28

~Alena~

I stepped out of the bathroom freshly showered, a white cotton towel wrapped around me.

I felt rejuvenated, both from the shower and from getting a good night’s sleep.

I’d been taxed lately with all the training, pushing myself to my limit and even beyond. My intervention against Lenora had been the last straw there.

But rest had gone a long way and now I felt better, like myself.

I was just about to get dressed when the door to my room flew open, startling me.

I swung my head toward it to find Orpheus standing there and eyeing me.

I swallowed hard at the sight of him looking sexy as fuck in just a pair of purple lounge pants, his sculpted torso and all that muscle and the beautiful Fae markings on display. His hair was all wild and mussed from sleeping for a long while.

His eyes were bright and focused and I could feel all that powerhouse strength radiating off him.

“You look a whole lot better.”

He didn’t speak to it and responded instead by kicking the door shut and striding toward me.

I stepped back at the intensity coming off him. “Orpheus, what—”

He was on me in the next second, grasping my arms and shoving me against the wall right beside the bathroom door.

“What you did the other night…” He slammed his hands down either side of my head, caging me in. “Hot. As. Fuck.”

He crushed his mouth to mine, stealing my breath—in the best way.

He kissed me so possessively, I felt it down to my bones, as he thrust his tongue into my mouth and laid claim to me all over again.

I tugged at his hair, holding him to me as I rose to it, kissing him back just as aggressively, savoring his taste, that wild tongue of his utterly decimating me oh-so quickly.

“It was hot , huh?” I gasped as he broke the kiss and bit and licked at my earlobe, my neck, my shoulders.

“Hot as fuck.” He punctuated the last word by thrusting two fingers deep inside me.

I’d been so taken with his mouth teasing me that I hadn’t even realized he’d been reaching underneath my towel.

I choked at the shock of it and clenched down around him.

“Mmm, the way you grip me, Alena,” he breathed at my ear, before nipping my earlobe, then starting to scissor his fingers, opening me to him and making me squirm in rapidly-building need against the wall.

“Orpheus,” I eked out, grasping his biceps and digging my nails into his hard flesh.

I spread my thighs, giving him better access, a groan spilling from him as I made my desperation to have him clear.

It had been too long. Far too long.

For all of us.

“You’re dripping all the way down my fingers.” He smirked at me. “Just like the dirty girl you’ve always been for me.” He suddenly pulled his fingers free. “For us.” In the next second, he ripped my towel right off my body with one rough tug, and then he was throwing me down on the bed.

“The boys are on their way,” he said, pouncing on and caging me in with his big, muscular body. “I just couldn’t wait another fucking second.”

He grasped my thighs, wrenched them wide open, then dove into my pussy, making me squeal.

Pleasure engulfed me as he licked, sucked, and even bit.

My thighs were shaking in his fierce hold as he feasted on me, the intensity so much that it had me screaming out and thrashing on the bed, clawing at the sheets within moments. This was Orpheus Hart sexually unleashed. And I’d missed it. I’d missed it from all of them and—

My thoughts came to a jolting halt as an orgasm hit me out of nowhere, so sharp and extreme in the sudden surge of ecstasy that I shrieked at the top of my lungs, barely able to take it as it threatened to shatter me to pieces.

He lifted his head with a dirty smirk and made a show of licking my taste off his lips. “Missed you too, little angel.”

“Fuck,” I gasped, trying to come down from it as I lay boneless on the bed. “That was—”

The door flew open and Xavier strode in with Talon right behind him.

“Just the beginning,” the former said, vamping out the second he took in the sight of Orpheus between my spread thighs, and his nostrils flared as he obviously scented sex in the air.

“Damn, Ore. Getting started without us?” Talon groused.

“Couldn’t wait,” Orpheus told him, lifting a shoulder unapologetically. He held out a hand. “Come here, baby bird, let me make it all better.”

Talon’s eyes flamed at the invitation and the dark promise in Orpheus’ gaze.

He was insanely fired up, more so than usual.

It was no wonder with what had happened the other night.

He clearly had a lot to get out of his system.

I was right there with him on that.

