Killian

I can smell blood, and I know it’s Dax’s and Dani’s. I hurry out of my room and find an equally worried Adonis in the hallway.

“Dax’s room,” I say sharply, my pulse quickening.

The two of us barge in to find Dax holding our unconscious mate.

“What the fuck happened?!” Adonis shouts. I go running to them.

“Calm down, you two. She is fine. I healed her. Give her a second.”

Dani stirs gently in Dax’s embrace, her lashes fluttering as she wakes up. When her eyes finally open, they light up with a radiant smile that brightens the room. She reaches up, her fingertips softly brushing against his cheek, tracing the contours of his face.

Nearby, Adonis sinks to his knees, overwhelmed, his face buried in his hands as he wrestles with mixed emotions.

Dani notices both of us in the room, the realization washing over her like a sudden chill.

With a swift motion, she rises to her feet, her athletic frame accentuated by just a sports bra and sneakers.

Shit. She is so beautiful. Even covered in blood, she is perfect. I can’t help but get immediately stiffened seeing her practically naked.

I take in a deep breath, trying to calm down my rock-hard cock. My body’s reaction to Dani is palpable.

“Adonis, hey,” she falls to her knees in front of him. “Hey, it’s okay. I’m perfectly fine. ”

“I smelled your blood… I was so fucking worried when I saw Dax holding you. I was… I can’t…

” Dani gently places a finger over his lips, shushing him softly, before pulling him into a warm embrace.

She wraps her arms around him, holding him close as if to shield him from the world, their hearts beating in sync as they share a moment of quiet solace.

“What the hell happened?” I ask whoever will answer me first.

“Dani got herself in a bit of trouble during her jog. Luckily, I was already on my way to her and was able to find her quickly because of our bond.” Dax assures me.

I approach Dax first, since Dani is crouched beside Adonis, offering him the comfort he desperately needs. She sits on her knees, displaying that perfect ass of hers.

“Here, let me help with that,” I say softly to Dax, my voice cutting through the tension in the room. Dax glances at me with his cocky smirk. I know he can smell my excitement.

I sit on the edge of Dax’s bed, the familiar creak of the old springs beneath me a reminder of countless moments shared in this space. “Now, lay down for me.”

As he complies, I shift my gaze at the wound that marred his skin, a stark contrast against the tan canvas.

My eyes linger on the jagged edges of the injury.

With a gentle wave of my hand, I summon the energy that swirls within me—an ancient force that has ebbed and flowed through countless lifetimes.

I can feel it building, a warm current that rises like a tide, eager to spill forth.

The magic flows out of my fingertips with ease from years of practice; each healing touch is a testament to the thousand times I have restored Dax’s vitality over the centuries.

It requires almost no energy from me, a wellspring of power drawn from the depths of my being as I channel it into mending both flesh and spirit.

In an instant, the wound begins to close, the skin knitting itself together like a tapestry mending its frayed edges.

Though we can heal ourselves, it takes time and effort, a dance of concentration that is often much more straightforward when applied to others.

It can be quite a challenge to summon that same power within oneself, and efficiency, in those moments, seems just out of reach.

“It’s okay, Adonis. I’m fine,” Dani says again, assuring him. Her face is stained with a mixture of hers and the shadowmires blood, and I can smell Dax’s faintly on her too.

I get up from the bed and make my way toward her.

As I approach, I gently place my hand on her shoulder, feeling the warmth radiating from her.

Her enchanting green eyes meet mine, shimmering like emeralds in the soft light of Dax’s room.

She lifts her delicate hand and gently captures mine, pulling it closer.

With a tender smile, she presses her soft, velvety lips to my palm, a sweet and intimate gesture that speaks volumes—an unspoken reassurance that she is truly okay.

“I was on a run, and then the mist started coming in. I knew bad shit was about to happen and tried to outrun it, but the mist played mind tricks with me.”

I grab a towel from Dax’s bathroom and hand it to Dani. “Thank you,” she replies as she stands up, wraps it around her waist, and then kicks off her shoes. Dani sits beside Dax on his bed while Adonis and I stand, listening to her.

Gods, she is fucking covered in blood… The only reason I know she is okay is because I can smell Dax all over her.

“I saw my dad… but it wasn’t him, obviously. And I started running and found a tree that I hid in. But the shadowmire found me, thanks to my self-inflicted stab wounds.” My eyes go wide, and she catches me. “I was running with a knife and fell, cutting myself. I didn’t actually do it on purpose…”

Dani shares the rest of the story with us. She tells us about Suzanna, not just this time, but also the time she saw her at work. Dani mentions that Suzanna has eyes similar to hers, and Adonis speculates that she might be a relative of Dani’s. I’ll definitely look into it .

