chapter Thirty-One
“Are you sure? That looks as if it hurts.” Cami wrung her hands as they walked into the rooms and cast a look at his face before her eyes fell down to his ribs.
She didn’t want him in pain, but arguing with him all the way up the stairs hadn’t helped. Colm hadn’t said a word. All he’d done was smile and shake his head as she tried to talk some sense into Linc. All right, she had yelled at him at first, but she had told him not to get hurt. It wasn’t such a big request. All those men with them and Linc had to fight Kynar himself.
“I’m certain. If my arm was broken, I’d still want to do this. I want you to know you’re fully and completely ours before we have the ceremony. Our woman, our love, our mate.” Linc ruffled her hair, but his wide smile told her he wasn’t irritated by her persistent questioning.
He guided her into the room and Colm followed, shutting the door behind them. They’d insisted since the mating that the ceremony be delayed. Cami hadn’t really minded. In her eyes and those of almost everyone else, they were fully mated. Because of their position, a formal ceremony was a requirement.
“Now, are you ready to try this?” Linc stopped at the end of the bed and cupped her cheek.
She knew he wasn’t referring to sex. It made her a little nervous. What if it didn’t work again? That was the only thought running through her head. She wasn’t scared about what they were going to do or what this haven was. She simply didn’t want to disappoint them by unintentionally blocking them again.
“I trust you. I love you and have for a while. I don’t want to mess this up, though. I know how important it is to you.” She bit her lip. She should have trusted in the mating, if not the men themselves, from the start.
“You’re not doing this on purpose. We know that. If it doesn’t happen now, we’ll have a good time playing with magic until it does happen. It’s just a matter of time until it does.” Colm pulled her into his arms and hugged her tight.
“I do like playing with magic with you two.” She smiled. Her muscles relaxed a little.
“Good. Let’s try this. You’re going to feel our magic.” Linc’s hand brushed up and down her back. “Out of your clothes and onto the bed with you.”
She laughed a little as she unfastened her shirt. “I remember. I’m going to feel a wave of your magic. It’s not going to hurt me. It will take me to the haven. If for no other reason than finding out what that is or where that is, I’d like it to work.”
“Maybe we’ve talked about that a little too much.” Colm helped her pull off her shirt. His lips curved up into a grin.
She unfastened her skirt and let it fall around her feet before toeing out of her slippers. For once, she left the clothing where it fell. She’d take care of it later. She crawled onto the bed. She’d made it only halfway before she felt the wave of magic sweep over her.
It was different this time than last. The power surrounded her. Warm and tingling, it raced over her skin. Her head spun and streaks of light flashed in front of her eyes. She felt a slight dipping lurch in her stomach as if she was falling. Her fingers splayed and clenched on soft, smooth fabric. She looked down and stared at slightly shimmery, cream-colored fabric. Definitely not the purple blanket on their bed. Her head snapped back up and she looked around for the first time.
White walls framed an arch covered only by sheer white curtains. Outside, flowers carpeted a grassy meadow bordered by a forest. She rose to her knees and took a better look at the room. Her mouth dropped open at the large, round tub near the far wall. Water cascaded into it from an urn held by a statue.
She’d never seen any place similar to this. Each wall had an open arch covered by curtains. One led into another room and the other two led outside onto a white stone courtyard. She loved the light, open feeling of this place.
“Welcome to your haven.” Colm’s voice rolled through the room. “Do you like it?”
“Yes.” She smiled as she turned to face them. They stood at the side of the large bed. “I’ve never seen anything as open as this building or the area. Where is this?”
“It’s not really a where. It’s real, but it’s not on a planet.” Linc climbed onto the bed and pulled her into his arms. “It’s a place where you can go and an enemy can’t get to you.”
“You created this?” She stared at them and then glanced around again in awe. The amount of power that would take astounded her. They said it would be her haven. So they’d have to maintain it too.
“Yes, we had some of the basic parts created. The forest, the waterfall within it and the meadow, but we waited to find the woman we would mate with for other things. We thought you’d like this building and be at ease here if you need to wait for us.” Linc dropped a kiss on her forehead.
“I get from what you’ve said that I’m supposed to come here if I think there’s danger. How am I supposed to get here? Since you created it, I won’t be able to do magic to get me here even if I knew how.” She frowned. She could understand the concept. As Ardin, their mate and children would always be a target for attack.
“The magic that you felt. It established the connection within you and it will bring you here when you need. All you have to do is think of your haven. You won’t need to use your magic at all.” Colm walked around the bed and crawled onto the mattress.
“Is anyone who knows magic capable of doing this?” She tilted her head. She had so many questions, but many of them would wait. Her fingers itched to touch them. She needed to kiss them as she felt the hard muscles and warm bodies pressing against her.
