Chapter 21

Once they got back to the manor and were locked behind the wards and the door, the guards peeled off. Halcyon carried the unconscious Tristan, and Kima carried Luis. Kima said she could handle getting them all settled, and that was a load off Mari's mind, because once the lion shifter put her mind to something it got done in the most expeditious way possible.

Rio carried Mari across the expansive foyer. He had shot a disgruntled look her way when she'd started to protest that she was perfectly capable of walking.

Dante headed off toward the stairs that led to the guest rooms. "See you in the morning," he said with a wave.

Rio stopped. "Where are you going?"

Dante glanced his way. "To my room. It's up there." He pointed.

"Your room is this way, with us." Rio resumed walking toward the pool house but pulled up again when he sensed that Dante wasn't following.

Rolling his eyes, Rio pivoted around again. "She's been in love with you basically the entire time." He tipped his head toward Cisco. "And he'll accept anyone she does. I've been the hold out. They wouldn't ever invite anyone to our room without asking me."

Dante stared for what felt like a very long time.

Mari smiled in Dante's direction. "He's inviting you now."

"You risked your life for her. That's more than enough to earn you a spot in my bed." Rio started to turn, but paused. "As long as you don't hog the blankets."

Cisco slung an arm around Rio's shoulders. "No one else can hog the blankets when you're in the bed, mi vida. You have them all."

Rio wrinkled his nose, but his lips curled all the same as he looked up at the gargoyle from under his thick lashes. "That's right. I need something to hold on to when you're fucking me senseless."

Cisco rumbled contentedly. "Why did we stop walking again?"

"Come on, Dante." Mari grinned. "It's past time I had all three of you at once."

That got his feet moving, even if he seemed surprised by it.

"Gods," Cisco said. "If there's anything sexier than how pussywhipped he is for you, I have no idea what it is."

"You, stretched out under me, waiting for me to have my way with you," Mari said without thinking. She felt their focus swing to her all at once and a delicious shiver of desire passed through her. "Walk, Rio."

"Fuck that," Cisco growled and scooped up Rio with one arm. One powerful beat of his wings later he had Dante wrapped up in the other and they were dashing toward the pool house at his ridiculous top speed.

The moment they were through the door she was on her feet and Rio started divesting her of her bloody clothes. She watched him quietly while he worked.

Cisco was behind her the next instant, his strong arms lifting her and taking her to the bathroom. He washed the blood from her skin and hair reverently. When he was done drying her, his hands circled her hips before skating up to her breasts. He wasn't gentle when he pulled her back against him. The weight of his erection pressed against her spine as he gave her tits an affectionate squeeze. "What do you need, Mariana?"

She arched her back and rubbed herself against him. "You, on your back, like my own personal erotic buffet."

His contented rumble vibrated through her as he lowered his mouth to her ear. "Your wish is my command." He carried her out to the bedroom, set her on her feet, and then moved around her, letting one hand trail over her hip. With a playful smile, Cisco sat on the bed and started to scoot backward, sparing a heated glance for Rio who was just starting to remove his own clothes. Cisco stretched out in the middle of the bed, watching her intently.

Dante stood to one side, looking a bit awkward. She beckoned him over with a gesture, and he stepped closer without hesitating. Mari slid her hands under his T-shirt and ran her fingers over his stomach and chest as she removed it. He shivered when she pulled his mouth down to hers for a kiss.

Rio came up behind her at the same time and leaned to kiss the side of her neck. He reached around her to undo Dante's belt. She swallowed Dante's moan when Rio slipped his hand inside Dante's pants and gave his cock a squeeze.

"Holy fuck, that's hot," Cisco murmured from his spot on the bed.

Mari broke the kiss and turned to grin at him as she slid her hand down to join Rio's. "You can touch yourself while you watch the show, but don't you dare come. Every drop is mine."

"Gods, I love it when you're greedy," he groaned as he wrapped his clawed fingers around his cock and started to stroke himself, his eyes passing over the three of them.

While Rio moved to help Dante out of his pants, Mari rubbed Dante's cock until he made that sexy nicker that she adored so much. "Do you want to help get me ready to take his huge cock?"

