Seventeen

Rainbow

Both of my mates were out cold, or at least they should be for a couple of hours, at least. Though with the way my luck was going, it would be far less. The potion I'd accidentally given Sunny should keep him under for at least an hour. Given how badly injured his back was, it could be longer. I was concerned with how slowly he was healing.

Griffin… well, I had no idea how effective it would be on Were physiology. While he was down, I had to make sure he couldn't get out again.

All the panic from being attacked, and everything after, had my mind spinning. My thoughts weren't making much sense. I couldn't have been bitten by a Were, could I? No, the wolf was too aware. It was a targeted attack. Still, the worry lingered.

Daring them to wake while I ran to my house, going by the stuff I left with Sunny, since it wasn't that strong, to grab my spare glasses and some of my kit. I moved as quickly as I was able, my leg still stiff and sore while I worked. What all did I need?

Jinx, safe and sound in his vivarium, was staring at me, worried. "I'm okay," I told him. "I'll be back in the morning, okay?"

While I wanted to take Jinx with me, I didn't want to put him in danger.

Getting my glasses on was a relief. It took me a while to find them, too long. I needed to be neater. I hated being without them, only seeing shades of gray. Feeling so vulnerable was worse around such powerful people. Sunny had been easy to trust after our time together, getting to know each other. Daisy had been surprisingly helpful, too. I was glad she was there.

"Rainbow?" came a tentative voice.

"I'm okay, Daisy. Are you alright?"

"Is Sunny okay?" I was concerned she wasn't answering my question, but there wasn't a whole lot I could do for her. My men needed me.

"He's a little hurt. Nothing I can't heal. Both him and Griffin are sleeping right now. I've got to get back." I really hoped she understood me making them my priority.

"But you're all okay?" she sounded a little more hopeful, more like herself.

"We'll be fine. Guard the house, okay?"

"I will. I'm sorry. The shifter didn't give me a chance to warn you! I hit him. Broke some plates." I could see her wringing her hands with shame.

"It's fine, Daisy. We'll catch him. I promise." It was hard, wanting to hug her and reassure her properly, but being unable to.

"Did I help you? With the potions?"

"You did a great job. Without you, I'd have mixed them up and made more problems."

Happier, Daisy nodded and faded from view. Using her energy to attack the wolf had probably overtaxed her and the crystals needed to be recharged. She would need to recover, something I would help with after I got my mates fixed up. Sunny would be better at it than me. I needed him to be okay.

Back in the shed, I found a length of chain and tied it around the door, keeping it closed. With a spell, I reinforced the lock. Hopefully, if Griffin woke, it would hold long enough for me to get Sunny up to protect us.

I'd underestimated my vampire. He had put himself in the way of danger to make sure I was safe. Not once had I seen a trace of hunger as I bled on the floor. He would heal, but he'd lost a lot of blood while I barely had a scratch on me after the healing potion. I'd been wrong to fear him. The venom from the scratches and bites he'd sustained really were slowing his healing. I was getting worried about how long it was taking them to close.

Carefully, I moved Sunny, a dead weight, so I could run a damp cloth over his wounds. I rubbed a healing potion over them and he winced.

"Bow?" he asked groggily.

"Sorry, I'm just healing you." I felt bad I had to hurt him to help him.

"Griffin?"

"Out cold." He shuddered as I made another pass with the cloth, aggravating his still healing wounds. "Sorry, I got you."

He gave a weak chuckle and tried to sit up. "All is well." Sunny cupped my cheek. "Are you okay?"

I collapsed into his waiting arms. The tears I thought I was done with flowed again. "I was so scared!"

Sunny held me for a long time, smoothing his hands over my unruly hair I still hadn't cut and down my back. We were both such a mess! I clutched him to me, whispering, "I'm sorry!" over and over.

"You've got nothing to be sorry for."

"We could have lost you."

With both hands, he held my face gently, so I was looking straight into those pretty pale blue eyes. They were like winter ice, but blazed with heat for me.

"It'll take more than a werewolf to part me from you. Thanks to you, I've barely got a scratch on me now."

"But—"

"No, we don't want our wolf feeling bad, do we? He's waking up. Watch."

Griffin groaned with pain as his body flexed and shifted. Bones broke and reformed anew. His fur receded to hair, leaving him naked on the floor.

"Could you?" I pointed to the lock on the door.

Sunny stood with some difficulty. He took the chain and wrenched it apart, then stumbled.

Our wolf was there to catch him. "Easy," he muttered, voice rough, probably from all the growling and snarling.

"What's wrong?" I cried, going to their side. They were huddled on the floor together, Griffin hunched over Sunny protectively.

"Just… need to feed," Sunny gasped, clutching an arm over his stomach.

