He lunged over them slowly at first, though it wasn’t long before he picked up the pace and force with which he seated himself inside Legend over and over. It wasn’t a sexual marathon like some of the times they’d come together, but the truth was, none of them could withstand passion that intense for long.

Bliss mixed with affection to form a combination so potent, resisting its effect was futile.

“Karolena! Tavish!” Legend roared. “It’s too good.”

“No, it’s perfect.” Tavish smacked his ass once, hard. Then he studied Karolena as if judging how close she was. She nodded at him, clinging to the razor’s edge of rapture as their pleasure drove her own.

Legend warned, “If you don’t stop—”

“You’re going to fill her pussy up?” Tavish shoved him over the edge with his filthy mouth. “Come so hard you wring every last drop of come from my balls with your sweet ass?”

“Yeah. That.” Legend drew so tight, his muscles coiled, that Tavish essentially used him to fuck her too. Every slap of his torso on Legend’s ass shoved Legend’s cock into her.

But it was the desperate cry that Legend gave when he surrendered, emptying himself within her that triggered her own orgasm. Its power shocked her, though not enough to become oblivious to Tavish, who launched into a flurry of frantic strokes before pumping his own release deep into Legend.

After the first tsunami of rapture hit them all, it was followed by gradually lessening waves they rode with slow grinds and flexes. Only when Legend’s cock softened enough that he slipped from her pussy did he shift and Tavish with him.

They ended up lying on either side of her, boneless as they floated while staring up at the stars. Karolena let her worries drift away as she contemplated her place in the universe and how lucky she’d been to wind up there, on a rooftop in the middle of a town she’d never known existed, happier than she’d ever dreamed she could be.

A long time later, Tavish reached for the blanket at the foot of the bed. “Are you cold?”

“Between the two of you?” She huffed out a laugh. “Not possible.”

Still, he drew up the cover and tucked them in together.

Legend still hadn’t budged. She laid her cheek on his chest and patted it. “What are you thinking about?”

He shook his head as if it was nothing, but the furrow of his brow made her sure it was something.

“We made Tavish come clean, so you should too.” She raked her teeth over his nipple, making him jerk.

“Just thinking how much more critical things are now than on some random mission. And they’re already pretty steep then.” He sighed. “I’ve never wanted to come home to something so badly before.”

Karolena’s heart skipped a beat. If she were only an assignment to them they wouldn’t give a shit about what happened after it was over. But he was right. Her piece of shit ex wasn’t someone to mess with. Suddenly she did need the blanket after all.

“Maybe he’s already forgotten about me. He has bigger things to worry about.”

“You have no idea how special you are. Even now.” Tavish stroked his fingers through her hair. “Don’t worry, I hope we’ll have a long, long time to show you.”

“Seriously, though…” Karolena lost a bit of her buzz. “He’s evil and without qualms. He’ll cut you down without a second thought.”

Legend rolled onto his side so he could peer down at her. “Tavish trusted us. Now you need to have some faith in him and me. We’ve taken down plenty of fuckers as bad as Vladimir or worse. We’ll eliminate this problem for you, permanently, even if it is the last thing we do.”

“It would be worth it to ensure your safety for good even if we weren’t around to share it with you,” Tavish agreed.

“Not to me.”

“Let’s not think about that tonight. Morning’s coming soon enough. I don’t want to deal with it until we leave at first light.” Legend nuzzled his nose against her cheek.

Karolena stiffened. “So soon?”

“Vladimir will be expecting his soldier back. We’re going to have to move quickly,” Tavish informed her. She should have considered that but they’d occupied her every thought.

“And come back to me just as fast?” She hated being needy.

“You still don’t think we’re serious about you?” Legend tipped his head.

“No, you convinced me of that. Now I’m afraid I won’t be able to handle it if something happens to either of you, especially if it’s because of me.”
