Just then the lights snapped on, and the killing issue was put to rest as the entire class of 2003 pushed through the doorway, chattering and gasping and demanding to know what happened.
She watched the tall, magnificent dragons shrink back to tall, magnificent men. And her cat purred.
Two hours later, hotel security released them to go to their room and rest. The camel was going to be sent back to his people for punishment. They’d told their story over and over, once the others returned to the party to eat, drink, and be merry. The three of them…not so much. They were tired and just wanted some peace and to be together. The concierge caught them on their way through the lobby and suggested they order room service. “As a gift of the hotel.”
After riding up in the elevator that once again did not fly through the roof, they ordered an appalling amount of food and ate it. Drank wine and toasted one another and retold the story of the camel until they had changed the details enough to be unrecognizable. Which made it just a bit better. Finally, sated on food, they sat together on the big, cushy sofa, with Gina in the middle.
“So, what shall we do now?” she asked, weak with laughter and relief that she had been saved before anything too horrible could happen. “Bedtime?”
Sky laughed but took her hand in his. “Gina, are you really all right?”
She scoffed. “Of course. I can handle a masher.” But maybe not one who threatened her cat. Not much could make her madder than that.
“We knew he’d be unhappy but had no idea how much animosity he holds against us. Turns out, he thought we were stealing his limelight. And last night just made it worse.” Sky brushed a lock of hair back from her forehead. “Like he had any limelight. The class elected him president because nobody else wanted the job.”
“I see.” She leaned forward and took a sip of wine then replaced the glass on the coffee table and rested her head on the sofa again. “Well, he’s got all the notoriety he needs, now. I know camels have odd customs, but I’ve never heard of rape being one of them.”
“No. It’s not. And he’s the son of the dominant in his herd, until now was the heir apparent. This will probably cost him that. And possibly banishment as well. They are not the most forgiving group and, like him, they hate being embarrassed.” Sky slung an arm around her shoulder, his hand landing on Thunder’s back. “Let’s forget about him for this afternoon. And everyone but us. The dinner dance is in a few hours, and everyone is going to want details.”
Thunder smiled over her at Sky. “We could just go home and skip it all.”
“No!” burst out before she could temper her reply. “I mean…you came all this way. You don’t want to skip the party, do you? All your friends are here.”
Sky snorted. “They weren’t our friends. Not really. When we were hurting, they didn’t do anything to make it better. Oh, they pretended to. ‘Walter, Conflagration scored 1480 on the SAT, how did you do?’ ‘Conflagration, did you see Walter’s grade in spellcasting?’ It’s taken me a long time to put it all together. I was so lonely, so distraught, that I didn’t know what I was doing half the time.”
Thunder nodded. “Me, too. After we stopped hanging out, I missed you every day.”
Gina glanced from one to the other then stood. Stepping around Sky, she nudged him with her foot. “Sit with your friend. And then tell me why you two are not doing the naughty with each other. You’re so clearly in love.”
“Gina, it’s nothing against you…”
She grinned and picked up her wineglass again. “It never occurred to me it was.” She took a long sip. “But I’m thinking if the three of us are going to be together, we should be together. In all ways. Me with you and with you, too. Me with both of you. And the two of you together. All ways.”
Thunder wrapped an arm around Sky’s waist. “It doesn’t bother you? If we make love to each other?”
She narrowed her eyes. “Can I be there? Even if I’m not part of it, sometimes?”
“Of course!” Sky affirmed. “We’re mates. We always want to be together.”
“Then let’s do it now. Have you boys ever, you know, done it with each other?”
Thunder snorted. “We tried once, but a girl walked in on us and raised a stink. She said some cruel things, took pictures, and threatened to spread them on social media. We were so horrified, we turned away from each other and never looked back.”
“A girl freaked you out badly enough to walk away from your mate?”
“Sounds ridiculous now,” he said. “But then. Maybe we just weren’t ready. And the idea of pictures of us together spread everywhere sounded so bad.”
“Basically,” Sky muttered.
Chapter Nine
“We were young,” Sky said, but even though he’d thought it a thousand thousand times in his mind, it sounded lame out loud.
“We were stupid.” Thunder’s choice of words made better sense. “And maybe we weren’t ready.”
Gina set her glass down and stood, extending a hand to each of them.
“Where are we going?” Was she escorting them out? With his emotions in a total uproar, he didn’t know what to expect. Especially because he’d never wanted anything more than Thunder in his arms. Except maybe Gina in his arms. Or both.
She held her hands out until they each took one, then she tugged. “Come on, boys. If a girl watching messed things up, then I guess the only way to fix it is a take two.”
“You mean…” Thunder’s voice was low, but tight.
