“Mhm.” My back arched as Maddox tongued my slit. He then brushed a finger over my opening, not penetrating yet; only teasing.
The two of them brought me to the brink several times before yanking me back, preventing me from going over that delicious edge. Only when I was a sweaty heap on the bed and begging for release did they finally take mercy on me.
Maddox fucked me hard and fast, the bed groaning under our weight.
“Fuck him harder,” Briar said as he ran his fingers through my hair. He kissed my temple, cheek, and finally, my lips.
Maddox softly grunted, snapping his hips forward and driving into me with more vigor. His cock hit me in all the right places, sending rippling warmth throughout my body.
I’d lost count of the number of times we’d had sex in the past several months, but the intense pleasure never diminished. Every single time blew my mind. Made me lose it, too, as waves of ecstasy crashed into me, over and over.
Briar smiled against my mouth and encouraged Maddox further. Still holding me with one hand, he slid the other between his legs and stroked himself as he watched me being fucked to within an inch of my life. Sometimes, he preferred that to participating.
My sexy voyeur.
Afterward, Maddox tugged me to his sweat-dampened chest. He reached over and cupped the side of Briar’s neck before pulling him down for a hard kiss. With me on my side facing Maddox, Briar spooned me from behind, feathering kisses to my nape. He slid an arm across my belly and placed his hand on Maddox’s forearm.
The three of us were connected. Bonded.
In love.
“I’m so happy we don’t have to drink those flowery after-sex tonics anymore,” I said, my voice slurred. Orgasms always wore me out. Cuddling with them didn’t help with that. They made me feel so comfortable and safe.
The post-sex tonics were used in place of condoms—though, condoms could still be used if preferred. However, the tonics cleansed the body of any diseases that could be sexually transmitted. It was only necessary to drink it once, unless you planned to sleep around with different people. But since the three of us were in a committed relationship, we didn’t need to drink it anymore. Thank god. That shit was revolting.
“I don’t know,” Maddox said into the top of my hair. “You may need to take one just as a precaution. What do you think, physician?”
Briar exaggerated a sigh. “The captain’s right. We can never be too safe. I should whip one up for you.”
“No,” I whined, wiggling. “I’ll puke. Y’all are supposed to shower me in kisses and love, not be mean.”
Briar grinned. “I don’t recall making that promise.”
Maddox chuckled and gently bopped my chin. “Your whines amuse me.”
“Yeah, well, my fist is about to amuse your face.”
“Is that so?” He snatched hold of my wrist and lifted my hand to his cheek, a humored glint in his eyes. “I’m terrified. Truly.”
I smoothed my thumb across his lips. They were soft and parted beneath my touch. His long black lashes created shadows on his cheeks as his lids hooded, giving him sexy bedroom eyes.
Maddox was a battle-hardened knight with scars to prove it and a strict exterior that had the potential to make even the bravest men cower… but with me, he was so damn gentle.
“Wanna know what terrifiesme?” I rested my forehead against his jaw and reached for Briar’s hand. “Knowing a single day without either of you.”
“You’ll never have to know one,” Briar murmured into the back of my hair, threading our fingers together. “We belong to you.”
“And I belong to you,” I said, drawing back to look at them. “Both of you.”
“We know.” The softness in Maddox’s eyes reflected in his voice.
The backs of my eyes burned. “I’m going to miss you.”
“Miss us?” Briar asked.
“Yeah. I’m moving here, while you both have to stay on the castle grounds. You can’t leave your clinic because you have to be close in case of an emergency with the royal family or knights.” I looked at Maddox. “And as captain, you can’t leave your unit unattended. You said so yourself; it’s so far away.”
“Ten minutes on horseback,” Maddox responded, the edges of his eyes tightening. “Fifteen at most. But say the word, and you can return with us. No one is forcing you to leave the castle grounds, Evan.”
