There’s something on Bailey’s mind.

I can see it. Axel can see it. Hell, even the demons can see it.

She’s been more subdued, more somber, since we returned back to her dorm from the human sector to see her parents. I thought nothing could wipe the smile off her face that she’s had since the moment the blindfold came off. But something has and, as her mate, her first mate, it’s time to find out what it is.

“Well… I’m sacked.” I stretch my arms above my head, not bothering to pull my shirt down from where it exposes my abs. “We’re going to head to bed. We’ll see you guys in the morning.”

I sweep Bailey off the couch and into my chest, not giving her a chance to refute or fight me on this.

The nod Axel gives me tells me he knows exactly what I’m doing, and I’m confident he was thinking the same, I just beat him to it.

My goddess murmurs a quiet good night before laying her head on my shoulder, letting me take the lead.

Axel clicks the door shut behind us, blocking out the demons in the main room. It won’t stop them from listening to our conversation if they so choose, but I’ve come to realize that they’re respectful of Bailey’s privacy.

Bonus points to the demons. Not many, but a few.

I sit my beautiful mate on the edge of the large bed while Axel takes his time, moving around and closing the drapes on all the windows around the perimeter of the room.

She lifts her arms, hinting for me to help her out of the large hoodie dwarfing her small frame. Methodically, I slip her arms free, then pull it over her head, revealing the thin silk camisole underneath that does nothing to hide the pink of her areolas.

Damn. I drop the hoodie to the floor and bite my fist, stifling my groan at the picture of sexual innocence sitting before me.

My fingers twitch with the need to reach out and trace the tips of her breasts until her nipples peak under my touch, but I shake my hands out and stuff them into the pockets of my sweatpants, doing my best to hide my straining erection.

Later, I tell myself. After we find out what’s got Bailey looking so down.

Because this is so much more than just driving away from her parents in the human sector.

“Alright, goddess.” I kneel in front of her, peeking under the curtain of white hair shielding her face from my view. “Spill it.”

“It’s nothing,” she mutters, sliding back onto the bed to put distance between her and this conversation. But she should know we won’t let this go.

“It’s not nothing, cor meum .” The bed dips behind her, making her fall into Axel’s chest. “You should know by now that you can tell us anything.”

“I know. It’s just that… something Mom said earlier. It’s stuck in my head, and I don’t know what to do about it.”

“The most you can do is talk it out, goddess. We’ll give you our take on it, but ultimately, whatever you decide to do is up to you.” I tilt my head, a thought flitting through my mind. “Unless you’re thinking of leaving us. Then we’ll cuff you to the bed and pleasure you until you change your mind.”

She huffs a quiet laugh, leaning her head back on Axel’s shoulder. She didn’t say no, though, so I file that idea in my head for a later date.

“Mom… she mentioned other prospects,” she trails off, wringing her hands in her lap. “I’ve felt guilty as hell all week.” Axel and I share a look of concern but let her continue before jumping in. “I… I almost kissed Zane. There was a fire,” I raise a brow, “and he was trying so hard to make me food, and well… it just kind of… almost happened.”

Neither of us says a word, letting her work through this.

“There’s just something there with him…you know? Him and Bane. I just don’t know what it is.” She rubs at her chest like she’s trying to soothe her heart. “I like them. And I know it probably makes you guys mad, especially since I didn’t tell you earlier. But I swear, it hasn’t happened again.”

Our poor mate. We had no idea she’s been feeling like this all week, but that’s in part our fault because we’ve been busy dealing with all the other bullshit surrounding her.

“Take a breath, cor meum . I can speak for myself and Luka that we’re not mad. We knew you’d have more mates than just the two of us. We figured that out when you told us Hudson said you were his mate, and Luka is your fated mate also. So it’s only natural for your soul to be looking for all its missing parts—fated and chosen.”

“The vampire speaks the truth, goddess.” I slip onto the bed, sitting cross-legged in front of her. Not that she makes eye contact with me. My poor sweet mate is still beating herself up inside. “One more mate, or ten more, it doesn’t matter. You’ll know, without a shadow of a doubt, when you’ve collected all your mates.”

“Gods, Lu. You make it sound like I’m a collector in Pokémon . Ya know, gotta catch them all.” She snorts at her own joke, the mood around her brightening a smidgen from what it was before. “But you both are really okay with this? Me seeing where things go with the twins?”

“Of course, cor meum .” Axel kisses the back of her head, swaying her body softly in his arms. “We want what’s best for you, and if it means adding more to your harem, then so be it.”

“But make no mistake, goddess.” I grip her chin, demanding her attention. “We’ll always remind you who came first.”

“How?” Her voice comes out breathy, and the smell of her arousal permeates the room.

