Chapter 4

Dahlia clicked off the recorder and looked up with tears brimming in her eyes. Oh, the pirate was good, I'd give him that. He knew exactly how to tug on her heartstrings. But from the vulnerable look on his face, I could tell it cost him something to let us all listen in on that deeply personal session. Truth be told, it made me hate him a little less. Rutting bastard. At this rate, I'd actively start liking him by New Year"s. Fuck.

"Caspian, do you really think that? That you don't deserve love?" Dahlia asked softly as she cupped his scruff-covered jaw.

He swallowed thickly before pressing his forehead to hers. "Just because I don't deserve it, that doesn't mean I don't want it... or feel it."

"Cas..."

"That wasn't the important part of the tape, though, sweet girl," he blurted, interrupting her. "The part I wanted you to hear was the last bit. About if I ever found the one fate intended for me, what it would mean. How all that I am would be hers. I meant every word, Dahlia. Even before I knew who you were, it was true, and it"s as true today as it was then." He laughed, but it was heavy with the weight of his emotion. "Probably more true, truth be told. I'd give you anything you asked of me, darling. My life, if that's what you required. All that I am is yours to command."

"Well, hell. That was even better than what I told her," Hades grumbled. "Slippery fucker came in swinging."

Dahlia grinned as she wiped a stray tear off her cheek. "Yeah, he did. Don't worry, boys. I have a high capacity for swoon. And unless I'm mistaken, now it's time for me to give you your presents."

She leaned into Hook, nuzzling her nose against his. "Thank you for my gift, Cas. I love it." Then she stood and held out a hand for him to go with her. Dammit, I should've gone last.

The remaining three of us watched as she shoved him onto the bed and dropped to her knees between his spread legs.

"Merry Christmas, indeed," he murmured as she worked open his pants.

"Are we all getting the same thing, or..." Kai trailed off as he adjusted his erection.

Dahlia peeked at him over her shoulder. "Are you asking me if you should all line up?"

"It's not the worst idea I've ever heard," Hades offered.

I didn't disagree. If you'd have asked me a month ago if I would have been okay with my mate getting on her knees and servicing four men at once, I would have ripped your fucking throat out. Now, though... There was definite appeal. Especially knowing how wet it would make her. I was sure if I shoved my hand down her knickers, I'd find her slick and ready to take my cock. The pleasure we could all provide her with as a unit was addictive.

"Is that what you want?" she asked as she palmed Caspian's cock and gave it a cursory stroke. Cas grunted as she squeezed around the base.

"Don't distract her. She's busy."

I ignored Caspian and focused on Dahlia. "What do you want, K?rasta? You're the one giving the gift. It's up to you what that looks like."

Her lips curled. "How come when you say it like that, it sounds like I'm the one getting the present?"

"Because you know you're gonna come either way," Hades answered. "One or all of us will ensure it. Fingers, lips, tongue, teeth, cock. Whatever you want, it'll happen, baby doll."

"Shadows?"

He let out a dark chuckle. "If you wish."

"Oh, for fuck's sake, can you lot shut up? I'm trying to get a hand job over here, and you're ruining it."

Dahlia let out the sweetest giggle before she returned her attention to Hook. "Well, I was going to suck your dick until you came down my throat, but if you'd rather I use my ha?—"

"No! Mouth, please. I would like that very much."

I almost laughed at Hook's frantic interruption, but she leaned forward and licked his length, making him writhe under her ministrations. My own cock hardened as I pictured her doing the very same to me.

Kai was the first to move closer. He stalked across the room toward the bed, kneeling beside Dahlia so he could touch her while she worked her way up and down Caspian's length. Not wanting to miss out on my chance to do the same, I took the other side before Hades could.

"I need to touch your skin, gem. Are you overly attached to this jumper?" Kai asked, his fingers shifting into sharp talons.

She released Caspian's cock and whispered, "Shred it, Kai."

Fuck, I loved this side of her. Wild and free, trusting us completely.

With one precise drag of his claw down the back of her jumper, all she had to do was shrug out of the ruined fabric. Her perfect full tits greeted us all, and I had to palm my length to relieve some of the ache the sight caused. I didn't think I'd ever grow immune to her sinful curves. A soft grunt left me as my mind was filled with images of painting them in ropes of my cum, then using my fingers to rub my spend into her skin so she'd smell like me all fucking day.

