"You could try," a voice from the door had all of our heads turning, to take in the woman who had all of us wrapped around her little finger. "But I will always do what I want."
I blinked and cocked my head.
"You fucking serious right now, little witch?" My voice was deep and disbelieving.
"You know I am." She shrugged and disappeared into the bathroom, leaving the door open.
The three of us looked at each other for a beat.
"Oh, I cannot wait to get my hands on her sassy ass," Kai grinned, pushing his boxers down so fast his cock slapped his stomach on the rebound. He straightened, his cock jutting out as he puffed up his chest. I was about to tease him when he froze, looking over Fish’s shoulder. Fischer and I turned in what felt like slow motion to see what had finally silenced the loud shifter.
My mouth dropped. There was my witch without a stitch of clothing. Her long red hair falling down her shoulders, brushing her tits. Her waist curved in deliciously, and then those motherfucking hips... Mercy.
"Tell me you're sorry," she demanded, looking at each of us in turn.
Kai moved first, his gait smooth and predatory. "Cub," he rumbled. "I am so fucking sorry that I kept my profession a secret from you, especially after we were mated. It was despicable and it tormented me daily. I truly believed that I was keeping you safer by not telling you. Now I know just how wrong that was." He reached for her hands, staring down at her with so much adoration my own heart skipped a beat.
"I love you, Kai," she declared, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing the hell out of him. He pulled back with a stunned expression after a few moments.
"You love me? After what I did?" He shook his head as though he just couldn't fucking believe it.
"So much. When we were apart, I fucking ached for you. For all of you." Her eyes darted over to me and Fish, then back to Kai. "I was so scared I'd never get to tell you, that I'd never get to laugh at your jokes or feel your skin against mine..."
"Fuck, Cub," Kai exhaled. "I fucking love you too. And I'm going to fucking show you just how much. Right the fuck now. And every fucking day after," he promised, dropping his mouth to hers once again.
The bed shifted as Fischer got up, his hand running through his hair as he approached them. Saige broke the kiss and smiled at Fish. He stepped up behind her, swiping her hair away from her neck and giving himself a clear path to kiss her shoulder.
"Guppy," she sighed.
"Sweetheart," he mumbled against her neck. "I'm sorry. For everything. For lying, for not telling you about Faris. For leaving you." His voice cracked and my throat tightened at the meaning. He was apologizing to her for dying.
"Don't," she gasped, spinning between the two men and wrapping her arms around Fischer tightly. "I know why you did it. I hate it. And the fucking pain I felt, seeing you like that... Knowing I was too late. No. You came back to me."
"I will always come back to you, sweetheart. In this life and the next, I fucking swear it." Fish pulled back, tilting her chin up so he could look at her. “When I was laying in the forest, knowing that was it, the end? My last thought was of your beautiful green eyes and how much I fucking loved you. I love you, Saige Wildes.” A small whimper escaped our girl and Fischer bent down, catching her lips and swallowing down her sounds. He kissed her with the passion of a man who had lost everything and been given a second chance. It was soul-binding, heartbreaking, and it was everything. I felt myself being pulled towards them almost as if magic was at work, but it was just the love of a damn good woman and the bond of my brothers calling to me.
"Baby girl."
She moaned into Fischer's mouth as Kai's hands gripped her hips where he pressed himself against her juicy ass. Fish pulled back with a smile, clearly pleased as hell that she'd forgiven him. Kai urged her into my arms, and I towered over her short frame. My hair was wild and cascading down my back and shoulders as I leaned down. I needed her to fucking see me. To see the wild desperation I felt for her. It never waned. Even now, this close to her, breathing the same air—it wasn't enough.
She stared up at me with those big disarming eyes that penetrated me, sinking right down to the dark depths of my soul and seeing who I was underneath all the bullshit.She fucking sees me.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry for keeping things from you. I'm sorry for failing to protect you." I held a finger to her lips as she started to protest. My eyes closed and I took a deep, cleansing breath before opening them. I needed to see her. "You mean so much to me, little witch. I felt it from the start. It felt... like too much, too soon. But after everything that's happened, fuck that. I'm hopelessly and completely in love with you, baby."
A small whimper left her mouth at my declaration, her eyes shining with emotion. Hope, desire, love.
"I love you too, Cam," she said, a little smile tugging on her full lips.She loves me. Me. For all of my faults and the walls I'd spent years building around myself, this curvy goddess had scaled them all and refused to let me hide.
"Does that mean you forgive me?" I asked sheepishly.
My little witch reached up with trembling hands and pushed my hair back, her palms resting on my cheeks.
"I forgive all of you. Life is too short, and we've barely started ours. Together. Make love to me?" she asked softly and turned to look at Fischer and Kai. "All of you. I need all of you tonight."
Fischer's eyes flared, the black bleeding into the light brown of his irises. A feral sound left Kai as the two of them prowled over to us.
"How do you want us, Cub?" Kai whispered, his lips against her neck. Saige sighed, light and breathy at the contact.
"However gets all of your hands on me at the same time," she replied, her cheeks turning pink as she bit her bottom lip.