Dante licked his lips and nodded slowly, his eyes never leaving hers. She reached up and grabbed a handful of his hair at the nape of his neck and guided him to his knees in front of her. Saints, she would never get over the reverent way he looked up at her from this position. It made her magic sparkle and hum inside her. She ran her fingers roughly through his hair.

Rio circled an arm around her and helped her balance as she lifted one leg to hook it over Dante's shoulder.

Dante raised his hand to caress her thigh as he smiled up at her. "May I?"

"Always."

He leaned to kiss her inner thigh delicately, taking a moment to brush his lips over her skin before trailing kisses toward her core. She curled her toes when he nuzzled against her, the heat of his breath teasing her. Dante indulged himself with a long, slow lick along her seam, his eyes angling upward to watch her reaction.

She wrapped her fingers in his hair, arching his neck and encouraging him to delve deeper. His mouth was the most delectable sin—hot and wet and eager to please. The noises of enjoyment that rose from Dante's throat made her shiver as Rio's arms wrapped around her from behind.

Rio's hand slid between her legs to hold her open for Dante, so the unicorn could concentrate on his task, which was turning her inside out with his lips and tongue. Dante sucked at her clit with avid intensity for as long as she could stand it, and when she began to tremble, he lowered his head and slid his tongue inside her.

Her hips angled toward him, but Rio held her back, his fingers circling over her now abandoned clit so that she clenched around Dante's tongue. They held her that way, at their mercy, until she was panting with need, but they both knew her body well enough by now to hold off the orgasm that wanted to tumble through her.

"Dante," she moaned as she pulled his head back to look up at her. "Get up here and fuck me properly with that magnificent cock."

He surged to his feet in an instant, letting her leg slide down to his waist as he rose. He speared her with a long, slow glide that curled her toes, his hand moving to the small of her back to support her. She cried out at the absolute perfection of the sensation, her head falling back to rest on Rio's shoulder. Rio kept massaging her clit all the while, leaning to nibble on her neck as her hips rocked between them.

Dante picked up his pace, his hands curling around her ass to give his thrusts more power.

She tugged his hair again and leaned up to bite his jaw. "Don't stop until I come all over your cock."

He grunted his agreement and redoubled his efforts, using all of his significant strength and every drop of his sexual prowess as Rio held her open for him.

She turned to watch Cisco as Dante slammed into her. His hand on his cock kept pace with the frantic rhythm of Dante's hips.

She let the orgasm cascade over her in a rush of pleasure, driving her magic into Dante so he came at the same time. He clutched her ass, thrusting deep as his hips jerked, and sending the magic back into her in a delicious circuit.

Mari pulled his mouth down to kiss him hungrily. She would never stop craving the taste of her on his lips. He murmured against her mouth, his desire already coming alive once again. She loved her insatiable unicorn. She curled her fingers in his hair. "Take me to the bed."

He pulled her up into his arms without a word. She gestured to a spot next to Cisco and waited for Dante to place her there. Rather than turn toward Cisco, she beckoned Rio closer, and he crossed to her in a hurry.

She leaned back, easing herself between Cisco and Dante as she drew up her knees and spread her legs, inviting Rio between them. Rio crawled over her, dropping down to kiss her here and there along the way, and then sank into her to the hilt.

Pleasure raced through her, making her back arch. A low groan of satisfaction escaped her as Rio filled her perfectly. She reached to grab the back of Rio's neck and pulled him into a deep and dirty kiss.

Cisco nuzzled the side of her face and wrapped his other arm around her middle. From the other side, Dante repeated his movement, so that she was surrounded by them. The heat of their desire soaked into her on all sides, making her magic soar.

Rio began to pump into her at a leisurely pace. She moaned into his mouth as Cisco slid his hand between them to rub her clit with the same slow rhythm. Dante spread his fingers over her writhing pelvis, holding her to the bed as Rio's thrusts became longer and more powerful.

Mari reached out with her magic, drawing on all three of them at once. The spiraling pleasure was almost too much. She let the building power surge out into the room. The windows rattled. Rio's hips stuttered. Dante groaned into her ear. Cisco nudged her hip with his heavy cock. It was all so fucking good .

She let the orgasm roll over her without trying to hold it back, crying out against Rio's lips as the magic sparked across her skin. They all held her as her body gradually calmed.

