LOGINEPILOGUEOne Year LaterThe carriage wheels crunched over the familiar uneven road, each turn carrying us closer to the place I had longed for all year. I pressed my forehead against the window, watching the landscape shift from the wild, rugged terrain of Lud's kingdom to the gentler, rolling hills of my homeland.We had visited their kingdoms one after the other, and then the other vampire kingdom that's just far from ours. That was where Fyre's relatives all lived. It was as if the entire vampires related to the royal family decided to leave separately from the others, which was why I never met them while growing up.Lud's kingdom was the last we visited because I wanted to save the best for last, and it didn't disappoint. Their square freaking had fires. I even saw a few walking around in their natural form, something Lud hardly did. Another place that made my heart race was Drake's village. There were freaking dragons flying all the damned time. Then, in Finn's, the cute little f
A sound escaped me as my finger slid into the knuckle. I was loose from Finn's cock, open and aching. I needed them to see. I needed them to understand I wasn't full yet. I added a second finger, spreading myself open.Fyre's throat moved. His cock was already half-hard again, and I watched it thicken as he stared at where my fingers disappeared into my body.“Like this,” I gasped. “I want you like this. Both of you.” I looked at Drake. “One of you in me. One in my mouth. I don't care which.”Drake's jaw tightened. He exchanged a look with Fyre, and something passed between them in a heartbeat. Then Fyre moved.He crawled toward me on his hands and knees. “You're going to kill me,” he said with a grin. “You know that, right? I don't care if I die in you.”“Good.” I pulled my fingers out and reached for him. I wrapped my hand around his dick and slicked him with the mess I'd made of myself. He shuddered, and his hips bucked into my grip. “I want to feel you come apart.”Drake was behin
I had to bite back a smile at his words.Gotcha.“Everything.” I pulled back from Lud's mouth, gasping. “I need everything. I need two in my hole. I need one in my mouth. I need—” I was babbling and desperate as I reached back to grip Finn's thigh. “I need your hands on me. All of you. I need to be so full I can't think.”Fyre groaned. “Fuck, Palt. You're going to kill me.”“Good,” I breathed.Lud stayed at my front, his thighs bracketing mine, his cock bobbing heavy against his belly, pre-cum beading at the tip. Drake was at my side. He pressed his body against my arm as he bit down hard on my neck, enough to make me cry out. Fyre was behind Lud, positioning himself as he slicked his cock with spit.Moon moved toward me until his face was level with mine before he kissed me. Moaning into the kiss, I reached down and wrapped my hand around his cock. He groaned against my lips as I stroked him, spreading the wetness from the tip down his shaft.“Now,” I said, pulling back. “I can't wai
It has been five freaking months. Yeah, you read that right. Five months, and my mates have refused to touch me. I had tried every means possible to get them to give in to my advances, but all of them proved futile. They were hellbent on not touching me until I was fully healed.And by entirely healed, we're looking at a year or two from now. Yeah, you read that right. A year or two. I quote their words, “We can't afford to put you through the stress of last time. You need to recover from childbirth.”They decided on these without seeking my opinion. They just did whatever they thought I would appreciate and expected me to thank them for it.I had tried countless times, from the 2nd month, to seduce them, but they had decided never to be moved by me.Drake was the worst, and I didn't doubt he was the one who made the others abstain. That my dragon mate needs to be taught a damned lesson!Well, tonight, I won't be taking no for an answer. I'll have them eating out of my hands… No arse
“Me?” I looked at Drake, who had spoken to the others. They nodded. “What if I named them something odd? I mean, my name is Palt.”“And mine is Fyre,” Fyre countered. “Makes me wonder if my mum had a fight with a demon when she named me,” he grumbled, causing all of us to chuckle. I did so lightly so I wouldn't tear up the stitch in my stomach.I hadn't looked down there since that first day because of how disgusting it looked. Whoever the healer who operated on me was, she likely had a vendetta against me. Otherwise, she wouldn't have made such an ugly cut.“Your name takes the cup,” Finn said with a grin. “So, baby, we'll all love the names you give our babies. It doesn't have to be now. Take your time and think about it. If you have to rush, okay?”I bit my lower lip and looked down at the baby in my arms. He was studying me with an unsettling intensity, as if he were waiting to judge the name I'll pick for him. “Emil,” I whispered. “This one is Emil.” I couldn't even tell how the
For four days, I stayed confined to bed until my mates were certain I could move. They hadn't even let me touch any of them because of what happened when I leaned to kiss her. They thought she caused the pain, and no amount of explanation made them believe me.On the fourth day, after having a proper bath and not just getting wiped by them, I ate a light breakfast. With the amount of soup and porridge I had eaten so far, I might give birth to porridge and soup next.After breakfast, I begged them to let me see my babies, and they agreed, as long as I held them one at a time.I complied, and Finn brought the first one. It was a girl, but she didn't have blue hair like the one they brought to me when I woke up. She had dark blonde hair.“She has your nose,” Moon murmured as he settled on the bed beside me. He traced one finger along the baby's cheek. “And your stubbornness, apparently. She was the first to cry and wriggle out of her swaddle.”“Sounds like someone else I know,” Lud said
Dave came to him for protection. He wouldn't give out his location, not even if Adam begged him. At the mention of the bastard he wanted so badly to forget, a cold spike drove through Dave's chest.“Show me,” Dave said. His voice surprised him. He sounded too calm, compared to that rage that was s
He heard the rustle of fabric as Leonard pushed his trousers and briefs the rest of the way off. Then Leonard's hands were on him again, spreading him open. Dave buried his face in the cushion as a hot flush of shame and want washed over him. Leonard's thumb brushed over him, not entering, just tra
“Tell me to stop,” Dave echoed against his skin as he unfastened Leonard's belt with clumsy, urgent fingers. The buckle clinked softly. He got the button open, the zip down, and pushed the trousers and briefs over Leonard's hips.Leonard's cock sprang free, thick and full, curving up against his st
“His mistake,” Leonard said, each word enunciated as if he were speaking to a child, “is his to carry. Not yours. You don’t have to carry it here.”The kind words felt like a blade that sliced through the numb shock he had felt when he got the news, and everything he’d been holding back: the betray
