He nibbles on it before pulling away and smiling back at me.

Darius’ hands still cup my face, warming me up more. His magic bleeds through me, trying to calm the frantic bond. I see Tobias kiss Kalen’s shoulder. Why is he scared? What did he have to be afraid of? Kalen turns his head to face him, to look at him, and Tobias kisses him. The sight makes my bond flare stronger; saddened Kalen would give in to Tobias, but not me.

“I know you want him. He will give your bond what it wants. Kalen has never been with a woman. Just give him a second,” Darius purrs, leaning down and kissing me softly. His words startle me for a second, and when he pulls away, Kalen is staring down at me with a worried look on his face, and his cheeks flush.

His embarrassment hits me, and my bond calms, reacting to him. I want to comfort him and tell him it was okay; I am a virgin, for god’s sake, and not many are at the age of twenty-four, especially not a damn keeper.

A purr escapes me, a noise I wasn’t aware I could make, my bond rushing out like an aura and reassuring him. Kalen sighs, closing his eyes and tipping his head back. My body feels foreign doing things I have no control over. The urge to comfort my mate becomes all I am, and I feel the tension start to leave him.

“What are you worried about? Hurting her? I can assure you right now you won’t, not while she is like this,” Tobias chuckles, nodding toward me, writhing on the bed.

Kalen looks down at me, and his face takes on a darkened expression, his eyes flickering, and the room chills slightly, reacting to his mood.

And for the first time, I catch glimmers of his aura. I have never seen one, and I know it’s only because I’m filled with his magic. However, Kalen’s aura appears black as coal and fractures like shattered glass crackled within it. Darkness, his aura, is tainted by the darkness that sometimes took over him, showing how close he lived to the edge of this world and death, a limbo between the light and darkness that swirls within him.

“Yes, but mostly about what she will see,” Kalen says, and Lycus cups Kalen’s cheek with his hand. His thumb smooths under his eye.

“It won’t make her love you any less,” Lycus says consolingly. Their words confuse me, and I try to process what he means. I desperately want to ask, yet my tongue feels thick in my mouth. I glance at Darius, who has an indecipherable expression. Worry etches through his handsome face, a crease forming between his dark demonic eyes as I stare up at him questionably.

Darius licks his lip, and his eyes go to mine and soften slightly. “There is a reason they are called keepers. They are keepers of more than magic, Aleera. You get their magic, but you also get all their secrets, even the ones we haven’t told each other,” Darius murmurs, the last part as if he had just remembered.Was that what Kalen was worried about?I know that already, so why is he so scared of me learning about his past? The atmosphere in the room changes now that Darius has spoken. A nervous ripple courses through all of them as they watch me.

“Kalen doesn’t have a good one, Aleera. I know you are probably having trouble keeping a singular thought, but you should know not one of us has a stellar past,” Lycus whispers while leaning over me. He brushes his nose against mine and pecks my lips. My hands grip his arms, tugging him closer and deepening the kiss. Lycus palms my breast before rolling my nipple between his fingers as I kiss him.

Hands smooth over my thighs, and Lycus pulls away from me just as Kalen grips my hips, yanking me closer to him.

His eyes flicker at me, and he purrs, a cocky grin splitting onto his face. Kalen pushes my legs further apart before grabbing his cock in his hand. He runs the tip between my glistening wet folds, making me arch my hips, wanting him to sink himself inside my tight confines.

Lycus growls, and my eyes dart to him to find him watching Kalen tease me by running his cock between my lips, parting them. Lycus leans down, and Kalen moves slightly as Lycus’ mouth covers my throbbing pussy, his hot tongue brushing my clit, making me cry out and buck against his lips. Lycus growls, sucking on it harder, and I watch Kalen run his fingers through Lycus’ hair.

My hips roll against his fiery tongue. Arousal makes my muscles tense, and heat pools in my belly, desire coursing through me. My thighs become slick as my juices spill from me, coating his lips. Lycus pulls away, and Kalen grips the back of his neck, bringing Lycus’ lips to his and kissing him. Tasting me on Lycus’ lips, Kalen lets him go, and my breathing becomes harsher as the bond grows impatient.

