Her mouth opened on a soundless cry as they sank their fangs in deep. Ed bit one side and Eli bit right next to where Erwin had marked her. Once again she felt like thick molasses was coursing through her blood, bright flashes of light sparked before her eyes and juices gushed from her pussy as she climaxed again.
She heard Ed’s muffled shout right before Eli grunted and then felt the heat of their cum as they filled her with their essence. Though she was still coming, lethargy consumed her, and although she tried to hold on to consciousness it was a losing battle.
She just hoped they caught her before she fell.
Chapter Twelve
Ed felt the moment Bid passed out and eased her down onto his chest. The moment he’d marked and claimed her was one of the most profound moments of his life. He had always had a connection with his flight pod brothers, but nothing had prepared him for how much more he would feel once Belinda was his mate. It was profoundly amazing because as soon as his teeth had sunk into her flesh, tasted her blood, and the chemical with his DNA had passed to her, he’d been able to feel everything his friends had too. He looked over at Erwin to see a sappy smile on his face and his stomach was covered in cum.
“That was…” Erwin sighed, rubbed a hand over his face, and then brushed the hair from Belinda’s face.
“You felt it, too,” Eli stated and chuckled when he saw Erwin’s condition.
“I can’t believe all three of us climaxed at the same time.” Ed wrapped his arms around Bid’s shoulders and kissed her head.
“It doesn’t even seem to matter that she’s asleep,” Eli said with awe. “I can still feel her emotions.”
“We all can.” Erwin sat up, grabbed his boxers from the floor, and wiped the cum from his stomach. “I can’t believe I came twice.”
“Lucky bastard.” Eli smirked and carefully withdrew his flagging cock from Bid’s ass.
“You’re just jealous.” Erwin stood and walked toward the bathroom. “I’ll run a bath for her. She’s sore.”
“Yeah.” Ed sighed, rolled over, and groaned when his sensitive softening cock twitched as it slipped from her body. “It was her first time.”
“I can feel the connection forming,” Ed whispered, so he wouldn’t wake her.
“I can, too. We can feel it more than she can.” Eli nuzzled his nose into her neck. “We all came the moment she did because we felt her orgasm. I never imagined anything like that was possible.”
“Me neither.” Ed sighed with contentment. “It was the most amazing experience of my life.”
“Mine, too,” Eli whispered.
“Same here,” Erwin said quietly as he came back from the bathroom. “Do you think she’s ready for a bath?”
“I think she’s out for a while.” Eli rolled from the bed.
Ed sat up and lifted Bid into his arms. “Help me clean her up and get her settled for a nap.”
Ed walked into the bathroom, stuck his foot into the large spa bath and after making sure the water wouldn’t burn his mate, stepped in and sat with her on his lap. She was so damn small and sexy. Her deep, even breathing never changed as he held her while Erwin and Eli washed her. When they were finished washing her, they dried her off and put her back into bed.
“We need to give her a day or two to recover,” Eli shifted on the bed until he was behind Bid, spooning her so she wouldn’t get cold. Ed moved closer and pulled her onto his chest. “Hey.”
“Hey yourself.” Ed grinned at the disgruntled Eli, who again shifted until his front was against Belinda’s back.
“I don’t want to ever leave her side,” Erwin said as he snuggled down near her feet with his arms wrapped around her legs.
“We don’t either, but we can’t be with her twenty-four-seven.” Ed glanced over at Eli and then down at Erwin who was draped over the bottom of the bed.
“More’s the pity.” Eli slumped onto his back.
“What are we going to do about the danger she’s in?” Erwin asked.
“We try and find where this Wally is and take him out,” Ed stated in a hard voice.
“I don’t know if we should do that,” Eli said.
“Why the hell not?” Ed frowned at his friend.
“He was our mate’s boss. How will she feel if we kill someone she knows?”
“Damn it! I didn’t even think of that.” Erwin looked at Eli. “So what the hell are we going to do?”
