A strange grumbling chuckle rolled from behind the trees and terror crawled up my spine.

Something wasn’t right. I jolted back into motion, my tired legs finding new life as I ran.

Someone was following me, but I didn’t dare look back.

The shadows at my feet writhed and seemed to push me forward.

The sounds behind me grew louder—branches snapped, as if a giant was barreling through the trees. Panic threatened to swallow me whole.

Then suddenly, everything stopped. A low, guttural groan echoed through the woods, followed by complete silence.

I ducked behind a tree, desperate to catch my breath. My lungs burned, and my ears rang in the stillness. Damn Fallon. Damn this ridiculous outfit. I hadn’t had a place to bring my eidris with me and I felt more vulnerable than ever.

I chanced a break, trying to retrace my steps—only to crash into something solid.

A rune-painted chest.

A scream tore from my lips as large hands encircled my arms. “I like it when you scream, little bird,” Nico’s deep, gravelly voice cut through my panic.

I threw my arms around him, letting the fear melt from my body. Every muscle turned to liquid, and I let the strength of him hold me up. Leaves rustled behind us, and my body went rigid in Nico’s arms.

“Looks like you found our prey. She’s faster than I thought,” Luca said, an edge to his voice I hadn’t heard before. “Our younger brothers may have gotten their way with her first, but it looks like we won the race.”

“I’m beginning to think the lady prefers our baser instincts. She likes it when our beasts come out to play,” Nico said, the two of them circling around me with hungry eyes.

“Now we get to enjoy our prize,” Luca added.

Fear and excitement warred for dominance, but I couldn’t stop the warmth blooming in my core as anticipation took hold.

“She’s my prize. I got to her first,” Nico asserted, the two of them locking eyes as they continued to circle.

“She’s my fated, too!” Luca growled. I wasn’t used to my happy-go-lucky beast being so aggressive.

“You can watch while you wait your turn. Or, by all means—challenge me.” Nico beckoned him forward, and a part of me wondered if he was hoping for the fight. I stood frozen, watching the spectacle, feeling more like prey than ever before.

“You may be older. You may be bigger. But for her—I will take down anything standing in my way.”

Nico growled in turn. “Are you going to watch, or are you ready to fight?”

Luca bowed slightly. “I’ll wait. Someone has to finish her off when you leave her wanting.”

Nico bared his teeth to his brother before grabbing my wrist and dragging me toward him. I slammed into his bare chest, and he growled in my ear, “To the victor goes the spoils.”

Strong hands fisted in my hair, holding me still as his lips crashed onto mine, claiming my mouth.

His tongue swept over my lips with urgent need, and I opened for him, letting him explore.

He moved his hands from my hair, pushing up the tiny garment covering my breasts and cupping them.

I found myself leaning into his warm caress, my desire rising to meet his.

In the flicker of a heartbeat, he was gone, pulling away and leaving me reeling. My skin chilled as the cold air rushed to fill the places he had just been. “Hold her steady and spread her legs,” Nico commanded. “I want to taste her honey.”

Luca’s body pressed against my back, splaying a hand over my exposed belly and kicking my legs apart. The short skirt rode up my thighs, leaving me fully exposed.

My beast king kneeled before me, his hands running up the backs of my legs. He looked up at me briefly, lust flaring in his eyes before he buried his face in my sex. Pleasure coursed through my body.

“That’s right, beautiful. Let us hear you sing,” Luca whispered in my ear as a desperate moan slipped from my lips. He peered over my shoulder, reaching for Nico and grabbed a fistful of his hair, angling his head for a better view. “How does she taste?”

“Divine,” he growled. “I’ll crave her sweetness for the rest of my days,” Nico groaned before continuing his ministrations, running his tongue over my clit in slow, rhythmic patterns.

I was lost, adrift in a pool of rapture when I reached my hand down, twining my fingers with Luca’s, digging my nails into his palm while his brother ravaged me. The cold night air on my skin, the primal charge surrounding us, and his relentless tongue working my tight bud drove me to new heights.

“Fuck, that’s—so good.” The words came out in panted mews as I tried to hold on to the sensation, riding the high before he inevitably pulled me over the edge.

I was thankful to have Luca behind me, holding me up. I shamelessly ground against his hardness, needing more friction.

“That’s right, love. Keep doing that,” Luca groaned in my ear. “Just one finger. That’s all she needs.”

Without missing a beat, Nico teased my opening.

“That’s it. I know you’re ready to cum. Let it go,” Luca said, his hand pressing against my belly, increasing the pressure of Nico’s finger inside me and sending me into sweet oblivion.

