Epilogue

Juno

Five years later.

I was feeling like the proudest daddy in the world. Looking at my fully trained team, I couldn’t help but feel prideful and satisfied. Satisfied because I knew I did an amazing job with them. Our world was almost fully back to normal, magic wise, but we still found some comfort in visiting other worlds and learning about them. I wasn’t leaving anymore, but through my team I felt like I experienced it too. Now my latest team was heading out on their very first real adventure. If a tear escaped my eye, no one knew but me.

Nix came up and patted me on my shoulder. “We should get back home to our mates,” he said, smiling proudly at the team as they left through the portal, this one reaching a whole new world.

“We should,” I agreed, turning away from the portal and meeting his gaze head on. “Dinner at our place?”

He grinned, “deal.” Nix and his mate had moved in next to me and Remi, and on our other side Nolen and Derek had built their own house, connecting us together. Our mates had all bonded over the situation with their father, finding comfort in each other. Remi and Nix’s mate had gotten off to an awkward start, possibly because he was Remi’s old professor! But now they were like family. We all were.

Waving goodbye to Nix outside his home, and heading the last few steps towards my own, I couldn’t help but breathe in this feeling of contentment. Having Remi was like finding my other half.

“Are you coming in or?” I heard the amusement in Remi’s tone as he opened our door and smirked at me. He had sold his newest idea to the biggest tech company in our world, and they had offered him a permanent position there. He finally got his dream job, spending his working hours coming up with ideas and working with his own team on how to make it a reality with magic and technology.

I was so damn proud of him.

“Coming.” I grinned, closing the space between us and grabbing him into my arms. I loved my job, but being with Remi trumped all that.

“I invited the others for dinner tonight,” he said, closing the door behind us. “I figured you wouldn’t mind.” Sometimes it scared me how alike we thought.

“I already talked to Nix about it,” I replied, kissing him softly.

“Good. I guess that means Nix was there too?” Nix had his own team he trained, but since one of them got hurt during training earlier today, he’d been at the hospital helping out.

“He was. The boy is fine, but Nix wanted to wait until his parents got there.” Some parents lived further away and since we started training them at the age of eighteen, many still lived with their parents. We knew once someone found their mate they wouldn’t want to leave this world, so it was strictly unmated people we chose. We still had teams visiting Remi’s old world. There was a new mate occasionally, and since their biological father had actually done some sperm donations too, we couldn’t be certain when the sperm would run out. Nix’s mate hadn’t been a donor child but an unexpected pregnancy, from the woman’s perspective at least. We knew by now that there had been no accidents and that everything had been carefully planned and calculated by the man now in prison. So there would likely be more of those cases in the future.

I followed Remi into our living room, where we sat down and snuggled up together on the couch. This was our daily routine, pretending to watch TV while we talked about our day, before we would prepare dinner. It was perhaps a boring routine for some, but we loved our life exactly as it was.

“I’m working from home next week,” Remi said, his head resting on my chest as we watched our favorite reality show. “I need some inspiration for the next ideas to work on, so I might take some walks or something.”

“I’m off for a month if you want me to join you?” Sometimes Remi preferred to walk alone to truly clear his mind, and I respected that. I could easily find something else to occupy my time with before my next team started.

“I would like that.”

I smiled, brushing my fingers through his hair the way he loved it. “My dad wants to visit too.” We saw him once a week, so he wasn’t feeling neglected or anything. He had been somewhat disappointed that we weren’t going to have kids. We talked about it but it just wasn’t for us. Remi had voiced what I felt perfectly. That he’d been missing something for most of his life and now that he had found it, he couldn’t stand not being selfish with his time. I’d only felt that way since I’d turned eighteen, so I understood.

“He can come tonight too,” he reminded me. Our friends loved my dad. Nolen’s parents lived in another country, but Nix’s came over occasionally whenever my dad was here.

“I’ll text them,” he said, holding out his slate and typing out a message for both my dad and Nix’s parents, reading my mind instantly. We truly were in sync.

Remi’s slate was one he’d designed himself. It was lighter and waterproof, plus he’d added a few features the other slates didn’t have. I would get my own soon, Remi had assured me of that. I was so proud of him. My mate was this brilliant man that could come up with ideas so easily. I found it extremely sexy whenever he would talk my ear off about how his ideas would work and explain the process. He still seemed surprised whenever I asked additional questions. Knowing he hadn’t had anyone to share his passion with before, I knew it would take time to erase the negativity, but I was determined to succeed eventually. I did, after all, have forever on my side.

We hadn’t seen Remi’s parents since I put them to sleep. Remi thought it would be punishment enough to leave them guessing and never knowing if his biological father was alive or not. They probably feared he would return and get mad at them for losing Remi, but we didn’t care.

Remi had stalked Jason on his socials, making sure he was doing okay. He’d decided to message him, stating he still lived in Klumven, but could communicate with him once in a while. He just hoped Jason would never want to visit. They chatted once a month and I found that I liked Remi having a friend he could talk to back in his old world.

“He found his mate!” Remi’s excitement stole all my attention, and I looked at the screen. “ Portal Matchmaking ” had its first season, filming actors to reenact how we’d found our mates in Remi’s world. Some wanted to share their stories and others didn’t. We’d decided not to do it, Nix, and Nolen too. But I had to admit it was fun to see how it had turned out for others, even if they were actors.

“She’s running away too!” I laughed, knowing in this mated pair’s case that he’d run after her. “Why didn’t you chase me down and demand I love you?” I laughed even harder at Remi’s pout.