Kalen looks down at me and smirks before running the tip of his cock between my pussy lips again teasingly, stopping at my entrance. Tobias moves onto the bed on my other side, his lips latching onto my nipple, making me moan, and his hand falls on my knee, pulling my leg further open.

Kalen’s hand fall on my thigh, spreading my legs wide apart as he moved closer and pushes the tip in. I gasp at the feeling. Tobias pulls away, and I see Kalen watching me as he slowly pushes inside me, stretching me around his thick shaft. His cock grazes my inner walls, gliding in smoothly, coated in my juices. My pussy grips him, and he groans. His eyes flicker before shoving inside me; his hips slamming flush against me.

Kalen stills before watching himself slide out of me, and his eyes flick to mine when I move my hips, forcing him back inside. Darius growls, his hands moving to my shoulders before letting me go. His magic releases me, and the bond is flooded with nothing but primal desire. Kalen smiles darkly, gripping my hips and slamming into me.

I reach for him, my hands wanting to touch him. I feel the bed dip as Tobias and Lycus move when Kalen grips my hands, lacing his fingers through mine and shoving them into the mattress above my head. His lips crash against mine hungrily. My tongue fighting his for dominance as the bond flares. I roll my hips in sync with his thrusts and moan as bliss rolls over me. Kalen suddenly floods me with his magic, giving me all of it, bathing me in it. My bond tangles with his, and my chest warms at the feeling coursing through me.

Kalen’s lips move to my mark, and he sucks on it, earning a moan from me when sparks make my entire body buzz. His hard length slides in and out of me, slick with my arousal from the building friction. Kalen groans when my walls clamp down around him. His lips return to mine, and my fingers squeeze his as he drives me closer to the precipice.

As he tastes every inch of my mouth, Kalen’s tongue becomes demanding, and I am overwhelmed with the friction and his magic slivering through me. My entire body heats, and my breathing turns to pants as I roll my hips against him when my bond takes over completely, hungry to mark him and claim him.

Kalen growls when my magic shoves out, and I overpower him, flipping him on his back. Kalen can barely sit up in time before I climb on top of him. My legs straddle his waist, and Kalen’s arms wrap around my waist, slowing me as I sink down on him.

A sigh escapes my lips at the feel of his cock filling me, and my head rolls back at the pleasurable feeling, only for a set of lips to swallow my moans as Tobias’ lips cover mine. Kalen rolls my hips against him, his lips going to my breast, his teeth tugging at my nipple as his tongue swirls around it.

My stomach coils with tension, and heat washes over me. My inner walls quiver as the first ripple effect of my orgasm crashes over me. Kalen groans and Tobias’ lips leave mine, only for Kalen to grip the back of my neck, bringing my lips back to his. His kiss is hungry, and I shatter.

My pussy is pulsating and gripping his cock when Kalen’s lips pull away from mine, and he groans as warm jets of semen coat my insides. His movements slow just as I sink my teeth into his neck.

Fireworks explode behind my eyelids as his soul bleeds into mine, giving me every piece of him. His magic is no longer his or mine but ours. My bond calms, and I moan as his blood floods my mouth and coats my tongue. Kalen’s cock twitches inside me as he clutches me closer. My orgasm is prolonged by the feeling of his magic flowing through both of us, and my cries seem endless as I ride out its effects.

I gasp, pulling my teeth from his neck. Kalen cups my face in his hands, and the room spins, warping the colors around us. I feel like I'm falling when Kalen kisses me gently. “I love you. I never stopped,” Kalen whispers, pulling away, and he sighs, pressing his forehead against mine.

“So, please forgive me,” he whispers. I don’t understand what he’s saying until I am plunged into the darkness of his memories. I am aware of my body moving. I can feel their hands touching me until I no longer feel anything. It’s like I’m transported into a different realm, thrown into new and unfamiliar surroundings. Then, it hits me. I’ve traveled back into Kalen’s memories.
