Transcend (Celestial Academy Book 3): A Reverse Harem Romance

by Maya Nicole

  I slipped around the other side of the building so they wouldn't see me and made my way towards my room.

  I knew I wasn't a slut, despite what others thought. So what I was having sex with four different men? We loved each other and supported each other.

  I opened my door and walked into my room, throwing my bag down and giving it a solid kick. That didn't feel like enough, so I kicked it again.

  "What the hell are you doing?" Tobias popped up on the futon, running his hand over his face.

  I jumped and let out a squeal.

  "Aren't you supposed to be at some kind of staff meeting?" I put my hand over my heart. "Jesus, that scared me."

  "Attending the staff meeting would mean I qualified as a staff member." He laid back down. "I was only helping tonight because Asher is a little bit of a loose cannon."

  I snorted. "That's an understatement."

  I kicked my shoes off and walked over to the futon. I lifted his legs and sat down, putting them back down in my lap.

  "You've been crying." He had his hands behind his head and was staring at me.

  I patted his leg and looked at the ceiling. "I'm not just the princess of hell, Eve, or demon spawn anymore. Just call me Danica, the slutty sex doll who has four boyfriends."

  "You aren't a slut." He shut his eyes. "They’re just jealous."

  "Being jealous isn't an excuse to sit around and talk about someone like they are an insignificant piece of trash. You know, if this was reversed and I was a man with four women, no one would say a word. If I were a boy and the son of Lucifer, everyone would think I was badass."

  He snorted. "I think you're badass."

  "You don't count." I looked at him and waited for him to open his eyes, but he didn't. "Are you all right?"

  He sighed and opened his eyes, choosing to look at the ceiling instead of at me. I could see the worry etched on his features.

  "I just want all of this to be over so we can move on with our lives. Together. Somewhere away from here." He sat up, his legs falling to the floor. "We should all just escape somewhere."

  I shut my eyes as he pulled me towards him. "That would be nice."

  "Somewhere tropical." He kissed my neck. "We can find an uninhabited island. Maybe build a treehouse like they did in The Swiss Family Robinson."

  "Mmm." I tilted my head to the side, giving him better access to my neck. "Don't know who they are, but keep going."

  "We can run around naked all day. Make love all night." His hand slipped under the back of my tank.

  "I need a shower. I was all sweaty earlier." His lips hovered over mine. "I could use some help getting out of these clothes."

  He ran his finger across the neckline of my top, sending shivers down my spine and a jolt of desire through my core.

  I half expected to have steamy shower sex, but Tobias undressed me then left the bathroom to let me shower. I considered using the showerhead because he had left me hanging, but decided against it.

  If Tobias wasn't in the mood, someone surely would be.

  I brushed out my hair and secured the towel around my body before stepping out of the bathroom. Tobias sat shirtless on the edge of my bed, a box next to him.

  "What's that?" I made my way to the bed and peeked into the box. "Holy shit."

  "Reve and I stashed it under the bed. I feel like tonight is a good night to try some of it out. Might be a nice distraction for us both." Tobias reached into the box and pulled out a pair of black leather cuffs that were fuzzy on the inside. They were attached together with another piece of leather.

  I clenched my thighs together as desire raced through my body. Talking about it was one thing, but knowing it was about to happen was something else entirely.

  "You and Reve..." I gulped. "You bought this stuff? Together?"

  I reached into the box and pulled out an eye mask and a stick with feathers on the end.

  "Reve has an online shopping problem. He told me he had purchased some fun things for us to try." He moved the box off the bed and grabbed my hips, pulling me towards him.

  I stepped in between his legs. "Do you two talk about sex with me or something?"

  He shrugged. "Things do take a little bit of communication between the four of us. Especially since we aren't all living together." He yanked my towel, and it fell to the ground. His eyes devoured me hungrily, and he ran his hands down my sides to rest on my hips.

  I gasped as he leaned forward and kissed near my belly button. "So you guys..." He pulled me to straddle his lap and trailed his lips over my breasts. "You decide who gets me when?"

  He chuckled against my sensitive skin, his beard tickling. "I wouldn't put it that way. It's just better if we’re all on the same page."

  I jabbed my fingers through his hair as he took a nipple in his mouth, swirling his tongue around and then biting gently. They could put a schedule up on the refrigerator for all I cared.

