I went blind, all my vision disappearing in a blaze of pleasure. He didn’t stop, and neither did Ban, catching me in a firestorm of bliss, carrying me back and forth between tongue and cock, each movement drawing out the pleasure until I was gasping.

“Yes,” I managed somehow. “Yes.”

Christine’s mates had claimed her, and she loved it. I wanted that too. Would Ariel bite me? Or was there a different way for a spirit to mark someone as their mate?

Opening my eyes once more, Laurent was still sitting on the bed, watching me. His hand moved between his legs, stroking slowly and steadily.

My face flushed. How many times had I imagined that exact thing? The way his forearms would tighten as he fucked his fist. The way his abs would flex as he came. I never imagined that he would look at me likethat.

Pure possession. He owned me with a single look. Not a hint of hesitation about the fact that I was being utterly fucked—just patience, knowing his turn was coming.

Like he knew my thoughts his mouth curved into a smirk, and it sent me over the edge again, my body crushing down on Ariel’s cock. He swore, heat filling me deep as he came.

I wasn’t completely on the ground anymore. I was floating in Ariel’s mist before he rested me on my feet, still inside me. Ban rose in a smooth movement, licking his lips with that impossibly long tongue. He was hard too, his cock trapped between our two bodies as he stepped closer.

Every hair on my body stood on end. My nipples hardened and muscles tensed. He was my mate, and a predator. Everything in me knew it, and wanted more. His purr still vibrated between us, and I wondered if he could get me off with that purr. Like a living vibrator.

“You’re the best thing I’ve ever tasted, kitten.” the words were low, brushing over my skin like velvet. “It makes me want to eat you alive.”

I shivered, not sure if he meant my pussy orme. It didn’t matter, because I was turned on by his words. He couldn’t hurt me—not as his mate. I was entirely safe with him, but the danger brought an edge forward that I liked.

Ariel guided me forward, hand in my hair, cock still inside me, over to Laurent. “She’s all yours.” He was offering me like a present, and I loved it as much as I rebelled against it.

He pulled out of me, and I whirled as soon as my toes hit the floor. “I’m not an object you can give away.”

Eyes narrowed, he came so close that his nose brushed mine. “Is that so?”

One hand came up to grip my hair while the other slipped between my legs, two fingers inside me where I was still filled with his cum.

“I seem to remember a dream,” he whispered in my ear.

I gasped. He’d been real. When I’d seen him across the stage and he’d been touching me at the same time. He’d been in my dream and seen everything. “No.”

“Yes, mate. A perk of being a spirit. And I saw exactly what you wanted in that dream. I saw my mate completely immobilized. And I saw her taken by all four of us, ineveryhole. Without choice and without relief, until we were finished with you. Until you couldn’t taste, feel, or see anything but us.”

My pussy clamped down on his fingers and he laughed softly, kissing the corner of my mouth just like he’d done then. “Can’t lie to me with my fingers in your cunt, Meg.”

“It was just a dream.”

“We’ll talk about your lying—and your desires—when you’re not tripping on the world’s most potent aphrodisiac. But right now, I’m giving you to Laurent so he can fuck you the way you’ve always wanted him to.”

A whimper came out of me. He was right. I wanted it. There was nothing Ididn’twant from them. And even his still fingers inside me were enough to make me shudder.

All at once he stepped away, and stone claws scraped gently down my back before a strong arm pulled me backward and laid me out on the bed.

“Problem?” Laurent asked, body suddenly over mine.

I shook my head. There was definitely no problem with this. Another thing I’d imagined more times than I could count. Now I was looking up at him, and it was about to be real.

Grabbing his shoulders, I pulled him down to me and kissed him, hooking my leg over his hip. A growl ripped out of him, and I felt his weight shift as parts of him turned to stone and back.

He looked between our bodies, reaching to line himself up with me. Laurent looked back in time to lock eyes with me as he entered my body, and I knew I would never forget this moment as long as I lived.

I placed a hand on his chest, just breathing. We stared at each other, each breath stretching into infinity. I never thought it would happen, and now that it had, emotion pricked my eyes. All of this was perfect. Everything I could have asked for.

Finally, I was the center of someone’s world. But not just one—four of them. Four mates I already knew were ready to fight and die for me.

One move from Laurent, and I was suddenly coming. The friction of him inside as his cock grew and hardened beyond flesh was too much. Every stone inch fit into my body, and I loved it. He was trying so hard to control himself and not let himself loose.
