Saige was standing there, her fingers dipping between her legs as she rubbed her clit shamelessly.

“That was insanely sexy,” she told me as I lifted her up, letting her lock her legs behind my back. Those damn halter boobies were taunting me with each movement we made.

I’m going to buy her more things like this. It’s like a viewing shelf for glorious boobies.

I was ready to declare my new found appreciation for this style of fashion when she slid down, and my dick fit right inside her like a glove. “I love you guys.” We both moaned, and my eyes rolled back in pleasure.

“We love you, Cub. Always.” And within a few more small thrusts, I was spilling myself deep inside of her, ensuring Cam and I both left our mark. Her legs fell from my hips and I kissed her gently, savoring the coconut and vanilla scent that was entirely her.

She looked up at us both with a relaxed sigh. “Let's swim a little more before we have to go back?” We nodded; it was impossible to tell her no. We used a spare towel to clean up a bit before jumping back in the water and playing around for another hour or so.

The sound of Cam's phone ringing carried out to us, and the three of us froze.

“Shit,” he muttered, swimming fast for the shore.

“Do you think something's wrong?” Saige asked me, biting her bottom lip as she worried.

“Could be nothing,” I replied, but my gut told me that wasn't the case. We made our way to shore as Cam paced around, listening to whoever was on the other line. I hopped out of the lake and offered Sprout a hand, to make sure she didn't slip on the way out. Cam tossed his phone back on the blanket, his hands resting on his hips as he met my eyes.

“What is it?” I asked, preparing for horrible news.

“We need to get back to the cottage. They're back, but the dragons? They're gone.”

Fuck.

We turned into my driveway, sending dust and gravel flying in a cloud behind us. The mood in the SUV had shifted drastically from the light and flirty vibe we’d had earlier. Now there was a dark sense of foreboding hanging in the air. The three of us were each lost in our own thoughts. If the dragons were gone... gods, they could already be razing Besmet to the ground.

Cam put the car in park and we hopped out, eager to hear what the others had seen. Deciding I wanted one more small moment for myself, I reached out and grabbed Cam and Kai's hands, pulling them to a stop.

“What is it, baby girl? Are you okay?” Cam asked, concern shining in his eyes.

“I'm okay... great, really.” I gave them both a smile. “I just wanted to say thank you. For taking me out. It was the most fun I've had in a really long time. I didn't realize how much I needed a few hours of relaxation and laughter, so thank you.” I launched myself at Cam, wrapping my arms around his waist. My head barely reached his shoulders, and I loved how protected I felt in his arms. His deep chuckle made his chest vibrate against my cheek, while his big hands pulled me closer.

“I love you, little witch. You take care of everyone else all the time. If anyone deserves a break, it's you. I'm just glad you were able to steal some time since it looks like it might be a while before that can happen again.” He bent down and kissed the top of my head.

Heat surrounded me from behind and Kai's arms wrapped around my waist, his lips finding my neck a moment before he nipped me. “No matter what we're doing, as long as we're together, it'll be one of the best moments of my life, Sprout,” Kai purred, and I closed my eyes, enjoying his earthy scent of leather and pine.

I sighed. “Okay, let's go see what's happening in there. I just wanted to tell you two that I love you so much and appreciate you. Oh, and you looked stupid hot with your cocks together like that and I wanna hold them next time, okaythankyoubye!” I slipped from between them and darted to the door, smiling at the sounds of them laughing deeply.

I heard the voices before I even got through the door. It sounded like chaos. Lovely. Kicking my shoes off and dropping my beach bag on the small bench by the door, I headed for the kitchen.

“Bring all of that,” Khol commanded someone.

“How long will you be gone?” Gran asked.

My eyes widened at the sight of my kitchen, now hit by a tactical tornado. Backpacks, stacks of weapons, and an assortment of magical items littered the floor.

“What's happening?” The words came out a little shaky, but damn, reality was hitting me over the head right now and I needed a minute to acclimate. My guys all dropped what they were doing and swarmed me, each giving me a quick kiss before returning to what they were doing. Bram lingered though, taking my hand. Cam and Kai were at my back now, waiting for information.

“We got there as planned. But imagine our surprise when we realized the building was abandoned. Not one single person in the entire place. Fischer was able to tell right away when he didn't sense anyone, so we broke in and combed the building room by room. It was as though there'd never been anyone there to begin with. The basement though—it was triple the size of the space above it. There’d definitely been dragons there, though it was hard to say how long it'd been since then. There was also all manner of testing and exam equipment. It was like a mad scientist's lab, to be honest.” Bram wiped a hand down his face, exhaustion showing in his eyes.

I found myself stepping closer to him and slipping my arms around his waist. My big demon was stressed, and I wished I could do more for him than a simple hug, but sometimes a hug like this had to be enough. His body relaxed after a few seconds, and I squeezed him tighter.See? I knew a hug would help.

I opened my eyes and found Miranda staring at us with a somber expression. Our eyes met and she gave me a sad smile. This would be hard on her too. She'd just met a man who she saw a future with, one who was great with her daughter, and a protector... now here he was suiting up for a war in another realm.
