Bastian jerks and hisses out a breath. “Gods, I’ve missed you.”

I tell myself not to look up, not to witness the fact that I’ll be forever on the outside of their relationship—no matter how short myforeveris meant to be—but Bastian doesn’t appear consumed with Siobhan alone. He has one hand fisted in her hair, tugging her head back so he has full access to her throat. Even as I watch, he licks her there and reaches down to create a V with his fingers, parting her folds to give me unrestricted access to her.

He meets my gaze. “I missed you, too, Nox. So fucking much.”

I don’t have a response to that that won’t break my ribs open and expose my racing heart. So I don’t answer with words. Instead, I shift my hand up to join Siobhan’s around his shaft and go back to making her come all over my face.

Chapter27

Siobhan

Ever since I fled Lyariand went into hiding, I’ve fought against being known. Losing the two most important people in my life to violence at the hand of my sister? Even after my scars from the fire faded away to nothingness, the ones from Morrigan’s betrayal live on.

I never meant to fall for Bastian, to let him through my walls filled with spikes and traps designed to keep me safe. I certainly never meant to let my friendship with Nox turn into something more.

And yet the joy I feel now, in Nox’s bed with their mouth between my thighs, Bastian’s naked body pressed to mine…it’s indescribable. I feel like a great, greedy beast, wanting to devour each moment of this pleasure and keep it tucked away inside me forever. I’ve leaped from a high place, and there may be an inevitable crash in my future, but in the meantime, all I feel is the impulse to go faster, harder.

Nox lifts their head, the bottom half of their face wet withmy desire. They look at me and then Bastian, something vulnerable and overwhelming in their gray eyes. “I want to fuck you. Both of you.”

I can’t quite manage to be cool and collected when they talk like that. “At the same time?”

“Yes.”

Bastian’s already nodding. “I want that, too.” He kisses me, his fingers still moving over my pussy, pressing inside for the briefest moment before retreating again. He’s always been a tease when he gets riled. “I want to fuck you while Nox fucks us.”

My mind goes blessedly, perfectly blank. There’s only one answer, and I can barely get it out in my need. “Yes.”

Nox shifts over and takes Bastian’s cock into their mouth, sucking him deep. His grip goes tight on my hair. “Fuck, Nox, please. I need—” He cuts himself off as they lift their head and then rise. When Bastian begs, it’s a beautiful thing, but he’s not quite there yet.

We both sit up to watch Nox pad to their cabinet and dig through the drawers. When they bend over, displaying their pert little ass, I can’t help the hungry sound I make. They’ve tasted me, and as pleasurable as that was, I want to get my mouth on them, to lick my way down their spine, to press their cheeks wide and kiss them there until they squirm and moan, to cover their sex with my mouth and find out exactly what rhythm, what pressure makes their back bow and their fingers dig into my hair.

“Better hurry, Nox.” Bastian’s voice is ragged. “Otherwise, Siobhan is going to take you right there.”

They stand, a contraption hanging from their fingertips and a bottle of lube in their other hand. “Trust me when I say you’renot going to want to rush me through this.” They return to the bed, some of their customary swagger back in place. I don’t know if it’s a sign that they’re masking their true feelings or if thisisthem relaxing into what we’re doing.

The thought bothers me. I clear my throat. “You don’t have to pretend with us, Nox.”

Instead of retreating, they smile slowly. “I know, love.”

Love.

There’s no time to let that word wash over me because Bastian has leaned forward, curiosity lighting his beautiful face. “This isn’t like any strap I’ve seen.”

“It’s custom.”

They lightly fondle one of the trio of long, thick lengths attached to the straps. Even as we watch, it appears to squirm to life, growing and rolling with…“Water.”

“The very same.” Nox licks their lips. “Fuck you, fuck myself…A lot of fucking in our future.”

I see what they mean immediately. The third length isn’t positioned outward—it’s attached on the inner side, meant to penetrate Nox while they penetrate us. I shiver. “You are a genius, and it terrifies me.”

“Remember that next time I come up with a brilliant and questionable plan.” They lean down and press a quick kiss to my lips and then grab Bastian’s chin. “I want Siobhan on her back, you on top. Get her ready for us, Bastian.”

It’s as if their words unlock something in him. He pushes me back and slides down my body to press two fingers into me and cover my clit with his mouth. Bastian has always loved foreplay, and he’s not fucking around right now, licking me everywhere.

I can barely keep my eyes open as pleasure tightens through me, but watching Nox put on the strap is worth the effort. They move efficiently—except when Bastian sucks hard on my clit as he curls his fingers inside me, surprising a moan from me.

Nox pauses, their gaze so intense that I swear I can feel it on my skin…then I realize Iamfeeling it on my skin, air brushing over my nipples, not quite a true touch, but pleasurable enough to make me squirm. At least until I register exactly what they’re doing.
