SOREN
I t killed me that nothing was here for them. When we walked here, Max was growing more and more tense. I knew we weren't going to find anything, no matter how hard any of us wished for it.
Max and Oria had lost their family and a chance to figure out what happened after they had been captured. They had lost out on closure, but worst of all, they had lost their hope. When Max punched the column over and over again, his emotions felt like my own and all I wanted to do was break everything with him and for him.
When Ryder, Gray and I held onto Max and Oria, I realized this bond wasn't just with Oria, but this bond had tied all of us together. While I didn't have romantic love for Max, I knew I cared for him and would fight for him as much as I would for Oria.
I rested my head against Max's, with Ryder on his other side, trying to offer him comfort for the weight he was carrying on his shoulders. No one said anything as we held onto each other, but night had fallen, and I didn't like being out in the open like this. Even if we couldn't see anyone, that didn't mean no one was here.
"I don't want to break up this moment, but I think we should move this inside a building or make our way back," I said, looking around, the open space making me uncomfortable.
"He's right, we could have been followed or they might be here already," Ryder said, letting go first.
"This is just one city, but I don't think it's worth going further than this," Max said, pulling away. "We have to be smart and if it's a dead end, we can't waste any more time."
"I agree," Gray said, moving away from us to look around.
"Are you up for the walk back?" Ryder asked us.
"I'm tired, but I can do it," Oria said looking depleted.
"I'll carry you, Sunshine," Gray said, bringing Oria close to him so he could kiss her on her forehead.
"I think it's best if we leave now," Max said, also on alert, the sadness still etched on his face.
"Ok, lets?—"
"Thank you," Max interrupted Ryder. "I know you said it wasn't worth coming, but?—"
"No need to thank us," I said, clapping him on his shoulder.
"I know we aren't family by blood, but we are bonded and there isn't anything we wouldn't do for each other," Ryder said. "I know it's not the outcome you wanted, and I'm so sorry for that, but you have some answers. When this is all over, we can come back to make sure."
Max nodded. "I'd like that."
"Come on, let's go make sure you and Oria have that chance," I said, squeezing his shoulder.
Oria hugged Max before she jumped onto Gray.
"Soren will lead and I'll bring up the rear, keep your eyes open and point out anything that looks suspicious," Ryder said, and I took off to make sure nothing was ahead of us.
The run back took half as long since we had previously walked at Oria's speed. When we exited the door, the cool night air hit us, and I realized how different even the air was. The moon was full, giving us enough light to make it back to the car.
"I think we should head to my parents' pack," Ryder said, unlocking the doors.
"You think we will be safe there?" I asked, opening one of the back doors as Gray set Oria down on her feet, but kept her close.
"Do you have any other suggestions?" Ryder looked at us. "We can stay for a few nights, while we figure out a way to end this."
"Maybe we can go back?—"
"No," I growled, cutting off my twin. "Our parents will turn us away and there is no point in being around them. They'll likely do something stupid to us since we left them."
"Are we all ok going back to my parents pack?" Ryder asked.
"I'd like to meet your parents," Oria said, with a blush on her face.
He hesitated. "I'd like that too, Heaven." He walked over to her, kissing her softly. "So, are we all good?"
"As long as it's somewhere safe, I'm fine with it," Max said.
"Ok, it's a long drive so we better get going," Ryder said, as we all hopped into the car.
I looped an arm around Oria's waist, feeling the need to be near her. "Sit with me?"
"I want to sit with Max for a bit, is that ok?" She looked unsure.
"Of course, he probably needs comforting," I said, kissing her forehead.
She kissed my cheek before climbing in with Max.
"I can drive, Ryder, you get some rest. You've been driving this whole time," I said, taking the keys from him and climbing into the driver's seat.
"We can stop and get food and then you guys can sleep," Gray said, getting in the front seat with me.
"That sounds good," Ryder said, climbing into the back.
