I picked up the bottle and read aloud, "Congratulations, Melody, Connor, Hunter, Razvan, and Arjun. Enjoy your honeymoon and may it be the start of a wonderful life together. Oh my..." I quickly wiped away a tear, emotions flooding me. "How did they know?"
"I arranged it," Raz hugged me from behind, kissing the back of my head. "Let's make a toast."
Hunter retrieved chilled glasses from a mini fridge that had more champagne and wine inside, while Arjun opened the bottle and poured. Once we all had glasses, Connor cleared his throat and raised his.
"To the incredible love of this woman who brought us together, who picks no favorites except me."
"Bollocks." Arjun jabbed him hard in the ribs, much to the amusement of everyone.
"To many years of love, laughter, and kinky sex ahead."
I snorted. Connor winked at me before continuing.
"On a serious note, I never thought I'd find myself in a group marriage," my Marine paused, his voice tightening with emotion. "But I'm so happy it's with you, babe, and that you have three other good men to protect, love, and cherish you. God knows you deserve every bit of it."
"Hear, hear," Hunter raised his glass and grinned.
"To our honeymoon," Arjun agreed. "And to Raz especially for arranging the trip of a lifetime for us. Well done, mate. This is simply the dog's bollocks."
"Noroc, eh, cheers," Raz smiled. "Happy to do it for you,steluta, and even you three dicks. I love you all."
We drained our glasses and I found myself kissing three different mouths in rapid succession. First Raz, then Connor, then Arjun. This time, all the soft teasing from the car was gone.
My tiger held me flush to his hard body, his kisses deep and hungry. I heard Hunter and Raz murmuring softly to each other as they kissed, so the person lifting my shirt and kissing my back could only be Connor.
"I need you," Arjun whispered harshly against my lips, his cock stiff and erect between us. "Christ almighty, how I fuckingneedyou, woman.”
"You're not the only one," Connor murmured behind me, lips ghosting a trail across my skin.
"You've already had her," Arjun said with a possessive growl, pinning my hips to his.
"I had her mouth," Connor argued, his hand traveling over my ass to cup between my legs. "But not here."
"You all enjoy yourselves," Raz chuckled. "We'll be back."
I looked up just in time to see him open the bay window and step one booted foot on the ledge. Even though I knew his abilities well and had seen him shift dozens of times, I still gasped when he stepped out into nothing and dropped out of view.
Not two seconds later, a dragon with shiny, obsidian scales and a wingspan nearly as wide as the room, hovered in front of the window with a powerful beat of his wings.
"Be back in time for dinner," I told him.
Raz's lips pulled back in a toothy grin and he beat his wings again, this time taking off toward the forest.
A tongue licked my hand, and I looked down to see a gorgeous white-furred, golden-eyed wolf staring back at me.
"You too, Hunter." I scratched his neck and planted a kiss on his head. “I love you.”
He licked my face before turning to run down the spiral staircase, claws clicking on the stone.
"That'll make the staff scratch their heads," Connor laughed.
"Like the dragon flying overhead won't?" Arjun quipped.
"News of shifters and shaman have been spreading ever since our wedding," I reminded them. "It's about time people started seeing them out in the wild."
"Yes, but what I haven't figured out," Arjun placed my hand over his thick shaft. "Is what position I'll take my wife in first."
"Smart man, getting back to what's important." Connor unzipped my skirt and let the fabric pool around my feet. "Jesus, babe, you're still soaked."
