Chapter 1 June, Dumfries, Scotland “I don’t need a damn man, do you hear me?” Fi McGantry shouted her disgust to the wind rolling over Soulseat Loch. The waves picked up, lapping closer to her sneaker-clad feet. The air turned sharp and biting. She didn’t care. Anger kept her warm. “Warm, hell,” she snorted. “I’m burning with rage. And it’s all your fault.” She raised her voice so the fates or gods or whoever the hell was in charge of love could hear. “I knew he was wrong for me from the beginning, but did you listen? No. Now look what’s it gotten me.” She unfurled her hand, staring at the golden wedding ring that once held so much love and promise. “Cheated on, dumped, and divorced. Fuck you! And take this piece of crap back. I am done with men. Done! Never again, I swear it.” Fi hurled the ring as far into the loch as she could manage, fury giving her strength and distance. The wind whipped and howled, like the moan of a woman enraged. A woman like her. It was a satisfying sound. Proof she was correct. Even nature was on her side. She cupped her hand over her

eyes and watched the glimmering gold arc over the loch. As the eerie moan grew, the water surged into a high peak and swallowed the ring. She dropped her hand to her side, refusing to acknowledge the tear that pooled at the corner of her eye. “Done, damn you. No more men.” Fi spun on her heel and tromped to the path leading up to her cabin. Behind her, the wind gusted, shoved her in the back, and sent her sprawling. A mocking, harsh laugh sounded behind her. She pushed the hair from her eyes and looked over her shoulder. Impossibly, it looked like the faint outline of a woman hovered above the churning water. Pointing in her direction. Her ring finger gleamed. Fi swallowed hard. “Oh, shit.” The figure glided to the edge of the loch and Fi scrambled to her feet. “What the hell?” “Done with men, are you?” The ghostly figure’s voice was sultry, exotic, and highly pissed. “We’ll see about that, Fi McGantry.” “What are you?” Fi gasped, trying to move away, but her feet were firmly stuck to the ground. “You may call me Goddess.” She came even closer. Her beauty was more than incomparable, it was impossible. Exquisite, delicate, beautiful, feminine. Everything a woman should be and everything more. “You’re a myth,” Fi managed. Oh, damn, she was in a world of trouble. An otherworld of trouble. “Obviously not.” The Goddess stopped in front of her, hard fury sweeping from her dark eyes. “I gave you a gift,” she spat. Fi’s anger kicked back in. “Yeah? Well, your damn gift is fucking anything that’s blonde, busty, and goes down.” The Goddess’s face softened and she held out her hand. The one with the ring. Her ring. Fi recoiled. “I understand your hurt and pain. Next time will be different.”

“Next time? There isn’t going to be any next time, Goddess.” Fi sneered. “I mean it. I am done with men.” “Fiane Elizabeth McGantry, do not mock me.” The loch rolled and surged. “I’m not mocking you. There is not a single man on earth I want. Not one. Never again.” The Goddess paused, lightning illuminating her dark eyes. “You will change your mind.” “No, I will not.” Fi clenched her teeth. This was ridiculous. She was arguing with a myth. A legend borne of desperate, drunk women. There was no Goddess, there was no destiny, there was no such thing as love. The wind shoved at her again. She stumbled backward but didn’t fall. The Goddess swelled and towered over her. Again, the beringed finger reached out, settling on her head. Heat and cold burned through Fi and she gasped, sinking to her knees. “You did this to yourself, Fiane McGantry. You earned this with your mockery.” Fi barely heard the words. Her ears felt like they were stuffed with cotton, and her whole body shuddered. Her insides cramped and spasmed then a slow, deep burn began between her legs. She gasped and looked up. The Goddess’s beautiful face was twisted in fury and intent. Desire seared through Fi so quickly it stole her breath. She became acutely aware of her entire body, but most especially her erogenous zones. Her breasts ached and swayed heavily, even in her bra. The once-soft material now rubbed her nipples, tightening them into hard, sensitive peaks. She wanted to rub her nipples, tweak them, relieve the building pressure. “What are you doing?” she asked, cupping her breasts. “Try putting out the fire between your legs without a man, Fiane.” The Goddess jerked her hand away. “When you’re ready to give in,

return to the lake and call my name. I might be ready to forgive you. Provided you beg well enough.” With a flash and a burst of mist, the Goddess disappeared, leaving Fi panting, aroused, and in total disbelief. “Bullshit,” she muttered, pushing to her feet. None of that just happened. Too much whisky, too little sleep, too much stress. She didn’t know which was to blame, but she knew it wasn’t real. She didn’t believe in the fae, certainly not the ones supposedly in charge of love. Fi held on to that belief the entire way back to her house even though her breasts continued to ache and her pussy throbbed and flared, each step an agony of sensation. Pushing open the door, she stepped into the large kitchen she’d remodeled into a baker’s dream. Her dream. Since opening her bakery in town two years earlier, she’d longed for a place she could test new recipes without bumping her elbows into everything. The one silver lining of her divorce was this kitchen. Professional, stainless steel appliances, durable granite, a huge double sink, and almost more storage than she had in town. Today, though, she didn’t feel the same satisfaction. Now her body pulsed and shuddered in places she hadn’t felt in what seemed like forever. Certainly her exhusband had never made her tits this tender or her pussy this needy. She bit her lip. “Damn, I’m hot. Water, get some water.” Fi stumbled across the kitchen, filled a glass with cold water, and gulped it down. It did nothing to ease her fire. With effort, she made her way into her bedroom, stripping as she went. Once in the blessed coolness of her room, she dropped onto the bed and sucked in a deep breath. Her shoulder twitched and she closed her eyes, one hand drifting to lie across her breasts. The mere touch sent a shudder of anticipation through her, and her hips writhed. “What is wrong with me?” Her fingers drifted downward. She rarely masturbated, but tonight something pulled at her. She spread

her legs, slid her finger through her curls, and found her clit. It throbbed in response and she rubbed a light circle. Her pussy clenched, needy and empty. Fi slid one long digit, then another into her slick hole. She bent her fingers, tugging upward, thumb finding and rotating her clit. The fire flared higher, powering through her without warning, and she was tempted to insert a third finger. Something she’d never done, never contemplated. It was as though she were completely out of control of her body and her desires. The urge to come overpowered any rational thought. She whimpered and plunged her fingers harder in and out. Her other hand slipped down and took over at her clit, rubbing with ruthless pressure. Almost, almost, almost. “Oh, God,” she whispered as an orgasm approached. Fi tightened her ass and lifted her pussy into her palms, pushing down, drawing out the shuddering feeling. As soon as it finished, she dropped back to the bed and sighed as the heat ebbed, too. She remained there, sprawled and panting, for a long moment. Finally, she rose and headed for the shower. Just as she turned the spigot, another wave of lust hit her and she groaned, hanging onto the wall. She squeezed her thighs together, cranked up the pressure on the showerhead, and stepped into the tub. Her fingers trembled as she lifted the blasting head from its holder. It was going to be a long night. **** “Fi McGantry,” Clarissa intoned, flipping open a manila folder. Alec Donovan tried to read the report upside down, but she kept rustling and turning pages. “Patience, dear boy, you’ll find out soon enough.” Boy.

He hated it when she said shit like that. Sure, she was a good three hundred years older than either he or Kade, but she made them sound like young pups. “You are a young pup,” she murmured, handing him a glossy photo. “But you’re coming along nicely.” “Stay out of my head,” he muttered. “What’s her story?” The woman in the picture was beautiful. Her green eyes winked merrily and a wide, happy smile tipped up her full mouth. She had a long, lean face with high cheekbones and dark brows. Glossy hair in shades of red-shot ebony spilled around her shoulders. “She is going crazy,” Clarissa said. The door to the Council room opened and he turned, relieved to see Kade Maclintock stroll in. “Finally,” he said to him, shoving the picture at his partner. “I was tied up,” Kade murmured. Alec snorted, knowing it was more likely he’d had some luscious little thing tied up instead. He returned his attention to Clarissa. “Crazy? Why?” “She’s been cursed by the Goddess.” “How?” Kade asked. “Each month, she turns into a raving, sex-driven maniac. For twelve hours, she must have sexual relations, but there is little relief for her to be found. Each orgasm only drives the next one faster.” “Ouch, what in the hell did she do?” Alec asked. Clarissa stared at him over the rim of her glasses. “She’s the Goddess, does it really matter?” “Yes,” Kade responded. “Helps us ensure she doesn’t do it again after we break the curse.” “Which, by the way, we do by…?” Clarissa folded her hands on the long wooden table and studied them both. Alec resisted the urge to squirm. She looked at the six people seated to her left and right down the length of the table then sighed. “Fi has spent fifteen months battling her curse. She’s fragile

and teetering on the edge. This assignment is quite delicate, and I want you to treat it with the utmost sincerity.” “Don’t we always?” Alec murmured, flashing a grin. “No, you don’t. The two of you rarely take anything seriously. However, you are the best team I have, especially for the scope of this problem.” Clarissa stood, holding out her hand and taking the picture from Kade. “Fi’s only crime was an outburst against love. The Goddess has pushed her too far. This young woman is about to go mad. And I’m trusting you two to end it.” She grimaced and tugged at her glasses. “It won’t be easy, and you’ll probably fail the first time or two. But she won’t have longer than that.” Alec had a very bad feeling about this one. “Cut to the chase, Clarissa. Tell us what we need to do.” Kade’s sharp tone sent a jolt to Alec’s crotch. It’d been a long time since he’d submitted to his friend. Must look into remedying that. Soon. “She’s going to have to have fifty orgasms in those twelve hours to break it.” “Fifty? Holy fuck. Is the Goddess on a power trip?” Clarissa glared at Kade. “Mind your tongue, Kincade. Though she cannot penetrate our magicks here, she is not someone to trifle with. Now then, you will be linked to Fi telepathically so you can hear her inner requests and desires. And with your special abilities, I’m hoping it will be enough to help her.” “What if we can’t?” Alec asked. Clarissa’s face became drawn. “Then she will go irreversibly mad.”

Chapter 2 “What did you do to piss off the Goddess?” The question, delivered in a deep, whisky-smooth voice, snapped Fi’s head up. Her breath caught. Even in the dim light of the bar, the man was gorgeous. A freaking walking cliché of tall, dark, and handsome. Except that handsome didn’t begin to cover it. He had the face of an angel gone bad. Deep, mesmerizing blue eyes that likely tempted anyone snared in his gaze, ringed in deep, dark lashes, giving him a sleepy, sensual look. The wide planes of his face were hard and chiseled, the perfect backdrop for his full mouth and long, Roman nose. In the dim light of the bar, his hair skirted his shoulders in a tousle of deep honey. Not exactly dark, but damn sexy. Good lord. Fi shifted on her hard barstool and looked over her other shoulder to see if he might be talking to anyone else. They were quite alone in this back section of the bar. She’d chosen this spot for its secluded appeal. Dark, dim, and quiet. It afforded her the space she needed to pile in a few rum and Cokes before the sun set, the full moon rose, and her monthly agony began. She’d learned the hard way being cursed really, really sucked. Being cursed to turn into a raging nymphomaniac with no prospects was even worse. Her vibrators and dildos did absolutely nothing to ease the itch she’d been blasted with, so Fi decided this month to try alcohol. Liquor herself up into such a state that sex never even entered her mind. “Lass? Did you hear me?”

The man drew closer, enveloping her in a wave of musk, top-ofthe-line cologne, and pure, male sex. Her pussy clenched. Oh, no. Not fair, it was too early. The sun had not yet set. Fi fumbled for her purse, slapped a twenty on the bar, and tried to jump down and scoot around the man. Lord, he was big. Huge, even. He had shoulders like the Hulk, pushing the seams of his T-shirt with impressive girth. The sleeves cupped tightly at drool-worthy biceps. Fi swallowed hard, imagination already up and running. She really shouldn’t continue to stare, but figured what the hell. She could always use extra fantasy material. This guy had the body every man dreamed about and every woman wanted. His shirt, a dark colored number, spread over a massive chest and covered what she would sucker-bet her next orgasm were washboard abs. He’d tucked the shirt into a pair of finefitting jeans that molded powerful thighs. Her pussy throbbed harder. That wasn’t all that looked powerful. The denim curved around his cock like a lover’s palm. Fi sucked back a groan of appreciation. Hell, even if she hadn’t been cursed, she’d have to have been dead twice not to notice the appeal of the stranger. “Enjoying the view, lass?” A flush not entirely due to embarrassment warmed her cheeks. She cleared her throat. “What did you say about the Goddess?” Tall, dark, and sex-me-now eased further into her space. She leaned backward, causing their legs to brush. An electric current looped between her nipples, her pussy, and her brain at the contact. Fuck me, fuck me, fuck me. The litany slammed through her. His brow raised. “Later, lass. But now, I’d like to know what you did to incur the curse of The Burn. Never known anyone to be hit with that bit o’ nasty.”

Holy hell, who was this guy? What did he know? How did he know it? Fi covered her eyes with her palm. “Who are you?” she whispered. His fingers, slightly rough but ever-so-gentle, peeled her hand away. He tipped her chin up and winked. “Walk with me.” She wanted to. In fact, every sense she had, including common, screamed out for her to go. But… years as a city girl who watched the news kept her at the bar. “I don’t know you. What if you’re a serial killer?” He winked again, a slow, lazy smile lifted his full mouth. Good lord, was that an orgasm? Hot, wet need pooled between her shaking legs. The moon must be about to rise. She had to get home. Certainly she needed to leave this tempting man’s presence. What in the hell would he do if she jumped him right here? If she didn’t leave, that scenario could become reality. “I promise you no harm, lass.” He cocked his head, holding out his arm. “I’m Alec Donovan, and I’ve been sent by the Council to help you break the curse.” Instant hope flared in her, dousing any hint of suspicion, not that she’d had any. Trust him, Fiane, he speaks truth. ’Tis the way. The words drifted through her mind, the voice of her dearly-departed Gran. The one who’d warned her against messing with the Goddess. Fi hadn’t listened to Gran then, but she sure as hell was going to this time. She stood and took his arm. “I’m Fi McGantry,” she said, taking his arm. He covered her fingers, stroking lightly, sending her pulse skyrocketing. “Aye, darlin’, I know just who you are.” ****

The lass was small and beautiful, not what he’d expected at all. Alec could feel her heart whipping like waves on the loch, smell her sweetness. She was both nervous and sexually excited. Of course, he thought he should not take that personally. Not yet. Was likely the curse affecting her so. He looked at the dimming sky. Already the moon wavered hazily on the horizon. She should be feeling the effects of her affliction soon. “My apartment isn’t too far up the way.” “Apartment?” she squeaked. “Aye. As we walk, I’ll try to ease your worries.” She looked at him dubiously then sighed. Her mouth, painted an erotic, enticing red, pursed, and she shrugged. “You say you can break this damn curse? I’m with you, man. It’s driving me insane.” He winced in empathy. “It’s meant to, darlin’. In fact, ’tis a burden so potent, use of it has been outlawed by the council. That is why they sent me. It can’t be reversed, but it can be broken.” Her fingers dug into his forearm for a scant second. Her lean, lithe figure held some strength. He grinned. That would come in handy later. As would those fabulous long legs of hers. His cock and balls ached with anticipation of having her wrapped around him. Holding on to her calves as he slammed into her. “So, tell me what you did to the Goddess.” He wanted the words from her very own, luscious mouth. A blush covered her cheeks and she ducked her head, hiding her face behind a drape of wavy black hair. “I taunted her, that’s what. Gran said not to, but I did. Stood at Soulseat Loch, tossed in my wedding ring, cursed her name then mocked her, saying I didn’t need a man anyway.” Fi’s brogue had deepened with each word, testament to her upset. Alec whistled silently. “Crap, lass, what were you thinking?” She sighed, lifting her head and meeting his gaze with shimmering green eyes. “I’d just found my husband fucking my barely-legal

neighbor. In our bed. How gauche. He didn’t even have the decency to bag a cougar and do it in a swanky hotel. I tossed them both out, but it wasn’t enough. Hence, my trip to the lake.” “Gutsy, to take her on that way.” “Stupid, you mean.” He squeezed her hand. “Aye, that, too.” He opened the wrought iron gate in front of his three-story brick walk-up and motioned her inside. “But we’re here to fix that now. No worries.” Alec unlocked the door, ushered her in, and said, “Go upstairs to the second floor. It’s an open living room and suite combination up there. I’ll be up in a jiffy.” He patted her backside and gave her a push. She gasped, hands cupping her ass, but a smile tugged at her lips. “You know about the curse, but do you know it all?” Alec frowned. “Like what?” “Like how long I’ve had it.” “One year, three months.” Her shoulders relaxed, smile widening. “And you’re certain you can break it?” Alec chuckled, moving swiftly in front of her. Sliding his hand into her hair, he tugged her head back. “Aye,” he whispered hotly. “Positive.” He covered her mouth in a scorching kiss, taking her gasping moan into his mouth. She clutched at his arms, molding her breasts to his chest. Alec nipped at her bottom lip and her mouth dropped open. He circled her lips with his tongue, tapping at hers when she pushed forward. Demanding wench. He liked that. Alec pulled back, breathing heavily. Fi’s eyes were hooded and filled with erotic need. “Aye, Fiane, tonight, we’re going to make you come until the curse is lifted. Now go on, go upstairs.”

She raked a hand through her hair. “I believe you can do it, Alec.” Fi turned away, giving him another view of her perfect, rounded ass. He sighed with pleasure. Couldn’t wait to take that, either. Suddenly she turned, one hand on the banister, one foot on the next tread. “Wait a minute. We?” He laughed again. “I’m just one man, Fi. I’m good, but not that good. Go upstairs and meet my friend Kincade.”

Chapter 3 Fi climbed the gleaming hardwood stairs quickly, fingers dancing over the polished railing. Free, she would soon be free. The landing on the second floor opened into a wide living space with leather couches and chairs scattered about. On the far side, a fire crackled merrily, warding off the chilling September air. Fi scanned the area. “Hello?” she called out. The air stirred at her back. She whirled and found what had to be Alec’s friend, Kincade, standing behind her. He was just as big, just as handsome. His eyes burned amber instead of blue, and his hair as black as a midnight sky, right down to dappled hints of silver. He didn’t have Alec’s sharp cheekbones, but they shared similarlychiseled jawlines. “Ach, he found you, lass. Good. I’m Kade.” He held out his hand. She shook it, surprised to feel the same electrical spark as when Alec touched her hand. Her entire body warmed and fluttered, her mouth suddenly as wet as her pussy. She was going to have him, too? “Aye, you’ll have the two of us. However you want.” Humor coated his words. Fi felt a blush creep up her chest, or maybe that was the heat of anticipation burning through her nipples. Either way, she was growing restless, needy. The curse was rising, but being around these two men seemed to propel it even faster. Kade cupped her elbow and guided her to the main living area. An enormous plush rug covered the entire floor. Two long, dark brown

leather sofas anchored the carpet facing each other. A matching ottoman sat in the middle of the room. “Sit, lass. Take off your shoes. Can I pour you a drink?” He urged her onto the ottoman. The leather was deliciously warm from the fire. Fi nudged off her shoes and slid them under the couch in front of her, even as she tracked Kade’s movements to the bar. “Got any rum and Coke?” “Sure thing.” Heavy footsteps sounded on the stairs just as Kade handed her a tall, chilled tumbler filled to the rim with rum and a splash of soda. She sipped at it, sighing happily as the potent sweetness slipped down her throat. For a moment, just one, the burn slightly subsided. Alec appeared and sat down next to her. “You’ve met Kade.” She nodded, still wondering if she was an idiot for buying into this. “You’re not,” Alec said, a hurt look on his face. “Not what?” she asked. “An idiot.” Her eyes widened and she spilled some of her drink down her shirt. That was getting downright creepy. “How’d you know what I was thinking?” “Part of the gift, lass,” he said gruffly. “I told you, we’ve been sent to help you, not harm you. Unless you like that sort of thing, but still, it’s a pleasurable hurt, isn’t it?” “Uh, yes?” “Quit teasing her, Alec. Have you explained everything?” “Some. Finish your drink, Fi, so we can begin. The moon is nearly visible.” She shuddered and downed the remainder of the drink, relishing the alcoholic bite. Kade swiped her glass and set it on the bar before sitting next to his friend. Together, the pair proved an impressive panorama of male beauty. Each exuded sex in waves. Fi’s blood started to burn, breath nipping in and out in short gasps.

“You’re going to break this curse for me,” she said. “What else is there to know?” Kade looked at Alec, tipping his head in her direction. “Tell her.” Alec slid off the couch and knelt in front of her. The position sent a thrill through her. His face was right in line with her breasts. She arched her back just a hint before she realized what she was doing. “Yes, we’re going to try to break it. Do you know what’s involved?” Fi shook her head. “She didn’t say how to break it.” The men shared a glance. When Alec looked back at her, passion burned in his eyes. “Tonight, dear Fi, we’re going to fuck you senseless.” She shuddered, one hand reaching for his shoulder. “God,” she whispered. “In order to break your curse, you must have fifty orgasms between the moon rise and dawn breaking.” Her eyes widened so much she thought they would pop from her head. “Fifty? I have to come fifty times in ten hours? Is she fucking insane?” Kade winced, gaze lifting to the ceiling. His lips moved, but she didn’t hear what he said. Alec gripped her hand. “Don’t make it any worse. Yes, fifty. And they all have to be real. No faking.” Fi squirmed on her seat. That mind-reading crap also sucked. “How would she know if I was faking?” Alec stroked her wrist with his thumb, a light scowl on his face. “She’d know, but more than that, I’d know.” His expression lightened and he winked at her. “Besides, lass, you’re not going to need to fake them. Not with us.” She remained still and stiff, despite the soothing movement of his flesh on hers. “Look, I know I’m multi-orgasmic and I’m grateful for that. But fifty? I’ll die. You’ll die.” “It’s only five an hour, actually. Quite doable,” Kade said.