Feeding. I'd thought about it. How intimate it was. How necessary blood was to Sunny's life. If he didn't feed, he could die a painful death.

I dropped to my knees in front of him, making a decision. "Can I?" I raised my wrist to him. Over the last few days, I'd wondered what it would be like to feed Sunny. He had been open about only feeding from humans occasionally, sometimes during sex. Learning that he lived on animal blood soothed some irrational fear inside me. Of course he had to drink blood to survive, it was part of being a vampire I couldn't escape, but knowing he bought his blood and didn't harm people just fit with what I knew about Sunny.

My vampire mate was sweet, attentive to a fault, and so gentle. He would only harm to protect others. I knew it down to my bones.

Two sets of eyes met mine. One a deep brown, the other ice blue.

"Are you sure?" Griffin asked.

"Yes. Sunny won't take more than he needs. It's something I have to do." I needed this to crumble the last of my walls to dust.

Griffin seemed to understand what I was trying to say. He sat down, still holding onto Sunny.

"Have to?" Sunny's expression was pained and perplexed.

"To prove that you being a vampire won't scare me away any more. Now I've seen the worst of both of you, and I'm still here. I still want what we could have."

Sunny's hand reached for my wrist. I moved closer so he could bring it to his mouth. His eyes told me I could stop this at any second. I didn't need to. With Sunny, I was safe. I wanted to give him the gift of my blood after he had protected me so well.

He kissed my wrist at my pulse point before opening his mouth, letting his fangs extend, and after a final pause, biting.

The initial flash of pain turned to something mellow, a calm I couldn't describe. Then, as he sucked, my dick gave a twitch in my pants.

Wow! I understood now why people liked this. It was nice. I could imagine Sunny feeding from my neck while my cock was inside him, or even the other way around, and yeah, I was hard.

So intimate.

I didn't want him doing this with anyone else, except maybe Griffin. Oh, wow, now I was harder just imagining Griffin driving into Sunny while our vampire sucked his blood from his chest.

With a final lick to close the wound, Sunny kissed my now unblemished wrist again and said, "so sweet."

Okay, I was going to need to do something about this boner. So uncomfortable. I tried to adjust myself unnoticed.

Griffin must have scented my situation before Sunny did, who looked blissed out and flushed on my blood. Why was that so hot?

"Need some help with that?" Griffin smirked.

"Hmm, I'd like to help him with that," Sunny breathed. "Why don't we go inside and get showered? Griffin has a rather large bed I'm certain we'll all fit in."

My eyes met Griffin's, the one of us I was least certain about. He looked determined and slightly aroused already. I could see his cock thickening against his thigh. Oh, wow, he was gifted there.

"I'm up for a shower with my mates."

Both my mates naked and wet? I'd never moved so fast!

Griffin's house was nice, but I barely noticed as I followed our wolf to his enormous bathroom. A separate shower stall with dual rainfall heads dominated the space. There was a bench, which I was sure was about to come in handy since neither of my mates were steady on their feet.

Sunny ripped the remains of his clothes off his body while leaning on Griffin, letting his phone clatter to the tiled floor.

I bent to retrieve it and set it on the vanity along with mine and my glasses, turning the world to shades of gray. Both of the devices had seen better days, but looked like they were working. I stripped and strode to the shower to get it running.

Between us, we managed to get Sunny onto the bench as the water began to steam up the bathroom.

"He's beautiful, isn't he? You are, too. I can't believe this is happening," Griffin whispered. The confession was intended for me, yet it exposed such vulnerability that I felt like I shouldn't be listening to it.

Reaching for his hand, I pulled him into the shower.

The water fell on us, washing the blood and dirt from our skin.

Sunny beckoned me closer. He snagged an arm around my waist, pulling me into his lap, where he took my mouth in a deep kiss.

Behind me, Griffin crowded close, going to his knees so he could kiss up my neck. He stroked along my body and Sunny's, reaching round so he could claim Sunny's lips when they parted from mine.

They were so beautiful together. Even with my world just in gray-scale, I could look at them all day.

Griffin took my mouth next, as Sunny's hands traced my form and Griffin's. We were one under the water until need forced us to separate.

The least injured of all of us, I took charge and washed my mates. Griffin was putty in my hands as I worked the shampoo into his dark hair. I ran my blunt fingernails over his scalp, eliciting a moan from him. He hugged my body to him, pressing kisses to my stomach.

Compared to my mates, I was softer, rounder, but instead of making me feel lesser, they seemed to adore it. They played with my body as I tried to get us all clean.

By the time we were properly washed, I ached with need. All I wanted to do was fuck or be fucked by one or both of my mates. I turned off the water, determined to get exactly what I deserved.

Throwing fluffy towels at them both, I dried off as best I could, given how turned on I was about getting my mates into a bed.

We couldn't have our first time together in the shower!

