Wicked Little Things

by Emma Dean

  Mika looked at Lucifer, surprised Samael would bow to him officially. The devil gave her a half-smile and a shrug. Her eyes narrowed as she felt that missing piece snag against her consciousness again.

  “I’ll tell you later,” Lucifer muttered. “Just…leave it alone for now.”

  Mika didn’t feel reassured. She found Kenzie in the crowd, who looked at Jess just as suspiciously. The only one who didn’t seem surprised or curious was Emily.

  Then Jace smirked at Mika.

  Fucking raccoons.

  “So, we move tomorrow night. And then what?” Mika asked.

  Hunker down and wait to die?

  “I just need you to defend earth. I will help the Morrigan search for my brother,” Lucifer said, eyeing Samael. “While Jessica convinces as many gods and goddesses in the hell realm as she can to take a stand against Azrael. If we can keep the war from spilling onto earth, we will. Be as prepared as you can though, just in case we fail.”

  Mika didn’t want to think about what it would take for so many gods, goddesses, demons, reapers, and hellhounds to fail.

  “All right, let’s get it done.” Mika hugged Lucifer and then Jessica.

  She still had no idea what she would say to the Council to get them to understand or approve of hell’s forces stepping onto earth. But she couldn’t fail.

  There were too many people counting on her.

  Ethan’s hand skimmed over her thigh and then her hip to rest on her waist. Mika sighed happily into Lucien’s chest. Some time with Ethan and Lucien in bed was exactly what she needed after everything that had happened.

  “I missed you two,” Mika murmured, running her fingertips over Lucien’s soft skin. He was so perfect it was hard to believe he was hers sometimes.

  Ethan’s hand gripped her waist hard, as if he knew just how close midnight was. “I can’t believe you almost died. Again. What am I going to have to do to keep you from falling into an early grave?”

  Mika didn’t say anything.

  There was no way in hell she could answer that without tipping Lucien off to the lie.

  “How was the den?”

  “The foxes agreed to come to Morgana.” Lucien kissed the top of her head and ran his hand up and down her spine soothingly. “I’d say they’re taken with you.”

  “And that spell they gave you, the portal will work?”

  “It’s better than trying to move the whole library. Though my Alpha has people working on the prep for that. Just in case.”

  The echo of Lucifer’s words made her nervous.

  “The dean would give her right arm for access to that library.”

  Ethan pressed a kiss to her shoulder. His body against her back, and Lucien’s against her front just felt so right.

  There was a knock on the door and Mika froze. “Mind if I come in?” Corbin asked, voice muffled through the door.

  Mika glanced back at Ethan, trying to gauge what he thought about it.

  Lucien chuckled and Mika felt a shiver run down her spine.

  This would be a new step for them. She’d shared Lucien and Ethan with each other more than a few times, and they’d always been so relaxed with each other after they’d figured things out.

  Every time she’d been with Corbin though, it had been alone.

  But Mika would never forget the way Ethan had told Corbin how he’d make the raven call him daddy.

  “If that’s fine with you Mika.” Ethan’s grin told her he knew exactly what she was thinking about.

  And here she was, naked with her fox and her storm witch, the scent of sex still hanging in the air.

  Why was she so fucking embarrassed? It wasn’t like Corbin was an idiot. He knew she was intimate with both Lucien and Ethan, but did he know how often she was with them together?

  “Yeah, it’s fine.”

  It would be weird to try and resituate herself. There was no way to look normal and Mika didn’t want to hide from Corbin either.

  She’d known that at some point they’d have to cross this line and figure out this part of their lives.

  Corbin, Lucien, and Ethan were all blood bonded to her. This was it for them. The bond was stronger than marriage – stronger even than the mating bond per some studies. Of course, they’d all end up living in the same house together eventually.

  “You’re blushing,” Lucien teased. “How adorable.”

  “I’ll stab you,” she hissed, pinching his nipple hard enough to hurt.

