Serina

T horne and Nox’s voices were quiet murmurs as I came to. It seemed serious, but they hushed when they noticed me.

My body was still a little buzzy from the woods. I sat up on the couch, realizing I was in the living room.

They both looked over at me. Thorne was shirtless in only a clean pair of pants as if he had taken a quick shower because he was no longer covered in blood, and the marks that were on his skin were now so faint, I barely noticed them.

I stood from the couch, and my body instantly flooded with relief. Relief because we were no longer in the woods. No longer running.

We were safe. He was safe.

They were safe.

Save for Bastian, and no matter how many times Nox and Thorne told me he was okay, I still had a hard time believing them.

They were keeping something from me, but I didn’t have time to dwell on that now. Because they were here. In front of me. There were no pieces missing from them. They weren’t bleeding out on the forest floor. I wasn’t a defenseless bystander forced to watch as they were taken from me.

My breaths were heavy as I rushed Thorne and cupped his face, my eyes going glassy as a lump of emotion clogged my throat. I refused to let my tears slip free, but he held my face and placed his forehead against mine.

“You’re safe, Serina. I’m safe. We’re all safe,” he whispered in assurance, his warm breath skittering over my trembling lip.

My breathing started to slow. He thumbed my cheeks.

Could he hear the panic inside my chest? The fear from reliving something so similar to the worst day of my life? It was the reason Sam had been mad at me; I had distanced myself from everyone because I couldn’t go through that again.

I couldn’t fail someone I cared for again, someone I loved .

So, I went on a rampage of vengeance alone instead.

But there was no denying it anymore. Even if I wanted to, they would see straight through my bullshit. I cared for them; I was falling for them …

And there wasn’t a damn thing I could do to keep myself from falling… Even if I didn’t want to.

I didn’t want to allow someone so close to my heart that it would put me at risk for the pain that comes with feeling. But the heart never cared about what you wanted; emotions just came as an onslaught whenever they felt like it.

My nose brushed against his, and for a second, I looked deep into his eyes. His brow was knitted in contemplation as he watched me, as if he could see the tormenting thoughts I’d been having these past few moments.

His nose nudged mine again, and my head lifted. His lips hovered just over mine, and I allowed my lips to graze against his, an inviting caress. He tugged back briefly to look me in the eyes, and when he saw no doubt there, he pulled me into his arms. One hand moved from my face to the nape of my neck to cradle my head like I was something precious.

And then, his lips met mine forcefully. I whimpered as he kissed me with tongue and teeth. A groan came from him, one filled with hunger and longing as if he had waited his entire life for this kiss.

A kiss where his blissful venom wasn’t surging through me, and it was me kissing him from my own desires. His grip on my hair grew tighter as he moved my head to the side, and I felt another set of lips kissing down my neck and shoulder.

Shivers skated down my back because it was Nox touching me as I kissed Thorne.

They were both touching me.

Thorne’s other hand worked down my body until he was on my ass, giving it a squeeze. Meanwhile, Nox’s hand slipped down my front, both of their hard chests pinning me between them.

I moaned from just the feel of their bodies cocooning around me. My core ignited like liquid fucking fire as Nox’s fingers slipped past my pants. Thorne nipped at my lip, and I did the same with him.

Tasting the mix of our blood and his scent.

It was fucking delicious. Nox’s fingers teased my panties before he plunged them past the lace and ran his fingers through my wet slit.

“Fuck, she’s so wet for us,” Nox hissed out as Thorne broke our kiss. His hand slid from my ass to underneath my shirt. Nox shifted just enough behind me so Thorne could pull the shirt off and over my head.

Thorne kissed my lips again, down my jaw, neck, the tops of my breasts as his hands moved to undo my bra.

Nox’s wicked fingers began to move languidly against my clit, making me arch into his touch as I lolled my head back against him with a groan.

Thorne’s mouth was instantly on my peaked nipples, sucking and nipping at the sensitive flesh between his teeth. It sent sparks straight to my core. I grabbed onto the back of Thorne’s neck, keeping him there as I started grinding against Nox’s fingers.

Every muscle went taut as that growing fire burned through me. I was going to come.

My movements became uneven, desperate as I moaned. Nox’s fingers didn’t stop their assault as his other hand grabbed my throat, giving me a tight necklace as he squeezed and kissed along my sensitive skin.

It sent me over the edge. Thorne gave all his attention to my breasts and body while Nox fingered me and kissed on my neck with that subtle squeeze of his fingers.

I came undone with a cry. Neither Thorne nor Nox stopped, not until I rode out every last wave of my orgasm.

