20. Evangeline

Idressed in jeans, a tank top, and sneakers, grabbed my phone, and headed downstairs. Mia called on my way down.

“Hey, Mia. Tell me you have good news,” I said when I answered.

“I have good news,” she chirped.

“You did it?”

“I sure did! Who’s the best analyst in the world?”

“You are, Mia. You’re the fucking best!” I said excitedly.

“Here’s the thing, though: Because technology is what it is, there will be a slight delay. It shouldn’t be more than thirty seconds, but it could still keep you chasing him. But you’ll be a lot closer to catching him now than you were before.”

“That’s fine,” I said as I entered the kitchen. “We can work with thirty seconds. Thanks, Mia!”

“If you need anything else, just let me know.”

I ended the call and grinned at my boys. “Mia did it. We shouldn’t be more than thirty seconds behind him now!”

“That’s great news!” Jett said, bounding forward to kiss me good morning.

I felt my body start to respond to his kiss, but before I could drag him to the kitchen floor, Kase pulled me away from him to kiss me next. Undeterred, Jett fit himself against my back and peppered kisses along my neck.

“Hey!” Rylan yelled, breaking us up, “She needs to eat, get off her.”

“I have something she can eat,” Jett said, pulling me closer.

“She needs real food, pup,” Rylan said, smacking him in the back of the head and pulling me from between them. He led me to the table where a massive chicken Caesar salad awaited me.

My phone dinged with the first alert for Zabiza’s location as I sat. I jumped up, ready to hunt him down, but Rylan pushed me back onto my chair and plucked my phone from my hands.

“First, you eat, then we hunt,” he ordered.

I opened my mouth to argue, and he popped a crouton into my mouth. “That’s non-negotiable, angel.”

I sighed but complied. I was starved, so getting me to eat first didn’t take much convincing. I ate as quickly as I could, watching my phone, which Rylan had placed in the center of the table, continue to ding periodically as Zabiza moved around. As soon as I finished my salad, I jumped back up and grabbed my phone. “Let’s go!”

“Do we have a plan for when we catch him?” Kase asked.

I paused. Shit, we should probably have one of those. “Umm. Well, we have the traps that Asteria gave us. We can surround him and get the silver in place, so he can’t leave.”

“And once we have him trapped?” Jett asked. “Asteria said it wouldn’t hold him forever.”

“Once we have him trapped, we attack,” Rylan answered. “Killing him is our first option, but if it looks like that isn’t working, and he might escape, one of us gets close enough to grab him and drag him to hell. Once we have him in hell, we’ll be able to toss him in a cell to deal with.”

“Agreed!” I said as my phone dinged again. “Now can we go?”

“Let’s wait for the next alert so we can get on him as soon as he arrives,” Rylan suggested.

I handed him my phone since I couldn’t transport us anywhere and tapped my foot as we stood in a small circle waiting. The second my phone went off, I grabbed Ry’s arm, and he whisked us away. We landed outside a convenience store, and Rylan kept us hidden in the shadows while we tried to spot Zabiza. I didn’t immediately see him, so maybe he was inside somewhere. As soon as I stepped away from Rylan, the alert on my phone went off again.

Rylan grabbed me, and we headed off to the next location. I’m not sure when Zabiza figured out we were on his tail, but I do know when we figured out he was leading us on a wild goose chase.

“Fucking laser tag?” I asked. Children were running around us, screaming in the darkened room as they tried to shoot each other. Beams of light flashed around the room, adding to the chaotic energy around us. One thing I was sure of even before my phone went off was that Zabiza wasn’t here.

“He’s fucking with us!” Jett snarled.

“He sure is,” I sighed. We left laser tag and found ourselves in a giant kiddie fun center. I saw a little go-kart track in the back corner with various small rides. The interior looked like a little city street with arcade games spread around. “Hey! Dippin’ Dots!” I turned to Rylan with puppy-dog eyes. “Can we? Please?”

His annoyance about Zabiza softened as he looked at me. “Of course we can, angel,” he chuckled.

We stood in a line full of sticky little humans and exasperated parents, looking entirely out of place. When we got our treats, we found a deserted “city block” away from all the action with tables to sit at. I scooped a spoonful of mint chocolate chip ice cream balls into my mouth and moaned as the flavors exploded across my taste buds. I looked up and almost spit my ice cream out at the expressions on their faces as they regarded their bowls.

“Have you never had Dippin’ Dots before?” I asked.