The faintest hint of a blush tinged Alec’s high cheekbones. “No one will die, lass, nor will we be injured if that is your worry,” he said gruffly then cleared his throat. “Kade and I have a special bond. Though we can use no magic to make you come, we can, ahem, revive each other within just a couple of minutes.” It took a moment for her to understand, but when she did, the knowledge went straight to her clit. Fi squeezed her legs tightly together as another hot surge throbbed in her pussy. She’d always fantasized about two men together. “We know,” Kade murmured from the couch. He grinned lazily at her. “It’s one of the reasons we were chosen. The Council wanted every weapon available to help break this curse.” He, too, moved closer, but sat next to her on the ottoman. Alec remained on the floor. She was surrounded by testosterone. Her nipples tightened, the friction of her bra rubbing on them, eliciting a small grunt. Hazily she wondered what Council, but the men had her nearly undivided attention. Alec put his hand on Kade’s thigh, reached up, and cupped her breast with the other hand. “So, Fi, will watching me take Kade’s cock in my mouth and sucking him back to hard make you come?” She shuddered and arched, eyes fluttering as her mind envisioned exactly that scene. “It just did,” she whispered. Alec grinned and tweaked her nipple. “That’s one.”

Chapter 4 “I suggest we take this party to the bedroom,” Kade said as he rose. “Alec, bring her.” Alec glanced sharply at his friend. “Mind your tone, Kincade, I’m not one of your submissives tonight.” Kade’s lip curled up. “More’s the pity.” Alec slugged him in the shoulder as he passed. “Such a bastard.” He turned to Fi who remained motionless on the ottoman, mouth slightly agape watching them. He knelt in front of her, taking her hands in his. “Are you all right there, darlin’?” Her tongue flicked at the corner of her mouth. In and out, back and forth. Alec’s cock rose swiftly, pushing hard and painful against his zipper. Somewhat surprised but altogether pleased and aroused, he stood, cupped her chin, and tugged her face forward. “I want your mouth on me,” he said with a growl. Her fingers gripped his thighs, and she inhaled sharply. Fi’s glimmering green eyes peeked up at him through her lashes. Raw lust coated her features. Her scarlet-tipped nails dug into his jeans. “Aye, you want it, don’t you?” He thrust his hips closer to her face. “Want to taste me.” “God, yes,” she breathed. “Pull my zipper down, Fi. Take my cock out and taste me.” The lush curve of her mouth deepened. “Shouldn’t we be going to the bedroom? Kade is waiting for us.” Alec growled and put his hands behind her head, forcing her closer. “I can’t wait to feel your mouth on my cock. Do it. Now.”

Her inhalation was sharp and shaky, but her eyes dilated with pleasure. Within seconds she had him unzipped, jeans shoved to his knees, and hard erection mere centimeters from her mouth. Alec’s knees trembled inside his skin as her lips parted, their wet warmth open and beckoning. He wanted his dick slick from her mouth, burning in its heat. “Holy hell, you’re huge.” He grunted. “Can you handle it?” She scooted closer, ass hanging on the side of the ottoman. One hand just circled the base of his shaft, her palm pressed against his ball sac. “I think so.” He gripped her shoulder. “Now, Fi, take my dick in your mouth, now.” Fi’s gaze lifted from his crotch, her fingers milking him lightly, snaring him with her witchy green gaze. He held his breath as she leaned forward, exhaling on a sharp groan when her heated breath slid over the head of his cock. He gripped her shoulder. “God,” he rasped. Sudden suction surrounded the tip, and every nerve ending shot to attention. Her lips formed a seal around his shaft, and he felt a wave of concussive pressure as she slipped hard over the ridged head and down. The suction lessened the deeper she went, but her tongue slid up and down, swabbing the length of him. Finally, she came to rest, her nose still three or four inches from his short and curlies. Her hot, heavy breath warmed the sensitive skin. Moisture seeped from her lips, further coating him. She stilled there, holding him captive with her mouth and her eyes. Then, her lips twitched upward and she closed around the head of his cock, before once more sucking him deeper into her mouth, ripping another guttural groan from him. He cupped her head, holding her in place. “Don’t, lass,” he rasped. “’Tis too soon to be spurting down your throat.”

This time she moaned. The vibration spilled up and down his erection. He looked, catching sight of her hand between her legs, rubbing fiercely. Alec pulled her head back until her lips covered only the head. Moving his hips back and forth, he watched her hand, saw the flush of impending orgasm coloring her cheeks. “Sucking my cock turns you on? Are you going to come just by blowing me, Fi?” Alec struggled to hold his release, but her mouth was working magic on him, as was the thought she was so turned on by the act that she, herself, was about to come. “Mmm-hmmm,” she murmured, fingers working hard along his erection, the other thrumming between her thighs. He gritted his teeth. “All right, darlin’. Have one more before we adjourn to the bedroom, but dinna make me come.” Her eyes narrowed, but she nodded, tugging his hardness down with her lips. “Shit,” he muttered, fisting her hair, helping her maintain a slower speed. The pressure built in his balls, but he ignored it, watching her closely. Her passion spiraled up, burning hot. “That’s it, Fi, come for me.” She sucked hard, pulling him so deep into her mouth he felt all her muscles clench around him. Her back arched and she slammed her eyes shut, both hands dropping to her crotch. She shuddered and moaned around him as her climax rolled over her. Her back teeth lightly scraped his dick and he gasped in delight. Several seconds of shaking and quivering passed, and all the while Alec’s cock throbbed in her hot mouth demanding release. He gripped the base hard, preventing any accident. Finally she released him with a pop, sinking fast onto the floor. “Wow,” she said, wiping her lips. “That was incredible.” He grunted, shoving his cock back into his pants. He reached down a hand for her. “It’s only going to get better, then.” Fi grinned at him, energy burning through her body. Sexual anticipation singed every nerve she had, demanding more. She knew

it was the curse, but this time it didn’t frighten her. This time, she’d be well rid of it. And apparently, have a damn fine time doing it, too. She chuckled. “What’s so funny?” Alec asked. She looped her arm through his and walked through the living room with him. “I was just thinking that I’m about to get the hell fucked out of me. Literally.” He laughed too. It was a low, baritone chuckle that poured over her like warm honey. She squeezed his arm. “I don’t think the Goddess would appreciate any sort of reference to her attributes being hell, though,” he said. Fi snorted but remained silent, heeding Kade’s advice not to make it worse. They reached the bedroom and Fi’s mouth dropped open. It was huge. Bigger than the tiny apartment she had in town over her bakery. “It’s gorgeous,” she said softly, looking around. Like the living room, it was appointed in lush, dark fabrics and leathers. A huge bed, definitely enough room to fit the three of them, stood against the north wall. Dark wood scrolled with Celtic symbols and vines surged upward on four posts. A deep earthen-orange fabric draped luxuriously along the top of the posts. Matching bedclothes adorned the bed. Fi glanced around the rest of the room. The other wall held a huge mirror edged in the same scrolled wood, a desk, and two towering bookshelves that were stuffed with books, dragons, and bits of shiny rocks. Directly across from the door where she stood, a bay of floor-toceiling windows looked out onto distant Soulseat Loch. Goose bumps rose on her flesh as she was reminded yet again of her own stupidity. Then a second flush of heat as her wet pussy throbbed as she realized her sexual salvation was at hand. And cock. She held back a grin that probably would have looked slightly loony. “Where’s Kade?”

“Bathroom,” Alec said, pushing at the small of her back. He shut the door behind her, snapping the lock shut. A door on the left opened and Kade stepped out, wearing only a pair of boxer briefs. His body was taut and strong with the lean grace of a stalking panther. His chest corded and flexed with muscle as he moved across the room, black hair slightly damp. Droplets of water clung like a lover’s kiss to his shoulders. She wanted to lick them off, one by one. He stopped in the center of the room, hands on hips, watching her, inviting her appraisal. Unabashed, Fi allowed her gaze to roam over the rest of him. The same broad shoulders as Alec, confirmation that his abs were as tight and hard as any underwear model. Her eyes were pulled to the large mound between his thighs. He, too, appeared very well endowed. She’d had enough trouble taking Alec as far in her mouth as she’d managed. Kade looked even bigger. “I am, lass, though we don’t really care about that.” Fi felt herself burn crimson. That particular ability was starting to annoy her. Kade smiled and he tweaked her nose. “Too damn bad. Now, come here.” He led her across the room to the bed. A small table sat beside it, the gleaming top clear and open, a small, golden knob centered just below. Kade opened the drawer and pulled out a bottle of lube. “Okay, over here.” “What’s that for?” she asked, even as she obediently followed him to one of the bookcases where he stood and stared at one shelf that held a scattered array of polished stones and gems. His hand passed over them several times. “Ah, this one.” He picked up a dark burgundy, oval stone with swirls of pink glittering throughout it. Alec appeared at her side, he, too, now only in boxer briefs. Her saturation level skyrocketed and it took every ounce of will she had not to rub her clit again. She’d been right on the money; the man was cut, sculpted, and hunger inducing. Much like Kade, power

radiated from him. His chest was just as defined, just as tempting. More so, she thought, fingers itching to touch him. Hard muscle covered with a mat of dark blond hair that looked as soft as a feather and meandered down toward his crotch. “Fi, pay attention,” Alec said. “What’s that?” She forced her attention back to Kade. He winked as he turned around. “Hold out your hand. You, too, Alec.” Again, without conscious thought, she followed his command and lifted her hand, palm up. Alec’s joined hers, the triangle completed by Kade as he touched his fingertips to theirs. He dropped the oval stone at the junction of their fingers. “What’s going on?” Fi demanded. The stone grew warm and vibrated. “It’s a Goddess stone,” Alec murmured. “It will give us guidance,” Kade said. Guidance. More like a pain in my ass. The stone shook some more, generating an even greater wave of heat. Fi’s heart raced with both fear and excitement. Beneath that, though, her blood burned at the touch of their flesh on hers. Their near nudity and incredible display of masculine beauty had her sopping in her jeans. She was impatient. Wanted to rip her own clothes off and fall into a heap on the bed, each of them pleasuring her to orgasm. The stone flared brightly and pink rays shot upward in a spray about eight inches above the stone. As she watched, the face of a beautiful woman appeared. Almost too beautiful to look at. Arrogance crested each feature. “Goddess,” Kade said, bowing his head. Alec followed suit. Fi glared at the image. Alec nudged her with his bare toe and she started, feeling as though he’d scalded her. “Goddess,” she muttered.

“Greetings, Fiane.” The head swiveled, taking in both Alec and Kade. “I see the Council chose wisely. I am disappointed, of course, but I understand.” She looked at Fi again. “I admit, I didn’t expect this one to have such passion in her or I would not have made the curse so strong.” Fi snorted. “So, why don’t you just take it back?” The Goddess’s eyes darkened and her brow lowered ominously. Kade sighed. “She speaks in haste, Goddess. We are prepared to break the curse ourselves.” “Even if it is against my wishes?” she asked. Kade nodded. “Our first obedience is to the Council who governs us. And you, as well,” he added lightly. She smiled. “Very well, you have my blessing. The stone will track the time and the number of orgasms left.” She looked at Fi, searing her with the angriness in her gaze. “If this works, Fiane, I expect better of you in the future.” The woman rubbed her the wrong way, and Fi could no longer hold back her sass. “And if it doesn’t work?” The Goddess’s smile widened. “Then you will continue to be mine.” Her image vanished, replaced by a slowly blinking 48. Fi looked at each man. “What the hell did that mean?” Alec hitched one dark brow. “Exactly what it sounds like. If we can’t make you come forty-eight more times tonight, you will continue to be cursed.” His cerulean gaze hit on Kade, who shook his head. Fi narrowed her eyes at the both of them. “What aren’t you telling me?” Alec sighed, dragging a hand through his hair. “Nothing, Fi, time’s a-wasting. We have a lot to do.” The pink stone flashed for a moment and the 48 was replaced by 8:58. Kade cursed and stalked to the bedside. He deposited the rock on the table then held his hand out for her.

“Come here, Fi.” What was it about him that made her move in his direction without thought, without objection? She wasn’t normally this much of a pushover. She was distracted, though. That must be it. Raucous thoughts bounded through her mind. Quick visual snapshots of her in various sexual positions, the two men together, their cocks, her pussy, her mouth. She swallowed hard and tried to shut her brain down. Kade tipped her chin up, searching her face, her eyes, what felt like her very soul. “Don’t worry, Fi, we’ll make each one of those images come true. And then some.” “Let’s get your clothes off,” Alec murmured from behind her. He was itching to explore her skin, her body. Wanted to see what deliciousness she was hiding beneath her jeans and cable-knit sweater. She half-peered over her shoulder, giving him a dimpled smile. “All right, gentlemen, I’m at your disposal this evening, it would seem.” Her voice hitched for a moment. “So, uh, should I tell you what I like or what? You know, to make coming easier?” “You have a prolific, imaginative mind, Fi. You’ve already told us how to please you. Not to mention it appears you are multi-orgasmic naturally. That will help us greatly,” Kade said. He reached out, gripped the hem of her sweater, and slowly slid it upwards. “Hands up.” He continued the slow pull, exposing supple, honeyed skin. The red strap of her racy lace bra wrapped around her ribcage, like the stripe of a lover’s tongue. Her head disappeared into the fabric as Kade dragged it over and off, tossing it to the floor. Alec took his time perusing the back of Fi McGantry. Glorious was the only word that readily came to mind. She was sleek and lean, but with plenty of muscle beneath the silken skin. Her waist nipped in tight above the band of her low-rise jeans. A scrap of matching scarlet peeked out from the back of the jeans, partially

covering a small tattoo etched on her right hip. He eased the thong aside and she jumped. “Easy, lass, I’m just looking at your tat.” “It’s a butterfly quartet,” she said. “Got it when I threw my ratbastard ex-husband out of the house. My own personal bit of freedom, I suppose you’d say.” He traced the delicate image then impulsively placed a kiss on it, darting his tongue out and over her skin. She smelled like sweet vanilla and spicy rum. Tasted even fucking better. The jeans rustled and moved. He leaned over and saw Kade had unbuttoned them and was shoving them down her forever-long legs. “God, I’ve died and gone to paradise,” Alec muttered. Her legs were un-fucking-believable. Tanned, lean, and cut, they spoke of womanly power and heavenly sin. Fi kicked the pants away, standing before them in only her matching red lingerie…and green ankle socks. Alec grinned. “Nice ensemble,” he murmured, fingers gripping the panties on either hip. “But it’s still too much.” He swept her panties away then popped her bra off in one lightning-quick twist of his fingers. She gasped and turned around, hands over her breasts. “You’ve had some practice,” she accused. He grinned as he tugged her wrists down so he could drink in her beauty. “Hell yeah, lass. You don’t want some inexperienced wankers trying to make you come all night, now, do you?” Fire flared. She shook her head. “Didn’t think so.” He finally looked down at her chest, and again the air left his lungs. “Faith, lass, you’re fair to perfect.” Her blush started between her buoyant, double-handful breasts and worked its way up to her cheeks. “You are. Damn, I can’t wait to taste you.” “Then don’t,” she said huskily. “Cross your arms over your head, Fi,” Alec ordered. “Let us learn your body, no interference from you.”

Kade moved next to him. “Shite, you weren’t having me on, Alec. She’s gorgeous.” He cupped one breast, lifting its weight away from her body. Totally natural. Alec grinned in response. He knew his partner loved the natural endowments of women, even better, he loved tying them up and watching as they squirmed beneath his ministrations. Does she play? I don’t think so, Alec responded. Give it a test. Kade continued to massage her firm flesh. He must have pressed just a bit harder because suddenly she arched and inhaled, but did not protest. Her face was rosy, eyes wide open and inviting. Alec fisted his hard cock, thoroughly enjoying their show. “You’ve a deep passion, Fi,” Kade murmured. “Yes,” she hissed, though whether in agreement or in response to the pull of her breasts, Alec could not ascertain. Just then, Kade gripped her nipple, pulling her breast high and taut. He released it, letting the supple flesh fall back with a resounding slap. “Oh,” she breathed, eyes widening further. “Ever played in the realm of bondage, Fiane?” “No, never,” came her quick response. Once more Kade picked up her breast, this time circling her nipple with thumb and forefinger, squeezing until the rosy peak turned dark red. She swayed forward and her breath hovered at the edge of squeak and pleading. Alec moved behind her, gripping her hips tightly and grinding his hot, hard cock along the cleft of her sweetly rounded ass. He’d been right, it looked even better naked than in those curve-hugging jeans she wore. Fi moaned.

He looked down over her shoulder. Her nipples, caught between Kade’s fingers, were an engorged, angry purple. He heard the litany of her pleas for release then more over and over as her breath escaped her half-parted mouth in hot little pants. “You really want me to let go?” Kade murmured. “Yes. No. God, I don’t know. I want, need to come.” Her words blathered out quickly. Kade nodded to Alec, who slipped his fingers around her hips and into her trimmed, black patch of pubic hair. Kade kept pace with Alec’s fingers, increasing the strength of his pinch the closer Alec got to her pussy. “She’s dripping wet, Kade,” Alec murmured, dipping into her juice. Fi shuddered beneath him. Alec pulled her pussy lips apart, using his knees to force her pelvis to tilt forward. He slid one finger along the silken slit, rubbing her cum into the folds and along the hood of her clit. “Fucking hell,” she moaned raggedly. As Alec rubbed her clit, Kade mimicked the motion on her nipples. Fi rose to her tiptoes, gasping and bucking. Her eyes glazed, the shimmering green dulling to a dark emerald. “Oh, please,” she muttered. “Please, yes, don’t let go. I’m going to, ah, damn!” She jerked and shuddered. 47. Kade slowly let go of her nipples, rubbing lightly as the blood returned. “Ow, ow, ooh,” she yelled. Her eyes opened and she stared at him in bewilderment. Kade looked at the pink stone—46. He grinned. This one is ripe for the pleasures of submission. I thought so, too, Alec replied. Too bad we don’t have enough time tonight. A pity.

“Can I take my arms down?” she asked. “Of course,” Alec said. He sat on the edge of the bed and patted it. “Here, come sit with me.” He looked at Kade and grinned. “I think you’ll like this next bit. Show her.” Kade smiled wolfishly back. Fi shivered at the feral look. He scared her somewhat. Power radiated from him in huge, rolling sheets. Not that Alec was much tamer. Both of them were experts at sex and pleasure, that much was obvious. She hoped she was up for this ordeal. Hell, she thought, four orgasms in twenty minutes? That’s damn good. Great, in fact, she realized. She only needed one more to make this hour’s quota. Kade moved in front of her as Alec’s hand slipped between her legs. “Spread your thighs, Fi,” he murmured. She did, watching the muscular sex god grip the waistband of his shorts and slowly start to pull them down. Alec’s finger slipped into her pussy as Kade’s flat, ripped abdomen appeared, followed by a brush of crisp, dark hair. Her fingers itched to sink into those curls. Alec leaned close, nipping at her shoulder, but he, too, watched Kade. “You are so fucking wet, Fi.” She clenched around his finger and arched her hips, silently begging for another. Fingerfuck me, Alec. Do it hard. His head tipped up and he caught her gaze. “How hard?” Fi gasped. “Damn it,” she muttered. But her lower body craved it, needed it. Even more so with the blood beating at her, filling her lower lips and making her entire pelvic region ache. A throb so demanding it knocked all sense from her, made her only conscious of need and desire. “Hard,” she gritted out. “Make me feel it.” She still watched Kade, who moved in slow, languid, purposefully teasing movements. His cock was hard, straining up from the cotton

of his briefs. The head peeked over the gray waistband, glinting at her. Alec pushed at her inner thighs, moving them further apart. She let him, captivated by Kade’s erection. He stepped closer, so close the whiff of his arousal shot straight to her pussy. “Ah.” Not a word, more of a strangled breath. All she could manage. Alec shoved more fingers into her dripping heat as Kade finally whipped off his briefs. Fi grabbed Alec’s forearm, riding his hand, eyes glued to Kade’s straining cock. It hadn’t been pre-cum glinting at her, it’d been a piercing. “Oh, my God,” she wailed as another orgasm hit her. She clamped her legs around Alec’s hand, pumping hard, panting with the exertion. Her entire body burned hot, then cold, then breathless. When the last wave passed, she released her legs. Alec pulled his fingers out, her sweet-scented juices coating them. “Taste?” he offered. She shook her head. Not that she minded, she enjoyed her own taste sometimes. Right now, she wanted a closer look at the barbell impaled in the head of Kade’s dick. “Come look your fill, lass,” Kade said. He spread his legs, muscular thighs bulging and rippling with the movement. “Here,” he pointed to the rug. “On your knees in front of me.” It didn’t take her more than a blink. Fi settled on the floor, palming the impressive width of his thighs. Huh, this was a familiar position, she thought. Both men laughed. How many times before she quit blushing? “Probably never,” Alec said, joining her on the floor. “Ever seen a piercing like that?” “No.”

