He was flipped once again, ending up in Onyx’s lap with his back pressed to the warrior’s warm chest. Onyx lowered him slowly over his rigid cock until Echo’s cheeks settled against the man’s thighs. Fiero knelt in front of them, attacking Echo’s mouth with such intense hunger, Echo felt devoured.
Long fingers gripped his turgid length, stroking him roughly as Onyx thrust up into his aching hole. Eyce knelt behind Fiero, working his cock into the demon’s ass as Vapre leaned over Eyce’s back, doing the same.
Breaking the kiss, Echo looked to the side as he gasped for air. Hex drove into Myst’s hungry ass with wild abandon, and Syx fed his cock to Myst’s mouth, jerking his hips forward and pushing his dick to the back of the warrior’s throat.
Too much. The pleasure, the desire, everything was too much, and Echo felt himself slipping as Onyx’s cock retreated, leaving him empty, then slammed in again to stretch his inner walls to the max.
“I want you to come,” Fiero growled against Echo’s throat. “Come on my hand, milk Onyx’s cock, and scream until everyone in the state can hear you.” He gave a sharp twist of his wrist around the head of Echo’s leaking cock, and Echo had no choice but to obey.
Throwing his head back on Onyx’s shoulder, he screamed to the heavens as his release rippled through him, tightening his belly, and speeding up his throbbing dick. Cum gushed from his slit, bathing Fiero’s hand and wrist just as Onyx gave a deep growl, and wet heat filled Echo’s tunnel once more.
Fiero grunted, releasing Echo’s cock and burying his face in Echo’s neck as he began stroking himself roughly. Echo watched with heavy-lidded eyes, reaching down to brush his thumb over the head of Fiero’s engorged cock.
The warrior exploded, roaring out his climax as sticky ropes of scorching cum burst from his dick to splatter over Echo’s chest and groin. Then Fiero dipped his fingers in the warm spunk and lifted them to Echo’s mouth.
Echo sucked them right in, licking the salty cream from Fiero’s digit as he moaned and writhed in Onyx’s lap. He felt like a total slut, and loved every fucking minute of it.
Grunts, growls, and groans signaled the others’ climaxes, echoing around their little private paradise. Then somehow, they all ended up slumped together in one big pile of damp, heated bodies as they each struggled to catch their breath.
Fiero’s head rested in the crook of his neck, and Echo smiled serenely as he combed his fingers through the man’s short hair. He longed to say the words in his heart, but he didn’t want his men to feel pressured to return the sentiment.
Sighing happily, Echo kissed the top of Fiero’s blond spikes before closing his eyes and resting his head on Eyce’s arm. If his life in the lab had taught him anything, it was how to be patient.
“I love you,” Eyce breathed against his ear, so quietly Echo knew he had been the only one to hear it.
“Ditto,” he murmured sleepily. He’d never get tired of hearing those three little words.
One down and six to go, he thought to himself just before he drifted off to sleep.
* * * *
“Hey, can you guys come in here for a minute,” Syx called from the living room.
Eyce looked around the table at the other men then shrugged and stood, motioning for them to follow him. Congregating in the living room, everyone stood in a circle, staring at Syx and Vapre.
“Echo, baby, can you come here?”
Echo looked confused, but nodded as he crossed the room to stand directly in front of Syx. “What’s going on?”
“Sit down.”
Easing down to the edge of the couch cushion, Echo looked over at Eyce and frowned. Eyce didn’t know what the hell was going on either, but he smiled at his mate, hoping to reassure him that whatever it was, they would all stand behind him.
Syx and Vapre knelt in front of Echo, and rested a hand on his knees. “You wanted to know where we’ve been going, and what we’ve been up to, right?” Vapre asked.
Echo nodded again, but didn’t say anything.
“Well, we’ve been trying to find some kind of birth record or family tree for you,” Syx admitted. “We’ve done hours of research on the internet.”
“We took a sample of your hair to this genealogy research place in Seattle,” Vapre added.
Eyce’s chest constricted at the hopeful look in Echo’s eyes. Judging by the strain on Syx’s face, their search hadn’t been very successful.
“I’m sorry, baby,” Syx whispered. “We tried everything we knew to do, but we can’t find any traces of you, or anyone that even has a similar genealogical DNA strand as you.”
Echo was quiet for a long time, and Eyce wished for the first time ever that he possessed Syx’s gift so he could hear his mate’s thoughts. He wanted to badly to wrap the little man up in his arms and promise to love and cherish him forever. This time was for Syx and Vapre though, and he’d respect that.
