“Vasili’s been a one-horse cowboy since the day Ronin Pendragon enrolled at this Academy,” Vasili says lightly. “Entirely monogamous, if you can believe that. We’ve always suited up because Roninwasn’t.”
There’s a lot happening in this bed right now (besides sex), but I’m still horny as fuck thanks to my heat, and Neo’s pretty out of it. Still, my fated mate is worried about crushing me. He rolls sluggishly off me and comes face to face with a naked Lucius.
Confronted with his equally naked star pupil, Lucius looks suddenly alarmed and furtive. “Ah, Mr. Mercury…”
The Goblin King snorts and lifts his eloquent eyes toward heaven, which honestly doesn’t help. But Neo really has had every single nerve fucked out of him. He smiles drowsily, says “Hello, Lucius,” and leans in to give him the sweetest kiss.
When Neo eases back and flops down next to Ronin, it’s actually Lucius who’s blushing. And I totally can’t wait for the two of them to find their way into this new relationship we’re all exploring.
“Hmmm,” Vasili says.
He’s starting to look guarded, and I don’t like that a bit.
I slide my hands down my well-ridden but still frisky body and say in my throatiest sex kitten whisper, “Hey, Goblin King. No one wears clothes in this bed tonight.”
And you’d better fucking say something more than “hmmm” this time.
His lids drop over his eyes and his gaze takes its sweet time crawling over me. I’d probably feel self-conscious if I wasn’t still so horny. Because I’m just a total mess, all flushed and tousled and damp and sticky, with Neo’s come dripping out of me and Lucius’ punctures throbbing gently at my shoulder and a love bite Ronin sucked into the side of my neck still stinging.
“A mess?” Vasili whispers on an indrawn breath. “No. Not at all. Zara, you’re… glorious.”
I launch toward him and he pounces on me and we meet in the middle, his pretty mouth fusing with mine like atoms colliding in a nuclear kiss. I shove my tongue into his mouth and lick his sharp little fangs and lap up the essence of Lucius mingled with Ronin in the silky heat of his kiss. He really loves that I’m so into his fangs, it disarms all that pissy Romanov attitude of his so beautifully, and he pushes me back on the mattress with a sudden roughness that makes me realize he’s the only person in this bed who still hasn’t come.
I roll us onto our sides like the equals we are and run my hands over his streamlined body. He’s all sleek skin stretched over balletic muscle, and I quickly discover he’s super sensitive around the pink nipples I’ve wanted to tongue since the first time I saw them. So I do, I flick my tongue across his nipples until they’re tight and shiny with my spit while he moans, and when I bite them he hisses and swears at me.
But he still doesn’t want me to stop.
His hands are learning the way I feel too. He’s learning the way I shiver when he drags his sharp fingernails down my spine and the way I moan when he mouths my neck so I can feel his fangs and the way I keen for him when he slides one long finger down the crack of my ass.
“Hmmm,” he purrs, his icy eyes going warm with mischief. “Darling, I can hardly believe no one in this bed tonight’s taken advantage ofthat.”
“Can’t tap every ass in this whole blooming bed, love,” Ronin murmurs. He’s wrapped himself around Lucius now. Lucius is licking his bite with slow sizzling strokes that make me hotter with every swipe, and watching us with his wolfish eyes gleaming with secrets.
“I can’t imagine why not,” Vasili drawls.
A jumble of longing ties my insides in knots.
I’ve always been a back-door girl, and Vasili’s obviously always been a back-door man. But I want Vasili to want all of me, the way I want all of him. And it isn’t even reasonable what I want, since up until a day or two ago, he thought he was one hundred percent gay—
“I did,” he groans, biting his way down my neck, which just about makes me climax for him right there. “I do. I still think I mostly am, darling.Except for you.I’m completely fucking in love with my fucking queen, who is most decidedly a woman, and I don’t know what kind of label to put on this. It’s you, it’s me, it’s all fucking five of us. I’m committed to all four of you.”
He pauses, breathing hard, lying like Cleopatra’s adder with his face pressed between my tits, and we all listen to the echo of his words.
He’s in love with me.
If he isn’t already in love with all of us, he’s definitely headed in that direction.
And Vasili Romanov, the uncompromising anti-monarchist, has just accepted me as his queen.
I thread my fingers through his silver hair and cradle his head between my palms and whisper in the lightning voice. “You’re mine to love. You’re my snake. You’re my alpha. You’re the complete terror of the witching world and the worst nightmare of all my enemies. You’re mine. You’re mine. You’remine.”
My window rattles with a peal of thunder. Vasili’s head snaps up and he locks onto my eyes.
“Well, don’t expect much in the way of technique, darling, because this is my first time cruising this particular highway,” he murmurs. “But I do intend to make you mine in every single way I can conceive of. Starting withthis.”
Then he lunges in like the viper he is and sinks his deadly little fangs deep in my breast.
The stinging shock burns through me, even more intense than Lucius’ bite. Lucius swears and Ronin struggles to restrain him and Neo sits straight up in alarm. Despite my own shock, I manage to send a pulse of reassurance to all of them through our bond.