“It’s called an apadravya. Different from a Prince Albert in its position. Vertical instead of horizontal.” Kade fisted his cock and traced the soft skin of her cheek with the head. The metal piercing was warm against her flesh and she shivered, wondering how just how hot it could get. “Gives pleasure to both parties.” He must have heard her indrawn breath, caught the flash of interest. His eyes darkened to a deep amber. “Go ahead, Fi, touch it. But be quick, lass, cause I’m aching to be balls deep in your sweet pussy.” She shuddered, thighs tightening as she reached for it. Beside her, Alec’s hands skimmed over her body, from her breasts to her back and down to her ass. He played there for quite some time while she examined Kade’s unusual jewelry. “Did it hurt?” “Like bloody hell.” Kade grinned. “Worth it, though.” She ran her finger over one golden ball, imagined the rigid barbell under his taut skin, and followed it down to the next ball. He sucked in a breath, and his dick spasmed hard, balls drawing up tight. “That’s enough,” he said, reaching down and yanking her to her feet. Fi floundered, catching herself by bracing her hands along his steel hard chest. Behind her, Alec rose and laughed. Both Fi and Kade looked at him questioningly. He gestured toward the blinking rose stone. “This ought to be easy as hell, Kade, she’s already down to forty-five.” Kade lightly pushed her down to the bed then looked at Alec. “Who has her first?” She looked from one to the other, her pussy aching and needy. Her mind hazed. She licked her lips and lifted a brow. She wanted them both.

“Let her choose,” Alec said with a smile. “Though, I will say you are a sexy, intriguing bit of goods, Fiane. I think I’m going to enjoy fucking you all night long.” He winked. “Curse or no curse.” She caught the stern, almost harsh look Kade gave to Alec and wondered at it. But then he nipped the inside of her thigh. “Fi?” Kade asked. She looked up at them, wide-eyed and wanting. She half-sprawled wantonly on the bed, long legs dangling over the edge and breasts near to heaving. “Don’t I get you both?” Alec laughed. “Eventually, yes, if you want that.” “I do,” she said fervently. She adjusted on the bed, slipping her hand between her legs. “It feels so strange to be here, naked and hot, with two incredibly sexy men and not give a damn about modesty. All I know is one of you needs to come here and fuck me.” She stilled then smiled seductively. “God that sounds so hot. Fuck me.” Her gaze flitted between the men. She was totally intrigued by Kade’s piercing, but Alec...Well, Alec did approach her first. Seems only fair he got first fuck. Again her body vibrated with the naughty thought. She checked the stone, pleased to see these mini-shudders seemed to count as orgasms, even if they were not full-blown ones. 42. “Alec,” she murmured, holding out one hand. He grinned at Kade, took her hand, and tugged her upward. “Turn around, bend over.” She complied, bracing her hands on the softness of the mattress. Alec’s underwear made a soft plop on the floor and then he was behind her, his cock once more brushing along her ass. She tensed. Yes, she wanted to fuck both of them, but it’d been years since she’d attempted anything anal. Even with her toys. Even in the midst of the hardest cravings this stupid curse inflicted on her, she’d not been able to breach that barrier herself. And both of them had huge members. Could she take either of them in her ass?

Alec’s cock jerked against her butt. “Christ, woman,” he hissed, hands on her hips. “Keep thinking things like that and I’ll come all over your back before I even get into your tight pussy.” Fi shuddered again. 40. His hand slipped between her legs, rubbing her slit, spreading her juices all over and around her pussy. “Lift your hips,” he said hoarsely. She did, and the head of his cock brushed her dripping lips. He rubbed up and down, sending tiny zips of heat through her body. Bit by bit, her desire shot upward, nearing the point she would no longer be able to control herself. But that was the point, right? “Hurry,” she gritted out. He gripped her hips, fingers digging into her skin. “All right, Fi, as you wish.” Alec slammed into her, rocking her forward. Fi groaned into the amber comforter, toes curling and senses screaming. She came as soon as the head of his cock spread her pussy. He pulled back and slammed home again. Fi continued to gasp and writhe beneath him. Grabbing fistfuls of the comforter, she jerked her hips back and forth, fucking herself on his long, thick dick. It was the most incredible thing she’d ever felt. More orgasms rolled over her. The stone ticked off the numbers in time with his thrusts – 39, 38, 37. Fi closed her eyes and enjoyed the near-painful stretch of his cock spearing her pussy. She continued to come in time with his motions. Then he slowed down and she groaned in protest. “No, no, fast. Hard. Fuck me hard, Alec,” she whimpered. Kade’s voice slid in her ear as he straddled the bed in front of her. “Slow can be just as hot as slamming you, Fi,” he said. “Open your mouth, darlin’, and suck my cock.”

Alec continued his long, slow torture spearing into her pussy, and she opened her mouth wide. The barbells clinked on her teeth before scraping over the roof of her mouth and top of her tongue. Her eyes widened and she looked up at Kade. It didn’t hurt, just felt…odd. “Gently, darlin’, it’s just to keep you occupied. I’m not going to come in your mouth.” “Oooh.” She gurgled around his erection. That would be heavenly. Would his taste be as strong as he was, or mellow and sweet? Her pussy convulsed. “Next time,” he promised, then moved his hips up and down slowly, one hand on her head, guiding her. Alec’s fingers dug harder into her hips, and he groaned and bucked, picking up speed. Fi closed her eyes, feeling yet another orgasm roll over her. Alec grunted loudly and slammed into her, spurting his cum deep inside. As soon as the warmth started to flood her, Fi came. Again and again. One long, continuous climax that stole her breath and her senses. Kade pulled her mouth off his cock and stroked it himself. She watched with heavy-lidded appreciation, still riding the wave of pleasure. At last, Alec pulled out and flopped onto the bed next to her. Kade scooted backward, cupped her beneath her arms, and hauled her up with them. They collapsed in a trio of tangled legs, sweat, and heavy breathing. Fi looked at the stone. She only needed to have twenty-eight more orgasms in the six hours that remained. Twenty-eight orgasms and six hours remained. She grinned. This was gonna be a piece of cake.

Chapter 5 “Anyone hungry?” Fi asked fifteen minutes later. Still snuggled between the two men, she arched her back sinuously, stretching out the delicious sex kinks still zinging through her. For once, her body seemed sated and at rest. A giddy high enveloped her. This was it. They were going to break the curse and she would be normal again. Alec’s hand slid along her hip, over her side, and to one breast, cupping it. His fingers were warm and strong. She liked the way it felt. Like she could just let go and let him do whatever he wanted. Kade’s hand followed the same path on her other side, and she twisted into his touch, too. “I’m hungry for you, now, Fi,” Kade said. He vaulted off the bed, sending her flat to her back with the momentum. He grinned and his big hands wrapped around her ankles, tugging her to the edge of the bed. Alec rolled out of the way onto his side, but remained in arm’s reach. Fi undulated her hips, her own hands slipping along her ribcage, up to cup her breasts. Through heavy-lidded eyes, she watched Kade step between her outstretched legs. Her ass hung precariously on the edge of the bed, giving her a feeling of almost falling, almost in danger. The sensation was oddly invigorating. These two delicious men were teaching her all sorts of new things. Her gaze dropped to Kade’s hard cock, fastening on the apadravya. “Is it going to hurt?” she asked huskily. Part of her didn’t care. A smaller, more wanton part of her almost hoped it did.

Mostly, she just wanted him to do what he said earlier and sink balls deep into her pussy. She gasped and arched as the image branded itself along her brain at the same time he flicked her clit. “No,” Kade said, fitting the head of his cock to her still wet opening. “It’s going to feel amazing.” Her hands fell away, grabbing for the comforter. She took a deep breath, nodded, and arched her hips, inviting him in. “How do you want it, Fi?” he asked. Alec moved closer, his long, talented fingers replacing hers on her breasts. She shivered, touching glances with him for a brief moment before Kade pulled back and slapped the head of his cock down on her clit. Fi squeaked, feeling the light slap in every pore. His action seemed to have reactivated the sexual burn she lived with every month. Funny how it seemed to have dissipated while they’d been going at it. “Hard,” she gritted out, fighting herself and the curse. It always took so much of her mind, sent her whirling into an abyss of confusion and agony. She’d been happily shocked that tonight had not followed the normal pattern. If fucking these delicious men continuously kept that haze at bay, she was willing to do her part. “Fuck me hard.” Kade leaned down and kissed her, his cockhead slipping just into her slit, spreading her open. The barbells touched her skin between pussy and clit. Slightly chilled, pinpricks of erotic awareness sizzled at her opening. She could feel her pussy trying to suck him in further. “No, darlin’, this time, it’s slow.” Kade pulled out, slid back in. “Easy.” Again the teasing, unfulfilling movement. “And maddening.” “No, damn you,” she gasped, reaching up for his shoulders. Kade reared back, slamming his hands down on her inner thighs and spreading her hard in place. “I’m in charge, now, lass,” he said huskily. “Your only job is to come and come hard.”

Already the burn built to near-fever pitch. Her skin itched and her nipples were drawn tight. A trickle of cum slid from her pussy down the crack of her ass. “Then why ask?” she demanded, trying to lift her hips and drive more of him inside her. “Because he can,” Alec said. “Let me help.” He latched onto a turgid nipple, teeth scraping and biting with erotic pressure. Fi groaned again, fingers diving into his hair, but her eyes remained locked with Kade’s demanding amber gaze. “Concentrate, Fi. Feel my cock.” He leaned forward, slow, steady pressure that once again stopped as the barbells hit her slit. She wanted to scream. This time, though, he continued. “Feel it, Fi. Every bit as I spread your pussy, sink the head of my cock inside. Ah,” he groaned. “There goes the piercing.” The slight pop and rub hit her hard, and she gasped, coming immediately. Kade chuckled and held himself still. A flurry of cum and suction seized her pussy and made her thrash on the bed, pinned to it by his stiff dick. “God, you are so damn tight.” He gripped the base of his shaft, pulling back and forth in short, rapid moments. Fi responded to each one with a matching gasp. “You’re going to kill me, both of you. It’s too much,” she whimpered. “Fi,” Kade snapped, holding still until she looked at him again. “Concentrate on your cunt.” He used the harsh word on purpose. Sure enough, she clenched around him. The lady enjoyed the dirtier side of sex. “Just feel.” Once more he dove into her wetness, digging deep and holding when their pubic bones meshed. He swiveled his hips, pushing deeper inside of her, seeking her G-spot. “Ooh, hell!” she keened. Found it.

Alec scrambled upright and straddled her chest, pushing her bountiful breasts together. She moaned and clutched at his thighs. “Too heavy?” he asked. “No,” came her breathless gasp. “My God, that’s incredible.” He knew Alec would be sliding his cock between her luscious tits. His old friend favored that position, said a woman’s mouth gasping for both dick and pleasure as he plowed between her tits was a lustful high he could never resist. Kade rose on tiptoe, sinking deeper into her body and grinned at her responding groan. The constant squeeze and release of her pussy told him she was nearing sensory overload. Again. He would bet that his jeweled cock inside of her touched erogenous places she’d never experienced before. Add to that Alec’s silken slide along the nerves of her breasts and she was almost certainly lost. Her pussy clamped and contracted as Kade pulled back, thrust forward, pulled back again. Fi’s hips lifted with each movement. Her fingers dug into the comforter then reached for Alec’s legs. She was going to come again. Kade clamped harder around her inner thighs, forcing her even further. He knew they had little time to indulge in his bondage fetishes, but he just couldn’t resist testing her. Pushing her limits. She pushed back against him, her fingers clawing at him, but her hips arched into his hold. Her mind whirled with thoughts of lustful pleasure that she could not seem to escape him. He grinned and began to pound her hard and fast. Flesh on flesh, wet slaps to her pussy and clit. Alec’s ass tightened in front of him as he scooted further up on her body. “Suck me, Fi,” Alec ordered. Kade closed his eyes, lost in the sultry heat of her cunt, the vision of Alec slipping the head of his cock inside her mouth and his ball sac

sliding along the seam of her breasts. The ripple of lust and fury that engulfed her and spread to his own dick. Fuck me, Kade, fuck me. God, I love how hard and hot your cock is inside of me. Her words, spoken directly to him, made him swell and surge even larger in her pussy. Kade lifted her butt, tilting her even more to receive his pounding thrusts. She wailed around Alec’s hard-on. “Take it, Fi, take me all,” Alec yelled as he came. Kade gritted his teeth and stilled, buried balls deep in her sweet heat. He watched as Alec slowly pumped his shaft, gasping and groaning with each movement. “Swallow my cum, Fi, every drop.” Then he toppled off her and to the side. Kade grinned at Fi’s expression of dazed relish. “You’re a little sexual heathen, aren’t you, darlin’?” She nodded, wiped a hand over her mouth, and wiggled her hips. “You haven’t come yet, Kincade.” He eased to the top of her sopping hole then slid all the way back in, another long draw out and slam. She jerked, eyes going wide, breath escaping in a sharp, high gasp. Her hands flailed on the bed, reaching up to him. Kade repeated the slow, slow, slow thrust until she was whimpering and thrashing so hard she almost unseated him. “Do you want to come, Fi?” “Yes,” she said in a near sob. Kade looked down, drank in her beauty. That glorious mane of black hair was tangled and tousled as though she’d been in a hurricane. Her body bore red marks and splatters of dried cum. He sucked in a deep breath, filling his body with their mixed essences. His cock spasmed, and she thrust against him. He wanted to deny her, wanted to taunt her with orgasm denial until he taught her how to beg prettily for it, but knew neither of them was in any position to hold back.

Next time, he promised himself then released her inner thighs, cupped her ass, and sank into her grasping pussy. She groaned as he began a slow, steady rhythm. “Yes,” she hissed. “That’s it. God, so close.” Kade picked up the pace, feeling his own orgasm rising. He wanted to blast her pussy walls with his cum, drench her insides until it ran down her legs. “Ah, fuck,” he bellowed as the image seared his brain. He slammed back into her, his piercing grazing her furthermost walls. She stiffened, reached for his forearms, and ground her hips along his pelvis. That sent him over the edge and he flooded her with cum. Instantly, her pussy clamped down on him as she, too, reached orgasm. She tossed and twisted on his dick, and only the strength of his grip on her arse kept her on it. Her heated pussy nearly burned his now-sensitive cock, but he didn’t want the feeling to end. He held her until the tremors abated then slowly pulled out of her body and crashed to the bed beside her. Alec stretched out next to her, his hand possessively gripping Fi’s hip. Kade checked the Goddess stone with heavy, gritty eyes. 20. 4:10. Damn. No time to sleep. Kade curled around her delicious ass, one hand draped over her tummy as his eyes drifted shut.

Chapter 6 “Fi, wake up,” Kade barked. She groaned and wiggled, sprawled flat out on the bed. Her body ached and tugged in the most delicious places. She didn’t want to move, just lie here and bask in her sated body. “Fi, we’re running out of time. Come on. That satiation won’t last if we don’t finish.” “Spoilsport,” she mumbled and jerked a pillow over her head. He swatted her on the ass, leaving a hot imprint against her skin. Fi jerked upright, rolling over with a protesting squeak. “Damn it,” she grumbled, pushing a swathe of dark hair out of her eyes. “What was that for?” He nodded to the bedside table. “We slept for an hour. You still have twenty orgasms to go and only three hours.” She sighed then stretched, arching her back and offering up, however unintentionally, her full tits. Kade knelt on the bed between her legs, slid an arm behind her back, and latched onto a nipple, sucking it deep in his mouth. “Mmm,” she murmured. Now this was more like it. Fi’s fingers delved into his hair, raking his scalp lightly. He looked up, never letting go of her nipple, and winked. The bed shifted next to her, and Alec appeared with a grin. “Hey, what’s a threesome without a third?” Fi chuckled, cupped her other breast, and offered it to him, groaning in appreciation as the two men nipped, sucked, and tongued her tits. God, she’d never known how damn sensitive she was up top.

Even during other months of her torment, she’d not felt so attuned to her breasts. Hell, to her whole body. She spread her legs, wincing at the light pull. Uh-oh, that could be bad. “Quit worrying.” Alec bit down on her nipple, and she clutched his shoulder, fingers digging in as a wave of pleasure washed over her. Not quite an orgasm, but she was getting close. Already, her pussy alternately throbbed and protested, but with both men servicing her, she wasn’t quite sure she cared. Alec released her nipple with a pop and ran a finger around the areola before diving down to her trimmed pubic hair. “You worried about coming twenty more times, Fi?” Kade also sat back, one brow raised as if awaiting her answer. She shrugged. “Well, you have to admit, chafing can occur.” She squinted at the delicious tableau of hot masculinity, dipping her gaze down and between their legs. She twitched internally. Chafing or no, her body was still restless and wanted more. “Did either of you have some sort of special wizard’s oil or something to prevent it?” “Nope,” Alec said. He gripped her hips and squeezed. “We can’t do magic on you, remember? Come on, roll over. Hands and knees.” She complied, looking back over her shoulder at them. “What about the lube?” Kade flashed a smile. “That’s just the regular old stuff.” “Huh, okay.” She really wasn’t paying that much attention to their discussion at the moment. She was enraptured by the rapidly swelling, elongated erections they both sported. Fi wiggled her hips at them, flattening her torso to the bed and spreading her legs a bit further. “You guys gonna come and take this again?” She continued to watch them, saw the intensity darken each man’s face. She wanted them to overload every sense, fill every pore she had. They moved closer to her, each kneeling side by side behind her. Kade elbowed Alec and he grudgingly slid over.

Kade stroked the dip in her back, tickling the tip of her ass crack. “I think we can make quick work of the last twenty, Fi.” The pound, pound, pound started in her pussy once more and she bit her lip. She wanted to fuck and be fucked. Right now. But not in her ass. She lifted her head and glared at the taunting pink glow of the Goddess stone. They could do this, damn it. Twenty wasn’t so many. Hell, she’d already had thirty freakin’ orgasms. What was another twenty, especially when it meant her pussy would be filled with their pulsing, hot cocks again? Just thinking of their talented dicks driving into her body caused waves of heat to roll over her. Her cunt swelled and throbbed as the orgasm hit. 19. “What the hell?” Kade muttered. “Fi, lass, you have one hell of an imagination,” Alec said, his hands on her ass. “I love how easily you come.” “Me, too,” she said. Alec spread her pussy lips from behind, fingers sliding in the juice she already exuded. He tightened his grip, and she jumped, groaning, feeling just a pinch of discomfort. She tried to lift her head and look behind her to see what he was doing, but Kade’s angular face filled her vision. He took her mouth even as his hands found her tits, fondling and teasing them. Just then, the long, flat wetness of Alec’s tongue delved into her wet hole and she immediately tensed. She tried to pull away from Kade’s kiss, but he wouldn’t allow it. “Relax, darlin’,” he whispered against her mouth. “Let him pleasure you.” He lifted his mouth and gave her a soft smile. “Oh, I don’t know,” she muttered. “Don’t tell me no man’s ever feasted on your sweet pussy,” Kade said incredulously.

Fi squirmed, both from Alec’s tongue and her own whirlwind of confusing emotions. Oral sex on her was something she’d never really enjoyed. But, then, she’d never had anyone like Alec Donovan going down on her, either. Alec’s tongue was soft and hot, an electric slide of pure passion that left no part of her pussy untouched. She relaxed, sinking back into the comforter, back into Kade’s soft kisses. Then Alec’s tongue stiffened and shot into her as far he could go. She squealed and clutched at the comforter. “Ohmigod, ohmigod, holy crap,” she chanted. Kade chuckled and withdrew, caressing her head. A different kind of warmth suffused her, one that propelled her heart into an overdrive rhythm. Alec’s tongue softened then licked front to back and front again, circling her clit before lashing at it tightly with the tip of his tongue. “Hell, hell, hell, damn, that’s good.” Fi thrust her hips back, squeezed her eyes shut, and wailed as the orgasm hit. Once again, Kade was at her side, stroking her back and quivering flank. Alec’s hands molded her ass. “Unbelievable,” Fi said as her body wound down. “I’ve never, ever come from having my pussy licked.” She peeked at Alec and found him grinning like he’d won first prize at the county fair. He lightly smacked her ass. He rose higher, showing her his stiff, hard dick. Her pussy clenched immediately. “You taste delicious, Fi, but I’m ready to fuck you again. Do you want it?” She groaned, pussy spasming in pain, battered by the vicious taunt of the curse. Through the burn and aching, her body begged again for release. One more, one more. The words seeped in and out of her mind, slithering along each nerve ending, pooling between her legs. She seethed with another wave of unnatural passion. She shoved dark hair from her heavy-lidded eyes. “Hell yes. I want you both to fuck me. Fuck me hard.” Her gaze swung back to

Kade, and they shared another smile. “I’m being very wanton, aren’t I?” It was a damn good feeling. “You are the very best wanton I’ve ever had.” Kade kissed her, then pushed to his knees and settled behind her, next to Alec. “I’ll go first this time, shall I?” She nodded eagerly, lifted her hips, and dropped her head back to the comforter. Ready. Willing. Needy. Then Kade pressed the head of his cock to her moist slit, opened her up with his fingers, and slowly slid home. They both gasped. Her muscles clenched and contracted hotly around him. She felt like a blazing oven inside. A thousand-degree silken sheath of pure wetness. He started a slow, easy rhythm, enjoying the ripple and tug of her pussy muscles. Somehow, it seemed, the slower pace was more sensual. But still, it wasn’t making her come. He sensed a hesitancy in her, felt the growing discomfort she was trying to hide. He wished he could make it better for her, but they were running out of time. “You want it hard, Fi?” he asked gruffly. “God, yes,” she moaned. “Hard, fast, deep.” “You got it.” Kade increased the motion of his hips until he was thrusting fast and far inside of her. His balls slapped at her wet lips. “Uh, uh, uh,” she gasped in time with his movements. Suddenly, she stiffened and emitted a sharp, keening gasp. Kade slammed all the way inside and held himself still, absorbing the orgasm. Damn, she’s tight when she clamps around my cock. Her muscles relaxed and he pulled out. Alec replaced him immediately. He must have been turned on watching his best friend fuck her because he didn’t stop at all, just went balls deep as fast and hard as he could.

