Chapter 22

Ruya

I woke up slowly, feeling safe and content. The feeling wasn't new, I had learned it well since the rebels stole me from the Order. But now that I knew what it was like, I gloried in the sensation every chance I got. And this time it was different… more.

I lay on my side, one arm tucked under my pillow, with a warm presence on either side of me. Still half-way between sleep and awake, I nestled back into the solid body behind me, letting out a little sigh when an unmistakable hardness pressed against my butt. My body lit up at the suggestive movement, and I moaned a soft encouragement. A strong arm around my waist assisted, fitting me closer as Sadavir nuzzled my hair, breathing me in.

Then I smelled smoke, and registered that I was still wrapped up in two auras. The auras of two alphas who only barely tolerated each other from across the room on a good day.

"Ruya," Robin purred, her husky voice filled with a conflicting combination of warning and lust. Her movements contradicted the warning. A graceful hand warmed from within by dragon fire brushed along my cheek, tucking my hair back behind my hear and exposing my neck to Sadavir's attention. He obligingly pressed a kiss to my neck, making me shudder.

When Sadavir dragged the delicate points of his fangs across the sensitive skin, I sucked in a breath, my body bowing in response… pushing me right up against Robin. I froze, but the dragon simply stretched, the sinuous movement pressing us closer. Robin's heated touch drifted from my cheek, down my throat, and to my chest, coming to rest over my breast, the light touch making me want so much more. As her thumb circled my hardened nipple through the layers of my clothes, she pressed a slow, deep kiss to my lips. Then she pulled back.

Sadavir's hand moved lower, stroking over my hip and down to my belly, his fingers teasing underneath my waistband in silent question. Robin nipped at my chin. "You want this so badly, don't you, omega?" she purred. "To be pinned between your two alphas, two immensely powerful people both devoted purely to your pleasure?"

My throat constricted. I knew they didn't care for each other. I knew what the right answer should be. But I couldn't make myself speak. A soft whine escaped, as I fought to choose between what I should do and what I wanted.

"Words, Ruya, darling," Robin said, amusement lacing her soft murmur.

Sadavir pressed against me again, as if begging me to speak. "Yes," I gasped. "More than you can ever possibly imagine… please ."

Robin's lips met mine again as Sadavir pressed an open-mouthed kiss to my neck, his hand drifting lower, pressing against my mound though my clothing, teasing, questioning. I rocked into his touch as I lifted my hand to cup Robin's cheek, deepening our kiss with a little moan.

Robin pulled back, pausing to nip at my lower lip before she spoke in her "alpha voice," all business. "I will be here with you while you enjoy your pet, darling. But if we are going to do this, there will be rules," she said evenly. "Boundaries."

I nodded. "Of course."

"This is about pleasuring my potential mate," Robin continued. "I have no interest in fucking your snake. And I will remain fully clothed." I could practically feel her glaring at Sadavir. "I could care less if you expose yourself. But you will not touch me."

I leaned in and kissed the sharp line of Robin's jaw, letting her know I understood. She was so sensual, and so confident in her body and her identity any time I'd been in bed with her, whether alone or with Sanka. But I knew she wasn't that open with just anyone. And showing vulnerability in front of another powerful alpha—one she saw as competition—would be far too much to ask. Even just setting these boundaries might be interpreted as fear, by another alpha. I knew Robin was always forthright with this sort of thing. She wouldn't even offer, if she wasn't truly interested. But she had her right to her boundaries and limits. "Of course," I murmured easily. "No one here wants you to do anything you aren't comfortable with, alpha."

I spoke confidently for both me and Sadavir. I didn't know how much of Robin's gender orientation or personal preferences he had picked up on, but I was confident that he wouldn't ever judge her. Not for that anyway. Alpha posturing and nonsense, of course. But never something so personal and important. However, I wasn't sure Robin knew that. I recognized this massive act of courage and selflessness for the gift it was.

Sadavir threaded a hand through my hair and tugged lightly, pulling my head back and to the side so he could claim my mouth. "Agreed," he said aloud. Then he released me, and I felt him moving as he signed something to Robin.

As hesitant as Robin was to share her body with the naga, I didn't think Sadavir had any such hang-ups. But I also suspected I wouldn't be able to appreciate his beautiful, powerful naga form this time around. He would want to remain human in front of Robin. Though their reasons may be vastly different, they both had parts of themselves that they weren't comfortable sharing with just anyone.

