“I’d happily form the bond with you today,” Luca responds.

When I whip around to stare at him in shock, he gives me a smile and shrugs.

“We all know that tomorrow is going to be dangerous. I don’t want to die not having the opportunity to mate with you.

And I don’t know what power you could siphon from me, but maybe having access to it could help you. ”

“You’re not fucking dying, wolf boy,” I growl at him, daring him to argue with me.

He raises a blond brow. “I’m certainly not planning on it, wildcat.

But we both know that tomorrow will be the most dangerous day of our lives.

You could lose me or… I could lose you.” He breaks off, his voice sounding choked up.

“I’m just saying I would be happy to bond with you today, but that’s ultimately your choice. ”

I wish I could refute what he said. I wish I could say that all of us will make it through this alive. I wish I could promise that everything will be fine. But I can’t.

Life, especially the wild one I’m living, is too short to wait on things you want with all your heart.

And I want this bond with Luca more than anything.

Gathering all the courage I have, I hop up from my place on the sofa.

I walk over to Luca and climb onto his lap and straddle him.

I lean in to press my lips to his, hoping he knows what to do next because I’m all out of moves.

Luca takes control of the kiss, tangling his hand in my hair and tilting my head the way he wants. He slips his tongue into my mouth, dueling with mine as we both get lost in the kiss.

“Do you want us to stay or leave, sweetheart?” Bishop’s voice, dripping with lust, rasps in my ear.

Tearing my lips away from Luca’s and turning my head to the side, I come face-to-face with Bishop. He’s close enough I could kiss him if I lean a little farther. Moving to do just that, I realize he asked me a question.

Blowing out a breath, I try to get my brain to concentrate on something that isn’t kissing my mates. When I can focus, I know what I want, even though I feel embarrassed to admit it. I need this connection with all of them before we fight for our lives tomorrow.

“Stay,” I whisper so quietly, I don’t know if they can hear me.

The way Bishop’s blue eyes darken tells me that at least he was able to hear me. “Okay, baby. We’ll stay.” He leans back without touching me, trying to respect that it’s my time with Luca.

When I turn back to Luca, he looks intrigued by my wanting the others to stay instead of outraged or disgusted. He doesn’t give me much time to dwell on it, though, because he hikes up my dress and rips off my undies, letting them flutter to the floor beside us.

I gape at him. “What is it with you and ripping my panties, wolf boy?”

He gives me a big grin and a shrug. “It’s easier than taking them off.”

I open my mouth to say something else when he shoves a finger into me. All that comes out is a breathy moan.

Before I can really adjust to the first, he adds another. Wet noises echo around the room as he pumps into me, his thumb brushing my clit on each stroke. When he adds a third finger, I come apart with a gasp.

Before I can even come down from the orgasm, Luca lifts me up and positions his cock at my entrance.

He thrusts in past my still-rippling walls, his grip on my hips the only thing keeping me steady.

When he’s fully seated in me, he groans against my neck.

“I doubt I’m ever going to get used to how fucking good you feel, wildcat. ”

“I doubt I’m ever going to get used to how massive all of you are,” I pant as I try to adjust to his girth that steals my breath.

He chuckles before he starts snapping his hips, thrusting deep and hard. I throw my head back at how good it feels, and my gaze connects with a glowing purple one. Legion is watching us hungrily, like he wishes it were him underneath and inside me instead of Luca.

Luca notices me watching Legion as he watches us. “You want your other mate you haven’t bonded with at the same time, wildcat? You want to be a good girl and take us both?” He moves one hand from my hip to trail his fingers between my ass cheeks.

My eyes widen, and I clench down on Luca at that thought. He swears under his breath and digs his fingers into my hip, like he’s trying his best to hold back from fucking me as hard as he can.

Realizing he’s waiting for an answer, I bite my lip as I debate what to say. “Yeah. I want that. But I don’t want to do something you’re not okay with.”

He lets out a low chuckle. “I wouldn’t be offering if I wasn’t okay with it. Strangely enough, it doesn’t bother me or my wolf to share you with your other mates. Giving you pleasure is pleasurable for me. So, if you’re into taking both of us at the same time, then I’m into it, okay?”

I nod, not sure I believe him but wanting it too badly to argue with him. Glancing over at Legion, I see him still rooted firmly to his spot on the sofa. “Do you want that, Legion?”

Like my words were the permission he needed, Legion bolts up from his spot and stalks over to me. He leans down to rasp, “I’d love nothing more, mate. As long as this is what you want, then I want it.”

“I do,” I confirm in a shaky voice, really not sure what I’m getting myself into here.

Luckily, Luca and Legion seem to know what they’re doing. Luca lies down on the now-empty couch on his back, still inside me. His hands on my hips position me on my hands and knees over him.

Once I’m settled, I feel something cold drip onto my ass. I flinch at the sudden chill, but Legion’s hand on my back settles me. When he starts pushing a finger inside, I tense up. “Easy now, mate. You have to relax and let me in.”

Blowing out a breath, I do my best to relax all my muscles. When I do, his finger slips inside. I hiss at the feeling of pressure, but, after a few thrusts, it slowly starts turning into pleasure. By the time he has three fingers in me, I’m squirming and pushing my ass back for more.

Legion withdraws his fingers and presses on my back for me to lie down flat on Luca.

I do as he wants. Before I have time to look over my shoulder at what he’s doing, he’s replacing his fingers with the head of his cock.

I wince as he pushes in because his dick feels so much bigger than his fingers.

“Breathe, wildcat,” Luca encourages in my ear.

