HANNA

In the summer castle, I looked for Dare first. He had launched himself away from us once we landed. Honor had given them a suite of lavish rooms for visiting dignitaries—large enough for me, though I had my own bedroom—but he wasn’t in his room.

I leaned in the doorway, thinking about how he had disappeared from his room at that farm too. As soon as he knew that he wanted me—that he needed me—he’d been too overwhelmed to stay with me.

I was about done with Dare’s bullshit.

“Where is he?” I demanded, returning to the main room. Thorne leaned against the arched window, one big arm braced over his head as he studied the lush green fields and bright blue of the distant water with a look of concern.

“Sulking out there somewhere, no doubt.” Kaelan was writing, and he didn’t look up at me as his pen moved rapidly across the page, far too quickly for how beautiful his writing was.

“Why is he sulking?”

Kaelan leaned back in his chair, throwing his pen to the desk. “Why don’t you tell me? Tell me what happened between you and Dare while I was killing my way toward a throne.”

“I need Dare with us for that conversation. I never know what’s going on in his head.” Besides, I didn’t want to have all the fun of explaining ourselves to Kaelan. I might as well share the joy.

Kaelan’s brows arched, and he cocked a finger at me, beckoning me over. “I think you have a lot to tell me, Hanna, and I am not a particularly patient man.”

I stuck my tongue out at him.

Kaelan never did bring out my best self.

Thorne chuckled, as if he were amused by us both.

Kaelan was out of his chair faster than should have been humanly possible. I made my way to the door, but he was suddenly behind me, pinning me to the door so I couldn’t open it. His hard, corded torso pressed me into the wood.

He pulled my hair back gently with one hand so he could press a kiss to the side of my throat. “You missed me. That’s the only explanation for why you would defy me. You want to play.”

“We don’t have time to play. As you said…we have to kill our way to a throne.”

He shook his head, and I felt a ripple of tension in his body against mine. “I need a break from killing.”

“It’s been that bad?” My words were nonchalant, but my breath was shallow. Kaelan’s presence was all-consuming, stealing the breath from my lungs, stealing my ability to focus on anything but the hard length of his body against mine.

“I need you,” he said, his breath against my throat. “My only rest is with you.”

“Then you can’t send me away.” I put my hand on his cheek, turned his face so I could kiss him over my shoulder. His lips were soft against mine, tender in a way that always surprised me when it came to this hard, difficult man.

He made a non-committal hum against my mouth.

“I need to find Dare and make sure he’s all right,” I said.

“Give him some space, that’s what he needs,” Kaelan murmured. “We all saw more of him today than he cares to reveal.”

I slammed back against Kaelan, trying to make some space, then I twisted in his arms, but he was a stone wall against my body. He kissed my cheek tenderly, as if I hadn’t just thrown myself against him in the first of a series of moves that would’ve brought a lesser man to his knees. “I don’t care.”

Kaelan smiled against my skin. “I know you don’t. Which is why I’m not letting you out of this room until he’s had time to come to terms with his feelings…and you’ve orgasmed for me five or six times.”

I raised my eyebrows, and Kaelan’s smile widened as he straightened. He was so much bigger than I was, tall and broad-shouldered; I felt delicate beside him when I usually felt so dangerous.

He looked down at me fondly, tracing my cheek with his fingertips. “Fight with me so you won’t fight with him.”

“I am happy for you to make me come, Kaelan. Don’t be ridiculous.” I aimed a mischievous smile at him. “Go ahead and serve me.”

He scoffed, just as I knew he would. “You need to fight just as much as you need to come.” He tipped my chin up to his and his mouth descended on mine.

I leaned into Kaelan’s touch, my body already humming with need. His thumb traced my lower lip, and I parted my mouth slightly, inviting him in. He leaned down, capturing my lips in a kiss that was both fierce and sweet. As his tongue lapped into my mouth, a moan built in my throat.

I pulled away long enough to murmur, “Thorne too.”

“Do you think he would let me have you all to myself?” Kaelan gripped my body, his arm a bar across my lower back, and turned us both.

