“You are magnificent,” he whispered, voice cracked and breathless.“A miracle.”

Tears blurred my vision.I cupped his face, letting him see all of me, letting him have it.This wasn’t just sex.It was something deeper.Evander held me like I was precious, like he was remaking the pieces of me with every kiss, every movement.

But even his control had a limit.His rhythm broke, faster now, need sharpening each stroke.His body shuddered as he buried his face in my neck, whispering my name like he could anchor himself to it.His arm curled behind my back, lifting me, angling my hips just right.His cock struck a spot that sent fire rushing through me, and I came—hard.My muscles clenched, my body arched, and I cried out as ecstasy washed over me like a tide I couldn’t stop.

He groaned, deep and ragged, his cock pulsing as he spilled inside me.For a moment, he stayed perfectly still, his breath against my throat, his arms wrapped around me like the world would end if he let go.

Eventually, he eased back and kissed my palm.A soft, intimate gesture.Then he tucked a blanket over my waist with quiet care.

Four down.Three more.

I should’ve felt finished, but instead I burned hotter than ever.My pussy still throbbed.Still clenched around nothing.Still begged to be filled again.I was greedy now, high on power, love, magic… and the seven men who had made me theirs.

The others watched me with hungry eyes.

Ronan was next.He didn’t wait for an invitation.

He stalked forward, gray eyes lit with something dark—resentment, challenge, desire that pulsed like lightning beneath his skin.He didn’t look at me like a man about to worship.He looked at me like a man ready to ruin.“You sure you want the villain now?”he asked, the crooked smirk on his face failing to hide the crack in his armor.

I reached for him and kissed him hard, pouring every bit of my answer into the connection.“Yes,” I whispered.“Even the villain.”

Something shifted in his expression.Vulnerability flickered and vanished, slammed behind the wall he always wore.He grabbed me, spun me around, and forced me onto my hands and knees.His cock pressed at my entrance—thick, hot, already pulsing with need.

“I’m going to fuck you until you forget everyone who came before me,” he growled.He dragged two fingers through my slick folds and shoved them into my mouth.I sucked on them, tasting myself and the others, moaning around him.“Until all you remember is my name.”

He slammed into me with a brutal thrust that made me cry out.My arms shook.My back arched.His hands gripped my hips like they were his and always had been.His thrusts were deep, fast, and punishing, each one knocking the breath from my lungs.He leaned over me, chest against my back, hand tangled in my hair, his breath hot against my ear.

“You’re fucking soaked,” he snarled.“Little sorceress can’t get enough.”

I whimpered, my cunt tightening around him in response.His pace grew savage.He pulled me up, spun me around, and slammed me against the wall.My legs wrapped around his waist, and he lifted me like I weighed nothing.Then he was fucking up into me, hips pistoning with raw, violent need.

“I hate how much I want you,” he growled against my throat.“I want to ruin you.”

“You already have,” I gasped, my nails scoring down his back.

That did it.He slammed into me again and again, then came with a hoarse cry, cock pulsing deep inside me as his rhythm faltered.I came again with him, a softer orgasm that melted through my limbs like silk.

He stayed there for a long, breathless moment, head resting on my shoulder, breath ragged.His teeth pressed to my skin.He didn’t speak, but he didn’t need to.

Ronan didn’t say mine like the others.But it was in the way he touched me.In the way his thumbs traced circles on my waist.In the kiss he pressed to the bite mark blooming on my neck.

He set me gently back into the nest Evander made and stepped away, his back to me.

But he left part of himself behind, still curled in my chest like a secret only I could keep.

Kade came last before Garrett.Silent.Shadowed.The panther shifter had watched everything unfold from the edge of the firelight, his expression unreadable, his eyes never once leaving mine.While the others moaned, whispered, growled their need, Kade remained still, coiled like a predator waiting for the perfect moment to strike.And when he moved, it was with the quiet grace of something dangerous.Each step deliberate.Each breath measured.The fire caught along the cut of his muscles and the gleam of precum trailing from the thick length between his thighs.He didn’t ask.He didn’t speak.He didn’t need to.

He cupped my cheek, his palm rough and warm, the pad of one knuckle brushing down my jaw in a touch that made my breath hitch.That was his question.That was his permission.“You don’t have to say anything,” I whispered.“Just come here, my mate.”

And he did.

One smooth motion brought him inside me, deep and thick, his cock forcing me open in a stretch that made my toes curl.My gasp caught in my throat, but his hand was already there, fingers curling gently, his thumb resting over my pulse like he needed to feel my heartbeat beneath his palm.He laid me back with care, his body settling over mine.Our mouths crashed together in a bruising kiss that tasted like worship and desperation.He didn’t ease into me.He took me.His rhythm was sharp, relentless, just shy of brutal, but never careless.Every thrust sent sparks across my skin, each one precise, devastating.I arched into him, nerves lit and raw, my body a live wire.

My legs wrapped around his waist, locking him inside as he drove deeper, his cock dragging over every oversensitive place until I could hardly breathe.I clawed at his back, nails raking down his skin, but he didn’t flinch.He welcomed it.Growled into my mouth.Bit my lower lip until I whimpered.He shifted his angle, and suddenly I couldn’t stay quiet.I cried out, writhing beneath him as heat turned to fire, the burn of friction tangled with the rush of surrender.Then it hit… my orgasm sharp and brutal, no buildup, just explosion.I came hard, body convulsing as white-hot waves ripped through me.Messy.Loud.Completely consuming.

His mouth left my lips, trailing down my throat.He bit the swell of my breast, then soothed the sting with his tongue.His hips moved faster.Rougher.Controlled precision beginning to crumble.And for the first time, I saw him break.His jaw clenched.His eyes glassed over.His movements grew frantic.One last thrust, deep and savage, and he came with a groan that shook his whole body.His cock pulsed inside me, filling me with heat as he collapsed over me, forehead resting on my shoulder.His breath came heavy, fast, almost wild.

Then he reached for my wrist, lifting it between us, and pressed a kiss to the softest part of my skin.“Mine.”Just one word.But it wrapped around my heart and never let go.