I take a few deep breaths and relax again. Legion enters me slowly, inch by inch, until he’s fully seated in my ass. I gasp at how incredibly full I am. I’ve never felt so full in my life, and I don’t really know if I can handle it. It feels like way too much and not enough at the same time.

I bury my face in the crook of Luca’s neck as I try to adjust to the feel of both of them inside me. The overwhelming feeling of being stretched past my limits gradually fades until I need them to move more than I need my next breath.

“Move. Please,” I gasp out.

Not needing me to ask twice, Luca and Legion start moving in sync so that I’m always filled by one of them. With Luca under me and Legion on top of me, I can’t do anything other than take what they want to give me, and I love every minute of it.

When a shadow falls over me, I tilt my head to look at what it is. I’m surprised to see Cain standing there, staring down at me with a hooded red gaze. “You up to taking another of your mates, angel?”

It takes a moment for my sluggish brain to understand what he’s asking.

When I do, I’m nodding my head vigorously before I can string a sentence together.

If I could find a way to take all my mates at the same time right now, I would.

I crave closeness with all of them before we fight for our lives tomorrow.

Legion helps me back up onto my hands and knees. Cain pulls out his cock and brings it to my lips. I open my mouth, and he pushes in with minimal resistance.

Cain pauses his movements to stare me down, his face serious. “Tap my thigh if you need me to stop, okay?”

I nod my head the best I can with a dick in my mouth.

Cain tangles his hands in my hair, controlling the pace. He groans as he thrusts shallowly in my mouth, carefully pushing slightly deeper each time. When my nose brushes his pubic bone, he stays there for a beat before pulling back and doing it again.

My head feels a little floaty as I struggle to breathe around Cain’s massive cock shoved in my mouth, but I like it. It makes the real world and all the problems there feel so far away.

I lose myself in the three cocks working themselves in and out of my body, surrendering myself completely to my mates and trusting them to take care of me. They murmur words of encouragement, pepper me with kisses, and stroke me lovingly as they drive me closer and closer to the edge.

Before I know it, I’m hurtling into an orgasm with a scream muffled by Cain’s dick. As the waves of pleasure are washing over me, Cain groans my name before coming down my throat. I don’t have much choice other than to swallow it all, not like I would choose differently if I could.

When Cain pulls out, he bends down to kiss me. When he tears his mouth from mine, he rasps, “You did so good for me, angel.”

His sweet words have me clenching down on my other mates. Luca throws his head back and lets out a low moan. Legion growls behind me and his hands spasm on my hips.

When Luca opens his eyes, they’re glowing a faint amber of his wolf. “Are you positive you want this bond? Because I’m not going to last much longer, and when I come, I’m going to bite you.”

I huff and roll my eyes. “Yes, wolf boy, I want this bond with you.”

“Thank fuck,” he hisses, but he still doesn’t move.

“And you wish to have the bond with me?” Legion asks hesitantly. “I do not want you to rush into this, mate. While I am all in, I understand this has all moved fast for you. I will not be upset if you only wish to mate with your wolf.”

“Yeah, I do want to mate with you,” I tell him in as steady of a voice as I can manage, not wanting him to doubt my certainty.

He thrusts his wrist in front of my face. It has a gash on it that’s welling with blood. “If you desire to mate, you need to drink my blood, and I need to drink yours.”

I crinkle my nose as I contemplate consuming blood. “That… doesn’t seem hygienic.”

He huffs a laugh. “Perhaps it is not, but that is the way my kind mate. You do not have to complete the bond.”

I sigh because I do want to mate with him.

It’s crazy, and I should be way more wary of him.

But a part of my soul cries out for his, and I’m tired of denying it, with him and my other mates.

I just want all of us to be together and have our happily ever after.

I know mating with them won’t create that, but it’s the only thing about our lives I can control right now.

Bucking up, I dart my tongue out and lick up some of his blood. It’s kind of gross, but I don’t have time to dwell on it because Luca and Legion both start moving again. They drive me almost to the edge when both of them bite into opposite sides of my neck at the same time.

The pain turns into white-hot pleasure as my magic bursts out of me and slams into them.

The force of two bonds being created at the same time has me coming with a scream as I experience the most intense orgasm of my life. My vision whites out as I can’t see or hear or feel anything but the pleasure.

I vaguely hear Luca and Legion groan and feel them coming inside me, but I’m too lost in my own climax to pay attention to it.

When I come down from my high, I feel a sense of completeness and wholeness that I’ve never experienced before.

Something inside me feels settled, and my magic feels even stronger than before.

As I lie on Luca’s chest, trying to catch my breath, he cups the back of my head and whispers to me, “I love you, wildcat.”

“I love you too, wolf boy,” I choke out past the lump in my throat as it hits me how damn much I love all my mates and this little family we’re building together. I reach my hand back to touch Legion. “I love you, too, scary boy and sunny boy.”

If scary boy isn’t a fitting name for Legion, I don’t know what is. He’s terrifying and deadly and imposing. But he’s also soft and loving toward me, showing me a gentleness I would’ve never thought him capable of.

He rests his forehead against my upper back as he rasps, “I love you too, mate. So much more than I could ever express to you. I know it has not been long, but it was impossible not to fall in love with you. And your pup loves you, too, with everything he is.”

Levi, Bishop, and Cain all come to kneel on the floor next to us, each of them resting one of their hands on me. I turn my head to face them. “I love you, St. James, screech owl, and quiet boy.”

They chorus their love for me, and just for this moment in time, everything feels perfect and right and how it should be.

Tomorrow, I know nothing will feel okay.

But right now, I’m going to hold on to this moment as tightly as I can and hope it helps me get through everything I have to do tomorrow to keep this little family of ours safe.
