Forty-Five

Cam

We returned home around nine, and since we'd spent the whole afternoon snacking—or maybe that was just me—none of us were hungry, so we decided to skip dinner.

My mates were clearly exhausted after all that socializing, and I could tell Micah's headache wasn't far behind. While I felt perfectly fine—unlike my mates, being social recharged my batteries instead of draining them—I stank of vanilla from the dip in the pond Caleb had forced me into.

It'd been a while since I'd pranked Caleb, but after our conversation that day he came to repair the sink, I'd wanted to do it again. Just because I was an adult now didn't mean I had to stop having fun, right? What was the point of living if you weren't going to try to enjoy every moment of your life?

We'd all slumped down on the couch once we got home—my clothes had dried on the flight home, the same way my hair got windswept despite not actually being there in dragon form—and even Jodi seemed tired as she lay on the floor in front of us, clearly pleased with the day she had.

Ember moved, pressing a kiss on Micah's forehead before standing up. "I'll make you some tea, okay?"

Micah nodded, and Ember glanced at me. I nodded, knowing what he wanted, and slid over into the spot he'd emptied before wrapping my arms around Micah as Kai did the same from his other side.

Kissing the top of his head, I smiled when Micah pressed his forehead against my neck, leaning into me.

"I promise I'll learn everything I can about my magic so you don't have to deal with these headaches anymore," I murmured, keeping my voice low so I wouldn't make his headache worse.

Since I was a naturally loud person, I'd had to practice speaking softly when we were younger, but I was good at it now. My mental voice could still get a little loud sometimes, which was why I preferred to speak aloud when Micah was dealing with a headache.

"I know you will. This helps too," Micah said, and I met Kai's eyes, my chest getting all fluttery from Micah's words and the warm look on Kai's face.

Ember returned with the tea, and we resituated, somehow ending up with Micah in Ember's lap with Kai and me on either side of them, all of us wrapped around Micah.

"I could fall asleep like this," Micah mumbled in Ember's neck, and I smiled.

"You can if you want to," I offered, and Ember hummed.

"I'll carry you upstairs, don't worry. Sleep, princess."

Micah made a happy sound, and mumbled an "I love you guys." It was only after he fell asleep that we realized he hadn't needed his tea. Usually, his headache was too bad for him to drop off without it. Had the cuddling helped that much?

"Shall we move to the bedroom?" Ember asked once it was clear Micah wasn't waking up anytime soon, and Kai agreed readily.

"You guys go ahead. I'm going to fly around for a bit. I have too much energy to drift off just yet."

Ember raised a brow at me as he stood, Micah perfectly cradled in his arms. "You know there are other ways to expel some energy, right?"

It took me a moment to realize what he was referring to, and he'd reached the base of the stairs by then, but once I did, I was fully on board. Except...

"Aren't you tired?"

Ember shrugged, then started up the stairs as I scrambled to follow. "You'll just have to do all the work then."

Grinning, I turned to Kai. "What about you?"

He shook his head. "I'm gonna wrap myself around Micah and wait for sleep. I wouldn't mind watching, though."

In the bedroom, Ember placed Micah on the right side with enough space on the other side for Kai to lie down before turning to me. I didn't waste a moment before pulling him into a kiss, and he hummed as I slid my tongue into his mouth and wrapped my hands around his luscious ass. I couldn't fuck him since that was one of the rules we'd settled on, but that was okay. There were other things we could do.

While Ember didn't enjoy receiving blowjobs, he loved giving them. I had to wonder if his dislike was related to his embarrassment at being big. Had someone made him feel bad about wanting a blowjob? I hoped he'd feel comfortable enough to tell us someday, and if he ever wanted one, I knew I would be the first in line to give him one.

For now, I told him to get undressed while I did the same, noticing that Kai had already finished undressing Micah down to his boxers and was now working on his own clothes.

Once Ember was bare, I led him to the bed, motioning for him to lie down before I straddled his waist.

"Hmm, what should I do? Should I fuck that delicious-looking mouth of yours or wrap my hand around both our dicks and jerk off until we come?" I asked as if I was really struggling with the question. I knew what I wanted to do more, but I'd enjoy both, so I left the ball in his court.

Ember gazed at me for a moment, his blue eyes blazing wildly, then parted his lips in answer.

Groaning, I knee-walked over his body, stopping when my knees were on either side of his head, and he reached up to cup my ass in his big hands, pulling me closer.

Holding my dick steady with one hand, I brushed the thumb of my other hand over his lower lip before slowly sliding into his mouth.

Fuck me hard. I can take it , Ember said in my mind, and I bit my lip to keep from groaning too loudly.

I was glad Micah had insisted on that long conversation, because otherwise I would've worried about having sex while one of our mates was sleeping beside us, but I knew that none of us had a problem with it.