As the three of them cuddled against her in the shivering aftermath, the goddess came forward. She didn't try to wrest control from Mari, but made her wishes known. There was brief dialog between them, followed by a profound moment of understanding. These men were hers—both of hers—and she would never harm them.

The smokey blue tendrils of her power unfurled lazily, stroking over Dante's hip with a request for permission.

Dante chuckled and pressed closer to her, intuiting what she wanted immediately. "Yes, my beautiful goddess. Always yes."

Rio sat back on his heels, rising off of her but not withdrawing as he watched her magic wrap around Dante.

Dante moaned as she penetrated him with her power. His magic sparked through her skin, making her even more desperate for him.

Mari turned her head to capture his mouth with hers. She wrapped more of her magic around his cock and balls for extra stimulation. His back arched in a willing and wanton offering as she stroked into him.

"Tell me what you would give me," she said in a voice that rumbled against his lips with the goddess's power.

He whined briefly, his hips straining. "Everything."

Rio reached out to rest his hand on the pulsating manifestation of her power that curled over Dante's hip. Her magic extended to wrap around his wrist reflexively, but went no further. Cisco tensed on the other side of her, but didn't move to intercede.

Rio's eyes widened, surprised but not afraid. "She cares for us."

"She does." Mari turned her head to smile at him. "Not the same as I do, I'm not sure she's capable of romantic love, but she would never harm you." Mari understood that now about the ancient entity that lived inside her. These men were Hers to protect and Hers to cherish. She had claimed them as Her own. "And she understands now that she shouldn't ever take without permission."

Rio watched Dante for a few seconds as Mari's magic fucked into him. She nudged his prostate with deliberate strokes until he panted for breath and writhed in her grip. His magic pulsed into her in hypnotic waves.

"Please," Dante groaned.

She squeezed his throbbing cock until he exhaled a delicate whimper. "Not yet."

Rio leaned forward to cover her body with his once more, bracing his hands on either side of her head as he rolled his hips to drive into her. "Take me."

The goddess crowed in triumph as Mari claimed his mouth with a possessive kiss. She moved slowly, stroking her magic over Rio's skin as it spiraled up his arm to wrap around his throat before snaking down his back.

"Harder." She smiled against his lips. "I need more." She spread her thighs wider, resting her legs against both Cisco and Dante on either side.

Groaning, Rio picked up his pace, driving into her completely with each powerful thrust. The way he filled her was just divine. She teased over his hole to let him know what the reward was for pleasing her so well. She clenched around his cock as she breeched him, enjoying the harsh exhale of breath that feathered over her lips.

"You're so fucking hot when you're greedy," Cisco rumbled into her ear. "I can't wait for my turn." He rubbed his fingers over her clit in a hard circle that made her hips flex.

Mari turned to look at him, though it was hard to focus with the tidal wave of mingled pleasure coursing through her and Rio absolutely ruining her cunt. She wrapped her fingers around Cisco's cock and stroked him slowly. "Really?"

He smiled, showing his fangs. "I'm yours, Mariana. To do with as you please." He rocked his hips to push his cock into her grip. "Always."

They were hers. All hers. She took a moment to bask in the feel of them, all around her and inside her, their desire cascading over her in a rush.

"You'll have your turn after I've finished both of them. I want to savor you." She curled her fingers around his hard cock with a grin. Hers. "Help Rio fuck me with your tail while you wait."

He murmured his approval before pressing a chaste kiss to her lips while he worked his tail between her legs. She gasped when he pushed inside, stretching her in all the right ways. He flicked his fingers over her clit as he worked his tail deeper.

At the same time, she used the rising arousal to fuel her magic. She plunged deeper into both Dante and Rio, fucking them with thickening shafts of her magic until they both moaned in unison.

Mari turned her attention to Dante. His breath came in a harsh pant as his power strained inside of him, tempting her with the taste of lust and candy.

"You've been so good, my sweet love." She squeezed his cock with her magic as she favored him with nibbling kisses. "Come for me. Give me everything." At the same time, she flicked his prostate with repeated strokes.

He shattered immediately, his voice rising in a hoarse cry before breaking. She drank down the magic that he surrendered to her. He was sweeter than the best candy. His hips jerked as his cum splattered over her hip. She murmured praise against his lips as his body slowly relaxed. He sighed luxuriously when she eased from his body, nuzzling into her with a contented sigh.

