"Tell me in your own words why you have to sot me out.” Said the Vola as she looked down at them with her stark white eyes from her seat. Deacon spoke up first.
“We have found out we are Aurora’s mates, and we have many worries about what we should do and her safety.” Teagan, his dragon close to the surface, growled.
“We want to know if we were her mates in past lives too. And is it possible for her to become fertile in this lifetime? Has she been pregnant in the past? What do we need to know to help her and ourselves survive?” The rest of his brothers nodded their heads in agreement as they looked at the Volva.
Looking down at them, she lowered her hand and said, pay the price. It was custom to lick the Vola’s hand so she could see your future. Each of the brothers customarily licked her hand then sat back waiting. The drummers started drumming a steady beat. The Vola closed her eyes and looked towards the ceiling as she softly chanted under her breath. Then coming to a stop, she blinked her eyelids open, turning her head in their direction, smiling.
“Yes, you are all equally her mates as you have been before many lives over. No, she had never carried your children in her womb. With the war waging decade after decade, it was never plausible. She has changed, though. There is something there that was not there before. What once was may not now be. She was made to break the very cosmic rules that exist. What happens is up to her. As for ending the war, protect her but learn to let her fight and be strong on her own too. Keep your eyes peeled for traitors; they are many, and they have succeeded in the past. There is a secret room in the depths of the temple for when Aurora is in danger of shifting for the first time. Trust your mate’s judgment. Teach her what you know. Help her learn. And if you have any issues or trouble, then know you can come speak with me again.” Said the Vola.
With that, the Vola got up her long star-covered dress sparkling in the firelight as she stood to signal that they were done. The brothers all bowed and left eager to get back to Aurora. Having had talked about it earlier, they decided to give each of them a few hours alone with Aurora this evening to appease their protective nature and shifter sides. This way, they could take shifts to guard her and get some time to know their mate.
Aurora sat on the window seat still after hours engulfed in journals and the past secrets they held. The light was starting to fade outside as she sat pondering everything she had learned. She had to figure out how she felt about these hunky men in her life. She was very attracted to them and a tiny bit ashamed to admit that she lost herself completely when she had been in Deacon's arms. That kiss had made her brain turn to mush and then some. And the goddess help her; she wanted to do it all over again. She wondered what it would be like to kiss Karis, Eli, or Teagan. A knock sounded at the door interrupted her post-dinner daydream.
“Yes, come in.” Called out Aurora. Amber poked her head in and asked.” Would you like some help getting out of that corset and into something else?”
Aurora replied. “No, I think I can manage on my own in a bit. Plus, I am hoping the guys will stop by in a bit. They have been away all day.” Amber smiled, warmly at her and Said.
“Well, I will at least stoke the fire and pull back the blankets for you. We do have a tv in here so you could watch a movie in bed if you would like.”
Aurora gasped. “You guys have tv and DVDs here? I thought to be in another realm that we wouldn’t have that sort of thing. Where is the tv?” Amber laughed.
“Well, we have more technology than those on earth. But we do tend to like to have it tucked away when it's not being used.” Said Amber as she walked over to the sixty-inch mirror Id thought was odd this morning, and she pushed a button on the side of the frame. And just like that, the mirror was no longer a mirror but a sixty-inch tv. She then opened the doors of the stand below it.
“These are all the DVDs that we own feel free to pick whatever you like.” Said Amber as she stepped back for Aurora to look. Aurora bent down and looked through the DVDs surprised to find so many she loved. Picking an action movie that had some romance in it, she put the DVD in. A knock on the door sounded, and Amber, who was now on her way out, opened the door to reveal Teagan at the door. He looked amazing in jeans that hugged his ass and a loose v neck tunic that had dragons embroidered on the left half of the shirt. His shoulder-length auburn hair was tied back, and his blue eyes sparkled as he stood there in the doorway staring at her. His eyes consumed her from top to bottom; she felt like he had undressed her with a glance. Feeling her cheeks heat up, she stammered.
