“Yes,” I said, bending to place a kiss upon her lips, my heart so full of love. “Of course, that means that you, young lady, will have to obey both your mates or else face having a hot ass.”
A beautiful flush painted her face and she smiled. “But I’m a much more obedient woman now. I doubt that will be a problem.”
My bark of laughter had her mouth dropping open and me shaking my head. “You are just too cute,” I said, easily capturing the hand she lifted to swat at me and bringing it to my lips. Tsking, I grinned. “I have no doubt you’ll be over my knees as well as Draco’s far more often than you think.” Bending my head, I gave her a soft kiss. “Cassandra, you are a special woman and we are both honored to be able to call you ours. I love you. Draco loves you. Can you love us both? Can you trust us to keep you safe, to make sure you know that you are everything to us? Can you accept that once you make this choice, you will have two men to discipline you, to accept your penance, to forgive you—to make love to you? You would need to obey, to submit to us both equally. If you can, then take this step with us. But know, that once we make the vow, the three of us will become one—for the rest of our lives.”
When she spoke, there was a shy smile on her red lips. “Yes, I am honored to make this vow with you and Draco. I am willing to embrace this new lifestyle, because, yes, I love you both.”
“Then it shall be done. We will make our vows together, it will mark a new beginning.”
“A new beginning.” Her eyes turned to mine, her gaze hungry for my affections.
I brought my lips to hers. Kissing my wife, I murmured over her contented sighs, “On that night, you shall be tied to the bed and spanked by both your mates, claimed by us both as well. We want to start out on the right foot.” She swooned as I trailed a line of biting kisses down the curve of her neck. “After all,” I murmured, “none of us ever make the same mistake twice.”
Later, as I held my sleeping wife in my arms, I stared up at the blue moon hanging bright and low in the inky sky. White stars dotted the vastness surrounding it. The second full moon of the month, it was fitting it was the Blue Moon welcoming us on our return home from a seemingly impossible adventure.
The same moon my ancestors had slept beneath, plotting, planning their survival, holding their dear ones to their heart, as I did now.
There was still so much to teach my Cassandra. So much more for my pack and me to learn of the ancient ways of the Ambrosias. I loathed the idea of my wife being in danger, but I was no longer alone. I’d share that worry with Draco—a man I trusted with my very soul. And having Cassandra by my side, her mind, her spirit, I knew now I could be the leader I was born to be.
Together, we would be victorious. My mind was not focused on defeating the dark as they come to attack. My mind was focused on the breaking of the curse. I swore, with my lifeblood, I would be amongst the final generation of Ambrosias to face this darkness.

Cassandra
Power comes in many forms, but I’d learned the immense power that simple words held.
It had only been a few months ago that two words had almost cost me the love of my life. Words I’d thrown out in anger, words I’d not even meant and yet they’d set things into motion that had changed my life.
Now, kneeling before these two men, I knew my very reality was changing yet again.
“We vow to guide you, to discipline you, to protect you, to love and cherish you until our very last breath.” The men spoke in unison, the sincerity in their voices, the love in their eyes causing my heart to feel as if it would burst. Each of them held one of my hands, fingers softly stroking across my palms as they asked the question that would begin our lives anew.
“Cassandra, do you vow to give yourself to us in all ways? Do you accept us as your mates?”
With only one word, I knew I would never be alone, never wonder if I was wanted, needed—loved. Three letters, one syllable and yet it was the most important word I’d ever utter. A vow I knew I would rather die than to break.
One little word.
“Yes.”
Both of my men, my mates smiled, the love in their eyes filling my heart, but the ceremony was not yet done.
Their free hands moved to caress my cheeks, as they completed the ceremony, softly speaking the words that filled my very soul.
“Do you vow that you are no longer one, we are no longer two? That from this moment forward, until the day we die, the three of us become one… a sacred trinity?”
Okay, one little word I repeated several times as tears slid down my cheeks. “Yes, yes, yes, God, yes!” I just couldn’t help it, I was laughing and crying, repeating the word again and again until the men gave my hands a tug, pulling me to my feet in order to sandwich me between them. Deo, my king, the leader of our pack bent down, murmuring, “I will love you for eternity,” a moment before his lips met mine.
Draco, my dragon protector, pressed against me from behind, his lips finding the shell of my ear, his softly uttered, “I will love you forever,” warmed my skin a moment before his lips closed on my earlobe, giving it a soft nip.
