Kane moves forward, touching my arm with quiet reverence. His touch is like fire, and I feel all my nerve endings scream with pleasure. I pant as wetness pools between my legs, and suddenly, the fear evaporates. Now all I want is their touch.

More than that, I want them to take me right here.

I’ve never wanted anything more. At this moment, all I can think about is having one of them inside me and having all of their hands all over me. I need that sweet release.

My pulse thunders in my ears as I try to maintain control over my body. I’m not usually like this. If anything, sex with Justin felt kind of like a chore. But here, it’s as if my body is all in before my brain can even catch up.

More than that, I’ve thrown all caution to the wind. Just moments ago, I was terrified of these men. Suddenly, my fear turns into pure lust.

“What is happening to me?” I ask, my voice trembling. But even as I ask, my body writhes beneath Kane, arching against his erection. I want him inside me.

“You are going into heat soon,” Finn says. “It’s perfectly normal for you to crave us.”

“You still have time before that happens,” Jace adds, brushing his fingertips down my arm in a delicate stroke. My pussy pulses and fills with a strange liquid.

“I’m so wet. What’s going on?”

“It’s called ‘slick,’” explains Kane calmly.

With every word they speak and every soft touch, I can feel the panic ebbing away. I can’t completely make sense of what they’re saying, but at the same time, it feels right.

The sensations are more powerful now. Every touch feels like lightning coursing through me. I want their hands all over me. I want to feel their bodies against mine. Most of all, I want to unravel in their arms and orgasm around their cocks.

My heart races faster with my thoughts as I look into Kane’s eyes. He’s gazing back with a gentleness that calms me. Letting out a long sigh, he brushes a lock of hair behind my ear with a smile.

“You’re alright, Mia. You’re safe with us, I promise. After tonight, you will be bound to us…forever.”

Mia

“Forever?” I ask fearfully, but my heart lifts at the same time.

Kane’s face is filled with fierce protection as he brushes his knuckle down my cheek so softly that I almost want to cry.

They all touch me with such gentleness when I need it. They seem to know what I need better than I do, most of the time. It defies all logic and explanation.

“You’ll be safe and cherished forever after tonight. You’ll be ours after the ritual,” he says in that rich, deep voice.

“I don’t understand. What ritual?” I ask, confused.

“The ritual will bind you to us permanently. You will be ours for as long as we’re alive.”

I’m not sure what I expected from his response, but at his explanation, my heart skips a beat. My eyes dart from Kane to Finn and finally to Jace as I try to take it all in.

I trust them. I do. But there’s still fear coursing through me. I still don’t fully understand everything that’s happening.

“Wait, do you mean, like... having sex?” I ask. That has to be what they mean because they’ve been withholding that from me.

Kane chuckles, his laughter rich and silky. “Oh, Mia. It’s so much more than just sex.”

I manage a smirk at that. Maybe werewolves are just more prone to melodrama than the average man. Kane might be confident in their sexual abilities, but that doesn’t mean it would be anything more than sex. It's just a release. Nothing else.

I mean, there’s no harm in it. There’s no such thing as being bonded to someone forever. I can walk away from this when it’s all over. I just want relief from the ever-growing hunger within me.

My arousal has grown to a fever pitch, and it’s hard to think clearly right now.