Grabbing the headboard, I sank into Ember's mouth, feeling his throat convulse around my length as he took all of me into his mouth. Fuck, he was going to fucking shatter me. I just knew it.

Kai

Watching Cam and Ember, I realized that while I didn't want to climax myself just then—I didn't think I had enough energy to even get hard—I still wanted to participate.

So as Cam started fucking Ember's mouth with deep, steady strokes, I sat up and crawled around Micah until I was sitting beside Ember's hip. His cock was hard, the tip flushed and red with precum leaking from his slit.

Wanting to taste him, I brushed my index finger over his tip, then licked the precum off it, humming at the salty taste.

Spitting into my hand since I couldn't remember where the lube was, I wrapped it around Ember's cock, gliding my hand up and down. The spit mixed with the precum provided more than enough lubrication, and I started jacking him off, keeping in sync with Cam's thrusts into his mouth.

Ember groaned as he pushed up into my hand, urging me to go faster, but I kept pace with Cam, admiring the way the muscles of his back flexed as he moved. The four points of his mate mark were stark and clear against the skin of his hip, and my heart swelled like it always did when I saw it.

I traced the mirror of that mark that lay on Ember's right thigh, running my fingers over the four points that signified each of us. My own mark tingled against the center of my chest, as if they were all connected. Maybe they were, but either way, they linked us, marked us as belonging to each other, and I loved it.

"Fuck, Ember. Your mouth feels so good," Cam panted, speeding up as he drew closer to his climax. I hastened up too, jacking Ember off faster as his hips moved restlessly, pushing up into my hand again and again.

Cam climaxed with a muffled shout, his whole body shaking as he spilled down Ember's throat. It wasn't long before Ember came as well, his release covering my hand and his abdomen as he shuddered under me.

Not feeling like going all the way to the bathroom for a cloth, I waited until Cam moved off Ember and lay beside him to speak.

"Ember, can I lick you clean?"

Ember groaned, throwing his arm over his face, then nodded.

Smiling, I cleaned off my hand first before starting on his abdomen, saving his cock for last.

Once his belly was free of cum, I focused on his cock, wrapping my tongue around his width as I licked every inch of him clean. He was big for sure, and I enjoyed having my mouth around him.

I sat up when there wasn't a drop of cum left, and beamed at him. "There. All done."

He'd removed his arm from his face at some point, and I couldn't quite read the look on his face. "You didn't mind it? Doing that?"

I blinked, confused. "Why would I mind? I offered, didn't I?"

Ember nodded, but he still looked a little stumped, so I straddled him, then lay down on top of him, folded my arms on his chest, and rested my chin on them. "What's this about?"

He gazed into my eyes, then sighed once as Cam slid his arm over my back, cuddling into our sides.

"I guess some people don't really like how big I am. Or at least not when it comes to blowjobs."

Cam growled, his voice more dragon than human, then leaned up on his elbow to look at Ember.

"You listen to me, Ember. If you hadn't explicitly told us you didn't like blowjobs, I'd have had you in my mouth the first time we were in bed together. Whoever told you that clearly wasn't worthy of your cock anyway. If you want us to, Kai and I will worship your cock the way it deserves to be. But if that's not something you want, that's okay too, as long as you really don't enjoy it and aren't just saying so because you think we wouldn't want to."

Ember looked stunned, and honestly, so was I. Cam almost never sounded as stern as he did right then, and it was enough to show Ember that he meant it.

"Maybe next time?" he asked hesitantly, and Cam grinned before leaning down to kiss Ember.

"Just you wait," he said when he pulled back, his smile firmly back in place. "I'll rock your world."

I didn't doubt his claim at all, and one look at Ember told me neither did he.

Leaning down, I gave Ember a soft kiss before moving to my previous spot on Micah's other side, and Cam settled between Micah and Ember.

Ember turned on his side and wrapped his arms around Cam, and I did the same with Micah, then clasped my hand around Ember's so we were touching as well.

He smiled at me, and I loved how content he looked. I'd miss him when he had to leave, but knowing he'd be back in six months would help. Hopefully.

"That was so much better than flying around in the sky," Cam declared after a moment, and I smiled as my eyes slid shut, sleep pulling at me now that all my mates were comfy and in bed with me.

"Good night. I love you both," I said, forcing my eyes open so I could look at them.

Cam turned to smile at me, then blew me a kiss. "Night, Kai. Love you too."

"I love you too," Ember added, then glanced at Cam. "You too."

"I love you as well, my sweet Ember."

Pressing a kiss against Micah's temple, I murmured an 'I love you' for him as well, hoping he'd hear me in his dreams.

Then I switched off the lamps and cuddled into him, finally letting sleep drag me into darkness as I felt a small weight hop onto the bed before walking over to curl up on Micah's chest while a bigger weight settled at our feet.

I was so glad we had such a massive bed.
