Chapter 14
“ O pen up, princess.” Amir spread my ass cheeks while I was sprawled across Diego, his knot wedged deep.
I was already so fucking full I couldn’t imagine taking more, but Amir kept insisting I could. He coated himself with my slick and dripped lube between my ass cheeks, working it into me with his thumb while I keened against Diego’s skin.
The pressure when he replaced his thumb with his cock had my eyes rolling back in my head. “Amir, I can’t.”
“Yes, you fucking can.”
I panted as he worked his way in, the slow, incremental pushes getting him deeper and deeper.
“That’s my good girl, princess. You know how to take a cock. Your body was made to take me, to take all of us.”
I dug my nails into Diego and he had his eyes closed, his fingers gripping my thighs, his whole body shuddering with each squeeze of my pussy around his knot. Kai was waiting so patiently to make use of my mouth, but that wasn’t going to happen until Amir got his way.
“Oh god.” The stretch had every inch of me shaking. I wanted to be good for him and give him what he wanted. I wanted to know what it felt like. The sounds he was forcing out of me weren’t quite human anymore and I felt the tension in the air, all of those eyes watching me. Most of the time they were easy to ignore with how well the alphas distracted me, but right now I couldn’t help but think about them. What had been nerves at the start was now a pleasant simmer in my blood. They all wanted to see me do this. They were paying for the privilege.
The me of a few days ago would never have dreamed of feeling desirable in this situation, but I did. I felt like I was glowing under the spotlight.
Amir rocked his hips and pulled me up by my hair, cupping my breasts and teasing his lips over my throat. He felt so good I could’ve died on the spot. His teeth ghosted over my skin. I hadn’t forgotten how life-changing it had felt to bond Kai. Even with the heat haze stealing my senses, that lingering knowledge had remained. What would it feel like for Amir to claim me right now?
Diego would only have to move a few inches to bite my wrist, but both of them were in the cuffs and collars to prevent me from doing the same to them. Whoever had thought of them was a godsend, because during the spikes I was consumed by the desire to drive my teeth into their skin and take them for my own. That was the ridiculous thing about my panic, because I wanted them as much as I wanted my old life back, and none of this was fucking fair.
“Get out of your head, princess, and let me in. One big deep breath and push out a little.”
I followed the instruction and his cock finished its journey through the ring of muscle.
“Fuck yes. You’re so tight. Your little ass has such a grip on me.” He nipped my shoulder. “I would tell you to hold still, but you’re not going anywhere on that knot.”
I quivered as he moved, a smooth glide out before he drove back in. Desperation burned through me.
“More,” I demanded.
Amir chuckled in my ear, pinching my nipples until I keened, and then he bucked. “Such a good little cock slut. I knew you could do it. Now be our best girl and let Kai use that pretty mouth.”
My jaw dropped obediently and Kai moved closer to cradle my head in his hands, my tongue popping out to flick the head of his cock.
The heat in his eyes had me squirming. No one had ever looked at me like that before these men. Maybe it was secretly a good thing that we had accidentally bonded because there was no fucking way anyone else would ever be able to compare.
I was pretty sure if I had to face the aggressively mediocre dating pool outside this room, I would melt into a puddle of despair. I could embrace my spinster era if I had to, I loved cats, but this unfairly gorgeous alpha was my future, and at least right now, that didn’t seem so bad. Honestly, I was going to give myself whiplash with how chaotic my emotions were about everything.
But then Kai slipped past my lips, and Diego and Amir moved, and it was impossible to think at all.
Sweet mother of god, everything was so fucking much. I was filled to bursting and steeped in bliss.
“Your mouth feels so fucking good, little dove.”
I whined around him, struggling to catch my breath while Diego flexed his hips to shift his knot inside me and Amir wrapped his arm snugly around my waist to snap his hips against my ass.
“So sweet, princess,” Amir growled in my ear. “Tell me how much you love it.”
Kai pulled back to let me answer and I huffed and puffed, trying to gather enough coherency to string two words together. I groaned long and low when he slowed his pace and pulled almost all the way out to drive back in.
“F-fuck, f-feels so good,” I choked on a breath when he stilled. “Don’t—don’t stop.”
He chuckled in my ear and drove home; the strangled sound I made was muffled as Kai pressed back into my mouth.
The world seemed to flow in slow motion, seconds dripping by like molasses in winter. Every glide of Amir into me, every subtle shift of Diego, every thrust of Kai over my tongue went through the control panel of my brain, flicking off switches as they went until nothing in the fucking world mattered except the way they touched me. They supported my weight when I melted against them, Diego’s hands bracing my ribs to assist.
I let go. Sliding down the dark and slippery path in my head was so easy. Detaching from my body until just one little thread tethered me to it felt like the most natural thing in the world. Pleasure still snaked up that thread to me, but the sheer overwhelm stayed down with my body, letting my mind float freely.
So light.
Here there was only peace, only quiet and softness.
When Amir bucked into me and the pressure of his knot filled me to overflowing, I screamed around Kai, dropping away entirely when he pulled away, his fist stroking until he splattered warmth against my skin.
