Chapter 45 #2
“I can’t undo the enhancement’s effects.” He shakes his head. “With those afflicted by the same, we’ve only been able to stabilize them while it leaves their system. Her injuries are healed, but it’ll be a few hours before it wears off.”
“That’s unnerving,” I say, feeling so much clearer now that I’m not in pain. The powers are dull and numb inside me. I hate it. After becoming so accustomed to them filling me, it’s a hollow sensation to be without them.
“I apologize.”
I wave him off. “You fixed this.” I motion to my face and neck. “I’m grateful.”
Axl rushes in, breezing past Kal and Dalfon, yanking me off the bed and into his arms. “Missed you so much. I get back and you’re playing with the Faders without me?”
I laugh, giving another grateful look at Dalfon, who quietly leaves, shutting my door behind him.
“Wasn’t a game I signed up for,” I assure him.
“Well, not exactly.” I blow out a breath.
“At least we know that me getting hit with Tox doesn’t affect your ability to access your powers like Baydel’s binding tonic did in the experiment. ”
“Now who is finding the bright side?” Kal asks, eyeing me where Axl still holds me against him.
“Have to try,” I say.
Axl sets me on my feet, and Kal steps up to his side. The two of them are breathtaking. My heart hiccups at the sight of them staring down at me, hanging on my every word.
Ash hisses from his spot on the bed behind me, bowing his back at them.
Axl growls right back. The cat scoffs before hopping off the bed and slinking out of sight. I spare a moment to think how pissed he’ll be when I tell him I saw Erin without him.
“Did you get the agreements?” I ask, reaching out for each of them with a hand. Now that they’re here and I’m healed, I can think of little else but touching them. It’s been too long. It’s hard to think around the need crashing inside me to be close to them.
“Yes,” Kal says, taking my hand in his.
“Mine too,” Axl says, dragging his hand up my other arm, drawing me closer to both of them.
I’m like a coiled spring the more their eyes are on me, studying and attentive.
The more their hands explore and urge me closer.
I could’ve died tonight, if the Faders had decided to kill me while I was vulnerable.
Or I could’ve been captured. Taken to whoever my sister referred to.
Knowing that certainty makes these moments with them so much more precious.
I’ve missed them so much. And it feels like time is never on our side.
“There’s . . . much to discuss,” Kal says as I draw up on my tiptoes, brushing my lips over his.
“So much,” I say, turning to Axl to kiss him, too. “But I don’t want to talk right now.”
“Fuck it,” Axl growls, his massive hand cupping my hip. “We can talk later.” His mouth presses against mine so intently I whimper, gripping Kal harder as Axl claims me with his kiss.
I melt beneath their touch, a ball of sensation building in my core as we become a flurry of movements—shedding clothes, frantic kisses, and greedy touches. They walk me back to the bed, neither of them hesitating to lay their mouths upon me.
“I dreamed of you every night,” Kal says as he trails his lips along my neck.
I arch into the touch, gasping as Axl kisses his way down my stomach, then lower.
“Have you touched yourself while I’ve been gone?” Axl asks, his voice pure gravel before he licks me.
I gasp, fire streaking through my veins. “No. There’s been little time for such luxuries.”
I can barely form words as he does it again.
Kal’s mouth moves lower, kissing my breasts. I can’t breathe, they feel so good. So right.
“Poor kitten,” Axl says. “You need a release.”
“Yes.” I breathe the answer. “I need you both.”
Kal sucks my nipple into his mouth, the sting rippling pleasure beneath my skin.
The way the two focus on me shifts my entire being to them. To what they’re doing to me. To how they make me feel. Nothing else exists outside the need we have for one another. It’s consuming. Primal. Ethereal.
“Missed you both so much,” I say, my breath hitching as I touch every part of them I can reach. It’s hard with the way they’re devouring different pieces of me like they’ve been starved.
“Hated every second of it,” Axl murmurs against my warmth, the vibrations making me tremble against the edge he’s keeping me on.
“Hated it,” Kal agrees, drawing up to look down at me. He’s stunning. Those blue eyes sear before he takes his time kissing his way down my jaw and neck—
“Axl!” I gasp as he sucks and licks at me until I see stars. The move sends me flying over a sharp edge with no end, my orgasm ripping through me in a white-hot burst.
“Mmm,” he mumbles against my flesh before drawing back. “So damn delicious.”
Jax’s power perks up, arching like it wants to play, shocking me.
Dalfon was wrong; it didn’t take a few hours for the nullifier to wear off.
Maybe I didn’t get hit with as much as I originally thought.
I grasp Jax’s power on instinct, relishing the loving, passionate emotions radiating from my mates.
I send it right back to them, fill them to the brim with everything I’m feeling in return.
“Kitten,” Axl groans when the emotions wash over him. “You have the powers back. You’re so damn strong.”
“My turn.” Kal gently grips the backs of my knees, dragging me away from Axl. “You can wait,” he fires playfully at Axl, who laughs.
