“And Cook will make us tarts.” Aurora giggled.
I couldn’t look away from Blaze, even if I tried. It was as if his darkened eyes had harnessed the power of the siren’s call. A smile hinted at his feral, sensual mouth. “And Cook will make you tarts.”
“And tea that isn’t stale,” I thought I heard Aurora say.
A swarm of butterflies unleashed in my chest as Blaze held me trapped beneath his gaze.
“Fresh tea with cream and sugar,” he answered.
Elements help me, my thighs quivered when he slowly dragged his tongue across his lips, and I had a sudden visual of that sensual tongue licking all over me.
“I think we’ll like Abyssus,” Ember squealed.
I managed to drag my gaze away from Blaze, and my heart warmed to see my nieces smiling, though their eyes were heavy with sleep. Not long, and I could sneak off with my mates.
“Thank you,” I mouthed to my winged warriors.
“You’re welcome,” they mouthed back, their eyes darkened with desire.
“We’ll be just through this door if you need anything.” Nikkos nodded toward the warped door as he and his brother made a slow retreat.
“I may need something later...” I bit my lip, summoning the courage to voice my desires. “After the girls fall asleep.”
My mates stopped, looking as if they were about to combust into flame, and I felt the pull of desire thrumming between us.
“Goodnight,” I said to them while batting my lashes.
“Goodnight,” they both said, each giving me one last lingering look before shutting the door behind them.
Oh elements. My bones turned to liquid lava, and I feared I’d melt into the sheets. A slow steady heartbeat pounded between my thighs, and I knew, I knew all I had to do was spread my legs, and my mates would devour me. Goddess save me, how badly I wanted to sink beneath passion’s tide with them and never come up for air.
“I like it here, Auntie,” Aurora said, her voice thick with fatigue. “Their beds are nicer than our bed.”
“And your bed at Abyssus will be even nicer,” I whispered to them as I resumed scratching their backs, doing my best to coax them to sleep.
I wanted them. I wanted my mates. I was no longer afraid of the flame in their eyes. I wanted to be consumed by their fire.
“Auntie, is this a safe place to disappear to if we get in trouble?”
I looked down at Aurora, cursing myself for not thinking of it sooner. My nieces and I hadn’t established a safe place. Not that I thought we’d need it, but we could never be too sure. “Yes, darling,” I said to her while stroking her forehead. “If we’re in danger, you take your sister here.” I motioned toward Ember, who was already sleeping beside me.
Aurora yawned before snuggling closer to me. “What if it’s not safe here, either?”
“Then return to the cave where we slept last night,” I said to her. “And if that cave’s not safe, then go to the other one.”
“Yes, Auntie,” she slurred before closing her eyes.
I laid with them while listening to their gentle snores. No way was I falling asleep as my desire for my mates grew with each pounding heartbeat.
Tonight I would surrender to this burning love. Tonight my mates would hopefully drive away my nightmares.

Istood at the doorto my mates’ room, my hand pressed upon the wood, wondering, worrying if I should turn back. Was I ready to be alone with them? Curling my fingers into the door’s uneven slats, I released a trembling breath, fearing what would happen if I opened that door while equally afraid of turning back. The embers they’d stirred within my soul burned brighter with each pounding heartbeat. I wanted them. I needed them.
And then the door opened, and the decision was made for me when Blaze stood on the other side of the threshold, that smoldering look in his eyes as he took in the sight of me. I was keenly aware that I wore nothing else but that thin nightdress, my nipples hardening beneath his bold stare. Water drops dripped off his hair and clung to his bronzed skin, and he wore nothing but a threadbare towel wrapped around his waist exposing a broad chest and all that glorious muscle. I balled up my hands until nails broke skin, fighting the urge to run my fingers across the swirling flame tattoos that dissected the front of his chest.
Holy flames!
