Chapter 44 #2
It felt like lying on lush grass with the sky bathing me in kisses. It felt like being carried close in warm, sturdy arms. It felt like laughing until you cried, until your head seemed to float and your body gave out in fits of happiness.
Seb’s eyes fluttered half closed, his smiling cheeks flushed as he let out a low, drawn-out sigh.
Oh my God… I can actually feel your love, he told me in our secret place.
Me too, I answered. Like a force flowing through me.
It’s perfect. His voice in my head was music made just for me. It’s everything I’ve felt since the day I met you rolled into one moment. I can’t believe I get to share it with you.
I want to share everything with you, Seb. Including our first times.
His cobalt eyes opened wide, studying my face.
Make love to me. He pressed his lips together, hiding the fangs growing behind them as his desire sent a fresh, invigorating wave of warm pleasure through me. Shouldn’t one of the others be—I mean, are you sure you want it to be me?
Yes, I’m sure. I want you to know how special you are to me, to understand how much you’ve done to start erasing my scars.
Then, yes. I’d love nothing more. He bent to kiss along my jaw until he reached my mouth.
As he made that burning trail, he murmured in my head, But you need to know…
the urge to seal a mate bond is strong for every type of paranormal.
He straightened and met my eye. And for vamps and shifters, that involves a bite.
With his love washing over me, the word didn’t spark so much as a flinch. I was safe here. Safe. What a beautiful concept. Safe here in his arms. Where his nature and my past didn’t matter.
Together, we could rewrite everything.
But he still rushed to add, I would never do that to you without consent. Just know, if something slips through our mind connection, you don’t have to be afraid. I can control myself.
I’m not afraid. I’m ready, Seb. I’m ready to show you how much I love you.
I’m ready to say everything I didn’t know how to say at the ball.
His exhale hitched, and he kissed me long and gentle.
With one hand in his hair, I searched for Dagger with my other.
I weaved and interlocked our fingers, stroking his warm, solid pecs until I drew back, letting Seb pepper kisses across my hairline as I turned to Dagger.
“I think I want Seb to be my first,” I told him softly. “I love you both equally, but this is something extra special for the two of us.” I dropped my gaze down his body. “And for another thing, I’m not sure I can handle a shifter as my first, even with the venom.”
Dagger’s grin was just a tiny bit cocky as he nodded. He patted Seb’s shoulder before standing. “You have no idea how much I’ll enjoy watching. Seb, go slowly. Check that she’s comfortable.”
I opened my legs, desire coiling low in my gut as I imagined taking him all the way in, how he’d fill me up.
Drinking in Seb’s strong chest and smiling, soft eyes, I had to wipe a tear away as he angled himself over me, pressing himself inside gently.
Dagger’s eyes were glued to me and Seb leaned down to kiss me.
Who would have thought, after all I’d been through, I’d gladly be losing my virginity to someone with vamp fangs and a blood appetite?
“Okay, beautiful?” He was nestled only about an inch in, and it felt so sweet.
“Better than okay. I feel amazing. I’m just so happy I’m about to cry. Keep going.”
“Why don’t you rub your clit while he slides deeper?” Dagger was stroking his cock, yellow eyes fiercely focused on my pussy.
Something about having him here, watching, giving directions made me feel even more cherished. Seb may have been my first, but this wasn’t just me and him.
I began rubbing my clit in circles as Seb eased inside me, inch by inch, taking my breath away.
“God,” I sighed. There wasn’t even a twinge of pain, just a satisfying fullness. “The venom’s working. You can go deeper.”
I wrapped my legs around the back of his thighs and grasped his firm ass cheeks, digging my fingernails in and pushing as hard as I could to get everything from him. The gentle fullness and satisfaction became a ravenous need. “Seb… Fuck me deeper, faster.”
“It’s not too much? You’re sure?”
I motioned for him to move his face closer and kissed him greedily, pouring every ounce of need into that kiss. “I’m sure. Take me harder.”
Dagger was stroking faster too. “That’s it, kid, get our girl’s pussy even wetter.”
Seb pumped hard enough to rock us together on the sheets, and I was near heaven as I reached for his ass, widening the spread of my hips to try and get more of him inside me.
His love poured over me again too. Its cosmic glow spread sunbursts inside the depths of my soul. “I love having it so deep.”
