Three

Crow

I watch Moon come out of the building just a few minutes after the silver-haired guy. Something about him was off, and Kili has been spiraling ever since.

“He wasn’t right…” Kili hisses, and I dodge another blade he tries to chuck at me.

“Kili. It’s me…” I snap for the third time. It’s not a big deal, but it is annoying to have him attacking me every few seconds.

“Moonlight…” Kili whispers, seconds before charging her. “Who are you?!” my brother demands as he rushes right up to our Heart Bonded, he cups her face in his hands and searches her eyes for her truth.

“I’m yours,” she says gently, allowing him to scoop her up in his arms. My brother buries his face in her neck and breathes deeply. I watch her soothe him in a way no one else ever could, and it settles something in my soul. That worry I’ve always had for my brother. He’ll be okay.

She’s the calm to his storm. Which is interesting, considering she’s our Chaos Goddess. Who would have thought my brother’s perfect mate would be a woman made of pure mayhem?

Even her existence, who her father is, is chaotic.

Kili sets Moon on her feet but doesn’t move far. I look behind her, at her other men, and frown.

“Where are Cato and Odas?” I ask, and Moon blinks up at me.

“How long have you been here?” she asks, and I shrug.

“Nearly the whole time, Pixie.” I can’t help myself. I walk over and pull her into my arms. She’s trembling. Frowning, I look down at her, trying to read her troubles in the furrow of her brow.

“Cato and Odas.” She swallows hard and takes a deep breath. “Lust took them. To the Fae Queen.” Her voice breaks, and a tear slips down her cheek. That's the instant I realize just how fucking filthy they all are. Each of them is covered in layers of blood. Daire’s face is a horror show. Sweet starlight, I think someone slit his throat…

“We’ll save them, my Moonlight. As soon as you win the tournament, we’ll go save your mates,” Kili vows, still looking a little unsettled, but not as badly as before.

Moon nods her head, a sadness settling over her that I don’t like.

“Come on. There’s a little hot spring just over there where you can all clean up. Kili and I have already gathered you new supplies.” I tuck Moon under my arm, and she wraps herself around my waist, allowing me to lead her. I can’t resist pressing my nose to the crown of her head.

Unfortunately, she smells of gore and death. I wince, trying not to make a face, but yikes. Thank fuck for these hot springs.

I help her lay out everything she’s going to need to get herself cleaned. There were plenty of soaps in the supplies we found. The other men all manage to get themselves situated in their individual springs.

Once I’ve laid everything out for her, Moon just stands there, staring at the water. The look in her sapphire eyes is far away. She needs a moment to disassociate. That's okay. I can take care of her while she gets lost in her thoughts.

“Here, my mate. I’ll take care of you,” I whisper gently, as I grab the hem of her shirt and tug it up and off her shoulders.

One look at Tristan, and his necklace, lets me know we’re hidden from the cameras. I undo the button on her pants before pulling them off her hips, leaving her in just her bra and underwear. They’re dirty, and she needs to change into clean ones.

“The cameras can’t see you, but I can leave these on you if you want,” I offer, but she shakes her head, just slightly. “Okay, Pixie. Let's get these off you then.” I undo the clasp on the bra first before sliding the straps off her shoulders. When I tug the underwear down her hips, she steps out of them and waits for me to direct her.

A sense of pride fills my chest, knowing my Heart Bonded trusts me enough to give over control to me like this. I remove my clothes quickly and then help her into the pool of steaming water.

Moon hisses, but as soon as she's seated, her shoulders relax, and she lets out a long sigh.

I force myself not to look at her breasts. She’s vulnerable right now, and I will not take advantage of that fact, no matter how tempting her gorgeous body might be.

I pour some of the hair soap into the palm of my hand and then work it into her scalp. I wash the long length of it once, then rinse it before washing it again, this time making sure to pay extra attention to her moans. When she likes something I do, her lips part, and she tilts her head back a little more.

