Chapter 51
EMME
When Kellan reluctantly left me, Finley was there so fast that I bounced on the bed under him as he pounced. He captured my lips, and the kiss was one of those slow, intense touches that had me forgetting that anything else in the world existed.
Finley released my mouth and slid his hands under my ass to drag me completely beneath him, his broad chest blocking out the world. He smiled softly at me. “Hello, darlin’,” he said, and thrust inside me in one firm movement.
My oversensitive core spasmed, and I wrapped my arms and legs around him, holding on. Finley was always powerful and controlled during sex, but today there was an additional element to his thrusts, an almost animalistic drive, as he got caught up in the need to claim his mate.
His desperate, unhinged expression had my walls clenched hard around him. Whenever these alphas unraveled from my touch, it turned me on like nothing else.
“Fin,” I cried, my nails digging into his shoulders. His eyes locked on mine, and his obscene lashes did nothing to hide the swirling whiskey depths. “I love you,” he declared. “I will always love you.”
The building tide of pleasure exploded, but Finley held my gaze and I couldn’t close my eyes. “I love you so much,” I sobbed as my overstimulated and tender body fell apart.
Finley groaned out my name, and there was a spark of his bear as he partially shifted. His jaw elongated right as he leaned down to claim me beside Kellan’s mark. My wolf pushed up so I could claim him back, swirls of magic and shifter essence rising around us.
In my essence, Grouchy Bear stepped up to join our pack.
The beasts nuzzled and frolicked together, and when Finley’s bear ran his paws all over my wolf, as if to reassure himself that we were together once more, I started to cry.
Finley’s eyes were shiny too. “Fuck, that feels like coming home,” he whispered, and that was exactly how it felt for me too.
Kellan, uncaring that his brother was dick deep in me, leaned over and kissed me right on the lips.
“Have I told you how pretty you are when you come?” he murmured.
“I could watch that pink flush spread over your luscious tits and up to your throat all damn day.” His pupils dilated.
“Your freckles pop and your eyes turn into this piercing blue.” He groaned, pressing his lips to mine again, as if he couldn’t help himself.
“I’m getting hard just thinking about it. ”
This was the point Finley had had enough, nudging him away. “My turn, annoying pup.”
With a huff, Kellan pointed his finger at his brother. “Only Hunter gets to call me that, and only because he’s our entitled alpha. I will beat your ass.”
There was that glint of steel in our Golden, and Finley knew well enough to heed the warning.
“Enough.”
That snap from Slade shut them both down in an instant. Kellan reluctantly retreated and Finley slid from my body, after giving me one last kiss.
At this point I was a mess, my core ached, and there was cum everywhere. None of which appeared to bother Slade as he pressed his palms against my stomach, holding me in place. “Mine,” he murmured in the same tone as his last barked command.
Talon sidled beside him, and I stared up at my dragons with all my love and need.
“Yours,” I confirmed, and all the beasts of the quintet howled or bellowed, their voices joining us.
“Ours,” Talon and Hunter countered.
Slade’s hands wrapped around my thighs as he slowly dragged me toward the edge of the massive bed where he stood. I ended up on my knees before him, and taking the opportunity to freely touch him, I traced my fingers over the dragons on his chest.
Pausing at the dark space between them. More evidence of our bond breaking.
Slade captured my chin in his hand, tilting my face up so I could see him fully. “It will return,” he said in that low vibration of male and dragon.
“I need it back, and I need our bond too.” My fingertips brushed down to his nipples, the rings catching on my nails.
Slade’s husky rasp reminded me that he enjoyed a bite of pain in his pleasure.
I dug my nails into the ridges of cut abdominal muscles.
Talon was too far away, so I waved him closer, and when I had them both before me, I explored as I’d done during our last claiming, and they let me touch until I had my fill.
My attention was eventually fixated on the thick beads of pre-cum dripping from the slit of their dicks, poking above their boxer briefs. Needing them fully naked, I hooked my fingers in the elastic and pulled them down.
“She chose with and without hardware,” Kellan murmured to Finley, and he’d get no argument from me.
Grouchy snorted. “I don’t know how they don’t break her.”
“Shut the fuck up,” Hunter growled, “before your asses get fried.”
I wanted to laugh at their antics, but two dragons held me in place with their sheer energy. Their beasts thundered in their chests, and when I was locked in their unwavering focus, there was no concentrating on anything else.
With their erections freed, I moved on to exploring the long lengths, pressing my nails into the thick vein that ran along the underside, before gentling my touch again.
Talon was the first to snap. He lifted me from the bed and hauled me against his chest. My legs enclosed around his stomach and he released a satisfied purr.
“You fucking destroy me.” His arms shook and it wasn’t from a physical weakness.
“I’ve never known a love like this, not even for my twin.
Please, never break us again. It would be my end. ”
My heart splintered into what felt like dozens of pieces, and there was nothing I could do but make him a promise. “Never again. No matter what. We’re stronger and safer together.”