  Lucien’s yelp of pain happened right as Corbin opened the door, and the raven raised one eyebrow in question at them. “Am I interrupting?”

  Mika could start a fire from the heat of her blush. “No, you’re not.”

  Corbin eyed the three of them and his green eyes flashed red for a moment before he seemed to gather himself. “I can come back…later.”

  “Is everything okay?” she asked, feeling a jump of nerves as she tried not to think of everything that could have gone wrong in the few hours she’d taken for herself.

  Mika sat up and held the sheet to her chest, ready to just take the whole thing to the bathroom if she needed to, exposing Ethan and Lucien. It would serve them right for teasing her.

  The raven crossed his arms over his chest with that cocky grin and leaned against the doorjamb. “Everything’s fine, I was just coming to see if you still planned to train with Morgana tonight. I don’t think it’s safe for you to be down there alone right now.”

  “I can train up here,” she promised. “The landing platform is big enough.”

  Corbin’s eyes roved over Lucien first and then Ethan, his grin widening. “We have training rooms.”

  She didn’t know why her cheeks flushed more when he looked at the fox and the storm witch than they did when he was looking at her. “I prefer to be outside.”

  “It’s going to rain, if not snow.”

  “My face is up here,” Lucien said, pointing with that smirk she’d hated so much when they first met. “I’m not a piece of meat, raven.”

  Mika didn’t know what to say or do.

  These three had always pushed her. They expanded her horizons in every way – in life, in the bedroom, even in herself. Mika didn’t think she’d be able to do any of this shit without the person they’d helped make her into.

  And then…then there was the level of familiarity and comfort they had with each other. The boys had their own relationships and friendships with each other. She couldn’t be with them every second of every day.

  So, they’d hung out together, and watching how comfortable they’d become with each other was something that would never, ever get old. It made everything about her relationship with them a thousand times better.

  “Did you want to join us?” Ethan asked, stretching his arms above his head and then he put his hands behind his head with a smile that made her blood boil. He looked like he hoped Corbin would take him up on his offer.

  Mika tried to process everything that was happening.

  She knew when she’d invited Corbin in with her, Lucien, and Ethan still in bed that this was a possibility. Ethan had even asked if she was sure about this, if she was okay with the possibility in that subtle way he had.

  And she’d said yes.

  But seeing it firsthand was completely different than just the idea of it.

  “I wouldn’t be opposed,” Corbin drawled. “But I don’t want to intrude. Mika is easily flustered.”

  She glared at him, biting down on a retort. Mika knew he was trying to rile her up and she wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction.

  “All she needs is a few good rules,” Lucien murmured, running his hand down her spine. “So she can bend them to her will.”

  She turned her glare on her fox then. “I’ve never been a troublemaker until you.”

  “Yes, and I’m quite proud of that accomplishment,” Lucien chuckled.

  “What kind of rules?” Corbin asked, slipping his hands in his pockets, eyes glowing red. He
wasn’t even trying to hide his reaction anymore and Mika couldn’t help but notice the bulge in his pants.

  “Mika?” Ethan asked, nudging her with his knee.

  She bit her lip when she noticed how little the sheet was covering him. Mika eyed Ethan from head to toe, lingering on his abs and the way the sheet barely clung to his hips. Every line of his dick was clear with the way the fabric hung on him.

  “Yes?”

  They’d just had sex and now she felt as needy and desperate as she had an hour ago. Ethan’s smile and shoulders did things to her she didn’t think she’d ever get over.

  “What rules do you want?”

  “I don’t think it’s up to just me.” She scooted backward so she could see the three of them, and pulled the sheet with her, feeling modest thanks to all the hungry looks. They wanted to eat her alive.

  Mika couldn’t wait.

  She licked her lips and Corbin’s red glow flared, no doubt scenting her arousal just like Lucien could – like she could now.

  Mika could smell their desire, she could hear the pounding of their hearts, and she knew that the moment she gave permission all three of them would descend on her like some sexual fantasy.

  What exactly did she want out of this?