“I love watching you fuck our mate.” Axl shifts off the bed, backing up until he drops into the armchair near it.
“Rylee.” Kal says my name with an air of reverence as he kisses his way up my stomach, over my chest, and finally to my lips before he settles between my thighs. “Need you.”
“Yes.” I wholeheartedly agree, arching as he drags his hard length through my wetness.
“So fucking slick.” Kal gently presses in an inch before turning to look at where Axl is sitting. “You made her liquid for me.”
Fire flickers beneath my skin at their communication, at the way we’re both looking at Axl while Kal slides inside me another inch.
“You’re welcome.” Axl’s grin is pure pride as he nods toward us. “Fuck. Her.”
I tremble at his words, then gasp as Kal fills me, holding me there in the sweetest anticipation. I look up at Kal, heart full, as he dips down and kisses me. His lips are warm, soft, and explorative. I close my eyes, losing myself in the way he holds me, kisses me.
And then he drags himself out of me only to slide in again, warm shivers dancing over my skin at the move.
“Kal. Yes. That feels so good.” I breathe the words as he does it again, his confident, sure strokes winding me up again so quickly, I’m dizzy.
Kal shifts, tucking one of his arms beneath my lower back and holding me even more tightly against him as he takes control, pumping into me so closely, there’s no part of us that’s not touching. He’s the very thing holding me together while he does his best to break me into pieces.
“Fuck, yes,” he groans, feeling me tighten around him.
“She’s right there.” He flashes a grin to Axl, and I follow his line of sight, my eyes locking with Axl’s.
He’s watching intently, his massive thighs spread as he patiently waits his turn.
Knowing that, seeing him like that only heightens the pleasure careening toward release down my core.
“Kal!” I gasp, my body clenching around his as I come. Waves of pleasure ripple over me, sparks crackling along our bond as he finds his release, too.
Kal gently pulls out of me, and I’ve barely caught my breath before Axl is there, climbing onto the bed and lying beside me, shifting me toward him. “Can you handle some more?”
I shiver as his hand roams down my side. “Yes.”
He grins, hooking his fingers behind my knee and hitching it over his hip.
The position has his hard length gliding through my ultra-sensitive heat, and he slicks himself with the remnants of me and Kal.
The thought alone is enough to make me feel brazen.
My nerves tangle all over again, especially as Kal kisses my back before he shifts off the bed, heading to the chair Axl vacated.
“Doesn’t she feel incredible?” Kal asks as Axl drags himself through my heat again, circling my aching center in teasing passes.
“She really does,” Axl answers, hauling me closer against him.
We’re both on our sides facing each other, but when I lift my head to kiss him, I can see Kal just over Axl’s broad shoulder, content with his blue eyes on us.
It’s exhilarating, intoxicating. I’m reduced to pure sensation.
Sparks and chills and trembles. I pour all of those sensations into Jax’s power, pushing it toward them so they can both feel what I’m feeling.
“You’re mine to please now,” Axl says. The possessive claim only fuels the fire beneath my skin. There’s something so inherently sexy about being desired by both of them in this way. I’ll never get enough of it.
“Yes,” I beg.
Axl smirks. “This what you want?”
I melt at the words, a burst of anticipation rattling through me as he slides inside me, filling me where Kal had moments ago.
“Yes,” I say again. “Axl. More.” I capture his mouth in mine, my mind spinning as Jax’s power ripples from me and over them. We’re lost to our desire and love now, and it’s everything.
Lightning streaks down my core as Axl hitches my leg higher over his hip and pumps into me over and over again, each connection ramping up the flames igniting my body.
“Oh my goddess.” I grip Axl’s broad shoulder, rolling my hips in time with his thrusts, chasing that pleasure like my life depends on it. Axl’s mouth is on mine, swallowing my gasps as he pumps into me in a steady rhythm.
A whimper tumbles from my lips, warmth flooding to my core as he presses tighter against me.
“That’s it,” Axl groans. “Come for me.”
“Axl.” I clench around him, dragging my mouth over his before my eyes flash behind him, to Kal, who’s watching us with lust-filled eyes.
Home. This feels like coming home.
They’re here. They’re safe. They’re mine.
Axl builds my pleasure brick by brick, lightning and fire and warmth and happiness as he glides in and out of me. I’m a maelstrom of bliss created by their combined storm. Sea and sky come alive, rippling along my bonds. They gleam, glistening as bright as stars as we crash together.
“I’m . . . I’m . . .”
I’m theirs. Wholly. Irrevocably.
“I’ve got you,” Axl growls, stroking that spot deep inside me.
I combust in a wave of pleasure that crests and trembles, melting my mind in the best possible way. Axl follows me over the edge, losing himself inside me until we’re nothing but panting breaths and soft, lazy kisses.
“That’s so fun to watch,” Kal says as he comes to the side of the bed. He helps us clean up, the two of them working so well together as they see to my care. After they’re satisfied all my needs have been met, we get back into my bed, exhaustion settling over all of us.
And I fall asleep between them, feeling safe and untouchable in the best way.
