RAVEN

My loft apartment feels extremely crowded with these three massive men inside it, but right now, I am not thinking about the space.

“I want to see her naked,” Drakon says gruffly. “Take those clothes off her.”

Fenris slides his hands under the bottom edge of my shirt and stops moving.

“Are you ready?”

“Yes.” I am breathing hard and waiting for it.

“Do you want this?”

“I want it. Do it.”

He nods and pulls my shirt up over my head.

He tosses it into the corner of the room. I am not sure if I will be able to find it later, and I do not care at all.

I want him naked as well.

I reach out and struggle to untie his top.

He grabs both of my wrists and holds them together tight.

“No,” he says softly. “This time, it is all about you.”

“This time?”

“Hey, we make a really good team, right?”

“Yes.”

“I do not see us walking away from each other after this contract work. I think we will take on more jobs together. We will spend more time together. We are part of each other's lives now.”

That thought is completely dangerous.

That statement should be my immediate signal to run away from this whole situation. I should even leave the job, even though I need the money so badly.

I could find a different job. I could earn money somewhere else.

But I cannot do it.

I cannot walk away from these men.

I know Fenris would let my hands go if I pulled back. His grip on my wrists is gentle enough that I could easily break away if I tried.

I am not trying to get away.

I do not want to leave.

“You can take my clothes off next time,” he promises me. “But tonight, I want to see what the three of us can do for you. It is because of you that the contract work went so easily tonight.”

“But you already bought me drinks at the tavern.”

“Do you want us to stop right now?”

“No.”

“Then stop arguing.”

His eyes move past me to a spot behind my shoulder.

“Finish taking off her clothes, Drakon.”

Hands suddenly appear at the front of my pants, opening the fast buttons and pulling the heavy fabric down past my hips.

I hear the window shades clicking shut in the background.

Everything about this feels completely new and intense.

I have only ever been with Thorne before, back in our private place under the willow tree.

We grew up together from the time we were kids, so my feelings for him were always soft and calm, never this intense or wildly sexual.

Sometimes with Thorne, it just felt like two children playing a game.

This moment is completely different from anything I have known.

My skin feels hot everywhere they put their hands on me.

Fenris takes my breasts in his hands and rubs them slowly. His thumbs move in circles around my nipples as if he is holding back on purpose.

I catch my breath every time his touch gets close, arching my back to push against his hands, but he stays completely in control of what happens next.

Behind me, Drakon steps in and kicks my feet apart so I am standing wide.

I know what is coming next, and I want it to happen, but then his hands slide onto my bare skin, one hand moving along my hip, the other sliding up the inside of my thigh.

That is when I realize how much hotter his skin feels compared to his brothers.

He feels like he is burning from the inside out, and it confuses me for a second.

He has a fever, I think to myself.

But that makes no sense.

He has been full of strength and energy all day long. He is not acting sick at all.

“Dragon,” the word comes out of my mouth before I can stop it.

Drakon laughs quietly.

“That is right.”

I have never actually met a real dragon before.

I only knew them from the scary stories about the beasts that sometimes attacked the horde, the only shifters everyone was genuinely afraid of.

Why does that danger feel so exciting right now?

I should not be attracted to this man when I am actively thinking about how easily he could kill me.

But then he touches me, sliding two of those extremely hot fingers slowly inside me, and I feel like my entire body is falling apart.

I feel like I am going to burn up or melt down completely.

My legs give out, and the only things keeping me from falling to the floor are my arms wrapped around Fenris's shoulders and Drakon's hand inside me.

I have completely lost control.

I press myself down against Drakon's fingers and let my head fall back against his chest.

“Damn,” he groans deep in his throat. “She is so tight. I cannot wait to put myself inside her.”

“Let me feel her,” Fenris says, his voice sounding tight and choked up.

Drakon pulls his fingers back out, and a small sound escapes my mouth before I can hold it in.

Someone laughs nearby.

“She is completely ruined already.”

Kael steps up next to me and holds my chin in his hand.

He turns my face toward his and leans down to kiss me deeply.

I feel like I am being completely taken over.

I move my hands off Fenris's shoulders and put them on Kael just as my feet leave the ground completely.

Someone carries me and places me down flat.

I blink a few times until the room stops spinning and comes back into focus.

Fenris is kneeling right between my open legs, smiling up at me.

I make a low sound in my throat.

“What are you doing to me?”

“I am going to make you come,” he says clearly.

He puts his mouth over me and starts sucking, using the rough surface of his tongue to rub against me over and over.

I want to lift my hips and push myself directly against his face.

I am going to make you come.

I am so close to the edge.

Kael kisses me again, and I forget how to catch my breath.

Drakon's extremely hot fingers find my nipples, pinching and pulling on them sharply.

It hurts a little bit.

I never thought I would enjoy something like that. Thorne never touched me that way, but it feels incredible right now.

I feel so completely alive.

My climax hits me like a sudden explosion.

I do not have to fight for it or try to reach it. It completely overwhelms me, becoming something much bigger and stronger than I am.

I hear myself screaming out loud, and I hope the people living next door cannot hear it, because I have no idea how I would explain this loud noise to my ordinary human landlord.

When my mind finally clears up, all three of them are holding me close, wrapped tightly together in a warm group embrace between their big, strong bodies.

I have never felt this cared for or this special in my whole life.

I have no idea how I am ever going to walk away from these men when this is over.

But I know I will have to leave eventually.

“We should put her under the covers,” Drakon says softly.

“We should all get into the bed together,” Kael says. “We have to work our contract work in the morning. We cannot get careless just because we located the enemy warband. The second phase of the plan is going to be much harder.”

“Mmh,” I make a quiet sound.

They all laugh quietly at me.

Kael picks me up easily in his arms.

“Come on,” he says gently. “It is time for you to sleep.”

They crowd into my small bed around me, filling up all the space.

Even though I know I should not let myself get attached to them, right now I cannot think of a single reason to make them leave.
