Oleander

L ast night, after another sweet, caretaking bath from my mates, where they washed me and cuddled me and cooed at me, I curl up in what I now consider ‘our’ bed, one to either side of me. Kai at my back, radiating heat in the crisp room—because Lo insists on cracked open windows no matter the temperature apparently—and Lo pressed to my front. As I drift to sleep, feeling more at ease than I have in my entire life, I come to a decision. Something flickers inside me as my eyes close.

WHEN I WAKE, LO AND Kai are showering together. I smile, hearing their low voices echo out of the bathroom. Arousal curls inside me and I’m tempted to rub one out to the sounds of their laughter and teasing. Memory of the decision I made last night hits me anew and I grimace. They are not going to take it well.

I sit up in bed, tugging the thick blankets into a little nest around me and grab my next EarthSea Chronicles. I let myself fall into that world, and for awhile, everything around me disappears.

I jerk, eyes flicking up as I gasp. It’s Kai, just pinching my toes over the covers. He takes in my face and shakes his head. “I’m sorry baby,” he starts.

“It’s fine. I was just sucked in,” I smile.

Lo comes out of the bathroom, rubbing a towel in that shaggy dark hair of his. I smile at him too.

I close the book but don’t move from where I’m at. “We need to talk.”

Best to just get it out there.

Lonan grits his teeth. “Nothing good has ever come after that phrase in the history of Faery. Human world, too, I imagine.”

I roll my eyes, to Kai’s adorable growl. I squirm a bit. The way Kai had taken control last night had been absolutely intoxicating. I force myself back to the matter at hand.

“I’ll marry the Larkstead.”

“What? No,” Kai almost yells.

At the same time, Lonan grunts, “Absolutely not.”

I glare at them both. “Yes. It’s the only solution.”

They again start up but I cut them off, “I was not asking permission.”

The two of them exchange a glance but I forge ahead, “It is the obvious solution. Yes, we will need to reveal to them my existence. I’ll swear it in front of their soothsayer. But they will be our allies. And I’ll marry the son of theirs of my choosing. And,” I press myself up, crawling across the bed toward them, “I will not be giving up my spirit mates.”

They both make noises of need as they watch the sway of my breasts within my nightgown.

I snarl, “You are mine. Both of you. No one else is to touch you but me. I won’t give you up. Not for my throne. Not for vengeance. Not for anything. Nothing is worth more than the two of you. Do you hear?”

They both gaze at me, the love in their eyes crystal clear. My mates. My men.

“We needn’t tell the Larkstead of us being spirit-mates. The old Ordinances say that a spirit-bond supercedes a hand-fasting of the Lord and Lady. It must be allowed.” I sit back on my haunches, nearly touching Kai and Lo. I look down and both are hard and ready for me. Fuck. I want them. I want to fuck them so badly. I shake myself. I cannot become pregnant.

I take a deep breath, nervous trilling through me. “Let us accept the bonds, my mates.”

They both lurch towards me, hands suddenly upon me, lips touching me, my body being gently pulled to them. I grin, my fingers digging into each of their heads of hair.

I let my eyes slip closed, my trust in them complete, as they kiss and touch me gently. When they finally pull back, I find myself straddling Kai, Lonan behind me, his hands upon my waist.

“Truly?” Kai asks, the fragileness clear in his tone. Their eyes both bore into me.

“Yes, please,” I whisper, and even I can hear the need in my tone.

They both purr and Lo turns to stride out into the entry. Kai’s lips press chaste kisses to my face. I can feel his... satisfaction, perhaps, through the bond.

Lonan returns, a gleaming knife in hand. I take a deep breath, knowing what the ritual requires but still a bit unsettled.

“You’re quite sure, Ollie?” Lo asks quietly, “There is no going back.”

I nod decisively. “Yes. Absolutely.”

“Get naked,” Kai orders seriously.

I stretch up to my knees and unbutton a few of the pearls at the top of my gown, tug it up and off. I kneel naked before them and they both make incredibly hot noises of approval.

They stand as one and their towels drop. They are both long, hard, and ready and I close my eyes on the sight.

“Where?” Lo’s voice is thick with need.

“Me first,” Kai interrupts. He palms his hard cock. “My mark from my heart bond is on my wrist, but I would like yours here, opposite Lo’s tattoo. Your claim belongs here, princess. Where your blood marked our first time.” He grips and angles his cock out, exposing the unmarked side to me.

Well, if hadn’t already been wet, I would be now. I realize this makes us both a little unhinged but I don’t give a shit. I love the idea.

Lo holds out the long dagger to me, which I take. I turn it and look up to Kai. He nods solemnly, trustingly. I drag the tip against the side of Kai’s thick cock. I need to cut deep enough for it not close while we are still doing the ritual. My General doesn’t even flinch, just watches me with devoted eyes. As I pull the end of the blade back, I watch the blood well and begin to drop onto his fingers holding his cock below the wound.

I turn to Lonan. He lets out a chuckle. “Not on my dick, sweetheart, that’s for fucking sure.”

I grin and he leans forward. “My neck, little Queen. Visible even when fully dressed.”

