Audrey

I refuse to leave Diana’s apartment for two weeks. None of my mates are happy about it, but they can’t exactly force me home. It helps that I allow Donovan and Brenden to come visit me. I would’ve let Wren come visit me too, but Wraith wouldn’t let her leave Bristix.

Yet another reason to be annoyed with my overbearing mate.

“Audrey, babe, you know I love you,” Diana begins, “but you have to go home. You miss your mates, and based on the way they’ve been blowing up your phone, they miss you, too.”

“Maybe, but they’re all driving me crazy. No one wants to fix anything, and they’re all stressing me out. That’s on top of everyone trying to talk me out of killing Michael.” I hold my hand up when she goes to speak. “I know how you feel about it, but it’s not going to change anything. Just like none of my mates have been able to change my mind before now. I have to do this—even if none of you understand it.”

She nods, and I appreciate the fact that she doesn’t try to argue with me about it again. Diana thinks I should let it go, but Celeste is with me. She thinks the man needs to die.

It seems that murdering my killer is a controversial topic. Who knew?

“I get why you needed time away, but you’re not sleeping or eating. You’re hurting yourself by being so far away from your bond mates.” She makes a face. “Also, you’re kind of cock blocking me.”

I gasp. “I would never!”

She laughs. “But you are. The only way I’m getting any cock right now is at their place, which means Melody is there. Warren and I are supposed to be working on our relationship. The three of us are solid, but I’m supposed to be spending more time with him than with both of them right now. Part of that is definitely having sex with him, therefore, you’re cock blocking me.”

“Damn. I wish you would’ve told me sooner. I would never knowingly cock block a friend.” I run a hand through my hair. “I think I’ll shower first. Are my clothes clean? I don’t want to wear any of your clothes to get home.”

She nods. “I washed them when I did laundry the other day. If you really need more time, you know I’m happy to have you stay with me—”

“Nope. You already said I was cock blocking you. You can’t take it back now.” I stand up, stretching my arms over my head before jerking my head away when I realize just how bad I smell. “Yeah. Fuck. I’m getting in the shower now.”

Diana’s laughter follows me all the way to the bathroom, where I take a long, hot shower.

I feel like a new woman when I step out and head home. I still don’t want to deal with any of the shit I ran away from, but Diana’s right. It’s time to stop hiding from my problems.

I thank Diana for her support and apologize profusely for cock blocking her before shadow walking home. I stop in front of the house, staring up at it for a moment before trudging inside.

I’m greeted by screaming from the living room.

Fuck. Here we go.

This is not what I wanted to come back to, but I’m not that surprised.

I stomp into the living room to find Cassian and Wraith in each other’s faces, yelling about something or another. Honestly, I don’t care what the fuck they’re arguing about. It just needs to stop.

Sticking my fingers in my mouth, I let out a shrill whistle that has both men falling silent. All attention turns to me, and that’s when I notice that Donovan and Brenden are on the couch, sharing popcorn.

Idiots.

“That’s enough. Do I need to leave again for another two weeks?” I ask, waving my hand between them. “I said I wanted this shit to stop. You both promised me it would, and yet, here we are. I walked in on you arguing again.”

“Trouble—”

“No.” I shake my head. “I’m the one speaking right now. Not you. In fact, all four of you can keep your mouths shut. Donovan and Brenden, I don’t want to have to point this out to either of you again. Watching Cassian and Wraith fighting is not entertainment. If you see them fighting, you break it up or you let me know it’s happening, and I’ll come break it up. No more eating popcorn like it’s a live theater or some bullshit. Do you understand me?”

They both nod, and Donovan sets aside the popcorn.

“Now, for the two of you.” I stalk over, jabbing Wraith and Cassian in the chest. “I’ve had enough. It’s time to stop fucking fighting. No, I don’t care what either of you has to say right now. The two of you need to earn my forgiveness for breaking a promise to me.”

“Little mate,” Cassian starts but smartly shuts his mouth when I glare at him.