“I have no idea.” Ed sighed. “Maybe Lance has a few suggestions.”
“I fucking hope so.” Eli stared at Bid. “Is she all right? She feels a little hot.”
Ed placed his hand on her forehead and began to get concerned when he felt the heat emanating off of her. “Shit! Go and get Lance.”
Erwin and Eli got off the bed at the same time. Eli had his jeans on first and rushed from the room. Erwin hurried to the bathroom to get a bowl of water and a washcloth. Erwin, Lance, and Eli came back into the room at the same time. Ed had pulled the sheets up over Belinda’s naked body so that no one but him and his pod brothers would see her nakedness, but right now he was more concerned with the heat emanating from her. His kind were always hotter than the average human, but even he could tell just by touch that their mate was burning up.
“What’s wrong?” Lance asked as he moved closer to the bed.
“She’s too hot.” Erwin placed the bowl of water on the bedside table, dunked the clean cloth into it, wrung it out, and began to wipe it over Belinda’s face.
Lance sniffed the air before meeting Ed’s gaze. “You claimed your mate.”
“Yes.”
“That’s wonderful news, congratulations to all of you.”
“Thanks. Lance, why isn’t she waking up?”
“Her body is going through a change of sorts. A female mate will never be able to shift, but she does take on some of your DNA. I told you she would have enhanced senses and heal faster.”
“You didn’t tell us she would get sick first,” Eli said angrily.
“She’s not sick. Not really. Get her into a cool bath. That will help with the fever. This illness is just the human body’s way of dealing with foreign properties. She will be fine once your DNA has attached to hers.
“The mating heat not only affects you. Once she’s accepted the changes to her body, they will affect her, too.”
“How long before she wakes?” Erwin asked.
“Each person is different. She’ll awaken when she’s ready,” Lance answered.
“Are you sure we haven’t harmed her?” Ed asked.
Lance nodded.
Ed sighed with relief. He’d been really worried when he felt the fever on her skin. “Thank you, Lance.”
Lance nodded and left the room.
“Let’s get our mate cooled off, and comfortable.”
Eli gently lifted her into his arms and entered the bathroom. He waited as Erwin removed his pants and got into the tub first. Ed wanted to be the one holding her as they cleaned their mate, but they each needed to have her in their arms and he couldn’t deny his friend that privilege. He and Eli would get their time with her, too. He wasn’t jealous of either of his pod brothers, but now that they had all claimed Bid, the need to hold her was a great yearning. But he and his friends were going to have to control that craving around her, especially if they didn’t want to piss her off.
He smiled when he imagined her going toe-to-toe with them all because of their overprotectiveness, but there was no way in hell he was going to let his mate put herself in danger. She was theirs to love and keep safe no matter how much that may annoy her.
Erwin sucked in a noisy breath as he lowered his hot body into the tepid water, and when he saw goose bumps form on his friend’s skin, he was glad he wasn’t the one suffering. Although he would endure anything to have Belinda in his arms.
Eli gently lowered Bid to Erwin’s waiting arms and into the cool water. She whimpered as her skin began to pebble, but she still didn’t awaken. Ed knelt down, grabbed a cloth an
d bath gel, and started to wash her feet and legs. Eli took another cloth and washed her upper body while Erwin held her.
After she was clean and dried Ed helped her dress into one of his T-shirts. She was so little it came to mid-thigh, and then he nodded to Eli to carry her into his bedroom. When she was settled, he and his friends got into bed, surrounding her with their bodies and touching her in some way. Erwin was across the bottom of the bed this time and he and Eli were beside her, their bodies pressed against her. Ed knew his time to sleep down where Erwin was would be next, but for right now he savored the closeness of her soft skin against his.
