Epilogue - Jasmine
It was the first day of autumn. Leaves were just starting to turn color, winds were getting colder as they swept down the mountain, and the harvest was well underway. Considering how late everything had been planted, we had a bounteous crop to get us through the winter.
But today was a festival day. There’d be no work, and I was still in bed, surrounded by my four alphas.
I ran my hands up Jace’s thighs, enjoying the way his strong muscles flexed beneath my hands. I knelt on the bed, with Jace leaning on the headboard. He groaned, his head thrown back in ecstasy as I took him deep in my mouth. The musky salt of his arousal burst on my tongue.
Renz knelt behind me, carefully worked his well-lubed fingers in and out of my ass, his thumb running lazy circles around my clit.
He rubbed his large cock across my pussy every so often, causing fresh heat to pool inside of my core.
The fingers inside of me curled and twisted, finding new ways to hit the spots inside of me that made my thighs quake.
Killian lay half beneath me, his head on Jace’s knees, mouthing my breasts as I moved back and forth to give Jace pleasure.
My nipples tightened under his attention, and pleasant shivers of heat swept through my body.
His hands moved over my belly on one side and up my neck on the other, occasionally pushing a finger between the lips that wrapped around Jace’s cock.
He swirled that finger around my tongue, and I answered by running my tongue over both the finger and the tip of Jace’s cock. Every time I did, Jace’s hips lifted off the bed.
Owen’s hand rested on the small of my back as he stretched out beside me.
He nibbled at my neck and shoulders, biting every so often to send a sharp, pleasant bolt straight through my core.
He always followed it up by licking languidly over the mark he’d just given me, easing the sting with his wet, warm tongue.
I loved the rhythm we had created, the five of us.
I would never have imagined that we could all find sexual fulfillment when I was the focus of four men.
If I’d known how natural and easy it felt, I never would have worried.
It was natural, too. Every way I touched them and every way they touched me.
We still had to talk about some things, but I never felt overwhelmed, except overwhelmed by love.
Killian sucked harder on my nipple while Renz pulled his fingers out from inside of me.
His cock pressed against my ass, and I leaned back, giving a harder suck on Jace’s tip as I did so.
He lifted up, pressing Killian even tighter into my breast as Owen sucked my earlobe.
The combination of sensations made me melt.
Renz carefully entered my ass. I gasped as he stretched me, filled me, and my eyes drifted shut in pleasure.
“Is this good?” he asked me, rocking carefully. He moved in and out smoothly and easily.
I pulled back, propping myself on one hand so I could stroke Jace’s cock with the other as I answered, “Yes. It feels good. So good.”
Jace’s fingers traced over my shoulders. “Do you want to try out that passage from the book you read to us last night?”
I nodded. Naming my desires was so easy with them. “Yes, please. Just like how we talked about.”
Renz wrapped his arms around my waist as he pulled us both back.
We lay down, my weight settled fully over him.
In this position, lying with my back pressed to his chest, I couldn’t support myself at all.
Though we’d had sex so many times over the last few months, I had lost count, there was a strengthening of our bonds every time.
Jace knelt between our thighs. He rubbed my clit a few times while he tested me with his fingers. They gave me a surprising sensation combined with the fullness that was already inside of me. Renz hummed his approval.
“You’re already so wet,” Jace murmured. He pressed his tip into my entrance and nudged. I took him in easily, and his solid cock pressed up against me in ways that made me shudder. I grabbed Killian and Owen’s hands, gasping.
“Is it too much?” Owen asked, worried.
I shook my head, breathless. Shockwaves were already going through me simply from the places Jace and Renz were pressed into me. By the look on Jace’s face, he was halfway to climax, too.
“I feel so much,” he said as he worked his hips back and forth.
Renz groaned in my ear. “Fuck. It’s like I’m moving without having to move.”
We adjusted our positions a little, with my legs going over Jace’s shoulders to lift myself a little, giving them both space to thrust into me. As they worked their rhythm, shudders ran down my spine. Everything inside of me was hot and tight, ready.
“Are you sure you want to go all the way?” Killian asked into my breasts. My nipples were tight, too, standing tall and throbbing with the desire to be touched.
“Yes,” I said. “I want it.”
He smiled and sucked on one of my breasts while he swung one leg over me.
He straddled my chest and braced his hands on his thighs as he slid his cock between my breasts.
I pushed them together, encasing him in the round globes.
He rocked a little, and his tip poked up through my cleavage, making me giggle. Killian’s eyes glowed with pleasure.
“You okay back there?” he asked over his shoulder to Jace.
“I can still see her face,” Jace confirmed.
Last was Owen. He cupped my head in his hands, lifting it slightly off Renz’s shoulder. Renz moaned in my ear as Jace kept moving, growing more confident. It made it difficult for me to think about anything other than the pleasure coursing through my body.
Owen slid into my mouth. He held my head, supporting me while giving me the space to decide what pace I took with him.
It felt so amazing to have all of my mates so close, inside of me, in all these different ways. I was so close to them, I could almost feel their pleasure as my own. We all moved, the five of us, writhing in rhythm with one another.
Heat built in my core and under my skin everywhere they touched me.
I wrapped my tongue around Owen while Killian slid between my breasts.
Renz gripped my hips and kissed my neck.
