‘I’m going to assume that Alcide and Callan are as happy with the situation as I am,’ he continued, ‘though they only need to speak up if not. So: second rule.’ His grin widened. ‘Anna comes first.’
‘You’re already putting me first,’ I said, gasping as Alcide’s hand moved up to span my ribs, brushing the underside of my breasts through the cotton of my dress.
‘Oh, no, brightness,’ Vesper purred. ‘Annacomesfirst. Callan, I believe that both Alcide and I have already experienced that heaven, and you seem well placed to take your turn.’
I blinked up at Callan. ‘Cal –’
Alcide tugged my dress down over my shoulders, exposing me to the waist.
Callan gave a deep, guttural groan. ‘Fuck,’ he muttered.
Alcide pushed the dress down, encouraging me to tilt upwards so he could slide it under me, where Callan took it in hand, tugging it down my legs until I was free and entirely naked.
Underwear hadn’t been included in Vesper’s bags of new clothes, so I’d gone without, and when I saw Callan’s expression, I couldn’t have been happier about it. In fact, I’d consider making it a habit.
Callan stared at me, his eyes blacker than night. I should have felt self-conscious, but he looked ready to devour me, and the only thing I felt was a whole lot of wishing to be devoured.
‘Start at the ankles, Cal,’ Alcide murmured, cupping my breasts with both hands. ‘Start at the ankles and work your way up.’
Callan’s fingers wrapped around my ankles and spread my legs, baring my most private places to his gaze, and to Alcide behind me and Vesper to the side. He groaned again, his eyes fixed on where I was hot and swollen and getting wetter with want. Without breaking his gaze, he lowered his head and lifted one foot slightly, pressing his lips to my ankle bone, and keeping the other leg pinned wide open.
Vesper let out a deep, rumbling purr as Callan worked his way up my calf, leaving a rush of sensation with each press of his lips. The kisses would have been chaste, had I been less naked, and had Callan been devouring the exposed sight of me with less hunger. Alcide’s fingers found my nipples, brushing over them until they peaked, then gently pinching and pulling and pluckinguntil I could feel an answering echo of each movement deep in my core, and I was writhing under his hands.
‘Be still, Anna,’ he murmured, ‘or Callan will stop.’
I froze immediately, but Callan huffed a breath against the inside of my knee, sending shivers up my thigh. ‘That’s asking quite a lot of Callan,’ he muttered, swirling his tongue over my skin.
I moaned.
Vesper leant over me and pressed his lips to mine, swallowing the sound. ‘You look so lovely spread out like this,’ he murmured against my mouth. Alcide tweaked my nipples and I whimpered in response. ‘Callan and Alcide might have pinned you down, but you know who’s in charge here, don’t you, lodestar?’
‘Me,’ I gasped.
‘You, brightness,’ he agreed. ‘Always you.’ He slid a warm hand over my belly, moving tantalisingly close to my core, close enough that my hips thrust up of their own accord, searching for the pressure of his fingers. He chuckled. ‘I wouldn’t dare ruin Callan’s fun,’ he said, skimming his fingers through the short curls. ‘But I think your handsome Roth is wearing too many clothes, don’t you agree?’
I made an incoherent sound and watched helplessly as Vesper slid off the bed and took his place behind Callan, skimming his hands over my pilot’s broad shoulders before undoing the fastenings of his uniform and tugging it down. I moaned again, partly because Callan had licked a stripe up my thigh, and partly because Vesper was tearing Callan’s uniform off, revealing the muscles shifting under his pearlescent skin. Callan worked his way higher, until he was running his nose over the tender skin of my inner thigh, breathing in a deep lungful of the scent of my arousal.
‘Fuck, Anna,’ he groaned.
Vesper had him stripped to the waist; the starling gave the Roth a sharp rap on the shoulder, then took his mouth in a punishing kiss as he divested Callan of the rest of his uniform. Callan looked shocked for a moment, before his hand came up to twine through Vesper’s dark curls and he returned the kiss in a way that left me breathless and desperately hungry. Behind me, Alcide shifted, making a low noise as Vesper reached down and unceremoniously wrapped his fingers around Callan’s long, thick, and clearly very hard cock.
‘Oh my goodness,’ I whispered.
Vesper broke the kiss and pumped his hand, watching as Callan panted. The starling didn’t seem surprised by the raised ridges of scales beneath his palm, nor by the way they were rippling frantically beneath his touch. ‘I think you’ve teased enough,’ Vesper purred. ‘I want to hear Anna screaming your name. Can you do that, Callan?’
Callan moaned, then seized Vesper’s chin in his hand and dragged him in for another kiss. I watched, breathless. They were so much rougher with each other than they were with me; so much more careless of their strength, of where their teeth went, of what their hands found. Alcide ground against me, growling; his thick length was pressed to my back and I felt him there like a brand.
‘Callan,’ he grated out. ‘If you don’t make Anna come, I’m going to do it for you.’
My black-haired Roth pulled away from Vesper and looked down at us, his gold-lined eyes gleaming. With his horns curling back and the unreal lines of his muscles he looked closer to a demon than to human; he was so beautiful my heart thudded against my ribs.
‘Callan,’ I whispered.
That was all it took; he folded between my legs, pushing my knees wide with his shoulders, just as he’d done in my dream. Hedidn’t bother with his fingers, diving straight in with his tongue, giving a swipe up my slit that had me bucking in Alcide’s hands. Either his instincts were supernatural or someone had told him how human females worked, because he narrowed in on my clit immediately, flattening his tongue and working it with small, firm licks that made my whole body tense.
Vesper ran a hand down Callan’s spine, watching as the Roth’s body responded with an arched back and a moan that vibrated against my core and almost sent me through the roof. My knees tightened on his shoulders and my fingers bunched in the blanket beneath me, my body deliciously pinned between the two Roth.
‘Dread gods,’ Alcide breathed, as Vesper ran his hands over the perfect globes of Callan’s ass.
