“You call the plays, Detective Bad Boy,” she murmured to Dagger. “Be my teacher again. Where do you want me?”

“The question is, what position do you still want to try, Cowgirl?” Dagger said in a growly baritone that was half his animal.

“What’s another one everyone ought to try?” she asked.

“Well, you liked what Bryce did so much, why don’t you try letting Hunter fuck your pussy from behind?”

She let out a soft, excited, “Oo.”

“I’ll get beneath you and take care of you while I wait my turn,” Dagger continued.

Serenity nodded, and a Dagger jumped onto the bed, flopping on his back like a kid. In one swift move, he lifted Serenity up and over him, so she straddled his hips.

“Bend down like you did for Bryce,” he commanded, and when she did, he kissed her slow and gentle. When they parted, he smiled and said, “Okay, that was just for me.”

She laughed and swatted his shoulder, then straightened just slightly, still on all fours, back arched and ass up, waiting for me. She was stunning. She was beauty incarnate. I’d crawl across deserts to reach her, but all I had to do tonight was get across that mattress on my knees behind her. As I made sure to arrange myself so I wouldn’tkneel on Dagger’s shins, I bent to kiss up her thighs and across her ass, taking hand and mouthfuls of her curves as I traveled up to her hair, coiling it around my wrist, not pulling yet.

“Is this all right?” I asked.

“Very,” she moaned. “Get it inside me, handsome. Make me cum hard.”

Make her scream our name, my jaguar demanded.

Lining up, I smacked her ass with my free hand and said, “You want it hard?”

“Yes,” she gasped.

I spanked her again, pulling back ever-so-slightly on her hair. “You’re sure?”

“Yes!”

I could see how wet she was, dripping down her thighs, and I felt my teeth grow. “Make me believe it. Beg. Say my name and beg me.”

“Fuck me hard, Hunter. Please. I need you.”

“Okay, baby.” Knowing Seb’s venom was still at work, I thrust inside her fast and hard, filling her, completely balls deep in one go. The enraptured cry she let out contained some semblance of my name, muddled by her sudden ecstasy.

As I thrust inside her, the words began to spill out. “Yes! Oh, fuck. Yes. Hunter, yes!”

Beneath her, Dagger ate hungrily at her breasts, his jaguar tattooed fingers caressing her clit. I could see the glow of its eyes through my half-lidded vision, but I mostly watched Serenity’s ass bounce with every thrust. I gave her hair an experimental pull, and her answering moan, and the way she pulsed around me encouraged me to maintain the soft, tugging pressure.

I could feel myself about to explode, caught up in her every move and sound, her soft, tight pussy caressing me just right.

“I’m gonna cum, baby,” I rasped at the exact moment she cried, “Mark me now! Make me yours. On my neck. Please, please. Rewrite my skin.”

As I came inside her, I curled over her back, and Dagger raised up beside her left shoulder. I could see the gleam of his teeth and felt mine prime themselves.

I sank my bite in the perfect divot between her neck and shoulder, leaving my mark across both, overwriting the scars of her past. And in my head, I heard both mine and Dagger’s jaguars echo the vow our human sides had taken.I am yours, and you are mine, forever.

Serenity’s spine twitched and trembled beneath me as she let out a long, low sigh, murmuring both our names. “I love you,” she told each of us. “I love you so much.”

I released her, my fangs retracting, and kissed behind her ear as I murmured, “I love you too, Serenity. More than anything in this world. Except perhaps our new family.”

Dagger, who’d been murmuring his devotion in her other ear, kissed her mouth and said, “My animal wants to mate with you to seal the bond. But I can tell him to fuck off if you’re too tired. We’ll have every day for the rest of our lives. He can wait one night.”

“No,” she whispered, kissing him between words. “I want to make love to you, slow and sweet. It’ll be the perfect ending.”

Seb approached the bed and silently held out a tissue for me to help clean the marks. They were already sealing themselves—a mate mark secreted a special saliva that passed on swift healing—but I wiped the minimal traces of blood, then kissed her shoulder before climbing off the bed next to Seb.
