MICAI

I push my legs harder, my heart racing as I run through the forest past the town and away from the academy. I head up through the mountains and forest that surround the area and make my way toward Mallyn’s secret spot.

I drive my legs harder, wanting to see how fast I could go and if I could outrun him.

But another part of me wants to find out what Mallyn will do if he catches me.

A shiver runs up my back with the thought. The look in his eyes moments ago made a heat creep up my neck and flicker at my core.

Mallyn and I had grown much closer lately. I could see the want in his eyes ... and the feeling was mutual. I want to taste him on my lips, wrap my fingers through his soft white hair and feel every inch of him pressed against me.

The heat between my legs grows as I hear a noise closing in behind me.

I turn back and find Mallyn running just a few feet behind me, the look in his eyes wilder and more primal. His beast must be pushing him too.

A shiver and a thrill run through me as our eyes meet.

He reaches for me, his hand brushing against mine before I twist to one side, never slowing my pace as he falls slightly behind me again.

A chuckle sounds out behind me, the noise a deep, husky sound that slides down my back and straight to my core.

I catch a knowing grin tilt Mallyn’s lips as I peer back before pushing forward again, managing to gain another couple of inches in distance over him.

I hear a growl ring out behind me as I move further up the forest’s terrain, with Mallyn’s favourite place coming into view.

I make it a few more feet before my foot catches on a loose tree root jutting from the ground and throws me off balance.

Mallyn takes that chance to grab me from behind, and we both go tumbling to the ground, his hands shielding my head as we fall.

We roll through the forest until we hit a large broken and mossy tree stump that stops our descent and brings our tumbling to a halt.

There are large, dense trees and shrubbery surrounding it on all sides, giving us cover from the rest of the forest and world with only the small space where we lay to move.

A beat passes as we try to collect ourselves, both of our gazes trailing up and down one another, making sure we’re both okay from the fall.

Then Mallyn’s eyes meet mine, his body flush against my own as my heart begins to pick up its pace. My gaze flicks toward his lips as my tongue slips out to wet my own.

And I quickly feel him grow harder near my thighs.

The heat between my legs begins to build further as his gaze grows more intense.

“Are you sure about this ... about me and my beast, Micai?” His hand slides down my side, a look of uncertainty in his gaze.

Was he doubting how I felt? Or was he worried about me fully accepting him and his beast like this?

But he should know how I feel. This connection and bond that we share and that I’ve felt with each of them. It’s one that’s continued to grow stronger with each passing day, and one I realise I don’t want to be without.

I want this, and him. I want them all. Well, except Creed.

I reach up, needing to ease the worry seeping into his eyes with my silence.

I brush my fingers along his cheek and through his hair, drawing him closer as my lips meet his. The kiss starts off soft and sweet, slow and tender, just like how our story began and how I first felt, our slight curiosity for each other.

I slide my tongue against his, exploring and tasting him, showing him how much I want him in this moment and how much my feelings have grown for him.

My right thigh slides up his side, wrapping around his leg as the kiss becomes more fevered. He meets my tongue stroke for stroke as his hand slides up to my waist, his body pressing into me further and showing me how much I’m affecting him.

I glide my hand down his shoulder and to his chest, falling lower and lower until I reach my target, my hand sliding across his hard length.

It sends a jolt through Mallyn. He shudders a breath before he pulls back slightly, his hand stopping mine as his heated eyes meet my gaze. “You’re sure?”

A grin tugs at my lips as I gently move out from under him and reach down, pushing my trousers off. Then I slide my hand up my stomach and to the hem of my top before pulling that off too.

“Why don’t you see for yourself how much I want you?” I lay back down beside him, feeling the heat grow slicker between my legs.

His eyes burn a trail up and down me before finally resting between my legs.

He pulls himself up, dragging his shirt off before discarding it on the forest floor, each perfect ab and toned muscle on display as his heated gaze turns to meet my own.

