Nix
After Rowan had been lying in bed with me for a while, I’d fully relaxed, holding her close to me.
I’d missed holding on to my mate more than I could say.
That hospital bed, while certainly not terrible, was lonely.
I’d only been burned a little, after all, and every other part of me had gotten really bored while lying around, doing nothing.
“I just wish Ma healed as quickly and thoroughly as you did.” At Rowan’s dejected words, I peered down at her, my brows furrowing.
“I’ve been using that salve as much as I can, making more nearly every day.
I know she was burned by dragon fire, though.
That’s… well, that’s a lot worse than regular fire.
And Ma is older. Her body isn’t as proficient at healing as it once was.
I mean, she’s getting back to normal, which is good.
Hell, she’s been cursing out the younger dragons I have keeping her in bed. I just—”
“Rowan.” I shifted so that I could look her in the eye, lifting her chin. “You’re doing everything you can. We all see that. It’s okay to be worried, but you need to cut yourself some slack.”
The surprise on her face melted away, and Rowan sagged, resting her head against my chest. She sighed, her breath warm on my chest, then mumbled, “I know. Ugh, I really do. It’s just… hard. I’m so stressed and anxious. I can’t relax. I feel like I should be doing more somehow.”
“The only thing you should be doing is relaxing with me, letting me take your mind off things.” I pulled her up again, kissing her gently. “I’ve heard I’m pretty good at distracting you.”
She smiled, cocking a brow at me. “Oh, really? And who says that?”
Swiftly, I rolled Rowan onto her back, hovering over her as I dusted my lips across hers, whispering, “You did. In fact, you once said that the best distraction from the real world is…”
I kissed her again, dragging my lips down her neck and over her chest, taking her breast in my hand and squeezing. She groaned low, humming and arching into my touch as her eyes rolled closed.
“…getting laid.”
Rowan giggled, eyeing me as I kissed her stomach, reaching for the waistband of her leggings and beginning to roll them down.
“I did not say ‘getting laid.’” She laughed when I yanked her pants off, crawling up her body, winding my touch across her thighs until I was between her legs, ghosting my touch over the waistband of her underwear. “I wouldn’t phrase it that way.”
“Apologies.” I teased her folds, making Rowan’s breath hitch in her chest, her back arching again. “I may be paraphrasing. It was closer to, ‘My mates taking care of me.’”
She hummed, a squeak leaving her as I pressed against her harder, finding her clit underneath the fabric. “That sounds more like it.”
“The only sounds I’m concerned about right now are the ones you make when you come.”
Rowan’s eyes flared wide, her head tilting toward me. I seized the opportunity to kiss her, slipping my hand into her underwear and stroking up and down her slit, loving how wet she was for me.
“Nix,” she moaned, rocking her hips up into my touch. “I really don’t think… Oh, fuck it.”
I couldn’t help but chuckle at how quickly she gave in. Rowan was my perfect match, and I fucking adored her.
She grabbed the hem of her shirt, hauling it over her head, and then I did the same with her underwear, taking them off and letting them drop to the floor.
I was back in place in seconds, pulled to Rowan’s mouth as I slipped my fingers between her legs once more and explored her slick pussy.
As she devoured my mouth, I pushed two fingers inside her, stroking her walls, moving in and out, enjoying the way it made her squirm.
“Oh fuck… Nix…” Rowan was deliciously breathless, and I was on cloud fucking nine. I’d been waiting to do this every day I was in that damned clinic, seeing my mate but unable to do more than steal the odd kiss here and there.
It was no way to live, and I was thrilled to be able to claim her again. She had unfortunately denied my requests to play a little healer and patient.
I moved slowly, purposefully. I wanted this to last. If I’d had to stay in that bed for days, I was going to make up for it with at least a good hour of sex.
Truth be told, I wanted several hours, but after so long without my mate, or even a little self-loving, my stamina wasn’t at its peak.
“Hey.” A familiar voice broke through the haze, and I paused, looking down at Rowan, whose eyes widened. “I was just coming in to check on—Umm, okay. Not what I expected.”
I turned to glance over my shoulder at Orsen as Rowan peeked out from her position under me, her expression glazed and hungry.
“Get over here,” she demanded, holding out a hand toward Orsen.
Fuck yes. If my greedy mate wanted more, then by fuck, we were going to give her more.
“Don’t have to ask me twice.” He grinned, kicking the door shut and walking over as he pulled off his shirt.
I kneeled on one side as Orsen climbed onto the bed, Rowan scooting herself into the middle.
Her hands went to his belt buckle, Orsen level with her head on the mattress.
I knew exactly what they were getting at, and it gave me nothing but ideas.
I clambered down the bed, positioning myself between Rowan’s legs, which I threw over my shoulders as I lay on my stomach.
Being between Rowan’s legs was a special kind of heaven. She could smother me to death with her thighs, and I would die with a giant grin on my face.
“Nix.” My name whispered out of her mouth on a plea, and I dove right in, sweeping my tongue through her folds and drinking her down.
Looking at her, I relished the way her eyes shut, her hips lifting to my mouth as I tasted her, using every trick I’d learned from before to make her see stars.
