MasukRosie processed this with the mindset of a child trying to understand adult things. Then she looked up at her father. "Daddy takes care of people too. He takes care of me."Callum's expression cracked around the edges. "Rosie, sweetheart, why don't you go find Catherine? I think she was baking cookies earlier.""Chocolate chip?""Probably."That was all the incentive Rosie needed. She scrambled down from her father's lap, grabbed her backpack, and headed for the door with single-minded determination. She paused just long enough to wave at Damon and Damian. "Bye, kings!"Then she was gone, her small footsteps echoing down the hallway.The silence she left behind was heavy.Callum stood slowly. He didn't meet their eyes. "If you're here to pass sentence, I understand. I'm ready.""Sit down," Damian said.Callum sat. His hands were shaking slightly, Damon noticed. The man was terrified, but he was holding it together. That counted for something.Damon took the chair across from him. Dami
POV: DamonDamon found his brother in the training yard behind the estate, moving through combat forms with the kind of focused intensity that meant he was working something out in his head.The sun was climbing toward midday, and the yard was empty except for Damian. Everyone else had the good sense to give the Alphas space after last night.Damon leaned against the fence and watched his eldest brother drive a brutal combination into the training dummy....jab, cross, hook, uppercut....each strike landing with enough force to make the dummy shudder on its chains."You're going to break that thing," Damon observed mildly.Damian didn't pause. "Then we'll get another one.""Or you could just tell me what's eating at you."This time Damian did stop. He stepped back from the dummy, breathing hard, sweat gleaming on his bare shoulders. His eyes when they met Damon's were sharp. Considering."Callum," Damian said finally.Damon straightened. He'd known this conversation was coming. Had been
Above her she heard Damon groan, and then he was pulsing in her mouth, and she swallowed instinctively while Silas drove deep one final time and followed them both over the edge.For a long moment afterward no one moved. Eve was trembling and breathless and convinced she couldn't possibly survive another round.Then Damian spoke from somewhere behind her."Now for the main event."They positioned her carefully, with a tenderness that seemed at odds with the raw intensity of everything that had come before.Damian reclined against the headboard, his hands guiding Eve to straddle his lap facing away from him. Silas knelt in front of her, his hands steadying her hips. Damon stood beside the bed, watching with dark, hungry eyes."We're going to fill you completely," Damian said in her ear, his voice a low rumble that made her shiver. "All of us. At the same time. Are you ready for that?"Eve's heart was racing so fast she could hear it in her ears. "Yes.""Yes what?""Yes, Alpha."She fel
"You have no idea," Damian panted, "how many nights I've lain in this bed listening to you breathe and wanted to do exactly this. How many times I've had to leave the room because I couldn't trust myself not to claim you right then regardless of the consequences."His hand slid between their bodies and found her clit, and the added stimulation made Eve's inner walls clench around him. Damian swore creatively and thrust harder."Come for me again," he ordered, his voice ragged. "Come on my cock. Now."The third orgasm wasn't a wave. It was a detonation. Eve's entire body went rigid as pleasure exploded through her, whiting out thought, stealing breath, reducing her to nothing but sensation. She felt Damian follow her over a heartbeat later, felt him bury himself to the hilt and pulse inside her as he came with a groan that sounded like it had been torn from somewhere deep in his chest.They stayed locked together for a long moment, both breathing hard, both trembling slightly with afte
Eve woke to sensation.Not sound. Not light. Just the slow, deliberate slide of something warm and wet between her thighs, and for a fraction of a second her sleep-fogged mind couldn't place it....couldn't understand why her body was already arching into the touch, why heat was pooling low in her belly before she'd even opened her eyes.Then she felt the grip on her hips. Firm. Possessive. Holding her legs open.Her eyes flew open.The pre-dawn light filtering through the curtains was soft and grey, but it was enough to see Damian's dark head between her thighs, enough to watch the way his tongue moved against her in long, luxurious strokes that made her breath catch in her throat."Damian..." Her voice came out hoarse. Startled.He didn't stop. Didn't even look up. Just tightened his grip on her hips when she tried to squirm away from the intensity of it, and the rumble of satisfaction that vibrated through his chest told her everything she needed to know about how long he'd been wai
The chamber erupted.Not chaos. Sound. The collective release of hundreds of people who had been holding something for a long time.Eve sat still.She heard it all around her. Voices and movement and the specific noise of a room processing something enormous.She sat still and looked at the document on the table.At the reform her parents had built toward for thirty years and had been stopped from reaching.At the thing she had finished.***They got home at four in the afternoon.The estate was quiet when they came through the portal. The pack was going about its evening. Someone was cooking....she could smell it from the courtyard.Eve stood in the courtyard for a moment after the portal closed and looked at the estate and thought about how strange it was that the world looked exactly the same as it had this morning. Before the vote. Before the chamber erupted and Vassin struck the table and sixty years of buried reform became Conclave law.Nothing looked different.Everything was d
Eve's cry echoed off the tile as he took her roughly from behind, his reflection in the mirror showing that usual intense focus. Making her watch herself being fucked, seeing her own face contort with pleasure."Eyes on the mirror," he commanded when she tried to look away. "Watch what we do to you
Her apartment felt smaller and shabbier than ever after spending the night in luxury. Eve packed a larger bag this time...more clothes, toiletries, her laptop. If she was going to be staying at the estate multiple nights a week, she needed to be prepared.She also grabbed the framed photo of her mo
They rearranged quickly.....Damian on his back, Eve lowering herself onto his cdick, taking him so deep into her pussy. Then Damon behind her, pressing into her ass, stretching her impossibly.And Silas in front, his cock sliding back into her mouth.All three holes filled. All three brothers claim
"How?" Damian challenged. "By abandoning our dying mate to save our pack? By choosing duty over the woman the universe literally bonded us to? By gambling that she'll survive three days alone when every instinct we have is screaming that she won't?""Yes," Eve responded. "By doing exactly that. By