“Let us show you, mate. Trust us to take care of you and take you to new heights.”

“Okay.”

“Yeah?” I question with a raise of my brow. She agreed quicker than I thought she would.

“Yeah. I trust you both.” She looks between us. “With everything.”

My heart gives a hard thump at her admission. I knew she trusted us. Loves us even. But giving herself completely over to us and trusting that we’ll take care of her?

That’s the ultimate goal of a good mate.

It’s akin to complete submission.

“Take off your clothes, cor meum , and kneel on the bed,” Axel orders, taking control right out of the gate.

He slips up to the head of the bed, leaning against the headboard as she scrambles to comply, shedding the miniscule clothing she was wearing already, and kneels beautifully on the bed, presenting herself to our greedy eyes.

“Stunning, goddess. Truly worthy of the name I’ve given you.”

Her cheeks pinken and she drops her chin to her chest, hiding her reaction behind the mass of white hair that falls over her face.

That’s not going to work for me.

“You don’t hide from us, goddess.” I grip her chin, tilting her face back up. She turns even redder, and I kiss the tip of her nose. Adorable. “Now, on your hands and knees, beautiful. Show your mate how much you love his cock.”

Axel shoots me a look that says I’ll pay for stealing the control right out from under him, but this is my show. He led her first threesome, but this one is mine.

She turns toward him and grips his joggers, peeling them down until his dick springs free, slapping against his stomach. She kisses the head before finishing removing his pants, leaving him just as bare as she is.

“You know how I like it, cor meum .” Axel reaches forward, gathering her hair and curling it around his fist so he can be in charge of her movements.

Control freak.

With his free hand, he grips the base of his cock, holding it upright, and guides her down into his lap.

His head falls back, thumping the headboard as she licks a path from his fingers up to his tip before sucking it into her mouth.

Her soaked pussy is exposed before my eyes, her wetness glistening in the light from the lamp on her desk, calling me to taste her. But I can’t. Not yet.

I quickly jump off the bed and snag the lube I stashed in her desk earlier and shuck off my sweatpants, kicking them away.

When I rejoin them, Bailey wiggles her butt in my face, a silent invitation to have my way with her.

Fucking little tease.

I dive right in, latching onto her clit and stuffing two fingers inside her greedy pussy. She tries to scream as her walls clamp down on me, but her cries are silenced by the cock in her throat.

Our mate needs to come. It’s the only way to loosen her up before I even think about sticking something in her virgin hole. So I work my special brand of mate magic, anticipating what she needs, when she wants it faster, and when she wants me to alternate between fingering her and tonguing her hole.

In no time, her walls are fluttering on the verge of her orgasm.

Axel pops her head off his erection by her hair just in time for her arousal to hit its peak, and then she screams my name as she falls apart.

Hear that, vampire? That orgasm is mine.

I work her through the aftershocks, only pulling away and searching for the plastic bottle when she resumes sucking Axe off.

The lube is slippery between my fingers as I dump a generous amount on them, spreading it around to make sure they’re coated.

If I fuck this part up, there’s no way we’ll be moving on further. She’ll pull away, curl in on herself, and I’ll have ruined this experience for her and my best friend.

Carefully, I test the waters, rimming her asshole. The one orgasm should have been enough, but if it wasn’t, I’ll give her another and another until she’s ready.

She sucks in a choked breath but doesn’t shy away from me.

Excellent.

Next, I put pressure on her back hole before pushing in until my first knuckle.

Bailey cries out around Axel’s cock, and I worry for a moment that I’m moving too fast for what she’s comfortable with, but she doesn’t stop. My mate doubles down, sucking and slurping faster than she was.

I give an experimental thrust of my finger, expecting now when we’re going all in that she’ll pull away, that it’ll be too much. Only, instead, she pushes back, engulfing the entire digit.

One finger quickly turns into two, and I’m amazed at just how beautifully she’s taking this. Not once has she asked to slow down or stop.

“That’s right, goddess. Fuck yourself on my fingers.”

She rides me with ease, cute little noises escaping her mouth when I spread my two fingers, stretching her tight hole to ensure minimum hurt. I’ll never be able to live with myself if I ruin her first time doing this.

When I’m sure she’s ready, I pull them out and give her ass a light swat. “Climb on top of your vampire’s cock, goddess.”

She clambers up the bed until she’s hovering over him, a sultry smile on her face as she grabs his dick and positions him at her entrance. They both moan as she slides down until she’s flush against him, and a few rolls of her hips has Axel crying out beneath her.

“Lean forward, goddess, and hold still.”

She complies as I find the discarded lube on the bed, squeezing a good amount onto my hard length and giving myself a few pumps to cover every inch. It may be overboard as I squirt more on her asshole, but I’d rather it be too slippery and I slide out instead of not being enough and injuring her.

