Chapter 47

Lillian

"Ida is meeting us at the lake. She said she found something to help you," Keir told me as the driver pulled away from the building.

Keir sat in his seat along the back while I sat to one side, Nicholas and Aiden on the other. I was getting used to limos, the luxury of seeing everyone and moving around.

I wiped my sweaty hands on my thighs. I was wearing the wetsuit Keir had a tailor make for me. It was black like the other outfit, but this one was insulated. It was covered in more swirling purple designs to help hide the outline of the dagger he helped me hide this morning. It felt like a second skin, soft against my body.

"Hey, try to relax, baby."

I gave Nicholas my best attempt at a smile, but my heart was pounding loudly in my ears.

Princess… Keir's voice entered my head.

I looked at him, finding his eyes darkening. He looked like a monster who craved my flesh. The night he took me to the portal, when he licked my blood from my palm, flashed through my mind. The act had filled me with an unexpected thrill. Watching my blood smear on his lips, knowing he was tasting me in a way no one ever had before, made me drunk with lust.

I'll do it again if you want me to.

I sucked in a breath, trying my best to keep it quiet, even though I knew there would be no judgment from the twins. It felt like a secret, one I wanted to keep between us for now.

I've not stopped thinking about how your blood tasted on my tongue. The way your eyes rolled back into your head and you moaned my name. The way you looked at me like I was your god.

I closed my eyes, trying hard to focus on his words while remaining calm and collected.

A hand found my lap, and I jumped. I heard Nicholas's voice ask me something, though it was muffled and far away. Maybe asking if I was okay?

I nodded, but my attention was on Keir's voice.

Come here, princess. I'll help you relax, and together, we'll give my brothers the show of their lives.

Without hesitation, I started to get out of my seat, ready to go to my shadow prince waiting for me with hungry eyes.

Crawl .

I could see the twins watching me, but that didn't make a difference as I sank to my knees, eyes on the man with a strong, undeniable hold over me.

No one spoke, but I knew all eyes were on me as I crawled the short distance to him. I stopped just short of the seat, placing myself between his knees and sitting back on my heels, waiting for his next command like I was his pet.

"Satan's sake…" I heard Aiden mutter, the strain of desire in his voice.

"Damn…" his twin said at the same time, a similar tone in his words.

Keir's gaze was so knee-weakening, I had to look away. My break from his intensity didn't last long, though, because he tucked a finger under my chin, forcing me to look back at him.

"I like it much better when you look at me," he said in a low voice. "You need all your energy, but I do want to help you relax, princess. This is your only chance to say no, because once I start, I don't want to hear you say a thing." He paused, licking across his bottom lip in a way that made me want it in my mouth instead. "Tell me if you want this, Lillian."

I swallowed so hard, it was audible. I heard more curses muttered behind me, but the only thing that had my attention was Keir. He stared me down with an unwavering, carnal expression. He knew what he was doing to me, knew my needs better than I did.

"Answer him, baby."

Keir looked pleased at Nicholas's interjection, knowing the twins were more than happy to enjoy the sinful plans their older brother had.

"I want it," I said boldly.

His smirk grew into a devious smile. "Good girl." His words sent shivers down my spine. "Sit on my lap." He patted his leg.

I was internally screaming as I stood and started to straddle him.

"Not like that." Keir grabbed my waist and made me turn so I was facing the twins, who were drinking in the sight, and pulled my ass down against his hard length. I instantly wished the barrier of our clothes would disappear.

"Keir, I—"

He clapped his hand over my mouth, pulling my back against his chest. "I said I didn't want to hear you. Understood?"

I nodded my head, and he released me. One of his hands moved to the zipper at my neck, pulling it down my chest, my breasts popping free of the tight, built-in bra. His other hand wrapped in my hair, tugging my head to the side.

"Watch them." His voice was deep and gravelly.

