Chapter Nine
“Are you sure it was wise to send that message to Wilhelm?” Lake asked as Rory took a look at Lincoln’s arm. It was just a flesh wound, the arrow having nicked the upper arm, but still she wanted to bandage it to prevent infection.
“He would find out soon enough,” she said. “Besides this will split his focus.”
“She is right,” Lincoln agreed and Lake nodded as well.
“That dragon was incredible,” Lake said with a grin.
“And very sexy,” Lincoln added, tugging her head down and taking her mouth with his. His tongue thrust and possessed, tasting and mating with hers. He tugged her closer still and she could feel the bulge of his cock.
This she understood. They had been denied a good fight so the adrenaline was still thick in their bloodstream. The only other way to release it was through a good hard fucking. She was more than happy to participate. They were off the road just inside the tree line, so hopefully, relatively hidden from view.
“Should we be doing this out here when we just encountered Wilhelm’s men?” she moaned as their hands stroked over her body, easing clothing away.
“Exactly,” Lake said and went back to sucking up the back of her neck, nipping her flesh with his teeth while his hands tugged and pinched her nipples.
Lincoln laughed against her inner thigh as he removed her pants. “What he means is that we have already faced Wilhelm and sent one man back to him. None of our men will be out this far,” he breathed the last as he inhaled the scent of her uncovered pussy. She knew she was hot and wet with desire for them.
“Plus, we have a dragon to protect us,” Lake said and Rory laughed as she felt said dragon preen under her skin.
Oh, yes, her guardian was so in love with these two warriors.
Lincoln parted her folds and blew a breath across her clit making it pulse and throb. Lake bit down on the line of muscle at the base of her neck and followed it with sucking bites across the top of her shoulder. Her body was falling in love too or perhaps just deep into lust.
Lincoln moved one of her legs so that her foot rested on his broad shoulder. She leant back more into Lake and he wrapped her in his embrace.
“You are the perfect mate, Rory,” Lake said and she turned her neck so that she could see his eyes. He was sincere. For them this wasn’t just about sex and releasing adrenaline.
“Yes,” she moaned as Lincoln worked his tongue between her folds. One circle around her clit then he was licking back down to her opening and thrusting just the tip inside to wiggle around before starting back up again. She could feel her cream running down to coat the insides of her thighs.
Lake worked her nipples so that every tug and pinch trailed heat straight to her cunt. She was on fire with desire for them. Never had sex been this intense, this magical. She could feel the thick length of Lake’s cock along her spine at the small of her back where her guardian rested. She wanted it, and him, in any way imaginable.
Lincoln pulled back from her pussy and she looked down at him on his knees in front of her. His face was wet from her juices and he was licking her taste from his lips. As she watched his hands slipped down and within seconds his cock was released and straining up towards her. With a smile he put her leg down from his shoulder and lay back on the grass.
“Why don’t you come down here and go for a ride?” he asked with a smile, one big hand curled around the base of his cock holding it up for her.
She didn’t have to be asked twice. Giving Lake one more kiss, she eased from him so that she was kneeling around Lincoln’s legs and walking up his body until that perfect cock was just below her cunt. She lowered herself so that the head butted against her opening and just stopped and moaned. So good. It felt so incredibly good and he wasn’t even inside yet.
“Have you ever taken two men at once?” Lake asked, his voice strained with need.
She nodded. “Yes, once,” she breathed as she began to slowly lower herself onto Lincoln’s rigid cock. “There is oil in my pack.”
“Already have some,” Lake said and she glanced back once more to see him stroking the length of his cock with an oil-slicked hand.
Finally she sat on Lincoln, his cock buried deep inside her pussy. Her sheath rippled and flexed around his girth and they were both breathing heavy.
“Hurry,” Lincoln told his brother and reached up to pull her torso down over his.
She shifted her legs, opening herself wider allowing Lincoln to open his legs more to make room for Lake to join them. Her palms braced on Lincoln’s shoulders and with a smile she demanded a kiss.
Her lips covered his and her tongue slipped out to trace and explore until his mouth opened for her. Inside she tasted his unique flavour and explored every corner of his mouth that she could reach. She would pull back to nip his full bottom lip with her teeth before pressing her tongue in again and tasting more.
His cock flexed and jumped inside her cunt making her pussy tense and grip it for fear he would pull free. Then finally she felt Lake’s slick fingers rimming her puckered anus just before he began to work them inside. She moaned and pushed back towards him, letting Lincoln’s cock slip out just a bit. Then she slid back onto Lincoln and off of Lake’s probing fingers. All of them groaned.
“I’m ready, Lake,” she urged him. She was so excited. She wanted to have this with her warriors, wanted them all to be together at the same time.
His fingers pulled free and she felt the heat of his body at her back as he moved closer. Then his hands were at her hips tilting her ass just a bit higher. His hands slid to her buttocks and he spread the cheeks so that his cock could rub along the seam. He brushed over her anus once, twice, before one hand slipped to hold it against her tight pucker.
“Ready?” he asked her and she nodded her head, unable to breath as sensation tore through her.
