I could purr.

And I did.Loudly.

Both of them slowly turned their heads toward me, their expressions equal parts feral and intrigued. Novak’s lips even twitched at the sides, approval radiating from his gaze.

“Do you need something, little one?” he asked, his voice smooth like velvet. His hand slid beneath the sheet to rest on my lower abdomen, his touch a brand to my bare skin. A molten claim. A promise for so much more. “Tell us what you want, and we’ll consider giving it to you.”

“Consider?” I repeated breathlessly.

“Mmm,” he hummed, leaning down to kiss the edge of my mouth. “You’re still purring, Layla. Such a glorious, hypnotic, mesmerizing sound.” His lips trailed across my cheek to my ear. “Tell us what you want,” he said again. “Tell us how to worship you.”

My legs squeezed together, my core burning with a need only they could satisfy. “Kiss me,” I said again.

“Where?” he asked, his lips brushing mine. “Here?” he guessed, his palm slipping deeper into the sheets to my shorts and lower to the place aching for a man’s touch. “Or maybe here?” He tilted his head, then pressed his mouth to my neck. “Or is this what you desire?” He nipped my thundering pulse as Auric bent over my chest to nibble my nipple through my shirt.

“Oh!” I bowed off the bed.

“I think she wants to be kissed here,” the Nora Warrior said, his hot breath weaving with the strands of my top.

I wanted to strip. To free my body. To invite them to touch every inch of me. To claim them. Toexplode.

Novak’s fingers skimmed the top of my shorts, his thumb popping open the button before he deftly dragged down the zipper.

I wore nothing beneath.

Which elicited a low growl of approval from him as he ventured inside to stroke my bare skin. “She’s soft,” he said almost reverently, his fingers slipping lower. “And very wet.”

Auric made a sound against my breast, his teeth grazing my stiff tip. “What do you want us to do to you, Layla?”

It warmed a certain part of me to realize they were both willing to please me.Together. Like it wasn’t even a question that they would share. Because they knew I desired them both. Was it my purr? My eyes? My scent? Whatever the cause, I was grateful, as I didn’t think I could choose if forced.

How strange that Novak had become a part of me in such a brief time, his presence one that completed me in an unexpected way. He empowered me, listened to me, and provided me with an uncanny confidence to take what I wanted.

Auric… Auric was my heart. My home. My joy.

Together, they made me feel whole.

I whispered that knowledge out loud, telling them that my soul recognized its match. Our fates were interlocked, and I didn’t want to fight it.

Perhaps it was a naïve decision on my part.

Or maybe it was the right one.

Regardless, I accepted it. I owned it. And I told them what I wanted.Them. “Everything,” I breathed. “I want everything. Everywhere. Every touch. Every kiss. Every sensation. Make me yours. Claim me.Takeme.” My chest reverberated with the call of my soul, demanding their compliance, aching for them to accept me.

Their mate.

Their chosen.

Their female.

Auric released a low sound in his throat, the animalistic quality of it sending a quiver through my body and causing my stomach to clench with need.

“Everything,” Novak repeated, his lips caressing my ear, “is a very dangerous proposition, Layla.” He skimmed his mouth along my neck to my pulse as his fingers ventured deeper into my shorts to slip through my folds to the very heart of me. “Have you ever been with two men at the same time before?”

I shook my head, my lungs constricting as I reminded myself to breathe. Auric’s lips sealed around my nipple through my shirt, his tongue circling my peak as Novak slipped two fingers inside me.

A jolt shocked my spine, my body enslaved by their touch, their mouths, their very presence.