Simultaneously, Orsen pulled his erection free of his pants, his belt clattering as he let the two ends fall.
Planting a hand on the headboard, he leaned toward Rowan.
She wrapped her hand around him, extending her tongue to lick over his head.
“Fuuuck…” he groaned, and I got back to work doing the same to our mate while he mumbled, “This is way better than what I expected when I came to our room.”
I drove my tongue deep inside her, gathering up Rowan’s taste, then licked her clit, sucking it into my mouth rhythmically. She clamped her legs around my head, her free hand tangling in my hair. I knew she would’ve called out if it weren’t for the fact her mouth was rather busy.
It didn’t take long for her walls to clench around my fingers, pulsing as she came with a muffled cry.
Call me a sap, but the sounds of her cries were exactly what I needed to really heal from the fire.
My mate’s kisses definitely had healing properties, but it was nothing compared to actually claiming her like this.
She pulsed against my tongue, and when her orgasm backed off, I pushed onto my knees again, locking eyes with Orsen. We instantly devised the same silent plan, and as Rowan blinked and hummed happily on the bed, I scooped her up into a seated position.
“Help me with the button, would you, mate?”
She chewed on her lip, smiling as she unbuttoned my pants and then pulled on the zipper.
I yanked my shirt over my head, and then Orsen was behind Rowan, now naked as well.
He grabbed her hips, lifting her so that he could lie underneath her.
As soon as I could, I replaced his grip with mine, holding Rowan up as I got into place, kneeling close enough to Orsen that we could both have her.
My erection strained, knot thrumming, and I held Rowan against my chest, her arms around my neck as I sheathed myself inside her tight pussy.
“Ugh, yessss…” Her eyes remained closed for a moment, but then she seemed to remember Orsen, and she looked over her shoulder. “What are you…?”
“Oh, we’re both going to make sure you forget everything else outside this room.”
Rowan’s eyes shot wider than ever. “What? You’re going to—Orsen, I…”
“Don’t worry, beautiful.” He gently glided his fingers between her legs, gathering up her juices as I began to slowly pump in and out. “I know you enjoy it… from past experience, in fact.”
“Umm…” She swallowed, looking between the two of us.
“Let me show you.” Rowan tightened around me as he slipped his finger in, massaging her ass from the inside. Her eyes went wide, mouth falling open.
“Oh my word… He…”
“Feels good, doesn’t it?” I said smugly.
“So good,” Rowan agreed with a small whine.
Orsen nipped at her shoulder. “Just wait until it’s my cock filling you, and you have no idea where you end and I begin.” As he spoke, his thrusts got more intense, and Rowan pushed her hips back, meeting them.
“Three fingers already?” Orsen chuckled. “She’s fucking perfect for us, isn’t she?”
“Undoubtedly,” I agreed, leaning forward to lap at her nipple, sucking it deeply one moment then feathering it with gentle kisses the next.
“Are you ready for me?” Orsen asked, lining himself up. When he removed his fingers, she whimpered at the loss. Her eyes glazed over and hungry.
She was more than ready.
As he began to take her from behind, and she gasped, eyes clamping shut. “Breathe, baby. Just relax.”
She did, and I helped hold her until Orsen was fully inside her, his cock filling her ass as I was in her pussy. That alone was enough to have me nearly coming, and then Rowan moaned, her head dropping back as I eased my grip on her, letting her rest on Orsen’s hips.
We fucked her with slow, alternating thrusts. Rowan was utterly blissed out, her eyes fluttering as she breathed through her mouth, rocking against us to heighten the sensation.
The slow dance became a potent spell of thrusts and grunts. We stretched our mate around our cocks, and I was losing my mind. I’d thought a bit of foreplay was all I’d be getting, so this was the best fucking surprise in the entire world.
And I wanted to come—right now.
I barely restrained myself, sinking in up to my knot, the sensitive ring of flesh beginning to ease into her.
“Oh God… It’s so much… so… good…” Rowan circled her hips, working my knot inside her. “Ugh, Nix!”
“You’re taking us so well, gorgeous.” I squeezed her hip, my mind scrambling as I timed my thrust with Orsen, blown apart by how damn incredible it felt. “You’re perfect.”
I couldn’t hold back a moment longer, and, stuffed deep in Rowan’s pussy, with her walls pulsing around my knot, I came, emptying myself into her on a groan.
“Fuck.” I gave her everything I had, holding my weight on my hands as I craned over her, trying to catch my breath.
The orgasm helped to relax Rowan all the more, and I felt Orsen’s knot sink into her ass.
The sensations were so intense, our perfect mate stretched around us.
Then, in a blur of pleasure and time, Orsen was coming, his erection jerking in Rowan’s ass, which, of course, rocked me, and another tiny release shot out of me.
“Goddammit, Rowan. You took us so well.” Orsen’s voice was breathy and rough.
“I…. Hmmm.” Rowan sighed, her eyes closed, her mind likely offline.
We collapsed onto our sides, a tangle of limbs, as we all struggled to breathe, a sweaty, amazing marathon complete. Exhaustion claimed us all, and we slowly drifted to sleep.
