Chapter 26
Harmonia
Achill runs down my spine as I get comfortable, half asleep and half awake as I nestle into the heated body beneath me. My nose wrinkles when a breeze blows over my face, awakening me even further as I attempt to blink my eyes open.
Completely dazed, I open my eyes with a squint to find the bright blue sky looking back at me.
What the fuck?
Frowning even deeper, I lift up on my elbow, feeling the crunch of grass beneath my touch as I glance at my surroundings. I see the countryside view that greets me each morning, with the city off in the distance, and feel the breeze dancing over my skin once more.
It takes me a second to piece together why the Hell I would wake up outside, until I remember exactly what happened last night. Or more specifically, with whom it happened.
Pushing my hair back off my face, I glance down to find Alexi lying with his eyes closed, head tilted to the side as his chest softly rises and falls. My leg is still tossed over his thigh, with my hand resting on his abs as his arm remains tightly banded around my waist.
There’s a blanket over us that I don’t remember being placed there, but holy shit, I don’t remember much after climaxing around my sealed soul. The rest seems to fade to black. Like I was drunk on him, drunk on us, and it sent me into a sex induced coma.
I try to lift the blanket a little higher over me, since I’m still naked beneath it, as my mind races through the events of last night. My eyelashes flutter closed, letting the visual play against the back of my eyelids.
He was the demanding, growly, alpha asshole I knew he would be, and I loved every damn second of it. He was gentle yet firm, attentive yet strong, and all-consuming while making sure I was still present in the moment with him.
Three.
I have all three of my men sealed to me, and my damn heart has never felt so settled in my entire life.
That thought alone has my gaze drifting to my marked wrist, the tainted issue clouding what should be a happy and joyful time. But despite its presence, I still smile from ear to ear, feeling complete for the first time in my life.
Another thing niggling at my mind though, is the man asleep beside me. Last night he was a different man, or another side of the man I have loved forever. There were no walls between us, no barriers or underlying miscommunications stopping us from being our true selves, but I have no idea if that’s still going to be the case when he wakes.
“You’re thinking too hard.” The grumble comes from beside me, making my eyebrows rise as I look down at him in surprise.
He gives me a pointed look, even though his eyes are barely open, and I decide to be completely open and honest about my worries. If I want to see him vulnerable, I have to be vulnerable too, instead of putting on a hard exterior that makes me think I’m strong, but ultimately adds another barrier between us.
“You’re you, Alexi. It’s impossible to know how things will be today. Yesterday was just that: yesterday. Who you choose to be today is out of my control, and I’m trying to decide if I need to brace myself for impact.” My lips slam shut after rambling embarrassingly, my hand clenching on his abs as I move away, only for him to roll us over in one swift move.
With my back nestled into the grass beneath me, Alexi braces on his elbow and hovers over my body, his eyes aligning with mine as he stares deep into them. Slowly, as silence continues to descend over us, he lifts his hand to my cheek, cupping it gently while I stare up at him in surprise.
“I’m not a saint, H. I never claimed to be, and we both know I never will be, but yesterday was everything to me,” he states, his dark eyes swirling with a hint of white as his magic bubbles to the surface and I shiver beneath him. “I’m always going to choose to be the person deserving of you, but that doesn’t mean I’m not going to be an asshole on occasion.”
A grin spreads across my lips as I look up through my lashes at him. “Only on occasion?” I sass, making him roll his eyes at me, but he can’t hide the slight smirk tilting the corner of his lips in response.
“I mean, I could be an asshole now, or I could remind you what my cock feels like buried between—”
“That’s enough. You two are driving me insane and you’ve had her to yourself for long enough, Alexi.”
My heart gallops in my chest from Alexi’s sultry voice that was interrupted by the teasing tone in Talon’s. He may have put a temporary stay on Alexi’s offer, but it definitely hasn’t stopped my core clenching with desire.
Running my tongue over my bottom lip as Alexi continues to look down at me, I tilt my head back a little so I can see both Talon and Malik standing side by side at the open glass doors. Their arms are folded over the chests, their jaws set tight with a mixture of annoyed relief, but the glimmer in their eyes tells me they’re happy to see us like this.
“Fuck off, assholes,” Alexi says with a groan before tucking his face into the crook of my neck. That simple move alone has my back arching up off the ground and I feel him chuckle against my skin before placing a small kiss in his wake.
“Nope, sharing is caring and all that bullshit,” Malik grunts, clearly on team Talon, and despite the desire coursing through my veins for Alexi’s unfinished offer, I chuckle at them.
It’s uncontrollable and I feel a sense of lightness wash over me like never before. I bask in the carefree moment, still laughing when Alexi lifts his face from my neck to glance down at me with a shake of his head.
“You’re cute as fuck, H,” he mutters, pressing his lips against mine in a quick kiss before leaning back.
I watch in awe as he gets up, the blanket dropping from his body as he stands naked before me. The groans coming from Malik and Talon make me smile as I appreciate the view.