Already her scent was changing, his and his friend’s scents were mixing with hers. It was subtle, her own natural womanly perfume superseding theirs, but any dragon shifter smelling her would know whom she belonged to and to stay away. He was glad that he could smell himself and his flight pod brothers on their mate. Not that he didn’t trust the other shifters in the lair, because he did, but knowing she was theirs to love filled him with joy.
He just hoped she would wake soon because he wouldn’t stop worrying until she opened her eyes.
* * * *
Bid felt so strange. She was deeply asleep yet could feel and hear everything going on around her. Her body wasn’t as hot as it had been since her mates had washed her in the cool bathwater, but she was still warmer than she would normally be.
She wanted to roll over onto her back but her body was so heavy and lethargic she couldn’t even lift her eyelids. Yet as she lay there with her men surrounding her she felt safe and protected. She had no idea how much time was passing as she rested there between them, but she was aware of things happening inside of her own body. Her skin was sensitive to every touch and she could hear her men breathing. Each breath they inhaled and exhaled seemed to get louder and louder. Each brush of their bodies against hers was unbelievably erotic and desire shot through her from the top of her head to the tips of her toes.
Each touch seemed to set her body on fire, but she couldn’t voice her wants and needs to them. Yet she was connected to them in a way she’d never been connected to any other person before. She could feel their worry for her and also their love. Even though they were three separate entities, she also felt like they were all one unit.
If Guinevere hadn’t come to speak with her in her dreams she may never have allowed these three special men to claim her. They were compassionate and loving, but they were also authoritative and confident. And they were hers. How she had been so blessed she didn’t know and wasn’t about to question her good fortune. All that mattered was being with them, learning about them, and loving them.
Finally the feverish heat and the leaden feeling in her body began to dissipate and she was able to pry her lids open to mere slits. The room was dark, but as the haze of sleep left she realized she could see nearly as good as if it were daylight. Her hearing was so much more and she could hear the slight rumble of other men snoring in their own apartments. Her men were sound asleep and although she wanted to wake them she didn’t. They hadn’t been asleep for very long since they’d been worrying about her.
With every minute that passed she felt more and more energized and her body ached to have her mates filling her, but first she needed to use the bathroom. It was difficult getting out from between them and she had to stop moving a couple of times as first Erwin and then Ed grunted in their sleep. When she had her feet on the floor, she nearly laughed out loud as Ed reached out with a hand searching for her.
A giggle escaped when she clasped his wrist, lifted and then placed his hand on Erwin's chest. He settled down and immediately started snoring again. She hurried to the bathroom, did her business, washed her face and hands and brushed her teeth. A shiver shuddered up her spine as the cooler air caressed her skin and goose bumps erupted over her naked body. But a little cold didn’t bother her, not when she had three men in bed whom she intended would warm her right up again.
Bid emerged from the bathroom to find Eli smirking at her and when he waggled his eyebrows she knew he’d seen her place Ed’s hand onto Erwin's chest.
“Come here, you naughty girl.”
Bid gave him an innocent look which she knew he hadn’t fallen for as he rolled from the end of the bed and stood up. She walked over to him, wrapped her arms around his waist, and hugged him.
“How are you feeling, honey?” Eli asked in a whisper.
“I feel amazing.”
Eli shifted back and looked down as he nudged her chin up. “Are you sure? You had us all pretty worried, you know.”
“I know, and thank you all for taking such good care of me. I think talking with Lance eased my mind and the bath helped lower my body temperature.”
“You heard us?” Erwin asked as he got up off the bed and came to stand beside her.
“Yes, and I felt how worried you all were.”
“It’s the mate bond forming.”
“Yeah, I figured that out.”
Erwin bent and kissed her gently on the lips. “I can feel your need, sweetheart.”
“It’s getting worse. I need you, Erwin. I need all of you.”
“That’s a good thing, darlin’,” Ed said as he walked up behind her. “Because we need you, too.”
“I ache deep inside and I feel like I’m on fire.”
“You’re going into the mating heat,” Eli said as he moved to her side.