“Not to this extent. Only two men bonded together can do this. It would be too much of a drain on their power for most single men.” Colm drew his hand down her arm before letting the palm rest on her thigh. “Now, are you ready to play a little, Cami, before we go back? There’s a ceremony that must be organized.”
“I’m ready to play. Are you sure you’re finally ready for the ceremony? Maybe we should wait a little longer.” She slid a veiled look at Colm and tried to hide her grin.
“We’re ready.” Colm growled as he lifted her out of Linc’s arms and pressed her down to the bed. “No more delaying. No more sidestepping. You’re ours and you always will be.”
She absolutely loved hearing him say that. “Do you see me fighting it anymore? You’re my mates.”
“I see a tease that might have trouble walking by the time we leave here.” Colm growled and nipped her neck. “Tonight, you get both of your mates.”
“Well, you two better make it good after you kept me waiting so long.” She grinned and squealed when Colm flipped them over and swatted her ass. The slight smack on her butt stung, but anticipation of what would follow sparked a different kind of heat.
“We’ll make it good. So good that you’ll scream and beg for more.” Linc nuzzled her shoulder. His lips spread kisses along her back in a meandering, downward path.
“That good?” She smiled and tilted her head a little to give Colm more access for his nuzzling and nipping.
“Of course, it’ll be that good. Tonight, you get both of us. Are you ready?” Linc’s hands fastened at her hips, pulling her off Colm.
Linc sat on the bed, draping her legs over his, leaving her thighs splayed wide. A cool breeze skimmed across the sensitive lips of her p-ssy. She shivered as desire curled and rose low in her belly. One of his hands cupped her breast, while the other turned her head. His lips locked over hers and his tongue thrust demandingly against hers. She opened for him, welcoming and eager for his taste and touch.
The brush of a hand against her calf tore her attention from Linc’s kiss. She looked down as Colm crawled between their legs. She wondered how long she’d be surprised by the feel of two men touching her and loving her. She didn’t have much time to ponder the matter though. Linc’s fingers tightened around her breast and his thumb flicked across her nipple.
“Are you ready for both of us tonight?” Colm’s fingers traced slowly over the lips of her p-ssy, tormenting her.
“Yes,” she said and licked her lips. She was more than ready, but she was also a little nervous. As much as she wanted them, she didn’t know how she’d react when pressed between them.
“Relax, i’ma, we’ll make sure you’re ready and so involved that you’ll want us both close.” Colm licked her thigh and then grazed the spot with his teeth.
Her breath hitched. The scrape of his teeth and moist warmth of his breath sent tingles straight up her spine. Her thoughts of panic began to fade as her attention centered on the feel of his mouth so close to her p-ssy. Fingers plucking at her nipple tore focus away from Colm’s mouth, but she didn’t look away from him. A moan of pleasure rolled from her as both of Linc’s hands cupped her breasts. He squeezed and tugged at the taut nipples as his mouth trailed over her jaw and neck.
She arched, pressing her breasts into his palms. Her hands covered his trying to get a firmer touch. She needed more. He laughed softly. The sound vibrated against her skin and sparkling tingles spread through her body.
“Before you get too involved there, Linc, give me the oil.” Colm licked so high on her thigh that his breath tickled the lips of her p-ssy.
Linc’s hand left her breast. She almost groaned in regret. He reached back and without taking his lips off hers, found whatever he wanted. She didn’t know if they’d put it there when they joined her earlier and didn’t care. She wanted his hand back where it belonged. He handed the small bottle to Colm and then once again cupped her breast.
“We’re going to get you ready now, i’ma. You’ll be clawing at us to f*ck you,” Linc whispered against the shell of her ear.
She already wanted them to f*ck her. “You’re both taking your time about it.”
Linc chuckled. “We’re making sure you’re wild and ready for this. I’m going to knead these breasts while Colm licks your p-ssy and readies your ass so I can f*ck it. I want you to watch him.”
His hands tightened around her breasts, flicking his thumb over both tight nipples. She looked down. Colm lifted one of her legs and put it over his shoulder. He poured a little oil over his fingers before his mouth lowered to her p-ssy. His tongue swiped upward from her entrance over her *. A flash of fire seared straight up her spine. She tensed and arched into his mouth.
“That feel good? It’s going to feel even better soon.” Linc pinched her nipples between thumb and forefinger. “He’s going to slide his finger into your ass spreading that oil deep. I bet you’re going to clench around his fingers.”
Even as Linc was talking about it, Colm’s fingers brushed against the tight, puckered ring. Her muscles tightened in anticipation. She remembered how good they’d made it feel as they’d prepared her. Colm’s tongue flicked at her * as his finger spread oil around that tight opening.
