My heart was no longer in one piece, but in millions of dust like particles that were now trapped into the two beings I loved most. Vesper's eyes fluttered open, her gaze soft and hazy. She reached behind her, her fingers tangling in my hair, her touch tender and loving. "I can feel you," she whispered, her voice hoarse from her screams of pleasure. "Both of you. Inside me. Not just... physically." Oryx chuckled, a deep rumble in his chest. "That's the magik, pet. We're bound now. The three of us. Forever. Right, Veylor?" He nuzzled her neck, his horns gently brushing against her cheek. I leaned in, kissing the bite mark on her shoulder. She sighed into me, her body melting against us. I could feel Oryx's contentment, his satisfaction mirroring my own. It was a strange sensation; everything was so much more vibrant. I could feel them before, but now it came to me so strongly it almost hurt. We were all truly one now, our fates intertwined, our lives forever bound.
“Yes, it is. The natural magik of this realm is stronger than any other,” I whispered. “The bonding magik that is.”
Vesper hummed in reply, her head tilted to look above us. “Where is your heart? It isn’t there?” she asked, slightly panicked.
I traced my fingers along her arm, feeling the warmth beneath her skin. "My heart has found a better home." My hand extended to Oryx, fingers curling around his forearm. "That organ was merely a vessel holding fragments of who I was, a tether others could use to bend the lich within me to their will. But now…" I paused, my voice softening as I looked between them, "…you've taken those fragments and breathed life into them. You've become the beating center of my existence. Today I have lost nothing, instead, I've gained everything."
Vesper sniffed and wiped away a tear.This lich is so damn sweet.
Oryx’s happiness radiated but soon it was filled with lust.Fuck, I’m horny again.As we lay there, entwined in each other's arms, I couldn't help but feel a sense of peace wash over me. For the first time in my life, I felt complete. I had found my home, my family. And I would do everything in my power to protect it. But for now, I simply reveled in the sensation of our shared love, our shared pleasure. Tomorrow would bring its own challenges about her newfound family, how our triad will work, but for this morning, this moment, we were content to simply be …together.
Oryx
Vesper has been awake for some time. I waited silently as I watched her. The only helpful thing about not having eyeballs is that no one knows if I am sleeping or if I am awake.
She was fiddling with her fingers, thinking about conjuring shadows as Veylor does.
She’d expected to gain some kind of shared power, like the fated mates she’d read about in Earth’s books. But so far, no shadow abilities had appeared.
Not yet anyway.
Thank the Shadows that she does not have any of my looks or a cock between her legs. I would miss her pussy far too much.
Instead, she is content, happy even as she brushes Veylor’s hair away from his face. Her other hand is resting on my tail that is wrapped around her breast, her thumb tickling the tip.
“Do you have any powers?”My chest rumbles against her back.
Her cheek moves enough for me to tell there is a smile on her face.“Just to tame your little beast.”She moved her hips to grind against me.
“My little beast isn’t little,”I growled and licked behind her ear.
Her giggles faded as she turned to face me, eyes wide with wonder. "Your thoughts—I heard them. Clear as a bell." She pressed her palm against her cheek, voice dropping to an awed whisper. "I wasn't even trying to listen, but there they were." She tapped one finger against her temple, brow furrowed. "It wasn't your voice I heard with my ears. It was... inside me. Like your thoughts just appeared in my mind."
My ears perked up.“Can you hear me now?”I licked my maw.
My pet’s mouth opened into a big smile. “I can! You aren’t even moving your jaw. I do have magik!”
I shook my head and nuzzled into her neck. It was the smallest form of magik, at least to Veylor and me. I had strength through the various animals and beings I was stitched together with, the incubus horns helped with probing memories. Vesper must have obtained her ability to speak to each of us through thoughts by our combined powers, since we both had abilities.
What else though? Time will tell.
“Have you gotten anything?” Vesper’s hand cradled the side of my skull.
Veylor's chest rumbled with a deep snore, his face slack and unguarded in sleep. I caught Vesper's eye and we shared a silent moment of surprise. The fierce lich we knew had transformed into something so vulnerable. With us.
“I don’t think it is any power I have received, but I have found something in Veylor’s memories. Something locked away deep that he never wants us to see.”
I hung my skull and rubbed it against Vesper’s face.
While Veylor said he would tell us in his own time, his memories were a jumbled mess, and loud when I woke. I couldn’t help but watch it play out in front of me.
Vesper laid her head back down on my arm and stared up at me.“Want to talk about it?”
“I don’t want you to look at him differently, which, I don’t think you would, but he fears it.”
Vesper raised one eyebrow.“I won’t look at him differently. He beats himself up too much.”She turned to look at him.“In fact, I think I’m getting a lot of heaviness in my chest.” She rubbed between her breasts.“Is that guilt? His guilt?”
I nodded.“You are feeling him. Our souls are all one now, connected. From what I gather from his memories and what bonds mean… we will all know each other very well.”