The twins were looking at me with glowing, hunger-filled eyes, as though they were waiting for Keir to give the order for them to join in on the fun.

I gasped when Keir kissed my exposed neck. The zipper was just under my belly button, with only a few more inches to go. His hand in my hair tightened, making me hiss, but the pain gave me undeniable pleasure I felt no shame for. I started to squeeze my thighs together, but he gave my hair another yank, stopping me.

"Put your legs outside of mine," he instructed. "You will not close them until I am finished with you, princess."

I followed his directions silently, swinging my legs over his so my knees were spread wide. He made a noise of approval, the growl vibrating in his chest.

"Fucking hell," Aiden said as he rubbed his hand over his cock.

Nicholas was smiling, enjoying the show more than anyone, loving getting to watch me be vulnerable.

Another yank of my hair had me squirming against Keir, the pain making my pussy beg for attention. He released the zipper where it had stopped just above the area screaming for his attention.

"Do you see how they look at you?" he whispered in my ear, pulling my head back so I had to look down to see the twins. "They're like wolves waiting to attack their prey."

The thought that I was their prey made my thighs tense, but Keir's legs held me open. My heart raced as I made eye contact with each twin again, the tension skirting on the edge of unbearable. My skin felt hot; my chest felt like a balloon about to pop. I was practically shaking before these men, their stares alone doing unspeakable things to me.

I fought the urge to beg Keir for relief, but staying silent was hard. I wanted him to touch me, anywhere, everywhere. Just before I opened my mouth to break the rule, his free hand landed on my stomach, flattening against my skin. His touch moved down, and he tucked his hand under the front of the suit. He licked the area at the base of my neck before nipping me, making me moan.

The twins growled in their seats, no doubt wanting to pounce on me in that moment, knowing I was easily accessible this whole time.

Keir dipped a finger against my clit, making my body buck against him, but the way his arm was slung across my hip held me tight as he circled me once more.

"Fuck…" I said under my breath.

I knew in a second I'd made a mistake. It had slipped out, and I almost started defending myself, but I kept my mouth shut. I knew I would only make it worse for myself.

Keir's hand stopped moving against me. "You just can't fucking stay quiet, can you?" he purred into my ear, his grip on my hair keeping me from trying to look at him.

The twins looked delighted, eager to see what my consequence would be. I should have been angry that they found excitement in my disobedience, but the truth was quite the opposite. Even I found a tiny part of myself aroused by the thought of Keir's punishment.

"You are so fucking lucky I can't bend you over and spank your ass right here. I'd hate for you to be in pain when you're diving." He kissed the sensitive area where my neck met my shoulders and chuckled darkly. The laugh made my hair stand on end. "Scream for me, princess," was the only warning I had before he pulled my hair so hard, my head was wrenched back even further, and he resumed circling my clit with painful pressure.

"Keir!" I screamed his name like I was shocked, or maybe angry, but the fire in my stomach was building already, making me a filthy liar.

"Just. Like. That," he praised between kisses he gave my neck. "If you can't be quiet, you'll be loud."

He continued kissing my neck and circling my clit, making me moan again. My legs fought his, trying to close, but he refused to let that happen. He spread his legs further, forcing mine open enough to create a burning sensation in my hips, and I cried out.

"Maybe next time when I say don't speak, you'll listen," he chastised me as he slipped his hand down further, shoving two fingers inside me while he pressed his palm to my clit. I moved against him, eager to get over the crest and find relief. "Look at you, so desperate to come on my fingers. I bet you'd do anything for the release, wouldn't you, princess?"

I tried to respond, but it came out a garbled mess instead of anything intelligible. The fire in my stomach was blazing now, threatening to overtake my body and leave me nothing but ash. Knowing I was being watched made it worse.

"Are you going to come on his fingers, little one?" Aiden's voice managed to reach me in the ocean I was lost to. "I want you to beg before you come."

"Hail Satan, Aiden," Nicholas groaned from his seat.