I sank under the darkness.
Gentle touches and quiet whispers tried to disturb me, but I had no interest in emerging from where I was just yet.
Rest.
Sleep.
Quiet.
I needed those right now.
The touches and whispers didn’t cease, but eventually they were accompanied by warm water enveloping me and the press of skin.
“Come back, little dove.”
Talking was far too much work, so I stayed silent. Cinnamon infused every breath. I needed that too. Controlling my body through that tiny thread was so much effort I couldn’t be bothered, even though I wanted to turn, to press my face to the source of the cinnamon.
“Callie, precious, wake up.”
No. I was far too comfy to engage with reality again.
Hands smoothed my hair and traced delicate patterns on my skin, over and over. The thread connecting me to my body grew a little with each repetitive motion. Gradually, the thread thickened into a rope and began to inch me back down.
Someone dug into the bottom of my foot, working out the tension until I was groaning.
“Found the Callie comeback button,” someone said with a laugh. Their voices were distorted, slowed down, but not so much that I couldn’t understand the words themselves.
More hands touched me, insistent, digging into my muscles, and twisting both relief and discomfort as knots released.
Bit by bit those hands coaxed me back, forcing me into reality again, but when I opened my eyes everything was dimly lit and I was so cozy. Kai cradled me to his chest, the firm length of his body along my back in the bath. Diego worked the tension out of my hands, and Amir was at my feet.
“She lives,” Diego said with a quiet laugh. “Welcome back, precious. How are you feeling?”
Speaking was still too much effort even though I was at least awake now. I let out a contented hum as my response, closing my eyes again, the flickering candlelight along the vanity too much right now.
Something hard and plastic pressed to my lips and I turned away from it.
“Not a chance, sweetheart.”
I peeled open one eye to see Miles with a bottle of juice and a straw.
“Drink it, princess,” Amir ordered. “We need to get your blood sugar up a bit.”
I opened my lips just enough for Miles to slot the straw through and sucked obediently. The flavor was distinctly tropical and just shy of too sweet, but I drank until I couldn’t anymore.
“Good girl.” Kai nuzzled my cheek. “We’ll get you fed soon, too. Any requests?”
I shook my head, the motion feeling like water sloshing around inside an inflated balloon.
“Start with ice cream, the high-protein ones,” Diego suggested. “No chewing required.”
“I’ll put in the order,” Miles replied.
They were all tucked into the bathroom with me. I was totally naked and plastered to Kai, but I couldn’t work up an ounce of self-consciousness. My purr slowly rolled to life and Kai’s kicked on in response, the vibration in his chest making me even meltier.
“Comfy?” Diego asked, his smile coloring his tone with amusement.
“Mhmm.”
I lounged there in total bliss. Eventually they insisted on feeding me, Miles wedging himself alongside the tub with the others and spooning me delicious bites of creamy chocolate. By the time I got to the last mouthful, I was feeling considerably more human and much more tethered to reality.
“Sleep?” I murmured.
“Anything you want, sweetheart.”
Arms lifted me out of the bath and held me upright while someone toweled down every inch before bundling me under insanely soft blankets. Bodies tucked up against my front and back, a glorious amount of skin-on-skin that had all my instincts happy as a clam.
The next time I woke, I was trapped beneath a tangle of limbs, with cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg thick in my nose with whispered hints of cedar. I groaned, my exhausted body protesting, shifting and stretching. The room was dark so I could only tell who was where by scent. I snuggled closer to the person in front of me, getting a good whiff.
Diego.
My rustling around woke him, his hands sliding up my body from my waist to cradle the back of my head. “Hey there, precious. Feeling better?”
“That depends on your definition of better.” Fucking hell, I sounded like I was smoking two packs a day.
Diego chuckled quietly. “Let me get you some water.”
As soon as he climbed off the bed, someone moved to take his place. There was hardly any scent, which told me it was Miles. His T-shirt was soft beneath my fingertips. Kai wasn’t wearing a stitch of clothing behind me, but then I supposed I had gotten a lot closer to Kai than to Miles in that regard. I hummed softly and rooted my nose against Miles’s throat, growling when it didn’t reveal what I sought.
“Miles?”
“Yes, sweetheart?”
“I don’t like your scent blockers.”
“I can go off of them,” he promised. “I had to wait until your heat was fully over.”
“It’s over now?”
“It is. Now all you have to do is rest and let us take care of you. Whatever you need, we’ll handle. No request is too extravagant.”
Kai woke enough to pull me tighter against his chest before his breathing evened out again.
I liked the idea of them taking care of me. I wasn’t entirely certain I could stand at this point, so it was probably better if they managed everything for me anyway. My whole body felt like a bowl of overcooked noodles, and forming sentences was still an uncomfortable amount of work.
I curled my fingers in Miles’s shirt. “Go off them right now. I want to know.”
“I haven’t taken today’s dose. You’ll have to give it some time to process out of my system, though.” His thumb brushed over my cheek. “I’ll toss the whole bottle away just for you.”
Just for me.
Fuck if I didn’t love the sound of that.
