Chapter 32 #2
Where’s Phoenix? The question pops in my mind a second before I feel my firebird’s hands on my ass.
He leans over my back, supporting his weight on one hand while he pulls my sweatpants down with the other. “Give her what she wants, Sebby. Give her that beautiful beta cock.”
Madi squirms against me, a gush of slick wetting her pussy, her arousal only heightened by the orgasm she just had.
I crawl up her body, stopping briefly to suck a nipple before moving all the way up so we’re face to face. Her brow is damp with sweat, but she looks up at me and smiles.
“Fishy,” she sighs happily.
“Yeah, ocean, I’m here.” I kiss her cheek, then her jaw, and an image of biting her right there makes me pull back.
A wounded look clouds her eyes. She grabs my face and pulls it to her neck.
“Bite,” she demands as if she can read my thoughts.
I can’t. This is just her heat talking. She can’t truly consent like this. But there are other things I can offer her. Things she wanted me to give her even when she wasn’t in heat. She made that clear when she invited me to her last heat and when we made out in that prison.
Thinking of that rock she lived on for days has me boiling with anger and the need to make her forget, to make her feel good, to let her know she isn’t alone.
“Can I fuck you, ocean?” Maybe it’s a pointless question when she’s like this, but I ask it anyway, needing the words.
“Yes, oh gods, yes.”
I shift my weight to position myself, but Phoenix beats me to it. He gets right up behind me and reaches around to take my cock in his hand. His warm touch feels like heaven as he lines me up with Madi’s entrance.
He lowers himself, bare body pressing into mine, cock right against my ass. “You might not be able to bite her yet, but you can bite me.”
He drops his hips with enough force to push me right into Madi.
“Oh, fuck,” I throw my head back on my firebird’s shoulder.
“She feels good, doesn’t she?” Phoenix whispers in my ear. “So tight and wet.”
All I can do is nod as I make tiny little circles with my hips, grinding against Madi’s clit. Fuck, I want to stay here forever.
“She’s ours,” Phoenix slides one hand between my thighs, past my balls, gathering the slick that’s drenching them. “You’re ours.”
He moves his wet hand through the crack of my ass, spreading Madi’s arousal everywhere.
“I know you’re scared, Sebby, and you don’t want to go through what your mom went through, but I’m never letting you go.
We’re never letting you go. Bite or not, I’ll be by your side in this life and the next, but please, please, Sebastian, let me be your alpha.
Let me bond you.” He breaches my back entrance with a wet finger.
“Let me feel you in my soul.” He adds a second finger and just holds them there without moving.
“Before we face whatever we’ll face tomorrow, let me—” His voice cracks.
“I need to be connected to you. Need to be able to sense you’re okay.
I love you, Sebby Webby. And this is right.
It’s fate. You know it is. You can’t deny it. ”
He’s urgent, desperate, pleading in a way that breaks my heart.
“Hmmm, yes,” Madi rocks her hips up into me, the movement sending Phoenix’s fingers deeper. “Bite. Bond. Ours. Our beta.”
My heart hammers in my ears, pulse throbbing from my fingers to my toes.
Am I really considering this? I swore I never would, but Nix is right.
I’m theirs. My firebird has my whole heart and always will.
Losing him would tear me apart with or without a bond.
At least with his claim on me, I’d know him fully, know if he’s okay or not, know all of his love, and he’d know mine.
I glance at Hunter. He watches silently with a look of approval and hunger in his eyes that shocks me. He wants this, too.
I reach behind me, grab the back of Phoenix’s head, look over my shoulder, and pull him into a kiss. Madi seems to love that, her scent growing impossibly strong. When we break apart to catch our breath, I bring my mouth to his jaw and give my answer with my teeth, tasting blood.
My half-formed bond with Phoenix is subtle, but it burns like fire in my heart, bright and warm and filled with giddy relief.
“Fuck, finally.” Phoenix pulls his fingers from my ass and replaces them with his cock in one eager push. His thrusts are brutal, slamming me deep into Madi, who’s a writhing mess beneath me.
I’m putty between them, and when my eyes catch on Hunter, it just adds to the overwhelming sensations. He’s putting on a show for me because he knows I like to watch. I curve my back so I can suck Madi’s breast, but I keep my eyes on Hunter as my firebird claims every inch of me.
Madi comes first, and for a moment, I can feel her ecstasy even through the thin bond with Phoenix. It slams out of her as she screams my name. Mine.
After that, it’s impossible to hold off my release any longer, my balls draw up, cock jerking as it stiffens even more and coats Madi’s walls.
That’s when Phoenix finally bites my shoulder, and my world fractures, remade into a mosaic of shining love.
I feel Phoenix, but more than that, too.
They’re all there to some extent, even Caspian.
Our missing piece. I’m surprised by the joy I sense from him, but there’s an undercurrent of melancholy to it.
Madi was right. He is distressed. Something is very wrong below the water. We need to get to him soon.
