“Dad, you’re going to have to order me again,” I tell him, feeling the anxiety building up in me again. It’s like a wave that won’t stop cresting over me. I have no idea how to stop it. Which is honestly making the anxiety spike even faster. I’m standing at the top of the hill overlooking the battle. Normally Dad would be in the thick of things, making sure that our pack members are safe. He’s got one of the coolest abilities, I think. Even with all of his tattoos, artifacts of the life that he lived with Aunt Chloe and Aunt Keisha before he met mom, he can fade into the background like he isn’t even there. You can walk right next to him, sniff the air, and look him dead in the eyes and not see him. He’s completely camouflaged to all were senses. The only one that has ever been able to see him was Gregory, because he could duplicate his skills. I remember stories that Mom and Dad told me about their battles. Dad would camouflage himself and sneak right up to the enemy

The feeling of Nate’s skin against mine is addicting. His lips are sweet, his scent a mixture of grass and dirt and sweat in the most masculine way. I had never actually thought that I would kiss Nathan Swift, especially after he found out that Nyx was his mate. But here it is happening. In the back of my mind, I know that this isn’t a good idea. That he’s heartbroken, that the Maiden’s power is riding us right now, and that he won’t stay mine. That once this war is over, his goal is going to be to get Nyx back. But I can’t seem to stop myself. The magick is riding me too hard right now. It’s not the only thing that I want riding me. But I have to pull away. I have to know that it’s not just my love for Nate that is pushing this forward. He has to have a part in this decision too. Gathering all of my strength, I end the kiss with Nathan and pull away. Both of us are breathing hard and I can see that his beautiful dark blue eyes have started to bleed across the whit

“They’re ok!” I tell Jacob. “Thank the Goddess,” he sighs and pulls me into a huge hug. “Where are they?” “Making out on the battlefield,” I giggle. Jacob pulls back, cocking an eyebrow at me. “Seriously?” “Babe, wouldn’t you? We haven’t had Hermes in months! We were all moping around here like we lost our favorite dick,” I say, curious why he’s upset. “I can’t tell if it’s my favorite dick since I haven’t had his dick. Still not sure if I’m ready for a fourth in our mating,” Jacob mumbles. “Dude, fuck off! You know that you want him. We all want him. We’ve talked about this,” I say, smacking him in the chest. Jacob just stares at me. “Are you fucking serious, Jacob?” I swear at him. “Are you really going to deny how much you missed him?” “No, I…I don’t deny it. I just…this didn’t really solve anything, right? I still don’t really know the guy. He still fucked up our matebond. And I’m still not sure if this is what I really want,” he says. “You know w

It takes about another two hours before the feast that Hecate, Selene, and Thor laid before us to come to a close. Between strategizing what will happen next, toasts to the fallen, lamentations over the loss of Nyx, and the good old festivities that comes to the victors of a battle, it takes that long for all of us to calm down. As the feast comes to a close, Selene walks over to my mates and I. Without much preamble, she tells Hermes, “If you are going to stay away from Lucifer, you are going to have to come with us to Valhalla. It’s the only place that we can police who goes in and out without spreading ourselves too thin.” Hermes nods, as if he knew that Selene would say this. “I understand. But I won’t go anywhere without my mates. We’ve spent way too much time without each other. I refuse to be anywhere without them.” That’s not unexpected for him and JoJo, since they are the only ones of us that are marked. No one can be without their marked mate for too long withou

The feeling of Alexander’s hard, thick, length sliding into Josefina’s tightness has my cock standing at attention and aching for them already. I had no idea that it was this intense for a woman to be penetrated. To be teased and fucked. Yes, I’ve had sex with both men and women in my time here on earth. It’s quite difficult to stick with just one gender when you’re around for eons. And I thought that I had tried everything that there is to do with sex and sexual pleasure. It’s why I was glad to have two male mates and one female. I like to be penetrated almost as much as I love penetrating myself and a male can do and take both. But the feeling that I have with Josefina, this understanding of what a woman feels in the midst of pleasure, I had no idea. For one, there’s so many different things that cause pleasure. And it’s more so than any male can feel. Granted, men have a prostate that can be pleasured during anal sex. But women are so much more sensitive in their nippl