I know she can heal herself. But what kind of mate would I be if I disregarded her comfort under the guise of getting my dick in her ass fast enough?

A shitty one.

She watches over her shoulder as I notch myself at her puckered hole while Axel rubs soothing hands over her back, but she’s coiled too tight. Too worried about it hurting that this isn’t going to work unless she relaxes more.

“Just breathe, goddess.” My fingers sweep up some of the wetness around Axel’s cock, and I move to her clit, rubbing the throbbing bundle of nerves. “When I push in, push back on me, okay?”

“Okay.” She tenses as I start to enter her and she begins to stretch around me.

“You need to relax, cor meum . He’ll hurt you if you don’t. Then I’ll have to kill my best friend, and I don’t think you want that.”

My fingers continue circling her clit with Axel buried inside her pussy. He doesn’t move, content to wait until I can get seated inside her.

Finally, her body loosens, and I slip in further. She pushes back against me until there’s a pop and I slide past that tight ring of muscle.

“Oh gods,” she cries when my thighs meet the back of hers.

“Do you want to stop, goddess?”

“No. I just feel,” her breath hitches, “full. Oh gods, so full.”

I share a look with Axel over her shoulder, and he gives a nod, telling me to continue.

My movements are slow as I grip both of her hips and pull out, wanting her to get used to the feeling. It’s different for her. A new experience. She was a virgin when we mated, and I doubt she ever expected to be doing something like this.

When I push back in, Axel unhurriedly pulls out. Bailey cries out the change, but instead of tensing like I expect, she melts further into my best friend’s chest.

Fuck. My goddess was made for this. To take us both into her body at the same time.

We do it again, a little quicker this time. Her breathing picks up, and her walls clench around us, making me grit my teeth.

She’s going to embarrass the shit out of me here if we don’t speed this up.

“Faster,” my goddess moans, reading my mind.

Axel and I comply with her demand and get a seesaw rhythm going, giving her everything we got.

“So good. So good,” Bailey mutters, probably not realizing that she’s started chanting the words.

We pick up the pace, not enough to hurt her but enough that she’ll be feeling us days after.

She alternates between telling us to keep going and begging us to stop. But we know she doesn’t really want us to stop. She’s just too dick drunk to realize what she’s saying.

“Let go, cor meum ,” Axel whispers huskily in her ear. “I want you to come on my cock.”

“Oh gods. I can’t, Axe. I can’t,” she cries, clawing at the sheets beneath her vampire.

“You can, goddess.” I pump my hips, my thighs tensing.

She’s close. So damn close. I can feel it in the way she squeezes my dick, and it has my balls drawing up, my lower belly tightening.

Axel’s upward thrusts stutter, telling me he’s also barely hanging on by a thread. But like me, he won’t come. Not until she does again.

Showing my best friend some mercy, I find her clit and pinch it between my fingertips, and she shatters, taking us right along with her.

Her cries of pleasure echo around the bedroom and drown out Axel and I calling out her name as we bathe her insides with our cum.

One day, Axel and I will both take her pussy, and we’ll keep filling her until she’s round with one of our kids.

I groan at the mental image of her barefoot and pregnant.

So sexy.

She twitches between us but otherwise doesn’t move, too worn out, too used to do more than lay there and catch her breath.

“Are you okay, goddess?” I ask, worried I hurt her when she winces as I pull out.

“Yeah,” she mumbles sleepily, ending with a yawn.

“I’ll get her cleaned up,” Axel murmurs, sliding to the edge of the bed before slipping off and carrying our mate away in his arms toward the bathroom. They disappear behind the door, leaving it open in silent invitation for me to join them when I’m ready.

And normally I’m all for it, but the quivering of my thighs keeps me rooted on the bed, and Axel’s whispered praises tells me just how much he’s enjoying this moment of having her to himself for a bit.

The vampire sees her even less than I do, with how demanding his job is. He could give it up, easily, but I know how much my best friend loves law and following in his father’s footsteps.

Even then, if he truly did give it up, it wouldn’t change the fact that she’s stuck here at the academy, where I have a pass to easily come and go as the librarian, but he has no legitimate reason—other than being her mate—to be here. Not that their mating changes that. She’s still a student, and we’ve already been given concessions to stay here on the weekends.

But the weekends are all he truly has for now, so I can give him this.

Axel returns shortly after, our sleepy mate clean and curled into his chest. He gives me a silent nod in thank you, knowing what I did. But I’ve known him long enough to know that he’s thanking me for more than just the short time in the bathroom alone.

He’s thanking me for sharing my mate with him. For allowing him the happiness only she can give him. But he should know by now that I’d do anything for him. He’s much more than my best friend. He’s my brother in everything but blood.
