Page 16 of Hers to Keep

Mari’s breath stuttered as Cisco began to rock her up and down in an agonizingly slow rhythm.She met Dohal’s blazing eyes again.

His lips were slightly curled as he watched her sliding over Dante’s cock.“Pull up your dress, bavi, so I can see you better.”

She did as he asked, dragging the silky fabric up along her torso to clear his view.His gaze slowly roamed down her body as she moved under Cisco’s command.

Dante’s cock plunged deep with every stroke, dragging inside her with such perfect friction that she thought she would self-combust.

Cisco’s grip on her neck tightened again as he drove her faster, so that her tits bounced.She slid her hands up to palm them and panned her eyes toward Rio, who watched her chest with avid appreciation.

Their attention sparked something inside her that was hungry for them.Dante wrapped his hands around her ass as she picked up speed again, groaning into the base of her neck as she rode him hard.The slapping of their skin on every thrust filled the room.

Cisco no longer directed her, just supported her as her movements became more frantic.“Come all over his cock, Mariana.”

She cried out as her muscles contracted, squeezing around Dante as she continued to move along his length, enjoying the sensation of his cock pushing through the pressure.His hips jerked as he followed her after a handful of strokes, his magic and his cum pumping into her.

Mari relaxed against Dante as her body continued to shudder around him.“I like the fun way much better,” she murmured into his shoulder.

He chuckled and slid his hand up her back.“Me too.”

Rio traced his fingers lightly over her arm.“Are you feeling better?”

“Mmhmm.Much,” she said with a drowsy smile.

Cisco rubbed her neck.“Good.”

Dohal leaned to kiss her shoulder.“I am very glad.”

Mari grumbled the whole way up the stairs to the guest rooms, just for fun.Rio had agreed to let Mari go with him to talk to Tristan only if she let him carry her.And since Mari was feeling quite a bit perkier after her sexy times with Dante in the ballroom, she was quite enjoying the ride, letting her magic rub up against Rio and teasing him into a frenzy.

When they arrived at the door, Rio set her gently on her espadrilles and pushed her into the wall with a searing kiss that made her wrap a leg around him.She squeaked against his mouth when he grabbed a handful of her ass under her dress and pulled her hard against him.

He gave her a scorching look as he pulled away an inch.“You keep making noises like that and I’m going to drop to my knees right here in this hallway.”

She gave his arm an indignant swat and laughed.“Not in this hallway.”

“Is there another hallway that’s better for you?”He dipped his head for another brief kiss.“Because I can just carry you over there.”

“You’re impossible.”She tipped her head back and laughed again, and he peppered her throat with nibbling kisses.

He let out a playful growl and pulled away slightly.“Okay, let’s get this done, because I need under that dress in the worst way.”

Rio knocked on the door, but didn’t step away from where he had her pinned until the last second.

This time Halcyon answered the door.He raised his eyebrows in question without saying anything.

“Mari had an idea about something that might help.”

Still no response, and if anything, Halcyon looked more skeptical.

Mari said, “Greta thinks he’s in stasis, right?Waiting for it to be safe.Well, what if Rio tells him it’s safe?”

Halcyon didn’t say anything but lifted his chin indicating they should come with him.

They followed him into the bedroom once again, where Clarion lay beside Tristan with one arm draped across the phoenix.Clarion’s red eyes came open the second they crossed the threshold.He didn’t growl when Rio came closer, but it looked like a near thing.

Rio sat next to Tristan and picked up his hand.He took a breath before he began, “I’ve missed the hell out of you, Tris.”

He laced his fingers with the phoenix’s and thought for a moment.“I don’t know what happened to you, or where you went.I thought you died, and it killed me.”He took a moment to hold back the tears that roughened his voice.“I’m sorry that when you came back looking for me, you found Vincent.”
