Chapter 8
Dario
Enzo’s growl vibrates the house as Theia lets out a silent scream that shakes our souls. The bond completes, robbing me of my vision. When I can finally see again, I watch as Enzo’s knot grows inside Theia, pushing her clit out, teasing me to suck it.
I give in to the impulse and lean in, licking and then pinning it between my teeth as I suck greedily on the nub, making her cum on his knot over and over until she’s screaming for mercy.
“No, little mate. You take what we give, and my balls are still heavy with seed, and your womb is very much empty. Our mating rut has just begun. Prepare for a very long few days.” Even though he’s already given his claiming mark, Enzo leans into her neck and bites her again.
I feel the satisfaction of knowing she’ll always carry our scent now. No shower will ever hide it from another shifter.
“You fucking animals!” Theia tries to buck Enzo off and just causes another orgasm that I prolong with my tongue.
“Shhh, we’ll let you rest. We’ll just be inside you while you do it.
We haven’t begun to love you, little mate.
Soon you’ll never have a reason to ever doubt it.
Now, come lay on your side and rock yourself to sleep.
” Enzo and I carefully move our bodies so Theia is facing me with Enzo firmly planted in her over-stuffed pussy from behind.
I rub at the muscles of her legs, working the knots out, and Enzo trails lazy kisses along her shoulder and arms. When she’s snoring softly against my arm, I look away from her face to see Enzo watching me.
“You’re happy.” I frown at his tone, but he reaches for my shoulder and squeezes it.
“I’ve never seen you smile the way you do at her.” I shrug and nod.
“She’s ours.” It’s the only words I have to describe the feeling coursing through me, but Enzo understands my meaning like he always has.
“Fuck yes, she is.” His hand finds her center, and he draws small circles on her clit until she groans out in her sleep.
“One more little mate. That’s a good fucking girl,” Enzo growls softly in her ear, and then he falls onto his back, his dick leaving a long wet trail across his hip.
“We should feed her.” I move Theia into my arms more comfortably, and Enzo supplies a mental image of Theia on her knees with my cock down her throat.
“Yes, but I meant food.” Enzo laughs at my tone.
“Yes, brother, we will feed out mate when she wakes.” He yawns and drops an arm over his eyes before drifting off, leaving me awake to enjoy our mate on my own.
“Mmm, warm.” Theia snuggles into me, and I pull a light sheet over our bodies.
“Take what you need, mate.” I kiss her forehead and then her lips.
The lazy kiss grows slowly, and she pushes my shoulders into the mattress while climbing on top of me.
My cock throbs as her hand firmly grasps it and she holds it while sliding her hot, wet core down on me.
I grab her hips and pull her down hard until I’m buried so deep I can feel her heartbeat on my tip.
“Fuck me,” I roar as she grabs the headboard for leverage and starts to move.
I feel Enzo wake, but he doesn’t move or say a word. He just silently watches as our mate rides me to heaven.
“Dario, I need more,” Theia whines, trying to find her orgasm as she drops her fingers to her clit.
“Oh no, little mate. That isn’t what you need. Here, let me help.” Enzo straddles my legs and pushes Theia’s torso down over my face.
“I think there’s room for me right here.” I feel his hot breath on my wet cock still pumping inside her while he tongues her asshole, prepping her to take both of us.
When he breaches her back hole with one, then two fingers, I can feel the friction through the thin barrier that separates the two channels.
“FUCK,” I growl as Theia rolls her hips on me, giving Enzo more room to work.
“We knot her together,” Enzo says over her shoulder at me.
“Then fucking hurry.” I was right on the edge, and the mating rut was screaming in my mind.
Claim.
Mate.
Mark.
Breed.
The words chanted in our mindlink as Enzo slowly and carefully pushed his cock past the first ring of Theia’s ass and then all the way to the root, making us all groan at the fullness.
I kissed away the few tears Theia shed, and we stayed still until her hips moved to encourage us. Once she started to whimper and grind, we let our ruts take over.
I pushed in while he pulled out and Theia rolled between us like a wave across the ocean.
“Now,” Enzo pushed in deep, sinking her onto me and pinning her hips between us, leaving her no room to move.
Our knots flared, and Theia screamed as she clutched at the sheets, pillows, our arms - anything to ground herself so she didn’t float away on the rush of pleasure that was threatening to drown her.
We felt it all in the bond. The wonder, the overwhelming euphoria, the sheer panic of it being too much yet not enough. Our souls knit together to form one, and only then did we understand the meaning of forever.
Theia finally sagged into Dario, and I gently laid kisses up her spine to the back of her neck.
“I don’t think we understood who and what you are until now. Thank you for sharing it with us. I’m afraid we’ll never be worthy of you.” It’s the most words I’ve spoken out loud in a long time.
“We are mates. What I have is now yours for as long as I exist, so will you, and through you, your family,” Theia said, kissing me softly.
I remember hearing Hades tell Persephone once that to be loved was to be granted eternal life. Now I understand what he meant.
“We will never take it for granted,” Enzo whispers into her nape.