  Mika reached out for Corbin, wanting him closer. With everything going on, she needed them all. Mika needed to feel safe, she needed to feel loved and she just wanted to forget everything for a little while.

  She wanted to remember what she was fighting for.

  Corbin looked at her hand, and then searched her face before he took two steps across the room and gently took it, but still he didn’t climb on top of her bed.

  “Don’t feel obligated,” she murmured, lacing her fingers through Corbin’s. “I don’t want you to feel uncomfortable.”

  “I promise you, dove. I’m not uncomfortable.” Corbin reached out with his free hand and tugged the sheet out of her hand. “Are you?”

  Mika gasped when it fell, exposing her hard nipples to the cold.

  Lucien’s hand slid all the way up her spine, and he sat up, kissing her shoulder. “Tell us the rules, little witch, before we make them for you.”

  Ethan was content to watch. She could feel the heat of his gaze on her back, waiting for her to decide.

  Because Lucien was right, they’d make the choices for her rather than walk away right now. They all needed each other too much for that.

  Mika’s hand gripped Ethan’s thigh and she tugged Corbin closer, forcing him onto the bed. The raven grinned as he crawled toward her, eyes never once leaving hers.

  “Rules, Mika,” Ethan repeated, wrapping his fingers around her wrist and squeezing. “I promise the ones I make won’t be as fun.”

  Her heart flipped and Mika couldn’t look away from Corbin, his teasing smile agreeing with Ethan…as if they’d already talked about this.

  “Make the rules, Ethan,” she whispered, gasping when Corbin gripped her chin and yanked her forward, so their noses just barely touched.

  He didn’t kiss her yet, but his free hand slid up her inner thigh over the sheets, knuckles brushing against her clit before he trailed them over her stomach, her breasts…she was breathless as she waited to see what the raven would do, but Corbin was waiting for Ethan to make the final call.

  There was no way she was ready to make the rules for this kind of situation. Ethan knew her better than she knew herself when it came to the bedroom, and Lucien always took his lead when they shared her.

  Corbin held her face in both of his hands and caressed her cheeks with his thumbs…waiting. “Make the rules, witch,” Corbin growled, voice practically throbbing with need. Mika could see it through his black sweatpants too, the dark fabric hiding nothing.

  “Corbin isn’t interested in men,” Ethan murmured, hand still wrapped around Mika’s wrist. “At least not yet.”

  He yanked and she fell backward, but Lucien was there to catch her before she landed on Ethan. Slowly, the fox lowered her until her back was flush against Ethan’s chest and her breathing became erratic when his hard cock pressed against her ass.

  “I could be persuaded,” Corbin whispered, searching her eyes. “But why rush things?”

  “Why indeed,” she managed, watching as Lucien slid off the bed to walk around.

  The fox stood behind Corbin and yanked his tank top up, forcing the raven to release Mika.

  Lucien smirked at the resulting snarl. “Can’t do shit with your clothes on, pretty bird.”

  His quip broke some of the tension and Mika laughed when Corbin turned that ruby glare on Lucien. Her laugh died when the raven very obviously inspected Lucien’s naked form from head to toe, lingering on his hard cock.

  Fucking hell, what had she gotten herself into.

  “How do you feel about trying something new?” Ethan whispered into her ear. “Something that would let you take two of us at the same time?”

  She closed her eyes and licked her lips, her entire body standing up and paying attention to that.

  Part of her wasn’t even sure it was physically possible to have two of them inside her at the same time. It wasn’t like they were small, or hell, even average.

  “We’d take it slow,” Ethan promised, his massive hand pressed to her stomach, pushing her harder against him. He ground against her ass and she bit her lip as she thought about having him like this…

  With Corbin on top of her.

  Mika still didn’t say anything.

  She was so wet it was embarrassing.

  And Corbin smirked at her – watching her watch as Lucien slipped his hands inside the waistband of Corbin’s sweatpants to slide them down until his dick sprang free and the raven stepped out of them.