Jace scraped his teeth lightly down my calf while he thrust deeper into me.
It seemed like we were melting into a puddle of pleasure and heat, mingling with one another at a soul level.
“You are so beautiful,” Killian told me. “Have I told you lately? You are so soft and warm. I love it when you smile. I love it when you laugh and frown, and when you’re so deep in your garden that you don’t want us to bother you. And I love being this close to you.”
I giggled at this description even as a different warmth filled my chest.
Renz gripped my hips tighter, moving gently as he sought more friction.
The micro movements sent bolts of pleasure through me.
“I love the way you’ve grown more confident.
Yesterday, when you were telling everyone how we were going to prepare the fields for winter, it made me so proud.
Watching how you can command respect and direct the pack is amazing. ”
He kissed my earlobe.
Jace, burying himself deeper, grunted. “Your dedication is what gets me. Watching you spend hours in your gardens, even after a full day, or the way you are determined to learn more about your heritage. You don’t let anything stop you when you set your mind to something. I love and admire you for that.”
Tears started to burn my eyes as emotion swept through me.
The physical was wonderful, setting every nerve ending in my body alight, but this, these words that they were giving me, it made me feel even more special, more connected.
My thighs were starting to shake, and I fought back my orgasm, not wanting this magical moment to end.
“I love pretty much everything about you,” Owen said, breathless as I continued to move my head in his hands, taking him deeper and then pulling to nearly all the way out.
“You’re smart, funny, and you can be sassy when you want.
You have compassion, and you’re so forgiving.
You truly are what this pack needed in its most dire moments. ”
As he spoke, he reached down and swiped his thumb over my clit. The combination of his affirmation and the movement sent me over the edge. My eyes rolled into the back of my head, and I came, shuddering. Pleasure flooded hot through my body, and I let out a muffled cry.
Renz pushed my hips up and pulled halfway out as he grunted, not wanting to knot in that part of my body.
Owen, too, took himself from me so he could finish into a tissue.
Killian gripped his tip, shielding me from the mess as he climaxed.
Only Jace remained deep inside of me. His knot formed, stretching me out even further.
As I came down from the orgasm, I felt a slight shift in my awareness. I closed my eyes and allowed the flow to take me. Over the past few months, I’d had a few visions, and the priestess had instructed me how to better manage them, so they didn’t wipe me out so much.
The vision came in small bursts, a montage of scenes.
The first ones came rapidly. Blackened shells of houses are being torn down and new ones built in their stead.
Gardens blooming. The fields full of ripened crops.
Festivals, dancing. Children playing. The opening of the shrine once more.
Shifters of all orders mingling with each other, the clouds of distrust and separation fading away.
The next images were slower, darker. I was with my alphas in the office, discussing…something. I couldn’t make out the exact words, but we were worried. The darkness was back, though it had not touched our pack.
Images flashed quickly then. Trees withering, a landslide, gasping fish, and blackened eyes. But I didn’t recognize any of the landmarks or territories. When the image of a town flashed through, I didn’t know which one it was, only that it wasn’t Burgess or Tyrell.
The vision faded, leaving me once more with my mates. All of their knots had softened, so the vision must have taken a while.
They had brought in food and water and were currently waiting.
Renz and Killian talked about a new app they were developing to translate handwritten text into typed text (useful for all the old books we were trying to comb through!) while Jace read one such old book and Owen stretched next to me, dozing.
“I’m awake,” I said, yawning.
Owen put an arm around me and snuggled close. “You keep doing that, and we’re going to get complexes.”
I stroked my hand through his hair. “Sorry. I don’t mean to keep zoning out on you.”
Owen laughed. “I mean, we’re going to think that our cocks are magic. After all, if we’re constantly giving you visions and prophecies, it must mean we’re really good in bed.”
“Jerk,” I said lovingly.
He kissed me as the others gathered around me. Killian started to rub my feet. “What did you see this time?” he asked.
“We’re going to be okay. The pack is going to have love and prosperity. We’re going to reach new levels of unification, and our future is bright. But the valley is still in danger from the darkness.”
All four of them looked grim at that news. They pressed tighter. Owen put his arms around me, Killian moved so my feet were fully in his lap, Jace took my hand, and Renz draped himself over Owen and me both to lay his head on my stomach.
“Did you see what town is going to be targeted next?” Owen asked.
I shook my head. “I did, but I didn’t recognize it.
What I do know is what I felt. The darkness is learning from every defeat.
It’s going to get worse.” As the heaviness fell over us, I shook my head again.
“We must trust the Goddess. She knows what is happening. She’s been giving me these visions for a reason, and she showed me our happiness for a reason.
We must keep faith. I firmly believe that we in Tyrell will not be touched by the darkness again. ”
“I think so, too. Even when there was the fire between us and Burgess, the flames never reached fully into their territory,” Jace said. “We just have to be ready to help our neighbors when the time comes.”
“There’s something else, too.” I sat up in the bed and smiled at all of them. “I wasn’t sure, but this vision showed me the truth. Our first child is going to be a boy. And he’s already on his way.”
I touched my stomach. Instantly, my four mates gathered closer. They kissed me, laughed, welcomed our unborn baby, and congratulated me and each other. Warmth filled me all the way through. This was what I wanted. A home. A family. Peace.
Life was good.
