“Oh my goodness.” Dakota’s mom was blushing. I grabbed Dakota’s empty water bottle and crushed it in my hand.
“Now, I have a special treat for you all,” Declan said, near what had to be the end of the concert. “You all remember that incredible guitar solo on Rock Jubilee, right?”
The audience roared. I sunk down in my seat a little.
“Well, the son of the great Rafe Holland is in the house, and let me tell you, he plays just like his dad.” He winked at me. “Rafe Jr., you want to come up here?” He picked up a guitar and held it out to me.
Hiron gave me a serious look before his eyes flicked back to the stage. He seemed like he was waiting for something.
“Are you planning something, Hir?” I asked.
Hiron left his seat, leapt onto the stage, and took the guitar from Declan, who looked very confused. “He will not,” he growled. “Family should be loyal to one another at all costs. Family does not treat one another transactionally. One does not bribe, nor gloat, nor undermine pride or dignity, when it comes to brothers of the blood. I cannot dispute that your music pleases humans, but now that I am aware of what transpired between you and Rafe some fifty-five years ago, I will do what I should have done long ago.”
He punched Declan in the face.
I thought, back then, that if I told Hiron the truth, he would never fully trust me. He would know I left the Fixed Plane out of pride, and not because I loved him and Xado. How stupid I’d been. Instead, my lie had created a rift between us. But now that would never be true again. I knew this for sure.
The only good thing about that day was that I had someone to catch me when my pride fell. Hiron was that someone: always solid, never arrogant, always willing to forgive. My bond-fellow for life, and now our family was complete, and our trust in another was complete as well.
Still, Dakota was right.
We had definitely ruined her vacation.
Chapter Twenty-Six
Dakota
Declan wiped his bleeding nose with the sleeve of his jacket and sprung off the stage—heading right for us. He was still in good shape for an old guy, and in that moment I could definitely see the demon in him. He was fast and he hit the ground running. The crowd of old people was mostly just kind of watching this like it was part of the show, while security was advancing.
“Sir! Sir, I need you to—”
“Back off,” Declan said. “This is just a family spat. Rafe, you’re the one who turned your back on me when I gave you a big break. You came back here to show off your hot young thing? Well, I don’t need a hot young thing. But at this point, I wouldn’t mind growing old with a fan who can feed me…and already knows what I really am. Your timing couldn’t be better.” He reached for my mom.
“You back off! My mom doesn’t want demon mates!” I cried.
“If I bring her back to Sinistral, I’ll show her a night that’ll change her mind.”
“Ew!” Was he actually going to kidnap my mom!? “No way!” As if on instinct, I reached for the protection spell I had made. I don’t know why I bothered. Surely witchcraft like that wouldn’t work here. But I grabbed her hand and I shouted the spell words anyway.
Like, what did I have to lose?
To my shock, I saw a faint glow surround us both, and Declan edged a step back. Rafe grabbed his shoulder.
“Whoa,” Mom said. “Dakota, did you make that glow?”
“Yeah. And…I have to go,” I said, watching security move in on Hiron. “I’m so sorry. I’ll make plans to meet up again really soon.” I bit my lip. There was so much more I wanted to say. “I hope some part of you understands.”
“A part of me does. I want to know more.” She threw her arms around me. “But also? You said you’re not strong like I am? That’s b.s.” She stepped back now, looking into my eyes. “I don’t know much about Sinistral, but I know how this world operates. I’ve had other people undermine me and shit talk me and harass me at work all my life. I got where I am bit by bit. And I just want you to know that you’re in control of your destiny. If you don’t like what’s going on, change it. Take control. You can do it. If you want to be a witch, well, go be the best witch. What you did just now… And I also took your healing potions, by the way, and I have a lot more energy today, if you’ve noticed. I don’t think my lack of energy yesterday had anything to do with the cancer, I think I’m just old, but still.” She laughed. “I believe in you.”
