Bram's rhythm faltered behind me, his grip on my hips tightening. "Goldie, I can't... You feel too good," he groaned, his voice strained with the effort of holding back.
"Together," I whispered, reaching back to tangle my fingers in his red hair. "I want to feel you both come together."
That seemed to undo them both. Bram's movements became erratic, desperate, and I felt Faris tense beneath me as they chased their release. The sounds they made—low groans and whispered curses—sent another wave of heat through my oversensitive body.
"Now," Bram growled against my neck, and they both let go.
The sensation of them finding their release inside me was overwhelming in the most incredible way. I felt completely claimed, thoroughly loved, and utterly satisfied as they both held me close, their breathing ragged against my skin.
We stayed like that for long moments, a tangle of limbs and racing heartbeats. Eventually, Bram carefully withdrew and collapsed beside us, pulling me with him so I was sandwiched between him and Faris.
"I think you broke us," Faris mumbled against my hair, his usual exuberance replaced by lazy contentment.
"Good," I said with a satisfied smile, feeling wonderfully boneless. "That was the plan."
Cam and Kai moved closer, completing our little cocoon of warmth and satisfaction. Cam's hand found mine, intertwining our fingers, while Kai pressed a gentle kiss to my shoulder.
"I love Halloween," I murmured sleepily, earning chuckles from all of them.
"We love you," Bram corrected softly, and the others murmured their agreement.
As I drifted toward sleep, surrounded by my mates and feeling more cherished than I ever thought possible, I couldn't help but think that this was definitely my favorite Halloween tradition yet.

I woke slowly, my body deliciously sore in all the right places. Every muscle seemed to hold the memory of last night's passion, and I couldn't help the satisfied smile that spread across my face. The early morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a soft glow across the room.
As awareness crept in, I realized something was different. Instead of being surrounded by all six of my mates, only three warm bodies were in bed with me. Sloane's arm was draped possessively across my waist, his ice-blue eyes still closed in peaceful sleep. Bram lay on Sloane's other side, his red hair messy against the pillow, while Kai spooned me from behind.
I felt Kai shift slightly, and his voice came as a warm whisper against my ear. "Good morning, Sprout. Don't worry—Faris arranged for another king-sized bed in the room next door. The others are still sleeping. You passed out hard last night."
I turned carefully in his arms, mindful not to wake Sloane and Bram. I studied Kai's handsome face in the morning light. His dark eyes were alert despite the early hour, and I could see the contentment there.
"How are you feeling?" he asked softly, his fingers tracing gentle patterns on my bare shoulder.
"Wonderfully wrecked," I admitted with a quiet laugh. "And you? How are you feeling after... everything last night?"
A slow smile spread across his face, and I caught a flash of yellow in his eyes as Bagheera stirred beneath the surface. "About being with Cam?" he whispered, and I nodded. "I loved it. The way he made me feel..."
I pressed a soft kiss to his chest, right over his heart. "I'm so glad. You deserve all the happiness in the world, Kai. You've been working yourself to exhaustion with the academy opening next week."
His arms tightened around me. "It's worth it, knowing we're creating something that will help troubled, young witches and mages. It'll be what Montague Industries could've been.Shouldhave been."
I shivered, thinking about Asrael. "When are the rest of the new recruits arriving?" I could've just come right out and asked about her, but I held back. Kai knew me well enough to know exactly what I was asking.
"Fern arrived yesterday. Last I heard, she's settling in. Hunter's there, so at least she knows someone."
My estranged half-sister, Asrael's biological daughter, who I didn't even know existed a couple of months ago, was going to be a student at the facility that my father, Khol, and my mates had founded. I hadn't met her yet. I wanted to, but Khol was firmly against it until Fern regulated her magic… and her attitude, apparently.
"I thought she threatened to kill Hunter the last time she saw him? In the holding facility?"
Kai chuckled. "Yeah, she fuckin' hates him. But she's going to have to get over it. It was either join our academy or go to prison."
"I'm sure she'll get used to it," I murmured, pressing a kiss against Kai's bare chest.
I jerked in his arms when a phone started going off, making everyone wake up.
Kai bolted upright so fast it made my head spin, his hand already reaching for his phone on the nightstand. The ringtone was sharp and insistent, cutting through the peaceful morning atmosphere like a blade.
