There’s a jolt to Jasper’s body and I watch Ari sink his cock deeper into him with a groan.

“I don’t want it to stop,” Jasper says, moving his hips once more and sparking my body alight to match the beat of my heart.

“It’s just so much.” Jasper’s voice is choked with emotion and he groans.

Ari’s smile is sharp, taking Jasper’s words to be about the plundering of his body. “If I take it too easy on you, you’ll be disappointed.”

Jasper snarls in annoyance and I chuff a laugh.

“Does he like it rough?” I ask, my voice breathless and my body squirming. Jasper is moving far too slowly to stoke the fires in my belly to the point they need to be for climax and this edging with no end has the burn in my blood turning desperate.

Jasper’s golden eyes meet mine. “Yes, I do. Do you?”

I bite my lip and whimper. “Yes, I need more.”

Jasper’s mouth curves and he slows his movements even more, grunting when that makes Ari’s movements collide against him, surely stuffing him full.

“I’m trying not to hurt you.”

“Jasper!” I gasp. The desperate need in me flares at his teasing and my voice doesn’t sound like my own. There’s a burn to it that I’ve never had.

Everyone falters for a beat, but Jasper’s gaze becomes intent. “Yes?”

“Fuck me like you mean it,” I say. The same burn is still there and distantly, I recognize my words having a melodic lilt they regularly don’t.

“Oh temptress, this is definitely how we should have been training,” Ari says, but I miss it with the forging thrusts Jasper pounds into my body.

“Oh, fuck yes!” I say. His cock hits right where I need it, and each thrust of his body hits that spot over and over again.

Ari moans. His body curls around Jasper’s as the man between us moves like he’s possessed. He fucks into me and thrusts himself back against Ari with equal vigor. Ari circles the pad of his thumb on my clit with intent and that’s all it takes to send me into the stratosphere.

I scream with pleasure, but my cry is choppy with the thuds of Jasper’s body into mine. Jasper sinks his teeth into my shoulder and groans into my flesh as his heat fills me and a tingling spreads over my skin. Ari hisses and Jasper squeezes me to his body harder as he accepts what his lover gives him.

At once, we’re one and the same. Connected in life and in pleasure, never to be torn asunder.

EMILIA

Our heavy breathsfill the room, but eventually they slow. I hear a rustle and kiss and realize that my eyes are closed. I blink them open to catch Ari pulling away from Jasper, his body back to the scale-covered but tailless state. It figures that it’s easier to go around without being half a giant snake.

“What—” I start. “What just happened?”

Ari starts laughing. “That, dear sweet Emilia, my spark, my ember, my flame, was you compelling Jasper. A skill that we haven’t even mentioned yet.”

“Oh shit. I compelled you? Are you okay?” I ask.

Jasper’s face is the biggest grin I’ve ever seen. “Okay?” His voice is hoarse. “She compels me to fuck her, and she asks if I’m okay?”

“She’s considerate like that,” Ari says, amused.

“No,” I say, my face flushing with heat. “I want to make sure I didn’t make you do anything you didn’t want to. That’s called consent, not consideration.”

Jasper’s smile softens and he touches my cheek like I’m spun glass instead of someone he’d just fucked with abandon. “Believe me, Emilia, you didn’t make me do anything I wasn’t craving to do in the first place.”

“Oh, good.”

He kisses me before sliding his softening cock from my body. Ari is there, holding washcloths