“We don’t usually have time for ice cream,” Kase said. “Why the balls? I don’t get it.”

“It’s fun!” I laughed. “Just try it.”

They all apprehensively spooned the dots into their mouths, and their surprise was equally comical as their confusion.

“Not bad,” Rylan admitted.

“Not bad? This is genius!” Jett exclaimed excitedly as he spooned another large pile into his mouth. He looked back at the shop. “I might have to get more.”

“Do you miss being an angel?” Kase blurted.

My mind whirled at the sudden subject change. “I don’t know, I haven’t had time to think about it like that,” I replied. “Why?”

“What Lucifer said about angels not having mates and our bond being a gift made me wonder if you had a choice if you’d rather be an angel again,” he replied.

Ah, that was the part of my conversation with Lucifer that I had been ignoring. We weren’t supposed to be mated. We were an anomaly. “Are you asking me if I regret being mated to you?”

“I guess I am,” Kase admitted.

I didn’t answer right away. I knew in my heart how I felt about them, but I didn’t want them to think my answer wasn’t sincere or thought out. “I loved being an angel. I loved being a part of something important. But I’ve learned that what I’m doing now is just as important. And if I had to pick between my old life and my new one with you, I’d choose you. All of you.” I hesitated before asking the question. I didn’t want to, but if Kase could ask it, so could I. “Do you feel like you missed out on whoever your true mate was by being mated to me?”

“Absolutely not,” Rylan growled. “I already told you I’ve waited an eternity for you, and I’m not letting you go.”

“But what if—“

Jett cut me off. “But nothing, Evangeline. You’re our mate. We knew it the moment we saw you and still know it now. I don’t care if angels aren’t supposed to have mates. You do. And you aren’t like the other angels. You’re the Death Angel, and that’s the difference. That’s what makes you special. What makes you ours.”

Kase sat back and let his brothers answer first, but when my eyes shifted to his, he leaned forward. “We love you, Evangeline Faithe. We’ve searched for our mate for years. We would have found her if some other woman was meant to be our mate. Instead, we found you, and I don’t doubt that you were always meant for us. So no, I don’t feel like we’ve missed out on our true mate because she is you.”

I nodded. “So we’re all on the same page then. Good. That’s good.” I didn’t know what would happen once we killed Zabiza, but this was where I wanted to be as long as I had them.

“So what’s our next move?” I asked after we had eaten in silence for a few minutes. “Tracking him like this clearly isn’t going to work.”

“We’ll go home and start tracking his movements,” Rylan said. “See if there is somewhere he frequents more than others.”

“We already tried that the other day,” Kase pointed out.

“Yes, but we didn’t have such an up-to-date system before,” Rylan said. Who knows how many places he visited before the guild’s files were updated? “If you have a better idea, I’d love to hear it.”

Kase sighed. “Unfortunately, I don’t.”

“Ok, but before we go home, I’m getting more space ice cream,” Jett said, dashing from the table to stand in line again.

When we got back to the house, we spent the rest of the day painstakingly mapping out every location Zabiza visited. I didn’t understand how he got anything done with as much as he moved around, but slowly, the points began to pile up in specific locations, and we had one that stood out more than the others.

“That has to be his base of operations,” Kase said when my phone went off and showed he was back at a warehouse near the Port of Los Angeles.

“I agree,” I yawned. “Tomorrow, we should check it out. Right now, I think I’m going to go to bed.” I kissed them each good night and went upstairs. I changed into an oversized shirt and climbed under the covers. I was going to sleep well tonight. Seconds later, my bedroom door swung open, and Rylan, Kase, and Jett entered the room.

“What’s wrong?” I asked, instantly alert.

“Nothing,” Rylan replied. “We sleep here now.”

“Excuse you?”

“You heard me,” Rylan replied as he stripped down to his boxers and crawled in beside me. “We’re a fully mated pack now, and I’ll be damned if I spend another night away from you. I’ll never understand how these two have managed to stay away.”

“It wasn’t easy,” Kase complained as he climbed in on my other side. “I’m just glad I don’t have to anymore.”

“Who said I want you in my bed?” I asked. Sure, I was mated to all three of them now, but how did that equate to losing my privacy and right to sleep alone?

“Come on, Evangeline,” Jett said as he grabbed the throw blanket, climbed onto the bed, and wedged himself between my blanket-covered legs. He laid his head on my pelvis, and I knew it was going to be a long night. How was I supposed to sleep with him between my legs all night? “You knew when you moved in here and saw the bed that this would happen eventually,” Jett said sleepily.