“Come on in; I was just about to watch a movie. Would you like to join me?” Asked Aurora. It seemed odd doing something that seemed so mundane as watching a movie, but normalcy felt nice right now thought Aurora.
“Sure, I'd love too.” Said Teagan as he walked in. Amber left the room, smiling widely at Aurora, closing the door behind her. Aurora went over to the bed and sat down as she picked up the tv remote. Teagan walked around the bed and sat on the other side against the headboard.
“I haven’t seen you or your brothers all day. Where have you guys been?” Asked Aurora as she scooted up to sit beside him against the headboard. Teagan grinned at her as he reached his arm up over her shoulders and brought her closer to his side.
“Miss me, did you?” He teased as he took in her silver and blue dress that slit at the hips in. That corset was a jaw-dropper and those breasts. He had to stop himself from just walking in and kissing her right then and there. His dragon was having a fit inside, wanting him to claim their mate. Aurora blushed more as she looked up at him. “Yea, I missed you a bit. You missed Loki biting the cook in the ass because he wouldn’t give him another fish. And I spent the day reading some books my previous self-left behind.” He chuckled as he smiled back at her, and they fell into silence, watching the movie for a bit.
“How is it that you and your brothers are all a different species, yet you are brothers?” Asked Aurora.
“Our father is the God Tyr, he had four fated mates, one was a wolf shifter, one was a dragon shifter, one was a Valkyrie, and one was a giant with warlock ancestry.” Explained Teagan.
“How can that be though I was told that only two Gods survived?” Asked Aurora as her brow furrowed in confusion.
“Yes, only two Gods survived a Goddess is not considered a God because she is female. The Gods held their Goddess’s in great esteem; some of them were far more powerful than the original Gods themselves. But when the prophecy was told, they assumed that when they said Gods that it included all Goddess’s too.” Said Teagan.
“Oh, okay, so you all grew up with four different mothers. How did that work?” Asked Aurora as she bit her lower lip.
“They were all fated mates, so they took time and got to know each other and eventually were totally fine sharing my father. We lived in one house all together like a normal family, and each mom treated all of us equally as her own. There was no divide.” Explained Teagan as he slipped his arm around her shoulders. She tried to wrap her head around being okay with three other women being with one of her mates, and she just couldn’t even fathom it.
“So, your father and mothers are still alive then?” Asked Aurora as she leaned against his shoulder.
“Yeah, actually, Karis told them all about you, and our moms have been pestering us to meet you. So, we are setting up a dinner at the palace here in a few days so you all can meet each other.” Said Teagan.
“Oh, okay.” Said Aurora as she thought deeply. If she was honest, she was nervous about meeting their family. What if they didn’t like her or something? She couldn’t pay attention to the movie all she could think about was the feel of his arm around her shoulders and his touch as he twirled a strand of her hair around his finger. Not being able to stand it any longer, she turned around, and looking into his eyes brought herself closer.
“What are you doing, love?” Asked Teagan in a husky voice. Wondering if she could truly go through with this, she faltered for a moment. Deacon had been her firs
t kiss. And she was a virgin, so this was completely new territory for her. Unsure and yet wanting to know what his kiss felt like she bit her lip and said.
“I just want to try something.” Teagan staring into her eyes, nodded his head because he was scared that if he said anything, she would move away. She scooted closer, and taking his masculine chin in her right hand, she moved in, placing her lips on his. Teagan let her set the pace as he kissed her back, exploring her mouth with his tongue. Her hands wandered down his chest, and he cupped her ass, picking her up and pulling her to straddle him. Damn, every part of him felt aflame. So aroused with need, he wanted to scoop her up and do amazing naughty things to her. Aurora felt so hot and like her next breath depended on this man continuing to kiss her and ignite this warm burning need inside her. A little whimper came out of her when he pulled away.
“Love, we can’t continue this unless you want to go further. If you don’t, then I will respect that. My dragon might not understand, but I will because you are my mate, and I respect you.” Looking deeply into her beautiful green eyes, she looked amazing, straddling him, corset cinching her tiny waist, and those breast heaving peeking out from that v neck top, nipples aroused at attention. He reached for every ounce of self-control, trying to keep his dragon in check. Biting her lip, Aurora looked at him with burning need and said.