"Harder, Rio," she coaxed when she turned her attention to him. She tightened her magic's grip around his throat and drew him closer. At the same time she used her magic to press deeper into him.

He moaned into her mouth and did as she commanded, forcing her thighs wider as he drilled into her. She pressed her hand to his chest over his heart, her fingers splaying over his unscarred skin. The unintentional, if miraculous, healing of his body had been an accidental discharge of a fraction of the magic she held now.

"Come with me Rio," she panted. "Fill me up with your desire."

Rio cried out against her mouth as his entire body shook. His magic poured into her, overflowing every barrier. She screamed as her orgasm burst free when he bottomed out in her one last time.

As she soared, she felt Dohal's attention focus on her from where he dwelled far below the earth. She knew how she could free him, how she could draw him to her side where he belonged and never let him go, if she had the courage. Because he was hers too, and she felt the lack of him even as she was so, so satisfied.

Her body shook as Rio withdrew. He fell to the bed on the other side of Cisco, completely overwhelmed and exhausted.

Mari drew a deep breath, and then turned to push Cisco flat. Dazed from the surge of power she'd released, he didn't resist. His cock bobbed as he settled onto his back. She didn't have any idea how he'd held back with the explosion of power she'd unleashed, but she appreciated that he had. Because she still needed more.

She climbed atop him and took him to the hilt in a long, slow glide that made him tremble under her. His expression of absolute surrender as he looked up at her sent a shiver of desire tingling up her spine. The thought that he had never submitted to anyone the way that he did so easily to her made her clench deliciously around his rock-hard cock.

She ground her hips in a slow and delicious circle, enjoying the way he filled her to bursting.

"Gods," Cisco gasped, reaching up to curl his fingers around her sides. "You feel so good." He pulled her down into a scathing kiss as he lifted his hips. His lips skated over her jaw on their way to nip at her throat.

Smiling triumphantly, she began to ride his length, feeling powerful and sexy when he leaned back into the bed and gave over control to her entirely. "Do you like being at my mercy, Cisco?" She moved her hands to his biceps, bearing down on his arms as she rocked.

A harsh moan escaped Cisco as her nails dug in. "Yes." His hips flexed as she took him deep again. She wrapped her magic around him, starting with his wrists, pressing him to the bed so that even with his significant strength he couldn't move unless she allowed it.

She called out to Dohal again, showing him exactly what was happening as she spread Cisco's legs and used a thin finger of her magic to rim his ass.

Even from so far away, Dohal's regard set her nerves ablaze. She didn't know how she could feel so full but still need more, but she wouldn't stop until all of those that were hers had emptied themselves in her.

She leaned down to give Cisco a light kiss and then murmured against his lips, "I'm going to squeeze every drop from you and leave you spent under me."

"Yes," Cisco groaned.

She pushed into him forcefully, smiling savagely against his lips when he grunted. She rose up to sitting again so she could get the leverage she needed.

The power poured into her from Cisco in a torrent, and she redirected it instinctively, reaching across the miles that separated her from Dohal. His swift movement toward her was his only acknowledgement.

She fucked Cisco with frantic thrusts of her hips, riding him hard while she penetrated him at the same urgent pace. His hips rose when she drove deep and she ground her clit against his pelvis. She took what she needed from him as he was stretched out under her.

Thick tendrils of her magic looped around his horns and drew his head back, exposing him even more. She raked her nails down his chest. He cried out her name with a rough voice.

Dohal's necklace fell from her neck and hit Cisco's chest. It shattered into fragments, driven outward by her magic and embedding into Cisco's chest, and Dante's, and Rio's, forming a design she couldn't quite make out with all that was going on and healed over immediately. The gemstones spun around behind her and embedded themselves along her spine with a prickle of pain that was over in an instant. The goddess purred inside her.

Dohal arrived in the room with a sound like the memory of thunder and his entrance set off a concussive wave that shattered the windows of the pool house as Mari came again. The pleasure rolled from her like a pressure wave, forcing Cisco to climax with a shout. She collapsed over Cisco's large body, every muscle shivering.
