I woke in a haze of pleasure.

“Just gently stroke her. Yep, just like that. Long sweeps of your hand.”

Mm… I felt that—a persistent, warm presence, passing over my body, waking up every cell, every nerve ending in its wake. Instead of a rude shake to the shoulder or a barked, “Get up!” I was coaxed, seduced into waking up with every caress.

“She’s so beautiful.”

“I know. Hits you hard, doesn’t it? Pretty sure that won’t change.

I’m still struck dumb each time I see her, but like this?

Those tits begging to be squeezed, impudent little nipples beading tight.

” A hand moved across one, making me frown lightly, then shift on the bed as another hand went to my ankle, pulling it outwards.

“But this is the Holy Grail. Look at her, how wet she is.”

“Fuck!” The hand began to move more restively, arrowing down.

“Not yet, not now. Not until she’s awake. We don’t know her well enough to be sure she wants that, but you could tease the skin here.”

Fingers trailing over the extremely sensitive skin of my inner thigh, a low chuckle coming from one of them as my hips flexed in response.

He was right—I was wet and getting wetter.

The other hand followed his lead, tracing circles on my other thigh until the resulting needy feeling had my eyes opening.

There they sat, Axel and Shade, two dark figures with hungry eyes.

“There she is,” Axel said with a smile. “We’ll need to get up soon. It’s mid-afternoon, and we need to see Flora. She’s been quite insistent.”

“Soon?” I asked, my lips falling open as his hand slid upwards.

“It’s why we wanted to wake you up a little early. You need your sleep, but you also have other needs that should be satisfied. Both of you do.”

I felt it, the moment when Axel’s knuckle slid through my slick folds, making me squirm in response. It was a blunt, shallow stroke, making me want more, but he pulled his hand away and then offered the finger to Shade.

“I… I’m not into guys,” he replied.

“I’m not asking you to suck my dick, and if that’s the case, I won’t offer to suck yours, but your mouth has been watering since we got in here, wanting a taste of her.” Axel moved his finger closer. “So taste her.”

A low groan escaped me as Shade took the other man’s hand in his, his tongue flicking out to cautiously lick the knuckle.

“Nice huh?” Axel said as Shade’s fingers tightened, as he began to suck the joint clean in earnest, but Axel turned back to me. “You’ll need to eat, shower, and get dressed before we go, but you also need to be pleasured.”

“I think we both need that,” I said as I looked down at his naked body, seeing that truly impressive cock rigid against his stomach. “Come here.”

“This is about you,” Axel insisted.

“This is about us,” I said, pushing right back, not looking away until he shuffled closer so I could run my hand up and down his thigh, then I turned to Shade.

“What do you need?” I asked the other man, seeing him let go of Axel’s hand, that thick black hair falling back over his face. Shade raked his eyes up and down my body before meeting my eyes.

“You. I need you.”

Then he scrambled forward, until he was on his hands and knees, partially covering my body, but I reached up, stroking that long hair from his face, and then cupped his cheek.

“And what does that mean? Have you ever touched someone sexually before me?” He shook his head. “And you said no one’s touched you. Maybe we should take things slower?”

“You didn’t say that when you took my dick down your throat,” Shade replied, looking up and staring into my eyes. “Don’t I have a say in how fast things go?” He reached out slowly, then rubbed his hand down the side of my hip. “Unless you don’t want…?”

He didn’t finish the sentence, sitting back on his heels, as if considering that possibility for the first time, but I had an answer for him.

I moved my legs apart as far as I could, revealing the evidence of what I wanted.

He just stared, looking at my cunt like it was Charles’ chocolate cake or something, his tongue swiping across his bottom lip.

“I want.”

“I want too,” he rumbled back, his voice hoarse as his beast rose to the surface, his eyes bright green. “I want so much.”

So he bent over, and when he moved close enough, I tangled my fingers in his hair. It felt like raw silk in my fingers, and when I tightened my grip in his hair, he leaned into that, his eyes fluttering shut.

“You like that?” I asked, realising we might need to do this more than the others, as we had so little connection.

“I like you.” Those amber eyes met mine, burning into them as he dropped his head, forcing me to let go or really hurt him. “I like your taste, and I want more.”

There was something unguarded and unschooled about his responses that I liked very much.