“Oh God!” The words spilled from my lips, and I writhed against his face, riding out my orgasm on his hand.

“Not a god—I am your king,” Nico growled. “And watching my queen come undone for me is pure bliss.”

Nico looked up at me with adoring eyes before sweeping me off my feet. My hand remained intertwined with Luca’s. The two of them laid me down in a patch of moonlit moss. Luca leaned against a nearby tree, fisting his shaft and positioning himself for a show.

My king kneeled between my legs, pulling the ties on his pants, releasing his massive cock from its confines. Everything about him was large, and that held true in every aspect. But I was too far gone to let it deter me. I wanted him inside me. Now.

His warm palm rested on my bent knee, while the other fisted his cock at the root, dragging his length through my wetness until he was slick with my excitement.

“Now, little bird, give me my bliss again,” he growled as he slid inside, inch by slow inch until he was buried to the hilt. He paused, letting me adjust to the sinfully sweet burning stretch of him filling me.

Our eyes locked, sharing something I couldn’t fully explain. That inexplicable moment when one soul fuses to another—when two become one. He began to move, his face drawing so close to mine that I could see the passion dancing in his eyes.

A warm, blue glow radiated between us as the pleasure grew. Lines of power seemed to come from the land, engulfing us in a luminescent cocoon. Everything fell away until there was nothing but us.

Each stroke brought me higher. Pleasure consumed me, blurring my vision into white points of light, as though the stars had collided.

“Cum for me, little bird,” he said, his words melting me, falling over the edge and into the swell of an all-consuming climax.

“Turn her over,” Luca commanded as I drifted back down to reality.

Nico pulled out, flipping me onto my hands and knees, pulling my hips back and sheathing himself inside me in one fluid movement, sending shockwaves over my sensitive flesh.

Luca left his spot against the tree, kneeling down beside me. He gripped my chin, tilting my head until I met his hungry gaze.

“That’s it. Keep your eyes on me. I want to watch as he hits that spot that drives you crazy.” He ran his thumb over my bottom lip before pressing it into my mouth, probing in and out, pushing further with each stroke until I gagged.

I was awash in sensation. The two of them working in conjunction to draw out every bit of pleasure from my body and I was on fire for both of them.

“Time to finish up, brother,” Luca commanded. “I’m claiming her next one.”

Nico’s fervent pace picked up, his fingertips digging into my hips as he used me for his own pleasure.

“Don’t you cum. Wait for me,” Luca said, drawing my attention back to him. It was everything I could do to follow his orders, to hold myself back while his brother filled me so completely.

Nico stilled, fully sheathed inside me as a feral groan rumbled from his chest. The sound of him letting go was almost my undoing.

“My turn,” Luca growled, grasping my arms and pulling me from his brother. The loss of Nico’s length—the feel of his seed dripping down my thighs—was profound. I was on the brink of climax, and they’d left me desperate.

Luca pulled me over his body, drawing me into his lap. The warmth of him soothing the bite of the cold air as his hands caressed my back.

“I’ve been waiting my whole life for this,” he whispered in my ear, pulling my hair to the side to bite my shoulder.

His hands were on my ass, lifting me until the head of his cock found my opening.

He eased me down, slowly impaling me on his thick shaft, my breasts pressing against his chiseled chest.

“You’re perfect.” Luca hissed. “You take me so well,”

His praise unleashed a need unlike anything I’d ever felt.

I leaned my forehead against his, wrapping my arms around his neck, and began to grind.

Shamelessly, rubbing against him to find the friction I was so desperate for.

The lines of power were back, swirling up from the ground, circling around us in another blue vortex.

The energy shifting between the two of us was heady—an otherworldly connection and I couldn’t get enough of it.

“I can’t—” I gasped, trying to hold back the dam that was about to break.

“Yes, you can. Wait for me,” he groaned, holding onto me for dear life as he thrust into me with fervor.

It was almost painful, denying myself release.

Each punishing stroke demanding deliverance, until no amount of willpower could keep me from tipping over the edge.

A cry erupted from my lips as I lost all control.

My climax seized my body, tensing around his length as I rode out the wave of pleasure.

Luca growled, his hips jerking as I drew him into his own rapture, the two of us sharing the high as we melted into one another. I stayed there in his arms while my body slowly returned to reality.

“You were made for me,” Luca sighed, his face buried in my hair.

A second pair of warm hands were on my back, sliding under my arms, and pulling me from Luca’s body. Nico cradled me to his chest placing a chaste kiss on my forehead before slinging me over his shoulder.

“You were amazing, little bird, Let’s go home. We’ll get you cleaned up and tucked into bed,” he said, slapping my ass before stalking off into the darkness.
