Chapter 28 Rosalina
Rosalina
Caspian’s mischievous energy is infectious, and I can’t help but look up at Ezryn through my lashes with the hungriest expression I can muster. It must be working, because he lets out an exasperated growl and runs a hand through his wavy hair. Oh yeah. I’ve got him.
We’ve got him.
Caspian slinks forward and trails a finger along Ezryn’s shoulders. “Come now, Ezryn. Haven’t you always wanted me on my knees, begging for mercy?”
“Yes,” Ezryn growls. “But I always imagined it with my blade at your neck.”
Despite the meaning of his words, there’s no malice in them.
I raise a brow, studying my mates. Something’s shifted between them.
I’m not sure if it was Dayton’s death, discovering our mate bonds, or perhaps decades-long frustration with Kel that couldn’t stop them from bonding together, but it almost feels like an uneasy alliance has formed between them.
And uneasy though it may be, I can’t help but thrill at the thought of it.
“How about instead of my neck, it’s my mouth?” Caspian croons, then gives a heated look down at Ezryn. “And instead of your blade, it’s your blade?”
Ezryn narrows his gaze. “Don’t push your luck.
” He walks over to me and tucks a strand of hair behind my ear.
His voice softens. “Nothing offers me more pleasure than seeing my woman get what she wants. Even if what she wants comes from a fox like you.” He gives a pointed look over his shoulder at Cas before turning back to me. “But it’s only her body I crave.”
I grab his hand, remove the gloves, then drift soft kisses across his knuckles. “I don’t want to do anything that will make you uncomfortable.”
Ezryn breathes a laugh, then walks over to Cas.
Cas stares up at him, that vulpine smile still on his face.
Ez does the same move to Caspian, tucking a strand of hair behind his ear.
He grabs Caspian’s chin roughly. “I’m not uncomfortable.
And I’m certainly not going to let him fuck you alone. My mate deserves better than that.”
“Well then, let’s get our maiden on the road, shall we?
” Cas purrs. He slips out of Ezryn’s grasp, then goes to the back of the sleigh, pulling out several heavy blankets we’d packed for the trip.
He gestures for us to follow him farther into the cave, around a corner.
The icy fractal walls continue before rounding into a small alcove.
“I’d rather not be watched by a reindeer if that’s alright with you two. ”
I laugh and nod, walking into the alcove.
In every direction, walls of ice stretch until the very top, where it opens to the sky.
Light filters in, making the room glow blue.
My reflection dances as I twirl, taking it all in.
Eight other Rosies move in sync with me, our long, dark hair splaying out, our faces flushed with cold and excitement.
Thankfully, this far into the cave, there’s no wind.
In fact, it almost feels like being in the bridge house on Voidseal: not warm exactly, but the chill has been chased away.
Ezryn leans down and touches the ground with his bare hand. “There must be thermal pools beneath the surface.”
“Whatever the case, you and I can stay here again tonight. We’ll be kept warm thinking of our little snowflake in the arms of Keldarion.” Cas gestures to the blankets. “Your bed awaits, Flower.”
Warmth spreads from the tips of my toes to the top of my head as I walk toward the blankets.
I had meant what I said. I do desperately want to see Kel tonight.
He’d seemed earnest, shy even, when he extended the invitation to join him at his camp.
There’s something I want to see with you, he’d said.
If it’s important to Keldarion, it’s important to me.
Every day seems to present a new rift between us.
If we’re not fighting over Caspian, it’s about my safety.
I need something to help us find our way back to each other.
And this—my two mates who supposedly hate each other—might just be the thing to get me there. And bonus, getting Ezryn and Caspian to team up could very well be just the thing to mend the broken bridges between them.
I just didn’t imagine they’d be teaming up on me.
A delicious wave of excitement floods through me. First, I kick off my boots, then step onto the thick blankets. They’re warm, made of felted wool, and my toes curl among the fibers. Ezryn and Caspian pace closer, rounding on me like predators. A wolf and a fox, working together.
Beneath their hungry gazes, I unbutton my coat and fling it away. With slow, agonizing movements, I strip out of my travel skirt, my trousers, the woolen shirt, and the full-body stockings. I kick everything to the side until I’m in nothing but my skin before them.
Though there’s no wind, the air is still cool, pebbling my nipples to hard points and spreading goose bumps over the mounds of my breasts.
I notice the change in their bodies immediately: Ezryn’s throat bobs as he swallows, and he wets his lips with his tongue.