I just starting blubbering at that point. “I love you.”
Xado waited patiently behind me for me to turn to him, while Hiron and Rafe were both still in a shouting match with Declan.
“I will take good care of her,” Xado assured my mom. “Even when those two are acting like they have barely left the litter.”
“The litter?” Mom repeated.
He nodded. “Yes, children. It was an honor to meet the mother of our treasured bride.” He kissed her hand. “We will speak soon.”
He turned to Hiron and Rafe and we all started running.
“I’m glad you two think it’s amusing,” Xado said. “Now I have to get you out of sight of these humans so we can get home.”
“I know a place,” Rafe said.
“Family bathroom?” I asked.
“If it’s good enough for making love, it’s good enough for making a break for it.”
Back at the castle, Rafe and Hiron started laughing.
“His face was priceless,” Rafe said. “He didn’t expect that at all.”
“I know.” Hiron smirked.
“Guys…that was really stupid. And now I can never go back to Disney World! I still haven’t seen two of the parks at all.”
“No one will remember your face,” Hiron said. “You can return.”
“But I’m stuck being ten feet away from you, if you remember that whole thing?” I frowned. “I want to be a real witch. I want to go back to the Symposium and beg those guys for a second chance.”
“Perinor won’t even let you in the door,” Rafe said.
“Did you see me cast my protection spell on Mom even in the Fixed Plane? Come on!”
“I saw,” Xado said. “You are certainly worthy of being a witch…when your spells come from love, they are quite potent indeed…”
“Ohh, I get it,” I said. “They won’t be impressed unless I stop acting like an Ethereal witch.”
“Yes.”
“Hmm. Well, let’s table that for now.” I held my hands out to all three of them. “I want my happily ever after now.”
“Are you truly happy, Lady Dakota?” Hiron asked.
“I’d been looking forward to that trip practically all my life,” I said. “But I didn’t even mind leaving early. I feel a lot better as far as Mom is concerned. I think she’s going to be all right. And I have a real castle, and real magic, and three real princes who turn into dragons…in just the right ways, at just the right times.”
“I’m glad you appreciate the situation,” Xado said. “Because I am yearning to feel your skillful mouth around my cock again. I wonder how urgently you will lick and suck when Hiron and Rafe are both deep inside you.” Before I could say anything feisty in response, he said, “I think it’s time to stop your deeply unconvincing protests and succumb to everything we can give you. It’s time to make you a dragon’s bride.”
The other two nodded and Hiron swept me into his arms.
“Wait, I mean—why are you saying it like that? Is there something special about becoming a dragon’s bride?”
“This will only happen once,” Hiron said. “I wouldn’t say it’s dangerous…”
“Nah, it’s not dangerous,” Rafe said. “We know what we’re doing.”
“What are you doing?” I screamed.
“Dragons usually lay eggs,” Xado said. “You don’t want to lay eggs.”
“No, I do not!!”
“But we do want our children to be dragons. In order for you to conceive, we must do a particular ritual.”
“We have to ‘dragon out’, as you put it, just for a moment. But we will not harm you. We will take the utmost care,” Hiron said.
He carried me to the bed, and I relaxed into his arms. I knew they wouldn’t hurt me. He set my feet on the floor, drawing me close to his broad chest and lifting my dress up over my head. I kicked off my sandals, shivering a little before they all drew close to me, warming me with their bodies. In a ritual that was already very familiar to me by now, they stripped off their clothes in between showering me with kisses and caresses, nipping at my breasts or teasing my clit.
I laid back on the bed, stretching out down to my fingers and toes, relishing their attention. Hiron gathered some of my hair into his hand, his lips and tongue slipping deep into my mouth as he drank in the taste of me like it was a meal he had been starving for. His breath quickened with increasing desire. “Even in just two weeks, Lady Dakota, I have watched your confidence grow. You are truly becoming the lady of our castle.” He picked up a bottle of oils scented with flowers that smelled like honey, and rubbed a little on his palms before passing it around to the other men.
