Chapter14

Lia

After the talk with Aelfric and Rhoswen ended, it was late. Bayleon and Bastian followed me out of the room while Aidan went the opposite way to make a stop at the kitchen before retiring for the night. We passed others in the hallway, giving brief nods as we went.

Once behind the closed doors of my bedroom and away from prying ears, we could speak. I walked over to the window and peered out at the shimmering trees that glowed in the moonlight.

“If the sirens are here because of you, what do you think that means?” I asked, glancing at Bayleon and Bastian’s silhouettes in the window.

Bastian stepped away from the wall and paced the room. “I don’t know. Apparently, this Diawen created us. Why she would have a use for us now makes no sense.”

I chewed my lip, my mind racing with possible scenarios, only I couldn’t focus on just one, which meant I had no idea about anything.

Bayleon stepped forward with clenched fists, his gaze intense through his mask. “Not unless the sirens are afteryou.”

The air seemed to still around us as we stood in silent contemplation.

“Why would they be after me?” I wondered, furrowing my brows.

Bastian ran a hand through his closely cropped, whitish-blond locks and huffed. “Because you’reyou, Lia. You’re the queen of the Blossom Court now with magic that a million others would kill for. If Diawen only needed a drop of blood to turn someone into a Tyvar, imagine what a drop of your blood could do.”

Bayleon nodded solemnly in agreement, his expression grim. “The same thing goes for Aidan,” he said. “He’s a dragon king now—his blood is just as powerful as yours.”

My stomach coiled into tight knots but not out of fear—out of rage. Others had been coming after my family for years, trying to steal our power; I should have seen this coming. All I knew was that I was ready for the fight. I was prepared to take on anyone who stood in my way. I wanted the cure, no matter what it took.

Letting out an exhausted breath, I took off my shoes and sat back down on the soft mattress. The lush green grass floor felt comfortable against my feet, helping to soothe me. When I looked at Bayleon and Bastian, they seemed to be silently speaking to each other through their masks.

“What are you two thinking about?” I asked, studying their expressions as they stood in the shadows.

Bastian pushed away from the wall, releasing a sigh as he removed the mask covering his midnight-blue eyes. He knelt in front of me, and I gasped as I was met with a pair of intense, passionate eyes.

Then Bayleon took off his mask and stepped forward, tossing it carelessly across the room. “I believe we were thinking about you, my queen.”

I glanced back and forth between them. “And?”

Bastian intertwined his fingers with mine, and electricity shot through my veins. “And we don’t want to leave you tonight.”

My heart began to race faster than lightning, and I felt short of breath. “What are you saying?”

Bayleon began to unbutton his shirt with purposeful slowness, exposing his chiseled chest. “We’re saying we want to be with you. If you want both of us, then both of us you’ll have.”

My breathing quickened, my mind reeling from the thoughts of being with both of them. Bastian helped me up and turned me around, his fingers pulling at the ties of my dress.

“Just tell us what you want,” he said, his voice husky with want.

“I want to be with both of you,” I murmured.

Bastian chuckled as he pulled the dress from my shoulders, letting it fall to my waist. “That’s what we wanted to hear.”

Bayleon kissed his way down my neck, his hands lifting to my breasts. I moaned as I ran my fingers through his hair.

“Turn around and face us,” Bayleon growled.

Breathless, I did as he said and turned around. Bastian kept his eyes on mine as he lowered my gown the rest of the way to the floor, his fingers caressing my skin the whole way down. He nipped my bottom lip between his teeth when he stood back up.

“We want you to feel every touch, every caress, everything.”

His hand squeezed my ass as his thumb teased at my clit. His lips closed around my left nipple, and I cried out as pleasure rippled through me. Bayleon’s tongue darted out and swirled around my right nipple before sucking it into his mouth. I whimpered, my fingers tightening in their hair as my insides clenched with need.