I point to the stairs. “I want both of you upstairs in the main bedroom. Take your fucking clothes off and wait for me.”

They both stare at me like I’m stupid, and I suck in a lungful of air. “Are you deaf or dumb? Because I can think of no other reason why you’re still standing here.”

“That’s hot, firecracker. You can boss me around in the bedroom any time you want.” Brenden squeezes his dick through his pants as Cassian and Wraith glance at one another before hurrying up the stairs.

Donovan snickers. “I doubt either one of them is going to allow you to be in charge for long.”

“Oh, yes, they will—if they want me to stop being pissed at them.” I shake my head. “I’m serious. The two of you need to break them up if you see them fighting anymore. Until Wraith is willing to listen to Cassian, I don’t see it getting any better—as much as I’d like to think me taking them to bed will make it all better, I know it won’t. I need to know I can count on the two of you.”

Brenden nods. “Of course you can. I promise we won’t just watch them fight anymore. I’m sorry.”

Donovan runs a hand through his messy hair. “Yeah, I’m sorry, too. Whatever you need us to do, you can count on us.”

“That’s all I need you to do right now. Well, and maybe see if you can talk some sense into Nex.” Sighing, I start toward the stairs. “Also, please don’t come upstairs and watch. This needs to happen with just the three of us.”

Both nod solemnly, and I leave them to it as I trudge up the stairs.

How sad is it I’m not even looking forward to what’s coming? This isn’t how I wanted my first time with Cassian to be.

I guess that’s what I get for waiting so long. It’s just hard because I know sleeping with him will only make me fall harder for him, and I don’t want that when he might never be mine.

That might make me a coward, but nothing is looking like it’s going in my favor when it comes to Nex and Cassian. Until I can get everyone on the same page, I just didn’t want to take that next step. But who knows? Maybe this will teach the two of them how to work together.

Or it’s all going to blow up in my face. I’m not sure which yet.

I’m a little surprised when I step into the bedroom to find both of them stark naked—even if they’re on opposite sides of the bedroom and refusing to look at each other.

My eyes trail down Cassian’s body, and I bite my lip when I realize he has bars through his nipples and cock. That’s definitely a Jacob’s Ladder. I can’t wait to get a closer look at it.

Hell yes!

“Since neither one of you can seem to talk to each other civilly, I don’t want to hear either of you speak. I’m in charge. If you want to remain in the room, you’ll listen to what I tell you to do. If you can’t listen, then I’ll kick you out.” I glance between them. “Any questions or comments?”

Surprisingly, they both shake their heads.

“Good.” I pull off my tank top and bra, tossing them to the side before ridding myself of my shoes, shorts, and thong. “On the bed.”

There’s a moment of hesitation before they climb onto the bed. It’s big enough that they’re nowhere near each other, and that’s never going to work.

I climb onto the bed, crawling to the top before lying down. “I want both of you to eat my pussy and get me off.”

“I’ll go first,” Cassian says, hurrying forward, but I shake my head.

“You misunderstand. I want both of your mouths on me at the same time.” I snort when they both balk. “You act like your mouths and tongues have never touched. I didn’t ask you to blow one another. All I did was tell you to make your mate feel good by working together. That shouldn’t be asking too much of you.”

They share another look before both nodding. They each take one of my legs and spread me open as far as they can. It’s a tight squeeze for both of them to fit together, but they make it work.

My eyes fall shut at the first swipe of another. Then another. Then both.

“Yes,” I hiss, hands sinking into their hair. “Like that.”

It’s easy to lose myself to the pleasure they’re giving me—especially when they both slide their tongues inside my cunt as they fuck me together. Imagining their tongues sliding against one another is what sends me flying over the edge. I grind against both of them as I cling to their hair, riding out one of the best orgasms of my life. I don’t let up until my body feels like jelly.

