“Will you do me the honor of allowing me to forge a mating bond between us? To forever bind our souls?” I placed my hand over his heart but held back my magic as I waited for his answer.

Kieran laid his hand on top of mine. “My soul already belongs to you. It has since the moment I met you.”

Tears once again flowed as I did what I’d wanted to do for so long. I stopped denying my magic and let it flow into him, joining us. The mating bond lit up like a bonfire, and his emotions poured into me. So intense, I almost fell to my knees. Only Kieran wrapping his arms around me and kissing me kept me upright.

The crowd erupted once more, and I was vaguely aware of more petals raining down on us. Then Kieran swept me off my feet and carried me back through the cheering crowd. The rest of my mates followed after us as barrels of ale and wine were rolled out.

Roth’s brothers stood in front of Zosa, as if they were negotiating with the mare to not bite them.

Good luck.

“Our honored guests are going to change into more comfortable clothing,” Celestina announced. “Let us drink and be merry while we wait for their return.”

“In an hour!” Severen shouted.

“Ah, give them at least two hours! There’s six of ’em!” someone shouted.

“Okay, two hours,” Severen amended. “But no more!”

“So three hours then?” Roth called back. Loud laughter broke out and covered whatever Severen’s response was.

Kieran trotted us up the stairs and into the main building. Within minutes, we were in our guest suite. A bottle of wine and some snacks had been left for us on the table. Andtwopitchers of water.

I giggled at the thoughtful arrangement and then squealed as Kieran tossed me onto the enormous bed. I’d barely landed before soft, bloodred ropes wrapped around my wrists and pulled my arms over my head, then I felt similar ones wrap around my ankles and tug my legs apart. Roth must have stashed them under the bed earlier in preparation for this.

“Something funny, wife?” Roth stood at the foot of the bed, unbuttoning their vest and tossing it aside.

“Someone is clearly worried about us getting dehydrated.” My laugh turned husky when Roth’s ropes pulled my legs apart even wider.

“It’s a valid concern.” Draven strolled over and gathered the fabric of my dress before sweeping it to the side, baring my glistening pussy to Roth.

“Already so messy,” they tutted. “That simply won’t do.” Roth glanced over their shoulder to Kieran. “Clean her up for me, would you?”

“Of course, Roth.” Kieran grinned wickedly as he tugged off his shirt and sauntered towards the bed. Anticipation raced through me as he crawled onto it, stopping to lick every inch of my inner thighs before sweeping his tongue straight up my dripping slit.

“Fuck!” My back bowed off the bed, and someone chuckled to my right. I turn my head to find Alaric there, already stripped of his clothes, his magnificent cock in his hand. A whimper slipped from my lips as Kieran continued to suck and lick every bit of Draven’s cum out of me while my mouth watered at the thought of tasting Alaric.

“Something you want, Sam?” Alaric stroked himself again, and a bead of precum formed at his tip.

I licked my lips before smirking up at him. “See somethingyouwant?”

“Somehow, you get brattier when you’re tied up.” He let out a dark chuckle that had my toes curling. “There is zero chance of your hair making it through this unscathed, just so you know.”

“It had a good run,” I panted, my thighs desperate to clench around Kieran’s head but unable to, thanks to Roth’s ropes. Alaric climbed onto the bed and knelt next to me, then he gripped the back of my head, twisting it further towards him, and slowly fed me every inch of his hard length.

Someone tugged at the straps of my dress before I felt cool metal slide between my skin and the fabric. I growled around Alaric’s cock as my dress was cut away. I really liked that dress, damn it.

Draven laughed. “Told you Vail would be destroying it.”

“She has another one,” Vail rumbled before making me jump when he ripped the bodice. Alaric grunted as I sucked harder on his cock and pushed my head farther down until my eyes watered.

For several minutes, Kieran continued to eat me out, taking Roth’s command to heart as his tongue dove deep to get out any last traces of Draven. Vail leaned over the bed and played with my breasts. First with his hands and then his tongue.

“Don’t let her come yet,” Roth growled. “I get the first one.”

I whimpered around Alaric’s thick length because I was so damn close to coming. Vail laughed, his hot breath dancing across my taut nipple.

Kieran must have sensed how close I was because he pulled back after one final lick. “All yours, Roth.”