“Doggy will get him deeper,” Dagger said between husky breaths.
“Oh God, yes.” Being watched by a jaguar was bringing out the primal in me. “Fuck me on my knees.”
I didn’t just want this for me and Seb, I wanted to give Dagger a show. To make him more a part of this, and I wanted him to watch me, to see what I can take and know that soon, I will take him too.
Seb eased out, and I moved onto hands and knees, clutching the pillow, burrowing my face into the cotton, as I angled my hips up, and arched my back to give Dagger a view I knew he would love.
As Seb’s dick slid in so fucking deep. I bit the pillow, squealing and moaning into it as he clamped his hands around my hips, thrusting hard.
The sound of our skin slapping together, his firm grip as he slid in and out, it was too much for my brain to take.
The pressure built in my core, and I felt every nerve in my body come to life.
I lifted my head from the pillow and managed to pant, “God, Yes. Seb, right there, faster, I’m gonna come, I’m gonna come, I’m gonna, I’m gonna—”
I muffled a scream into the pillow. And again. And again. The waves of the orgasm struck in time with his telepathic declarations of I love you, I love you, bringing me out of my body with an otherworldly climax.
… mark you for my own…
His thought spilled through my head, laced with jaw-clenching intensity. It was a rough purr, a thought of pure love, not possession or aggression. I felt his fingers tighten on my hips, and I tilted back my head, sighing at the sensation. I tried to speak but only a moan escaped.
I wanted him to mark me, I needed it, even if I wasn’t ready for his fangs… yet.
Mark me another way, I told him.
His answering groan had a smile threaded through it as he slid out slowly and shot jets of hot liquid across my ass and back, staking his claim on my skin.
We both collapsed onto the bed, laughing as he pulled me into his arms.
“Was that good?” Light sweat layered his forehead as he took off his glasses, rubbing the lenses with a pillow corner to clear their thick film of steam.
“Good? That was perfect.” I kissed him hard on the lips.
I gazed up at Dagger, who was still stroking himself, dark gaze hooded, the rise and fall of his chest intensifying.
Exhausted, breathing hard, I beckoned for him to swap with Seb.
Dagger surprised me. “Not tonight, Cowgirl. Don’t want to make you too sore. Don’t worry about me.” He winked. “This is perfect.”
“You’re sure?” I asked licking my lips as I ran my eyes over him. The head of his cock was a dark red, and his fist gripped tight as it slid up and down his shaft. “I want to make you feel good too.”
Walking to the edge of the bed, he took my hand and wrapped it round his throbbing cock. “There’s no rush, my mate. Seb’s venom’s gonna be wearing off soon anyway. Just stroke me, I’m nearly there.”
Seb nodded. “I could muster up more if you give me time, but Dagger’s right. Don’t push it too far.”
“Then what about this?” I lifted my eyes up to Dagger’s face as I dropped my head lower and licked a long stripe from the base of his cock to the tip then wrapped my lips around the head.
I slid my palm back and forth, as I swirled my tongue around the base of his head, and sucked with a gentle pressure, loving the grimace of pleasure on his face.
“Fuck. That’s my good girl. Oh, fuck…”
Subtle salt wetness exploded across my tongue, and I swallowed with a sigh. His breathing became rapid, and he clasped my hair. “It’ll be a lot. You can take your mouth off, gorgeous.”
His dick still in my mouth, I shook my head, pushing my lips down his cock just a little, only taking an inch or two in.
He groaned and exploded. The sticky, hot liquid surged fast and furious. Way more than I’d expected. I swallowed twice but ended up drawing away, unable to keep pace with his flow.
My tongue and chin were coated, trickling warm trails down my neck, dripping on my breast as I laid back on the bed, trying to catch it in my fingers and enjoy it before it fell to the carpet.
Dagger lay down, and they cuddled me from either side. Their arms lay draped across me, our skin sticking together.
We’d have to get up to clean up in a bit, but I nestled down between them, letting my fingers memorize the hills and planes of their bodies, kissing the hollows of their throats as our collective breathing became slow and rhythmic.
I shut my eyes to store away every detail. Here, in the safe and loving space we’d made together. I just hoped Bryce would come in for a goodnight kiss and Hunter would be in soon too.