“That was good,” I assure them, tsking when Wraith moves off the bed. “If you think you’re done, you’re sorely mistaken. Now that you’ve gotten me off on your tongues, it’s time to use your cocks. I want both of them buried inside my pussy at once. Wraith, since you’re up, why don’t you grab the lube?”

He looks like he wants to argue, but eventually, he relents and grabs the lube before rejoining us on the bed.

I push Cassian onto his back and straddle him. “Wraith, get me ready to take your cock—just don’t take too long. Remember, I heal quickly.”

Then, without another word, I sink onto Cassian’s cock. We groan together as my cunt flutters around his length.

Those piercings feel fucking amazing.

I roll my hips, loving the way those bars drag against my walls. His fingers find my clit, circling it as Wraith pours lube onto his fingers before pushing them in alongside Cassian’s cock, pulling moans from all three of us.

I just went two weeks without sex after living with my mates for months. I’m horny as fuck, and I want both of their cocks inside of me.

Wraith is going entirely too slowly for my tastes, so I slam down on the cock and fingers inside of me. “Enough. I need your cock. Damn it, Wraith.”

“I’m going. I’m going.” Wraith pulls his fingers from me, and I hear the sounds of lube being poured once more.

I ride Cassian slowly, leaning forward to kiss him.

Wraith notches his cock at my entrance, pushing in slowly with no urging from me. Because I didn’t allow him to stretch me out properly, there’s a bit of pain, but I don’t mind too much.

Cassian is panting beneath me, and I smile down at him. “What’s wrong, Cass? Have you never had another cock with yours inside a pussy?”

“No, brat, I haven’t. It feels so good. Damn, Wraith. Hurry on, man. I can’t hold on much longer.” Cassian yanks me down for another kiss as Wraith slams in the last bit.

My back arches, a scream falling from my lips as two sets of fingers dig into my hips.

“Move,” I demand. “Fuck me. Now.”

And boy, do they.

For two men who can’t speak to one another without arguing, they do amazingly well at finding a rhythm with one another that ensures I always have a cock buried inside of me.

“Holy shit, Cassian. Those fucking piercings.” Wraith grunts as he pulls out and then buries himself in me once more.

“They feel good, don’t they?” My fallen angel mate asks with a chuckle.

Wraith doesn’t answer him, but that’s okay because they pick up their pace as they plow into me. When one of their fingers finds my clit, I detonate. My entire body shakes as I come, pleasure rushing over me and leaving me euphoric.

Cassian is the first to come, cursing as his hot cum spurts against my walls and Wraith’s cock.

“Shit. That’s so fucking dirty,” Wraith moans as he comes, still fucking into me while Cassian and I lay there, trying to catch our breaths.

Eventually, Wraith pulls out of me and rolls onto his back. I somehow manage to pull myself off Cassian and collapse between them.

“Now, am I going to walk in on any more arguments or fights between the two of you?” I ask, eyes closed.

Neither of them answers right away, but that’s fine. As long as they give me the answer I want, then I don’t give a fuck how long it takes them to respond.

“I’ll try harder,” Wraith says reluctantly. “But I need him to stop trying to talk to me about what happened when we broke up.”

Cassian sighs. “But I need to—”

“No,” Wraith cuts him off. “That’s the only way I can promise we don’t fight.”

Rolling my head to the side, I stare at Wraith. “Eventually, you’re going to need to listen to what he has to say. This isn’t going to work if you continue to hate him.”

“Fine. I promise to hear him out—eventually. When I’m ready. Until then, he needs to not mention it.”

I don’t like it, but what else am I going to do?

“Cassian?”

He sighs. “I like it when you call me Cass, little mate. But yes, I’ll stop bringing it up, and I promise to do my best not to fight with him.”

“Good. I’m glad that’s settled. Now, cuddle with me.” I roll onto my side, facing Wraith, smiling when they both cuddle up to me.

Have I really fixed anything? I don’t think so, but maybe—just maybe—this is the beginning of fixing what’s broken between the two of them.