Slowly he pressed in. First was the sharp sting as her flesh was forced to widen for his cock. A tug as he pressed past that first ring of muscle then the slow burn as he kept going forcing his cock into the dark tunnel of her ass. She breathed through it as the burn became erotic flames licking at her womb. Finally he was fully inside her and she had never felt so stretched so filled to overflowing.
They all moaned. Lake’s hands gripped her hips while Lincoln’s were wrapped around her waist. She wiggled a bit, adjusting to their intrusion into her body and they both groaned again.
“Now,” Lincoln breathed out roughly and she didn’t have to wonder what he meant for very long.
He and Lake began a perfect rhythm so that one of them thrust hard into her while the other pulled back so that only his cock head remained inside her. Their grips were tight keeping her in place between them and unable to move. So she flexed her internal muscles giving them each a squeeze every few seconds as they fucked her.
She lowered her upper body onto Lincoln’s chest and rubbed against him like a cat in heat. It was fitting to how she felt—her body on fire, burning with the need to come and come and come. She licked along his throat sucking and nipping the sweat from his skin. She moved to his chest tasting him there and finally came to one flat red disc on his chest, the nipple a hard bud tight to his chest.
She took it into her mouth sucking it much as they did hers and it had Lincoln crying out and increasing their pace. She bit down on it then scraped her teeth over it before licking across to the other one and giving it equal treatment. Apparently he liked it as much as she did. She wasn’t as rough with him as she liked for them to be with her.
“I’m going to come,” Lincoln groaned and one hand slipped from her waist to tunnel between them and found her clit. He pressed against it and starting rubbing a circular path against her.
She groaned burying her face in his chest and trying in vain to arch her hips up away from his tormenting finger. But he kept it up, sending her flying over the edge as her orgasm screamed through her. She bit his chest to hold back her screams and he retaliated by pinching her clit,
sending her even higher.
She heard his cry and felt the heat of his seed as he joined her, his cock spurting splash after splash of his cum into her pussy. He finally eased his fingers away from her clit and she shuddered against him.
Lake was still fucking her ass, riding her hard and fast. Lincoln was still hard, his cock fully inside her as he held her hips tight to his while Lake plunged faster and faster towards joining them. She felt her body shudder as her orgasm built higher. She wouldn’t survive it if she came again so soon but they weren’t giving her a choice.
She released her teeth from Lincoln’s chest and cried out as she came again, her body shaking so hard she was afraid she just might come apart this time. She could feel every inch of Lincoln inside her pussy, every stroke of Lake forcing her to keep riding the blistering edge of a pleasure so consuming she felt lost in pure sensation untethered to the earth beneath them.
Lake gave a harsh yell and pressed so deep that he lifted her a few inches off of Lincoln so that just the head remained inside her pussy. She rippled and flexed around them both as her body shuddered under the force of the continuous pleasure. She felt the heat of Lake’s cum as he filled her ass with his release. Felt the sweat drip from his body to hers even as hers dripped onto Lincoln.
She had never known pleasure such as this even existed. She was a mass of pure sensation. Everything in and around her was centred on the wash of euphoria that rampaged through her system. With a shudder she collapsed once more onto Lincoln’s chest and shut her eyes. She just needed to rest a moment before they dressed and continued. Just for a moment.
“I have never felt so boneless in my life,” Lake panted as he slid from her body and moved to lie beside Lincoln on the grass. “I’m not sure if my legs will ever be able to hold me up again.”
“I hear you,” Lincoln panted, but she felt the caress of his hand along her spine as he stroked her. His cock was softening but still remained in the cradle of her pussy. She liked that, liked having him there even when the sex was complete.
“Ummmm,” was about all she could manage as she agreed with them. She doubted she could move at the moment if she needed to. Heaven help them if Wilhelm sent another group of men and they came upon the three of them now. She wasn’t sure she even had the strength to call forth her dragon.
“Fresia avar,” Lincoln murmured, and Rory slammed back into reality as her dragon left her skin and took form around them protecting them from whatever might come. “I thought that was what you said to call your guardian,” Lincoln continued unaware of what he had just done. “Now we can all rest for just a bit.”
She heard him and Lake both settle and drift into sleep but she was unable to. He had no idea what he had just done, what he had just shown her. No one could call forth the guardian but the person it belonged to. That should mean only her. She’d never heard of a mate even being able to call it forth and yet that was what Lincoln had done.
Rory had known that her dragon accepted them as mates but still this surprised her.
How were you able to come forth when he called you? Rory asked her guardian, speaking in her mind as if she were talking to herself.
They are the ones we have been waiting for.
What do you mean? Waiting for? Rory asked.
Your mother knew love but never her true mates of the heart and soul. When soul mates meet and bond, then the guardian not only protects them but also answers their call as well as the one whose body she resides in.
Rory had never known that, never known such a thing existed. She wondered for just a moment who her mother’s soul mates had been but shrugged it off quickly. It didn’t matter. Her mother was gone and she had never known anything but love from the men she had mated with.
“They are my soul mates,” she whispered, giving voice to what her guardian was telling her as if by saying it out loud, it would not be so mind boggling to hear.
Our soul mates. Rest. I am here.