I’d felt their lips on me before, felt their hands on me in love as well as in discipline, and yet this was the first time I’d felt them at the same time. I couldn’t stifle the soft moan that a nip of my earlobe dragged from me.
“Our mate is so beautiful,” Draco said, his lips moving to nibble on my shoulder, his tongue laving a path that caused goosebumps to raise when he blew a breath across the trail.
I felt my heart skipping a beat and the white lace panties I’d chosen to wear becoming damp. Evidently, the matching bra didn’t offer much concealment as I could feel my nipples tightening, pulsing, pressing against the silk of my dress.
“And naughty,” Deo said, his teeth grazing along the hollow of my throat as I threw my head back the moment he cupped my breast. “We have yet to open the champagne to toast our vow and yet her nipples are already rock hard.”
“And I can smell her sweet honey,” Draco said, his hand moving beneath the hem of my dress and easily sliding between my thighs. A smile tugged at his lips as his fingers skimmed across the gusset of my panties. “Shit, Deo, she’s soaking wet!”
Their words were causing my knees to threaten to buckle, my hands reaching to grab onto them.
“Oh, God,” I moaned. “Please…”
“Please what?” Deo asked.
“Please take me,” I gasped.
“Oh, Cassandra, we aren’t going to take you,” Deo said, a thick thumb strumming across my nipple.
“That’s right,” Draco confirmed, showing us the fingers he’d pulled from beneath my clothing—the fingers that were now glistening with my arousal. “No, Cassie, we aren’t going to take you—we are going to claim you.” My pussy spasmed as he inhaled deeply, taking in my scent as if imprinting it on his brain.
“Both of us,” Deo said, his fingers closing around my nipple, giving it a squeeze.
“At the same time,” Draco said, moving his fingers to my lips. “Open,” he ordered and without hesitation, I obeyed. He slipped his fingers into my mouth.
“That’s it, suck his fingers clean,” Deo said, continuing to play with my nipples, first one, then the other, each twist, pull, tug, pinch driving me further toward the edge.
“Yes,” Draco said, slowly pushing his fingers a bit deeper, my tongue swirling over them, between them as he spread them apart, filling my mouth. “First you’ll suck my fingers, then you’ll suck our cocks.” With a grin, he pulled his fingers free. “Won’t you, little one?”
“Yes.”
“And while Deo fucks your sweet pussy, I’ll sink into your ass,” Draco continued.
“But not yet,” Deo said, bending to me again, a grin turning up the corner of his mouth. “Do you remember what I told you would happen this night, babygirl?”
If I hadn’t, the fact that both m
en’s hands moved to each take a globe of my ass, squeezing, fondling, stroking across it had that promise return in an instant.
“Yes… I remember,” I managed, my body threatening to self-combust from just the thought of what was to come.
“That’s right, little one,” Draco said. “Before we claim you, we must mark you.”
“Pain before pleasure,” Deo murmured, his fingers closing around my nipple as Draco took hold of its twin, both men squeezing the taut buds. “Are you ready? Are you ready to submit to your mates?”
“Yes, oh, God, yes,” I moaned, not caring how very needy I sounded. These were my mates; the men I’d been blessed to have as my own. I had learned that silence about what I wanted, desired, only caused heartache. I had no intention of playing the shy virgin. I’d given them my vow, my heart, my very soul. Now it was time to give them my body.

A Little Atonement
When Liam McCormick decided to take a vacation at his remote mountain cabin, the last thing he expected was to find his ex-fiancée waiting for him there. Elena Reeds was the love of his life, and when she called things off between them it broke Liam’s heart. Unable to stand the thought of her being sad and forlorn, he doesn’t hesitate to give her a second chance, but this time he isn’t going to let her run away from her need for a firm but loving daddy.
Soon enough Elena is standing in the corner to think about her naughty behavior before being taken over Liam’s knee for a long, hard spanking on her bare bottom. More embarrassing still, after the punishment she is shaved properly so everything will be fully on display for her daddy, then thoroughly and intimately bathed, dressed in cute pajamas, and put down for a nap.
Over the coming days, Elena grows accustomed to Liam’s stern discipline and tender care, and being held in his arms and made his own is better than anything she’s ever experienced. But when the time comes to leave the cabin and return to their daily lives, will Elena’s fear that Liam will lose interest in her come true or can he prove to her that she will always be his little girl?
