Page 124 of Seraphina (Castle Omega)

Tears of joy well in my eyes, overwhelmed by the love surrounding me. This moment, with my mates openly expressing their affection amidst the serene snowscape, feels surreal, yet it’s the most real experience I’ve ever had.

“I love you all more than words can ever express,” I respond, my heart overflowing with emotion. “You are my pack, my family, my everything. Together, we’re unstoppable.”

Our embrace, solid and comforting, is like a bastion against all the challenges of the world. As we eventually pull back fromthe hug, laughter and playful jostling take over, the joy of the moment utterly contagious. I seize the opportunity to pelt Avery with snowball after snowball, the rest of the pack eagerly joining in on the friendly onslaught.

The mage’s voice gently interrupts our snow day. “Time’s up,” she announces, though a hint of a smile plays on her lips. I can’t help but suspect she granted us a bit more than the promised half hour. Her next words bring a gleam to Max’s eyes. “I have orange Jell-O.”

Max practically sprints toward the door, his joy unmistakable. We all follow a bit more slowly, reluctantly leaving our snow-covered haven. The laughter and warmth of these moments have rekindled our spirits and solidified our bonds even more. Our snowman, standing alone outside, is a symbol of our shared love and unity, a testament to the joy we found together amidst the snowflakes.

Walking back into our pack medical suite no longer feels like a prison. I’m the last to wander inside as I push the door shut and lean against it.

Don’t over think it.

I flip the lock, sealing us inside.

“What are you doing, Seraphina?” Devlin, who was almost at his recliner, turns around at the sound of the lock flipping. His heavy-lidded stare burns through me as he faces me fully.

“I’m thinking we should take advantage of the next leg of the storm,” I muse aloud, glancing out the window. The snow, in its relentless dance, blots out the world with fat, fluffy flakes. I wonder if there’s even a need to draw the blinds.

It takes Devlin barely a moment to grasp my implication. In two swift strides, he’s standing before me, his eyes intensely searching my face for any hint of hesitation. He finds none. Not anymore.

Over a year has passed since I first asked Avery to ruin me. It feels fitting, almost poetic, to echo that sentiment now. “Ruin me, Devlin.”

His smile, a radiant blend of love and excitement, stretches across his lips. His hands, warm and reassuring, cup my face. He leans in slowly, deliberately, and kisses me. The kiss ignites a simmering arousal within me, causing my scent to permeate the room. Devlin’s tongue explores my mouth with a fervor that’s both tender and intense. As our tongues intertwine, I savor every aspect of him—the slight chip in his front tooth, the unique texture of his tongue.

Devlin kisses me the way he lives life—thoughtfully, thoroughly, and with genuine care. His lips move against mine in a rhythm that feels timeless, his hands tenderly caressing my face and neck. He draws back slightly, his breath a warm whisper against my skin. “Forever, princess,” he murmurs against my lips. “I promise you forever, in this life and the next.”

His words send my heart racing, my body pulsing with desire. Devlin’s gaze, intense and filled with a blend of passion and tenderness, captivates me. Every touch, every kiss, is heavy with the weight of his love, his need for me.

His hands, still tenderly framing my face, glide down my neck, leaving a trail of goosebumps. The tingling sensation ignites a fire within me, a hunger that demands to be satiated. My body instinctively arches toward him, craving more of his touch.

Devlin’s lips find their way to my neck, each kiss sending shivers down my spine. His breath, warm and inviting, makes me yearn for more. I tilt my head, offering him unhindered access, surrendering to the pleasure he stirs in me.

With each kiss, he slowly peels off my saturated clothing, piece by agonizing piece. My hands mirror his actions, my eyes occasionally drifting over his shoulder. Ashton leans against thenearest wall, his coat and shoes already discarded. He’s dressed in just a pair of soft sweats and a shirt, his gaze heated and patient as he silently waits to join us.

Behind him, Avery and Max are in their own world, their gazes locked. A breathless anticipation fills the air as their lips finally meet in a kiss brimming with desperation.

Devlin’s hands continue their exploratory journey down my body, caressing every inch of my exposed skin. His fingertips press gently, yet firmly, against my sensitive flesh, sending electric jolts straight to my core. Time seems to suspend itself, allowing him to both eagerly and reverently strip away not just my clothes, but any remaining inhibitions.

I surrender to the intoxicating bliss that Devlin stirs within me, immersing myself in the moment. His touch grows bolder, his control over my body more assertive, as his fingers trace a tantalizing path along my curves. My skin tingles under his caresses, aching for more. The intensity of our connection escalates, fueling a feverish desire that threatens to engulf us completely.

His lips trail a fiery path down my neck, each kiss igniting a spark within. When his teeth graze my bond mark, it’s like a direct line of fire to my core. A soft moan escapes me, a testament to the overwhelming pleasure he invokes.

Ashton’s gaze captures mine, holding a mix of hunger and adoration. He steps closer, shedding his clothing with a tantalizing slowness that heightens the room’s electric anticipation. Avery and Max, lost in their passionate embrace, mirror our own escalating desires.

Devlin’s touch intensifies, his fingers drawing erotic patterns across my fevered skin. I arch toward him, seeking closeness and craving the release that only he can bring. His lips find mine again, the urgency in his kiss pushing me toward the brink of reason.

In a surge of unbridled need, I impulsively push Devlin against the nearest wall, our bodies molding together as we become utterly lost in our kiss. Lifting me effortlessly, he moves toward a chair in the room. Our lips remain fiercely connected as he takes a seat, and I instinctively straddle him. Cool air kisses my naked flesh, and yet Devlin radiates heat, warming me.

Ashton presses a soft, reverent kiss to my shoulder, adding another layer of intensity to the moment. His lips trail kisses down my shoulder then back up, and he takes care to trace his tongue over each individual bond mark. The room is steeped in profound silence, broken only by the deepening of our collective need, which is amplified through our pack bond. My arousal perfumes into the air, sweet and sharp, and with it, pheromones that cause the men surrounding me to growl with desire. I absorb each moan of pleasure and excitement from them, savoring their response.

Pulling away from Devlin, I turn my attention to Ashton, kissing him with the same fervor. Every touch, every shared moan becomes a point of heightened awareness. Ashton’s lips crash against mine, his hunger mirroring my own. His hands grip my waist, drawing me closer, our kiss a fervent maelstrom of need. The mingling of his taste with the lingering scent of Devlin on my skin sends waves of pleasure through me.

Devlin, his gaze dark and filled with unspoken desires, reaches out. His hand finds Ashton’s neck, drawing him even closer to me. Our tongues intertwine in a passionate, fervent dance, exploring each other with insatiable hunger.

Leaning into Ashton’s embrace, I feel Devlin’s hands on my hips. A shiver of anticipation runs through me as our lips collide in a kiss that’s both desperate and deeply hungry. The sensation of being caught between both men, their skin against mine, ignites a blazing inferno of desire within me.

Devlin’s hands travel over the expanse of my naked back, tracing each curve and contour, while Ashton’s hands urge me closer to Devlin, his touch both tender and commanding. The room ripples with our mingled moans, a symphony of pleasure reverberating off the walls, each note echoing the depth of our connection.
