“I will get some towels for you both,” Darius murmurs, and I grip his wrist as he turns to walk out. He stops, looking at me as I turn, pulling him toward the shower. His eyes move behind me to Kalen.

Kalen’s wet hand grips my hip as he tugs me to him. His skin is hard and warm against my back as he pulls me under the shower spray. He detaches the showerhead, and I shiver when the spray blasts through my hair as Kalen wets it.

Yet I stand, waiting to see what Darius will do when I let his hand go. Would he reject me, as he has since I’ve been here? Refuse me? Despite everything he has done in the past, I can’t deny I want him, crave him. Mates are soul bound, destined to collide, whether to strengthen or destroy one another. Even when they do everything to destroy each other, and their love is toxic, the bond will always pull them back together, and right now, I am sick of denying what the bond wants and denying what I want, even if it is just in this one moment.

“Would you like a written invitation, Darius? I don’t think she could be clearer unless she said it,” Kalen asks him as he hooks the showerhead back onto the wall.

Kalen grabs the soap, his arm wrapping around my waist as he lathers my skin with his hand holding the soap. Citrus and vanilla flood the room as the steam heats the place, making the mirror fog.

Darius turns and walks out, and I sigh.Invariably, one step forward and ten back with him. Turning in Kalen’s arms, he smiles down at me, dipping his face lower. His lips brush mine softly when heat moves across my back, seeping into me. I pull away from Kalen to see Darius step in behind me when I glance over my shoulder.

His hot skin brushes against mine as he closes the shower screen behind him. His hands move to my hips, and Kalen’s hands trail up along my ribs, softly caressing my sides when he turns me to face Darius.

Kalen’s hand moves to my breast, fondling it, and I lean back against him, only for Darius to take a step closer. His face is barely inches from mine as he watches Kalen’s hands exploring my body, touching and caressing. My eyes roam over Darius, and he gives me a smirk as he catches my roaming gaze. “Am I up to your standards?” he teases.

“I’ve seen better.” I shrug, unable to help myself from throwing his own words back at him. His eyes flash wickedly, yet his lips tug into a smile.

“Really?” he purrs, and I hum, watching him.

Darius steps a little closer. “I think you’re a liar.”

“Me?... Never,” I tease as I place my palm on Darius’ chest, the heat radiating from him hotter than the water above me. Darius looks down at my hand and steps closer.

“Liar,” he growls, and his lips smash against mine. His hand moves from my hip and goes to my hair as he pulls me closer, deepening the kiss. His lips devour mine, and I have to pull away for air.

ChapterSeven

As he steps closer, Darius’ lips move down my jaw to my neck and his entire body is flush against mine. I feel completely surrounded, enveloped by their warmth and power. Kalen’s erection digs into my lower back, and Darius grabs my hair in his hand, tugging at it and forcing my head back. His tongue flicks my earlobe, and my body shudders. He nibbles on it, teasing it with just enough pressure without being painful. I let out a deep moan as Kalen’s hand presses between Darius and me on my stomach.

Kalen’s fingers trail down between my legs until he cups my pussy with his hand, squeezing it, making me shiver as sparks rush straight to my clit. He moves slowly, making me want him even more as I fill with lust and anticipation. He gives me a seductive, hungry look as his fingers part my lower lips before shoving his finger inside me. My legs shake with the sudden intrusion as he slides his finger in as deep as possible, making Darius groan and pull away to look down at Kalen’s hand, teasing and playing with me.

“Gently, Kalen,” Darius instructs before putting his hand on Kalen’s, slowing his movements. Darius pulls Kalen’s hand gently, guiding his finger inside me. Both of them playing with me is almost too much to handle, and my arousal spills out of me, coating Kalen’s finger and hand as I writhe between them. I grip Darius’ arm, my legs trembling as he moves Kalen’s hand faster.

“Curl your finger upward,” Darius purrs, watching Kalen’s hand, and he does, making me cry out as his finger brushes some part I didn’t know existed. A breathy moan leaves my lips, and my eyes flutter closed in pure bliss.

“That’s it,” Darius murmurs, making my eyes open to find his eyes watching my face when I feel his finger slip inside me alongside Kalen’s. His finger is warmer and longer as he slides it in, matching Kalen’s rhythm and guiding Kalen to the same spot that makes warmth pool in my lower stomach and my body tingle.

My walls clamp down on their fingers, and Kalen’s arm tightens around my ribs, keeping me upright. My nails dig into Darius’ arm, earning me a growl when Darius’ lips swallow my moans as his and Kalen’s fingers move quicker. The feeling they are stirring up within me builds quickly, and Darius kisses the side of my mouth.

His tongue teases the seam of my lips. “Can I mark you?” he murmurs against my lips, making my eyes snap open when he asks for permission.

“You’re asking?” I say, a little shocked.

“Maybe I should have all along,” he whispers before his finger curls inside me, making me shake and cry out. He smirks. My face heats and my head rolls back against Kalen’s shoulder behind me.

“Is that a yes?” Darius growls, his teeth grazing my jaw and down my neck where all their marks lay.

“Yes,” I answer breathlessly.

His teeth sink into my neck over their marks, sending me over the edge. My moans resound loudly off the tiled walls. My inner walls clenches around their fingers as my pussy pulsates, my orgasm rippling over me, making my knees go out from under me.

Darius steps closer. Kalen bears all my weight on his arm that is securely wrapped around me, trapping me between them. Their fingers slow as I ride out the orgasm that washes over me in waves. At the same time, I feel Darius’ teeth smash through the barrier and merge with all their bonds.

His magic collides with mine, wanting to return to its owner. His cold power bleeds into my veins quickly, tangling and dominating mine, only for mine to fight back and morph and change his, turning his magic from ice cold to warm as it slivers through me strongly. Darius’ emotions crash into me like a tidal wave.

Shock and awe hit me immediately, followed by his longing. Only he now genuinely realizes what it means for me to be a Harmony-Fae. Both light and dark coexist as one, mingling and blurring the lines between what should be impossible but yet somehow fit like pieces of a puzzle, and Darius has just given me the last piece.

Darius pulls his teeth from my neck, and his eyes flicker oddly, the color changing from black to gold, then flashing before turning black again. He cups my face with his hand, and their fingers slip out of me. Darius kisses me softly, sucking my bottom lip into his mouth, making me gasp at how gentle he could be. “Four down, four to go,” he whispers against my lips and my brows furrow at his words.
