Ripping my lips from Ember's with effort, I turned to Micah, panting.

"You mean it?"You aren't just saying it for my sake?I added in my mind, not wanting Ember to worry about that.

"Yeah. I mean it, I promise." Turning to a puzzled Ember, Micah swallowed and said, "Could we...join you?"

Translating for my shy mate, I added, "He means we'd like to go further, if you're up for it."

Ember's eyes widened, going from me to Micah and back again. He swallowed, and his Adam's apple bobbed in the most delicious way.

Then, he turned the doorknob and pushed the door open, holding it for us.

Taking Micah's hand so he didn't start second-guessing himself, I led him inside, and Ember closed the door after us, probably so Jodi wouldn't get in. Not that the door would stop her or Saaya if they were really determined.

The guest room we'd given Ember was right beside our bedroom, and it had a similar layout, though the bed was a king, while the one in our room was a bigger one I'd had made so all four of us—once we found our final mate—could sleep together.

I pulled Micah to the bed, and he perched on the very edge as Ember walked close.

Ember reached up and cupped Micah's cheek with his right hand, then mine with his left. "Are you both sure? We don't have to do anything if you're not ready. We can just cuddle and sleep."

I smiled. That was such an Ember thing to say. I wanted to shout 'Daddy!' in Micah's mind again, but I was trying not to push him too much. It wasn't that I had any real interest in BDSM, but I knew how flustered it made Micah, and that was the only reason I said it.

"I'm sure." I turned to press a kiss on Ember's warm hand. He smiled down at me, his blue eyes flickering with warmth like there were actual flames in his irises. Maybe his eyes were like DD's, forever changing.

"Micah?" Ember prompted, and he glanced up, his lower lip caught between his teeth.

"I... I'm not sure I'm ready yet," he said hesitantly, and my eyes widened. So he had said it for my sake! Before I could say anything, before I could tell him off, he continued, "But I want you to be together. Is it okay if I just...watch?"

I froze. The idea of doing something,anything, with Ember while Micah observed sent a bolt of need right up my spine. Fuck.

Ember seemed dumbstruck, and I placed my palm over his, making him jerk and shake his head.

"Oh! Of course it's okay, Micah. Whatever you want. And if you decide you want to join us or that you want us to stop, you can say so at any time."

And if you want us to stop and don't say anything, you'll pay for it, I added in a warning.

"I promise," he answered to the both of us, then stood up, pressed a kiss on my lips, then one on Ember's, before settling in an armchair in the corner of the room. It had a perfect view of the bed, and Micah leaned back into the chair, looking utterly relaxed as he waited for us to continue.

Fuck, this was going to be one unforgettable night.

Ember

My mates were going to drive me crazy.

Micah sat in his chair, completely unruffled, while Cam gazed up at me with warm expectation.

Leaning forward, I pulled him into a kiss, my arms going around his waist as his slid around my neck. His lips were unbelievably soft, and I nipped at the lower one, making him whine.

Sliding my hands lower, I cupped his ass, then used my grip to pull him up so I didn't have to crane my neck to kiss him.

Cam gasped into my mouth, wrapping his legs around my waist without breaking the kiss.

On the bed.

The voice in my head made me jump, but Cam grinned against my lips, pulling back just a little to gaze up at me, his green eyes dark and still sparkling.

"You heard him."

So it was Micah. Did that mean he'd added me to their mental link?