Robin laughed, short and wry. "Your snake says I should be so lucky to experience the true pleasures of his body." Her voice was dry when she added, " I am rolling my eyes right now, in case you wondered. You certainly have a knack for choosing the arrogant ones, darling."

I laughed at their stupid rivalry. "You're both beautiful," I said firmly. "And anyone would be lucky to be loved by either of you. This isn't a competition. And you don't have to cater to my fantasies, you know. I might daydream of everyone sharing everything, but I honestly don't want either of you to do anything you don't want to do."

Sadavir snorted and nipped at my shoulder. Robin huffed a laugh that sent the scent of cinnamon and incense dancing through the air. "Neither of us are prepared to walk away from you right now, Ruya. Now let's get rid of your clothes so we can properly fulfill those fantasies of yours, darling."

I sucked in a breath and tried to calm my racing heart as two pairs of hands stripped off my clothes, leaving me naked between the two fully clothed alphas. It was strange. But at the same time… erotic. I was the focus. They were here only to pleasure me. And I knew they both enjoyed the view, if past encounters were anything to go by. It was a wickedly delicious thought.

Sadavir urged me up and gently pushed me toward Robin. I crawled over her, kissing her deeply as she fitted her leg between my own. Her legging-clad thigh pressed against my eager core as I ground down, pressing my own hip and thigh against her swollen pouch. The unusually wicked, possessive thought danced through my head—she would smell like me after this; my scent would cling to her clothing. Every shifter in the court would know what we had been up to. Some very un-priestess like part of me gloried in that. In the thought of marking her the way the others loved to do to me. It was a heady feeling, as if I was the one doing the claiming and the possessing now. My alphas. Mine.

Robin's forked tongue danced against my own, and another forked tongue flicked against the back of my neck as Sadavir leaned over me. He kissed my shoulder as he stroked my ass, his big hand sliding down between my legs to tease at my pussy as I ground my clit against Robin's leg. I hated the clothing between us, hated that I couldn't feel Robin's silken skin, but still, fire coursed through my veins at her every touch. At the feeling of both their auras twining with my own.

I lifted my hips, giving Sadavir better access as he slipped a finger inside me. Robin growled, the sound rumbling through me where her chest pressed to mine. Her hands gripped my hips so hard her nails dug into my skin as she fought her possessive dragon nature, but she made no move to stop what was happening.

When I was shaking and begging, Sadavir slipped an arm between us. Robin tensed at the brush of his arm against her waist, but she behaved as he lifted me away and re-arranged us, positioning me so I straddled his hips as he sat against the headboard, my back to his chest and his massive bulge trapped between us, hidden from me by his sweatpants.

Robin murmured appreciatively when Sadavir used his legs to spread my own, leaving me on full display while he fondled my breasts. "Invitation accepted," she purred, crawling between our legs, her warm hands sliding over my thighs, parting me wider, leaving me feeling utterly exposed. I let my head drop back against Sadavir's shoulder as my hips lifted to meet Robin's hot mouth. That amazing tongue laved at my slit, then flicked over my clit in an undulating swipe, and I mewled in pleasure.

Sadavir shifted around, urging me up slightly. Robin withdrew and I wanted to cry in disappointment before I realized what Sadavir was doing. He pressed a hand against my lower back, urging me forward and up and I thought he was probably pulling the waistband of his sweats down just enough to pull out his cock. Then I felt the delicious press of the thick twin heads of his forked dick against my folds. "Oh, goddess, yes," I breathed as he slowly urged me back, stretching me, pressing in deep as he filled me completely.

When I rested back against his chest once more, filled so deep it hovered on the edge of pain, he used his hands to move my hips as he undulated smoothly beneath me. Pleasure rippled through me. My legs were still splayed wide. I tried to move, but it was nearly impossible while I was positioned like this. One of his big hands came up to rest at the base of my throat, holding me in place.

I shuddered, but I got the message. They were going to do all the work. I was just here to reap all the pleasure from their attentions.

Robin's husky voice made me shiver. "Oh, Ruya, as much as I hate to admit this, you do look so beautiful on your current seat."

She crawled between our legs once more and drew one of my sensitive breasts into her mouth, flicking her tongue over the nipple. She alternated light nips and sucking kisses across my skin as she once again moved downward, to resume her assault on my clit.