“We could have at least discussed it first,” I huffed.

“That’s what we’re doing right now,” Rylan said as he leaned over and kissed my cheek. He clicked off the bedside lamp, laid on his side facing me, and placed his hand on my stomach.

“Night, baby,” Kase said. He linked his fingers through mine and lifted them to his lips to kiss. He didn’t release my hand, so our hands remained linked as they rested between our bodies.

I guess I wasn’t being given a choice on the matter. Whatever, I was too tired to care. I closed my eyes, expecting to fall asleep quickly, but my body was entirely too aware of the three hot bodies in my bed. I tried hard not to fidget too much as I stared up at the ceiling and tried to control my libido. I didn’t have this problem until I met these men. Now, I spent most of my waking moments resisting the urge to jump their bones, or rather their boners. I chuckled at my private joke.

“Can’t sleep, wiggle worm?” Kase asked sleepily.

“I’m fine,” I replied quickly.

“Then stop moving around,” Rylan rumbled.

I forced my body to still and closed my eyes, determined to sleep. Less than a minute later, they popped back open.

“I can hear your brain thinking,” Jett slurred.

“I’m sorry. I’m just not used to having three men in my bed, and I find it distracting. I was tired, but now I’m wide awake.” I replied.

“I know a way to tire you out,” Jett purred. At his words, I felt my traitorous pussy get wet in anticipation. She didn’t give a shit that I was trying to practice self-control. Jett inhaled deeply and exhaled with a low growl as he shifted on the bed, and I saw his yellow eyes glowing in the dark. “All you had to do was ask, baby.”

I wanted to argue, to deny what I wanted, but I was rendered speechless when Jett flopped around on the bed like a deranged fish, tugging at the blanket he was lying on until he found an opening to crawl beneath it. He settled back between my legs and kissed my inner thighs before moving my panties to the side and swiping his tongue through my folds. I sighed with a breathy moan. Fuck it, why fight it? I spread my legs wider as Kase rolled toward me, and Rylan flipped the blanket off the bed.

“This is definitely a better alternative to sleeping,” Kase said as his hand slid under the bottom of my shirt and blazed a path to my breast. He cupped it and then sucked the nipple into his mouth through my thin shirt.

Another moan fell from my lips when Rylan’s skated against my neck. “Do you like having our mouths on you, little mate?” he asked.

“Yes,” I replied, arching my back as Jett’s tongue flicked my clit.

Rylan moved to his knees and raised me enough to pull my shirt over my head. “Jett, pull her panties off and get on your back,” he ordered.

Jett pulled my panties off so fast I questioned whether I had been wearing any, then quickly flopped onto his back lengthwise at the end of the bed with his feet flat on the floor. His cock stood straight up, hard and proud. When he lost his clothes, I don’t know. I didn’t need to be told what to do next and quickly scrambled over him. Jett was the only one I hadn’t been with yet, and we were well overdue to correct that.

I slid onto his cock, and we moaned together. “Fuck, it feels better than I imagined,” Jett gasped. “I’m so glad you’re my first.”

I froze above him. What the fuck did he just say? “You’re a virgin?!”

Jett turned bright red. “Yes?”

Well, this changes things. I looked at Kase and Rylan. “You two take a seat. This time is between me and Jett.” I leaned down and kissed him as I started to move my hips. “Don’t come until I tell you to,” I ordered.

“Yes, ma’am,” he replied, grinning like an idiot.

I sat up again and braced my hands on his abdomen as I rode him nice and slow. He deserved more than a quickie for his first time, and as I moved, I felt like a queen. This was my mate, and I was his first and his last. His only. Jett’s hands moved up my body to play with my breasts, and I hummed in approval. I dragged it out as long as I could, basking in each moan that left Jett’s lips.

“Evangeline, please,” he begged through gritted teeth.

I smiled as I looked down at him. I rolled us so that he was on top. “Fuck me, Jett,” I ordered. His eyes lit up, and his hips began pumping into me at a steadily increasing pace.

“Make sure she comes first, pup. Ladies first, always,” Rylan growled. I turned and winked at him, sitting against the headboard beside Kase. They were both slowly stroking themselves as they watched the show Jett and I were giving them.

Jett’s hand slid between my legs to rub my clit, and I closed my eyes and moaned before opening them again, still focused on my other mates and how hot it was to watch them. Jett leaned down and nipped my shoulder. “Eyes on me, mate,” he growled, his hound pushing toward the surface a little. A fresh wave of arousal washed over me at his demand as my eyes snapped to his. This may be his first time, but it didn’t make him any less dominant, and I fucking loved it.

