“Gods, I love you,” he whispered like he was repeating himself.

I drew back, but only far enough to find his mouth for a kiss.

He smiled against my lips. “Your men aren’t done. Are you?”

I shook my head quickly. Niko’s grin grew.

“Out of the water, then,” Lars said behind me. I looked back to find him eyeing me up and down. “Because as hot as you are, I don’t want to accidentally heat this pool to pure steam and burn us all.”

Clay chuckled.

“Yeah, definitely not,” Dex agreed wryly.

I grinned.

Taking my hand, Lars led me up the stone slope from the pool. My legs were wobbly beneath me, but he didn’t let me struggle for long. As my feet left the water and the ledge leveled out beneath us, he drew me close. His hands held me secure, stabilizing me, while his blue eyes burned with desire.

“Having you all to myself…” He made a pleased sound. “But I don’t need to be greedy.” Quickly, he turned me, pressing my back to the stone wall and caging my body with his. “I know they’ll all still want to see your gorgeous face when you come.”

Taking my waist, he lifted me. My ankles crossed behind him, pressing my clit to his hard length. Past his shoulder, I could see my other men climbing from the pool, water streaming from their naked, muscular bodies. Their eyes were locked on us.

I bit my lip as Lars eased into me. Warmth spread over my skin, licking away every water droplet and keeping away any trace of a chill. But even as the moisture faded, the hot air remained, flitting across my skin like tiny invisible fingers.

Shuddering breaths escaped me as he thrust deeper into my wetness, one of his hands supporting me and the other bracing him on the wall. Tiny tongues of heat teased at my nipples and twisted around my throat, stoking the molten need in my core.

“I’ll never get enough of this pussy,” he grunted out. “Gods, beautiful. How can you feel this… this fuckinggood?”

Leaning my head back against the rough stone, I could only smile as my breasts tingled with my rising need to come. “That’s my question for you too.”

He chuckled, but the sound was breathless and lost swiftly under the quickening pace of his thrusts.

Gold light flickered at the corner of my eyes, unexpected. I rolled my head to the side, searching for the source.

The symbols inlaid into the wall were glowing.

I stared. “Lars.”

“I know. I can feel it.” He grunted with the effort of restraining himself. “It’s taking the overflow of my magic.”

“But…” I winced with pleasure, unable to stop myself from grinding harder against him. “Is that?—”

“It’s… okay. I don’t think it’ll hurt…” A desperate sound left him. “Fuck.”

He turned suddenly, his grip on me tightening. His back slammed into the wall while his free hand shoved between us, flicking my clit with fingers that burned hotter than the rest of his skin.

The sensation was a jolt to my system that sent me straight over the edge into an orgasm. My forehead fell against his chest while my eyes squeezed shut. Overwhelming pleasure made a sudden rush of moisture pour from inside me.

My eyes flew wide with surprise, but Lars only flashed me a grin. The expression quickly turned to a grimace, though, as his cock jerked inside me and his cum suddenly flooded me too.

Behind him, Clay whistled low. “Fire guy makes our girl gush.Nice.”

Lars’s grin returned as his orgasm faded. “Pretty sure I had you and the others’ help with that, brother.” His expression turned teasing when he met my eyes. “But as for seeing our beautiful princess’s face when she comes, I guess I am greedy after all.”

A blush burned my cheeks, but then a glint of bright gold caught my eye.

The symbols were still glowing on the wall.

I tensed. “Whatisthat?”
