ADRIANNA

" I don't think I'll ever tire of this view." A sigh falls from my lips, cementing the truth as I stare out at the dragons swooping through the air in the distance. Kryll's balcony offers a snippet of Heaven, and I'm quickly getting addicted.

"Me either," my dragon muses, and just like last time, when I turn to peer at him, his sights are set on me and not the view I'm admiring.

Rolling my eyes at him, I turn back to watch the City of Dragons. "Don't smart talk me," I grumble, unable to keep the lilt out of my voice and the smile from my lips.

"Me? Never." I feel him inch closer, and the second he drapes his arm around my shoulders, I lean into his touch. "What are you thinking about?"

"That obvious, huh?" I glance up at him, and the smile on his face confirms I've been quiet for a while.

"Just a little."

"I don't even know how long I've been standing here," I admit, resting my head on his chest as I continue to stare at the floating city below.

"Long enough. Now, what's running through your pretty head?"

I exhale as a small shrug tugs at my shoulders. "Just about how everything here feels different. Untainted, not drenched in carnage, and somewhat peaceful."

"I can agree with that."

I look at him again, noting the crinkle at the corner of his eyes, and something about it grounds me. Back in Floodborn, deep in the City of Harrows, there's a lot going on. It's more than just Kenner's vendetta against me, or whatever the fuck it is, and more than the damn academy. It's the scheming from the entire council and the frenzied vampires wreaking havoc on our people.

Here, it's just… tranquil.

I purse my lips, irritated at myself. I'm supposed to be enjoying the tranquility I speak of before I face the mess that awaits us, but instead, I can't help but worry about it, constantly seeking a solution that's just out of reach.

"Where are the others?" I ask, eager to distract myself, and Kryll scoffs.

"Off threatened by my monster dick somewhere," he states, a cock-sure grin spreading across his face, and I shake my head, patting the back of my hand on his chest.

"Stop," I warn, but it doesn't seem to register because a moment later, he drops his lips to my neck, skimming them against my skin as he leaves goosebumps in his wake.

"You don't need to be thinking about anyone else but you right now. Not your men, not your family, not the other students at the academy, not the people of Floodborn Kingdom, and definitely not the members of The Council. You just have to think about you," he explains, his lips dancing over my collarbone before he retreats, lathering the same attention to my other side as I sigh, leaning into him more.

It's on the tip of my tongue that him listing out all of my responsibilities only brings them to the forefront of my mind, but just as my lips part, he nips his teeth along my flesh, making me shudder. The world is forgotten as I feel his fingers in my hair, my jaw falling slack as he undoes my braid, one sweep at a time.

I'm frozen in place, feeling each strand of hair fall around my face until he's laced his fingers through the entire thing. With his hands pressed against my shoulders, he turns me on the spot so we're facing, and I melt under his intense gaze.

"You're beautiful, Addi. So fucking beautiful." His words are almost swept away into the wind, making me strain to hear them as I ball my fingers into his t-shirt, clinging on for dear life. "And I know, one day, you're going to look even prettier without the weight of the world on your shoulders and a sparkly crown on your head."

I can barely breathe, let alone summon a response, as his words threaten to lift me off my feet and cast me over the balcony. He surprises me, time and time again, and all he gets in response is me staring up at him in awe.

"K—"

He presses his finger against my lips, hushing his name from parting my them after I worked so hard to remember how to talk, but any argument on my part dissolves at his next words. "So, for today, I'm going to give you a slice of what that looks like."

I gulp. "And what does that involve?" I rasp, his finger still firmly planted against my lips as his eyes darken and his gaze fixates on my mouth.

"Whatever you want."

I gulp again, but it does nothing to aid my dry throat or parched lips, yet the words find their way to my tongue nonetheless.

"I want to sink into nothingness." I don't know what it means, but the twinkle in his eyes tells me he does.

"I can help you with that, Princess." He cups my cheek, switching his finger to his thumb against my lips as a ridiculously sexy grin spreads across his cheeks. "Maybe this time I'll do it out here where anyone could see, just like I wanted to last time."

Fuck.

The shiver that spirals down my spine leaves my knees weak, only serving to make his grin spread wider.

"You like that."

"Maybe," I rasp, my knuckles burning, my grip on him is so tight.

"Definitely, maybe," he retorts, leaning closer until his lips are only a breath away from mine. Only his thumb stands in the way, but he seems to like teasing me and holds it as a barrier between us as he speaks. "Especially since Cassian got you started this morning."

I hum in agreement, my thighs tightening at the reminder of the wolf between them. It feels like a lifetime ago, but I guess that's the case when drama continues to drown me. As much as I'm thankful to be here, I can't even walk to a professor's office without something else popping up.

It seems my side quests in life are in full movement, and all I can do is succumb to it.

Before my mind can wander any further, Kryll presses his lips to my cheek in a ghost of a kiss as he lets my cloak gather at my feet. His hands move to the hem of my t-shirt, and I reluctantly release my hold on him to raise my hands over my head, aiding the removal of the fabric.