"Fucking perfect," Hades groaned from where he stood near the tree. His pants were open, hand down the front as he adjusted himself. He wasn't trying to hide what she did to him either.

"Goddess, if you keep doing that thing with your tongue, I'm going to fucking come, darling," Hook warned, his thighs trembling, hands fisting the sheets.

His admission didn't dissuade her. She only sucked him harder, one of her hands sliding back between his legs so she could tease him further.

"Oh, fuck yes, darling girl," he moaned, completely under her spell, and I couldn't blame him. If I was on the receiving end of her hot, wet mouth and teasing fingers, I'd be the same.

Kai kissed a path along her neck and shoulder as he reached down with one hand to shove his joggers past his thighs. His other hand was busy tweaking one of Dahlia's nipples.

"Fuck, sweet girl. I'm close," Cas barked.

Whatever she did with the hand that was between his legs made him jerk and cry out in pure pleasure. His body tensed as he groaned out his release. From my vantage point, I could make out the muscles of her throat working as she swallowed him down. It had my own balls aching in anticipation. Part of me needed it to be my turn next, but another wanted desperately to be the last man to fill her mouth.

I stepped up behind her, then fisted her hair in a tight grip and tugged until she was forced to look up at me. With my free hand, I trailed my fingers down the exposed curve of her throat as the back of her head came to rest on my thighs. A pearly drop of Caspian's release had escaped her mouth, so I used my thumb to wipe her chin clean, then slipped the digit between her lips.

"Suck," I ordered.

"Mmm."

Fuck, I loved the way she hummed in pleasure at that.

My cock twitched happily as she obeyed, the warm heat of her mouth a perfect echo of her sweet cunt.

Cas was still draped like a starfish on the bed, his climax taking him out of commission for the time being. That was fine by me.

"Go on without me," he panted. "I just need... a minute. Fuck."

"Which one of us is next, gem? You have us at your disposal." Kai nipped her shoulder, and she gave a soft whimper at the contact. "From the look of things, we're all ready for you."

"If you're going to make me choose, then I choose all three of you," she said with a cat-that-ate-the-canary grin.

"How do you think you're going to do that, baby?" Hades asked, his eyes blazing blue as he stepped closer to us.

"Take out your cocks and I'll show you."

I released her hair and followed her order, my length already weeping with need for my mate.

Adjusting her position, she slipped out of the pajama bottoms she was wearing and tossed them aside. Her back was to the bed now, chin lifted to look up at my large frame as she waited for me to close the distance between us.

"Tor, I want you in my mouth first."

Hades and Kai stood at her sides, both of them ready with their dicks in their hands.

"Look at you, baby doll. You have us at your mercy even when you're on your knees. Do you understand the power you have over us?"

"I do, but only because it's the same power each of you has over me."

My dick twitched in anticipation as I reached down and grabbed her by the jaw, needing her attention in the worst way. "I'm dying without you, K?rasta. I need you to touch me."

She offered me a wicked smile before leaning forward and licking the precum off my tip. My hand slid from her jaw to her throat so I could lightly collar her while she teased me. Two could play this game. I knew exactly what the feel of my powerful hands around her vulnerable throat did to her.

A soft whimper escaped her, and at first I thought it was because of me, but then I noticed the inky tendrils disappearing between her thighs.

Fucker just couldn't wait his turn.

Growling low in my throat, I said, "Eyes on me, beauty. Don't pay attention to what he's doing to you. Not when my cock is going to be in your mouth."

Hades chuckled, but it was cut off by a groan as she wrapped her palm around his length, then did the same to Kai with her other hand.

"Our girl is a multi-tasker. Of course she is," Hook said from the bed. "It's dead sexy watching her like this."

He was propped up on his elbows now so he could watch the show. Based on the thickening of his cock against his belly, he was enjoying it.

Dahlia slipped her velvety mouth around my eager shaft, taking me all the way to the back of her throat in one move. Thank the gods above my mate didn't have a gag reflex. She was made for us in every way.

My fingers threaded in her hair again, if only so I could hold on to something to ground me in the moment. I knew if I gave myself over to the sensation of her, the vibrations caused by the pleased hums she released, and fuck, the way her throat convulsed around me when she took me to the root, I'd be spilling down her throat too soon.