She jerked beneath him. He dug into her outer thighs, pulling her back on him, shuttling her back and forth like a piston. Again and again he pounded her. “God, I love it,” she moaned, head bouncing on the bed from the force of his fucking. Alec pulled out and Kade slid back in. “Oh, fuck!” she yelled, coming again. The two men alternated pounding and switching inside of her, keeping her off balance and coming. More sexual heat than she’d ever experienced blasted through her, messing with both her mind and her body. Knees quivering and pussy rapidly starting to ache from their assault, Fi lowered her head to her crossed arms, lifting her ass even higher. Kade groaned when she shifted in position, clutched her hips, and slammed down hard. Her pussy clamped around him, squeezing his cock. Kade pulled out and pumped his shaft in his fist. He bellowed as he came, covering her back. Her hips dipped and swayed, her gasps loud and clear. “Move, Kade,” Alec said. “I’m still hard.” “Oh, no, not yet,” Fi murmured. She shot an apologetic look over her shoulder and collapsed onto the bed, wincing at the pull on her lower region. “It hurts right now, Alec. Please wait.” He sighed. “We’re running out of time, Fi. Still have ten orgasms to go, and now we’re under two hours.” She groaned and tucked her legs together, shaking her head. Her entire body throbbed, actually. Like she’d run a damn triathlon without ever stopping. “I just don’t think I can come anymore. And hell, aren’t you two tired?” Alec shared a glance with Kade who nodded and tossed him a towel from the bathroom.

Alec gently wiped down Fi’s back, taking the time to stroke and caress her as he hadn’t yet tonight. She sighed and peeked up at him. “That feels really good,” she murmured. “You’ve got gentle but strong hands.” He looked down at them. His hands were big, especially compared to her small frame. He spread his fingers out and grinned when they covered up her entire ass. Slowly, he moved upward, tracing the dip in her back and up along her spine. She purred and rolled with the movement, her breathing evening out. “Mm, nice.” She yawned, eyes—well eye, he could see only one—scrunched adorably. He laughed. “What?” she said and rolled to her side, propping her head on her hand. Alec’s voice caught, whatever he’d been about to say totally lost. Fi effortlessly portrayed sex and sensuality. A come-hither aura emanated from her that bespoke both passion and tenderness. He alternately wanted to gather her up in the shelter of his arms and spread her legs while he pounded the hell out of her. The urge jolted him. It’d never happened with a job before. He frowned and slid off the bed, heading for Kade. “Where are you going?” she called out. He tossed her a forced grin and wink over his shoulder. “Strategy confab,” he said. “Back in one sec. Just relax and try to recuperate a few minutes before we begin again, okay?” Obviously puzzled, she studied him for a bit longer then nodded. “All right.” She flopped on the bed, grabbed a pillow, and hugged it to her chest. Alec joined Kade in the bathroom where the other man was busy cleaning up. “We’re gonna lose this if we don’t hurry,” he said. Alec turned on the tap, grabbed a clean cloth, and swabbed his own dick. “She’s getting sore, too. I’m not sure we’re going to make it.” Kade frowned. “What did it say, two hours?”

“Yeah, and by now, it’s probably more like an hour and forty-five minutes.” “Damn,” Kade muttered. “Too late to start anal.” Alec hesitated, thinking of the logistics involved. Anal sex, especially with someone not used to it, was a delicate, timeconsuming process. And he wasn’t sure if she would come just with a dick in her ass. Normally, one of them would also service her pussy, but with her soreness, that might not be such a good option either. “Fuck,” Alec said succinctly. “Yeah. What now?” “Well, I guess the only thing we can do. If we can get her off at least a few more times watching us, let her rest for the next hour, we can use the rest of the time fucking her to the remainder of her orgasms.” Kade looked skeptical, sighed, and raked a hand through his hair. “All right, sounds like a plan.” They rejoined Fi in the bedroom. She’d drifted off to sleep again, not even waking when their weight dipped and shifted her as they climbed on the bed. Alec kissed her, laving her lips with his tongue. She sighed into his mouth, cupped the back of his neck, and opened wider, inviting him in. He deepened the kiss, exploring her mouth, inhaling her essence, her taste. His cock throbbed and rose. Kade cleared his throat. Chagrined, Alec broke free, smiling down as her eyelids fluttered open. “Wake up, sweet Fi,” he said. “We have a plan.” She rose up on her elbows, smiling at them. “Okay, I’m game.” She bit her lip. “Well, mostly. I am a bit sore, still.” “We’re gonna let you rest a little bit.” Alarm chased across her features and she stared at the Goddess stone. “Uh, guys, we only have a little under two hours left.”

“We know. Just watch,” Kade said, and caressed Alec’s back with his huge, strong palm. Fi’s breath stilled when his fingers slipped to the rounded cheeks of Alec’s ass. She caught Kade’s amber gaze and nodded. Smack! Alec jerked, his teeth sinking deeper into her flesh. They both yelped and Alec sat back, releasing her breast. “What the hell was that for?” he grunted. So far, Kade had exuded his usual enigmatic power and command. Now, though, mischief was etched all over his face. “It was turning her on.” Alec looked at Fi. “Is that true?” “Hell yes.” He turned to face Kade fully, while still snagging her gaze. “So,” he said, one hand reaching out, fingers trailing along Kade’s pecs. “How many times do you think you’ll come if I lean down and suck on this magnificent cock?” From the look on her face, it might just be enough. She cupped herself and winced. “Sore?” he asked. “A little hot. Okay, a lot hot and maybe a teeny bit raw.” Her smile was rueful. “You guys definitely fucked the hell out of me.” Her eyes dropped to his hand then Kade’s steel-hard cock. She licked her lips. “I don’t know. More than one?” Alec’s long, elegant fingers continued down his friend’s chest until he hovered at the deep indentation of his lower abs. “Come closer, little Fi.” She scooted up, one hand braced on his outstretched, muscular thigh. Just the brush of her hand along his thigh titillated him, exciting him even more. She rubbed him softly then slipped her hand between his legs. He groaned when she encircled him. He sported one hell of an erection, he was so eager to take Kade’s cock in his mouth.

Arousal perfumed the air, mixing with the sweet scent of the many orgasms she’d already had. “Hell, if I knew how easy this was going to be, I would have done it months ago,” she said. “Don’t get overconfident until we hit fifty, Fi,” Alec cautioned. Kade’s hand settled into his hair, pushing down. “Enough talk,” the big man growled. “I want your mouth. Now.” Alec gripped Kade’s base, sliding up and down. He tongued the top ball of the piercing, rapidly eliciting a moan. Alec opened his mouth wide and, snaring her in a hooded gaze, took the head into his mouth, raking his teeth over it before engulfing it fully. All three of them groaned. Kade flexed his hand in Alec’s hair. “My God, that’s so fucking hot,” she breathed. Alec watched her watch him suck Kade’s cock. She ran her middle finger down the center of her pussy, gathered up the slickness, then returned to her clit. The pressure must not have been great enough to make her come, but it definitely had her on the edge. They needed her to go over. Alec shifted his weight, kneeling more into Kade’s crotch, pushing his mouth further on the hard cock. Slowly he drew back, leaving the flesh throbbing and slick with saliva. His eyes drifted closed and his nostrils flared before he pushed back down. Kade’s fingers tightened in his hair, pulling back and forth, trying to fuck his mouth, but Alec stubbornly fought the rhythm. He met Kade’s eyes, flashed his defiance, and looked back down at his friend’s rippled stomach. He knew he would pay for that later. He was counting on it. “What does it feel like?” Fi asked, voice tight and harsh. “His mouth is as hot as your cunt,” Kade said. “Not as tight, though his ass is.” She gasped. “His ass?”

Alec wished he could see the expression on her face, but his mouth was full of Kade’s throbbing cock and he had to work now to keep up with the fast pace. “Oh yeah, little Fi, I’ve fucked his ass.” Another moan from her. “I’ve fucked it as hard as I’m fucking his mouth right now. Ah,” Kade groaned and both hands slid to his head. Alec squeezed the base harder, knowing his friend liked a little pain as much as he liked to give it. The shaft throbbed and swelled in his throat. The big man was close to coming. Alec slid a sideways glace at Fi. Her expression was fierce, determined. Each breath she took swept back out in a near moan. He could smell her encroaching orgasm. He wanted to make them both come at the same time. He sucked harder, pulling the head all the way back to his throat, milking Kade with the force of those muscles. The cords on Kade’s neck stood out, he threw his head back and howled, both hands slamming Alec’s face deeper into his pubic hair. “I’m coming, damn you,” he growled. “Take it all, Alec. Every drop.” Alec obeyed, swallowing every spurt from Kade’s cock. The salttinged liquid was a familiar taste. He pulled back to just the head and scooped his tongue in and around the piercing and hole, making certain he did not miss a drop. “Ohmigod, ohmigod, ohmigod.” Fi’s exhalation was high and tight, tinged with discomfort. He turned and saw she rubbed furiously at her abused clit, wincing with every pass. “Fi,” he said, holding out his hand. She shook her head wildly then slammed her eyes shut and arched her back. He was slammed by the vision of himself on his knees in front of Kade, sucking his cock as his friend taunted her. Then, when the sides

of Alec’s throat bulged with Kade’s swollen width, Fi cried out, coming hard. It went on forever, as long as it took the ebony-haired man to pump his seed down Alec’s throat. The vision faded and Alec barely caught his breath. He shared a wide-eyed look with Kade who also seem shaken by the shared imagery. “Holy shit,” Fi muttered, hand falling away. “That was unbelievably erotic.” She swallowed hard then licked her lips. Alec stood, leaned over, and kissed her, sharing the slightly sweet aftertaste of Kade’s come. Another ripple blasted over her. She clutched Alec’s shoulders, urging him down. “Your turn,” she whispered, shoving him to the bed. He grinned and stroked her hair. “How many times did you come?” Fi glanced at the clock and frowned. “One,” she whispered harshly, sitting up and back on her heels. She pounded her thighs with her fists. “This is so not fair. It was a really big one.” Kade settled next to them, rubbing her back. “Only nine to go, Fi.” Alec bit back a curse aimed at the Goddess. She’s not going to make it. Alec looked at the clock. She has to. She’s at the brink. Just a few more. Kade’s hand fisted. “All right, let’s concentrate on something else for a bit. Fi, lie back.” His order was harsh and curt. She obeyed immediately, spreading her legs, hips lifting and writhing. Alec slid between her outstretched thighs, cupping her ass and tilting her upward. Kade settled at her head, leaning over to caress and cup her breasts. She moaned and sighed. “Feels good,” she murmured then bit her lip. Alec lowered his mouth and softly laved her torrid pussy. She jerked against his mouth.

“That does, too,” she panted. “I believe I like that, now.” Kade smiled down at her, still kneading her tits. “What else feels good, little Fi?” “Mmm, God, Alec, your tongue—” Her eyes were squeezed shut, a deep rose flush covered her upper body and cheeks. “Kade?” she whispered. “Yes?” “Pinch my nipples. Tight and hard.” Kade’s brow lifted and he hesitated, but only for a moment. Alec knew his friend wanted to play with her like this from the moment he met her. And if it garnered another orgasm, so much the better. Alec redoubled his efforts, trying to both soothe and tantalize her poor, abused pussy into an orgasm. Alec felt her thighs quiver beneath his hands and looked up, catching Kade’s movements. He squeezed her tits, smoothing his fingertips along her delicious globes until he reached the stiff points of her nipples. Slowly, he gripped each nipple and pulled upward, nearly lifting her torso from the bed. Fi groaned and gasped. Alec grunted in approval, hoping they could get those last nine orgasms without having to penetrate her again. As delicious as her cunt was, it was also hot like she burned with fever. He supposed in a way she did. The unnatural fever of her sexual curse. Lightly, he suckled on her clit. She hitched and moaned, unintelligible grumblings falling from her lips. He dropped to her honey hole and slid his tongue inside, just rimming the opening. Another groan, another twitch. Ask how close she is. “Are you gonna come, Fi?” Kade asked. “Yes,” she panted, clutching handfuls of the comforter and thrusting her hips into Alec’s mouth. “Don’t stop, either of you, please.”

Alec nuzzled her pussy once more. She smelled as sweet as she tasted, like the first burst of honeysuckle on the morning air. “More,” she grunted. “Harder, Alec, make me come. Put your finger in me while you lick my pussy. Kade, harder. Please, pinch them harder.” Alec spread her nether lips wider, stroking his tongue in and out, making it as stiff as he could. She shuddered and shot upward. Kade’s hands dropped from her tits, the flesh slapping back against her chest. Alec lifted his head and glanced at the clock. Eight flashed—so tantalizingly close. “More,” she begged. Kade leaned close to her. “What else is going to make you come, Fi?” He slipped his hand over her writhing stomach, ruffled Alec’s hair, then cupped her hip and ass. “Want me to fill your ass, Fi?” She gasped, eyes flying open. “Want to feel my cock spreading you open? Hot and hard and throbbing against that tight little hole?” “Fuck,” she yelled, slamming her hands into Alec’s hair, holding him tight as another orgasm crashed through her. He tongued her furiously, slapping at her clit with the stiff point of his tongue. He licked his finger and plunged it deep into her cunt. She howled. Seven. Six. Kade knelt beside him. “Keep licking her,” he said as he wiggled his fingers against her buttocks, reaching upward for a bit of her juice as it dripped down her lithe body. He pressed his lubed index finger to her tight hole, continuing to whisper how hot she was, how her body grabbed and held him. “God, I want to sink balls deep into your sweet ass, Fi. Will you give it to me?” Her body rose and fell with each murmur, nearly bucking Alec from between her legs.

He pulled back and looked at her face, fascinated by the savage emotions tearing across her face. Lust tinted with a dark desire. As if she were reaching for and attaining every fantasy she’d ever held. Five. Four. He realized that Kade’s words, coupled with his the slight pulse of his finger in her ass, were rapidly whittling the counter down. Yes! Keep going, Kade. I think she’s ripe for a bit of play. Too bad we don’t have time. Alec cut him a sharp glare. Not all women want that, you know. She does. She just doesn’t know it. Yet. Bullshit. Kade’s brow rose. Spread her legs wide. Almost to the point of pain. Then shove your fingers in her pussy. If she doesn’t scream like a banshee and come instantly, you’re right. If she does… Alec hesitated. Fine, he snapped. He gripped her quivering inner thighs and forced them apart. Her head rose from the bed, eyes glazed but pinned on him. Her jaw was clenched, lips pursed tightly. He inched them further apart. Her mouth dropped open, nostrils flaring on a sharp inhale. Her hands fluttered up, but she didn’t protest. “Don’t move,” he ordered, voice intentionally sharp. He licked two fingers, set them against the still-wet softness of her pussy, and shoved. She gasped, jerked, then let out a long, low moan that grew in tone and crescendo. “Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuuuuuuuck!” Three. Alec locked eyes with Kade. “How deep in her ass are you?” “Enough to get the last three if you help.” Alec leaned down, found her hooded clit, then began stroking it with his thumb while thrusting in and out of her pussy with his fingers. Kade’s wrist moved in tandem, in on his out strokes.

“Alec,” she whispered, moving her hips up and down in time with his finger thrusts. “Kade?” “Yes, Fi?” “I’m gonna come,” she said. Considering how many damn times she’d already come, the declaration should have sounded inane, but instead felt monumental. “Thank you,” she breathed even as the wave burst again. Two. One. Alec smiled down at her as she clenched and held his hand inside her body. He stopped rubbing her clit then pulled free when she finally relaxed. Kade also pulled away, moving off the bed and stretching his legs and heading for the bathroom. When he returned, he stood next to Alec, looking down at the sprawled, sated, raven-haired beauty. His cock rose and the urge to sink it into her was nearly uncontrollable. Alec gripped his arm. “She can’t take any more penetration.” Fi grimaced, legs closing as she slowly sat up. “He’s right. If anything else gets put inside of me, I might just freaking collapse.” She raked a hand through her hair, eyes locked on the clock. Fifteen minutes for one more orgasm. Her entire body ached. Deliciously, but still an ache. “You just sit there and watch us, Fi,” Kade ordered. She blinked owlishly at him. “Watch you do what?” He winked, reached down, and fisted his erection. Within seconds, Alec followed suit. Her breath caught and she scooted closer to the edge of the bed then slipped to her knees in front of them. She cupped her breasts, squeezing in time with their strokes. “Think this’ll do it, Fi?” Alec murmured. “Watching us again?” “Yes,” she whispered then bit her lip, clearly hesitant to say or even think what else would make her come. “Out with it,” Kade demanded.

Her gaze was rapt on his long, elegant fingers sliding along his cock, pulling the skin near his piercing taut, almost painful. “Tell us, Fi. What else will make you go over the edge?” She licked her lips, lifted her tits to them, and leaned slightly backward. “Come all over me. Splash me with your hot cum.” The words tumbled out, each one ratcheting her closer to that last orgasm. The men nodded, speeding up their strokes in unison. Within moments, each was breathing heavily, eyelids dropped. “Ah,” Alec groaned, hand blurring in motion. “Yes,” Kade echoed. “Here it comes, Fi.” Alec gasped as his seed burst forth, landing hotly on her tits. Kade stepped closer, grabbed the back of her head, pulled, and shot his load over her face. Fi shuddered and shook as her own, final orgasm overtook her. Zero.

Chapter 7 Fi fluttered between conscious and unaware. Her entire body thrummed and throbbed. Her legs and hips especially ached and cramped in protest, her heart thumped against her ribs, and her entire sexual core seemed to have melted away. She drew in a deep breath, opened her eyes, and looked around. Murky predawn light crept into the room from the large windows, darkly illuminating the two men in bed with her. Slowly, she sat up then scooted to the edge of the bed, wincing as her pussy protested the movement. As quietly as she could, Fi stood, held on to the bed as her shaky legs decided whether or not to support her, then pushed away and stared at them. They both lay on their backs. Alec had one hand flung over his eyes, the other splayed over his chest. He looked rested, playful, content. Kade’s head faced the windows, arms tucked under his neck as though lounging in a hammock. Even in sleep he exuded power. Neither wore so much as a sheet. Even though her body ached and she seriously doubted she ever wanted to have sex again, the double sight of their masculine beauty was intoxicating. Hard bodies, magic fingers, and cocks that never quit. How’d she get so damn lucky? Fi sighed and made her way to the bathroom, craving a hot soak. She’d already shared so much with these two virtual strangers, what did a bath matter? Right? She flipped on the light, groaning in appreciation at the huge garden tub tucked into the far corner. A white maple shelf stood

nearby replete with scented candles, baths salts, and soft, luxurious bath sheets. She bit her lip, hesitating, though her fingers itched to turn on the knob. “How uncouth is it to take a bath in a stranger’s house?” “Feel free,” a woman’s voice sounded behind her. Fi screeched and whirled. The Goddess hovered near the door. Fi slumped. “Oh, it’s you.” She was too damn exhausted to even care that she was naked before the ethereal beauty. One finely tweezed brow lifted. “Still mouthy, I see.” “Forgive me if I don’t fall to my knees and thank you, but I just spent ten hours having my brains fucked out and I’m damn sore.” Concern darted across the Goddess’s face, and she drifted closer, solidifying on the soft rug. One hand reached out, cupping her chin. Fi could not resist the touch and sighed. “I did not know it would be so hard on you, little one.” “What did you expect? Do you even know what fifty orgasms feel like?” Chagrined consternation replaced the concern. The Goddess pulled away. “Well, it doesn’t matter now, does it? Alec and Kade have fulfilled their job duties and you have been released.” Job duties bit at her. It had felt more personal than that. Well, for her, anyway. The Goddess flipped at a brass faucet, turning the water on and off repeatedly. Then she looked at Fi. “I trust you have learned your lesson?” Fi’s stubborn pride demanded she tell her to piss off, but for once logic ruled her brain. And her mouth. “I did,” she said quietly. The Goddess lit up, smiling bright enough to hurt Fi’s eyes. “What did you learn?” That even two gorgeous, well-hung men can’t make fifty orgasms comfortable. “Not to mock you, I suppose is the best way to put it.” “Hm, not exactly the lesson I envisioned.”

Fi sighed. “Then, what?” “I think, my dear, that is something you’ll have to find out for yourself. I will give you a hint, because I love puzzles. Love is a gift, a treasure. It comes in different sizes, shapes, and numbers. Don’t be afraid of it.” She winked and dissipated out of existence. “That gives me the creeps,” Fi muttered. She looked around then, content she was alone, she turned back to the tub, opening both faucets up. Heavy on the hot water. From the hand-labeled tins on the shelf, she selected Eucalyptus Mint and opened it, taking a deep breath. “Oh, heaven,” she said and poured a more than liberal amount into the swirling water. Immediately the air grew heavy and aromatic. Her shoulders lost their stiffness, and the headache that threatened eased up. Fi grabbed one of the hand towels, rolled it into a log, and climbed in the tub, tucking the towel behind her. She sighed and drifted deep into the hot, fragrant water, allowing it to ease her pains, ebb away her tired soreness. Too bad her mind wouldn’t shut down so easily. Snippets of last night pelted her. She cringed at some of the things she’d said, done, begged for. “Two strangers,” she muttered, shocked at her own behavior. “Two.” What was it about Alec and Kade that severed all common sense? She didn’t think it was just the curse. She was always careful. Even when she’d been in the midst of full-blown sexual heat. Until last night. Last night had been a blur of sex, need, and satisfaction. The last time she’d lost control like that, she’d ended up cursed. “Well, that won’t ever happen again,” she said and picked up a bar of soap from the shelf. She’d finish her bath, get dressed, and sneak out of the house and disappear. She’d never see the Goddess or the men again. A pang that could have been regret threatened, but she ruthlessly squashed it.