My breath hitches slightly as he leans down, placing his perfectly sculpted body on top of me, his lips quickly finding my neck before they kiss a trail down my body. The heat from his mouth on me has my anticipation building and core clenching.

His hands glide to my hips and latch under my panties on each side before sliding them down my legs and onto the forest floor.

He slides back up toward my thighs and wraps his hands around them before spreading them, placing a kiss to each side before quickly finding my core.

The first stroke of his tongue sliding through my folds has my hands digging into the ground beside me as my back slightly curves upward. The second has a soft moan leaving my lips and pushes my hips toward him, wanting the climax he’s promising me.

But he slides a hand onto my stomach, holding me in place while licking long languid strokes like he’s savouring every drop of me on his tongue.

The thought has my heart racing faster and the pressure between my legs building to new heights.

His tongue moves back and forth building a slow rhythm as my body goes taut. Then he finds that sensitive nub and begins nipping and teasing it as my hips begin grinding onto him, wanting my release sooner.

A small chuckle leaves his lips, and the vibration runs right through me, hitting straight to my core and adding to the building climax.

“Is this what you like, Micai?” He peers up from between my thighs with the sexiest smile I’ve ever seen stretching his lips. His tongue slides out and slowly wraps itself around my small nub before circling back and forth.

Another moan falls from my lips as I reach down and drag my hand through his hair, his tongue continuing to tease me.

The look in his eyes is sinful, knowing full well what he’s doing to me.

“Mallyn ... please ,” I beg, my body feeling too tight and sensitive and wanting its release.

He leans in, placing his whole mouth over me and begins sucking.

All the sensations become too much, and with one final suck and swirl of his tongue, I’m unravelling, calling out his name as my hips rock back and forth against his face, riding him through the orgasm.

I’m panting, my body still sensitive as he pulls himself up, licking me from his lips as he slowly undoes his trousers.

My eyes go straight to the dick he’s setting loose.

And fuck, if I thought Annex was huge, Mallyn is even bigger; he’s at least an inch longer than Annex and is as thick as Ezra. Mallyn was hiding a monster alright ... it was just in his pants .

He slides a hand up and down his thick shaft, pre-cum dripping down its thick head as his eyes trail down my body.

“I’ve seen this moment in my dreams hundreds of times, wanting to touch you and taste you.

But nothing could have ever prepared me for this .

..” He bends down to me taking my lips in his in a soft kiss before pulling back again.

“How good you taste, how sexy you look, how much I want to be inside you right now, Micai.”

A blush creeps into my cheeks. I don’t think I’ve ever heard Mallyn be so vocal before.

I want to hear more from him, but I can’t wait any longer to feel him.

I wrap my arms around him, pulling him closer as I take his lips in a searing kiss. There is no waiting anymore. I want him now .

There is nothing holding us back and no one around.

I had also taken a mid-contraception potion earlier in the week. It tastes like crap but lasts a full month, giving me protection for times like this.

Mallyn’s tongue swirls around mine, his hands falling beside my head as he rests his forearms to each side of me, his breath tickling across my cheeks as he moves.

I shift my hips slightly, feeling his dick grow bigger against me.

He positions himself over me until his dick sits between my thighs, his thick tip nudging them. I slide my legs open a little wider, giving him easier access as my anticipation builds.

He drags one hand down my body before taking his huge dick in his grasp, pumping himself a little before slowly dragging his tip toward my core and pushing gently inside. I instantly feel the thickness stretching me, my hips shaking as he continues to inch inside.

There’s a slight sting of pain with the thickness of him, but I push past it for the pleasure I know is coming.

Pressure builds in my core as he slowly moves deeper inside me, his breathing choppy as his hand digs into the ground beside me, controlling himself and moving slower than I’m sure he wants to.

Another long, slow push and he’s fully seated inside me, a feeling of being fully filled overwhelms me before he finally begins to move.

And fuck what a feeling it is.

My breath hitches as he pulls back, taking all that thickness and warmth with him before he thrusts back inside and slowly begins to build a rhythm that quickly has my orgasm rising.

