“Well, that seems kind of unfair,” I retorted, still very naked.
Without discussing it, Rhett and Luke moved to change positions. Luke moved to the front of my body, kissing me and lightly rolling my nipple between his fingertips. Any further protests disappeared from my lips. Rhett lined up behind me, and I leaned into the weight of his tall frame for support.
Luke lowered to his knees, causing a catch in my breath. He picked up one of my legs, kissing his way up the inside of my thigh. He wrapped my leg around his shoulders so that he could bury his face against me. Rhett turned my face back to him and kissed me once more deeply as Luke ran his tongue down the center of me. I opened my mouth, and Rhett swallowed my moans.
“Open yourself to us, Al baby. Let my magic in,” Rhett whispered.
I relaxed further into his embrace.
Luke lifted my other leg off the ground, supporting my weight with my legs wrapped around his face. Rhett wrapped his hands around my breasts, and he fed at my mouth, while Luke fed on me as well.
I squeezed my eyes closed and allowed their efforts to consume me. My body was humming with pleasure from head to toe. And then I saw it in my mind. It was like a glowing golden string.Was it Rhett’s magic?Was the sex so good that I was hallucinating?Near the middle of the string, there was a part that looked thin and fraying. I was drawn to it.
Was I supposed to touch it to allow Rhett’s magic to enter me? If I managed to fix it, did that mean I was his mate?
In my mind’s eye, I reached out a hand and hesitantly touched the golden thread. The frayed ends connected with a sharp snap, and I felt a jolt of adrenaline surge through my body.
“You going to come for us?” Luke purred, bringing my consciousness back to the edge of the pleasure I neared.
I panted heavy breaths into Rhett’s mouth in reply. Luke swirled his tongue around my opening before darting inside of me, then rolling up to the top of me. I arched my back, pushing myself toward Luke, who buried himself deeper into me. Rhett slid his tongue into my mouth in the same rhythm that Luke worked. I rocked my hips into the embrace of each pass of Luke’s tongue. The swelling built up inside of me and I held my breath in anticipation.
I moved my hands on top of Rhett’s, encouraging him to squeeze my breasts harder, as Luke’s tongue moved to the top of me again. I dug a hand into Luke’s hair, riding his face, then I shattered over the incessant flicking of his tongue. Rhett pinched my nipples, rolling them between his fingers as my orgasm dragged on.
Luke rose from his knees, handing me my clothes as he did so. Legs still weak from my release, I slid on my panties and then threw on my dress, deciding not to go through the trouble with my bra.
“Now I see why you guys were holed up in Luke’s bedroom all weekend. That was—” Rhett tilted his head and raised his eyebrows, as if just realizing something. Luke and I both looked at Rhett expectantly, waiting for him to finish his sentence.
“That was fun.But…” Rhett said, taking a step away from me. “That’s it, guys.Just fun.Mysearch for my mate, at least, continues.”
Luke swooped me into his arms, his laughter warm against my neck. I didn’t even have time to feel relieved or say anything at all to Rhett. Luke was already heading straight to my room with a determined glint in his sky-blue eyes that told me I would not be leaving my bedroom for the rest of the day.

Icautiously walked along a slightly different path than the one I had taken an hour before. Despite my large size, the movement of my feet along the forest ground was nearly silent and indistinguishable from the other sounds of the forest around me. I was patrolling one of the areas along the wall that had been previously compromised but was now patched up by the King. We knew of over twenty such locations so far.
The King had explained that although he had repaired the magical hole in the wall, that area would always be a weak point, like when putty replaces what used to be a brick. I, along with a handful of my best men, monitored these weak points week after week. Others under my command were assigned to patrol the larger areas in between these points to look out for any new holes in the wall.
Our near-constant patrolling kept us out in the forest, at camps, and away from our homes. And High Lord Dumont wanted me back at the Golden Court every minute I was not out patrolling. But I’d been thinking about taking a trip back to the High Court—
I turned abruptly at the sound of a small twig snapping behind me. The hilt of my dagger was in my hand and ready to be thrown. Depending on the height of the fae who had thought to sneak up on me, the blade would either hit him in the heart or the throat. I was fine with either.
“Commander,” the man breathed out seconds before I would have thrown the blade in my hand. The man stood stock-still, eyes wide, knowing how close he had come to an iron dagger in the throat.
“Charles, man, why have you not followed protocol?” I barked, displeased that I had almost killed one of my travelers, one of the very few we had in our service.
Travelers appearing out of nowhere, and startling soldiers was a recipe for disaster. Protocol would have required him to travel at least sixty yards away from me, giving me time to identify him as not a threat.
Charles, a high fae man with blond hair pulled into a slick bun at the nape of his neck, gulped but stood his ground. “Commander, there was no time. There are Alancian soldiers, sir.”
“How many?” I barked. I would take up the issue of the traveler’s lack of discipline another time.
“Fifteen. Probably scouts,” Charles answered.
“How many of us can you take with you at one time?” I asked.
Every traveler varied on the number of people they could move, if they could even move people. Some travelers could only move objects, and all travelers varied on how far they could go, whether they could go over water or just land, and so many other aspects.