I’ll do anything for her.

“I would like to shower,” she says.

“That sounds like a nice idea,” Dax interjects, a wickedly beautiful smile spreading across his face, his eyes sparkling with mischief.

“Good call. You two look like shit,” Adonis quips with a playful smirk.

He reaches out, gently cupping Dani’s face in his large hands, his thumb brushes softly against her cheek.

Leaning down, he presses his lips against hers, a tender moment charged with unspoken feelings that have Dax and me feeling like we are intruding.

As he straightens up, he meets her gaze, and for a brief instant, their eyes speak volumes—words unuttered yet profoundly understood. Adonis finally turns and steps out of the room with a reluctant nod, leaving behind a whirlwind of emotions.

“Alright… well, I’ll leave you to shower.” I turn to walk away, but Dani grabs my hand. “Stay. Please.” She bites her lower lip—gods, when she does that, she doesn’t know what it does to me.

“Gladly,” I say.

“I’ll get the shower ready,” Dax says. He walks down his hall, leaving Dani and me alone for just a moment. I grab her and pull her into my arms.

“I was so worried about you, sunshine. I knew Dax found you, but I still wanted to come to you too.”

She leans her head back so she can look at me. “Because of our bond?”

“Yes, because you are my mate, and our bond is complete. I will always be able to find you, even if it’s not in this lifetime. You will always be my mate, Dani.” I lean down and kiss her lips.

Her tongue slips into my mouth unexpectedly, so I deepen our kiss by grabbing her jaw and catch her bottom lip in my teeth. She moans in response, dropping the towel to the ground. She pushes me back up against the wall .

“I need you, Killian,” she pants.

“And I need you.” I smile at her, standing still, captivated by her.

She is breathtaking, a stunning presence that makes the world around us fade into insignificance whenever we’re together.

It’s as if time pauses, allowing me to savor her beauty and the depth of our connection.

Nothing else holds any weight—neither my wings nor the full extent of my powers can compare to the importance of her.

She is my sole focus, my heart’s desire, my mate, and nothing else matters but her.

“And I need you both to get your fine asses in my steaming hot shower,” Dax steps out from the hallway completely naked.

Dani now faces Dax. I grab her waist, pull her body against mine, and press my hard cock against her back. She throws her head back and makes the sweetest little sound.

I bend down and trail my tongue along her ear while my other hand slides slowly down her body. My hand reaches her warm pussy, and I circle her clit.

“You are soaked,” I say as my lips trace her ear.

“Always for you,” she whispers back.

I keep circling her clit as she faces Dax. “While I’m touching you, Dani, I want you to say Dax’s name as you moan.” I slip two fingers inside of her and start pumping in and out.

“Ahh! Yes,” she says as her head leans back on my chest.

I take my fingers out, leaving her disappointed. “Sunshine…” I make a disapproving click with my mouth. “When I tell you to do something in the bedroom, you do it. Or else you will be punished. Do you want to be punished?” I ask her.

Dax takes a few steps forward, grabs her sports bra and lifts it over her head, discarding it to the floor.

“Yes. Punish me.” I don’t have to see her face to know she is smiling.

Well al-fucking-right .

“Get your ass in the bathroom. Both of you.” Dax and Dani do as I say. I quickly strip off all my clothes, and by the time I get in the bathroom, Dani is standing in front of the mirror, examining her blood-soaked face.

“Hang on to the vanity,” I demand.

She looks at me curiously, and Dax leans against the wall, smiling while stroking his big dick.

“I said, hang on to the fucking vanity.” Her shocked expression turns quickly into desire as she leans forward, holding the edge of the bathroom counter.

“I’m going to spank you. Hard. And you’re going to count them, up to ten. If you mess up, we start over. Understood?” She bites her lip, and my cock twitches.

I grab her waist and pull her towards me more, so she is bent over. “Watch in the mirror,” I say.

Dax comes up behind me and starts kissing my neck. He reaches for my cock, giving me a few pumps, and then backs away again to watch.

Dani is so turned on right now I would be able to smell her from miles away. I’m surprised Adonis isn’t barging in right now to have his turn.

I wind up my hand and give her a nice smack on her perky ass. Her skin quivers. She jumps up, smiling. I raise my eyebrow at her, waiting for her to comply.

“One,” she says.

“Good girl,” Dax smiles.

I smack her again, this time with a little more force. She moans and arches her back. “Two.”