He stripped himself naked with his magic in the next moment and he did the same to Talon as he reached him, while Xavier ripped his own clothes off with a combination of magic and his vampire speed.

Then Orpheus suddenly fisted my hair and used the hold to yank me up onto my knees, a second before he slapped Talon’s ass cheeks and shoved him into me, the shock of it instantly making me open my mouth and take his cock deep down my throat. Talon cried out and I choked and spluttered trying to accommodate the invasion.

Orpheus smirked at me in challenge and it sparked that determination in me to always rise to it, to give back what he gave.

In the next second, I was tugging at Talon’s balls while taking him deep down my throat at an insane pace that had him slapping his hands down onto the bed to steady himself as he cried out.

Those cries grew all the wilder as Orpheus thrust two fingers into his ass, making him take it raw, the act firing him up and making him fist my hair and slamming me down onto his cock, basically face-fucking me.

The dirty and degrading thrill of it set me off and I was meeting his fierce thrusts and rubbing my pussy all over the sheets, moaning around his shaft and losing it.

I almost choked when I felt the scrape of fangs at the side of my throat a moment before Xavier buried them deep.

He used his vampiric strength to hold my head completely still, making me take it as he drank from me and Talon fucked my throat, becoming merciless with it as Orpheus pushed him and urged him on with his fingers pounding into his ass like a beast.

The sensation was unlike any other, so heady and freeing, being held at their mercy like this, being devoured by Xavier and throat-fucked by Talon… I was dripping all down my thighs, sparks of pleasure shooting through me. I fucking loved it.

I threw out my hand and wrapped it around Xavier’s cock, starting to fist his shaft rapid-fire with a brutal grip.

“Hell,” he snarled, jerking his fangs free and throwing his head back, pumping into my hand.

Orpheus eased his fingers from Talon, wiped them across his face, earning a groan from him, then he reached over and slicked his fingers in the blood running down my neck and onto my shoulders. I watched through the brutal face-fucking as he lubed his cock up with it, coating it from root to tip in my blood.

Then he climbed onto the bed behind me, spread me open, then sank into my ass.

The depraved nature of it combined with the burn of him driving into me, easing deeper and deeper had me grinding into the bed like a wild, unhinged thing.

So much sensation enveloped me and as Xavier sank his fangs back into the open wound of my throat, it took it to new heights.

As Orpheus started sawing in and out of my ass, Xavier began slapping my pussy painfully hard. Instinctively, I tried to move away from the overstimulation, but the combination of his hand holding my head still and Orpheus starting to slam into me, gripping my hips viciously in the process made that impossible.

They made me take it.

They made me take it all.

And it was a hell of a thing.

“That’s it,” Orpheus growled. “There’s our girl taking us all so well. Can’t get enough, hmm? This hot little body was made for our depravity.”

“Ungh… yeah,” Talon choked, his thrusts losing their rhythm. “Take me, firecracker. Take it all.” In the next moment, he cried out as he lurched and came deep down my throat.

He staggered as he pulled out and I licked up every drop dripping from my lips.

“Damn,” he uttered, watching me. “Hot as hell.”

Xavier ripped his fangs free, then roared as his cock pulsed in my hand and he spurted all over my fingers. He grabbed my wrist, then switched out his hand slapping my pussy, thrusting my own cum-soaked fingers deep inside me, while supporting me with his free hand.

Orpheus growled as he obviously felt it.

It was all too much and I came around my own invading fingers, bucking and grinding against them as I rode the glorious wave of bliss.

Xavier didn’t stop though and neither did Orpheus, the two of them driving me higher and higher until ecstasy crashed into me again a moment before Orpheus came in my ass. the feel of it leaking down my thighs just adding to the intensity of the overstimulation, sending my pleasure into the stratosphere, my orgasm going on and on, or one bleeding into the next… I didn’t even fucking know.

I collapsed onto the bed, aftershocks rolling through me.

As I lay basking in the pleasure overload, all three of them loomed over me.

“We’re far from done,” Orpheus told me, that dirty smirk of his lifting his lips.

The next thing I knew, they were descending on me again already.

Fuck, yes!

