“Don’t you dare pull those panties back up,” he growled, hauling her onto the counter. There was no hesitation when she spread her legs and tugged on his shorts to set his aching cock free. “Such a good little princess you are.” He hummed, sucking her earlobe between his teeth. Scarlett explored his length with her hand, spreading his precum into his skin and accepting the condom that Vince offered her.
Lucky bastard,he thought to himself. But maybe after they truly made her theirs, they wouldn’t need the protection anymore. Leaning his forehead against hers, he watched as she rolled the condom over him. She did it slowly, still new to the process, but he loved seeing it, savouring every moment.
“Perfect,” he praised.
Ezra held her in place with one arm, wrapping his other hand around the back of her neck. He thrust into her, a pleased whimper reverberating off the walls as he fucked into her, using Vince’s cum as lubrication. Her nails dug into his shoulders, her teeth sinking into the meat of his neck. She’d been more experimental with what she enjoyed and helovedevery ounce of pain she was willing to gift him. He thrust into her and nearly growled, frustrated when one of her hands dropped from him—then he realised what she was doing. Her fingers tapped a steady rhythm against her clit, matching him thrust for thrust.
Scarlett came faster than he’d thought possible, her pussy clenching around him and her teeth grinding into his flesh. Ezra could hardly wait until she’d finished, erupting and spilling his cum into the thin rubber separating them.
The second she let her head fall back, he claimed her swollen lips in a kiss, riding out the bliss of his orgasm. “I could wake up like this every morning,” he purred, kissing her forehead. Ezra withdrew himself and without giving her the chance to clean up,he pulled her clothes over her hips. When he saw her rather displeased frown, he chuckled. “Get used to it, princess. You’re going to be dripping down your thighs all day long once you’re ready for our first child.”
That made her eyes sparkle, and he hoped it wouldn’t be much longer now.
Once the table was set, Mateo joined them presenting a neatly handwritten list to Scarlett. Ezra snatched it from the table and snorted again. “Fucking show off.”
“That is not nice, Ezra,” his princess scolded, taking the paper out of his hands, only to be handed a second one from Vince.
Shit,maybe he should’ve physically written his down too. With a frustrated grunt and his teeth grinding, he stood and walked over to grab paper and pen from the office.
“What does giving the bride away mean?” Scarlett asked as Ezra sat back down and started to scribble down what he wanted for their ceremony.
“A member of the bride’s family, often the fathers, walk the bride down the aisle towards the groom and give her to him,” Mateo explained. “They usually exchange a few words, and the groom makes a promise to take great care of the bride.”
“Brothers can do it too,” Vince softly added.
“You both added that.” Scarlett turned her gaze to Ezra. “Will that be on your list too?”
As an answer, Ezra pointed to the second item on his list.
“Would you like me to write everything down we all agree on, and you can pick and choose what you like from that list?” Mateo offered.
She nodded and read out loud another thing that both Mateo and Vince had written down. “Something new, something old, something borrowed, and something blue.”
Mateo saw her confusion and explained. “It’s human tradition, the items are often provided from the families, and passed down for generations.”
“It can be anything?”
“Yes, often it is jewellery or another accessory that the bride wears.”
Looking at his list, she softly laughed. “You all want a white dress.” Once his list was done, he handed it over. When she came to Ezra’s last point, she asked, “What kind of rune would you like?”
“I thought of endless love or deep devotion.”
“Is that something just for you and me?”
“It would be, yes. I still need to read up on it, but it wouldn’t conflict with the mate bond because essentially, the mate bond is endless love and one of the deepest devotions that I’ve read about.”
“I would like to add that to our final list.”
Ezra’s heart pumped endorphins through his body. He hadn’t thought she would agree to that, especially knowing how he’d fucked up with blood vows before.
The four of them leaned in close, mulling over the lists that would bring them closer to their future.
Chapter Fifty-Six
Vince
The overwhelming scent of the different candles made Vince’s head hurt. After their usual Sunday brunch, Scarlett had asked him to come along so she could look at some décor for the mating celebration. She had taken each one of them on different missions, so none of them would see the full effect until the day.