Okay, she wouldn’t say it aloud, would barely think it, but Fi had a suspicion she was done with men. For good. The water roiled slightly and she gulped, looking around with a frown. Not forever, just for now. ’Til I can get my head screwed on straight. The water settled. “Shit, shit, shit,” she muttered, grabbing a loofah and lathering it. She stood and quickly washed her body, wincing as she grazed the more tender spots. A quick rinse and she hopped out. Dripping wet and naked, she caught sight of herself in the mirror. Light bruises, beard marks, and an overall flush seemed to light her from the inside. Her breasts looked fuller and her pussy flared in a heavy pout. Fi blinked at her reflection before pulling a towel off the shelf. Had she always looked so, so sensual? Avoiding the mirror, she dried off, wrapped the towel around her, and opened the door. Both men were gone, the bed made and looking as if nothing had ever happened on it, much less a marathon sex session. Her clothes were folded neatly, sitting atop the chair. A note was tucked into her tennis shoe. Fi, Went to talk to the Council. Make yourself at home. We’ll be back in a few hours. A&K The Council. Fi nipped at her bottom lip and wrinkled her nose when it tingled. She knew they had to report the success of their mission—their job—but it still hurt. Ridiculously, she’d thought somewhere in the night, she’d become more than just a job. “Idiot, it’s what they do.” She carefully refolded the note and set it on the bureau then dressed as quickly as her still-damp skin would allow. She wanted to be gone before they returned.

**** Alec paced in the hallway, glancing at the closed double doors with each turn. “I don’t like this,” he said to Kade. “Feels wrong somehow.” Kade leaned against the wall, reading the newspaper. He shrugged. “Why?” “Dunno.” Alec shoved his hands in his pockets. “It’s almost as if we’re betraying her somehow.” That got Kade’s full attention. “Seriously? How many times have we done this, Alec? Two, three hundred?” “But it’s never been like that before. Those were easy fixes, simple cases where we were literally in and out. A few bits of instruction, a couple of hours of do this, not that. More teaching than anything else.” He sighed, frustrated as hell. “We never had a case like Fi before.” Kade frowned. “Alec, I don’t think I like the way this is going.” “Tell me you didn’t feel something beyond duty.” “Fuck.” “You can’t, can you?” Alec bounced on his toes. Kade methodically folded the paper, tucked it under his arm, and pinned him with a dark glare. “What we feel or don’t feel is irrelevant, Alec. We are expressly forbidden from getting involved with a job.” “Yeah, yeah, consequences to our actions, something dark and permanent. I know.” Well, not really. No other Enrichers had ever been in this position, none even tempted to cross the line between duty and love. So, really, whatever the consequences were to becoming involved with a job after that job was done remained unknown. Would they be stripped of their powers? Lose their longevity? Have to give up their positions as Enrichers? Was he ready to face those options?

Fi’s delicate, elfin face drifted through his mind. Heard her wicked, sultry laugh. He responded immediately. Kade grabbed his arm. “Knock it off. Besides, it wasn’t real.” “What do you mean?” “She was hopped up on the curse of the Goddess. Not her true and real self. In real life, she could be as frigid as a freakin’ ice cap.” “Bullshit. You heard what the Goddess said, passion runs deep in Fi. I felt something, Kade. I know you did, too.” “Alec, listen to me. We’re going to go in there, give our account, and wait for our next job. End of fucking story.” “Or what?” Alec held his breath. He’d rarely pushed Kade this hard, but he couldn’t stop himself. This was different. Fi was different. The doors opened and they were motioned in. Kade shoved his face close. “Or I start looking for a new partner.” A fierceness gripped Alec, and he met his friend’s eyes with unflinching resolve. “Then start looking, ’cause I’m going after her.” He spun on his heel and stalked from the Council hall, ignoring Kade’s shouted demands to return. No, this felt right. Returning to her was the right thing to do. Fifteen minutes later he stood in the empty apartment. “Fuck. Double fuck,” he snarled. Alec sniffed the air, but only the intoxicating aroma of her spent arousal lingered in the air. Her presence, her essence was gone. That didn’t stop him from searching every room for her. Nothing. Not even a fucking note. Shoving his hands in his pockets, he returned to the bedroom and stood in front of the wall of windows, staring moodily into the shadows of falling night. Downstairs he heard the door slam and heavy footsteps ascend the stairs. He turned toward the door. “She’s gone,” he quietly told Kade. Surprise spread over his face. “Where’d she go?”

“Don’t know. Gone when I got back. Satisfied?” Kade hesitated, which completely threw Alec. Kade was never uncertain. It’s what made him such a damn good Dom. “No,” he finally said, raking a hand through his hair. “I’m not.” Hope stirred. “What did the Council say?” Kade sighed. “Come to the living room. We both need a drink.” With deft hands, Alec poured two large measures of the hundredyear-old scotch they so enjoyed. Handing one tumbler to Kade, he settled on the couch near the fire. “So?” Kade moved in front of the fireplace, glaring moodily into the dark space. “Good news is we’re still employed. The bad news is we’re on probation.” “What did you tell them that caused that?” “I didn’t say a damn word. The Goddess was there.” “Huh.” Alec sipped at his scotch. “Well, what did she say?” “That we needed a long break from our duties. That more pressing business was at hand for us, but we needed to figure out what it was.” Alec rolled his eyes. “Crap, I hate it when they get all mystical like that. What’s wrong with just saying what’s on your mind?” Kade chuckled darkly. “Oh, she did that, too, but behind closed doors. And that, apparently, is what got us on desk duty.” Alec waited. “What did she say?” He growled impatiently. “No fucking idea. And the Council wasn’t saying either. Couldn’t even get Clarissa to give me a hint. Only thing I know is that you and I are off the roster for at least the next three months.” Kade tossed back some scotch. “With pay, of course.” Alec snorted. “We’ve got more money than we can spend in three lifetimes.” He rose and poured another drink. “What do we do now?” Kade sucked in a deep breath. His smile was both rueful and determined. “While I was confined to the Elder’s Private Rooms, one thought buffeted my mind.” He sipped his scotch. “Fi. Over and over again, I saw her face, heard her laugh, and felt her pleasure in each pore and muscle of my body.”

Alec shot to his feet. “What are you saying, Kade?” His heart tripped double-time with his rising hope. “By the time they recalled me, the urge to tell them to piss off so I could return to her, to both of you, was so strong, it was as though a red haze descended on me.” Kade stood also. “Fortunately, they were succinct with their edicts. I listened, agreed, and hightailed it home, Fi’s taste filling my mouth. The curse may have started this whole thing, but Fi burrowed herself into my heart. My soul. I feel it, feel her in every beat. I came back for her.” He frowned. “I did not expect to find her gone.” Alec shrugged. “Well, we did tell her she was just a job.” He cursed inwardly, wishing now he’d been more open, more vocal with his burgeoning emotions. But it all had happened so fast. Too fast? No, he didn’t believe that, and apparently, neither did Kade. Fi McGantry’s magic wasn’t in her shattered curse but in the fire of her soul. The flame that captured them both. Alec rubbed the back of his neck, impatient for action, desperate to hold her again. “What do we do now?” “Now,” Kade said. “We find her and make her ours.”

Chapter 8 Fi stood at the edge of Soulseat Loch, hands shoved into her light jacket, and stared at the gently rippling water. The rising sun shimmered at the edge of the lake, casting coral fingers along the deep blue Scottish sky. She inhaled and exhaled several times, willing her mind to calm. But like every other morning since fleeing Alec and Kade’s apartment, peace remained elusive. It had taken each minute of the last seven days since then for her body to heal. She feared her heart never would. “You were just a damn job,” she muttered, but the biting reminder did nothing to ease the ache of loneliness. A yawning abyss of emotion surrounded her these last few days. Her mind never strayed from the night with Alec and Kade. And each memory, each reliving of their time together only served to confuse her further. Sure, it was great sex, but nothing more. Right? Her heart called bullshit on that one. Something happened to her during the night. Each time they touched her, made her body sing, both men managed to snag a little piece of her heart. This alone boggled her mind. Since her divorce, Fi learned to live on her own, all alone. On more than one occasion she’d been accused of having an ice barrier around her heart. And she ruefully acknowledged the fact, but didn’t know how to change it.

Seemed Alec and Kade had not only breached the wall, they’d shattered it. Love. Fi’s heart pinched and her breath whooshed out in a long, quick exhale. Impossible. Crazy. Ridiculous. Yet… “Am I in love?” she asked the lapping water tentatively. Yes hissed and rippled on the air, and she swallowed hard. “All right,” she muttered, fisting her hands. “But with which one?” Silence. Figures. The Goddess sure as hell had a warped sense of humor. Fi sensed her hand in this mess. Still. She picked up a stone, smooth from eons of water licking at its edges. She hefted the rock in her hand and looked at the lake once more, then threw it as far as she could. The force wrenched her shoulder, but she ignored the burn, waiting for the satisfying thunk of rock bursting the liquid surface. Instead, only the silence returned. “Damn it.” Couldn’t even throw a rock the right way. Fi bounced on her toes, the morning chill finally reaching her skin. Time to return to the cabin. To the emptiness. She turned around, trudging up the stone-strewn hill until her sneakers hit the lush, green grass of the backyard. A sprig of white smoke plumed from the fireplace. The hint of delectable, homemade bread wafted on the air. Still, her inner turmoil remained. She hadn’t even been this upset when she caught her husband cheating. She’d only had ten hours with Alec and Kade. How in the hell could she be missing them? She didn’t even really know them. But her body did. Her heart did.

She kicked the dirt from her shoes on the porch, opened the back door, and stepped inside. The aroma of the bread was stronger now, surrounding her. She sighed in appreciation, mouth watering at the prospect of fresh butter, hot bread, and a glass of wine. Her own version of comfort food. Fi tossed her jacket on the cedar chest in the back entry and headed down the hallway. As she made the turn into the living room, movement caught her eye and she screeched, jumping backward. “Jeez, Fi, that’s a nice set of pipes you’ve got, but I like my hearing just the way it is.” Her eyes rounded and she froze, unable to believe who she was hearing. She swallowed then stepped into the living room. Sure as shit, there they stood. Tall, blond Alec smiled from near the fireplace. His fingers lightly gripped the long neck of a beer no doubt lifted from her fridge. He wore a button-up shirt, open to reveal a chest-hugging T-shirt and jeans that cupped him in all the right and delicious places. Fi drank him in for a long, yearning moment then turned her attention to Kade who lounged on the other side of him. Sporting a crisp, burgundy dress shirt and creased, black slacks, he looked dark and mysterious. Predatory, even. His gaze pinned her in place, black as night and unreadable. “How did you find me? What are you doing here?” she asked, slowly moving further into the room. She didn’t know how to feel, how to act. Was there more to the job? Had they done something wrong? Did she need to fill out a customer satisfaction survey? She choked back laughter that bordered on hysteria. “We’re here for you, little one,” Alec said. She sank onto the couch, staring up at them both. Her heart screamed Yes! but her common sense wasn’t as easily swayed as her libido. “For what?” Kade strode across the room and sat next to her, cupping her fingers. “Forever.”

Her heart sang and elation shot through her. Then, sanity returned, she pulled her hand free, shoving a palm up. “Whoa, whoa, fucking whoa.” She shook her head. “I don’t understand any of this. Your job is done, remember? Fuck you and good riddance? Happy orgasms and ride off into the sunset for your next lay?” Alec winced then cleared his throat. “I’m not going to lie, Fi. Usually, yeah, that’s the way it works. But with you, it’s different somehow.” Different. What a load of crap. “Until you get your next assignment and poof, away you go.” Kade cupped her chin, forcing her to meet his eyes. “We’re on a sabbatical, if you will, Fi. The Council has decided that we need to reevaluate our positions.” He flicked a glance at Alec. “We talked about it and we both agreed that what we want is you.” His fingers tightened as his voice grew raspy. “I’m not saying that what we have might last forever, Fi, but it’s something we must explore. For all of our sakes.” The wall she’d hastily built crumbled a bit at his solemn, almost vulnerable tone. She would have expected this of Alec, but never Kade. Still, she’d been hurt before, and if this past week was any indication, if they left her again, she might not survive. Alec walked to them, crouching beside her. “Hey,” he whispered, stroking her hair then the length of her back, making her shiver. “Something special happened to us while we were with you, Fi. Please believe me when I say in all the years we’ve been doing this, it’s never happened.” Fi pursed her lips. “Just how long have you been doing this? And what exactly is this?” Alec shrugged. “We work for the Council. We are called Enrichers. Most of the time, we help people figure out what’s holding them back from letting go. Help them find a way to express pleasure and allow someone special into their lives.” She squinted. “So, you’re like, uh, sexual cupids?”

Kade laughed, rumbly and seductive. “As good a description as any. It’s allowed us to sow the oats we’ve had for a while.” “How long,” she demanded bluntly. She heard the pride in his voice, sensed how much he enjoyed what he did. They did. “Two hundred years or so. Little longer,” Alec replied. She gaped at them. “What the hell?” Fi jumped up, holding out her hands. “Are you freakin’ vampires? Holy shit, where’s my garlic?” Though only half-teasing, the offhand comment of their longevity totally threw her. She’d not been expecting that. “No vampires here,” Kade assured her. He rose, stalked across the room, and crowded her against the wall. He trapped her between his strong arms, bent his head, and nuzzled her neck. Fi moaned, fingers wrapping around his forearms. “Though I do bite on request.” He nipped at her flesh and she shivered, feeling goose bumps rise. Then, in one quick withdrawal, he was gone, watching her with hooded, unreadable eyes. “We’re not immortal, just exceptionally long lived.” “But what are you?” “Children of the Council, Fi. That’s as much as we know about our parentage. We’re not really privy to that information.” “Weird,” she muttered. “Yep,” he agreed. “Now, back to why we’re here.” “About that.” She held up a hand, already shaking her head. “I admit I missed you guys like hell. Can’t stop thinking about you. You invade my dreams and thoughts, day and night. But I’m not a plaything. I’m not just some convenient piece of ass for you to amuse yourselves with until the next call comes through.” They exchanged glances before Alec glided forward. He took her arm and steered her back to the couch, gently pushing her down. “We missed you, too, Fi. That is what is so odd for us. We never, ever, think about a case once our duties have been fulfilled. And neither of us can get you out of our minds.” Once more his hand glided over her hair. “Don’t you think that deserves a closer inspection?”

Damn, she was so torn. Hope warred with fear. She wanted to throw caution to the wind and say yes, but could she trust herself again? Trust them? Alec rubbed small circles between her shoulder blades, and the stress slowly ebbed from her. Solid, strong, here. As before, she was enveloped in a warm sense of safety and completion. “What do we do now?” Kade smiled, resettling next to her. “First, we find out if we’re still as compatible under normal circumstances as we were when you were under the curse.” “Crap,” she whispered. “I never thought of that. Do you mean this unrelenting desire for you could merely be the effects of the curse?” Kade looked offended and amused all at once. “I doubt it, little one. But I propose we, the three of us, discover that for a fact.” Her lower body, thankfully fully healed, trembled with darts of sexual anticipation. “Oh, yeah? I suppose you have a plan?” “I do,” Kade replied, standing. He held out his hand. “Tonight, you both will serve me.” All the air left her lungs and her knees shook. In the week she’d been home, his particular fetish was one she’d spent countless hours researching. Thank heavens for the Internet. She’d been shocked at how much it all had turned her on. “All right,” she said. Kade relaxed and he shoved one hand in his crisp, black slacks. “Excellent.” She turned to Alec. “And you? What’s your plan?” He winked, caressing her cheek with one tender finger. “You’ll find out tomorrow.”

Chapter 9 Fi stepped into their apartment at exactly eight o’clock, just as she’d been instructed. In fact, since they’d taken their leave of her earlier, the remainder of her day had been one long list of honey-dos. She’d done everything from read a slew of BDSM-inspired stories to preparing herself for tonight’s interlude. It had been ages since she’d shaved her pussy bald. God, she’d forgotten how much she enjoyed the sensation of smooth skin and the sense of vulnerability it afforded. Right now, her sexiest red underwear—another item on the list— rubbed and slithered along her clit with maddening pressure. Fi knew if she’d passed a finger along her slit, she’d come up wet. Next, Kade instructed she take a long, leisurely bath, followed up with an afternoon of shopping according to the list he provided. Stepping into the adult toy store had been another highlight of her day; finding the implements he’d ordered her to purchase left her even wetter and hotter than shaving. She clutched the bag to her chest as she stepped into the hallway. “Hello?” she called out. “Upstairs.” Alec’s voice drifted down the stairs. Fi took a deep breath, tried to quell the erratic beats of her heart, then grinned and raced upstairs. Sometimes, she’d decided, one must throw caution to the wind and actually live. Tonight, she planned on doing just that. And hopefully the rest of her days and nights would follow the same pattern. She rounded the landing and aimed for the living room. The men, seated on the couch, both rose at her entrance. “You look lovely,” Alec said, kissing her cheek.

“Indeed, you do,” Kade added. “Would you like a drink?” “No, thank you.” She wanted to start and start right now. She held the bag out to him. His smile as he took it was one of predatory pleasure. “Excellent. Did you finish everything on your list?” “Yes.” He raised a brow. “I assume you learned something from your reading?” She hesitated, lips suddenly dry, knowing just what he was intimating. “Yes, sir.” He nodded. “Good girl.” Alec grinned and gave her a thumbs-up. Nervous energy gripped her and she drummed her fingers against her leg. “So, now what?” Kade laughed. “Impatient wench.” She blushed. “I am. Those sites you sent me to were pretty, uh, arousing. I had no idea it was really like that.” “It?” “Bondage,” she said, waving her hand. “I always thought whips and chains and beating, but it’s not. It’s so much more. It’s very intimate.” Kade nodded, surprise lighting his eyes. “That it is. And it’s one of the biggest reasons I wanted to experiment with it with you. It’s one of the most trust-laden facets of sex. Giving over complete control and trust. Without the Goddess’s influence, without the curse, I want to see just how much you can give. And take.” He sat back on the couch and spread the treasures from her shopping trip out on the coffee table. “Come sit with us.” She crossed the room, seating herself between the two of them. Kade picked up a pair of nipple clamps. “I see you went with the spring-tightening kind. Good choice, especially for a beginner.” He tossed them down then lifted the small egg-shaped vibrator and its

wireless remote. He nodded again. Blindfold. Feathers. Leather paddle. His fingers caressed that for a long time and she squirmed. Kade turned to face her, taking hold of her hands. “There are some things to remember tonight, Fi. First of all is that you are in total control. What I do to you tonight, you have the power to stop at any time. Did you come up with a safe word?” She swallowed hard. “Pickle.” He smiled. “All right. Do you feel comfortable with the things we talked about? The things I will do to you?” “Yes.” Alec nudged her hip with his thigh and coughed lightly. She started. “Yes, sir,” she said quickly. “Uh, that’s gonna take some getting used to.” Kade shrugged. “I’m sure the heat from your ass will help remind you. So, tell me what we talked about, what you expect.” Fi wrapped her fingers around each other, suddenly nervous. Like a college kid about to take an exam in a course she’d never cracked a book for. What if she answered wrong? What if he didn’t like what she said? What if she didn’t know what she wanted? “Fi, take a deep breath,” Alec murmured in her ear. “He just wants your verbal affirmation, that’s all.” She looked at Kade who nodded encouragement. “It’s a partnership, Fi, not a dictatorship.” He winked, easing her fears. “I’m still in charge, but it’s all about pleasure.” That helped tremendously. “Well, uh, we agreed to restraints, blindfolds, spanking.” She huffed out a breath. “Maybe some flogger play. Orgasm control. Discipline.” Though her pussy clenched and flared when she said it, she still wasn’t sure about that part. “Um, what kind of discipline are we talking about?” Kade shrugged. “Since you’ve never played in this realm, and because I have a fascination with your beautiful ass, I have a feeling you’ll be draped over my lap for a few spankings. Mainly, though, it’s

about correcting behavior. We won’t get into that a whole lot tonight, but we will in the future.” The future. Her entire body quivered. He spoke of it so confidently as if there was no question there would be a future. But hadn’t Kade been the one to insist the next few days were merely test runs? “Fi,” Kade said, tone harsh. She met his eyes. “You don’t have to do this. Say the word and we walk away.” Beside her, Alec’s breath whispered out on a soft curse. “No,” she said, somewhat surprising herself. In for a penny, in for a pound, or however the hell that saying went. “I want this.” She clasped Kade’s hand, turned, and covered Alec’s. “I want you.” They were each quiet for a long, nerve-wracking minute. Then Kade nodded as he stood. “Then let’s adjourn to the playroom, shall we?” The temperature rose at least ten degrees and her eyes rounded. “Playroom? Not, the uh, the bedroom?” Kade smiled briefly. “You would prefer to go to Club Crème?” “I’m almost afraid to ask what that is.” “A fetish club,” Alec replied, rubbing her shoulder. “A place to watch, to play, to learn. They specialize in controlled kink.” “Sounds intriguing,” she replied. “But not tonight,” Kade said. “Now, let’s go. Alec, lead the way.” Alec took her hand and escorted her from the room, past the bedroom, and to the end of the hall. A nondescript, perfectly generic white door stood closed in front of them. Alec pulled out a key, fitted it into the brass lock, and swung the door open, motioning her inside. “Relax,” he whispered as she passed. “I guarantee you’ll love it.” Fi heard him but couldn’t find the words to respond. Her entire attention was held by the vast array of implements, surfaces, and images on the walls. Like the rest of the house, it was sparsely, elegantly decorated, but any resemblance ended there.

