THIRTY-TWO

Rhett

"Fourdays,”Skipmuttered, running a hand through his hair. “Four days until we find out who’s going to come out on top of this fucking war. Excuse my language,” he muttered again, shaking his head. “My pa would kill me if he heard me talking like that.”

I chuckled briefly before lacing my fingers and setting my elbows on my desk. “Skip, Kalista is at war. Nobody’s going to care if you say fucking.”

His cheeks flushed red before he nodded. “What do I do? My parents aren’t going to war as they’re over the age required. They have all sorts of problems. They wouldn’t make it out, so I’m glad they’re not going.” His eyes started to mist as he shook his head again. “How do I let them know that I’m going to be alright when I don’t even know if I’m going to be alright?”

“You don’t let them know you’re going to be alright. You’re going to let them know that you are going to do your damnedest to go back to them, and you’re going to go into war with all the competence in the world. Knowledge that we taught you everything you need to know to be in that position to fight for equality and peace. That’s what you’re going to do, Skip.”

He nodded, swallowing hard before jumping halfway out of his seat, and a hand flew to his chest. “Oh, fucking Fates! Uh, I’m sorry. I mean Fates.”

I didn’t even have to look behind me to know what he saw. I let out a deep sigh, not bothering to turn to face him. “I’m with a student,” I grumbled, pinching my brows together.

Damien’s dark chuckle filled the room. “Yeah, well, you’re a counselor, aren’t you? Don’t you want to listen to my problems too?”

“I suppose I have to or Wren will look at me with those accusatory eyes of hers,” I muttered before flashing an apologetic smile at Skip. “Same time tomorrow?”

He nodded before grabbing his bag off the floor and practically running out of my office.

“You don’t really have a good reputation at the academy, you know,” I told Damien, who plopped down in the seat in front of me.

“What would the point of a good reputation be?” He leveled his gaze. “Kian told you about the vision he learned about Wren, right?”

Worry knotted in my gut as I nodded, my horns slipping out of my skull at the same time Damien’s did, and our tails both moved behind us. Sometimes I forgot that we were of the same species.

“I don’t like it either,” I admitted. “The thought of her going in alone absolutely wrecks me, but I don’t want anything happening to her or to any of her mates. It’s not worth risking.”

Damien rumbled a growl, shifting in the seat. “Yeah, I fucking know.”

Wren materialized, sitting on my desk, and this time, even Damien jumped.

My heart almost beat out of my chest as I stared at her.

She pouted her lip, crossing her arms over her chest as she crossed her legs. “Talking about me while I’m not here. Really?”

“When did you get here?” I asked.

“When Skip left. I was being a little nosy. I figured you’d be talking about me so I eavesdropped a bit.” She shrugged her shoulders, and I chuckled. This woman.

“You were eavesdropping on us, little bird?” Damien’s eyes narrowed, and his tone was accusatory.

“You do it to me all the time.” She batted her long eyelashes at him.

A small trace of weakness slipped into his gaze as he stared at her before he growled. “You know I’m watching you.”

“I didn’t at first,” she countered.

He chuckled darkly. “Every time I showed myself to you in the shadows, I could scent your sweet little pussy weeping for me.”

Her breath caught in her throat as her pheromones started to permeate the air.

I groaned as mine leaked out with hers.

Damien’s chuckle was cruel. “You two are one of the fucking same, but you know what, little bird? You’re just like me too.”

“How’s she like you? You’re a literal psycho.”

“My little bird has a little psycho in her.”

“Maybe when you’re fucking her.” I snorted.

She clenched her thighs together. “I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I’m constantly wanting, but I’m also incredibly stressed out. I know that I come to both of you for the same thing; to cope.” She fiddled with her thumbs in her lap. “But can I come to both of you for the same thing? Like right now.”

Damien and I growled.

“You want to cope with us, little bird? I’ll help you cope.”

“I’ll help you cope anytime, baby.”

I moved first, wrapping my hand around her throat from behind and pressing her back into my chest as she sat on my desk facing Damien.

“Not so fast, Rhett,” Damien said, and my brows furrowed as I looked at him. “Bend her over your desk.”

Wren’s arousal drenched my office as I pulled her down off my desk by her throat. When her feet hit the ground, I bent her over it and lifted her skirt. Her bare ass was on display with her pussy peeking out between her legs.

“No panties,” I groaned, and Damien chuckled.

“Damien stole them all,” she grumbled in a breathy tone. “And Alister just bought me new ones, but those went missing too.”

“Not sorry, little bird. I just love it when you’re wet and easy to get to.”

Her body flushed red, and I chuckled, loving the scent of her arousal. It was so sweet, I could taste it on my tongue.

Damien tilted his head. “I’m going to whip you with my tail.”

She tensed, and my gaze flicked to his tail, forked and hard. His tail could slit the throats of enemies, and yet he was going to whip our mate?

“Rowan mentioned rules,” I bit out, but he just rolled his eyes.

“I’m going to feed off her pain, only leaving enough for her to find pleasure in. I’m not just going to whip her ass. I’m going to whip her back. You’re going to spread her thighs and lick up every drop of cum as she cries for both of us.”

My cock strained in my pants, and I nodded. Hard to find anything to argue about there. “That sounds fine to me. Are you good with that, baby?”

“Yes, please!” Her breaths were shallow as she continued to clench her thighs together.

Damien’s shadows struck forward, wrapping around her ankles and spreading her legs apart, baring her pussy to me as I dropped to my knees.

His telekinesis pulled her off her shirt, showing her back to him, and he moaned. “Do you want my cock in your mouth?”

I was the incubus, and yet the shadow demon had a filthier mouth than I did. Before she could answer, I dove between her legs. Her pussy drenched my face as my tongue swept through her folds, and her sweetness coated me. I moved my hand up to where she was pressed against the desk and pinched her clit as my tongue darted inside of her.

Her body shook as my pheromones and hers danced around each other. I worked her with my tongue, savoring the taste of her.

I heard her gag on Damien’s cock as the first whip of his tail came down on her back, and her entire body jolted as she screamed around his dick.

“That’s a good girl. Good job. Take my cock. Take Rhett’s tongue, and take the pain I give you,” he moaned, thrusting into her throat as I groaned. “That’s a good girl.”

Her body jerked hard, every muscle tight as she screamed again, thrashing against us as pleasure ripped through our bonds. I stood up and freed my cock before plunging it into her dripping pussy.

“Need you now, baby.” Clasping her hips, I thrust into her, pounding into her heat as my balls hit her clit. The suction of her pussy was too much, and our pheromones twirled together, coaxing all of our magical energy as his tail came down on her back again.

Blood welled up in the shape of the fork of his tail and just as the shock and worry entered me, she exploded.

Her muscles spasmed around my cock, and liquid fire blew through my bloodstream. All three of us were awash with overlapping waves of pleasure as we came at once.

He pulled his cock from her throat with a moan as I pulled mine from between her legs, and she let out the most helpless moan I’d heard from her.

Damien and I both moved forward, picking her up and smashing her against us, stepping away from the desk.

Her hands went around Damien’s neck, but she leaned her head against my shoulder. “I love you both. I don’t know what I would do without you.”

“You’ll never have to find out,” Damien’s tongue licked up the tears from one cheek as I kissed away the ones on the other.

I would do anything for this woman, and I would take her again and again for the rest of our lives once this war was over.

She was going to have the peace she deserved. Damien and I locked gazes, and we both nodded.

A while ago, I never thought that I would be on the same page as this man, but with our little arctic fox tucked between us, I considered him the brother-mate he claimed we were.
