“While winning back their legacies, the fates marked us as mates.”
“All of you?”
“Uh huh.”
“Oh, my,” Grams drawled, looking at each of my guys again, as if appraising them for their future familial worth. “Well, it looks like I have some catching up to do. I’m sure you’ll all explain everything to me in due time.”
My guys nodded, and I smiled, relieved that Grams was taking this news much better than I thought she would.
“Thank you for understanding, Grams,” I said.
Grams smiled, her eyes twinkling. “Who am I to argue with fate? Boys, welcome to the family. I trust you’ll treat my granddaughter like the crown jewel she is.” Grams motioned for her guards, but continued speaking to me. “Let’s go back home. I have a special gift for you that’s been a long time coming.”
And with that, I summoned a portal and all of us disappeared through it, heading back to Grams’ manor.
There’s No Place Like Home
SERA
I’d only been asleep in my new bed for a few hours, but I woke up refreshed and invigorated, eager to fully explore our new home. After demanding all five of my mates swear oaths of loyalty to the Lowe family line, my beaming grandmother had ushered us off to the gift she’d mentioned: our own house. The house, or maybe I should call it an estate, was one of the family properties in what was known unofficially as the mage section of town.
Exploring was easier said than done, considering Liam and Marcos had sandwiched me between their dozing selves. Last night, my mates had been solely focused on exploring me, not our newly gifted residence. It was so amazing to have this opportunity with my fated mates, and I’d never have imagined it, but I couldn’t be happier with the situation. Or the men. I had a moment of pause, thinking back over these past few weeks, and it was still hard to believe I’d been abducted by the fae Taneisha, taken on a series of quests, and then found my fated mates in the supernova of hotness from my Goldenbriar Academy days.
It was all too much to take in.
But while that was running through my head, my body had other ideas. I felt a hand on my thigh, sliding up under my pajama shorts. The calloused pad of a finger traced along my folds and slid across my clit. My eyes popped open as I gasped for breath. Marcos was leaning over me, his dark eyes full of hunger as he leaned down to kiss me. His lips were soft at first, but then he pressed against mine more firmly and his tongue slid between them into my mouth.
I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him close against me as our tongues danced together in an erotic dance of their own. Marcos moved his hand from between my legs to around the small of my back. He pulled me against him as we lay on our sides facing each other. His kiss was an awakening of my body, and the heat between my thighs was immediate. I ran my palms down Marcos’s back, feeling the contours of his muscles. He broke our kiss, pulling back to look at me.
“I’m not sure if you’re ready for more after last night, but I need you so bad it hurts,” Marcos whispered.
I knew my absence while I’d been in faery learning about my powers had hit my shifters the hardest. Their animalistic need to see me and reassure their beasts that their mate was safe and sound meant being apart from me had been a source of almost physical pain.
I leaned forward, nipping at his earlobe and whispering back, “I’m a faery-mage. I can handle anything you throw at me.”
Marcos chuckled. “That’s what I’m counting on.”
Liam slid into place behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist as he nuzzled against my neck with soft kisses that made me shiver with anticipation of what was to come next. His hand slid up under my shirt, caressing my rib cage and stomach before finding its way up to cup one breast while he pinched the other nipple.
“Oh, gods!” My breathy voice betrayed how turned on I already was from Marcos’ tender ministrations. The heat from his body seeped into mine through our skin-to-skin contact, warming every inch of flesh where we touched each other up to a fever pitch.
“You’re so beautiful,” Liam said against my earlobe before nibbling on it gently with his teeth before sucking it into his mouth for a moment.
I felt the bed shift behind me as Liam moved around. I had a moment to wonder what he was doing, but then I didn’t care, because his hands were on my hips and his lips on my neck. I let out a shuddering breath as he nibbled along the sensitive skin of my neck and earlobe, sending shivers of anticipation down my spine.
“You feel so good in my arms,” Liam murmured against my ear. “We should stay like this all day.”
I turned within his embrace to face him, sliding one hand up into his hair at the nape of his neck while the other traced along the rippling muscles of his arms. “I’m not going to stay in bed all day,” I said. “Aren’t you curious about our new home?”
“I am,” Marcos purred. “But first I’d love to watch you subdue a pair of beasts who are determined to devour you.”
I was never one to back down from a challenge, and Marcos knew it. “I’d like to see them try.”
Liam’s eyes widened slightly with surprise, but then he smiled and nodded, turning me back towards Marcos and then moving behind me, pulling off our pajamas until we were all naked together. It was such a profoundly intimate moment that I had to stop for a moment to take it all in and appreciate it for what it meant: We’d found each other, fate had brought us together, the quests were in our rear-view mirror, and now we were free to explore our new relationship together.
I ran my palms along Marcos’ chest as he leaned forward against me again, peppering kisses down over my shoulder while he slid two fingers inside of me. He made sure not to push them in too far or move them too fast; instead he focused on rubbing across that sweet spot deep within me that made every nerve ending sizzle with pleasure. His thumb circled around my clit as he worked me with those skilled fingers until I was panting for breath under him.
“You’re ready for more,” Marcos said with a smile against the skin of my neck before biting down on it gently. “So am I.”