They all started massaging me with deep, sensual strokes, working the scented oil into my naked skin. This might have been even better than sex. My shoulders, my feet, my hands…all my tension melted away under their strong hands. They turned me over to work the oil into my back and butt, and Xado gave my ass a light smack.
“Hey!”
“I couldn’t help myself. Such a ripe little peach.”
“I want a turn,” Rafe said, giving me another smack.
I shot an annoyed look over my shoulder.
“Dakota is still Dakota,” Hiron said, sliding a finger down to my pussy. “She grows more wet but for some reason she does enjoy yelling at us. Maybe this yelling turns you on?”
“Hmm, maybe it does…”
“Yell all you like. But spread for him,” Xado said, his low command driving straight to the heart of me as he pushed my knees open and then lifted my ass off the bed. He spread my pussy lips open with his fingers and slathered my juices around, the sound of his fingers growing more loud and slick.
He crawled under me and started licking my clit as Hiron shifted around him. I couldn’t quite see what was going on, but in a moment I felt Hiron’s mouth join Xado’s, circling and fucking my entrance with his tongue while Xado sucked on and licked my clit like it was a piece of candy. When I moaned or jerked beneath their ministrations, they backed off a little so I couldn’t quite get to a climax yet. I chewed on my lip. I was eager to taste them too. Rafe seemed to notice.
He now moved his cock toward my mouth. He dug his fingers into my hair and lifted my head up a little, pushing into my open lips. All the stuff Xado and Hiron were doing to me between my legs melted away made me want more and more. I wanted them to claim me any way they wanted. I eagerly took his cock in my mouth and wrapped my arms around his thighs, feeling his muscles tense with pleasure as I swirled my tongue over the head of his cock. For now, his cock was still very human but it grew harder and thicker, straining against the binding rings.
For a moment the only sounds were grunts and moans of slowly mounting pleasure as Xado and Hiron were making stars dance in my vision as I took Rafe deeper.
When I started panting, rising to a climax, they stopped.
“I think she’s ready to begin,” Xado said. “Dakota, take this.” He handed me a spell bottle. “It will allow you to accept our dragon seed and bear us the precious hatchlings. It has everything necessary. Fertility magic and spells to ensure that we can procreate across forms. And also good mead so it is pleasant to drink.”
My eyes widened at the seriousness of this as I suddenly remembered something. “Earlier you mentioned a litter. That was a joke, right?”
“Certainly not a joke,” Xado said. “An earnest hope for the future.”
“Like I’m going to have more than one baby at a time?”
“Humans aren’t used to how we do things,” Rafe said. “Darlin’, we dragons just get it all over with in one shot. Three to five babies in a litter and then you’re done. It’s better that way.”
“What? Like hell it is!”
“They will be quite small, but tough, on account of their dragon blood,” Rafe said.
“And we’ll have good healing spells to bring you back to your old self quickly, as well as spells to increase milk production,” Hiron said. “Mother and babies will all be very healthy and very pampered, you can be sure of that.”
“I mean…I guess it’s true. I would rather have the kids while I’m still relatively young…but this sounds like a lot. A lot. Like, you should have mentioned this earlier.”
“Would you have left?” Rafe asked.
“I…guess not.”
“Then, what can you do?” he said.
“You can communicate better, is what you can do.”
“Lady Dakota, if it means anything, I can think of nothing more beautiful than the thought of our bride carrying all of our children at once, so that our sons and daughters will be true bond-mates of blood from the first moment, linked together by you, as Xado and Rafe and I have been bonded in spirit.”
“That…does sound nice,” I murmured. “They won’t ever worry about being alone.”
“None of us will,” Rafe said, taking my hand. “I am so glad I chose this. I chose the three of you.”
“A sentiment I also share,” Xado said.