Leaning into him, I draw the blade down his neck, satisfied.

“Now you,” Lonan says softly.

I nod. “My calves.”

They both look at me oddly so I explain, “I hate the scars upon them. Those will never fade but if you can each put your mark over one of them... well, I won’t hate the sight of my legs.”

I can’t interpret the looks they give me but Lo takes the blade and cuts down the outside of my right leg. It is exceedingly sharp so the pain is minimal, welling up in a line of fire after the blade passes. He hands the dagger to Kai, who does the same on my left. Lo swipes some blood from his neck as Kai does to his cock, touching each other’s wounds in a re-affirmation. Seeing it makes gentle affection fill me.

They position themselves to place their wounds against mine. I lean back onto my back, elbows bent so I’m propped up. Kai’s cock and Lonan’s face are against my legs. Kai’s eyes are upon my face while Lo kisses the top of my foot. They hold still for several heartbeats, silent, as our blood mingles, pumped out by our hearts. Then, as one, the right themselves, drag their fingers over my wounds and offer them to each other. I let a little whimper of need escape me.

Kai turns to me, smiling, “Don’t worry little one, we didn’t forget you.”

They swipe a finger up their own wounds and I quickly have both their fingers in my mouth, our blood mingling as I suck on them as if they were their cocks. I groan and squirm, so incredibly turned on that my hand slips down between my legs as my tongue makes sure I didn’t miss any blood.

Lonan sharply slaps my hand away from my clit as Kai says, “This is ours now. You don’t get to play with what’s ours unless we direct you to, understand, princess?”

I growl and ask, “Does that mean those dicks are mine, to do with what I will?”

“Yes,” they reply together.

My eyes narrow. “Then I don’t want either of you to get yourselves off anymore.”

“Of course, little mate,” Kai murmurs.

I’m a bit worried by how quickly and sweetly Kai agreed but I decide to make that a future-me problem. Because current-me is about to finally get these dicks I’ve been fantasising about.

Lonan and Kai kneel before me as I lay propped up. I spend a moment feeling shocked, again, that I have have not one, but two spirit mates. But when Lonan wraps his hand around Kai’s blood-smeared cock, my thoughts disappear.

“Well, sweetheart, shall we close our bonds?” Lonan smiles at me charmingly.

Kai merely stares, gaze focused.

I nod slowly as I sit up. “I want to see you both first. Touch you. After that, yes, please, stones, I need to be fucked. But let me play with you first.”

Kai groans and they both climb off the bed.

“C’mere, princess,” he rumbles as his hand goes to cup his balls.

A little sound of need escapes me and I feel so giddy that I don’t have to obfuscate or hide my true emotions or feelings anymore that I grin at them and I crawl across the bed.

“Our little Queen. You please us so, sweetheart. Will you suck our cocks?”

I drop to my knees and wrap a hand around each of them. They are both thick and hard enough that I imagine it’s painful. Lonan groans at my touch whereas Kai rocks his hips forward.

“No. I’m not sucking your cocks.” I say calmly as I stroke them.

Displeased noises emerge above me but I just keep playing with their dicks. Lonan’s slit starts to cry first and I make a happy sound, my eyes locked on the little bead of his precum that’s emerged.

“Thought you weren’t gonna wrap those gorgeous lips around us, baby?” Kai’s voice is even, fully in control, but his entire body is tense.

“I’m not,” I murmur, my eyes flicking upward from my position low on my knees to take in Kai’s stunning green eyes, then Lonan’s intense maroon ones. “But that doesn’t mean I can’t taste you.” I let go of Lo’s cock, swiping the drop of his seed up. I continue to stroke Kai as I bring my finger to my mouth, eyes closing in bliss to finally, finally, taste Lonan’s pleasure.

“Fuuuuuuck,” he purrs softly.

“Now me, princess,” Kai growls, his control seemingly slipping, as is some of his seed from his slit.

I stop stroking and swipe his precum up, sucking it off my finger as I make happy noises.

Kai leans down and grabs me, lifting me to his chest. He kisses me, tenderly, but it quickly turns intense, like him. My fire mate. He tosses me bodily onto the bed. I yip as I bounce and they crawl after me.

Lonan’s cool hands take my face and he kisses me smoothly, deeply, our tongues touching and teasing. My water mate.

How did I get so lucky?

When Lo finally leans back, I’m breathless and I wonder, offhandedly, if he’s using his gills to help his oxygen intake.

“Well, sweetheart, I think I get to fuck you first, since Kai has already gotten to enjoy your body.”

I smile at that even as Lo grabs me and rolls us so I’m on top of him, straddling his chest, his hands on my hips.

Kai presses himself against me, his huge cock pinned against my hip. “Think you can take us both, princess? You wouldn’t make one of us be second, would you?”

Well, fuck. I’m not quite sure I can take them both, but that last statement of his is enough to make me do it.

I nod, frantic, and desperate to be filled again. They both groan, hands touching me. One of them is playing with my breasts, someone’s hand is between my legs, rubbing my clit.

I yelp. “I’m gonna cum if you don’t stop!” My eyes snap open.