Talon’s head tilted back to the ceiling, as if he prayed to the goddess. When he was done, he slid one hand into my hair, applying pressure to draw me into a kiss. “I love you, Honey,” he whispered, and there was more green in his eyes today than I’d ever seen before.
“I love you too, Tal.” I rocked against him, needing to ease the ache.
Talon turned me so that I was captured between him and Slade, and his twin took my weight, holding my legs open so Talon could press against my aching core.
It took a minute for him to push through tight muscles to fully seat himself.
My head fell back against Slade’s chest, my hips tilting to change the angle slightly.
Talon slid his thumb around my clit until I moaned and arched.
Using cum as lube once more, Slade coated my ass, and his fingers slid inside me first.
It felt so fucking good. When his cock parted my ass cheeks, my cunt clenched around Talon.
“Not going to last long today,” he warned his twin, while staring right into my eyes. “You feel so fucking good, mate. All snug and warm, wrapped around my dick.”
My chest heaved, and in the silence, all we could hear was Kellan’s pained groan in the background. Finley laughed as he said, “That praise wasn’t for you, moron.”
Kellan groaned again, and I was so turned on to know they were enjoying watching me get fucked by their brothers. This was the first time we’d all been in a room together, and the proximity sent tingles through my throbbing clit.
Slade and Talon adjusted me until I was exactly how they wanted me between them. “Ready, Emmeline?” Slade asked, and I could only groan and nod.
“Words,” Talon growled. “We need your words, sweetheart.”
“Yes,” I cried. “Holy shit. Please move or I might die. I need you both to fuck me. Please.”
Kellan wasn’t the only one to groan—even Hunter’s scent exploded. He certainly loved it when I begged.
Thankfully, for all of our sanities, the dragons were done proving their ability to restrain themselves.
They started to move together, and while their experience with sex was minimal, their instinct was next-level.
They knew the perfect force and rhythm to thrust into me, hitting all the right spots, until I couldn’t breathe, think, or focus.
They were just so big. The sensation of being this full was almost too much to handle.
The build was slow, as I wrapped one hand around Slade’s arm, and the other around Talon’s shoulder.
They held out longer than the other alphas, but not by much.
When I clenched around them and cried out, the air turned electric as they shifted and bit into me, Slade first, and then Talon, who appeared to be positioned a little left of his original mark.
Slade palmed the back of my head and situated me so I could bite Talon, but when I was about to mark his throat, he tilted his head. “Different this time,” he huffed. “Let’s erase the bad memories.”
I understood now why he had shifted his position—he didn’t want us to be reminded of our first time. “Our new beginning,” I whispered, while sinking my teeth in, my wolf right there with me.
Talon’s dragon roared into the sky, and when he joined the quintet essence, I tore my teeth from him so I could bite Slade’s throat.
As soon as the final dragon stepped into our bond, voices filled my head, and unlike last time, all I felt was joy.
Mate! Kellan cried, his beast howling with him.
Mate, I replied as tears slipped silently down my cheeks.
Yeah, I was crying again, but fuck.
The twins held me for a long time after we’d sealed our bond, giving me all the time I needed to move through the earthshattering feeling of having them back.
When I rested my head against Talon’s chest, he leaned down and pressed a kiss to my temple.
You okay, baby girl? Hunter asked, always needing to check on me.
“It’s hard to believe this is real,” I whispered. “Our bond feels stronger than ever, our energy and essences are blending seamlessly once more, and the witch is dead.”
Slade stole my attention from his twin by taking my weight off Talon so I was wrapped only in his arms. I’d told all my alphas I loved them during the bonding except him, and I was just opening my mouth to rectify that when he wrapped me up so tightly I couldn’t breathe.
“I will protect you for the rest of my existence, Snow,” he said, and the crack in his tone hit me right in my heart.
“I will also kill and die for you without hesitation. You’re the purest, most perfect thing I’ve ever claimed, and I will never hurt you.
” He sucked in a ragged breath, and I had to be mistaken, but he almost sounded nervous.
“I’ve never said these words before, but I believe I finally understand their strength. I love you.”
My heart stuttered and I tilted my head to an angle so I could see him, and the calm openness on his face. “I love you,” he repeated with more force. “Now and always.”
I wiggled until he released me, because I wanted to face him. “I love you so much,” I told him fiercely, the tears still falling. “So damn much, Slade Riverson. But please don’t ever die for me.”
None of you are allowed to die, I reiterated through the bond, in case our beasts needed to hear it as well.
“We will never leave you,” Hunter promised as he moved closer.
Kellan and Finley moved in as well, until I was surrounded by my alphas.
My five very naked alphas.
Thank you, goddess. Someone send her a gift basket and nicely worded letter, because she had delivered my perfect forever.
Our forever. In our bond, the beasts were snuggled as close as we were out here, and I knew I’d forever be grateful that when I’d run, they’d caught me.
And they would again.
Each and every time.