I turned the car on, backing out of our hiding spot to get food, because we all needed to rest up before we figured out what we needed to do about Laima and Taylin.
It would be a shame if we left California without eating In-N-Out—Ryder's words, not mine. After a quick stop for food and gas, we hit the road back to Colorado. The car grew quiet after everyone ate and I saw Oria snuggle up to Max as they spoke quietly about possibly going back. He said there were five major cities and how far they were from the central city that housed the capital.
Gray's phone finally turned on and he was quick to put music on. I leaned my elbow on the door, holding my head up with my hand, getting lost in the lines on the road. It was a pain in the ass to drive when we could just travel by portal, but we didn't have time to look for an alchemist or a witch to make us that magic.
The roads were empty with the occasional car passing us and I hoped it stayed like this till we reached Ryder's pack. There was nothing worse than traffic when you had a long drive.
I glanced over at Gray typing away on his phone looking at it intently. He scrolled through something before typing again. Knowing Gray, he was probably researching something about the Fae or who knows what. He loved researching information and I was glad one of us got the brains.
An upbeat song came on and I tapped my fingers against the wheels to the beat when I heard a soft sigh. I looked into the rearview mirror, but it was dark, and I couldn't really see anything except Max's outline. A moan made Gray turn around immediately and I glanced back quickly to see Oria and Max kissing.
"Lucky," Gray muttered.
I chuckled, but stopped when I heard another moan. Gray looked back again as I heard shuffling. My twin rearranged himself so he could look back.
"Hell no," I snarled, looking back to see Oria in Max's lap grinding on him.
Oria moaned again, her scent permeating the small space and my need for her grew as well as my cock.
"We said no fucking," I growled.
"Aw, poor Soren is going to miss out on all the fun," Ryder said from the back, throwing my earlier words back at me.
Gray chuckled and I glared at my brother who couldn't even bother to look at me. He was transfixed on our mate and if I hadn't been driving I would have done the same thing too. We were in the middle of nowhere and if we stopped, we might attract attention. Fuck it.
"Don't stop, Soren," Ryder and Gray said at the same time.
Oria moaned again.
"We need to keep going," Gray said, still looking at Oria.
I glanced back again, and she had no shirt on, leaning back as Max sucked on her tits.
"We can switch after I'm done." Gray climbed over the console, and I hit him because I was horny and it wasn't fair that I had to drive while they all got their dicks wet.
"Sol," Max moaned.
"Yes." Oria whimpered.
Max grunted and a wave of pleasure hit me like a tidal wave.
I looked in the rearview mirror to see Gray kissing Oria as she straddled Max. The angle that they were kissing was wrong and Oria grew frustrated. She maneuvered herself off Max's lap, turning around so she was facing forward, making it easier to kiss Gray as she whimpered into his mouth.
"Fuck you guys," I snapped, feeling frustrated that I was being left out.
"Enjoy the show, you big baby," Oria sighed.
The sound of rustling and a zipper made me clench my jaw. Gray moaned into the cabin of the car. Their pleasure was intense, as I palmed my cock to relieve a little pressure.
"You're so beautiful, Sunshine," Gray moaned.
"Gorgeous," Max grunted.
"Yes, right there," Oria sighed. "I'm gonna?—"
Oria yelled through her release as a few grunts came from Gray and Max. I gripped the steering wheel tight, forced to feel their pleasure while I drove. The sound of kissing replaced the moans until Oria squealed.
"Ryder!" She laughed then that quickly turned into a moan.
I closed my eyes for a moment trying to control my urge to go to her. She was too far back in the car that my eyesight didn't see much except her naked back. I felt her euphoria, the way it lit up her body and everything made my cock impossibly harder. My mouth watered with her scent, my fangs descended ever so slightly, making me hungry for a taste.
Her moan permeated the car. My grip on the steering wheel tightened and I was pretty sure I had bent it.
"Calm down," Gray said, hopping back into the passenger seat. "There's not a lot of space to do anything."