Lonan purrs and Kai whispers, “Do it, baby. Cum for us,” as he shifts my hips over Lonan’s cock, where it lays, thick and ready, on his belly.

“Oh fuck,” I cry, “Oh fuck, fuck, fuck.”

Their deep chuckles surround me, as their hands tip me over the edge. The feel of Lo between my thighs, and Kai pressed firmly to my back, is too much, too perfect. I scream as my orgasm hits and their hands lead me through it. Kai and Lo both praise me quietly, my brain unable to interpret what they are saying, other than hearing the love in their voices.

As I return to my body and brain, Lo is tugging me gently upward. I lay across his chest, tired, but still miserably empty.

“Please,” I mumble into his flesh.

They both laugh quietly. I feel Kai get off the bed.

“Kai?” Lo says questioningly.

“Lube,” he answers, as he climbs back onto the bed. “Don’t want to tear her, Lonan.”

Lonan huffs. “How do you know more about women than me?”

He shrugs. “I paid attention in lessons?”

Lo snorts, “That would have been the only class you did.”

“Stones right.”

I giggle but writhe. “ Please .”

“I don’t know, I’m not sure she’s waited long enough.” Lonan grins up at me.

I immediately turn to Kai. “ You’ll fuck me, right? Please?”

Before he can answer, Lonan growls, grabbing my hips. “Ass up, face down, sweetheart.”

His hand on the back of my head gently pulls me into position, my face against his delectable-smelling chest. I hear Lonan groan and I feel the heads of their cocks slide up and down my sex. I realize that Kai must be gripping both their cocks tightly together. I squirm, ready. Fuck, more than ready.

“Good girl,” Kai purrs, as he starts to push them both inside me. I shift, wiggling my hips, and he pulls back.

He pushes their cocks at my entrance again.

“Stay relaxed, little Queen,” Lonan whispers, as he kisses the top of my head.

“I’m going to lose my godsdamn mind if you two don’t get inside me, now.” I snap, my patience at an end.

They both laugh as Lonan wraps an arm around my waist, pinning me tightly down to his body. A heartbeat later and Kai is pressing their dicks into me. I moan and press my hips back.

Kai’s hand rubs my back. “Yea, you need this, don’t you baby? Need your mates in this pretty little pussy?”

My only response is to thrust back, causing the heads of them to enter me. All three of us make noises of both relief and need.

“More,” I gasp.

“Whatever our Queen orders,” Lonan says tensely, his arms tight around me. He shifts his hand over my waist to my ass and presses me down onto them a bit.

I squeak but Kai nibbles my neck. “Good girl,” he breathes directly into my ear as he rocks more of them into me. His hand releases their cocks, and comes up to grab my shoulder.

“Take it all, Oleander. You’re ours. The realm is ours. We’re with you until the end,” gasps Kai as he roughly thrusts the rest of their considerable lengths inside me.

The stretch of them is intense, but I know I can take it. However, I also can tell how close I am.

“I’m gonna... I’m gonna...”

They both approve.

“Good girl.”

“That’s it.”

“You take us so well, Ollie.”

“Give it to us.”

“Let us feel you grip us.”

Their words are like a song, one after the other and I let myself go, let myself drift as pleasure takes me. And again, their hands moving me, my hips rocking, rubbing my clit against Lonan’s body as they drive in and out of me with that deliciously painful edge, my body able to do naught but cum again and again.

“Oh fuck,” Kai grunts, and it penetrates the haze of pleasure around me.

Just as I open my mouth to beg for their releases deep inside me, Lo growls, “Pull out.”

Kai agrees and I’m suddenly, rudely, removed from the wonderful feeling of their cocks tightly buried inside me. I feel hands against me, and I realize they are jerking themselves the last stroke or two to orgasm. I feel both annoyed as fuck, as I wanted, no needed , their seed inside me, and thankful, as I cannot become pregnant.

I feel the warmth of their pleasure, across my belly and over my back, at the same moment as they both gasp out. I purr and make happy noises, my hips still working over Lonan, even though nothing is inside me.

My eyes open, just as I feel Kai stand, his warmth leaving my back. Lonan tugs me down, into his mess but I don’t mind. I kiss him deeply. I feel Kai return and start wiping my back with a damp towel and I continue kissing Lo.

Gingerly, my body is rolled off him, and Kai climbs over me, handing Lo the towel. Lonan wipes my belly as Kai straddles and kisses me. He leans back, on his knees.

“Spread those gorgeous thighs baby. We’re in charge of your body now. Get used to us taking care of it.”

I can’t determine exactly how I feel about those words, but my legs open obediently and they both sit up to inspect me. Warm fingers pull my folds apart. I whimper and try to close my legs, only earning me a gentle slap.

“Quit. Accept.” Lonan demands. And the warm wet towel is gently wiped over me.

“She looks alright. But we’ll check again in the morning.”

I’m too tired to think straight. Too lost in the afterglow of claiming my spirit mates. They speak quietly; I feel blankets tugged over me and their bodies surrounding me.

Before my eyes fall closed, I murmur, “Send word to Larkstead that we’ll leave at once.”
