You are welcome to try.
I backed away and removed my top and skirt before languidly lifting my chemise over my head and tossing it aside. Nox silently watched, sizing me up like he was eyeing a particularly enticing spread of food. Turning my back to him, I sank to my knees on the soft grass before leaning forward onto my elbows. Of course, I then wiggled my ass in his direction to further provoke.
“Fuck,” he muttered, and I heard him quickly undress before his warmth was suddenly pressed against me. He ran his large hands all the way down my arched back before spreading me open, blowing out a shaky breath at the sight. “This ass. It fucking kills me.” Leaning down, he gave me a long lick from my dripping core all the way to the source of his demise.
Gasping at the sensation, I dug my claws into the earth, grinding backward and silently pleading with him to give me more. After a few more torturous licks, Nox straightened again, dipping two fingers inside my pussy and groaning right along with me. Seeing as I was already soaked, he wasted no time. Nudging my legs wider with his, he started to slide his enormous cock into me, excruciatingly slow.
Although I appreciated Nox being careful, I needed him to trust I could handle whatever he offered me. Our great battle was tomorrow, and knowing the Facility had the resources to affect supernatural abilities, even my Riders and I could be in danger. Just for tonight, I needed to lose myself in him completely.
“I want all of you, Nox,” I whispered, my tone bordering on desperation. “Please…”
He hesitated only briefly before forcefully gripping my hair at the same moment he drove himself in completely. I cried out at the sharp sting of pain, my voice muffled against the ground, but the sweet torment was exactly what I was seeking.
Lowering himself to his elbows, Nox caged me in, pulling out only to slide in again, slow and deep. The extreme angle made for both pleasure and pain as he entered me, but I gratefully received it. I wanted to feel everything my men could give me. To remind myself I was alive, that my life was my own, and what we all had together was as unbreakable as I was.
A sudden intake of breath had me lifting my head to look toward the tree line, and I found Tan and Asa watching us, their gazes dark with lust. After we’d discovered signs of human activity, my other Riders had disappeared to search the surrounding woods for more trespassers. I’d suspected they mostly wanted some private playtime—a suspicion now confirmed by their disheveled appearance—but this tryst didn’t bother me. There was nothing I loved more than my men together.
“I want to watch too…”
Tan received my message through the bond, lovingly smirking at me in response. Positioning himself behind Asa, he slowly slid his hands down the other man’s abdomen to reach his pants. My Beautiful Sun groaned as Tan deftly undid his belt and reached inside, pulling his cock free so I could have an unobstructed view.
“Vasi…” Asa gasped, dropping his head backward against Tan’s shoulder, shuddering as my Bright Dawn expertly stroked him for me.
My name on Asa’s lips caused Nox to freeze and emit an almost inhuman growl, reminding me there were still unresolved issues between the two men. Possessively curling his body around me, my Darkest Midnight bit down hard on my neck—in the same spot he’d marked me in the grove—before beginning to violently thrust.
The surrounding forest pulsed in response to our combined pleasure. I pulled power up from the ground beneath me, sending it down my body to where Nox and I were connected. Equally in tune, Nox palmed my clit, dragging an orgasm out of me that had me screaming his name only moments later.
He kept going through my aftershocks, adjusting his angle so a second climax quickly built. Tan increased his pace on Asa’s cock while reaching down to stroke himself, his hazel eyes growing hooded as he watched Nox fuck me into the dirt.
The energy of the forest had slowed to a crawl, as if it were feeding the four of us as we neared our collective release. Overwhelmed by the sensations coursing through the bond I shared with my men, I allowed myself to let go completely. Almost delirious in my ecstasy, I howled into the night as I came again before collapsing in Nox’s arms.
Someone must have run inside the hut for blankets, as I suddenly found myself gently tucked between my men in a warm, comfortable nest. Our bond hummed with sated contentment, and my limbs soon grew heavy as my eyes closed. We fell asleep together in this way—with the stars gazing down on us from above and the unrivaled power of the earth supporting us from below.
Chapter 43
Asa
Thanks to whatever superpowers Vasi had awakened in me, my senses were acutely sharpened as we approached the Facility through the endless wilderness surrounding it. We’d left the horses half-a-mile back, choosing to continue on foot for stealth. I still marveled at how easily we moved through the thick forest, as if we were an inherent part of the environment ourselves.
We occasionally stumbled upon what looked like the chewed up remains of our fellow recruits. Vasi calmly explained either the Rusalka or a creature known as the Likhomust have eaten them. Nox then added that the Likhowas the living embodiment of evil fate and misfortune and apparently looked like a one-eyed witch-goblin had a baby with Slenderman.
Lovely.
I shook off the disturbing mental image, but then remembered my mother recently encouraging me to learn more about this culture, since I was apparently part of it. This was laughable, as she’d never felt the need to educate me on my heritage before. Just like she hadn’t thought it important to tell me she was still alive, or that I had a half-brother. Instead, she’d left me to fumble my way through debilitating grief that almost cost me everything. Rage flared up in me again, not least of all because everything I’d believed in for the past 28 years was a lie.
My entire fucking life is a lie.
The emotions coursing through me must have been intense enough to travel through our bond, as Nox threw me a sharp glance. “Are you all right over there, Ace?” he asked.
I puffed out a breath, willing myself to relax to prepare for what lay ahead. “No, I am not,” I replied, surprising myself with my admission. Clarity suddenly washed over me as I realized Nox was just as affected by this situation as me—possibly even more so. Swallowing hard, I hesitantly added, “Nox...I am incredibly sorry you had to grow up alone when you could have been with me and my...with us in Savannah.”
Nox surprised me by chuckling good-naturedly, clapping me so hard on the back I winced. “Don’t waste your tears on me, Ace! Sure, I’m a little fucking pissed my mother was alive this whole time, but you can’t really miss what you never had. And I wasn’t alone. Mybabaloved me like I was her own, and overall, my childhood was pretty good.” His mood darkened. “It was only after she died and my father got his hands on me that things got shitty.”
I thoughtfully observed the man walking beside me, his usually heavy footsteps as silent as death in the leaf litter. Nox and I had led such different lives until we met at the Facility. Although I’d always felt a natural kinship with him, it was going to take some time for my brain to absorb the fact we were actually related.
And that our mother is the highest goddess in this pantheon.
I’d redirected so much anger toward Nox over the past few months, knowing his father was to blame for my mother’s death. But none of this was his fault. We were both a couple of lab rats created and maneuvered by higher powers. While I was eternally grateful that my destiny included Vasi and my fellow Riders, it would have been nice for someone to tell me this legacy was headed my way.