“My father said what?” Orpheus exclaimed as he pulled on his pants at the foot of the bed, despite Talon running his fingers over his cock, trying to coax him back to bed. He batted his hand away yet again, then eyed me seriously. “Princess of the Dark Fae Realm? He actually spoke those words to you?”

“Yeah, it was his way of welcoming me.”

“It was his way of doing more than that.” He shook his head and asked, “What else did he say on the matter?”

I hesitated with the way he’d taken the first part. “Um… what?”

“You heard me perfectly well, Alena.”

I looked out at Xavier and Talon, but they were both waiting eagerly to hear my answer too.

Dammit.

“I shouldn’t have brought it up. Forget it. I thought it would be a good thing. I didn’t think you’d take it negatively like this.”

“Alena,” he pushed.

“You can ask him yourself.”

“I’m asking you.”

Dammit again.

“Besides, he didn’t say shit about it, even when we got onto the topic of his upcoming wedding last night. It would have been the perfect segue. Clearly, he had no intention of telling me.”

“Probably because I told him I needed to think it all over first and then discuss things with the three of you.”

“Again I ask, what things? What else did he say?”

I rolled my eyes at him. “You’re like a dog with a bone, you know that?”

“I’m well aware of how persistent I can be.”

“ Persistent isn’t the word I’d use,” Xavier said.

Talon chuckled. “Definitely not.”

Orpheus glared at them, then back at me.

I shoved a hand through my hair. “He suggested we announced our union at his wedding, that the three of us exchange the equivalent of promise rings, make our relationship official in the eyes of the DFR, and confirm for the populace that I’m to be their future princess.”

Orpheus stilled and stared at me wide-eyed.

A growl sounded from him a moment later, then he stormed toward the door, muttering to himself, “He’s not pressuring you into this. No fucking way is this happening.”

I flicked my hand at him, wrapping a golden rope around his wrist and using it to tug him back to the bed, back to me.

He hit the mattress on his ass and twisted to face me. His magic sparked with the obvious intention of using it to free himself from my hold, but I jerked on my magical rope and forced him right to me, until he was looming over me, one hand slapped to my pillow to steady himself while the other was being bound by me. “Alena,” he groused.

“Just listen before you fly off the handle. I get that this is a sensitive subject for you—me being controlled by anyone. I know it’s because of what happened with Constantine. And I love you for wanting to guard me against that. But I’m not being controlled here. I promise you, there was no manipulation on your father’s part. It came from a place of acceptance of the four of us and excitement. There were no demands, no ultimatum, no guilt trips, nothing like that. He’s just happy for us, for you. ”

“That was really all there was to it? You’re not just saying that to calm me down?”

I released my magic, the rope disintegrating, and I reached up and cupped his face. “I swear it to you.”

“You don’t have to do this. The pressures of the kingdom and tradition and all of that don’t fall on you, it’s my issue to deal with. Not yours.”

“Actually, given that you’re an integral part of my life, and vice-versa, it does fall on me now. But I’m fine with it. I don’t mind. In fact, I really like it there in the Dark Fae Realm. I like your father, the palace guards, the people I met on our tour.” I stroked his face. “And I like the idea of us forming this union that he mentioned.”

“Shit, yes!” Talon cried, startling us both. “I’m here for it!”

I grinned out at him.

Then I caught Xavier’s eye and he nodded at me with a big, joyful smile.

“Well?” I asked Orpheus, when he still hadn’t answered.

His lips quirked. “You know me. Any way I can stake a claim on you, I’ll take it.”

I laughed and nuzzled his cheek.

Talon suddenly jumped on the bed. “So this is actually happening? The four of us are gonna do this?”

“Announce our love to the Realm, and then the world,” Xavier breathed in wonder.

Orpheus’ enthralling purple eyes burned into mine. “We’re doing it.”

“Come here,” I said, wrapping my arms around him and holding him tightly to me. “All of you.”

In the next second, we were all immersed in a heartfelt embrace.

“It will be okay. We’ll get through this and then our futures will be wide open to us,” I breathed against them.

In that moment, as I uttered the words, I truly believed in it, in every word I was saying.

I believed in us.
