Chapter 37 #3
She was kneeling between two huge Kindred warriors, pressing their shafts together because she had asked them to give her what she needed, and both of them were trembling for her.
Ravik, who could rip an Infected apart with his bare hands, was holding himself still because she told him to.
Severin, who hid behind science and control, was breathing like he was about to fall apart.
And Cassie was the one doing it to them—she absolutely loved it.
“Sweetheart,” Severin said hoarsely. “I’m…fuck, I’m close.”
Ravik groaned.
“Close too.”
Cassie pulled back, her lips wet and swollen.
“Good,” she whispered. “Because I need you to come for me—both of you.”
Severin’s eyes flared.
“Are you sure?”
Her body answered before her mind could overthink it. The bite wound pulsed bright, and a deep empty ache went through her—not for penetration, not yet—but for what they could give her…their seed.
“Yes,” she said. “I’m sure.”
Ravik’s hand tightened in her hair, then loosened again at once.
“Cassie takes both?”
Cassie looked from him to Severin.
“Yes,” she whispered. “I’ll take both.”
She leaned in again, pressing them together with both hands and taking the heads into her mouth as deeply as she could.
She sucked and stroked, letting her tongue move between them, feeling both males begin to lose rhythm.
Ravik’s hips jerked once and stopped. Severin’s breath broke as he gasped her name.
Then Ravik came with a deep, shuddering roar.
“Fuuuuck!” he growled.
A heartbeat later, Severin followed with a strangled groan that sounded almost like surrender.
“Cassandra,” he gasped. “Your mouth…so sweet…”
Cassie swallowed as much as she could, but there was so much.
Hot seed spilled over her tongue and lips, salty and thick and she tasted Ravik’s caramel flavor mingling with Severin’s chocolate one.
She swallowed fast, her hands still stroking them through it, while both males trembled under her touch and came together for her.
The moment she swallowed, heat flooded her body but it wasn’t fever this time—it was just warmth.
She kept swallowing, taking as much as possible and as she did, the glow in her arm flared one last time, bright enough to light the inside of her skin, and then it faded.
Not completely, but dramatically—dimming to a pale golden shimmer so faint she could barely see it.
As the two of them finished coming, Cassie eased back, panting, and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.
God, she couldn’t quite believe that she’d done that!
Again she felt like a porn star—or maybe just the main character in one of the spicy “why choose?” novels she loved.
But it seemed to have worked—she felt completely better now.
Well, almost completely better—there was still a little hunger buried deep inside, but she assumed it was just the virus going dormant for a while. At least, she hoped that’s what it was doing.
For a moment, all three of them simply stared at each other.
Ravik’s hand was still in her hair and Severin’s fingers were tangled with his friend’s. Their cocks were still pressed close together where she had held them.
“We shared…shared Cassie,” Ravik rumbled, looking at his friend.
“Yes…we did.” Severin nodded slowly. He looked slightly stunned but also deeply moved, as though some secret door inside him had opened and he wasn’t sure what waited on the other side.
Ravik only nodded.
“Cassie feels better?” he asked, voice rough, as he looked back at her.
She looked down at her arm again.
“I think so,” she whispered. “For now.”
Severin reached for her wrist with a hand that wasn’t quite steady.
“May I?”
She nodded and he examined the bite wound yet again, his brows drawing together as the scientist in him was struggling back to the surface.
“The reaction decreased,” he said. “Dramatically. I need bloodwork to confirm it, but—”
“Of course you do,” Cassie said faintly.
His mouth twitched, but his eyes were still dark and shaken.
“But I think it helped,” he finished.
Cassie let out a shaky breath.
“Good.”
Ravik stroked her hair, his golden eyes moving from her to Severin and back again.
“Good,” he echoed.
Cassie shifted back onto her heels, suddenly aware all over again that she was naked and kneeling in front of two half-dressed Kindred warriors who had just come in her mouth together. Her cheeks heated, but the shame she expected didn’t come—not really.
Because they weren’t looking at her like she was dirty or wrong—they were looking at her like she was precious.
Severin tucked himself away first, his movements precise but slightly unsteady. Ravik followed after a moment, though he kept glancing at Severin as though trying to understand why the air between them had changed.
Cassie understood it, though. Maybe not all of it…maybe not the Kindred rules and all the reasons this would matter later. But she knew that the two of them had crossed a line for her.
Not the final line—the three of them hadn’t had Bonding Sex. But something had happened—something all three of them were going to have to deal with sooner or later.
For now, though, her body was calm. Her bite wound had stopped pulsing. At last she felt peace and the three of them could sleep…or so she thought.