I felt him push his arousal through our mate bond, heightening my own as he continued to rub my clit and pound into me. He was close, and the semi-crazed look in his eyes, more than anything else, pushed me over the edge. I made him like that. I moaned as I squeezed around him, my orgasm pulsing through me.

“Oh, fuck!” Jett shouted as I came undone around him. He jackhammered into me as he chased his first orgasm inside a pussy and quickly spilled himself deep inside me with a roar. Small tremors still shook my body as he collapsed on top of me with a groan. “Give me a minute, and we’re doing that again.”

I giggled at his exuberance. “So your first time was good?” I asked.

“Are you kidding me?” he said, bracing himself on his arms so that he could look down at me. “That was amazing. I knew it would be, but nothing prepared me for what it would be like.” He kissed me hungrily, and I felt his dick already twitching to life inside of me.

“That was fast,” I purred.

“Time to share, pup,” Rylan said. “On your back.” Jett rolled us back to our starting position without pulling out of me while Kase and Rylan moved back into position.

“This is a big day for you, Jett,” Kase said as he pushed gently on my back to get me angled forward more. “Not only did you lose your virginity, but you’re about to have your first group sex.”

I felt the head of Kase’s dick slide between my cheeks as he moved closer. “Now, Evangeline,” he said as he guided the head to my rosebud and applied enough pressure to make sure I felt him there, but not enough to penetrate. “I was planning on taking you here, but after watching Jett fuck you, prepping you would take longer than I’m willing to wait.”

“If you aren’t going to fuck her ass, where are you— Holy fucking shit!” Jett yelled as Kase readjusted and squeezed the head of his cock in beside Jett’s. “I don’t know if I’m ok with this, but it feels fucking amazing!”

“I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself, but this isn’t about you,” Kase groaned as he stroked my back. “Relax, baby. Let me in. Are you ok?”

I nodded as Kase slowly pushed inside of me, stretching my pussy, and making me feel impossibly full.

“Words, angel,” Rylan said, tipping my head up to look at him. “If it’s too much, we can stop, but you have to tell us.”

“I’m fine,” I moaned. “More.”

Rylan looked at Kase and nodded. Kase pulled back slightly and then pushed forward again, getting a couple more inches inside me. He continued this until he was as deep as he could get. He stilled to give me a few moments to adjust to having them both inside of me before ordering Jett to start moving. Their rhythm was stilted and jerky at first, but it didn’t take them long to work it out.

“Oh, fuck. It’s so good,” I moaned.

I felt Rylan’s hand tangle in my hair as he turned my head toward him. “Open up, baby,” he ordered softly. I complied, and Rylan guided his waiting cock between my lips. It felt like I had fantasized about this forever ago, and now it was happening. This was even better than the fantasy. I shut my brain off and focused on the way they made me feel as they used my body for their pleasure. No, that wasn’t entirely true. Yes, they were chasing their releases, but I could feel through our bonds that my pleasure was at the forefront of their minds. More than anything else, they wanted to make sure it was good for me first. It was almost unsettling how in tune they were to me. I’d never been with anyone who cared so much, let alone three at the same time.

Between the three cocks and all of the feelings shooting through the mate bonds, it didn’t take long for me to reach the edge. I was going to come again, and I was going to come hard, and I knew Kase and Jett would, too. Determined to make sure Rylan came with us, I hollow my cheeks and increased the suction on his cock. I looked up at him through my eyelashes and pushed our collective arousal to him through our bond.

His eyes widened, and he grunted as the lust bomb hit him. “Oh, fuck. I’m going to come,” he moaned. I answered his moan with my own as I squeezed my pussy tighter around Jett and Kase. My inner sex goddess preened as all three men moaned and came, triggering my orgasm. As I came, I swallowed Rylan’s seed, making sure not to waste a drop. When he was finished, Rylan collapsed on the bed at Jett’s head while Kase, Jett, and I melted into a breathless lump.

“Think you’ll be able to sleep now, angel?” Kase rasped.

I nodded sleepily, content to stay sandwiched between them for the rest of the night. I should have known they wouldn’t let that happen. I whined as they pulled out of me and repositioned me on the bed. I felt someone wipe me with a warm cloth to clean up some of our mess before they settled around me again for sleep.

Maybe sleeping in the same bed wasn’t so bad after all.
