“Fuck.” I arched my back.
“Let me hear you, sweetheart.”
I had no choice but to obey. Every nerve ending was hypersensitive, making me cry out with each hard thrust. Each slam against my prostate.
Briar stroked himself faster, chest rising and falling with his quick breaths. Our sexy voyeur. He leaned forward and kissed me just as I came, then joined me in release. The pressure of his lips softened as the last ripples of our orgasms waned, leaving our breaths ragged and muscles weak.
“Your turn, big guy.” I reached back and cradled his head.
Maddox tipped his head back and came with a soft groan. As his cock pulsed, I slowly rode him, being greedy for every last drop.
Afterward, we washed and dried off before cuddling together in bed, me in the middle.
“You two own my heart,” Maddox softly said, pressing his face into my hair. “I’d do anything to keep you safe. No matter the cost.”
“You’re such a sap,” Briar told him.
Maddox released a shaky laugh before turning my face to kiss me. As his lips met mine, soft and a bit lazy, I felt his exhaustion. My stubborn, overworked captain.
The two of them kissed each other good night, then dropped their lips to me, kissing my temple, cheek, jaw, and mouth. Thoughts buzzed in my head long after they’d fallen asleep, preventing me from doing the same. Worries about demons and the possible war with Haran. Hoping Oreo was okay.
Then, there was the weirdness with Callum. It made me antsy. Restless.
Lake came into the room sometime later and curled up in his favorite spot; his head on my belly. “Are you all right?”
“Yeah. It was just a long day.” I dropped a hand to his silky hair. “Where’s Rowan?”
“In the parlor,” he answered, keeping his tone soft. “He likes sleeping by the fire.”
I recalled Rowan’s cave in Exalos and the bedroll near the fire pit. As much as I wanted him beside me, I understood he was the type of person who needed to be alone sometimes. Needed to recharge his social batteries.
“He said to tell you he gets you tomorrow though,” Lake then added. “So enjoy the night with, and these are his words not mine, Specs and the grumpy asshole.”
I snorted, then slapped a hand over my mouth to keep from waking Briar and Maddox.
Lake nuzzled my hip bone. “Shall I sing to you?”
He read me so well. His voice always calmed the string of incessant thoughts that often kept me awake. “As much as I’d love that, I don’t want to wake these two.”
“Too late,” Maddox mumbled, eyes still closed. “That noise you made already woke us. Like a little piglet.”
Briar laughed. It was a sleepy, croaky sound.
“Wow,” I said. “I feel the love.”
“You have all of our love.” Briar smiled against my temple. “Always.”
“And you have mine,” I said, chin wobbling. “All of you do.”
“Go on then, wolf.” Maddox trailed his hand up my chest. I felt so delicate and small compared to him. “Ease our male’s restless mind so he’ll silence that mouth and go to sleep.”
“You never complain about my mouth when it’s around your cock.”
He smiled. “Another way to silence you.”
“Lord, you’re insufferable.”
“Yet, you love me regardless.”