No one said anything about how close Robin was to Sadavir, and I resolutely vowed to keep it that way. Though if I was right, he had only exposed the necessary bits. If they weren't worrying about it, I wasn't about to bring it up—despite how hot I found the thought. Besides, pleasure made it rather hard to think, and before long, I was entirely lost to the sensations they wrung from my body.

My magic reached for theirs, our auras blending even further, heightening the pleasure. Sadavir went back to moving, using his hands to gently rock my hips as he pressed in deep, while Robin worked my clit, her warm hands smoothing over my thighs, her silky hair spilling over my leg, adding to the sensations consuming me. Sadavir kept one hand around my throat, not choking me, but with just enough pressure to keep me from escaping as they had their way with me.

I felt orgasm building like a swelling tidal wave, and let myself freefall into the sensations. My breath came short as I climaxed in a rush that left me gasping and trembling. I clenched around Sadavir's girth, clutching him deep inside me.

I both reveled in and cursed my unique anatomy. But neither of my alphas complained. Sadavir undulated his hips in slow, shallow motions, moving the barest bit because of my clutch, but keeping the arousal humming within me. Robin swiped her tongue over me in a slow, soothing rhythm doing the same.

Eventually my clutching eased enough for Sadavir to move again. Robin swiped her tongue over me one last time before withdrawing. "I think she needs to be fucked harder this time, naga," she said in a haughty tone. "Is that all you've got?"

Sadavir hissed and surged up beneath me. I fell forward and he followed, re-arranging us so I was on my hands and knees. He smoothed a big hand down my spine in a soft caress, and I knew the pause was for my benefit. "Please," I begged, giving him my consent to do as Robin had suggested. He gripped my hips and eased back in, carefully at first, then, assured I was well, he drove into me hard and fast. The slap of our skin meeting and the low rumble of Robin's appreciation were music to my ears, spurring me toward another climax. My tits bounced with every forceful thrust, his thick cock stroking all the right places.

I moaned loudly. Robin's husky voice spoke over the noises I made, and I thought she was signing to Sadavir, though she spoke for my benefit. "Just like that, snake. You should hear her," she murmured. "The sounds she makes are heaven. She'll be screaming for you before long." A heated caress stroked across my lower belly, and I gasped as her graceful fingers found my clit. "Let it out, Ruya. That's a good girl."

The words had no sooner left her lips than I was doing just that, crying out as I came again, clenching around the massive girth inside me as Sadavir thrust home one last time, his massive cock pulsing inside me.

Sadavir and I were locked together for a time. But surprisingly, while the rival alpha held me close, his dick still buried inside me as he planted soft kisses to my neck and shoulder… Robin didn't leave my side.

Eventually, I released Sadavir, and he slowly withdrew. I drew Robin into a soft kiss and murmured against her lips. "What about you, princess?" I asked, my voice huskier than usual. "We've both selfishly had our fun, but you—"

Robin interrupted my words with another kiss. Then she pulled back. "Don't worry, love. I quite enjoyed the show. You can make it up to me later. When we're alone."

Sadavir caressed my hip, then shuffled around. When he spoke, I realized he must be sitting on the edge of the bed. "Thank you," he enunciated slowly. Then he kissed my temple and withdrew. I wasn't sure if he was thanking me or Robin. Perhaps both. Either way, it warmed my heart.

Robin huffed from somewhere beside me. "Your pet wants me to tell you that he will leave us now, so I can be alone with you and finish what we started, if I wish." She sniffed haughtily. "As if I need your permission to spend time with my mate, snake."

I smacked at her gently, landing a soft blow to what felt like her shoulder as I sat up beside her. "Be nice, Robin."

She leaned over and bit my ear, startling me. "I am being nice, Ruya, darling," she purred. "He's still alive, isn't he?"

I shook my head at her nonsense. I meant to say something more to Sadavir, maybe thank him for his thoughtfulness, but the click of the door closing told me I had missed my chance.

Robin nudged my shoulder with her own. "Come on, let's get the snake taint cleaned off you so we can cuddle."

I huffed. But I didn't fight her as she herded me into the shower. And when she stripped and joined me, lovingly washing my hair and massaging my shoulders under the hot spray, I felt so very loved and accepted.

It didn't take too much convincing on my part for her to let me sink to my knees and take care of her with my mouth, and I lapped up her molten release as if it were mana from heaven.

Giggling and stumbling, love drunk and sated, still reeling from the strange turn the afternoon had taken, I dried off and flopped into bed with Robin, and was nearly asleep again before my head hit the pillow.