Thorne stepped in behind me, his dark eyes alight, and I was caged between their two tall, muscular bodies. Thorne’s big hand slid across my throat, bending me back toward him slightly, and his lips pressed mine. Thorne’s kisses were always so sweet and so full of hunger at the same time. He kissed me like he had needed me for years, even though I was all his now.

Kaelan’s hands delved across my body, beginning to strip off the dress I’d worn when I had to be Ginelle. The dark, torn, bloodsoaked fabric fell around my ankles. I kicked it away, eager to be done with it, but my time as Ginelle felt as if it were a thousand years away when my men held me between them.

Thorne’s hands slid up my sides, pulling me back against his firm chest. His lips found the sensitive spot behind my ear, and I shivered as he kissed and nipped at my skin. Thorne’s kiss had bite, and that was just the way I needed it. His breath was hot against the damp bruise he’d just sucked onto my throat. “We’ve missed you.”

I twined my fingers through his hair, smiling up at him. His dark eyes shone with the love and warmth that seemed to be reserved just for me.

“Show us how much you’ve missed us,” Kaelan commanded, his voice taking on that dominant tone that never failed to make me clench with desire.

Thorne turned me to face him, his hands cupping my breasts through my lace bra. His thumbs brushed over my nipples, and they hardened under his touch. Kaelan stood behind me, his hands on my hips, his mouth on my neck. His cock was hard against the curve of my ass, but he made no move to undress me further. Thorne held my gaze as he caressed my breasts through the thin fabric. He knew exactly how to touch me so liquid heat spread from my breasts all the way to my aching core. When I bit my lower lip, swaying toward him, he smiled in satisfaction.

Kaelan curved his immense body over mine, so he could grip between my thighs with his big hand. He held me still that way as Thorne pushed the cup of my bra under the curve of my breast, and my hips bucked forward seeking more of Thorne. Kalean pulled me back against his body, his other hand going to my throat to hold me still.

“Can you make her come just from your mouth on her breasts?” Kaelan asked Thorne.

Thorne rubbed my nipple with one thumb, and my knees went weak. It didn’t matter, because Kaelan was holding me upright. “Let’s find out.”

Thorne bowed before me, his dark hair brushing my skin as his head dipped toward my cleavage. I let out a moan of anticipation, and Kaelan’s fingers tightened around my throat, betraying his need.

The tip of Thorne’s tongue teased around the edge of one nipple as his big palm caressed my breast. The two different sensations overwhelmed me. Then he enveloped my nipple in his mouth, sucking all of it in, and my hips bucked wildly. His mouth worked against my nipple until he pulled away, leaving the cool air in the room to caress my heated skin as he slowly repeated the same wonderful torture on the other side.

I ground down against Kaelan’s hand, needing more, and he gripped me more firmly, grinding my body back against his, allowing me no space to find my friction. “Don’t be naughty,” he murmured into my ear. “I’ve been dying to punish you for leaving me. It’s been all I could think about.”

“You told me—” I broke off in a gasp as Thorne’s tongue stroked over my nipple, and I barely managed to regain my focus. “To leave. You can’t—” I kept losing my train of thought. “You can’t punish me.”

“Are we unfair to you?” Kaelan asked with mock concern.

I couldn’t formulate an answer. I was too wrought with pleasure as Thorne lashed my nipples with his tongue mercilessly, as his big hands cupped my breasts and drove me mad.

My core tightened, my knees softened. Kaelan held me still, and Thorne pleasured me until I was thrashing, my head shaking back and forth across Kaelan’s chest. Kaelan’s grip curled tighter around my throat and slid up to my jaw, and he held my face still with one big hand cupped around my chin.

“One,” Kaelan murmured as I let out a cry, my body tightening and then releasing his arms. My body shook, convulsing with need as Thorne straightened to kiss me. He swallowed the rest of my cries, his fingers still working my nipples until I sagged helplessly between them.

I felt boneless. The world spun. Slowly, I came back to myself. “Are you going to count them all out, you smug prick?”