“Thank you,” Echo finally whispered. “That you went to so much trouble to help me find out who I am means a lot.” His bottom lip trembled, and his eyes looked a little misty. “I really appreciate it.”
“I’m sorry we didn’t do better. We can keep looking,” Vapre hurried to add.
Echo shook his head slowly. “No. I love that you did this for me, but I don’t need to know where I came from or who my family is.” His hands shook as he reached up to caress fist Syx’s cheek and then Vapre’s. “You are my family now.” Lifting his head, he looked at each man in the room. “You are all my family. I don’t need more than this.”
Eyce swallowed hard, his eyes and throat burning with the effort to hold back his emotions. Since when did he get choked up about things like this? Meeting Echo’s eyes across the room, he had to smile as the answer stared him right in the face. Since a little imp had shown up on their doorstep and turned his entire world on its ear.
“Why didn’t you let the rest of us in on this?” Onyx demanded.
“Because you guys can’t keep a secret for shit,” Vapre responded flatly.
“Yeah, I can agree with that.” Myst snorted and clapped Onyx on the shoulder. “We really do suck at the secret stuff.”
“So, what do we do now?” Echo asked.
Everyone turned to look at Hex.
“We get ready for the next new moon.”
“Fiero’s test,” Echo mumbled with a slight nod.
“Hey, who said I was up next?” Fiero fisted his hands at his sides, and the little vein in his temple began to throb. Eyce could already tell the next few weeks were going to be hell.
“Raining fire?” Echo rolled his eyes and huffed. “Who else would it be, Fiero?”
“Why are we even being tested anyway?” Fiero demanded. “We’re supposed to fight some epic battle at the autumnal equinox. Isn’t that enough?”
“Yeah, it doesn’t really seem like Hades’ style either,” Eyce agreed. The god wasn’t exactly known for a merciful nature or fair play.
“But Ares said he was leading the army for his uncle,” Echo argued.
“Ares is a prick and scumbag.” Murmurs of agreement went around the room at Eyce’s statement. “I have no doubt the war is coming from Hades. These tests, however, just don’t fit.”
“Well, it doesn’t really matter who’s setting these tasks for you.” Echo chewed on his lip for a minute before continuing. “The point is they’re coming, so we still need to prepare.”
As much as he hated it, Eyce had to agree. “I think we need to find out more about this lab, as well. I don’t think we’ve heard the last of them.”
“Is anyone else concerned that Ares just left so easily?”
“Not really,” Hex answered. “That’s pretty much his standard operating procedure. Come in with a bang, throw his weight around, then disappear before you have time to question anything he says.”
“It sounds like you know from experience. This isn’t your first run-in with the douche, is it?”
Eyce chuckled darkly. “He’s got some kind of weird obs
ession with Hex. He tried to lure him to the dark side when we first escaped Hades. He’s made a couple of appearance since then. Nothing like this, though.”
“He’ll be back, won’t he? I mean, before the equinox?”
“Yes,” Eyce responded as everyone nodded their agreement.
“I knew you were going to say that.” Echo sighed heavily. “Okay, well, I guess we better get started. There’s a lot to do and only two weeks until the next full moon.” He tilted his head to the side as though listening for something. “Where’s Gage and his mates?”
“They went into town to get Mac and Sony some clothes. They’ve been wearing yours, but you’re actually a bit smaller than they are. Besides, it will make them feel more comfortable to have things of their own.”
Echo beamed at Hex. “That’s a wonderful idea.” Then he pushed to his feet and clapped his hands twice. “Okay, move your asses. Myst, I’m hungry. Syx, Vapre, you’re in charge of research. Fiero, Hex, this place looks like a tornado ripped through it. Eyce, Onyx, the laundry is not going to do itself.” He stretched his arms over his head and yawned. “I’m going to take a nap.”
“I love it when he gets all bossy,” Onyx said around his grin. “I’m glad we decided to keep him.”
Myst growled and threw his hands in the air in exasperation. “He’s not a fucking puppy!”
Eyce doubled over in laughter. Things had been good between them before Echo came into their lives, but he couldn’t ever remember laughing so much. It was good to know that if he had to live forever, at least he’d never be bored.
“Wait, I have one more question.” Everyone turned to look at Onyx. Eyce was surprised to find the man staring right back at him. “Why the hell are your eyes blue all of the sudden?”
Eyce smirked and shook his head. “I have a theory, but I’m not telling yet.” Then he turned and started to swagger out of the room.
“Just a little hint,” Myst called after him.
Eyce’s grin stretched across his face, and his heart galloped inside his chest. “I got the first one.”
