Page 53 of Madness of Her Mages

I met his thrusts while trying to concentrate on Nikkos and desperately straining for that release. When Nikkos reached beneath me and squeezed my breasts, rolling my nipples between his fingertips, I instantly exploded, release barreling through me and curling my fingers and toes. Blaze and Nikkos both stilled inside me, grunting and groaning while they spilled into both of my cavities. I swallowed down Nikkos’s seed as his cockhead expanded and contracted against my tongue, lapping up his juices until he shuddered and melted, the muscles in his legs going soft beneath me.

Blaze pulled out, and I tumbled into their arms with a groan, exhausted and thirsty. The bed swayed beneath us like a cradle trying to rock us to sleep. Ordinarily, I would’ve been terrified of falling, but my mates didn’t seem to worry, so I trusted their judgment. Blaze momentarily disappeared and returned with a wet sponge and towel. He was kind enough to clean between my legs, though judging by his infectious grin, he was awfully proud of the mess.

Drae climbed between us and handed me a goblet of wine. Either he was attuned to my needs, or else he wanted to get the taste of Nikkos out of my mouth before he kissed me. I swishedand then gulped down the fruity beverage while eyeing Drae over the rim of the cup. He had an impatient look in his eyes, and I knew that as the oldest brother and Lord of Abyssus, he wasn’t used to being third in line for anything. I kissed Nikkos and Blaze once more and then climbed over them and into Drae’s waiting arms.

He leaned against a mountain of pillows and wrapped his wings around us, his feathers tickling my bare skin.Are you too tired for me?he asked through thought.

I sat up on my elbow, my hair falling across his chest while I looked into his dark eyes.Never.

You sure?He looked up at me, his bottom lip hung in a pout.

Listen, Lord of Abyssus,I said mockingly, my fingers skimming over his hard chest.You need to learn to share with your brothers. Don’t forget you already had a turn earlier today when your brothers were watching the girls.

He twirled a strand of my hair around his finger, shadows falling across his features.What was that thing you were doing to Nikkos?

I laughed at his change of subject, but I happily obliged, climbing between his legs while he laid back, watching me devour him. I remembered to relax my throat, sucking him almost to the root while he moaned and thrust his hips against my mouth. I feasted, losing myself in his cries of pleasure which stirred to life my desire once more. He finally pulled away with a hiss, his wings shuddering while he tried to catch his breath.

But I wasn’t about to cede control. I climbed up the length of his body, straddling his waist and sliding onto him until I was completely seated, his thick cock buried deep inside me. I didn’t move, just sat pressed against him while getting lost in the desire swirling in his eyes.

He gently cupped my face, his eyes twin pools of longing.What are you thinking?

Releasing a sigh, I sank against him while he wrapped his wings around us, shutting out the rest of the world, the sounds of the ocean waves battering the seawall, his brothers stirring beside us.How I never want this moment to end,I answered through thought, placing my palm against his beating heart.You?

He kissed my temple, his lips lingering while he held me tighter.Same.

I didn’t like the strain in his voice. I pulled back, desperately searching his eyes that now glowed a deep crimson in the darkness of our cocoon.There’s something you’re not telling me.

I’m thinking I know this moment is fleeting.His gaze softened as he ran his fingers though my hair, cupping the back of my neck.That tomorrow we’ll wake up to some new nightmare, and I’ll be forever fighting to keep you safe.

My heart clenched and twisted as I draped my arms around his shoulders. This explained his behavior lately, why he was telling me to appease the queen. I couldn’t deny I was getting frustrated with his commands, even though I knew he was only trying to keep me safe.You don’t have to bear all this on your shoulders.

I do.His features hardened.I always do. I’m the Lord of Abyssus.

Trust me to share in this burden.

You have enough—

I silenced him with a kiss as I moved against him, grinding him inside me.Trust me.

Our bodies melded together as he cupped my breasts, his hands gently massaging while he flicked my nipples with the pads of his thumbs. I swelled around him, my body gushing when he nibbled on my lower lip.

I love you, Shiri.He clung to me as if I was water slipping through his fingers.I don’t know what I’d do if I lost you.

I love you, Drae. You won’t lose me, I cried while rocking against him.You won’t.

You can’t—

Just love me, Drae,I cried, moving faster.Love me.

He stroked my face, my neck. I will love you a thousand eternities. I will follow you to the gates of heaven or the bowels of hell. And I will fight ten thousand demons to save that love.

We clung to one another, rocking, rocking, until we broke apart, falling through the sky in a million tiny fragments before joining again and making each other whole while soaring through the heavens together.

Afterwards, Drae rolled beneath me and I laid in his arms, his length still buried deep inside me while I stroked his back, then the muscular ridges at the base of his wings. His brothers had left us when Drae and I had started making love. I could hear them murmuring somewhere below.

What does it feel like to have wings?I asked through thought, preferring to keep our conversation private, for I wasn’t ready to lose this intimate connection.

What do you mean?He stroked my side, sending delightful ripples of pleasure dancing across my skin.