“You weren’t ready for that,” I told him, not for the first time. We’d shared both our sides of things and how we’d both felt whenever we’d seen one another and even talking about Hayley was easy now. She’d been a big part of Remi’s journey of self-discovery, and even though she had made mistakes that had hurt his feelings, she was still just human with insecurities and emotions too.

“Oh, I completely forgot,” Remi said, no longer laughing with me but more serious as he got up from the couch. I made a whining sound, not liking he’d left me until he opened his pants. Then I was totally fine with being left behind now. “Look!” He proudly showed off the top of his underwear.

“Is that?” I asked, feeling myself grow hotter as he slowly slid down his pants a little more, revealing the lace panties we’d created together with a designer. It was a business we kept secret from our friends and family, since it was our thing, and we would begin our online store soon.

“This is the first pair, finally finished and ready for testing,” Remi said proudly, still not showing me the whole thing. I needed the whole thing. Now.

“Let me see!” I complained, reaching for his pants, feeling desperate.

“Nope,” he said, smirking knowingly at me. “That is for dessert once everyone leaves tonight.” My eyes widened.

“You’re going to make me wait until then?” I couldn’t believe my own ears. Had he always been this evil?

“I am,” he replied, zipping up his pants and moving towards the kitchen. “If you behave, I’ll even let you tie me up.”

I had a boner that wouldn’t quit and just as I thought about ways to change Remi’s mind, the doorbell alerted us that the others had arrived. I looked down and begged my dick to stand down, promising it all the fun later.

Remi

I closed our front door and began to walk back to our kitchen. It wasn’t as big of a mess like I’d feared. As much as I loved hosting, cleanup wasn’t fun. We never allowed the others to help clean, it was our way of making sure they had fun while eating out and whenever they invited us over, we didn’t have to clean either.

I was getting ready to tackle the dishes when Juno cleared his throat behind me. I had a smile on my face as I turned to face him. I knew what he wanted. Dessert. I gasped as I took in his near naked body. He had found the other pairs of lingerie. Fuck me . He had picked out the black jockstrap we’d glamoured back in my world, and they were even sexier now. I closed the space between us and kissed him, holding his body against my own as I trailed my hands down his perfect body. I would never get enough of him.

“Cleaning can wait,” I rasped once we parted, then I tugged him back to our bedroom. I wanted dessert too.

I could feel Juno’s arousal for me, mixed with giddiness and excitement. I loved how his feelings were so open to me. It was freeing never having to guess how much he loved and wanted me.

“I want you to ride me,” he said, closing the door behind us. I was totally okay with riding him; I just needed him inside of me.

Juno was still the only one doing the fucking part. I had no desire to top, and I could feel Juno was fine being the only one that topped, not caring if he missed out on something by never bottoming. I knew he had a theory on why I didn’t want to top him, and since Hayley wasn’t a name we spoke when we were intimate, I never proved his theory right. I didn’t want to top Juno because I’d topped Hayley and somehow having done that with her would taint what we had together. I’d contemplated replacing my memories of topping her with new ones of me fucking Juno, but I actually liked bottoming. I felt cherished, looked after, and so pleased that I didn’t have to do much other than enjoy it. But whenever I rode him, I was the one in charge. He might be the one doing the fucking, but in those moments, I was the one bringing out the moves, controlling the pace, and I loved that too.

I had another surprise for him, which I showed off as I bent down on the bed, shaking my hips a bit to present Juno with the plug I had in. Having family and friends over while wearing a plug? I do not recommend it. But the feeling of pure lust, passion, and excitement that radiated out of Juno made it worth it. We were more comfortable together now, than we’d been when we’d first mated, having found whatever worked for each of us. And I apparently had a kink for teasing.

Juno came up behind me, slapped my ass, forcing the plug to move. I yelped, then moaned in pleasure as Juno slapped me twice more. “I love your moans,” Juno whispered into my ear, leaning over my body as his fingers worked the plug in and out of my hole.

“I’m ready,” I said, knowing Juno loved edging me.

He laughed. “But I’m not. I need to watch your ass swallow this plug a few more times.” Damn him.

When he was satisfied that I could take him easily, I stood and pushed him down, straddling his lap. “No more stalling,” I warned, removing his sexy jockstrap so it rested just underneath his balls. I awkwardly wriggled out of mine, needing to be able to move unrestricted, then discarded the plug and sank down on his dick, letting him fill me up completely.

“I’ll never tire of this,” I admitted, closing my eyes as I started to move, rolling my hips as his hands tightened on my hips.

“Me neither,” he groaned, thrusting up, unable to help himself. “Do you want to feel me for days?”

“Please,” I replied, resting my hands on his chest as I began to move up and down, moving faster as he met me with his thrusts.

Juno took the lube and coated his hand with it before slicking up my dick. I moaned, loving the feel of his warm hands on me, the way he stroked me perfectly as we moved together. He looked so handsome as he lay there, covered in sweat and a creased brow as he worked hard to bring me pleasure.

He moved faster, so I did the same, the slapping of our skin and our ragged breathing the only thing filling our bedroom. “Fuck me, baby,” I said, knowing he knew what I needed.

He flipped us over so I lay on my back, then he grabbed my legs and pushed them over his shoulders. I moved my ass to meet his dick as he pushed inside of me, fucking into me, taking my breath away as he claimed me.

We gasped and came together, our magic enhancing our pleasure as we felt what the other did. It was something we’d learned two years ago and now we did it without thought whenever we were close to climaxing.

Juno placed my legs back on the bed and snuggled into my side, placing soft kisses on my chest, neck and then invaded my mouth. It was a slow kiss, filled with love, passion and tenderness. It was everything I needed.

“Want to watch some reality TV?” he asked, once we could breathe more easily again.

“Always,” I grinned.

The End