“I don’t want to wait; you are my mate.” Her scent flooded his nose as he caught a whiff of her arousal. Groaning, he reached up, smoothing her blue hair away from her face as he kissed her deeply. He knew he wouldn’t be able to control his dragon much longer. Pulling away, he kissed her neck and trailed his hands down her back over his mark on her skin.
“Love, there is a chance my dragon might take over halfway through. He won’t change forms, but he may become a bit rougher in a pleasurable way than I would personally be. But he would never hurt you; you never have to fear him. Okay?” A bit unsure, Aurora just nodded her head in understanding. Teagan picked her up, and swinging his legs over the bed, set her on her feet between his big legs. Leaning his head in, he took one nipple into his mouth through the fabric of her shirt, and as his hands found the drawstring of her pants. Aurora threw her head back, moaning as she felt herself get wetter. Lowering her pants, he kissed her other breast and reached up to draw her arm out of the top of her dress. No patience to take the corset off, Teagan left it in place as he pulled down her shirt to let her breast spill forth over the corset top. Sucking in a breath, he murmured.
“Damn Aurora, you are so beautiful you make me burn with need.” She answered with a moan as his fingers found her clit circling the nub drawing out little whimpers from her lips. He pleasured her sucking her breasts and fondling her clit until he couldn’t handle the confines of his pants. Undoing his pants, he let them fall to the floor as he picked her up and walked to the tv. Turning it off, he returned to the bed, where he flipped her around onto her hands and knees facing the mirror — whispering in her ear as his eyes changed a golden color, his dragon taking control.
“I want to see you as I touch and claim you.” Aurora shook with anticipation and want as his hands found her clit. “I want to see you come undone for me, my Love.” Growled Teagan’s dragon. Pleasure mounting, she cried out as she climaxed her juices, soaking his fingers. She looked into the mirror to see him insert his finger in his mouth, licking it clean. Then he reached out, playing her love spot all over again. Not being able to handle it any longer, Aurora wiggled herself rubbing up against him moaning in need. He loses all control slid his cock inside her entrance stopping for a moment to let her accommodate his size as he kissed her neck, biting it lightly. Feeling a barrier break as he thrust through it, he swore.
“Shit. Why didn’t you tell me you hadn’t been with anyone before my love?” Moaned Teagan as he rained his dragon in for a few seconds to give Aurora a chance to adjust. Aurora panting looked at him in the mirror, her cheeks rosy and breasts heaving as they hung swaying said.
“I didn’t think about it. Don’t stop, please.” Unable to control himself longer, his dragon pushed through his eyes, changing once again. He kissed her back as he thrust deeper dragging a moan out of her. Just when she thought it couldn’t get any better, he bit down on her neck, and his cock grew in size within her. Causing an “Oh! Mm..” To escape her open lips as he started pounding her harder as he held her eyes in the mirror, claiming every inch of her body until her legs shook, and he held her up with an arm under her waist as he continued moving within her.
“Keep looking at me. I want to see you.” Growled his dragon half as he pounded deeper. Unable to hold herself up, he sat her on his shaft and held her pert waist as he made her look in the mirror as he lifted her up and down. On the blissful edge, she found herself clenching his cock tighter as she lost complete control screaming in bliss as he came inside her. “Mine.” Growled the dragon as he kissed the bite mark on her neck then gave back control to Teagan. Teagan looking tenderly at his spent mate picked her up, and walking to the bathroom helped her out of her corset and clothing that was left. Aurora stood on shaky legs holding his arms for balance. Then let out a squeal of surprise when he scooped her up after taking his shirt off.
Proceeding to walk into the big bathtub of a pool, he held her close kissing her neck. “What are you doing?” Asked Aurora through a yawn.