Without warning, she let me go with a wet pop and twisted her head to the side, swallowing Kai down. I nearly protested, but my words were cut off when she used her hand to replace her mouth on my cock.

"Fuck," Hades grunted, his eyes locked on her. "You are so damn beautiful, baby doll."

"Of course she fucking is. She's ours," Kai forced out.

"You should feel her cunt, Tor. Sucking you off made her flutter around my shadows like she was nearly going to come. Ah, fuck, baby. I need you to slow down," Hades said, his hand shooting out to brace himself on one of the four posts on the bed frame as she swapped so he was now the one in her mouth.

She must have tried to say something, causing those same delicious vibrations I'd been feeling to ripple around him.

"Sonofabitch," he barked, eyes rolling back in his head and knuckles going white against the wood. "Watch out, baby doll. You keep at it, I'll make it so you can't. I'm not ready to finish."

"Why would you go and do something stupid like that?" Caspian asked. "Her mouth is a gift. If you don't want it, shove over and I'll take your place."

"You had your turn, pirate," he grumbled as Dahlia once again rotated so her lips were wrapped around me once more.

"Fuck, beauty. This is... gods, this is the hottest thing I've ever done. Your perfect fucking mouth," I groaned, fingers twisting in her hair to hold her in place before she could leave me again.

Hades may not want to come, but I sure fucking did. And I knew exactly where my spend was going to go.

"Enough," I bellowed, pulling out of her mouth. I stroked my length as I stared down at her, a frantic plea in my eyes for her to give me what I silently asked for.

She tilted her head back, baring her throat and those gorgeous tits a mere second before my orgasm raced through me.

A nearly incoherent string of sounds left me as jet after jet of my cum striped her flushed skin. Exactly as I'd imagined. The perfect decoration for her to wear.

"I cannae even be jealous you did it first. She wears your cum so well."

"Why don't you add yours to the mix?" Dahlia breathed as she furiously stroked both Hades and Kai.

Kai sucked in a sharp breath, his body trembling, eyes flashing vibrant amethyst as his pupils turned to slits and his voice deepened. "Nae, my wee mate. The only place I'm coming is inside you."

"Not if I get you off first."

She turned to him and opened her mouth, but he backed away. "Lass," he warned. "Please."

Giving him a stroke instead, she looked to Hades, licking his tip and sucking on him like his cock was a lollipop. She released him and rolled her eyes up to stare into his before releasing the head of him with a wet pop. "My lord Hades will let me drink him down. Won't you?"

A frustrated growl escaped him as he fisted her hair and let her choke on his dick. But I saw it the moment he realized he was approaching the point of no return. There was a flash of panic, a primal gleam in his eyes, and I had to fight a chuckle when he tore his cock from her mouth.

"Stop, baby doll."

Dahlia leaned forward again, desperate for it, but he rocked his hips backward. "No. You aren't getting my cum down your throat."

"I want it."

"You'll get it, but just like Kai, there's only one place my seed belongs. That's inside your cunt."

She stiffened and reached for him, but he stopped her with a hard stare. "Don't make me restrain you, goddess. I will. The gods help me, I will."

"No restraints," Caspian said, no hint of teasing in his voice. For once, he was dead serious. "It's a hard limit for her."

Dahlia shifted on her knees, glancing at each of us in turn. "Well, maybe if?—"

"No. There's no if when your limits are part of the equation. No restraints." Hades reached out and wiped a tear from her cheek, one I proudly recalled causing while I was shoved down her throat.

"It's different when it's you," she whispered. "When it's any of you."

"Why's it different, gem?" Kai asked, wanting the words likely as much as the rest of us.

"Because I know no matter what, I'll always be safe with you. You'd never hurt me."

"I'd die first," Caspian vowed.

A low growl escaped me as I glared at him. That was my line.

"As would I," I added, frustrated it lacked some of the same power as a mere echo of the pirate's promise.

"Aye, gem. Me as well."

Dahlia glanced at Hades. "And what about you, my lord Hades?"

"I rule the realm of the dead, baby doll. Pretty sure I can't technically die. But if I could, it would be for you."

"See? Safe. Pretty sure there isn't a safer place in any realm than with one or all four of you."

He looked at her long and hard, seeming to come to a decision. "Well, in that case, stand up, baby doll."