Hiron clapped Rafe’s back and in another moment they were all hugging each other with me in the middle. It felt so good. Maybe my babies would come into the world feeling this safe and loved too.
“All right,” I said. “I consent to having a litter of dragon babies. But definitely just one.”
“Definitely,” Hiron said. “One child per father would be an ideal scenario.”
“I’ll do my best.” I drank the potion.
“Now…let us take the lead and trust that we would never harm a hair on your head, now or ever. In six months, it will bear fruit.”
“Oh, only six months?”
“Yes,” Rafe said. “That is one perk to dragon babies. They survive outside the womb at a younger age so they come out sooner.”
“At least that sounds a little better… Are they going to be dragons when they’re born? This is too weird!”
“It’s really up to them. But dragon babies are cute too.”
“Easy for you to say…!”
Well…it was a good thing I’d always been the type to go with the flow.
Rafe leaned over me and gave me a tender kiss, conveying such love that it didn’t seem to matter how we had all found each other, only that we had. I was a little nervous about what was going to happen, but Hiron told me to trust them, so I did. As I relaxed, he easily slid his cock into me; I was still quite aroused despite a few interludes for shocking conversations. He stroked me deep but fast, unintentionally showing off his impressive strength. At first he stayed man-sized but then I felt his cock growing bigger, filling me up to the limit until it was almost too much to take, and he was still kissing me. They were all so strong and I was helpless to their rhythms. One of the little ridges kept sliding right across my g-spot but before I could come, Rafe had his climax, his seed pumping into me for what felt like forever.
The very moment he pulled out, Xado took his place. He shoved my knees practically up to my ears and got right to business, fucking me hard, and by now I was more than ready to feel the full brunt of my Viking giant.
“Oh, yes…” I gripped the bedcovers. “Yes…please…”
“What do you want, little bride?” he growled in my ear.
“Harder…harder…ooh, rougher…”
“Now she acts like a dragon maid! You are truly confusing. But as you wish.” Now he was picking up where Rafe left off, his cock taking on the shape that was both monstrous and delicious, drawing out more pleasure than I could handle with every thrust. I climaxed as he did, his seed filling me with Rafe
’s until I felt swollen with it, but I had no time to recover before Hiron took over.
He let me rest a moment, but with his cock inside me. His green eyes seemed to glow with the promise of more and more. Xado and Rafe caressed my breasts and I was quickly growing eager for more.
But how much more could I take?
Hiron turned us sideways, and Rafe stroked his hands over my buttocks.
“Now,” Hiron said. “You take us all.”
“Ahh…!” Rafe’s cock was now dripping with the scented oils from before, I felt its slick warmth as it pressed against my nether hole, but it was still huge and ridged. It went far beyond what I thought I could handle, but he carefully took me, inch by inch, and somehow I was able to accept it. Once I got past the initial discomfort a shocking sense of pleasure raced through my entire body. All of their careful foreplay had made me ready for anything, and this—this felt like the doorway to a new level of gratification like I had dreamed of but never had.
Now Xado squeezed into the mix, spreading himself across the pillows at the top of the bed and then shifting to take my chin in his hand and fuck my mouth. I felt thoroughly dominated and it was so, so good.
They were all fucking me now, Rafe and Hiron alternating thrusts while Xado took it a little more slowly with me. The moment transcended all previous experiences. I felt like I was meant for this. Meant for them.
My desire seemed to build more gently on the second time, and at first time almost seemed still, but soon it crossed a tipping point and I was moaning with need.
“It’s time,” Hiron said.
Fear lanced through me but I was helpless.
And then, for a moment, they all transformed around me, while they were filling me so deeply. My body was jerked right up off the bed, pinned between their hard shafts, as their dragon bodies grew larger, and their skin hardened to tough scales that surrounded me like an armored wall. Their cocks, of course, stayed the same size and shape but I was acutely aware that in this moment I was at the mercy of three huge, inhuman beasts, and they were even stronger than before.
