48. Medusa

I was snuggling with Pax and Dionysus while I caught my breath. Benji and Cas joined us, and it was perfect. But eventually, I was going to get up and want them, too. It was just that kind of night. I wanted more nights like this.

“Can you feel it?” Pax asked. “The air is different. Everyone has hope for the first time. We don’t have to worry about leaving the village and ending up getting tortured at a Coalition facility. Gabriel’s message would have been seen by everyone and Yahweh is stuck here until all those sigils are destroyed. Everyone knows all the gods are real now. Change is coming.”

It was. I could feel it on my skin. We were all created by belief, but once we were here, we became our own beasts. All the gods I knew were different from their stories and didn’t agree with some of the opinions everyone thought they had.

They could clear those up now and they knew how to do it right this time. I’d been alive the last time the gods meddled in our affairs, and they fucked it up royally. The ones that were still here were the good ones. There were a few I could think of that absolutely never needed to come back to this realm, but I doubted they would.

I shifted in the cuddle pile. My body was a little wrung out, but my magic was still humming from being in the garden. I was ready to get destroyed between Benji and Cas. Cas was giant, Benji was feral, and they were both shifters. Sometimes, a girl just needed to be railed like that.

Cas was always nice and respectful unless his polar bear took over. When he felt me shift, he knew it was game on. He playfully put his foot against Dionysus’s back and kicked him off the mattress. Dionysus just laughed and rolled onto the grass. Pax was next to Benji and got up before Benji made him.

“ Mine,” Cas growled, picking me up and placing me on top of him.

Swoon. I loved it when he got growly and possessive, especially when we were both naked. Benji crawled up behind me and started kissing my neck.

“Ours,” he said.

Yeah, Benji had a little wolf scratching at the surface, and I wasn’t complaining about that at all. I pushed back a little so I could grip Cas and impale myself on his cock. Cas was long, thick, and felt amazing inside me. But I wasn’t actually finished yet. I leaned forward and pressed myself against Cas so I could kiss him. Then, I shot Benji a look over my shoulder.

“I need you now.”

It was urgent. I didn’t know why, it just was. It was almost like the night they claimed me and sealed our bond. I just needed to feel them. What we’d just done was dangerous. Those knives could have killed any of us. All that ambrosia was the only reason I’d been able to shield everyone for as long as I did. Jeqon could have done a lot worse to Benji than shave a little piece of shadow off if he’d gone solid at the wrong time.

I needed to touch them to know they were alive and okay. Benji’s mom even knew how to put his shadow back. She made him do it during the party because she said it was part of his soul. And probably because they’d been reunited long enough to know that shadow was probably going to wreak havoc on everyone without Benji to control it.

Benji gripped my hip and guided himself into my ass. I loved this feeling. There was a pleasant pressure, and I was completely stuffed, but I got to be close to two of them at the same time.

Benji and Cas were young compared to me. They were young compared to a lot of supernaturals, but they weren’t so young that they didn’t know their way around men or women’s bodies. Benji and Cas knew what little triggers were left over from Poseidon, but they knew exactly what I wanted right now.

I wanted it wild and a little feral, but I also needed to feel like I was in total control. They gave me exactly that. They scratched, bit, and pulled my hair exactly how I wanted, but I never felt pinned down. It was exactly what I needed and wanted after everything.

“Say it, Cas,” Benji grunted.

“Come for me, my mates.”

Yeah, that was pretty much guaranteed to make me lose my shit. Benji, too, apparently. I wasn’t mad we had that in common. I cried out as I came. My body was super sensitive, and a little overstimulated, but it still hit me pretty hard. Benji threw back his head and howled when his hit and Cas bit me again.

It was perfect. I needed more of this and less of my entire past. Fate had to be done with fucking with me at this point, right?