“Cleaning you up to my love, let me take care of you tonight and always.” To spent to argue, she wrapped her legs around his waist and let him lather her back with lilac soap. Getting some feeling back in her legs, she stood on her own feet as he soaped her breasts then reached down to clean elsewhere. “Oh!” squeaked Aurora as she found herself yet again wanting more. Teagan smiling, withdrew his hand, and said.
“No more tonight, you probably will be sore tomorrow. There will be many more nights like this, my love.” Aurora frowned as if someone took a new favorite toy away.
“And what if I come on to you?” She asked sassily moving her hand over his hard muscles. The dragon sensing the challenge came to the surface and kissed her. Teagan wrestling control from his dragon once more pulled back and said.
“As much as I would like to. I think my brothers who I can smell and hear in the hallway are on the edge of self-control since they can smell your arousal. So, we had better clean you up and get you presentable so I can go talk to them unless you want them barging in here wanting more.” Aurora bit her lip in worry and nodded her head as she followed him out of the bath. As much as she was aroused and wanted more, she was scared that her other mates would be mad at her coupling with Teagan. And she wasn’t brave enough yet to even entertain the idea of all four at once...
Once dressed in a light-yellow nightgown. Teagan tucked her into bed and said. “My brothers and I all wanted some time with you, so we agreed to take shifts watching over you tonight. Aurora swallowing the lump in her throat asked.
“Will they be mad at me for being with you if I don’t do so with them?” Teagan lay beside her for a moment pulling her close.
“We are your mates, Aurora; we won’t ever make you do anything you don’t want to. You call the shots. If you are uncomfortable with anything, you say no. We will respect that if you want us all to only sleep in the same room beside you. We would do so no complaints. We want you to be happy. So, no, they won’t be mad at you, but they may be sexually frustrated at the moment. But not mad at you, and they won’t expect anything of you that you don’t want to give.”
Breathing out a breath she hadn’t realized she had been holding, she relaxed and hugged him back, not wanting to let him go. He kissed her on the nose and got up, heading for the door. Opening it, he slipped out. In the hallway, Karis paced back and forth as Eli leaned up against the far wall, and Deacon stood with fists clenched.
“Before you all get mad at me, she is terrified you all are going to be mad at her. She came on to me, and I let her lead. We will have to get used to the idea of sharing her because if we don’t, we risk hurting her.” Karis stop
ped pacing, and Deacon let his clenched fists relax. Eli pushed off the wall.
“It was difficult for us to control ourselves; her scent is enough to drive us insane. But you are right; we have to let her lead and choose what happens and when.” Said Eli.
“Your right, “Agreed Karis and Deacon at the same time. “Okay, who is up next to guard and spend some time with her?” Asked Teagan. “We all agreed...” The door to the bedroom opened, and Aurora in her yellow nightgown stood there.
“I understand from my past self through her journals how your other sides, such as wolf, a dragon may be a bit possessive and protective in the beginning and have a hard time being far from your mate.” She bit her bottom lip then continued. “I’m not ready to be intimate with everyone, but I would like to be close to you all tonight. Would you all like to, I guess sleepover?” She asked as she blushed once again.
“Yes, I think I can speak for us all and say we would be happy to spend the night just near you.” Said Deacon as he moved in for a hug as the guys all nodded and warmly smiled at her. Hugging her tight, he whispered. “We could never be upset with you; you set the rules, my firefly.” Aurora, once released for Deacon's embrace, opened the door for them all to come inside her room. Karis swooped her off her feet and nuzzling her neck said.
"You are glowing and tired are you okay if I just hold you close?” Aurora yawned deeply and snuggled into his big frame. “I’m cool with cuddles. I kind of feel like I’ve known you all forever, and I guess in a sense I have in our past lives, but I want to get to know you all in this life.” She said as she yawned yet again. Karis tucked her into the middle of the big bed and lay down beside her. Teagan took the space above their heads, where the pillows normally would sit. Deacon slid into the bed on her right side, snuggling up to her back and wrapping an arm around her stomach. Eli lay across the foot of the bed, cozying up to her feet. All their inner souls happy and content to just be near their mate; they all drifted into sleep.