A wood and padded bench was against the far wall with two long, wooden poles jutting from each side. Small, metal rings dangled from the tops of the poles. The bottom of the bench also had metal links and chains. Various paddles, floggers, whips, and things she didn’t have the foggiest identity for were hung in precise rows on the wall above it. Each tool was separated by a small photograph, each depicting people in various stages of bondage. A large sideboard stood at another wall, its top covered with more photos and even a vase of fresh flowers. She found that touching and, oddly, comforting. Her excitement rose even more when she looked behind the door and saw a large St. Andrew’s cross in the corner. “Holy crap,” she whispered, starting forward, eager to inspect it. Alec caught her. “Not yet. Listen, Kade will be here in a few minutes.” She frowned. “I hadn’t realized he wasn’t here.” “He’s getting ready, which is what we should be doing.” Eagerness leaped from his eyes. “Start getting undressed. If you have any questions, now is the time to ask them.” “Undressed?” “Yes, Fi, did you think we were gonna do this fully clothed?” Chagrined, she rolled her eyes. “Duh.” He chuckled and ripped his shirt over his head, exposing washboard abs and broad shoulders. Fi was immediately distracted. She ran her hand along his stomach, raking his taut skin with her nails. He growled and caught her fingers, lifting them to his lips. “Tomorrow, darling, you’ll have free rein to do anything you want to me, but for now, we have to play by Kade’s rules.” He tipped his head. “Unless you are looking for punishment right off the bat?” That got her moving. Fi shrugged out of her shirt, folding it neatly and setting it on the sideboard. She worked at the button of her jeans. “Punishment?” She pondered that seriously. “I don’t think so, Alec,

hell I’m not even sure if I know what I’m getting into. We’ve talked a lot about it, I understand all of the mechanics, but mentally, I’m just not sure what to do or not do.” Alec shimmied from his jeans, kicking them to the corner by the sideboard. “It’s fairly simple, Fi. Do what Kade says and be rewarded, don’t and you’ll be punished.” He tugged off his briefs and socks then stood in front of her, naked, hard, and mouth-wateringly tempting. “For example,” he murmured, moving closer. “If you were to wrap your hand around my cock and stroke it, and Kade just happened to walk in, we’d both be in trouble.” She gently ran one finger along the shaft, smiling when he jerked and bobbed, the head bumping along her palm. “What kind of trouble?” “For me, caning. For you, probably a few hard spanks.” Alec tipped his head toward the door. “Hurry up, Fi. Get your bra and panties off.” He moved further into the room and dropped to his knees in front of the bench, facing the door. He rested his tight ass on his heels, laid his palms on his thighs, and stilled. “That would just be the first infraction,” he continued, lips barely moving. “Each one secures a harsher punishment.” He winked at her. “And your inexperience will only save you for so long.” Fi trembled, trying to assimilate his words. Spankings, canings, the bench, the cross. God, her pussy hurt so bad right now, she knew if either of them touched her, she’d come instantly. She flung off her underwear and shot across the room to kneel in a perfect imitation of Alec. She gasped. The position spread her pussy and her ass, making her feel vulnerable and exposed. Not to mention incredibly horny. “Want to know anything else?” Alec whispered. There was one thing that had been hammering at her. She looked at Alec, seeing him for the first time as somewhat submissive. “You submit to him? Serve him?”

Alec’s eyes flashed and his dick slapped against his stomach. “Yes.” “That’s it? Just yes?” “It’s difficult to put into words, Fi. Sometimes I submit to him. Sometimes I serve him. Mostly, we’re just partners. We’ve been together a long time. I find him sexy as hell, and the same goes for him. I love fucking him, I love it when he fucks me.” Fi squirmed at the delicious words and a warm trickle slid down her inner thigh. “But I’ve never noticed it,” she said. “You don’t seem like, well, I don’t know, like you are the beta and he’s the alpha.” Alec’s face was taut with tension, his entire body stiff from his shoulders to his cock. “We’re both alpha,” he said. “And that’s what makes it so damn hot.” Kade, carrying a gym bag, entered the room, closing the door firmly behind him. He studied them both for a long moment then nodded. “Now, Fi, let your training begin.”

Chapter 10 Kade was astounded to find his hands shaking as he approached the pair. It had been years since he’d been so excited at the prospect of a new submissive. But he also acknowledged no other woman had touched him as deeply as Fi did. Kade sure as hell hoped the Goddess’s hand was nowhere in this equation. He wanted Fi with a passion that ran deeper than anything he’d ever felt—aside from Alec. One more reason to convince her she needed them. Both of them. He’d carefully planned the evening’s events. He wanted her prepared for any eventuality from reward to discipline. The best way was practical application, of course, and he couldn’t wait to feel his hand smacking against the tightness of her lush ass. But he wanted to ease her into it as well. He strode to them, stopping in front of Alec. “I don’t want to bore you with a bunch of directions and instructions, Fi, so I’m going to show you a few things. If you have any questions, feel free to speak up.” He cut a look at her. “Unless otherwise ordered not to.” She nodded. “Good.” He gripped Alec’s hair, tugging his head forward. “Would you prefer to witness finesse and foreplay or get straight to it?” He hid a smile at her expression—eyes as round as wide as baseballs, mouth just as big. “What’s the difference?” she asked, voice quivering. Kade could smell her arousal, which made him relax, now confident she would respond as she did while cursed. Except this time, her reactions would be honest and 100 percent genuine.

He pressed Alec’s face to his crotch. “There really isn’t any difference, Fi. It’s my job to take care of both of you. To ensure your safety and happiness, as well as pleasure for all of us. I’ll play with Alec a little bit. He’s been in a mood the last week, so some time on the bench while I cane him would help calm him down. Eventually I’ll fuck his tight little ass, so I might even ease a plug in to help loosen him up.” Kade pulled Alec’s head back. “He likes it when I hit the base of the plug while I’m whipping him, don’t you?” “Yes, sir,” Alec replied. Kade released Alec and stepped back. “Get up, both of you. Let’s go to the bench.” He grabbed the bag, opened it, and pulled out a small butt plug. He’d bought it just for her. Fi’s interested, somewhat wild eyes followed every movement. He held it up to her. “Bend over the bench, Fi.” “What’s that for?” “You.” Her face flushed and she breathed a little tiny oh of a sound. Her breasts quivered as she shivered. For half a second, Kade was positive she was going to refuse and walk out. Instead, she slowly pivoted, giving him her bare back. With graceful elegance, she draped herself over the bench, turning her head, meeting his gaze directly. “I’m ready.” Kade’s heart beat nearly as hard as his cock swelled. Her sweet, easy submission nearly undid him. He gripped the base of the plug and breathed deeply. “Reach back, darlin’, and spread those luscious ass cheeks of yours.” She gasped and shook her head, burning red forehead to neck. “I can’t,” she whispered. He set the plug on the bench, pulled his hand back, and slapped her ass four times in rapid, hard succession. She damn near came off the bench. “Ow, ow, damn that stings,” she shouted.

“Good.” Kade leaned over her, pressing his hard dick into the warm cleft of her ass, forcing her into the padded bench seat. He bit at her neck, just below her ear, holding the sensitive skin between his teeth just past the point of comfort. She squirmed with her lower body, but did not move her head or neck. He knew she didn’t fear him, she feared the unknown. He wanted to open her mind, her horizons, her heart. “Disobedience, including refusal, garners punishment, Fi.” Kade whispered before he pulled away. “Let’s try that again. Open your ass for me.” He saw the shudder roll over her, but without hesitation, she reached back, pushed her face into the bench, and gripped her ass. With small, hesitant movements she pulled at the flesh. Her asshole clenched as the air hit it. “How do you feel?” he asked. She didn’t respond and he sighed, smacked her ass again. He smiled as her ass cheeks slapped back together and she groaned. He waited, hand still poised, but the lass caught on quick. Her fingers scrambled back to her buttocks, opening herself for him again. He lowered his hand. “Fi?” “I feel vulnerable.” Her muffled voice floated back to him. “Out of control. Open.” “Good,” he said as he bent to the bag and pulled out a round bottle of lube. “That honesty is very important, Fi. Knowing what makes you feel a certain way helps me learn and test your limits.” Kade popped the lid and dribbled lube over her small, pink hole, rubbing it in with his finger. She moaned and wiggled beneath him, tiny gasps of pleasure escaping her. With slow, methodical thrusts, Kade sank one finger in to the second knuckle, pulled back, and in again. He added a bit more lube and continued to ream her, opening her up for the much larger plug. “How does it feel, Fi?” he asked.

“Incredible,” she breathed. “Full and stretched. Like every nerve ending in my ass is tingling.” Alec chuckled. “It gets better.” Gently, Kade added a second finger. Her head came up and she bucked hard, hands slipping again, and her warm ass wrapped around his hand. “Oh, my God!” Kade pushed her back to the bench. “Get that ass open, Fi,” he growled in warning. Her fingers shook as she complied, but her hips churned in small circles. He couldn’t tell if she was trying to rub her clit against the bench, impale herself deeper on his fingers, or both. Either way, he knew she was ready for the next step. Kade pulled his fingers out, wiped them on a towel, and poured lube on the tip of the plug. He held it in front of her, her eyes following the drip of the lube sliding down the shaft and pooling at the wide base. “Ready?” She exhaled sharply before nodding. “All right, slow and steady, okay? A bit of pressure here in the beginning. Relax and push back a little, it makes it go in easier.” He fitted the tapered head to her well-lubed ass and pressed gently. The tip slid in easily and she again moved her hips. “Fuck,” she groaned. Kade held still, letting her adjust to the spreading toy. “Now for the widest part,” he told her. His eyes bounced between her flushed, pleasure-filled face and the erotic sight of her ass swallowing the red plug. Had he been less in control, he would have ripped the damn plug out and replaced it with his cock, fucking her until he came with hard, shooting jets deep inside her tight hole. He gripped the plug and pushed. She moaned and writhed, but no protest came from her. Kade stilled the toy at its largest point, enjoying the way it spread her wide open.

“Oh, damn,” she whispered, eyes meeting his. “Too much?” “No,” she said. “It just feels incredible.” He wiggled the toy and she jumped in time with his movements, eyes wide and mouth even wider. “Tell me.” “It’s, uh, a feeling of full but empty, if that makes any sense. Like I couldn’t take anymore, and yet, I ache for more.” He grunted and finished seating the plug then stepped back. “Makes perfect sense, Fi. Stand up.” Slowly she lifted herself from the bench, her adorable ass clenched so tight that little dimples appeared in her cheeks. “It’s not going anywhere,” Kade said. She gasped. “I thought you couldn’t read my mind anymore,” she accused. He chuckled. “I can’t, but the expression on your face said everything.” He motioned her closer, turning her with a strong hand on her shoulder. His fingers traced down her spine, dipping into the cleft of her ass and tapping at the base of the plug. She squeaked but didn’t move. “Good. Now, while I’m getting Alec ready, I want you to go over there and kneel as you were when I came in. Keep your legs slightly spread and your hands palm down on your thighs.” He studied her for a long moment. “I want this to be pleasurable for you, too, Fi, so if your legs start to cramp, you may ask to move. If you move without permission, your punishment will come much sooner than I’d planned.” Fi nodded as she took her place. He wasn’t trying to scare or intimidate her, just being matter-of-fact. He sure as hoped her pussy was dripping, too. Hoped she was already on the verge. “By the way,” he said as he slid the bench into the center of the room. “You are not allowed to come without permission, nor touch yourself in any way. Do you understand?” “Yes,” she said.

He waited. He gave her more than ample time, but she remained silent. He shrugged and her eyes finally widened as realization hit. “Shit,” she whispered. “Yes, sir.” “Two, Fi, and you’ll need to keep track. When I ask you how many strokes you’ll be getting, you need to give me an accurate count.” The implication hung in the air and she nodded vigorously. She settled on the mat in her position as Alec imitated her former position on the bench. Without prompting, he, too, reached back and opened his ass for Kade’s intrusion. Kade stepped up, a much larger plug in his hands. Fi gasped. Kade looked at her, finding her with hands over her mouth, eyes lasered in on the plug. “Four.” She snapped her gaze up to his. “What? Why?” “You broke position, Fi,” Kade patiently explained. Her innocence and intrigue in every aspect was intoxicating. For so long he’d been going through the motions, playing with submissives whose only thought was getting off. Fi brought a whole new freshness, a new invigoration, to his desires. He wasn’t about to fuck it up by being harsh and antagonistic. “Do you have a question?” he asked. She fidgeted, her hands back in position. Again her eyes flicked to the plug he held. “Isn’t that a bit, uh, large? Won’t it hurt him?” “It’s something that must be worked up to. His ass is tight, don’t get me wrong, and it will probably fill him fair to bursting. I’ll prep him carefully, only inserting it when I feel he’s ready. All of this is done to ensure I don’t hurt him in the wrong way. Make sense?” “Yes, sir, thank you for explaining.” “Watch carefully, Fi, one day, I may have you prep him for me.” Her entire body jerked and her fingers dug into her thighs, but she didn’t move them. He could tell she wanted to touch her pussy, stroke her clit. “Good girl,” he said.

As with Fi, Kade lubed Alec’s ass, massaging him with first one, then two, and finally three fingers. He thrust in and out rapidly, eliciting pleasured moans and groans from the man beneath him. Kade withdrew, slapped Alec’s ass hard and fast several times, then shoved the large plug in all the way to the base. Alec groaned and gasped. “Fuck, that always gets me,” he panted. “I know,” Kade said and slapped him again before turning to Fi. “Sit there, keep that plug in your ass, and don’t come, no matter what you see.” Her eyes were already glazed with desire, and he seriously doubted if she would be able to forestall an orgasm. Hell, he was counting on it. He itched to lay leather to her creamy skin. And he knew watching him Dom Alec would certainly send her over the edge. He leaned down, stroking Alec’s corded neck, trailing his fingers over his back and down to the plug, which he wiggled harshly. “Ready?” “Yes, sir,” Alec bit out. Kade selected a custom-made leather flogger from the wall. Circling in front of the bench, he lifted Alec’s hands and inserted them into the dangling leather cuffs. This brought his upper body off the bench, affording Kade more striking area. He flicked the flogger along Alec’s chest, down his stomach, and along the brush of pubic hair just visible at the bench line. Alec reared back, offering more of his body. Kade used slow, methodical strokes, sometimes staying on one area longer than another, always keeping his sub off balance. Alec kept his eyes half-closed, absorbing every stroke. Without stopping, Kade moved around his lover’s body, sweeping the straps down his buttocks and muscular thighs. He enjoyed the way Alec tightened his muscles, the way the skin rippled and pulsed. He breathed shallowly, his free hand dropping to stroke his cock.

“Spread your legs,” he ordered. Alec scooted them wide apart, his ass clenching around the plug. Unlike Fi, Alec knew better than to allow the toy to fall out, though there was little chance of that. He’d taught him well over their years together. The whipping stopped and Kade relaxed a moment, daring a glance over his shoulder at Fi. Rosy pink and flushed with desire, she watched him intently, gaze flicking up and down Alec’s body, much as Kade had done with his flogger. He looked between her thighs and grinned at the glistening sweetness gathering there. Hell yeah, she was aroused. It made his cock even harder. God, he needed to fuck her. Or fuck Alec. Or both. Yeah, both. Alec wiggled on the bench. Kade walked to the wall and selected a heavy leather flogger, its tails wider, hitting with more impact. It was rare that his friend broke his training and came without permission, but the addition of Fi to their bed might tip the scales. “You game?” “You trying to push me into failing?” Kade didn’t blink. “Yes or no?” He stroked Alec’s chest with the whip, teasing him with the siren song of the strands. “I can’t promise not to come. I’m on the edge right now.” He quirked a brow, letting his satisfaction seep through. “Can’t control yourself?” “She’s making me crazy. I can smell her need from here. I want her. I want you.” The other man paused, considering his words. “All right. We’ll go light, just so she gets the flavor. Fifty?” Alec winced. “Fine.” He ruffled his hair before pressing a soft kiss to his lips. “You can do it, Alec.” “Damn right I can.”

Fi shifted, drawing Kade’s attention, and he caught the slow trickle of excitement dribbling down her leg. “Enjoying it so far, lass?” “Yes, sir,” she replied. “Immensely.” He winked. “Good, just a few more strokes and we’ll move on to something more pleasurable. I think we all need it.” She straightened, eagerness in her smile. “Excellent.” Kade moved back behind Alec. He would spare him just a little this time and concentrate on his ass and back. Less chance of him coming that way. He pulled back the flogger and gently flicked it up Alec’s calves, the backs of his knees, his thighs. Alec squirmed and danced, sometimes pushing his ass out. Kade obliged and sent the strands dancing over his buttocks, using more force now and allowing the flogger to sneak in between his legs to wrap along the plug and Alec’s ball sac. “Shit,” Alec moaned, straining on tiptoe. Kade paused for a moment, astounded to realize he didn’t know the count. That had never happened before. He chuckled as he continued, sending the whip up Alec’s back, striking harder now and leaving light stripes of pink and white on his skin. Alec arched then hunched, providing a better surface area. “Harder, Kade,” he demanded, fists tight on the leather strips. “Not gonna come, are you?” “No,” came the strangled reply. “All right.” Kade moved the leather up and down his back and legs, faster, harder, with more accuracy. “Ready?” “Yes, damn it. Now.” Kade stepped forward and spun the flogger furiously up the open space of Alec’s ass, hitting cock, balls, and plug with equal ferocity. Alec gasped and bent, growling with the long strokes. “Don’t fucking squirt and ruin it, Alec,” Kade ordered. “Last one.”

“Do it!” Kade swung the whip as hard as he could, accurately driving the strands right onto the base of the plug driving it deep into Alec’s body. Smaller tentacles slapped greedily at his ass, legs, and cock. “Damn, damn, damn. Argh!” Alec fought against his bonds, nearly overturning the bench in his efforts not to come. At last the burn appeared to ease and his ass unclenched. “Holy fuck,” Fi breathed. Alec, sweaty and sporting a hard erection, laughed. “And then some,” Kade agreed as he helped Alec free of the restraints. He wiped the sweat from his friend’s forehead, tenderly cupped his jaw, and searched his eyes. “You okay?” Alec’s grin was wide and sated. “Hell yeah.” Kade traced the hard ridges of his abs as he kissed him. “Good.” He turned to their newest acquisition, the one he intended to do everything he could to keep. “Come here, Fi. Now, the fun begins.” She scrambled to her feet, nearly as nervous as when he told her to bend over the bench. She really didn’t know if she could take the kind of whipping Alec just endured. But she knew she wanted to try. Maybe. Kade stroked the soft pad of his thumb along her cheek. “Did you like that?” “Yes,” she said, soaking up the intimate gesture. “Will you whip me that hard?” He chuckled. “Not for a while, lass, and then only if you want me to. Do you want me to?” She licked her lips. Be honest or hedge? Hedging probably got her nowhere but a continued life of boring. With these two, she was beginning to sense she could have anything she wanted. Within both reason and boundaries. “Maybe one day.” She thought about his hand on her ass again, heard the sound in her ears. A blush suffused her entire body and she looked away from them.

“Now that’s an interesting look, Kade,” Alec noted, coming closer. She looked up at him, drinking in his toned, whipped body. A bright welt stood out on his tanned chest and she followed the line left to right with trembling fingers. “It was indeed. Care to enlighten us, Fi?” Once more she stroked the lash. “This turns me on,” she whispered, half-embarrassed to admit it. “I liked watching. Liked hearing it.” “Did you imagine yourself in his position?” Kade asked huskily. “Yes. But you’re right, I’m not ready for that.” Fi cleared her throat. “I, uh, also enjoyed when you spanked me, Kade. That felt really good. Unexpected, a bit painful, but also very arousing. I never knew.” He tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, tenderly stroking her cheek. “That’s good, Fi. All you have to do is ask and I’ll be happy to oblige you. Now?” Crap! Decision time. Fi looked to Alec for some guidance. His look of fierce need captivated her. Obviously, he was in a much worse state than she. “No,” she said huskily. “I am so damn close to coming right now that I’m afraid it would be wasted effort.” “My hands on your ass would never be wasted,” Kade murmured. She smiled. “Well, still, I am really horny.” Fi straightened as much as the plug would allow. “I would really, really liked to get fucked right about now.” The words were out before she really thought about how they sounded, then she frowned. “Wait, can I say that? Ask for that?” Kade sighed. “We have a lot of educating to do with you, little one. Nothing is off-limits, as long as all parties agree.” He took her arm, tugging her closer to the bench. “But you are correct, it’s time to get fucked.” He ground his cock along the cleft of her ass, nudging the plug, enjoying her gasps and sudden writhing. “Take a deep breath, Fi.”