“Do you want advice?” Axel asked carefully, but Shade just shook his head. “Then make our girl feel good, real good, because I have a feeling today might be a tough one.”

My focus shifted to him for just a second, so I missed the moment when Shade’s mouth touched my skin, but Axel didn’t.

There was something terribly tender and sweet, almost pained in his expression, as I jolted, feeling a very firm tongue slide over me, leaving me shivering in response.

I wasn’t sure how much finesse Shade was using, but he more than made up for it with enthusiasm.

He seemed determined to lick and suck every inch of me, tasting me, and then, when he caught what made me twitch, zeroing in on that.

“Fuck, Shade…” I hissed as he thrust his tongue inside me, pulsing it in and out in a way that I craved, yet it was not enough.

This was soon rectified, his fingers replacing his tongue as that moved onto my clit, covering it with the flat and licking over and over.

My thighs spread wider, letting him go deeper, and he made every use of that concession until Axel tipped my head forward.

“Looks like our boy knows what he’s doing.

You like him licking your hot little cunt?

” He wouldn’t let me go or look away until I nodded my answer, but he smiled when my lips fell open, his thumb going between them.

“I think you want more. That’s why you drew me closer, not just to listen to your sighs as he gets you off, because you want this. ”

He reached down, tugging his rigid dick, my eyes following every stroke as my mind was captured by Shade’s movements.

Axel seemed to know the exact moment to move forward, my head tipping backwards on automatic, and his thumb pulled free, the head of his cock replacing it.

My legs spread as wide as they could go, needing the ravening hunger of Shade’s mouth as I devoured Axel’s cock.

“Oh, baby…” Axel hissed, moving slightly deeper until I reached back and dragged him in. The angle I was in had him straddling my face, my throat opening right up, allowing him to go deep. “Fuck, Bec, I’m not gonna last. You feel so good, love.”

He kept mumbling sweet things as I sucked him off, stroking my face as best he could, then sliding his hand down to reach for my breasts.

I arched up into Shade’s face, his hands going under my hips, his grunts of pleasure reverberating through me, but it was mine through Axel that brought him undone.

I was close, so fucking close, Shade’s tongue a blur now, his fingers pistoning in and out of me, ignoring the flutter of my cunt and the twitch of my hips, powering through my reactions until he brought me to this.

My eyes snapped open, a long muffled groan vibrating through Axel’s dick, making his face crease in almost pain.

“Coming, love…”

I swallowed frantically as Axel emptied himself in me, my hands moving restively over his skin, stroking him through it as I did the same. Shade was dogged, riding the jerks of my hips and licking and sucking until a beautiful raincloud of pleasure burst over me, making every cell sing.

When we pulled apart, it was softly, gently, with the kind of tentativeness the injured use.

Shade fell back onto his heels, wiping his face with those big hands, then sucking his fingers clean.

He looked like a lion that had devoured its prey, but this antelope?

She wasn’t feeling so bad about the outcome.

As we watched his chest heave and his eyes blink, as if he couldn’t believe what had just happened, Axel nudged me.

“Your boy, he needs you.”

And he did, Shade’s face growing wary as we both stared down at his thick, hard cock.

“It’s OK,” he said. “I just wanted…”

“No one will make you do anything you’re not ready for,” I said. “If you just want a cuddle afterwards or want to take care of that yourself, that’s fine. There’s no judgement here.”

Shade’s eyes flashed green as they slid down my body and between my thighs.

“Or if you want something else, just ask. There’s no guarantees you’ll get it, but there’s no harm in asking.”

His gaze slid up, meeting my eyes.

“He wants you, Bec,” Axel said, rubbing my shoulders when he lifted my head and put it in his lap. “We all do.”

I looked back at him, reaching up and tangling my fingers in his hair, and smiled, for the first time in forever, feeling free to say what was on my mind.

“And I want you, both of you. All of you. It’s only been a short period of time, but…” I thought about it, about getting in a car and going back to the roadhouse, to my old life, and it felt like someone slashed my chest with a knife. “I can’t imagine life without you.”

“Because we’ve lived this life before.”

Our focus snapped back to Shade at his strange words.

“You’ve seen it, Oemis?” I asked, and he just nodded.

“We were together, all of us,” he said. “We were, are a pack.”

He speaks truly , my Tirian said. I told you this. This is home.
