“Damn.”

I roll away and lie beside her, gather her close to me. “Yes. Damn.”

She smiles and brushes her hand over my chest, then presses a kiss against my nipple and I breathe in as pleasure skitters over me. I pull her up for another kiss and when we part, she smiles.

I’ve never been so happy.

“I, uh, am supposed to have sex with Onyx and Dusk now? Afterthat?" She sounds incredulous.

I laugh. "You'll grow used to us and our appetite. Before too long, you'll be the one demanding we meet your needs. I swear it."

"And I believe it," she grumbles, but she does so with a satisfied smile.

ELEVEN

Ann

Onyx,Dusk, and Rayne have come back. I stretch languidly beside Phantom, wrapped in his blankets, feeling both comfortable and oddly vulnerable. At least until I see the look of raw desire on their faces when they stare at Phantom and I. Even Rayne's expression is one of need versus anger or jealousy, which is oddly reassuring. If he can handle seeing me like this in Phantom's arms, he can probably handle just about anything.

"Finished?" Dusk asks, and there's arousal in his voice.

My gaze runs over him, feeling oddly sexually alive. Dusk might be the younger brother to Phantom, he might be a little smaller, a little less muscular, but he has a different kind of attraction. It's like being asked to choose between donuts and ice cream. Sometimes you want one. Sometimes you want the other. But still, other times, well, you just might want to gorge yourself on both. And right now, freshly satisfied from Phantom, I would have never thought I could handle more, but apparently, my body has other ideas. Ideas about comparing Dusk and Phantom in ways I've never compared before.

If I was a cat, I'd be purring as I take the big shadow beast in. Dusk's hair isn't tied back the way it usually is. Instead, it's been left long, flowing about his face, flowing onto his shoulders. He looks beautiful in a way most men aren't. It softens the tough warrior a bit, in a way I absolutely love. And those pale blue eyes of his are burning with desire under his dark lashes.

I lick my lips, trying to find the words to tell him how I feel.

And then Onyx signs, "Regrets?" There's more to his signs, but that's what I manage to pick out with his fast-moving hands.

My gaze lingers on him as another wave of desire flows through me. It's clear Onyx isn't their brother in blood. Not just because of the fact that his hair is blond and his eyes are a brown so deep they almost look black. It's something in the lines of his face. They're somehow harsher. I think Phantom and Dusk could be models in the human world, or bodybuilders who model. But Phantom? I'm pretty sure no matter how he dressed or where he was, he'd be the kind of man people rushed away from. A man people feared. Almost like a god among humans. He just radiates a dangerous energy, one that I've realized is mostly a façade. But a part of me wants to see this powerful warrior in my fae world. Part of me can imagine taking these men back to my home and having them at my side while I rule my lands.

"Say something," Rayne says, followed by an uncomfortable laugh.

I realize they're all staring at me, and I try to find my words. "It was good."

"Good." Phantom runs his hand down my arm. "We can do better than good."

Rayne's gaze follows Phantom's touch, and again, my horny mind focuses on him. He's shorter and smaller than all three of the others, even in Adrik's big body. He still has that bodybuilder/warrior physique that seems reserved for the shadow beasts. But I still don't think he could go anywhere in the human world without getting more than a few looks and a lot of women checking him out. However, he appears more... human than the others. Less... too big for this world. The short hair helps though, drawing attention to his high cheekbones and giving him a less wild appearance.

The beauty of them is enough for my stomach to clench with need. But knowing they want me, knowing I’m with them and they belong to me, fills me with raw power. It's like I'm having my cake and eating it too. Well, cake, donuts, ice cream, and pie. Yum. Each of them looks more than a little appetizing, and it's almost overwhelming to know they're all mine.

But again, my treacherous mind pictures not just what it'd be like to taste all of them individually, but, well, what if I put all these delicacies together? I start to imagine it, and then it's the only thing I can think about.

I want all of them. Together.Now. “Can we…does the mating have to occur separately?”

Dusk looks at Onyx, who stares at Phantom, and I glance at Rayne. His eyebrows are raised like he doesn’t expect to be a part of this, but I beckon to him, and Rayne slowly moves across the cave to stand in front of me. And I'm glad he's so willing to consider something that sounds a bit crazy when I say it out loud. But this is for all of us, not just my shadow beasts.

"Coming over?" I ask Onyx and Dusk, trying not to sound as excited by this as I am. But I fail miserably.

Onyx and Dusk cross the cave so fast that I check to see if anything is chasing them. Then, they grab a few more blankets and lay them around us, their movements fast and jerky, their breath coming in and out so fast I almost believe they were just running. Rayne throws another log on the fire, and then we're all close to each other, tension in the air.

Rayne falls to his knees beside me. We stare at each other for a long moment before he leans in and kisses me. It's gentle. Not possessive. Almost... happy. When he pulls back, his lips part and he inhales slow and deep. “Ann.”

I stroke his cheek, kiss him again, and then pull back. His eyes hold mine, and he smiles. Actually smiles. And my heart skips a beat. He really is okay with this. I don't know how he is, but he is. I mouth the words, "thank you," then turn to my other men and kiss each of them too.

Our kiss feels strangely like a promise. An agreement. Like whatever happens from here on out, it's us together. And I couldn't have asked for more.

But when we're done, I'm left staring at them. Wondering what to do next. I hope to hell they don't think I'm going to be taking the lead, because I don't know what I'm doing.