“Tell us you don’t want anymore… and this can all end,” Nox whispered against the shell of my ear as he pulled his hand out of my pants and Thorne began kissing down my abdomen.

He paused, waiting for my answer, but all I did was help him grip the top of my pants and pull them down my trembling legs. Thorne stood, and now all I had on was my lacey panties.

They wanted me to say it. Give them a response.

So instead of saying it, I decided to show it.

I dropped to my knees in front of Thorne and easily pulled out his hard cock from his pants. I licked the tip, causing a whispered curse to escape him before I gripped Nox’s pants as well and tugged him lightly to stand next to Thorne.

He helped me pull his pants down. I switched back and forth between them with light strokes and licks until they were both buzzing with anticipation. I put Thorne’s cock in my mouth, taking him all the way down to the hilt before I came all the way back up.

His hand tangled in my hair as I bobbed on his cock.

I gripped Nox’s cock in my other hand, stroking him slowly from root to tip. Precum leaked from his crown as his breathing became more ragged.

I pulled off of Thorne with a resounding pop , shifting over to Nox to take him down too. The saltiness of his precum only urged me on further. He was so needy for me.

Nox moaned, “You’re such a wicked little monster for us, such a good fucking girl.”

As I bobbed on his cock, choking, his words sent flutters straight to my core, and I moaned as I deep throated him while I stroked Thorne now.

The sounds of my choked whimpers only seemed to make them both harder, that much closer to falling apart for me. I moved faster on Nox, and he yanked my head off of him with a hiss before helping me to my feet.

He lifted me into his arms, and I yelped from suddenly feeling weightless. He moved quickly up the stairs, with Thorne sharp on our heels.

Suddenly, at speeds too fast for me to recognize, I was straddled over Nox’s waist on his bed. Looking down, I could see his hard cock jutted up and resting against my stomach.

I moved down his body slowly until my mouth hovered just over his tip again, and I sucked him into my mouth. I peered up through my lashes, and he watched me before he groaned, and his head fell back and pressed into the pillows.

Thorne’s hands were on me a moment later. He didn’t just take my panties off, he ripped them off and I gasped, the sound making Nox grip onto my hair with another moan.

Thorne’s hands guided my hips back, and his hard cock was at my entrance prodding and teasing and I arched into him, so desperate to be full of him.

He placed gentle kisses down my spine before he finally started to inch into me. I cried out against Nox’s cock as Thorne filled me and wrapped an arm around my waist to play with my clit.

I had never been so fucking aroused in all my life.

“Fuck, Serina,” Thorne moaned my name, and the sound of it instantly had my climax rising within me again.

He thrusted into me, again and again, his pace even and brutal as his fingers swirled around my taut bundle of nerves. If my mouth wasn’t full of cock, I’d be fucking screaming.

Nox was writhing beneath me, on the edge of unraveling. The power I held over this immortal man, far more powerful than I was, stirred something deep within me.

My climax bubbled to the surface again, and within the next thrust and small circle of Thorne’s fingers, while Nox fisted my hair and pulled, my pussy clamped down on him. I came undone on Thorne’s cock.

Nox growled out as his release pumped into my mouth, hot cum slipping down my throat as I swallowed everything he gave me.

Thorne smacked my ass, the sting only adding to the exploding pleasure from my orgasm.

The next moment, he filled me to the hilt, moaning as his cock pulsed into me with his release. He filled me until it was slipping down my thighs and I was left a soaked, satisfied mess.

My arms couldn’t hold me up, my body so drained in the best way.

An instant tiredness settled over me, probably from the blood loss earlier but also the best fucking orgasms I’d ever had in my life.

Orgasms. Plural.

I couldn’t remember a time I had ever gotten more than one from a guy. I never had.

Thorne helped me shift to Nox’s side as he did the same, lying on the other side of me until I was sandwiched between them on Nox’s bed.

Our breathing was still labored, and we all had a sheen of sweat glistening over our skin.

I leaned up on my elbow to look over at Nox, whose eyes were already on me, and I kissed him softly. He mirrored my kiss, brushing a stray lock of my hair from my face.

“I’m done fighting my demons,” I murmured against his lips, and he deepened the kiss. I swayed and plopped back on the bed, and he moved so he wouldn’t break the tangling of our lips.

When he finally pulled away, his eyes were lit aflame, and a small smile curved his mouth. My eyes were practically fluttering closed, the weight of all the things that happened today hitting me all at once.

“I know,” he whispered, kissing my forehead. “Now, get some sleep. We’ll take care of you.”

I didn’t have time to respond as my body refused to stay awake.
