"May I kiss you, Kai?"
"Yes, please."
The moment Cam's lips brushed against mine, I knew this would be nothing like the chaste goodnights I'd gotten so far.
His hand slid around my waist as he deepened the kiss, his lips caressing mine as his fingers slid under the back of my shirt. He pressed firmly against the small of my back, pushing me closer to him as his tongue licked at my bottom lip.
I moaned softly, and he didn't waste the opportunity to slide his hot, wet tongue into my mouth.
My hands clutched at his arms as I kissed him back, his firm muscles flexing under my touch as he moved. I wished I could touch his bare skin instead of the cotton of his shirt.
"Cam, take off your shirt," Micah said in a husky voice, and I groaned when Cam complied instantly.
Micah was the bossy one. Who would've guessed? That was fucking hot.
The moment Cam pulled back to remove his shirt, Micah cupped my face, turning my head toward him as he claimed my lips.
While Cam's kiss had been explorative and soft, Micah's was... intense and full of impatience. This role-reversal was fucking with me in the best of ways, and I moaned into Micah's mouth, clutching at Cam's shoulder with one hand to keep my balance while my other hand cupped Micah's bare waist, the bottom of his crop top brushing against my hand as he moved.
When Micah pulled back, he was panting, his eyes darker than I'd ever seen before.
"Ember," he murmured softly, and Ember gripped my waist, pulling me from between Cam's legs and onto his lap, my legsthrown on either side of his and my knees digging into the mattress as he cupped my cheeks.
I could hear Cam and Micah kissing as Ember peered into my eyes before claiming my lips, his big hands holding onto me as he kissed me.
His erection pressed against my ass, our chests rubbing together as I moved just a little, unable to stop myself from rocking over him.
Ember groaned into my mouth, his tongue dancing against mine, and I wondered why I'd waited so long for this.
In the grand scheme of things, it hadn't been all that long since I met these three, but they were my mates, and that made all the difference.
Every moment I'd spent with them had shown me again and again why Fate had picked them for me. They were perfect for me, each one of them in their own unique way. Now that I knew them, I couldn't imagine my life without any of them, and I didn't want to.
I wanted to be with my mates for the rest of our long lives. I might not have been in love with them just yet, but I was falling fast, and I wasn't the least bit afraid.
Thirty-Seven
Cam
My dragon was roaring inside me, ecstatic about being surrounded by our mates and finally getting to 'claim' them.
While I tried not to act like the territorial asshole my dragon wanted me to be, my instincts were in overdrive right then, pushing me to kiss, bite, and fuck my mates.
Only Micah's voice and his calm orders kept me in line, and I was grateful to him for that. While I adored most things about my dragon and could be a bossy shit when I wanted to be, I did not like being in charge in the bedroom, which was another reason why Micah and I had made a great pair since the beginning. I had a feeling that if I'd met Kai or Ember first, we'd have struggled a lot more to be together.
Whether he knew it or not, Micah was the glue that held us together or, rather, the oil that kept us running smoothly.
I moaned as he tweaked my nipple, forcing me back to the here and now as he rubbed his ass against my dick. Micah didn't bottom and had no interest in doing so, but that didn't mean he couldn't drive me crazy with that ass of his.
"Fuck," Kai gasped beside me, and I turned to look at him as Micah's lips closed over my nipple.
Kai was watching us, his eyes dark as he licked his lips, his ass moving over Ember's lap as Ember's fingers dug into his hips, his face buried in the crook of Kai's neck.
I'd daydreamed a lot about what it would be like when the four of us finally got together in bed, but the reality was much better. I had a feeling I wouldn't last very long, at least this first time.
Hearing my thoughts, Micah gave my nipple one last suck before sliding off my lap. "Up on the bed," he said, and I scrambled to follow. The bedroom was the one place I'd never not listen to Micah, and he knew it too.
I watched as he pressed his chest against Kai's back, placing his hands on Kai's waist as he pressed a kiss below his ear.