It was all the warning he gave as he pulled the plug from her ass. The whoosh and tug then snap of her sphincter nearly did her in, but Fi managed to hold back her orgasm. The plug fell to the ground next to the bag and his hands were on her ass, spreading her cheeks wide. She blushed seven shades of crimson, just knowing he was staring at her asshole. She gaped and flinched, as if begging to be filled once more. What would he think? “Fantastic,” he said, rimming her with his thumb. “God, that feels good,” Fi murmured. Then his finger lifted and he stepped away, leaving her slightly bereft. “Alec, fuck her ass. She’s lubed and open enough for you to slide in. One stroke, got it?” “Oh God,” Fi whispered. Her lower body clenched. A bead of sweat broke out on her forehead, tracing a languid path down her jaw. Was she ready for this invasion? Her clit throbbed, and a deep fire swirled in her belly. Yeah, she was ready. She looked over her shoulder at Alec. He gripped the base of his cock and was squeezing hard as he approached. “Come and take my ass, Alec.” His face was hard with intent, dark, and commanding. She smiled slowly. A wolf on the prowl, and she was his prey. When he laid his body over hers, she shuddered, enjoying the power in his muscles. He ran his hands along her back, down her hips, and around her thighs. “Spread your legs, Fi.” She scuffled apart, one hand reaching between her legs to tangle with his. He slid his palm over the back of her hand and forced her fingers into the slick cleft of her pussy. Together they found her clit and began rubbing. Fi immediately bucked beneath him and Alec cursed, lifted away, and spread her ass. “Sorry, darlin’, no time for subtlety, I’ve got to fuck this lovely ass of yours.” He fitted the head of his cock to her rosy hole, spread her buttocks a bit more, and speared inward.

She nearly bucked him off. “Fuck, ow, damn,” she hollered. “Easy, Fi, easy. Clench your ass around my dick.” She did, though she still muttered and cursed and writhed. “Does it hurt?” Her movements stilled, then the muscle of her anal ring tightened and released his cock. “No,” she said, voice low and slow as honey. “I think I was surprised. Damn, it feels, I don’t know. Amazing. Full. Tight.” Alec chuckled and pulled back. “Yeah, me, too.” Leaning back, he gripped her hips and pulled out until the head of his cock flared and spread her tight ring. It burned and stung but nearly made her come. He held there and moved his hips side to side. She groaned, fingers moving faster on her clit. “Do it, Alec.” Suddenly Kade’s deep voice sounded from behind them, and Alec slid deeper into her body. The heat and spread of his cock through her ass made her jerk and moan. No way was she going to be able to withhold an orgasm. “Fuck,” she whispered, frigging herself harder. “Fuck me, Alec.” His breath hissed along her nape and his dick swelled, pushing at her tightness. She bucked and sought to draw him deeper. His cock was hot and hard, seeking out every nerve in her ass, and she reveled in it. Above her, Alec moaned, and she glanced up, seeing Kade’s hard face. “Keep fucking her, Alec. Fi, pay attention.” “Yes, Alec, keep fucking me. Oh, my God, I’m going to come.” “No!” Kade barked. “Do not come without permission.” He slapped Alec’s ass, who sped up his movements. Fi yelped. “Not fair.” “Not supposed to be.” “Watch me in the mirror, Fi,” Kade ordered. She dragged her gaze up to the large glass, breath panting with every thrust of Alec’s cock. Kade gave Alec another loud slap,

stepped squarely behind him, and pulled the plug from his ass, tossing it next to the other one. Alec stilled, buried deep in Fi’s ass. “No,” she whimpered in protest, but didn’t pull her eyes from the scene playing out before her. Inside of her. Kade swept his hands over Alec’s lean back and ass, fingering the slight welts he’d created with his flogger. Each touch made Alec jump and flinch, which in turn made his dick throb and thrust inside her. She squeezed her asshole, trying to make him move more but he didn’t. In the mirror, Kade wandered along every inch of Alec’s skin until he reached his buttocks. He snaked one finger inside the still gaping ass and Alec gave a deep groan which vibrated in her ass. God she wanted to come so bad, but she couldn’t, wouldn’t. Not yet. She would not disappoint either of her men. Kade added a bit more lube to his fingers, swabbing the head of his cock with the slippery aid, then set himself at the tight hole. Fi watched, absolutely entranced. Grabbing hold of Alec’s hips, he slowly pushed inward, taking his time. She knew now from experience, he was really making his friend feel every spreading inch as his cock sank in to its fullest. At last his sac rested in the groove of Alec’s quivering ass, and he held still for a long while. Kade threaded his fingers into Alec’s hair, tugged backward, and lifted up on his toes, forcing more of his cock into his ass. “Ah, fuck,” his friend groaned, his own hips moving in response. “Jeez,” Fi echoed. Kade chuckled. “Fuck her, Alec, while I fuck you.” “Yes, sir,” Alec said. Kade pulled out, and when Alec followed suit, plowed back in. Alec picked up the rhythm, and soon, they were each groaning and gasping with the strokes. Fi was overwhelmed by pleasure. Her pussy was absolutely soaked, her ass was on fire, and her brain swirled with the need to

come. She shoved back at Alec each time he thrust into her. She could feel when Kade sank his cock into Alec’s ass and it turned her on even more. She was being fucked in the ass while Kade fucked Alec in the ass. Incredible. “Harder,” she muttered. Alec’s fingers tightened on her hips. “Are you sure?” he panted. “Hell yeah,” she replied. “I need it, Alec, please.” He slammed into her hard and deep, pushing the bench forward an inch. The air left her body and she let go of her pussy to grab for the support. Within seconds, she heard and felt Kade respond by pistoning into Alec’s ass hard and deep. Alec’s cock slid in burning speed through her ass, his fingers hard and heavy at her hips before moving to her tits and grabbing there. She arched on the bench, shaking her hips. “Gonna come,” she wailed. Kade grunted behind her but she didn’t give a damn whether it was agreement or denial. Alec’s cock felt too damn good and her mind’s eye played out the scene behind her in intimate, exquisite detail. She closed her eyes, pictured Kade slamming into Alec’s ass, and came on a high, keening wail. Her ass clenched on his cock like a pneumatic hand, and Alec shouted as he came, pouring his cum hot and deep in her ass. Another orgasm speared her at the warm, wet sensation filling her ass. “Take my cum, Alec,” Kade shouted. Fi shivered and shook on the bench, trapped by Alec’s weight atop her and the pound of Kade’s body. The dark man groaned. Then his hands gripped her hips and she felt his final thrust into Alec’s ass as if it were her own. She came again with a force that sent her breathless and the room spinning. She looked at their odd daisy chain, admiring the glinting sweat that covered them all. Her heart swelled and tears burned her eyes. Yes, this was exactly right.

Kade held Alec’s hips in his hands, thumbs rubbing his skin as he milked the final remnants of cum from his cock. Kade pulled out of Alec’s ass and moved to the edge of the bench, propping himself next to it. He picked up a towel from the bag and cleaned himself off. Tossing that towel aside, he grabbed another and gently repeated the actions on Alec before pulling him away from her. A slow, languid haze seemed to fill her and she allowed him to move and position her as he used the last clean towel. Woozily, she thought about mentioning how ultrasensitive her clit was, but instead just moaned and wiggled beneath his ministrations. She sighed and smiled her appreciation at him. She cupped his face and pulled him down for a soft, full kiss. “Well, I guess that settles that,” he said. “Settles what?” she murmured sleepily. “You definitely have a taste for BDSM.” She blinked up at him, a blush staining her cheeks. “It seems so.” “But,” Alec said, wrapping his arm around her from the other side. “You do realize you’re in trouble, right? And you got me in trouble, too.” “Huh?” She had no idea what he was talking about. Kade grinned darkly and tweaked her nipple hard. “Yep. You both came without permission.”

Chapter 11 Alec opened the door to the brownstone, tossed his keys and wallet on the entry table, and stretched. His back and ass were tender, but felt damn good. It had been much too long since Kade had even attempted a session with him. “What do you think?” he asked Kade. “I think she enjoyed the hell out of herself, that’s what I think.” Alec wasn’t quite as smug as Kade, but he did have the same feeling. Something quite close to euphoria enveloped him. “Yeah, it was good.” He leaned in and kissed the other man, cupping his shoulder to pull him closer. “You were good.” Kade’s hand wrapped in his hair and tugged backward. He quirked one dark brow, lip lifted in a half snarl. “I enjoyed fucking you again, Alec. But not nearly as much as I enjoyed whipping you. We won’t go so long in between sessions again, I promise you that.” His hold gave and Alec grinned, knowing he was all show. “You came hard, man.” Kade returned the smile. “Yeah, I did. You still have a tight ass. Even after all this time.” He kissed him again before heading for the living room. “So, what do you have in store for tomorrow?” Alec’s pulse immediately ratcheted higher. “Well, since you went all hard and Dom on us tonight, I figure it’ll be the perfect time for a little romance, a little candlelight, and a lot of foreplay.” Kade lifted his whisky glass in salute, an approving smile on his face. “Reel her in and trap her good.” He frowned back. “I’m not trying to trap her, Kade, we’re trying to show her what it will be like between the three of us.”

“Turn of phrase, nothing more. I have faith that we will seal the deal.” Alec grunted. “Sorry, bit tense at the moment. Got a lot riding on tomorrow.” Kade set his glass on the mantel, glided over to him, and held out his hand. “Come on, I know how we can work out those kinks.” **** Fi shifted the box of baked goodies in her arm and knocked on Alec and Kade’s door. It opened almost instantly and Alec smiled down at her. “Hi, darlin’, glad you could make it.” He leaned down, kissed her cheek, and took the box from her. “Come in,” he said, stepping aside. Fi looked up at him quizzically as she passed into the foyer. “Did you think I wouldn’t come?” “Well, it crossed my mind.” She unwrapped her scarf, unbuttoned her coat, and slid her pink, fuzzy hat from her head, smoothing down the wayward hairs caused by static electricity. Her mind raced and whirled. He was nervous? But why? “Well, I’m here now,” she finally said, smiling brightly. Was it just her, or was there a sense of awkwardness in the air? Alec huffed out a deep breath. “Yeah, hell yeah you are.” His smile grew bigger and his eyes brightened. Fi relaxed. “So, what did you bring us?” She set her outer garments on the bench and looked down the hallway. “Show me to the kitchen?” “This way.” Alec nudged by her, stooping for another gentle kiss. She sighed at the small intimacy. How natural that felt. And damn, did he smell good. Sandalwood mixed with musk. His masculine aroma made every part of her body tense in appreciation.

She followed him into a huge kitchen, brightly lit and scattered with all sorts of cooking apparatus. Fi knew she was gaping, couldn’t quite control the avaricious stare as she took in their state-of-the-art kitchen. Double oven, huge granite island, stainless steel appliances, a set of knives that had her drooling from across the room, and enough custom cabinetry to make any woman weep. “Wow,” she said. “This is fantastic. You have everything. Everything.” Fi moved to a granite counter, bending to peer at a royal-blue stand mixer. Next to it was a high-end food processor, also the same shade of blue. “We have lots more toys to play with, Fi,” he said, a chuckle in his voice. She winked at him. “Of course. But down here, this is like heaven. So, do you both cook?” “I do,” Alec said. “Kade just eats. But he’s most appreciative.” “That I am,” Kade’s deep voice agreed as he walked into the room. He popped a kiss on the top of her head, swatted her butt with familiar playfulness, and headed for Alec. He nudged him gently aside and peered into the bag. “What’s this?” “Goodies I baked,” Fi said, moving next to them. She took the bag from Alec and started unloading it. “I didn’t know what you liked, so I brought a little of everything. Monkey bread, chocolate chip cookies, chicken and dumplings, pizza dough, a pork loin that is marinating in rosemary and garlic.” She stopped, flushing and looking up at them. “I, uh, figured we were gonna be hungry.” Kade laughed and hugged her tight. “Safe bet there, little one.” She joined in his amusement, realizing how insanely comfortable she felt with the two of them. Like they’d been together all their lives. Was this real? Something must have shown on her face. “Fi?” Alec said. “You okay?” She cleared her throat. “Yeah. Yeah, I am.”

“Then what was that look about?” He took the empty bag from her then clasped her hands. “We’re open here, lass. No secrets and no harboring fears or resentments or any emotion. We can’t read your mind, you know.” Fi looked from one to the other. Honesty, huh? Should she? Was it wise? But really, what other choice did she have? “Well, all right. If you’re sure?” “We are,” they said together. “I talk better with wine,” she said hopefully. Kade chuckled. “Just don’t get sloshed. I’ll put this up and pour you some blush. How’s that?” “Sounds good.” “Mm, good cookies,” Alec muttered around a mouthful. “Your wine, my lady.” “Thank you, both of you.” Fi took a sip, propped a hip against the counter, and eyed both of them. “All right, so, honesty, huh?” Kade’s lips tightened and Alec swallowed hard. They exchanged a sharp glance before Kade nodded. “Always, Fi,” he said fiercely. She took another sip. “I’m a little scared. Okay, a lot scared.” “Of what?” “This whole situation, Alec. It’s different, you know. I was with my husband for years and never thought of another man. Now, I have the opportunity to have two?” “Yes,” they said in unison. She shook her head. “But for how long? Am I a novelty? You said I was different from anyone you had before. What if it’s just a phase?” Alec slipped his arm around her, pulling her to him in a gentle hug. “These are questions we’ve asked ourselves endlessly, Fi.” “What was your answer?” Kade anchored himself to her other side. “That we know exactly what we want. For the rest of our lives, and that is you.” He stroked

her arm, tangled their fingers. “You make us feel alive, Fi. Give us hope.” Her heart swelled. “Really?” “Really.” She bit her lip. “That’s good to hear,” she said. “But it doesn’t quite alleviate all my concerns.” Alec caressed her back. “Tell us.” She downed a larger drink of wine, closed her eyes, and sought the words. “I’m the jealous type,” she confessed guiltily. “I don’t do well with other women.” She stopped, shrugged, and continued. “Or men, honing in on my territory.” A vibe hummed between Alec and Kade, trapping her in its electricity. “Good,” Kade growled. “’Cause we don’t either.” “But your job,” she said, trying to explain. “I don’t know if I can handle it. Yeah, the sex with us is great. Awesome, even. And being with the two of you is phenomenal. A fantasy come true, you might say. Even if I didn’t know it was one I had. I love watching the two of you together, too. But that’s it. Just us three. No one else.” Alec shoved away from the counter, took her glass, and set it on the counter. “We meet with the Council again in a few weeks, Fi. In the meantime, let’s enjoy and explore what we have.” He tugged at her and she followed him willingly. “But—” “No buts at the moment, little one,” Kade admonished. “Tonight is about proving we are compatible in ways beyond a job, beyond BDSM. Just the three of us,” Alec said. “We’re going to make love to you and each other tonight, Fi.” Her whole body infused with anticipation. “That sounds heavenly. And it’s not a but, just a question.” “Which is?” “Why does this one night matter so much?” “Because,” Alec said, leading the way up the stairs. “It’s raw emotion. No tricks, no toys, no rules.”

107
“It’ll be pure,” Kade added. “And if, when we’re done, any of us don’t feel it’s right, then we walk away, no questions asked.” Fi stumbled on the stair. Kade’s strong hand steadied her behind. She looked down at him, fingers tight around the banister, words tumbling without thought or censure. “No questions, but plenty of hurt.” He smiled. “Trust us, Fi.” Glance sweeping between both men, she fought away the urge to run now and escape any possible hurt. But she knew it was too late. She was already in. Fi drew in a breath, returned his smile, and resumed walking. “Let’s get freaky.” **** This time when Fi walked into the large master bedroom, it felt different. Now she wasn’t a woman consumed by an insane compulsion to fuck, no matter where or who, but one on the verge of possibly finding the most contentment she’d ever had in her life. Happiness only barely tinged with fear zinged through her. As before, she glanced around the room, still marveling at its beauty. Alec and Kade had taken even greater pains with it today, though. Several groups of flickering candles in varying sizes littered the room, filling it with the soft, sensual scent of sandalwood. She inhaled deeply in appreciation. A vase of red and pink roses graced the bedside table, along with a tray containing a pitcher of ice water and three glasses. Lush, neatly folded towels were stacked on the open shelf below. Light, symphonic music piped in the room from hidden speakers. Warm, masculine hands cupped her shoulders, thumbs rubbing with light pressure. She tipped her head to the left, grazing the back of his hand with her cheek. “Alec,” she said softly. “How did you know it was me?” He turned her around.
108

She ran her palm down his freshly shaved face, her own thumb sliding across his full bottom lip. “I just knew.” Her gaze flicked to Kade and she lifted a hand, beckoning him forward. Fi caressed his jaw, too. “As strange as it seems, I know your individual touches. Your smells, your tastes.” She grinned impishly. “You could blindfold me and I’m fairly certain I could tell you apart.” Kade sucked in a sharp breath, nipping at her fingers. “I like the sound of that, Fi.” “Which part? Blindfolding or knowing?” “Yes.” “That’s very good, Fi,” Alec murmured. “Works both ways, too.” Kade caressed Alec’s forearm with obvious affection. That, too, warmed Fi’s heart. Oddly enough, instead of being off-putting or making her feel like an awkward third party, it touched her deeply. Included her. Alec shifted from her shoulders, casually flicking open the buttons of her pink shirt. He pushed it from her shoulders and the fabric fluttered to the sleek rug beneath her feet. Kade picked up where Alec left off, kneeling in front of her, circling her waist, and pressing his face to her stomach, nuzzling softly. She ruffled his dark hair. He made quick work of the buttons on her jeans, sliding them down her legs to her ankles. “Well, hell,” he muttered, humor underlying the words. She looked down and immediately saw the problem. She was still wearing her tennis shoes. Again, laughter filled the room. Alec joined Kade on his knees, unlaced her shoes, and slid them off, and the jeans swiftly followed. Before they could rise, Fi threaded her fingers in their hair. Clad only in her bra and panties, legs slightly spread, and desire churning

through her, she stared down at them, a sense of power mingling with joy. “Damn,” she whispered. “I can’t imagine a more perfect night.” She leaned down and kissed them both. Long, lingering kisses infused with as much emotion as she could stuff them with. When she straightened again, she backed toward the bed, crooking her finger. “Come and get me, boys.” Kade stood effortlessly, like a mythic god rising from the sea. He reached down and lifted Alec up. Alec gave him a baleful stare. “I had it, you know.” Kade cuffed him playfully. “Sorry, guess I’m just in a hurry.” Their banter was light and refreshing. Quite a difference from the dark intensity of the night before. But Fi realized the level of desire, of need, had not diminished at all. If anything, it had grown stronger. “Take your clothes off and come to bed,” she demanded, patting the mattress on either side of her. Alec grinned, already half-naked. “Impatient wench.” Fi notched a brow. “Problem?” The bed dipped as he knelt, naked, hard, and intent on her. “Hell, no.” He covered her, pressing her back to the bed, laving kisses along her collarbone, raising goose bumps. She curled her fingers in his hair, scraping the sensitive spot at the base of his neck. Alec gasped, head rearing back in appreciation. Again the bed shifted as Kade joined them on her right. “Starting without me?” “You’re slow,” Fi said. He growled, easing his hand under her back, unfastening her bra with one efficient motion. Then he slid between Alec’s body and hers, tugged the bra off, and covered her breast and squeezed. She arched, filling his palm even more, eyes fluttering closed. He was strong and hot on her skin; Fi reveled in the feel.

Soft lips brushed hers, followed by the tickling, wet slide of Alec’s tongue. She moaned as she opened her mouth, allowing him entrance, tapping the tip of his tongue with hers. Kade slipped from her breast, fingernails scraping her hips sensuously as he tugged her panties off. The candles flared and sandalwood flooded over them, coupling with the musk of their arousal. Fi greedily sucked the aroma into her lungs. Kade’s hands were strong and insistent on her thighs as he spread her apart. Cool air hit the super-heated flesh of her pussy and she groaned, again lifting her hips. “Do you like having your cunt sucked now, Fi?” he murmured, his breath hot and cresting her mound. She wrenched her mouth from Alec’s long enough to look down and nod. Kade winked. “Good, ’cause I plan on making you come hard with just my mouth.” A stream of juice flooded her at his words. Visions of his tongue snaking in and out of her pussy like a throbbing, writhing cock assaulted her. Alec reclaimed her mouth, his hands now molding and squeezing her breasts. Kade’s fingers spread along her inner thighs, pushing into the supple skin. She jumped then groaned. He hooked his thumbs into the sweet moistness of her outer lips and tugged outward, baring her needy, deep red pussy to his gaze. She squirmed beneath the heat of his stare, wondering what he saw, what he thought of it. “Beautiful,” his voice floated up, tone near reverent. More goose bumps rose at his words and she sighed happily. Fi nipped at Alec’s lip, hands running over his toned back, grappling with his tight ass. Kade’s words made her feel invincible. Treasured. Alec pulled back and knelt beside her, hands on his thighs. He, too, swept her body with a flesh-searing gaze that raised her need

even more. She reached out a hand, sliding her fingers around his turgid cock. His nostrils flared in appreciation. She tugged. “Closer,” she said softly. He moved to her head, one hand propped against the headboard, the other resting on her collarbone as he offered her his cock. Fi stroked it, increasing the pressure of each pass until his breath hissed in and out in rhythm. She was so intent on him she wasn’t quite prepared for the searing heat of Kade’s tongue as he fitted his mouth to her pussy. She gasped and arched, fingers tightening around Alec’s cock. He echoed her deep groan. “Christ.” His face was tense, the sharp muscles of his jaw pulsing in time with the beat of his heart as it throbbed along her fingers. Kade pushed her thighs wider apart, settling more of his weight on the bed. With his index fingers, he moved aside the sensitive bit of skin covering her clit, blowing warm air over it as he exposed it. She jerked. Alec caressed her cheek. “Feels good, doesn’t it lass? Him down there, staring at your pretty pussy. My cock in your hands, my body ready to please you and be pleased by you.” “Yes,” she said, the only answer possible. “But I want more.” “More?” “Mm-hmm. I want to taste you again.” He smiled as he pushed closer, but she shook her head. “No.” Fi bit her lip, hesitating only a second. She wasn’t embarrassed about what she wanted, but she didn’t know how Kade would feel about having Alec’s ass basically in his face. To hell with it, she decided. “Straddle my chest,” she said, cupping her breasts and offering them up. “I want to feel you on top of me, like before. Want to take as much of you down my throat as I can.” Alec shared a glance with Kade then grinned at Fi. He threw his leg over her torso, kneeling above her. He took her hands and raised

them above her head. “Just for a moment,” he said when she protested. Alec then scooted further onto her body, his ass and thighs riding her ribs. His balls were tight and his cock granite hard as he slid into place between the fullness of her tits. His knees edged her upraised elbows and his dick bobbed wildly on her lips. “Open up, Fi.” She slithered and writhed, breath hitching in and out. She nodded, feeling the surging bond flowing between the three of them. Soul deep and heart tight, she absolutely knew these were the men for her. Making a tight pucker of her lips, she inhaled and took his cock in her mouth. At the same moment, Kade slowly slid his tongue along her clit as if mimicking her actions. She squinched her eyes closed, trying hard to concentrate on pleasuring Alec while luxuriating in Kade’s excellent pussy-sucking skills. It was not an easy task. Alec leaned forward, serving her more of his cock. He loved the way her brows furrowed and her mouth stretched around his shaft. He looked over his shoulder, catching only the bob and duck of Kade’s dark hair as he pleasured Fi with his mouth. He turned back to her, lifted up slightly, and released her tits from beneath his butt. They popped out and between his legs. Alec resettled himself, molding her breasts and pumping his hips. His own eyes drifted shut as her magic mouth worked him. The head of his cock bumped the back of her throat, slipping past that tight ring of muscles. “Holy fuck,” he groaned as her throat clamped down on him. She bucked and he withdrew immediately, concerned as she coughed and sputtered. “I’m okay,” she said, waving away his concern. Her hands encircled him again, pulling him back to her mouth. “I wanna do that again. I love how deep you went.”