  “Go on, give us a twirl,” Lucien said, stepping back to admire Corbin and the tattoo that went down the entire right side of his body.

  Surprisingly the raven obliged and Mika found herself smiling again.

  It must be the blood bond between them, because all three of them could read her like a fucking book before she even knew what she was thinking or feeling herself.

  “What about Lucien?” Mika finally asked, turning to admire her fox.

  She wasn’t sure how it was going to work with all four of them. Leaving someone out didn’t feel right either. Lucien wasn’t a voyeur like Ethan was.

  “Fuck, Mika,” Lucien practically growled, prowling toward her like the predator he was.

  The fox yanked her forward until she was in his arms, dick pressed against her center, his hands gripping her hair hard enough it stung, but it felt so good at the same time. He kissed her rough, sharp teeth breaking the skin to claim her.

  Lucien loved making his small claims, putting them where everyone else could see them—taste them.

  “When you look at me like that…” Lucien took a breath and she buried her hands in his long, silky hair. He rested his forehead against hers and Mika held him close.

  Whatever fear they’d had when she’d been gutted by her brother…it still wasn’t gone, and she could feel it trying to choke them every time they all let their guard down for just a moment.

  “It’s okay, I’m okay.”

  “I love you so much, Mika.”

  She could taste the words on her lips, written in her blood. “I know, Lucien, I know. And I love you.”

  Corbin came up behind the fox, the same pain in his eyes as well, and he wrapped his arms around Lucien’s waist and hugged him. Mika looked up at her raven, still holding Lucien close to comfort him. The way he looked into her soul—her eyes…

  “You’re not allowed to leave us,” Corbin gritted out, eyes blazing bright enough to light up the whole room.

  “Don’t worry, pretty bird.” Ethan’s deep voice washed over her and he sat up, hands gripping her hips so tight he marked her in his own way. “That’s not going to happen. I won’t let it.”

  It didn’t matter that Ethan wasn’t the most powerful creature on this earth.

  She
believed him.

  “I’ll take care of Lucien,” Ethan whispered, wrapping his hand around the fox’s hard dick, squeezing slightly so that Lucien jerked against his hand and into Mika.

  She closed her eyes and bit her lip as she thought about the proposition. “Yes, I want that.”

  “Want what?” Ethan demanded, moving his hand from Lucien to her, stroking her clit slowly, making her back arch.

  “I want you both at the same time,” she whispered. “I trust you, all of you.”

  Ruby and gold eyes stared down at her, and then Lucien kissed her long and slow, enjoying the taste of her. Then he slid to the side, kissing her throat, hands on her waist.

  Corbin moved to fill in the gap and she pressed her hands to the raven’s chest, looking up into the eyes that promised death for everyone but those he cared about.

  “You’re sure?” he asked, never once looking away from her.

  “Are you?” Mika took a deep breath, shoving down the desire for just a second. “I don’t want you to regret anything.”

  “With you? That’s impossible,” the raven murmured, leaning down to kiss her. “I promise I’m good with this, that I want it.” His mouth was warm and soft, his hands on her ribs gentle.

  Mika was awash in sensation with all three of them touching her, caressing her, kissing her. Then she felt Ethan’s hand trail down her back, over her ass, and she shivered in anticipation. It disappeared for a second and when it came back it was slick with lube.

  “Just relax,” Ethan murmured, sliding a finger inside her.

  She wasn’t expecting to like it as much as she did. Mika groaned, wrapping her arms around Corbin’s neck when she practically collapsed at the sensation. All three of them cursed as her pleasure spiked through them.

  Mika could feel their desire and need wrapping around her like silk, tying her down and restraining her just so they could make her beg with their love and attention.

  She was in so much trouble.

  Ethan’s finger in her ass became two, stretching her, getting her ready. Mika couldn’t speak, she couldn’t do anything but press against his hand, wanting more. Every inch of her skin was on fire. It was so sensitive that when Lucien pinched her nipple she gasped, and Corbin started stroking between her legs, his hard-on pushing against her stomach – patiently waiting.
