmth of the late-afternoon sun as the last of its rays made it past the forest canopy. The warmth around us hinted at the summer that was rapidly approaching, and the contrast of this place with the tunnels far below sent a welcome sense of relief spiralling through me as my tense muscles finally began to relax.

Turning back to the others, I found them shaking the water from our supplies and quietly debating our next moves. Ignoring their words, I let my eyes track over them, drinking in the way their wet clothes clung to every groove and dip of their hard bodies. A spark of desire fired through me as I stood silently watching them, the tension leaking out of me being steadily replaced by a warm hum low in my belly. The fear of losing them, of the dream that had been all too real, made my need to be near them stronger than ever. I needed to lose myself in their touch, their scents, our connection. I needed to see them fall apart as I showed them how much they meant to me.

Swallowing hard, my breathing picked up as my thighs squeezed together, trying to relieve the throbbing sensation that was steadily building in my core. I sucked in a shaky breath at the strength of the arousal suddenly pulsing through me, my nipples pebbling against my sodden shirt and my hands clenching into fists as everything in me tightened demandingly.

As if hearing my silent call, Zeke’s head snapped around to mine, his eyes tracking over me with a sudden laser focus. A small smirk played at the corner of his mouth as he took me in, lifting a hand to slowly run over his jaw before pulling the others from their oblivious conversation.

“Boys, I think our mate needs something.”

The gravel in his voice sent a shudder rolling through me, an unsteady breath falling from my lips as Liam and Noah’s eyes shot to me. Their initial surprise quickly melted into an intense, searing desire, slamming down our bonds and stoking my own need until I felt ready to combust into a ball of flames. A thrill shot through me as their eyes flashed wolf, but as they stayed frozen, watching me like prey, a sense of desperation welled up in my chest.

“Please…”

My whispered plea was barely audible, but the effect was like pulling a trigger.

Stalking towards me like the predators they were, my mates leapt into action. Zeke’s hands wound around my damp hair, twisting it into a thick rope and tugging my head back so that he could claim my lips. His hot mouth delved, licked and bit at mine, consuming me and leaving me gasping for breath as I distantly acknowledged the feeling of strong, steady hands either side of me stripping away my wet clothes.

Pulling back, Zeke’s emerald green eyes shimmered with heat as he stared down at me, his grip releasing me abruptly and leaving me swaying a little as the three of them pushed in closer around me. The heat of their gazes was almost palpable as they took me in, something about the fact that I was fully bare before them when they remained fully clothed making my desire burn impossibly hotter.

I didn’t stay patient for long though, frustration humming through my veins when no one made a move to touch me again.

“Are you just going to stand there?” I sassed, my voice raspy. “Because if your hands aren’t on me soon, I’m going to finish the job mys...”

My words turned into a squeak as Liam grabbed my hips and spun me, pulling me until my back pressed against his chest. I gasped as he yanked on my hips, grinding my ass into the hard lines of his cock and sinking his teeth into the skin of my shoulder, making me groan low in my throat. Noah swore softly and stepped in front of me, claiming my attention as he wrapped a hand around my throat and tilted my face up, crushing his mouth to mine. Liam’s hands smoothed up the curve of my waist as Noah gave me a blistering kiss, rough hands palming and kneading my breasts as I squirmed desperately between them.
