Jade

“Mine, all mine…”

The low down, guttural growl, it felt like it vibrated through me, right down to my core. It went beyond the sexual and into something far more vulnerable. I couldn’t help but search his face for the truth of it. I’d been hurt and tricked, and I couldn’t bear to have that happen again. But where those dark eyes might contain stars, even galaxies, they didn’t hide secrets. That tentative smile that grew bolder by the second; it made everything clear.

“And you’re mine.” I traced down the severe line of his cheekbone, his head dipping sideways to press a kiss to my fingertips, right before he surged forward. “Shit…!” I was full, so damn full, and he’d only pushed the tip in.

“Breathe,” he commanded and my lungs obeyed, filling with air and then expelling it. “Now take a deeper breath in, until I say to stop.” My lungs felt like a balloon inflating, becoming fuller and fuller until he gave the order. “Now let it out.”

As the air rushed out, he stabbed in. One pearl then another forced inside me, making my whole body thrash. I clampeddown without thought and was instantly rewarded. Those hard little pearls started to rub against something that felt amazing, creating waves of deep, deep pleasure that threatened to drown me.

“Having difficulties taking our fearless leader?” Carrick asked, grinning down at me when I looked up hazily. “Perhaps you need something to distract you?”

He eased his cock down so the head brushed my lips. They parted in reaction, my tongue sweeping over the swollen head, collecting the salty taste of him as I was rewarded by the sound of his moan. And he was right: I didn’t think about how tightly I was stretched around Graven as Carrick eased himself deeper.

“Open up…” he crooned. “Just like that. There’s a good girl. You’ve let us in and you’ll never get us back out again. Now, Fledgling, get to pleasing our girl.”

“Already there,” Seneca snapped as he slid down on the bed beside me. I pulled my mouth free, panting as his hand roamed all over my body, then settled on my clit.

“Gods…” Graven groaned as I clamped down tight. “My pearls are pressing down…”

“And it’ll only get worse,” Seneca said before grinning. “Or better.”

“Eyes back here, lass.” My head swivelled around obediently and Carrick rewarded me with a smile. “Now, where were we…?”

I fell into a strange, timeless space made up only of pleasure. Sucking Carrick’s dick as Graven eased himself slowly deeper, panting each time a pearl popped in, that feeling of fullness multiplying. As my tongue traced the shape of every pearl down the length of Carrick’s shaft, Graven’s rubbed back and forth inside me with a maddening rhythm that was slowly driving me insane. Seneca’s fingers slid through my sopping folds, teasing my clit initially and then when I’d warmed up a bit, pinching down to force sharp explosions of pleasure from me that had myhips jerking and twitching. And they rode every wave of my body with expert ease, until we were no longer the four of us, but one multi-limbed organism.

“Gods, you’re fucking taking all of me…”

“Your mouth feels like wet velvet, lass. I’ll be waking you every night for more.”

“She’s getting close. Bring her to her climax and then it's my turn.”

“Got ideas, fledgling? That’s dangerous.”

“Jade needs pleasure, more pleasure. Everything’s been hurting her too damn much, but that’s not going to be us.”

“Not us,” the other two agreed.

“You’re going to come for me now, Jade.” I felt like I was swimming up, up to the surface, against a velvety undertow that wanted to suck me deeper. “Because when you do, for just a second you’ll open right up and then I’ll be as deep as I can inside you.” Graven let out a ragged laugh. “And then you’ll never be rid of me. I’ve held back all this time for good reason.”

My eyes flicked open then, meeting his, seeing his tense expression, the pleasure so intense it felt like pain in his eyes.

“But not anymore,” I whispered.

“Not anymore,” he agreed. “Now, my beautiful girl.” He moved faster, delved deeper and that deep pleasure started to swell. “Give me the one thing I need. You can do that for me. Give me that, Jade.”

My hand reached up, swivelling up and down Carrick’s length, his cock leaking seed on my skin that burned everywhere it hit. But that didn’t matter, because I was already on fire. Graven was the spark that set me off. But as I moved, they moved, the flames rose higher and higher, casting the room in almost hellish light. When I looked up, I saw us reflected in the mirror above the bed, one soft, pale body and three hard, grey ones, writhing, shifting, rutting against each other. I closed myeyes in bliss, and when I opened them again, I saw another image. Me, riding a different man, a male, rather: Wulfstan’s wings spread out like a banner across the bed, his hands forcing my hips to rise and fall. I could feel the spear of his cock deep inside me, even as I felt Graven’s.

“Graven…”

There was something tremulous in my voice and he surged forward and over me, replacing the dream-like image on the ceiling with just him.

“Here, love, I’m always going to be here. I’ll always be by your side, no matter what you choose to do, as long as you choose me.”

And that’s all it took.