“I mean, you two are going to do the deed, and I’m going to watch.”
“You just want to watch?”
“Well, for a bit anyway. I think it’s important you have some of each other before you bring me back in.”
She said it as if there was no alternative. And he had to agree. “Well if Thunder is okay with it?”
Thunder dragged the two of them into the bedroom. Seemed as if he was okay.
Once in there, Gina extricated herself and curled up in a chair in a corner of the room.
Sky and Thunder paused by the bed and looked at one another, then at her.
“If it would make you more comfortable, I can turn away,” she said. “Whatever you want.”
“We want you here, with us,” Sky said. Thunder nodded. “We will make love to each other, but we want you in bed, too. We’re a triad.”
She nodded as well and moved toward them, taking off her clothes as she went. “I want to be there with you.” Naked, she slipped under the sheets and held them open. “Join me?”
Took them about a second and a half to fall into bed, locked in an embrace.
Gina did watch. She watched as the two men in her life made love to one another and, while they were not touching her, at first, they might as well have been. Part of being a triad, she was learning, was experiencing one another’s emotions and, to some extent, sensations, too. As they kissed, she could feel their passion, their eagerness, and when Sky traced a trail down Thunder’s chest, peppering kisses over his flat male nipples, her hand crept between her legs. She’d never seen anything so amazing as the love these men shared falling out in a physical way.
Sky reached Thunder’s cock and gripped it in one strong fist. He closed his lips over it and sucked it deep to the music of the other man’s groans. It was almost as if she was participating as well as watching. Their heat reached her as Sky worked over the other man’s dick, licking, sucking, and squeezing his balls. She could learn a lot from them.
Thunder’s hips bucked, and he buried his hands in Sky’s hair, holding him down. Powerful thighs lifted his pelvis to thrust his dick into the other man’s mouth. Oh yeah. Then, a hand shot out and grabbed her, and she found herself kissing Thunder, astride his body. Dear Goddess, Sky was licking them both. She hadn’t even known that was possible, but it felt…incredible. The rock-hard cock and the tongue blended into one in her mind, making it almost impossible to separate them, to tell which was which, but whichever it was, she rose and rose,
soaring into orgasm just as Thunder spurted his load into Sky’s mouth, overflowing onto her and making her come again. Heck, it might have been three times. It was just so good.
She rolled to the side, panting, with Thunder’s arm under her head in time to see Sky lift the man’s legs and plunge between them. Had he even lubed him up? She wasn’t sure. But Thunder didn’t seem to be in pain. He writhed with an expression of ecstasy twisting his handsome face. Sky retreated and drove in again. And again. And again. Then he pounded him in short bursts of energy that reverberated around them all. Then long strokes again, Thunder’s legs on his shoulders. She’d thought that guys were always back to front, but this was so intimate. Thunder’s fingers dug into her arm, almost painful, but to her amazement, he was coming again. Spewing cum all over his chest.
And then Sky was coming, in Thunder’s ass, his face screwed up, too. And they were shouting. And she was shouting because, why not? A moment so amazing seemed to require shouting.
Fair enough.
And then they all floated down onto a pillow of love.
They never made it to dinner. Didn’t even try. With the seemingly unending energy of new lovers, they found new ways of exploring their bodies late into the night. And into the next morning.
Epilogue
Two weeks later, in Thunder’s cave/condo, she bared her neck to them both. They bit her, made her theirs. She bit them back. Made them all each other’s. She’d not known what she was missing until the dragons entered her life. Since then, she’d been with them in their apartments in the cliffside whenever she wasn’t filming. It was a little off the beaten path, but she liked that. The people in town treated her like a normal person, not a celebrity.
She’d trailered Miss Honey up because she’d found that next to making love with her dragons, she loved riding her horse along the beach, hooves pounding in the sand while the rose-gold and silver dragons winged above them.
Of course, she also loved it when one of them consented to let her ride them into the sky, over the cliffs and the ocean waves.
She’d come home with them the day after the reunion, and started plans to combine their condos into one.
They knew they were mates, only the bite remaining to make it official, and so the neck baring happened. It hurt, and left marks on her skin that no makeup artist would be able to hide. But she didn’t care.
A bite was little cost.
And she’d have to slow down on horseback riding and dragon flying soon. Her overprotective mates had managed to impregnate her their first night together. She’d never been so careless with birth control before. Maybe she’d known right away.
They filled her emptiness as if they’d always been there. She already couldn’t imagine what it would be like not to have them. And she hoped she’d never have to find out.
“Beauty, get down here,” Sky called from the lower level of their combined condo. “I want to show you something.”
And…she had a name, too. They called her Beauty. And made her feel like one every day.