“Dip under the water, and wash your face, Moon,” I tell her, offering her the washcloth. I don’t want to get soap in her eyes, or accidentally waterboard her. She leans forward, scooping water into her hands and washing her face over and over until there’s no more blood. She dries her face off and leans back into me once again.

Her eyes are closed now as I rinse the rest of the soap away. Then I uncap the oil and work some of it into the soft waves of her purple hair. Once I finish, I grab the body soap and begin by washing her arms and then her back. I lift each leg out of the water, washing them. I even wash between each of her cute little toes.

“Clean your breasts, Moon,” I say softly, placing the soap into her hand. She blinks up at me, pausing for only a moment. When she climbs onto my lap, straddling my hips, I hold my breath.

When she lifts herself out of the water, just enough to expose her breasts to the cool air, my eyes move on their own. I’m enchanted by her every movement as she drags the bar of soap around one breast and over the nipple before switching to the other.

“Fuck me, Crow,” Moon whispers in my ear as she leans forward, her soapy chest rubbing against mine. I harshly exhale the breath I had been holding before reaching up to tug Moon back.

“Moon…” I whisper, ready to tell her no…that I couldn’t take advantage of her, not when she’s like this…but then her hands are diving below the surface to wrap around my cock. “Fuck,” I gasp. Moon’s lips press against mine, and I’m powerless to resist her.

I push my hands into her hair, kissing her back with just as much pent-up need. Fuck, she feels so good.

“So big,” she mumbles against my lips as she jerks my cock with both hands. I’m about to tell her I’ll come if she keeps that up when she rocks her hips forward and lines us up.

My cock pushes into her, and she rolls her hips, drawing back, only to push herself down onto me a little more with each movement. My head falls back as she sinks her fangs into my throat and drinks. Those are new. I see our little goddess figured out how to bite.

“Fuck, Moon,” I moan, as she rocks her hips faster and harder. The water splashes around us, and I can’t take her achingly slow pace any longer, so I grab her hips and stand.

I lay Moon down on the ground at the edge of the hot spring. Still standing in the water, I thrust into her, making her cry out.

I had forgotten we weren’t alone. The other men are watching Moon like she’s the center of our universe. I slow my thrusts, savoring the feel of my cock sliding into her. Each man has his cock in his hand, and they stroke in time with my movements. Moon’s back arches, one hand pushed into her hair as the other slides down her wet body so she can tease her clit.

I pull out quickly and drop to my knees in the water. I don’t make her wait and thrust two fingers into her slick pussy, curling them, so I can rub her g-spot. Moon cries out, moaning my name as I lick her clit like I’m on death row, and she’s my final meal.

I find her sweet spot, licking and sucking her clit until her pussy is pulsing around my fingers. I wait until she’s done coming before I replace my digits with my throbbing cock. The second I bottom out inside her, Moon screams out my name once more.

“Oh, Crow, yes, harder, please I need you!” she begs. I give my mate what she needs and slam inside of her, only pulling out a few inches with each thrust, so every movement rubs against her g-spot.

“Took you long enough,” I chuckle when Kili finally pounces. He latches onto Moon’s nipple, sucking hard, making her cry out louder now.

“Yes, yes, oh, fuck!” Moon is a writhing, moaning, beautiful mess. “More,” she begs, but it’s too late for me. I’m coming inside my mate, her pussy pulsing around my cock as I find my release.

“Good thing you have six other men here just for you, Pixie,” I tease, leaning forward to press a kiss to her head as I pull my spent cock free.

War

Once they exited the trial, I stayed close. My curiosity is too great to walk away. The further I got from Moon, the worse my mind became. I could feel her influence…

Now, I stand hidden in the shadows as I watch Moon and her blond-haired male…thrust and rub together. I don’t understand the way my body responds as I watch her. She is beautiful.

She makes these noises, crying out the male’s name. I don’t understand why I want to hear her say my name like that.

What would my true name sound like on her lips?

I can never let this woman out of my sight ever again. I will follow her until the universe dies.
