“Let’s go upstairs and get some rest.” Eero took my hand and brought it to his lips. “Then none of us has to be lonely again.”
“That’s the best offer I’ve ever had.” They closed in around me and guided me out of the kitchen and toward the stairs. “Just sleeping?”
“Just whatever you want.” Shay took my other hand and rubbed the back of it against his cheek. “Whenever you want.”
When we got upstairs, they all stripped down to their undershorts and joined me in the big bed. It didn’t feel crowded at all, even though they thoroughly filled it. Cozy, warm, and I kissed each of them good night, once then twice, and then couldn’t stop myself from touching them. Arms. Shoulders. Chests. Stroking Zyon’s soft fur and feeling his tusks. Kissing them all again.
Finally Shay groaned and said, “If we’re going to just sleep, we’d better get to it. We’re notonlyhuman, but we are all male.”
Chapter Twenty-Three
Shay
“What if I don’t want to just sleep?” Opal asked.
We’d held back since she got here, not rushing our mate, letting her figure out for herself if she wanted to be with us, but lying here together while she touched and petted and patted us, kissed us…she definitely was sending a message. One we needed to get clarified before things got out of control. “What are you saying, Opal?”
“That I want everything. I’ve only ever been with one person once, and that was a mistake that I used to avoid anyone else ever since. But I know I want you, all of you.”
“And you want to stay here with us, to make a life together because when we mate you, we want to mark you as well. We want you forever.”
She lay back and held out her arms. “That’s exactly how long I want all of you. I don’t know how it happened so fast, how you made me able to get past the past, but you have. And now I want to hurry into the future and see what it has to offer. I’ve been stuck—or maybe I was just waiting for you.”
Until now, we’d been lying pretty quiet and letting her have the reins, but now that she’d handed them to us, there was no holding back. I kissed her before letting my lips trail down her throat and begin an exploration I planned to spend the rest of my life enjoying. Her skin was satin under my lips, her moans and cries of pleasure the only music I would ever need to hear. I was vaguely aware of the rest of the fury also there, also kissing and caressing our mate, but it was as if I was alone with her at the same time, just loving on her and doing my best to make her feel how much I cared.
I slid down to the foot of the bed and lifted her legs, parting them and burying my face between them. She cried out, digging her fingers into my scalp and shuddering. Lapping at the pearl, I sought to bring her to her first orgasm of the night, and I didn’t have long to wait. No sooner had I inserted one finger in her very tight channel than she shrieked and arched her back, coming in my mouth.
Rising on my knees, I glanced at the others who both nodded before fitting my head into her and driving in deep, but slow. If she hadn’t said she’d been with one other person once, I’d have said she was a virgin. And, as far as we were concerned, we all were because only with a mate was it true lovemaking.
I pumped in and pulled almost all the way out, slowly at first then faster and faster, her body seeming to draw me in and try to hold me there, the suction incredible, muscles rippling over my driving cock until I could no longer keep from pouring my cum into her. I held there, bending over her to sink my fangs into the side of her throat. My mouth filled with the taste of copper before I lapped at the wound to close it then eased out and made room for Eero.
Each of us in turn filled her body and marked her throat or shoulder. My wolf friend was fast start to finish, while Zyon and I continued to caress our mate, sucking her breasts and kissing her lips.
When Eero joined me at her side, the orc took his place. He kissed her belly and planted another one on her mound then paused to gaze fondly down at her. Our friend was in love, which worked out since so were both of us. Fate must have been in a very kind mood when she planned this mating. I never wanted to stop touching and caressing Opal. It was going to be a challenge at work to keep the PDA to minimum. Shifters would understand, but we had many humans coming in for our beer, and they could be quite stuffy sometimes.
When she wore all three of our marks and lay with her eyes half closed, we each took one more kiss before managing to find a way to lie so each of us was touching her with at least one hand. If I could figure out how to do it, I’d make sure I never was without that physical connection again. But even without it, I’d always know when she came into a room, always be able to sense her mood and if she needed me for anything. And that was far better than most people could ever expect.
I woke a couple of times during the night to see her with either Eero or Zyon, and a third time just to cuddle with Opal. Our mate and the light of our lives.
Chapter Twenty-Four
Opal
The day after the night of my life, I woke up to bright sunlight streaming into the bedroom. I reached out but found myself alone again.Not fair, boys.Grabbing up my bathrobe, I pulled it over my shoulders and shuffled downstairs, following the scent of bacon and eggs. Breakfast every morning around here, and if nights were going to be like the last one, I’d need the calories.
“Morning.” I found all of them already showered and ready to go to the brewery. “Were you going to just leave me here?” It was pathetic, but I felt quite vulnerable today. “Aren’t we all going to the brewery?”
“Absolutely, mate.” Shay got up and poured me a cup of coffee while Eero filled a plate with bacon, eggs, and fried potatoes. “We were just waiting for you to get up at your leisure. We thought you’d earned some rest.”
I sighed and sat on Zyon’s lap, resting my head on his shoulder. “I don’t think I slept more than an hour all night. I had a bedful of lusty mates keeping me awake.”
If I hadn’t giggled, they might have felt guilty. But I didn’t want them to. I did allow my orc mate to feed me a few bites before finishing myself and rushing off to the shower. I sent my mates off to the brewery to start the day, promising to drive myself over in my own car in just a little while. I made it as quick as possible, missing them the whole time. I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face.
But when I walked into the brewery, I saw them all reading a note, and none of them were smiling. “What’s wrong?”
Eero held the paper out to me and I read it with both dismay and happiness. Mabel had met her dreamboat on the app and taken off. She didn’t know when or if she’d be back. They were all so upset, I said, “I don’t have a lot of office experience but I can learn if you want me to help.” And that was how I became a full-time employee at the tavern. Rather, an owner because they put me right into the business and after I struggled with the books for a while, they realized that my knowledge and experience suited me for product development.
Every day was wonderful. Especially after we hired a bookkeeper and I was able to work in my new lab and the tasting room all the time. No more flirty ladies hitting on my men. If any tried, I was there in a trice, calling them mate and adding in a little more PDA. It was heaven all day and double heaven at night with a fury like mine.