Kaelan grinned unapologetically. His grip on me eased, but he still kept one arm round my waist to make sure I didn’t fall. “I would be careful calling names. You could spend a long, long time in that place between needing and having an orgasm.”

Thorne’s eyes darkened as he looked at me, his gaze roaming over my body like a physical touch. My nipples were pink and erect from his touch, and he watched me ride the aftershocks of my orgasm, my stomach tightening as my core pulsed.

Kaelan’s hands slid up my thighs, his fingers hooking into the sides of my panties. He pulled them down slowly, his knuckles brushing against my skin.

I stood before them, completely naked, my body aching with need. Kaelan’s hand cupped my pussy, his fingers sliding through my wetness now that fabric was gone. “You’re soaked, Hanna. You’ve needed that, haven’t you? Thorne’s hot mouth on your greedy tits. I bet you need his mouth on that greedy pussy of yours too.”

I felt brazen with the two of them; there was no hiding what I wanted or needed with them. “I bet I do.”

Kaelan swirled his fingers around my clit and then slid one inside me. My breath hitched.

He drew his finger out and brought it to his mouth. His other hand caught my chin, pulling my face up so my gaze was on his as he tasted me. “Delicious,” he murmured. “The best pussy in the world. Have her, Thorne.”

Thorne sank to his knees before me, his hands gripping my thighs. Kaelan guided me to lean back against him, his strong arms supporting me as Thorne spread my legs wider. I felt exposed, vulnerable, but the love and desire in their eyes made me feel cherished too.

Thorne’s tongue flicked out, tracing the length of my slit. I gasped, my hips jerking at the sudden, intense pleasure. Kaelan held me steady, his mouth at my ear, his voice a low, sexy rumble. “Easy. Let him taste you. Let him make you feel good.”

Thorne’s tongue delved deeper, parting my folds, circling my clit. I moaned, my hands finding their way into his thick, dark hair, gripping tightly. Kaelan’s hands roamed my body, cupping my breasts, pinching my nipples, stoking the fire within me higher and higher.

“That’s it, Thorne,” Kaelan directed, his voice dominant yet filled with desire. “Slide a finger inside her. Feel how tight she is, how much she wants us.”

Thorne complied, his thick finger sliding into me with ease. I rocked my hips, grinding against his hand, his tongue. Kaelan’s mouth was on my neck, his teeth grazing my sensitive skin, his breath hot and ragged.

“Another finger, Thorne,” Kaelan commanded. “Stretch her. Prepare her for us.”

Thorne slipped another finger inside me, and I could feel the stretch, the slight burn that only served to heighten my pleasure. His fingers moved in and out, his tongue never stopping its sweet torture on my clit.

“She’s close, Thorne,” Kaelan murmured, his hands now gripping my thighs, spreading me wider for Thorne’s feasting. “Make her scream for us.”

Thorne’s fingers curled inside me, hitting that perfect spot, his tongue flicking faster, harder. The sensation was overwhelming, and I could feel my orgasm building, a wave of pleasure that threatened to consume me.

“Oh gods,” I gasped. “Oh gods, I’m…it’s too much.”

Thorne didn’t stop, didn’t slow down. He kept licking, kept fucking me with his fingers, drawing out my orgasm until I was screaming their names, my body convulsing with wave after wave of pleasure.

Thorne leaned in, kissing me deeply, letting me taste myself on his lips. Behind me, Kaelan’s hard cock pressed against my back, a promise of more pleasure to come.

“Two,” Kaelan said. “Now it’s our turn.”

He stepped back, and I turned to face him, my body still humming with the remnants of my orgasm. His eyes were dark with desire, his cock straining against his pants. I reached out, unbuckling his belt and sliding his pants down his muscular thighs. His cock sprang free, hard and thick, and I wrapped my hand around it, feeling it pulse in my grip.

Thorne moved behind me, his hands on my hips, his cock pressing against my ass. He was naked now too, his clothes discarded hastily. I could feel his heat, his desire, matching my own.