"You try driving while feeling pleasure, I almost said fuck it and pulled over," I said, as Oria moaned and so did Ryder.
"Damn, I should have waited. I could have slid inside of her and?—"
I snarled, interrupting him.
"Put it on cruise control," Gray chuckled.
"Already done," I said, getting out of the seat fast as he replaced me.
The car slightly swerved, but our transition was smooth. Max chuckled at me, but I scowled at him.
"Look who got impatient?" Ryder's husky voice made Oria look over her shoulder.
Her eyes were half closed as she rolled her hips. The stupid car was way too small for what I wanted to do to her, but I closed the distance between us, kneeling behind her, threading my hands through her hair to kiss her.
"You needy, little thing," I growled against her lips.
"Max needed some sunshine," she gasped against my lips.
"Is that what we are calling your pussy?" I asked, putting my hands on her hips to fuck Ryder faster.
A chuckle came from my right.
"Sure, call it whatever you want as long as you make me come," she panted, reaching behind me to rub my cock over my pants.
"Keep doing that and you'll make me come in my pants," I sighed.
I kissed along her neck, moving her hips, trying to find that angle that made her scream. Ryder grunted pulling her down for a kiss, her hand left my cock, and I was grateful because I was two seconds from blowing my load in my pants.
"Mine," he growled, pushing her up so he could latch onto her breast.
Oria leaned back against me, giving me access to her hole. I gently brushed over her sensitive clit.
"Yes!"
Her hips moved faster.
"Come on his cock, Blondie," I whispered in her ear, putting more pressure on her clit.
"Be a good girl and listen, Heaven, and come on my cock," Ryder groaned.
Her cries grew louder until she stilled in my arms before small tremors ran through her body. A few more thrusts and Ryder followed. I counted to ten in my mind, pulled down my zipper freeing my cock, after I counted, I pulled her from Ryder's cock, sitting down in the bucket seat.
It was a tight squeeze, but I maneuvered her to sit facing forward as I plunged my cock into her. We cried out together. Her pussy squeezed me, she was slick from the other guys, turning me on even more. I didn't think I was going to last long. I pulled the lever so we could lean back a little, pulling her closer until our bodies were flushed. I spread her legs with my knees, thrusting up.
"Sor," she cried out, turning her head to kiss me.
"Son of bitch," Gray muttered.
I smiled, "Like what you see, brother?"
Oria was on display for him, but payback was a bitch. I was a petty motherfucker.
I wrapped an arm around her waist and grabbed her breast, rolling her nipple in between my fingers. She bucked into me, almost pushing me over the edge.
"Come on, Blondie," I grunted. "I need you to come for me."
She whined. "I can't."
"Touch yourself, Blondie," I growled, holding off my orgasm, trying to think unsexy thoughts. "I want you to bring yourself pleasure. Rub that clit and scream for your mates."
Her pussy clenched around me when she started stroking herself.
"That's it," I hummed, feeling her get closer. "You liked being used by us, you like that you make us go crazy for you."
"Yes," she whimpered.
I let my fangs lengthen, letting them drag along her neck. Her breathing hitched as she tilted her head away to give me more access and I gave her what she wanted. I sunk my teeth into her and she cried out as she fell over the edge. She tightened around me, igniting my own release as I drank her sweet blood. Once I had my fill, I licked her wound, seeing it close up quickly.
"Are you ok, Blondie?" I kissed her neck.
"Perfect," she sighed sleepily.
I cleaned her up as much as I could from the mess we had made. Max helped me get her dressed, she was barely awake as he placed her on his lap.
"I love you guys," she murmured sleepily.
I smiled, feeling her warmth in my chest.
"Love you too, Blondie."
"Love you more, Sol."
"Love you most, Sunshine."
I tensed wondering if Ryder was going to say anything.
"Love you, forever," he said, surprising me.
I leaned back in my seat enjoying the love in the air. Didn't think I'd ever be a man who said things like that, but I was glad that I got to say it with my friends and my mate.