"Do not even think about fucking her in the open."

We both freeze at the bark before I peer around Kryll's frame to find Cassian, Raiden, and Brody standing at the drapes that separate the balcony from Kryll's room.

"What?" Kryll's gruff question echoes my own thoughts as I narrow my gaze on the wolf who not-so-politely interrupted us.

"You've had me in more compromising positions," I point out, but that doesn't seem to matter to him.

"Right now, you're just for our eyes only," Raiden states, backing up his friend as I feel my cheeks heat.

"Oh, she likes that," Brody says with a snicker as he rubs his hands together. "Say it again."

I part my lips to argue back, but my grumble turns into a squeak when Kryll sweeps me off my feet. It only takes a few steps before the lighting changes, and the noise from outside drifts into nothing, confirming we're in the confines of his room.

"Looks like you've got yourself a fully participating audience right here, Princess," Kryll breathes against my ear as he lowers me to my feet. He turns me on the spot to face the three new arrivals, and I have to sink my teeth into my bottom lip to hold back the groan threatening to unleash itself.

"We're no fucking audience, Troublemaker. You've got yourself four fully-pledged volunteers. What are you going to do about it?" Raiden's eyes are deadly, rendering me speechless as my body tingles with excitement.

Four participants. Four ?

Can I handle that? I don't know, but my body is screaming for me to try.

"I think someone needs a moment to stop dominating the kingdom and relish in what it feels like to submit to their body's desires." Brody's words make my eyes widen as I gape at him. My chest clenches with a sense of truth in his words. Thankfully, instead of needing to find a response, Brody takes an answer from my silence. "Just nod once if you want to feel, Dagger. Just one little nod, and we'll do all of the thinking."

Can I do that? Give up control, offer no restraint, and just… feel?

"Trust us, Adrianna. Trust us to take care of you."

I blink at Raiden, his eyes practically black as they rake over me again and again. An encouraging nod from Cassian, combined with Kryll's hands on my waist, and I do something I never thought I would.

I trust.

One nod.

One blink.

One inhale.

And they all bounce into action.

Kryll lifts me off my feet, dangling me in the air as Brody steps up and strips me bare. Every trace of his fingers against my skin is another mark on my heart, surging my desire to the surface before I'm placed on the bed.

Four sets of eyes stare down at me, taking in my naked body as I struggle to catch my breath. Anticipation clings to my limbs, holding me captive as I wait for their next move.

Raiden is the first to cut the distance between us, shedding his clothes in record time as he kneels on the bed before me. He reaches for my ankle, pressing a delicate kiss to the inside of my leg before he trails his lips up to my knee. He repeats the process on the other side, only this time, he makes it right to the apex of my thighs. Teasingly, he stops just a breath away before returning to the other knee and starting the process again.

I'm a smitten mess by the time he's back at my core, watching with bated breath for him to touch me exactly where I want him, but the second his gaze collides with mine, I know he's up to something.

Just as his tongue flicks over my clit, his hands grab my hips and spin me. I grunt as I land on my front while he works my waist into position so my ass is in the air. The feel of him raking his elongated teeth over the globe of my ass makes me shiver, but his words that follow completely eviscerate me.

"This ass is mine."

"It is?" Brody questions, a hint of excitement in his words, but I can't see him to be sure.

"It is," Raiden repeats as he thrusts two fingers into my pussy. "It definitely is; she's already fucking dripping, aren't you, Trouble?"

All I can do is gasp, ecstasy and exhilaration coursing through my bones as he fucks me with his fingers.

"If her ass is yours, then her pussy is mine," the mage snaps back, and I feel the bed dip further a moment later.

Just as Raiden did, Brody appears by my side, naked, as he maneuvers me how he wants me, all while keeping my ass in the air for Raiden. Once he's settled, I find him nestled beneath me, every inch of his body pressing against mine as he peers up at me with a sultry grin.

"Hey, Dagger," he breathes, stroking his thumb down my cheek as another groan bursts from my chest.

"Hey," I croak before slamming my mouth shut in case I drool all over him. My nipples pebble against his chest as he coasts his other hand down my side, settling at my waist just above Raiden's grip.

It reminds me of the night I was curled up in his bed and Raiden showed up. They both touched me then too, but this… this is different.

"You're going nowhere near her pussy until my fingers are dripping with her release, asshole," Raiden barks from behind me, but his order doesn't seem to make Brody falter. If anything, he likes it more than me, and it's my climax we're talking about.

"Come for him, Addi. Start marking us all as yours, right now," he breathes, encouraging his friend's efforts.

My palms dig deeper into the sheets as I struggle to hold my position. Raiden's fingers plunge and twist, taking me to the brink with precision until I'm nothing more than a trembling mess.

"Something is holding her back," Cassian states, and when I try to turn toward the sound of his voice, Brody stops me, capturing my lips with his as he consumes me.

Every brush of his mouth makes my brain short circuit, my mind and body acutely aware that his lips are on mine and Raiden's fingers are deep inside of me.

