The only thing keeping me from being perfectly happy was missing Valens and Kivai.

Asano grinned at me. "You want your other present?"

"Another one? I already have a house carved into the side of a cliff. And all those pretty clothes I saw in the closet."

"Gotta keep you dressed pretty," Rayth nipped my neck. "So we can take them off you."

I shuddered against him.

"Yes, one more thing. In the bedroom." Asano waggled his eyes, and I laughed.

"Okay. But then I'm getting those orgasms you promised."

Rayth nipped my neck one more time, and I almost decided it could wait. Nikki grabbed my wrist, dragging me up the stairs, and my core pulsed at the pressure.

Up the winding stairs, through some more hallways, and we came back to the bedroom. Somehow they had opened a small window at the top of the ceiling, letting in a little bit of the aqua light cast by the ocean.

Valens stood in the center of the room.

I squealed and ran toward him, jumping without thinking about it.

He caught me easily.

"You're here. How are you here?" I babbled and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Nova informed us you wouldn't be happy without him," Rayth said. "So we sent word."

"Are you alright?" he asked.

Or tried to. I pressed my mouth against his, dragging him into a kiss. My legs were wrapped around him, my core pulsing, but he was so tall I wasn't remotely pressed against his dick.

"Yes," I breathed. "I picked out some alphas."

Nikki made a wounded noise. "Zara, nothing's changed."

I froze and looked at him.

"I'm sorry." His shoulders were hunched. "But I can't bond an omega who can't be my queen."

"And why can't she be your queen?" Asano snapped. "She's going to be a bloody high priestess."

"Exactly," Rayth said, pulling Asano over to him. "She will have responsibilities outside of a nation."

I slid off Valens and looked at my feet. "I'm sorry I dragged you into this."

My heart ached, like someone was squeezing it in their fist.

"Don't be," Nikki said fiercely. He came over and cupped my face. "Being with you has been a gift I never expected to receive."

My heart ached more as I looked into his eyes. "So why can't we figure something out?"

Nikki touched his forehead against mine, slowly gathering me against him like he was afraid I would break. "It's selfish to put you through that. You'll have to split your time between the Shrine and my kingdom. You'll have to juggle so many obligations, when all you want is to live in a quiet little island with your own bakery."

I pulled Nikki tightly against me, tears pricking my eyes. "I don't care. You're mine. I want you, you can't leave me if you feel a fraction of the—"

Nikki cut me off by pressing his mouth roughly against mine.

He swallowed me whole, devouring me like I was his last meal, last breath of air. His tongue pushed into my mouth, and I moaned against him. Nikki grabbed Valens's arm and jerked it around me, pressing me back until I pressed against Valens at the back and Nikki at the front.