My head falls back onto the forest floor below us, my hands reaching for his back, wanting something steady to hold on to and release me from the pressure growing heavy in my core with each thick stroke of him.

Sweat builds on my brow, my body going taut as his pace quickens, my hips joining him as we chase our release together.

His hand grips my hip, angling me upward toward him and his thrusts. And the new angle has him hitting that sweet spot that has me moaning his name and dragging my hands down his back. Probably leaving marks.

His pace quickens, pistoning in and out, the pressure building a bigger orgasm than my last.

I’m panting, my body shaking with each quick thrust as they grow rougher, only adding to the climax Mallyn’s promising. I can feel it ... I’m right at the edge, just a little more.

One last rough thrust and I’m coming undone beneath him; my toes curl, my hands and nails dig into his back as my body shakes and eyes see stars.

I call out his name as he follows me, a sexy and husky grunt leaving his lips as we grind through our climaxes together, our lips finding each other as we come undone.

As soon as the stars in my eyes clear and the orgasmic tremor leaves my body, I feel something else coursing through me.

Something light and warm, and familiar. It flows to every inch of me, every vein and limb, a feeling of belonging and affection wrapping itself around me as I wrap myself further around Mallyn.

I glance up at him, meeting his soft grey-blue eyes and see a reflection of the feeling I’m having staring straight back at me. A bond wrapping itself around us and weaving us tightly together. A feeling of complete and irrevocable love and loyalty coursing through me.

His arms pull me into his chest, his eyes glistening with emotion as his lips curl into a smile so dazzling it has me taking a sharp inhale.

“Every drop of pain and suffering I’ve stubbornly survived was worth it for this moment with you ... Mate .”

His words have a smile stretching my cheeks and tugging at my heart before I replay the last word again. Mate?

I peer into his eyes, the feeling and emotion in me growing only larger. And I understand exactly what he means without asking. This feeling and his gaze tells me everything I need to know.

“How ...” I ask, wondering how I had never sensed or realised it before.

He leans down, his head softly leaning against mine. “We’re Fated Mates, Micai. My beast knew long before even I did.”

A small grin tilts my lips. That’s why the big guy always seemed to favour me.

Mallyn and I are Mates. My chest swells with the thought, happiness surging through me.

Suddenly a thought hits me, my eyes widening.

Ezra is also my Fated Mate. That means I have two Fated Mates.

Fated Mates is something so rare in this world, and yet I’ve been granted two? How is this possible? Something so miraculous?

In this life, this second chance, the Gods have granted me not only men to love that love me back but Fated Mates ... pieces of my actual soul that complete me.

My chest rises further with emotion, and I feel a flickering thread growing thicker and stronger inside me. My and Mallyn’s bond.

My heart rate calms, an overwhelming feeling of love and affection surrounding me as I close my eyes and bask in his touch and the feeling of our connection.

“Micai,” Mallyn whispers softly before placing a gentle kiss on my lips.

“I should have known.” I open my eyes, Mallyn’s grey eyes so soft and loving as I reach up and palm his cheek.

“There was always a pull I couldn’t deny that always surrounded you.

I’ve always wanted more and wanted to know more .

.. even more so now.” I brush my lips against his as a grin stretches his cheeks, lighting his whole face up.

“We can spend the rest of our lives together doing just that, Micai. You, me, and my brothers. You’re ours.

Always and forever. Mate .” He leans in further, capturing my lips before wrapping my hips around him.

He then pulls himself up and off the ground with me as I reach up, running my hands through his hair, our tongues twisting and swirling around each other.

A soft grunt leaves his lips before he suddenly pulls back, his gaze meeting mine before he moves forward and brushes his lips down my jaw, to my neck and out to my shoulder. “You didn’t think we were finished, did you, Micai?” he whispers huskily in my ear, sending a shiver down my spine.

He pulls back slowly, meeting my gaze as I feel him harden between my thighs, a wicked grin stretching his cheeks. “We’ve only just begun.”