He swelled in her hands and her eyes widened, meeting his. “Wow.” “Yeah, well, that’s not something you learn right away, Fi. Takes lots of practice.” She pouted, rubbing her soft, wet bottom lip along the sensitive underside of his glans. He sucked in a breath. “I didn’t say we couldn’t practice, just that throat fucking is a feat not easily mastered.” Fi’s mouth opened even as her eyes slammed shut and her body bucked. Kade obviously hit just the right spot. Short, harsh pants of air escaped her, along with mutterings of damn, fuck, damn. Her fingers alternated between squeezing and releasing on his cock, which drew his orgasm even closer. “Put my cock back in your mouth, Fi,” he ordered. She did, her front teeth lightly scraping the top of his engorged head. “Oh, damn, fuck.” He repeated her mantra as cum boiled in his balls. Suddenly, her body softened and relaxed, and Kade nipped at his ass before settling on one elbow beside them. His face was shiny with her juices. The sweet, musky smell nearly drove Alec mad. He wanted to taste her. He leaned down and kissed Kade softly, savoring both of them. His cock surged once more. Fi worked the base of his shaft, pulling up when her mouth slid down and going down when she pulled back. At the top of each stroke, she flipped the edge of his circumcised cock head, eliciting a groan each time. Cum rippled through his dick as he neared orgasm. She clamped down with her mouth, creating a vacuum he couldn’t resist. With long, fast strokes and deep, strong suction, she bobbed and worked on him. “Damn, woman, you’re gonna make me come.”

Her eyes widened and he swore he heard her lilting, laughing duh! She sucked hard, squeezing at the same time, and he growled, held her head, and slammed himself as far into her mouth as he dared. “God, Fi, I’m coming. Take my cum, baby, drink it.” His hips jerked as he spurted, a ragged, harsh breath following each one. Her mouth continued its incredible sucking, tongue laving the ubersensitive head of his cock until she’d milked the very last drop from him. Her touch lightened, turning to an appreciative caress. Gentle, nurturing. Legs and arms shaky, he pulled from her mouth with a loud pop then collapsed on the bed beside her. “Holy crap, Fi. Holy crap.” Kade looked at the two of them, both panting from their orgasms. His chest pinched tight and his throat closed up with emotion. Hell, had he been fooling himself by even wondering if this was real? If their threesome would last forever? If the emotion choking him now was indication, it was a strong yes. Fi and Alec were his. Just as he belonged to them. He swallowed past the unexpected lump, zooming in on Alec’s deflated cock. Tenderly, he reached for him, stroking the still-heated flesh. Alec groaned and Fi perked up, pushing to her elbow, eyes wide and vibrant with interest. Kade wondered if he still had the power to rejuvenate Alec, seeing as how they were temporarily off the Council’s job roster. He tightened his palm around the base, feeling it stiffen. He shot Alec a grin. Yep, he still had it. Idly, he stroked up and down, thumb gliding across the head, hitching every now and then, eliciting both groans and sighs of appreciation from Alec. “You want me to get you ready again?” He cut his eyes to Fi. “I believe we have one more delightful experiment to try with Fi.” Her brow lifted and she returned a sultry, confident smile. “Yeah? Like what? I think I’ve taken just about all you boys have dished out, haven’t I?”

She stretched, sexy and feline, arching her back and thrusting her tits temptingly in the air. Alec latched on to her left nipple and tweaked. Hard. She squeaked, flattening on the bed, but didn’t ask him to let go. “Well, you’ve had me, you’ve had Kade, but you haven’t had us both at the same time, Fi.” He left her to ponder that on her breathless inhalation and looked at Kade. “Get me ready.” Beneath his palm, Alec lost count of the rapid beats of her heart. He glanced at her, elated to find her even more excited than just a moment ago. She really was perfect for them. Hopefully, she was beginning to realize it, too. As well as the fact that they were perfect for her. Kade’s mouth slipped over his cock, shunting out all coherent thought. Instant heat enveloped him, and a surge of need poured past the fatigue. He stiffened, becoming even more rigid as Kade sucked and licked, bringing him back fully to erection. Once more all the nerves in the head of his cock were at attention and eager to slide into her pussy. Or ass. Or Kade’s. Anywhere. He just wanted, no needed, to fuck one of these special people. He laid back on the bed, thrusting his hips into his partner’s mouth, eyes drifting shut, just enjoying the wet heat. Damn, it felt good. So good. Kade pulled away with a chuckle and a light slap. “Save it for Fi, Alec.” “Hell, this is my show, Kade, remember?” Alec grumbled. His partner winked. “I’m not Domming here, just ready to sink my cock into Fi’s luscious hole.” They both looked at her and Alec laughed. She was sitting up, legs sprawled wide, fingers rapidly thrumming her clit, mouth hung open. Her hand slowed and she met his gaze. “I love seeing his mouth on your cock, you know.”

“I know. But”—he tapped her hip—“we want something a bit more, Fi. Come here.” Alec slid to the edge of the bed, pulling her until her lean legs dangled over the edge. He knelt between her thighs, pushing them further apart, inhaling deeply her musky arousal. He licked his lips. Kade dropped to the floor beside him, his hand caressing the inside of her thigh. She looked between them. “What’s going on?” He shared a look with Kade. “We want you.” She nodded, stroking his hair. “And I want you two, as well.” Alec cleared his throat. “Have you ever been DP’d?” “Uh, what’s that?” “Double penetration.” “No,” she nearly yelped. “I’ve only ever been with one guy at a time before.” Her uncertainty was palpable and damn adorable. Alec smiled. “That’s a good thing, baby, trust me.” He nudged Kade with his shoulder. “Your first time will be with us.” He cocked his head. “That is, if you want it.” Fi felt as if her entire body would combust at the slightest touch or breath. Want it? Hell yeah, she wanted it. She twitched on the bed, both her ass and pussy clenching at the mental image she was seeing—both holes stuffed, stretched, filled. “Oh, God,” she whimpered. Kade patted her knee. “You don’t have to.” “No,” she yelled, gripping his hair. Hard. “I. Want. It.” “Okay, okay, easy on the follicles.” Kade tapped her fingers. “Good thing it’s Alec’s day. You’d be strung up and caned for that one. Or maybe tossed over my knee, anal plug in your ass, and beat ’til you begged for me to stop. And fuck you.” “Damn, you don’t play fair.” Kade’s smile was pure sensual arrogance. “Hell, no. Where’s the fun in that?” He turned to his friend. “Okay, Alec, this is your show. What do you want from us?”

Alec studied her and she squirmed under his melting, hot gaze. “You’ve never played with two toys at once, either?” “Nope.” He sucked in a deep breath, and she could tell he was tamping his excitement. The way his cock swelled at her response amped up her anticipation. “We’re gonna need more lube.” He stood and Kade followed. Alec quickly pulled together a bottle of lube and two towels. “Lift your butt,” he said, and she did, giggling as the back of his fingers grazed her buttocks. “Oh, ticklish, are you?” Kade’s question was full of interest. She eyed him nervously. “Maybe.” “Brat.” “Definitely.” Alec flipped open the bottle, pouring a generous amount over his fingers, stood between her legs, and started dipping his hand between her ass cheeks, seeking her tight entrance. Fi sighed in delight, letting her head fall backward. She eased down onto her elbows and spread her legs, allowing him greater access. His fingers slipped and slid over and around her hole, lubing her up before one dipped in. It felt damn good. Like the afterglow of orgasm. Alec used slow, steady strokes, twisting his finger this way and that. Her hips began to undulate and she bit her lip. “Another one,” he murmured, and she felt a slight burn as he added another finger to her ass. “Ah.” She sucked in air, thighs tightening in response. Kade was suddenly at her side, cupping her face. “Breathe, little one.” He stroked her neck, big hand meandering down to her tits where he fondled and caressed her. “Just getting you loosened up, you know?’ “Yes,” she whispered. Their care and concern made her heart thump even harder.

Alec’s fingers picked up speed, widening to a vee as he slid them out, closing to go back in. She writhed, already close to coming. “Let it go, Fi,” Kade whispered. “Come as hard as you want. Feel his fingers inside of your ass? Feel how it tingles and stretches you?” She whimpered, both visualizing and feeling at the same time. She couldn’t hold back and jerked her hips upward, straining hard as she came. “Fuck, fuck, fuck,” she yelled with each pulse. Kade chuckled. “That’s not even the half of it, little one.” Alec pulled his fingers out and stood. She managed to drag her eyes open. His face was a dark mask of lust and tenderness. A bolt of need hit her. “Fuck me,” she said, looking between the two of them. “I want your cocks in me. Please.” Both men broke into tight smiles. “Since Kade has his piercing, he’ll take your pussy.” She undulated again. Alec slid onto the bed, scooting to lean against the padded headboard. “Come here, Fi.” She turned and crawled next to him, kneeling, uncertain what to do next. Kade settled on the other side of the bed. Alec picked up the lube and handed it to her. “Grease my cock. I want it hard and stiff before I fuck your ass.” The coarse, dirty words plucked once more at her pussy and she eagerly drizzled the clear liquid over his already surging dick. Up and down, with slow, firm strokes, Fi covered his cock, squeezing the tip, sliding back to the base and up again. He was wonderfully hot between her fingers and his cum roiled and pulsed along the shaft, beating at her palm. His jaw clenched as he thrust into her hand. Kade reclined on the bed next to Alec. He reached across his chest and caressed her shoulder, raising goose bumps. His fingers dropped to Alec’s chest. He plucked a nipple, pulling the flesh up high and tight until Fi was positive Alec would cry out. But the double

stimulation seemed only to make him harder. His cock swelled in her hand. “Enough,” Kade finally ordered. “We don’t want him coming just yet. Fi, straddle my hips.” She looked at the two of them lying there, waiting for her. Both taut bodies strained toward her, impatience and lust in each pulse. Though wildly different in temperament and approach, they were identical in their desires. Kade, dark and mysterious, regarded her with his hooded eyes, his own fingers stroking his cock. He fondled his piercing, inhaling sharply as she watched. “Even though we can’t hear your thoughts anymore, Fi, we know you. Know you like to watch. That you want us. Want to be with us.” His voice was uncompromising. A statement of fact, as far as he was concerned. Her gaze slipped to Alec, her fair-haired, gentle lover. He, too, caressed his erection, and his eyes were just as intense as his partner’s. “Have you any idea how much I want to be inside of you? How much I want to feel you stretch around me?” He flicked a glance at Kade. “How much I want both of us to invade and dominate your body? Together. He’s right, Fi. Do you deny it?” Fi sat back on her heels, hands on her thighs, and shook her head. She smiled. “No, I don’t deny it. I couldn’t. So,” she said, looking from one to the other. “How is this going to work?” Tension she hadn’t realized was in Alec’s shoulders drained away and he returned her grin and fingered the outside of her ass. “You’re going to sit on Kade’s cock, take it deep as you can. Then, I will slide into your ass.” The two dicks inside her would make her very full, very stretched out. She got all juicy again. Well, technically, she’d never quit. Her thighs and pussy were still slick with her cum. “Come here, little Fi. I want my cock inside you. Now.”

Alec shifted, making room for her between them, and she scrambled over him. She looked at Kade’s hard dick, mouth watering. Maybe a quick lick? “No,” Kade said firmly. “Come on, Fi, sit on my dick. Show me how deep you can take it.” She complied, suddenly eager to be filled past maximum. Fi straddled Kade, lowered her dripping pussy to his hardness, and slid up and down, wetting him further. He allowed her a few swipes then smacked her hip. “Up.” She raised her hips and he reached down, fitted the bulbous head of his cock to her wet hole, and slowly pushed in. She sank down at the same time, groaning in appreciation. Shivers sped through her pussy, setting off mini sparks of orgasm. She could feel his piercing and each ridge and vein of his dick as he filled her. She gasped, head rearing back as he fully seated himself. Kade gripped her hips, moving her back and forth lightly. “Come down here,” he whispered. She pressed her chest to his, felt his hands pushing her thighs out further. Kade kissed her fiercely, his eyes hot and demanding. “I love fucking you,” he growled softly in her ear. “Love how you grip me with your muscles as if you’re trying to suck me deep inside you.” Fi cupped his face, ran her thumb over his cheek, and kissed him back. “The feeling is mutual. I want to keep you forever.” His dick spasmed and swelled within her and she gasped, then had no time to process his reaction as Alec’s gentle hands cupped her ass, pulling her cheeks apart. Cool night air wafted along her cleft, nipping her exposed asshole. She whimpered and dropped her head to Kade’s shoulder. She heard the snap of the lube lid once, twice, then slow, languid drops of coolness assaulted her ass. Alec’s finger rubbed lightly, easily pushed inward. Another finger. Fi wondered if she should feel embarrassed at how quickly her ass accepted his invasion, but found she only craved more.

“Fill my ass,” Fi said as she lifted her head and strained to see Alec over her shoulder. “I need you both inside of me. Right fucking now.” Alec grunted as he fitted the head of his cock to her well-oiled hole. “Lift your hips a bit.” She did and gasped as he split her open. A burning pain seared her ass. He held himself there for a moment, pulled back, moved forward. Each movement sent a brain wave of pleasure and pain through her. She didn’t know whether to come or cry. Kade shifted his hips, and her pussy suddenly took center stage. “Relax your ass,” he murmured. She nodded and concentrated on not tensing up. “Ah, that’s good, Fi,” Alec said from behind her. The ring of pain grew intense and she didn’t know if she could take it, but was damn determined not to stop it. She needed their cocks in her with a wildness that far outstripped anything the Goddess had ever created within her. “Do it,” she growled. Alec’s fingers dug into her hips as Kade cupped and squeezed her tits. Alec pushed and the head of his cock slid past the tight ring of her sphincter, the muscle snapping hard around the base of his shaft. “Holy fuck,” Fi moaned. Alec continued to sink into her until his balls brushed her butt. They froze in that tableau, Fi half-afraid to move. It felt incredible, better than she’d even fantasized. Beyond the throbbing pulse of their dicks inside of her, Fi was overwhelmed by the emotional bond surging around and through them. They were intertwined through flesh and heart, meshed together so seamlessly she didn’t know where she ended and either of them began. Kade bucked his hips gently, stirring her insides. Alec pulled back until the head of his cock tugged at her asshole. Kade surged deep into her pussy again, retreated, and waited for Alec to fill her ass.

They picked up the rhythm then the pace, filling her faster and deeper. Sandwiched between them, Fi could only hang on to Kade’s broad shoulders and cry out her pleasure. All sense of logical thinking left her, and she was one giant ball of sensation. Everything went through her pussy and ass, pleasure bit her over and over. Alec pulsed hard into her ass, his palm slapping her buttocks, and she screamed, grinding her clit onto Kade’s pubic bone as she came. Again. “Oh fuck. Kade, Alec. It’s so, damn. So good.” Kade’s hands palmed her face as he continued to thrust into her. “What do you want, Fi?” She forced her eyes open. “What?” Alec leaned onto her back, hips slamming against hers. “What do you want? Tell us.” The pace grew frenzied and erratic, as did her pulse. A dizzying sense of fear assailed her then suddenly burst apart in a moment of absolute clarity. She gasped, focused on Kade’s demanding amber gaze, and smiled as she pushed and pulled herself on their hard dicks. “You,” she said loudly. “I want you.” “Which one?” “Both of you, damn it. I want you both.” Kade grinned wolfishly, slammed into her body hard, and stilled. Inside her ass, Alec followed suit. “Forever?” Alec whispered softly in her ear. She knew the answer without even thinking about it. This was right. It was good. It was fucking fantastic. “Yes. Forever.” They released her, both withdrawing then surging back into her holes at the same instant. Fi’s pussy and ass contracted on their hard cocks and she wailed as she came, giving over every piece of herself to them. Only them. “Forever, Fi,” Kade repeated, jaw clenching. “Aw, fuck, take it.” He arched high, his piercing rubbing the deepest part of her pussy.

Then a huge flood of warmth flooded her and she gasped, his orgasm immediately causing her to come again. “Forever,” Alec echoed. “I’m coming,” he shouted and seated deep within her ass. She could feel both of them at once, rubbing against her and each other. Then Alec’s hot cum swept through her ass. One more final, deep orgasm pulsed through Fi. Her body bucked and writhed with the force of it. Her vision dimmed and her lungs constricted. Finally, she collapsed on Kade’s chest, sucking for air. His arms banded tight around her. Alec’s strong grip soon followed as they cuddled her between them. Fi felt cherished and loved and wanted. Things she hadn’t felt in so many years. She found herself shivering and holding back unexpected, inexplicable tears. She sniffed, ducking her head once more into Kade’s hard shoulder. Alec slowly pulled out of her ass and she hiccupped a groan at the release. Though he’d just assaulted her beautifully, she already wanted him again. He settled onto the bed and tugged her off of Kade, whose dick slipped wetly from her body. Alec turned her to face him, stroking away her tears. “Why are you crying?” Kade folded his body along the curve of hers. She was again enveloped between them. This time, though, only concern and care emanated. Her mind whirled with thoughts and answers, none of which seemed right. Or wrong. “Because,” she said on another hiccup. “Because I know now.” “Know what?” She inhaled shakily. “I love you.” Her hand reached behind to touch Kade. He snuggled closer. “Both of you.”

Alec smiled gently, pushing away a strand of sweat-soaked hair. “Good,” he said. “Because we love you, too.” “You do?” “Yes, and we’re not letting you go.” “You’re ours, Fi,” Kade confirmed. She sighed, suddenly exhausted and yet filled with energy. “Good, that’s just where I want to be.” Alec moved away briefly and she protested, eyes dipping as sleep threatened. “Sh, just getting a blanket.” He pulled the light covering up and over them and sighed. Fi struggled to keep her eyes open. “Rest, Fi,” Alec murmured. “We’ll be here when you wake up.” “Hmm,” she managed. The air suddenly crackled and hissed and she sat up, dread filling her. She knew that sound. Fi desperately searched the room, gaze bouncing from door to chair to bathroom door. Alec and Kade also sat up, tension returning. Finally, near the desk, the air glimmered and shifted as the Goddess appeared. She didn’t say anything and Fi clutched at the men’s hands. “What do you want now?” The fully formed figure glided toward the bed, both amusement and annoyance on her face. “Still have an attitude, I see.” Fi wisely remained silent. “Ah, but gaining some control.” She flicked an approving glance at Kade. “Good job.” He nodded but said nothing. The Goddess put her hands on her hips and regarded them solemnly. “Fi McGantry, do you remember our first meeting?” As if she could ever forget it. “Yes.” “You were wrong, weren’t you?” Fi gritted her teeth. “About what?”

The Goddess smirked. “You said, and I quote, darling, ‘There is not a single man on earth I want. Not one.’ Correct?” She remembered that incident very well. But why was she bringing it up now? “Yes,” she said. The Goddess folded her arms, stared at Kade, then swiveled her head to look at Alec. “Well, aren’t you pleased?” Her beautiful face softened and she chuckled. “I gave you exactly what you asked for. Two men, not one.” Fi suddenly understood and burst into laughter. She scrambled from the bed, threw her arms around the Goddess, and squeezed tight. “Thank you,” she whispered. “For both of them.” The Goddess returned her hug before gently setting her aside. “I believe my work here is done, then. Gentlemen, I shall put a good word in for you with the Council.” She raised a brow. “That is, if you want me to?” Fi bit her lip, gaze bouncing between her men. Kade’s arm slid around her shoulder, Alec firmly on the other side. “No,” he said. “We found what we want here.” Fi sighed happily, relaxing into their shelter. “Forever.”