Linc nibbled a trail down her neck and his hands squeezed and played with her breasts. The two men worked together, pushing her desire higher. She moaned when Colm’s fingers left her, but they soon returned. Slick with oil, they pressed slowly into her. His tongue swept over her * a moment before his teeth grazed the sensitive nub.
Sharp sensation streaked through her. She bucked upward into his mouth. Raw pleasure took control. She lost all sense of time as they tormented her with their mouths and hands. They drew the fiery sensations higher and higher. She writhed and twisted in their grip.
Linc’s hands on her breasts weren’t enough. The feel of Colm’s tongue and mouth only added to the torture. She needed to be f*cked. In desperation, she grabbed for Colm’s shoulders. Her nails sank into his skin as she tried to pull him up her body. He didn’t budge, but her efforts ground her ass against Linc’s cock.
A groan tore from Linc’s throat. “Damn, Colm, is she ready? She’s killing me.”
“She’s ready and so am I,” Colm said in a rough growl.
He moved back, managing to slip free of her grasp. The feel of his fingers leaving her made her want to scream at the loss. He sprawled on his back and held out his arms. She didn’t hesitate. She crawled up to him and straddled him.
“Take me in all the way, i’ma. I need to feel that sweet heat wrapping around me.” His hands clasped her hips, guiding her as she sank onto the thick shaft of his cock.
She groaned. The full feeling itself was almost enough to send her over the edge. A tremor shook her. She rocked her hips, needing to move and find the pleasure that waited just out of reach.
“Wait for Linc.” One of Colm’s hands flattened on her back pulling her down against his chest and his legs widened a little farther. “He’s moving in behind you now.”
She fought to hold off the need a little longer. Hands brushed over her ass. She trembled and tried to hold still. Her body ached with the urge to ride the man beneath her until she screamed her pleasure. Linc’s cock brushed the tight ring. She held onto Colm and tried to wait.
Linc slowly pushed his shaft into her. The muscles stretched and stung a little as they adjusted to the intrusion, but the full feeling only added to the desperate hunger within her. She’d never imagined feeling this level of intensity.
She nipped at Colm, needing them to move. A fine layer of sweat coated her body and her thighs tightened around Colm’s hips. She couldn’t take much more of this.
“So tight. She’s already clenching around me.” Linc’s voice sounded rough. His hands stroked over her thighs.
“Move.” Cami tried to wriggle between them, but didn’t manage much more than a shimmy.
“Oh yes, now,” Colm growled.
They started moving. She moaned. Linc withdrew and pulled her back. Desperate, she sank down onto Colm’s cock. They rocked her body between them, picking up the pace with each stroke. She was so excited already that it didn’t take long for her to climax. Her face pressed against Colm’s chest, she shivered and moaned.
The excitement built again as they continued to drive against her. She pushed back into Linc and rocked back toward Colm. Colm’s lips brushed against hers a moment before his tongue thrust deep in a claiming kiss. She gripped his shoulders. She didn’t think she’d ever get enough of him.
Linc’s teeth nipped at her shoulder and neck. He drove deep pushing her against Colm. Colm’s hands gripped her hips, pulling her tight to him as he came. His harsh groan rumbled against her lips. Her breath caught as another wave of pleasure crashed over her. She shook and gasped, the sensation ripping through her body. Linc surged against her, his cock drove deep. His shout filled her ears as his weight settled on her back.
As soon as he caught his breath, Linc withdrew and sprawled onto the bed. He pulled her over to him and drew her close. She cuddled next to him and felt Colm ease up against her back. A smile curved her lips. She loved this.
“I can’t believe I was so afraid of this.” She nuzzled against Linc’s chest, feeling more than a little embarrassed about it. “I was so scared of the possible rejection that I didn’t even want to try.”
“You weren’t the only one. I didn’t want to take the risk of losing a mate, but I think we’d be right here regardless.” Colm curled an arm around her waist and pulled her buttocks snug against hers.
“You do?” She arched a brow and looked over her shoulder. She remembered all too well the turmoil of wanting to be close to them, but being afraid to trust what she felt. If Laed and Kynar had been caught earlier, she would have left or tried to do it.
“Ummhmm. Once Linc brought up the possibility that you were our mate, I started thinking of you as ours.” Colm hugged her tight.
“And what’s ours we hold.” Linc joined in the hug. His body pressing close. “Fate or destiny knew what it was doing. You’re exactly the type of woman we need. You’re strong enough to stand up to us and beside us when needed as well as sexy enough to keep us hard all night long.”
She chuckled and turned back to drop a kiss on his chin. These men were her future and she didn’t fear her place with them any longer. “You do need someone to keep you in line occasionally. And luckily, I’m the right woman. I’m through fighting myself, you and obviously destiny. You’re mine and I’m holding on tight.”
They might face trouble in the future, but she wasn’t running any longer. They would face and overcome anything that came their way together.
