Jace collapses on to the bed first, with Fern on top of him, kissing him like he’s the only man on the planet. Griffin falls to his knees behind her, spreading her legs wide so he can get a taste of her. My cock is rock solid as I watch her writhe in endless pleasure. Fuck, she is even hotter when she’s like that, all unhinged and wild. Free and excitable, enjoying the beautiful chaos of this glorious moment.

I want her, I need her, and I feel like I have been waiting the longest to have her. As I climb on to the bed and over her as she rolls of Jace, I’m twitching and aching all over.

“I want you, Fern,” I say as I take her cheeks in my hand and I crash my lips down to kiss hers. “I need you. You have no idea how crazy you make me.”

The other men are all around her, touching and kissing her, making sure she is in heaven, but it’s my cock she has her hand wrapped around, guiding me towards where I want her the most. I can’t stop staring at her, watching her as she slides me within her. The wetness I felt when I touched her clit before is nothing like how soaking she is right now.

“Oh fuck,” I cry out as I crumble into Fern’s arms. “Fuck, that feels good.”

She holds me, kissing me all over as each thrust becomes more intense than the last. All the eyes on us actually feels good. Watching other hands cup her breasts and caress her only adds to this glorious feeling. All of this is taboo and I love this.

Fern’s body starts to react before I do. She tenses up, clamping around me, her breaths becoming sharper and more intense. Her hands grip my shoulders tightly as she starts to really lose herself in pleasure. Now, while she’s at her most vulnerable, I can only see her. It’s like no one else even exists. It’s only me and her.

“Fuck, Roddrur,” she cries out as one of my thrusts tips her over the edge and into oblivion. “You…you…” She’s so breathless, she can’t even finish that thought.

I can’t even see anymore, the burning hot bliss has blurring my eyesight. All I can do is slide into her body further, to really embrace the glory of the moment I have only fantasized about. But the fantasy is nothing compared to reality. I never knew an orgasm could feel likethis. I never want this glorious heat to end. I never want to let go of this beautiful woman in my arms.

It’s like a tsunami, the waves shocking and powerful, practically consuming me. There is nothing connecting me to the planet anymore, only her. Nothing on the planet matters but Fern. She is everything to me, more so than she ever has been before. Now Iknowthat I am in love. I suspected it before, but now I know that I will die for her if I have to. I will give her all of me, risk it all just so I can experience this for the rest of my life.

“I love you, Fern. I love you.”

“You do?” she whispers. “You love me?”

I nod nervously. I’m sure I’ve just made an already very complicated situation even more complex. I might have destroyed it all before we even have the chance to see what this can be. I brace myself for an awkward conversation, but it doesn’t happen. Fern has already been swept into Jace’s arms. Maybe I shouldn’t be so excited about this, but I am.

GRIFFIN

I’m blown away by everything that happened in Jace’s apartment all night long. Thank God he lives in an isolated area, or we wouldn’t have done a very good job of hiding. We were so noisy, so free, so excitable. It was crazy, but officially the best night of my life so far.

But I have no idea what it means. It could just be us getting it out of our systems, it could just be Fern throwing caution to the wind and having the best night of her life, or it could be her trying to choose. She can’t have all of us, can she? I don’t know how that would work, especially with some of us being dragons and the others wolves.

I have basically been up all night trying to figure it out, and I still don’t know. All I’m sure of is that it felt really good. I didn’t want it to stop, and I really don’t think anyone else did either.

I watch as Fern’s eyes flutter open. I don’t know how she’s going to react to seeing me next to her the morning after, but, thankfully, she grins like it’s a pleasure to get to see me. Her smile lights up the whole freaking room.

“Morning,” she whispers. “How are you?”

I reach out my hand to her and she takes it. We slip out of the bed together while everyone else continues to sleep. I feel like I have a duty to check in on her, to make sure she’s feeling okay. We gather up our clothing on the way out, to hurriedly cover ourselves up.

“Come on, let’s go get some breakfast,” I tell her. “I checked when we got in and Jace has a surprisingly well-stocked kitchen.”

She giggles as she tucks a stray strand of hair behind her ear. “Well, that sounds nice, but I can’t stay for too long. I don’t want to be late for work.”

“You’re still going in to work today?” I ask, shocked. “You can’t. Not after what happened yesterday. It’s way too dangerous. I don’t want you to get hurt.”

“I don’t have any choice. I have to go to work.” She smiles and shrugs. “Brian gave me a job during the hardest time of my life. When I was being pushed out of my own pack because things weren’t exactly going well for me. I have always loved my job and I don’t want to lose it now because of one stupid incident.”

I give her a look. We both know it was much more than a stupid incident. I saw the fight happening after the gunshot, and it was terrible. Terrifying actually. That Madison seriously tried to shove Fern off the boat was horrible to see.

“Well, if you are so determined to go to work today, then I will be coming with you. I’m not leaving you at risk when we don’t knowwhatthe Nightshade Hunters are planning.”

“You can’t come,” she insists. “You’re a dragon. It seems like those guys are out for your blood more than mine now. You have to stay hidden here at Jace’s place.”

“Well, there is no way in hell I’m letting you go alone.”

“Lettingme?” She cocks an eyebrow at me. “So, after last night, you think you own a part of me? Is that what’s happening here?”