"Are you sure about this?" Griffin asked. "You barely know me."

"Maybe not, but I trust fate. There's our bond pulling us together. We are made for each other, all of us. What you can't give me, Sunny does. The same for you. What I give is something Sunny can't. We are pieces of a puzzle."

Griffin's smile was soft and unsure. He helped Sunny, who was more steady on his feet now than before. Both my mates sat on the bed, looking at me expectantly. They were so beautiful next to each other.

"Besides, I've watched you almost as much as you've watched me. You're a good man, Griffin. I know you'll be a loving and attentive mate."

"Probably not as attentive as your vampire stalker," he teased, pulling me to stand between his spread thighs.

"I know what I want, and I go for it," Sunny said, with an unrepentant grin, his arm casually around Griffin. "I prefer to bottom, so which one of you is going to fuck me, or do you want to take turns?"

My eyes met Griffin's. He pointed to himself. "Strict top."

"Well, isn't this perfect?" I drawled, "since I'm vers."

"Hmm, I want Bow to fuck me, while you fill him, Alpha." He grabbed Griffin's chin to pull him into a kiss.

Seeing what we needed, I reached over Sunny to grab the lube. "I'm on board with that plan."

The other two broke apart so Sunny could get more comfortable on the bed. I crawled over him, kissing every inch of him I could manage, before slicking up a couple of fingers with the lube, so I could stretch him.

At the same time I sank a finger inside Sunny, Griffin was stretching me out. He was thicker than me, so I needed more work than Sunny.

I raised my ass in the air teasingly as I bent to suck Sunny's cock. For his size, I expected his length to be bigger, but though it was a decent size, I was longer than him. He was cut, well groomed, and leaking. I took my time sucking, taking him as deep as I could without gagging. What? I was out of practice!

Griffin abandoned the lube to lick a stripe down my crease. Then he used his spit and fingers to work me open. When I groaned at the burn, he added some slick to ease his second finger inside me. He crooked his fingers, earning a filthy moan as I sucked Sunny's cock.

"Please," Sunny begged. "Getting close."

My hand found the lube, and I coated my dick before pushing his legs back to open him up more and easing with painstaking slowness inside Sunny.

"Oh, my god! You feel—" I couldn't help the noises I made. He wasn't as hot inside as a human partner, but so tight I could hardly move.

Sunny let out a noise of satisfaction as my groin met his ass.

He relaxed, his muscles easing their stranglehold on my dick, so I could thrust into Sunny, pushing me back onto Griffin's fingers. Being between them was amazing! I'd never felt so much ecstasy and that was before Griffin was even inside me! Griffin added another and twisted them, opening me wider.

Kissing the back of my neck, he asked, "Ready?"

All I could do was nod, as I continued to move inside Sunny, grunting with each slap of my hips against his peachy ass.

The blunt head of Griffin's cock split me open. The burn, even after the stretching, was intense. I cried out with an elated mix of pain and pleasure.

"Okay?" Griffin kissed my shoulder as he slowed his breach. He added more lube and sucked on my neck, finishing his slide inside me with a deep kiss.

Sunny surged up to kiss us both before urging me to fuck him again.

We became one. Just pleasure circling between us. For the first time in my life, I felt whole. Filling and being filled by my mates was the most perfect moment of my life so far, and this was just the start.

Overloaded with sensations as we kissed and stroked each other, moving as one, I came inside Sunny with a loud cry.

I stroked Sunny through his orgasm as Griffin's pace increased and he pulled out to come over us both before we all collapsed onto the bed in a mess of limbs.

Our cheeky vampire ran a finger through Griffin's come and licked it. "Hmm, tasty. We should do that again."

"Hahaha," I was struggling to catch my breath. "I need a nap, at the very least. Not all of us have vampire stamina."

Instead of pushing it, Sunny curled up against me while Griffin went to the bathroom. He returned with a damp cloth to clean us up. Once clean, he put it in the hamper before pushing Sunny closer to me and sandwiching Sunny this time.

"We've got some stuff to talk about later. It can wait until we get some sleep," Griffin said, ending with a yawn.

It didn't take me too long to fall asleep with my mates. Staying that way was the problem. I got up to pee and drink some water. I put our phones and my glasses on the bedside table in easy reach for when we woke.

My mates had moved. Sunny, probably searching for me, was further over on the bed. Griffin had followed him, leaving space for me to cuddle up to my wolf. I did, sighing at the heat of his body. He turned, letting me tuck myself closer to him.

I smiled when I heard the bed move and saw Sunny's blond head. He was hugging Griffin to him tightly. I couldn't believe how happy I felt. How full of joy I was.

In my heart, I knew we wouldn't have it easy. Griffin would need a lot of love. Luckily, there were two of us to teach him how to open up.