Rory hoped she would see her sister and friends again to tell them of this soul mate thing.
No, Rory. You must never share this with the others. You will only cause pain and uncertainty if they do not find it with the mates they choose.
Rory nodded. She understood that. Perhaps that was why no one she knew spoke of it. You never knew it existed unless you found it.
She snuggled closer to Lincoln and let one hand reach over to rub Lake’s chest. Though both were sleeping, each returned her touch. Lake’s hands came up to capture hers and hold it while Lincoln kissed the top of her head where it rested. Soul mates. Perhaps it wasn’t just her dragon that was already in love.
Chapter Ten
Rory didn’t need to worry about how she would speak with Aurora or Lynx, or how she would be treated by the others, namely the king. They all met them as soon as they entered the courtyard and so there was no waiting game.
“Where is my mother?” was the first statement that greeted them delivered by Lynx.
Rory turned to look at her and noticed that she stood just between two very tall Danuja. She could tell with one look that the three were already mated or soon intended to be. Knowing Lynx the way she did, she would say already. Lynx was not one to wait for what she wanted.
Aurora stepped forward and greeted her.
“Rory,” Aurora said as she reached out and grabbed arms as was custom. “It is so good to see you. Is everything okay?”
“Aurora,” Rory started then shook her head and stepped back to bow her head in deference to her friend’s new title. “Queen Aurora, it is good to see you.”
Aurora smiled at her. “So news reached the village then?”
“No, just myself so far,” Rory answered as Lake and Lincoln finally finished gathering packs and stepped up on either side of her. Lake took her hand while Lincoln placed a hand around her waist.
“Do I see a newly formed triad?” Aurora asked and her smile was a full-blown grin now.
Rory took a deep breath. “Yes,” she answered and both of her mates seemed to relax beside her. They were her mates and there was absolutely no reason to deny it to anyone, even herself.
“Welcome aboard,” Aurora said and Lynx finally stepped forward.
No one-arm greeting for her. Lynx just barrelled in and took Rory in a hug. Lynx had never been one for protocol. “I’m so glad that you are here. Is Raine all right? Where are Theron and Thaden?” Lynx stepped back to glare at Lake and Lincoln. “And where the hell is my mother?”
“She wasn’t there,” Lake said but was interrupted before he could say anything else.
“What do you mean she wasn’t there?” Lynx almost yelled.
“Perhaps we should continue this discussion inside and in private,” a new voice said and Rory knew before she glanced over that it would be King Aslan.
She knew protocol, knew that she should bow but it was hard. She looked him straight in the eye and without thought spoke the first words that came to her mind. “My mother did not kill your mother.”
As she watched his eyes seemed to grow sad and weary. But his shoulders remained a firm line and only his face showed the emotion weighing him down. “I am deeply sorry for the wrong done to your mother, to your people, to you. I cannot change what was, only promise a new tomorrow and every day afterwards.”
He was not what she expected. For one he looked a lot like Aurora. There would be no denying that the two were related. Perhaps that was one of the reasons why the king had not been seen as much. Not just for his protection but for his sister’s as well. It would be interesting to find out.
“You have declared Wilhelm a traitor,” Rory stated and King Aslan nodded but she saw that even more sadness filled his eyes. For the first time she thought of how he must feel to realise that one of his most trusted people had betrayed him. She honestly felt sorrow for the king. She knew what it was like to have an entire people depend on you, even though the right wasn’t truly hers but her sister’s.
“I have,” King Aslan
spoke again. “However I cannot say for sure that all of his influence has left these walls so I must insist that we adjourn inside and find a private spot to continue speaking.”
Rory nodded and soon they were all moving into the castle and into a chamber within the king’s private office. The walls were decorated with all kinds of weapons and it was interesting to see them hanging there. She had already noticed Aurora’s sword and would ask to see it soon. It was a legend in her culture, the sword that left the skin for good and became the property of another.
She learned the Danuja were Micah and Merced, the king and holy man of their tribe. It was a given that they were in a triad with Lynx. That was interesting. Aurora was there with Domi and Nado, her panther shifter mates. Rory was happy to see the three of them finally together. Next to King Aslan were two other warriors Piers and Seer. Apparently they were the children of his uncle, the former king. Lake and Lincoln stayed right at her sides.
“Our council is growing,” King Aslan said. “This is a good thing.”
“Indeed,” Aurora agreed. “Now tell us what news you have of the village and Lydia.”
“Lydia was not there when we arrived,” Lincoln stated. “They were not sure where she had gone, but then they were not sure of where the two of you were either.” He glanced between Aurora and Lynx when stating the last.
“Lydia travelled in the opposite direction of you towards the temple,” Rory said. “She was escorted there but Theron sensed no evil in the intent.”
“Why would she go to the temple?” Aurora asked.
“She had never gone to the temple,” Lynx added.
“It is said that the priestess, who served here when our mother and Lydia were here, fled to the temple when our mother was murdered,” Aslan said. “I believe her name was Serena.”
“The Priestess Serena is still at the temple,” Rory said. “We travelled there only weeks ago and saw her.”
“So Mom must have known the priestess then,” Lynx said. “She must have gone there for some reason.”