Kaelan’s hand covered mine, guiding me to stroke him just the way he liked. His breath hitched, his eyes never leaving mine. “On your knees, my queen.”

I sank to my knees, my heart pounding. I loved this, loved the way they took control, the way they guided me. Kaelan’s cock was in front of me, and I leaned in, licking the bead of pre-cum from the tip. He hissed, his hand tangling in my hair.

“Take him in your mouth, Hanna,” Thorne directed, his voice rough with desire. “Show him how much you’ve missed him.”

I parted my lips, taking Kaelan’s cock into my mouth. I swirled my tongue around the head, then took him deeper, my hands gripping his thighs. Behind me, Thorne knelt down, his hands parting my thighs. I knew what he was going to do, and I moaned around Kaelan’s cock in anticipation.

Thorne’s tongue found my pussy again, licking and sucking, driving me wild. I bobbed my head, taking Kaelan deeper, my moans vibrating around his cock. Kaelan’s grip on my hair tightened, his hips moving slightly, fucking my mouth gently.

“That’s it,” Kaelan groaned. “Just like that.” His voice was hoarse with pleasure, his eyes dark and intense as he watched me. Behind me, Thorne’s tongue delved deeper, his fingers digging into my thighs as he feasted on me. The dual sensations were overwhelming, and I could feel my body ramping up again, my pussy throbbing with need.

Kaelan pulled my hair lightly, guiding my head to look up at him. “Your mouth feels incredible, Hanna,” he murmured, his thumb brushing my cheek. “But I want to see you take Thorne now. I want to watch him fuck you.”

He stepped back, his cock glistening with my saliva. Thorne picked me up easily, as if I weighed nothing, and it was for the best because my legs were shaky with need. He carried me to the bed and deposited me gently in the soft quilts, before placing a kiss on my forehead that was as tender as their cocks were hard.

Kaelan knelt beside us, his hand stroking his cock as he watched intently.

“Spread her wide, Thorne,” Kaelan directed, his voice thick with lust. “Let me see how wet she is for us.”

Thorne complied, his strong hands gripping my thighs and spreading them wide. Kaelan stroked his cock himself as he stared down at my glistening pink opening, swollen from two orgasms and still needy for more.

Thorne leaned forward and pressed a kiss to the back of my hands, setting them on my thighs to hold them open myself. He teased the tip of his cock against my opening.

I let out a groan, feeling the heat and mingled pain/pleasure of being so close to my last orgasm, still sore and somehow still ready for more. My fingers tightened on my thighs, struggling to hold myself open for them—but I did.

Thorne stared down at our bodies connection as he slowly slid his cock inside me, inch by inch until he bottomed out, his balls brushing against my ass. I loved the sight of his big cock disappearing into me too.

Kaelan leaned in, his hand still stroking his cock, his eyes intent.

I rocked my hips, grinding against Thorne’s mouth.

Thorne’s thumb found my clit, brushing across me over and over again as he began to move. He pulled out slowly each time, then slammed home, his tip scraping over the spot inside that turned me to nothing but wild, raving pleasure.

Kaelan’s mouth found mine, his kiss hungry and demanding, swallowing my moans as Thorne brought me closer and closer to the edge.

“Oh gods,” I gasped against Kaelan’s mouth, my body tensing as the pleasure crested. My words dissolved into a scream as my orgasm ripped through me.

Thorne eased me through my orgasm, his tongue gentling, his fingers slowing until I was a panting, trembling mess. He leaned forward to kiss my cheek sweetly and then to murmur into my ear, “Three.”

I loved the worst men.

“You’re so beautiful when you come, Hanna,” Kaelan murmured, before he kissed me, slow and tender. When he finally pulled away, his eyes locked onto mine. “Are you ready for us, Hanna? Ready for Thorne and me to be inside you?”

I nodded, my heart pounding with anticipation and desire. “I want you both. I need you both.”

Kaelan looked over my shoulder at Thorne, silent communication passing between them. Then he lay down on his back, pulling me on top of him. His cock pressed against my entrance, and I sank down onto him, taking him deep inside me.

