I follow his gaze, finding Brenden looking up at me. His eyes are still hazy, and it’s clear he’s not really here with us. I fucking hate it.

“It doesn’t matter what he wants. I won’t let him die. That’s something else you need to be aware of. He might hate both of us for this, but I’m selfish and willing to make this decision if it means keeping him here with me.”

I stare at Brenden for another moment before slowly pulling off his clothes and then mine. I turn back to Nex to find him licking his lips as his eyes rove over both of us.

“This isn’t going to be like it was the night we were together. I’ve had zero desire to have sex since we discovered that you’d walked out on us. I don’t know if I even can, but no matter what, this has to happen. You do whatever you have to do to make it work, but I also don’t want you touching Brenden. It’s my understanding that you don’t need to touch him to bond with him. You should be able to bond with him while I fuck him and you fuck me. Is that correct?”

Nex nods. “Yes. I’ll be able to send my incubus magic into him as he comes—even if it’s not because of me. But he will have to come. If he’s not responsive, are you sure he’ll be able to perform? I can use my magic to help him along if I need to.”

I’m glad to hear that I’m right. I know I’m already violating Brenden by having Nex bondwith him without consent, but I refuse to allow anything more than that to happen when he’s not in his right mind. That’s a decision he’ll have to make on his own.

I scoff, reaching over, wrapping my hand around Brenden’s soft cock, and stroking him. Within seconds, he’s hard as a rock. “That won’t be a problem. There’s lube in the bedside table. You’ll need it.”

“I’ll grab it, but I’d like to at least make sure you enjoy it, Audrey. I know this is a means to an end, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy yourself.” I hear him move behind me, grabbing the lube before climbing onto the bed.

“As long as it doesn’t involve you touching Brenden, you can do whatever you want to me. I make no guarantees that it’ll help anything, though.”

I’m not holding out hope for much of anything during this encounter. It would be nice to feel good, but is it even possible with the amount of anguish inside of me? It’s better to have low expectations.

Nex frowns, and I can tell he doesn’t want it to be like this just from the look on his face, but that’s too fucking bad. He sets the lube onto the bed, crawling up until he’s hovering overme—careful not to touch Brenden in any way, which I appreciate.

“I’m going to kiss you now,” he tells me, pausing to see how I’ll respond, but when I just lie there, he leans down and brushes his lips across mine.

A spark of electricity sparks where our lips touch, shifting out into my body and shocking me. No, not literally.

When he pulls back, I can’t help chasing his lips and the sensation. It’s the most I’ve felt in days. I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him into another kiss. I must pull harder than I thought because Nex ends up splayed across me, lighting up my body in every spot we touch.

Okay, maybe bonding with him won’t be so bad after all.

My body practically vibrates as desire rushes through me. I kiss him desperately, wanting oh so much more of this feeling.

Should I feel bad that I’m now desperate to have sex with a man that I kind of hate? Even if he is my mate?

Fuck it. I honestly don’t care.

Nex finally breaks free of my hold, breathing heavily as he stares down at me. “Audrey?”

“It feels good. Don’t stop.” I try to drag him down for another kiss, but he shakes his head and starts to pull away. A whine spills from me as I reach for him again. I told him I don’t want him to stop, so why is he stopping?

“I’ve got you, Audrey. Let me take care of you.” Nex slips down my body until he’s kneeling between my legs.

I lick my lips as he lowers himself further, his hands gripping my thighs and pulling them apart. My back arches when his hot breath brushes along my pussy. It’s like I’m feeling everything tenfold after feeling nothing. Each little touch is erotic and sends me closer to the edge before he’s even really touched me.

My hands drift down to sink into his hair as he licks from ass to clit before sinking his tongue into my wet cunt and fucking me with it. His magic rises, rushing through me as his nose brushes my clit, and I’m already done for.

I scream out my orgasm as Nex continues to fuck me with his tongue. My body undulates beneath him, another orgasm already building as my magic rises to tangle with his. When he lifts his head, his beard is glistening as he smirks.

“One more, gorgeous. I want you to come on my fingers. Then, you’ll ride Brenden while I fuck this gorgeous ass of yours. How does that sound?”

I shiver at the picture he paints in my mind, and all I want to do is make it a reality. “Then you best get to it.”

I didn’t say I was going to make this easy for him, did I?

Nex seems to take this as a challenge, his fingers pushing inside of me with a bit of a pinch. Then his mouth is closing over my clit and my eyes fall shut once more. With each thrust of his fingers, they unerringly find my G-spot. Before too long, I’m riding his fingers as moan after moan spills from me.

“Almost there,” I pant. “Please, Nex. Please.”

He adjusts his hold on my hips, and his fingers seem to hit me differently as another wave of his magic washes through me. I buck against him as my back comes off the bed, a silent scream on my lips as I come harder than I had the first time.
