She shrugged. “Sure.”

She thought he would grab her around the waist, but he crouched, slid his forearm between her thighs and lifted her straight up. She flapped in panic, and Giovanni smiled as Thomas said, “Yup. Lighter.”

Richard smiled and peeled his clothing off. “Would you fly with me?”

“I didn’t think swans flew at night.”

“With you to protect me, I think I can manage it.”

Thomas set her back on her feet and grinned. “I am coming, too.”

She blinked, and they were naked. A moment later, there was a huge black swan and a raven standing on the dock.

Merry looked to Giovanni. “Will you hold my robe?”

He grinned. “Of course. Have fun.”

She untied it and slid it off, handing it to him. “Thank you.”

She looked at the other two. “Ready?”

They bobbed their heads. She walked to get clearance and launched herself skyward. She climbed high, and then the birds joined her. Their wings pumped, and eventually, they started drafting her. When she started doing barrel rolls, they fell behind, but she enjoyed herself.

She flew just over the water, trailing her fingers before approaching the dock and swinging upright. She swung upward toward the edge of the dock, stopped her glide, and dropped lightly to the wood. The wings folded in and settled in part of her soul, and she walked up to Giovanni. He held her robe for her, and she slid her arms into the sleeves. He turned her and bent to kiss her. She began to understand how simply massive he was. She threaded her fingers behind his neck, and he smiled against her lips and straightened.

He leaned his head back. “You have strong arms.”

“Muscle development was important for the wings.”

“It’s very good. How long can you hold yourself like this?”

She shrugged. “One minute? Two?”

He kissed her again, and as his tongue teased her, he slipped two fingers between her thighs. He worked one finger into her and then the second. Her grip changed, and she held onto him by her nails as he rubbed her clit with his thumb while his fingers slowly dipped and stroked as she made room for him. She mewled, she whined, she rubbed against him, and he continued until she gasped in shock as her sex locked around his fingers. She held her breath as he pulled his fingers nearly out of her, and then he thrust his fingers deep. She shrieked against his mouth, and he covered her lips and jaw with tiny kisses. “Easy, Merry.”

She groaned as the jolts continued on and on. When he finally set her on her feet, she shuddered, and her knees buckled. Richard and Thomas caught her, and when her shaking hands couldn’t close her robe, Richard supported her, and Thomas assisted her. She was soon decent and caught between two naked bodies. This felt like foreshadowing... again.

Ula saw the group silhouetted on the dock through the window. “Well, they will figure it out. Her firm limits are firm limits.”

Walter stroked her hip. “What about you, bunny?”

“Well, I am never waxing again. If anything grows back, it is going to be laser all the way.”

He let out a low snort. “Understood.”

She sighed. “We don’t mean to be trouble, but she has been taking care of herself for a long time, and then she took care of me and worked to make sure that I was able to deal with pain.”

“Drugs?”

“Meditation, yoga, and acupuncture.” She turned to him. “If we work out, you owe her. She saved my life. I thought the pain was too much to handle, and she kept me going.”

Kasim said, “So you were depressed?”

“Yes. Very.” She didn’t say anything else, but she could see that they understood.

Clark frowned. “Why didn’t she reach out for a healer?”