Caspian’s pupils are blown, the purple nearly devoured by black. They take a step toward me in unison.
I lower to my knees and blink up at them. “No fair. You two are still dressed while I’m cold and naked.”
The words ignite them, and they both leap to my side, kneeling beside me.
“We’ll keep you warm, Flower,” Caspian purrs.
“Relax, Petal. We’ll take care of you,” Ezryn says. He blows on his hands, warming them, then trails his fingers down my spine. I shiver despite the fact they’re not cold.
Caspian moves my hair off my shoulder and starts layering kisses on my skin, across my collarbone, up my neck.
I arch to give him more space. His greedy mouth finds my lips, and he kisses me slowly, deeply.
I grab the back of his head, pulling him further into me.
Our tongues tangle before I pull away. Caspian gasps, then gnashes his teeth in a demanding fashion, wanting more of me, but I giggle and place a finger on his lips.
Turning to Ezryn, I lace my other hand through his thick hair.
His expression is soft, gentle, but questioning.
There’s an uncertainty to him. Sharing me with Cas is so much different from sharing me with Farron or Dayton, men he loves like brothers.
But I’ll show him it’s safe. We’re always safe as long as we’re together.
I kiss Ezryn softly at first, then deepen it, pouring all my lust and desire into the movements of my lips. Can he hear it in the place where our skin touches? The words only my body can say? Thank you for trusting him. Thank you for trusting me.
Their hands get more adventurous. Caspian grabs one of my ass cheeks, squeezing and jiggling. I gasp out as Ezryn seizes my nipple between his thumb and forefinger, taunting it with gentle plucks. All the while, I switch between them, capturing Caspian’s mouth in mine, then kissing Ezryn.
“Have we made you wet yet, Flower?” Caspian says. “You’ve had an effect on me.” He grabs my hand and places it over the apex of his pants. Even through the thick fabric, I can feel how hard he is.
Ezryn pinches my nipple, causing me to gasp out, before he pats my pussy. “Let me see.” Roughly, like he owns my body, he plunges two fingers inside me. I arch my back against his touch, driving my hips down, wanting him deeper.
Caspian grabs my hair and gives it a sharp yank. “Oh, Flower, that’s much too greedy. This isn’t for you, not yet. We’re observing for ourselves.” He cocks his head. “Well? Is our sweet Winter maiden dripping for us?”
Ezryn pulls his hand out, the glisten on his fingers shimmering in the blue light. “What do you think, Cas?”
“Delicious.”
Ezryn extends his hand, holding it before Cas’s half-parted lips. Cas gives a delighted gasp, then leans forward, mouth opening—
Right before his lips wrap around Ezryn’s fingers, Ez pulls back and pops them in his own mouth. He grins as he sucks my wetness like a man starved. I have to fight my laugh at Caspian’s betrayed expression.
“Well then, if you’re going to be that way, I’ll have to go to the source.”
Before I can respond, Cas sweeps me down until I’m lying on my back. In two moves, he’s thrown off his coat and top and kicked off his boots and pants. Before I’ve had time to admire his body, his face is buried between my legs, and I’m half gasping, half crying as he begins to devour me.
“Fuck, you are delicious,” Cas’s muffled voice says. He doesn’t even look up. Instead, he laces his arms under my thighs and tugs me closer to him until I’m surprised I haven’t drowned him.
Ez watches with a bemused amusement. But his eyes on me are not enough. I reach out, grasping for his hand. “Ez.”
His expression darkens, and he shrugs off his coat, then jerks off his clothes. Like Cas and I, he’s now completely naked. My throat dries as I take him in, tall and carved with muscle. Thick, black hair covers his chest, and I long to lace my fingers through it.
“To me.”
He falls back to his knees, stroking my cheek with one hand and palming my breast with the other. His cock bobs, strong and proud, so temptingly close to my face.
But Caspian’s determined that I won’t get distracted.
He presses two elegant fingers inside me, curling them until I’m a trembling mess.
He lowers his mouth over my clit and sucks.
My body reacts instinctively, chasing the pleasure.
I buck my hips against Caspian and reach out, grasping Ezryn at the base of his cock. Ez groans at the sudden contact.
I prop myself up on an elbow so I can take a better look at both Cas devouring me and Ezryn’s thick cock right in front of my face. These two want to work together to destroy me? Let them try. But I bet little old me can destroy them both all on my own.