Keir tensed beneath me, and his thoughts raced. He wasn't expecting the twins to jump in like that, taking possession of his toy.

I continued to move against his hand, ready to find my release and relax in his arms. I wanted to scream his name, the twins' names too, as I drowned in them.

His grip on my hair tightened even more, and I swear I heard a few strands of hair pull loose from my scalp. He put his mouth against my ear and very quietly muttered, "They are lucky I didn't get to you first, princess. They're lucky I'm willing to share my toy with them. You belong to me in a way you'll never belong to them. Have your fun, but know it all belongs to me ."

His possessiveness had my body shaking as the orgasm of my fucking life ignited, ready to capture me in its flames.

"Can… I… come?" I managed to get out, unsure if it was even understandable with all the moans leaving my mouth unchecked.

"What do you think, Nicholas?" Aiden taunted me cruelly, knowing I couldn't hold it much longer.

"I don't know," Nicholas said in a singsong voice.

Assholes .

Keir chuckled, enjoying the way his brothers loved torturing me. He added a third finger, nearly driving me over the edge without the permission I was supposed to wait for.

"Fuck…" I pushed against him, trying to put space between his hand and my pussy, as if that was possible. "Please. Fuck. Please can I come? I can't hold it."

"You can come in three…" Aiden started, and I groaned. I was ready to explode. "Two…" I tensed up as the orgasm hit me one second too early. "One…"

Keir continued to thrust his fingers into me without a single word, drawing out every ounce of pleasure one orgasm possibly had to offer. My legs stayed glued to his, threatening to close without his prying them open.

"I won't tell, princess," he whispered in my ear as I came down off the high he'd provided. "Your secret is safe with me." I shuddered as he let go of my hair, pulling his fingers out of me at the same time.

He zipped my wetsuit up with his clean hand then brought the hand covered with me to his mouth. I watched as he licked each finger clean while he stared me down, like that was just the fucking appetizer and he was starving for the main course.

When he finished, I looked back at the twins, both still watching me with their older brother, eager for their turn.

"I hope you're relaxed now, princess." He moved my legs so they were once again within his and massaged my thighs. I nearly moaned from that alone. "Does that feel good?" I nodded, and he kept going with a satisfied smile.

The car came to a halt, and a knock sounded against the window, making me jump. Keir rolled the window down to reveal Ida, who looked utterly exhausted.

"She will only have twenty minutes," she said as she placed something in his hand. "She can't swallow it until she's ready. It was the best he could do on such short notice."

"We'll make it work," Keir told her, giving her a nod of thanks before rolling the window back up.

"I knew she'd come through," Nicholas said with relief, Aiden agreeing with him.

Keir picked me up and put me in the seat beside him. He opened his hand to show me what she'd given him. It was a tiny green pill, no bigger than my pinky nail.

"What's it for?"

"It will let you breathe underwater," Keir explained. "But only for twenty minutes, so you can't take it until you are absolutely ready to go, okay?" I nodded. "We are going to hide it here," he said as he tucked the pill into a tiny pocket above my heart.

I looked them all in the eye, the mood having switched from sensual to serious, and smiled. "I got this."

"You do," Aiden responded at the same time as Nicholas said, "Of course."

Keir squeezed my hands. "We will be watching. I highly doubt he will let us go out onto the lake with you, but we will be timing it. I don't care who I have to go through. If you're down there for too long, I'm coming for you."

I wrapped my arms around him, holding him tightly, forcing my tears back, not wanting to let him go. When I finally pulled away, the twins had made their way outside the limo. Nicholas helped me out of the car with a hug and kiss. Aiden did the same.

"Let's get this over with," I gritted out, taking a big breath to hype myself up. I stood straight, trying to appear taller than I really was, summoning all the confidence my body could offer.

When I took my first step toward the crowd, the lake beyond them, I knew my men were behind me, and I knew that no matter what, things were going to work out.

They had to.