Satisfaction imbeds into me. Igniting my desire at the sight of her body showing it belongs to me.

I sink my fingers into her soaking wet pussy and slap her ass again. Her skin turns pink. “Fuck! Three!”

I pump in and out of her with force, feeling her pussy walls tightening around my fingers.

“Get to eight, and I’ll replace my fingers with my cock since you’re being such a good girl for me. ”

SMACK.

“Four!”

SLAP!

SLAP!

“Ah!” she whimpers, her pussy getting so close. “Five, Six! Yes, Killian!”

This time, I slap her so hard that my hand stings, and the sound crackles off the bathroom walls.

“Ahhh! Seven! Fuck… Dax, I want you in my mouth while Kil fucks me.”

Godsdamn was this woman fucking amazing. Dax catches my eyes in the mirror, and I nod at him, smiling.

“You never cease to amaze me, little dove.”

I twirl my fingers around, finding the spot that tips her over the edge. Just as I press down, I wind up and lay a hard blow to her ass. Her skin welts from being slapped in the same spot repeatedly.

“Yes! Fuck, yes, Kil! Eight!”

Dax walks over, and I reposition Dani. She grabs his hips and bends over, exposing herself perfectly to me.

“You are so fucking perfect,” I tell her as I grab her hair and pull her head back. I take my fingers out and push my cock deep inside of her. I give her a few hard thrusts and then let go of her hair so Dax can hold her head now.

Dani screams in ecstasy as I pound inside of her. She grips Dax’s hips hard, digging her nails into his skin and drawing blood. She spits on his dick and then takes him to the back of her throat, taking him as far back as she can.

“Shit. Dani. That feels so fucking good,” Dax’s eyes roll back as moans. He holds her hair tightly in his fist. I pound into her harshly, causing her to take more of Dax’s length, and gagging sounds fill the air.

SMACK!

I know Dani can’t respond with a mouth full of cock, so I give her one final blow. I pull out of her entirely and smack her ass so hard she cries out .

I slam back inside of her and fuck her fast.

“Ten,” Dax says with a wide grin.

Dax and I lean toward one another, giving Dani the complete Eiffel Tower, and start to kiss.

Dani’s screams are stifled by Dax’s cock, and her pussy makes wet sounds as I fuck her relentlessly.

We spill ourselves inside of her. Cum floods into her like molten lava as my entire body ignites with pleasure. A pleasure that is otherworldly ecstasy. Pleasure that surpasses beyond mere sensation.

“Don’t swallow my cum, little dove. Save it for Kil, he looks thirsty,” Dax says in a husky tone.

I pull out of Dani and watch my cum drip down her thighs. It is such a beautiful sight to see. It makes me want to possess her over and over again until she can’t be filled anymore.

I roughly grab her chin and place her lips on mine. Her mouth opens, and thick liquid spills from her mouth into mine.

Dax sucks in a sharp breath. “Fuck, this is so fucking hot. Both of you swallow,” he intones.

I swallow the salty taste gladly, as does Dani. Our tongues swirl around in each other’s mouths. She pulls away and looks me deep in the eyes, like it’s only us in the room, and says, “I love you, Killian. I have for a while now.”

My heart flutters in my chest. I wipe her mouth with my thumb and kiss her one more time.

“And I love you, Dani. More than life itself.”

“Hey now… what about me?” Dax jokes, sticking his full lips out in a pout.

“You know we love you. If we tell you too much, I fear your ego may get even bigger,” Dani says as she steps into the shower. Dax swats her other ass cheek, and she squeals with laughter .

Blood swirls down the drain. Dax and Dani are now clean, and the water running from their bodies is now clear. I watch them both with hungry eyes.

Dax catches my drift and says, “It’s my turn with Dani now.”

She bites her lip and looks at us both, standing in front of her.

Gods… the fucking lip bite.

I can’t hold back. I grab her by the back of the head and take that lip in my teeth and bite down, sucking her lip in my mouth.

“Time to put this beautiful mouth of yours to work, sunshine.” I push her head down so her mouth is right in front of my cock, and then Dax comes up behind her, positioning himself at her entrance.

Dax eases inside of her with a groan that matches Dani’s, sounding so fucking perfect.

We repeat exactly what we did a few minutes ago, but I get her mouth this time.

“Yessss,” I hiss as Dani takes me to the back of her throat. Having Dax fuck her while she sucks my cock creates the perfect rhythm.

I grab her wet hair, “Just like that. Fuck, yes. Give it to her, Dax.”

This was all I needed. “I love you both so fucking much.”
