“Like this, mate?” he whispered.

“Yeah, mate,” she purred, reaching back and pulling him tight. “Just like that.”

Quasar sighed in sweet relief, finally accepting he’d done something right by our fourth, and then hauled a blanket up over all of us before his breathing fell into the relaxed rhythm of much needed rest.

Bearing silent witness to our burgeoning bond, the moon shone through the window like a loving goddess in all of her glory. I fell asleep with a tender smile on my lips, the tilt of them offering up a silent prayer of thanks to the stars.

Tess

Well, fuck. Waking up, tangled between my mates, felt damned fine. Fucking fantastic, in fact.

Something had shifted for me during the night–some crucial dam which had locked up my shattered heart, protected it since early childhood–had been shattered under my Drakon mates’ onslaught.

They were mine.

The purple skinned hotties in leather wereactuallymy fated mates.

And, waking up surrounded by them with another sunrise on the horizon, was something I could see myself doing every morning for the rest of my fucking life.

Quasar rolled towards Radon as I slipped out of the bed and entered my bathroom. Shucking off my clothes and tossing them at the hamper, I twisted the shower to hot and stepped in, not waiting for the frigid water to turn to scalding.

My mind was too worked up to be bothered with petty things like water temperature.

The number of impossible things which had happened in the last handful of days was staggering. It felt like I had tipped down the rabbit hole and been tossed into an alternate universe. One where my best friend was a witch of some kind, dragons were real, I’d been fucked by an incredibly dexterous prehensile tail, and I was fated to all three of the insanely sexy males still slumbering in my bed.

With a practiced flick on the knobs now that the heat had started to come through, I turned to face the spray, letting the hot water beat over my face as my mind ran circles. From one motorcycle club to two, from zero boyfriend prospects on the horizon, to three who were determined to make me theirs. Oh, and the sexy trio all loved to fuck one another, which was fucking hot.

A knock came from the other side of the door, and I instinctively covered my bits up with the shower curtain before poking my head out. “Yeah?”

“Just checking on you, little mate.” Radon’s voice was crystal clear through the door. “Eden and Cadmium are here looking for you.”

“Shit, I forgot about training.” In my haste to get moving, I turned so fast I nearly did a header out of the claw footed tub, grabbing onto the pipe that fed the shower head, and instantly regretted it. “Tell them I’ll be down in ten!” I huffed out a breath, letting my heart settle. “Ask Eden to start some coffee.”

“And food,” Radon added. “You have to eat, mate.”

I rolled my eyes and grabbed the bottle of my favorite shampoo, cracking the lid and taking in the scent of blood orange and mint. The room bloomed with the tangy scent as I scrubbed my hair, letting the suds trickle down my body. The head of the water relaxed those sore muscles that I hadn’t been using prior to my mates’ arrival, and cleared my head.

Shit was getting real. We hadn’t been tricked through the looking glass. This was my actual life spinning off into empty space now that it had been set free from the usual rules of gravity. Not that this new development made that much of a difference.

In truth, ever since my parents’ accident my life had gone from one dumpster fire to the next. This time, though, it had come with bonus alien cock and a fair few other nice additions. Human men could not hold a candle to the size or add-ons Quasar had so deftly demonstrated to me the night before.

The underside of each of their cocks had their own scale pattern. I’d only felt one, up close and personal, but I’d certainly seen all three. And, right up to the part where Quasar’s knot had freaked me the fuck out, I’d enjoyed the fuck out of bumping up against that extra texture.

Running a thick fistful of conditioner through my hair, I let my mind wander back to how Radon had soothed me when I’d been on the edge of falling into a panic attack. How all of them had rallied around me and Quasar, doing their best to diffuse the situation.

Rinsing the last of the conditioner out of my hair, I knew what I needed to do next. I needed to apologize to Quasar. I’d been the one to push things, after all. He had tried to explain, and I hadn’t listened, too wrapped up in the throbbing need inside of me to pay any attention to reason. Then, after I’d demanded his knot in the throes of passion, I’d panicked and been a complete asshole to him.

I toweled off my hair and wrapped the terry cloth around my waist, but when I got into my bedroom, the room was decidedly vacant of any and all dragons. I just shook my head and got dressed. Eden and Cadmium wanted us all to get the basics in self defense, plus some training on the Drakon weaponry now at our disposal.

Slipping into my leggings and a tanktop, I was ready to sweat. Last, my damp hair went up in a practical high tail, and I was out the door. The bounce in my step was unusual, but I decided I was going to go with it. Three snuggly and fuck-me gorgeous men in my bed, a few good orgasms, and the prospect of actually being able to keep my bar without crawling on hands and knees to beg for the bank to bail me out had absolutely helped.

“Took you long enough.” Eden was stuffing her face full of toast with nutella on it, crumbs raining down her top, while Cadmium, the beautiful dragon who had attached herself to my old school mate, just rolled her eyes, and held out a napkin. “Your mates have all scattered. Something about making sure the scribes had tightened the wards ready for tonight.”

“Tonight?” I cocked my head to the side, shocked that so much time had passed. “Full moon’s tomorrow.”

“Bzzzz, nope.” Eden reached for a plate full of eggs and tomatoes, but Cadmium deftly stole it from her. The mouthy witch slapped ineffectually at the fierce Drakon female. “Hey, get out of it. I’m eating for two!”