“Do something! Please?”
“Take a deep breath, honey. We’ll take care of you.” And then Erwin’s mouth was on hers, but this time he kissed her wildly, passionately.
The flames burning her insides grew hotter and higher, her skin so sensitive to every touch and the relief of having their hands on her was short-lived.
Although her body was lax with desire it was also tense with a need so acute it was almost unbearable. She whimpered when Erwin broke the kiss but sighed as he licked and nibbled down her body. She moaned when he laved the tip of his tongue over one nipple and then the other before taking it into his mouth and drawing on it firmly.
Eli moved until he was standing almost in front of her and then he was kissing her. His tongue pressed into her mouth, swirled and danced with hers before gliding along it. Ed caressed up her stomach, over her ribs, and then lifted her breasts in offering to Erwin.
Erwin’s teeth scraped over the hard peak before he gave it a loving kiss and then he was moving down over her stomach. Ed’s hands kneaded and molded her breasts before he took both her nipples between his fingers and thumbs and began pinching and plucking them.
The fire was raging out of control. Her pussy clenched leaking out her juices and her clit throbbed. A hand nudged one leg out and she readily spread them wider just before a hot wet mouth covered her cunt.
She sobbed with need and pleasure when Erwin’s tongue flicked over her clit before licking down through her folds and dipped into her pussy.
Bid canted her hips forward in offering and pleading, and she cried out as her siren’s call was answered. Erwin nibbled on her clit with his lips as he pressed a thick, manly finger up into her vagina. Her muscles clenched around him pulling him in further and a gasp of pleasure left her lips.
Eli broke the kiss and then he nudged one of Ed’s hands from her breast and drew the nipple into his mouth. Electrical sparks of immense heat shot down to her pussy and she emitted a moan of passionate hunger from deep inside.
“I…can’t…take…much…more,” she gasped out between breaths.
“I can’t either.” Erwin growled against her cunt before lifting his head to meet her gaze. “I can feel your fire. It’s driving me and my dragon insane.”
“We can all feel her hunger,” Ed whispered in a hoarse voice before he lightly bit her neck.
“We will need to take her one after the other,” Eli rasped.
“Now! Please? I ache,” Belinda cried. She was in such need, tears began to well and trickle down her face.
Erwin stood up and kissed her hungri
ly. When he released her lips, the tears flowed faster.
Chapter Thirteen
Erwin couldn’t wait another moment. His whole body was trembling with a passion he’d never experienced before, and although his dragon was right at the surface, his beast didn’t press for dominance. His inner animal knew the only way for him and his flight brothers to help their mate was for them stay in human form.
With a nod to Ed and Eli, they stepped back and he lifted Bid up into his arms. She felt so good against his skin, her hard nipples pressing into his chest and her soft warm skin brushing against his. She immediately wrapped her arms around his neck and legs around his waist, and when she wiggled her hips, her creamy wet cunt rubbed against his hard aching cock.
“Erwin?”
“Yes, sweetheart. Hold on to me. I’ve got you.” Erwin shifted his hips and groaned when his cock pressed against her entrance. Her hunger was his hunger, her passion became his passion and he couldn’t hold back anymore. He drew in a deep breath and plunged in deep.
She cried out and for a moment he thought he’d hurt her, but when she moaned her next words he knew she was with him every step of the way.
“Yes! More! Give me more.”
Her legs tighten around his hips and her heels dug into his ass. Sweat broke out on his forehead but he didn’t care. All he cared about was loving his mate, making her come before finding his own release. He bent his knees, gripped the cheeks of her ass, and began to slide her hot wet cunt up and down his dick. Their panting breaths seemed to match, as did the beat of their hearts. His pounded in sync right at the same time as hers did. But that wasn’t all. Each time he shoved into her dripping cunt, her muscles grew tauter and although the fire was at a blazing roar in his pounding cock, it wasn’t enough to ease the ache for either of them.