I moaned, my head falling back as I adjusted to the sensation of Kaelan filling me. Thorne’s hands caressed my back, his mouth trailing kisses down my spine. I could feel his cock, slick with my juices, pressing against my ass.

“Easy,” Kaelan murmured, his hands cupping my face. “Just relax. Let us take care of you.”

I took a deep breath, my body relaxing into Kaelan’s touch. Thorne’s fingers traced the curve of my ass, spreading me gently. I felt the coolness of lube. Thorne’s fingers circled my tight hole, spreading the lube, preparing me.

“That’s it, Hanna,” Kaelan whispered, his hips moving gently, his cock sliding in and out of me slowly.” Just breathe.”

I took a deep breath, my body relaxing further as Thorne’s finger slipped inside me.. He worked me gently, stretching me, preparing me for more. Kaelan’s mouth found mine, his kiss distracting me from the initial discomfort, replacing it with a growing pleasure.

“You’re doing so well, Hanna,” Kaelan said against my lips. “You’re ready, aren’t you?”

I nodded, my body humming with anticipation. Thorne withdrew his finger, replacing it with the head of his cock, slick with lube. He pressed gently, steadily, giving me time to adjust to the new sensation. I gasped as he breached the tight ring of muscle, a sharp pain quickly replaced by a wave of intense pleasure.

“Oh gods,” I moaned, my hands gripping Kaelan’s shoulders. “Oh gods, Thorne…”

“Easy,” Kaelan soothed, his hands stroking my back. “Just breathe. Feel us both inside you.”

Thorne pushed in further, his cock filling me completely. I could feel them both, separated by a thin wall, their cocks sliding against each other through my flesh. The sensation was overwhelming, the pleasure intense.

“Move, Thorne,” Kaelan commanded, his voice rough with desire. “Fuck her with me.”

Thorne began to move, his thrusts matching Kaelan’s rhythm. They filled me completely, their cocks sliding in and out in perfect synchronization. I was lost in a sea of sensation, my body aching with pleasure, my mind overwhelmed by the sheer intensity of it all.

Kaelan’s mouth found my breasts, his tongue teasing my nipples, sending jolts of pleasure straight to my core. Thorne’s hands gripped my hips, his fingers digging into my flesh as he drove into me, his groans of pleasure echoing in the room.

“You feel so good, Hanna,” Thorne murmured. “So tight, so perfect.”

I could only moan in response, my body on fire, my orgasm building quickly. Kaelan’s hands found my clit, his fingers circling the sensitive bud. I was close, so close, my body tensing as the wave of pleasure crested.

“Come for us, Hanna,” Kaelan ordded, his voice hoarse with desire. “Let us feel you come around our cocks.”

His words sent me spiraling over the edge. I screamed their names as my orgasm tore through me, my body convulsing with wave after wave of pleasure. My inner muscles clamped down on their cocks, and I felt them both groan in response, their thrusts becoming erratic.

Thorne’s body tensed, and with a final, deep thrust, he came, his cock pulsing inside me. Kaelan followed suit, his hips bucking upwards as he emptied himself into me, their combined heat filling me, prolonging my own orgasm.

We stayed like that for a moment, our bodies entwined, our breaths ragged. Slowly, Thorne pulled out, his body trembling with the aftershocks of his orgasm. Kaelan gently rolled us over so that we lay on our sides, his cock still inside me, his arms wrapped protectively around me.

Thorne lay down in front of me, his dark eyes filled with love and satisfaction. He leaned in, kissing me softly, his hand cupping my cheek. “I love you, Hanna,” he murmured, his voice thick with emotion.

“And I love you,” Kaelan echoed, his voice a soft rumble in my ear. His hand traced lazy patterns on my hip, his touch gentle and soothing. “Probably a little more than Thorne. Or at least, a little better.”

“You’re a dick,” Thorne reminded him.

I smiled, my heart swelling with love and contentment. “I love you both. So much.”

We lay there for a while, our bodies pressed together, our breaths intermingling.

I was so happy in their arms, but there was one thing missing, and I was sure we all knew it.