Fuck.

"Give it up, Princess," Kryll whispers, heating my skin, and at his command, I shatter.

My body becomes a million pieces, floating through the air as Brody swallows each of my cries, which slowly morph into whimpers.

No sooner does my pussy finally stop spasming, does the mage in question replace the vampire's fingers in my core with his cock. This time, he releases my lips, eager to hear my moans as he fills me to the brim.

"Holy shit," I rasp, adjusting to Brody inside of me while, at the same time, I feel Raiden teasing my other hole. My body tenses initially, but there are hands everywhere, touching every part of my body in soothing strokes, and it makes my limbs relax.

I trust them, that's what I offered with that one single nod, and I'm sticking by it.

"That's it, Addi, rock back on him. We've got you," Brody murmurs, whispering his lips over mine before he tilts my head to the right. "Now be a good little alpha for your wolf and suck his cock," he adds as Cassian appears stripped bare with his cock aimed in my direction.

"Fuck." One grunted word from the wolf in question as I let my jaw fall slack, inviting him closer. The weight of his cock on my tongue distracts from the foreign tingles that race down my spine as Raiden slips a finger into my ass. He twists, the touch so explosive that the cry from my lips burns in my chest.

Brody starts to move, his hips flexing in tandem with Cassian's as they set my body alight. Raiden's intrusion is now two fingers, scissoring me wider as perspiration clings to every inch of me.

"So fucking beautiful, Addi," Kryll states, his praise washing over me in the heated moment like a safety blanket, promising me their intentions.

"It's time, Adrianna. Tell me you're ready," Raiden rasps, but Cassian doesn't attempt to relent with his cock in my mouth for me to form a single word. Instead, they're a garbled mess around his length, and when I glare up at him, he only fucks my mouth harder. "I guess just a nod will do," Raiden grumbles, and I manage to spy him out of the corner of my eye.

I nod, nervous but desperate, as he takes my signal and lines his cock with my back entrance. I panic at the initial intrusion, struggling to breathe, when Kryll sweeps a hand through my hair, brushing the loose locks off my face.

"Push back on him again, Princess. Make him yours," he encourages as Brody's thrusts relent enough for Raiden to continue his exploration.

My breath stutters at the back of my throat, lodged in place by Cassian's cock, as Raiden finds himself fully seated in my ass. My body is on fire, my mind obliterated, and my soul is the most content it's ever felt.

It's too much and not enough all at once.

I need more.

Now.

Retreating from him, my toes curl at the sensation before I push back once again, hinting that I want him to move, and it seems to do the trick because his grip on my waist tightens in the next breath as he does just that.

He works in tandem with Brody. As one enters, the other retreats, making it impossible for me to do anything other than feel. Cassian's cock hits the back of my throat on repeat, the occasional gag reflex kicking into action as I try my best to relax my throat.

"That's it, Dagger, take us. Fucking take us," Brody chokes, his hold on my waist growing tighter as he peppers kisses along my chest or whatever inch of my skin he can get his lips on.

"She needs a hand for Kryll. We can't come without him," Cassian grunts, twisting his fingers into my hair as he nudges my head back, fucking my throat.

I sense movement, but I can't be sure; the only confirmation I have is Kryll appearing beside Cassian a moment later with his hard cock on display, and my heart lurches in my chest.

Taking all four of them seems impossible now, but I need to feel all of them at once. The tingles of my orgasm firing across my skin confirms it.

"What in the monster dick is that?" Brody snaps, earning a chuckle from Kryll, who winks down at me, but my vision blurs with watery eyes at the unrelenting force of Cassian's cock.

Blindly reaching out a hand, I almost lose my balance, but Brody keeps me in place as my fingers wrap around Kryll's cock.

My heart settles, feeling all four of them at once. Thankfully, Kryll takes control, as promised, fucking my hand as I all but float between them.

"That's it, Adrianna. Come for us. The second you do, we're all going to tumble after you," Raiden breathes against my ear as he leans forward, plastering himself along my back as he continues to thrust into my ass. "You're so perfect, Troublemaker. So damn perfect, I swear," he adds, raking his teeth over my shoulder blade.

The combination of the four of them together takes it out of my hands as I combust. The ripple starts in my toes, racing up my legs and dancing through my fingertips before I shatter over Brody's cock.

Wave after wave crashes over me. I'm on the verge of passing the fuck out. It feels so damn good, but through the sex-induced haze, I can feel Brody's thrusts stutter before he finds his release in my core. Raiden is a step behind him, his roar of ecstasy ringing in my ears as he continues to whisper sweet-nothings in my ear.

I'm prepared for the salty taste of cum on my tongue from Cassian as his thrusts become short and his moans dark and edgy, but at the last second, he pulls out, coating my exposed skin with his release.

"Paint her with me, Kryll," Cassian snarls, breathless, before I feel Kryll's cock tense beneath my touch. His release merges with Cassian's as my body goes limp, unable to withstand anything more.

I'm spent.

I'm worn.

I'm content.