  "Dodgers," he mumbled, pulling away and looking at me. I raised my eyebrows. "That will be your safe word."

  I rolled my eyes. "I don't need a safe word."

  He put me on the bed and reached into the box and pulled out the cuffs, eye mask, and a pair of headphones. My eyes widened, and I held out my wrists. He laughed at my eagerness and secured them, moving them so they were on the pillow above my head.

  I was shivering with anticipation as he slipped the blindfold over my eyes and then the headphones. I'd never even thought about a lack of sound during sex, but as I laid there completely incapacitated, I saw the appeal.

  I could hear and feel my heart beating in my ears. He wasn't touching me yet, but somehow, I could feel his nearness on my skin. It felt as if electrical currents were jumping between our bodies.

  I moaned as minutes went by. I couldn't even tell how loud I was because I couldn't hear a damn thing.

  After what felt like an eternity, I felt something on my foot. It had to be a finger trailing up from the heel. I couldn't be sure. It was soft and warm, and then hands wrapped around my ankles and pulled me down the bed.

  "Tobias, you're killing me here." The only response I got was a finger trailing up my leg to my inner thigh, where it stopped and made circles.

  The desire between my legs blossomed, and I slammed my thighs shut on his hand. If I could hear or see him, I bet he would have been laughing.

  He pushed my legs open, and his finger was replaced by his tongue. I whimpered as it moved closer and closer to my apex. Just a little farther, and he'd be right where I wanted him.

  Nothing. The fucker stopped. I let out a curse and squirmed on the covers, the fabric of the comforter soft as silk on my skin. I had never stopped to appreciate how good the sheets felt.

  One side of the headphones was pulled from my ear, and a pair of lips came close. "Can I join in?"

  Reve.

  I nodded, words lodged in my throat. I heard both Tobias and Reve laugh as the headphones were put back in place.

  I was about to orgasm at the thought of not knowing who was touching me. Would I be able to tell who was who? I would have liked to think that I would be able to tell the difference between the two men.

  Hands touched my body. Mouths tasted my skin. Were they taking turns, or were both of them driving me mad with lust at the same time? They always took turns with me.

  "I can't take this anymore. Please." I was desperate for something to take away the ache between my legs.

  I was about to flip over and dry hump the damn sheets when a finger ran across my slit. Or at least it felt like a finger. For all I could tell, it could have been the tip of a penis. It definitely wasn't a tongue.

  It worked back and forth, and then a second finger was added. They dove into my wet heat and curled against that sweet spot that made my toes curl. Over and over, the fingers brushed the sensitive place inside my pussy, driving me mad.

  My body spasmed as my orgasm ripped through me like a freight train. I couldn't hear myself, but I'm sure someone standing outside would have been
able to hear me.

  A tongue flicked my clit, and my legs closed on instinct, the sensations of my climax still shaking my body. Could orgasms kill someone? I already felt another one about to split me in two.

  A body shifted over me. The tip of a dick touched my lips, and I opened my mouth to take it inside. I slid my tongue over the head. I couldn't tell who it was. I should have been able to since they had different dicks. I needed to pay more attention.

  My body trembled as he worked his length in and out of my mouth. I spread my legs, hoping whoever was unoccupied would get the hint.

  Teeth scraped across my thigh, and I cried out around the cock in my mouth. A tongue ran up the length of me.

  "Dodgers." I really couldn't take any more. I needed my senses back.

  The headphones came off first.

  "Really, you made the safe word Dodgers?" Reve's voice was amused, and as the eye mask was removed, his smiling face came into view.

  After my hands were freed, I rubbed my eyes.

  "You did well for your first time." Reve laid on his side next to me. He trailed a hand between my breasts and then rested it on my pubic bone.

  Tobias was sitting on the end of the bed, his eyes hooded with desire. I bit my lip and looked between the two of them. Tobias never minded a little group action, but Reve had never seemed too interested.

  I pushed Reve onto his back and lowered myself onto him, my thighs already quivering with the onset of another orgasm. I looked over my shoulder at Tobias, who was fisting his dick.

  "I have lube in the top drawer."

  His hand stopped, and his mouth opened a bit like he wanted to say something. Instead, he stood and opened my drawer, pulling out the bottle.

  Reve started moving his hips in slow rolls underneath me. I leaned forward, resting my forearms next to his head. Tobias's hand moved down my spine, and he trailed a finger between my cheeks.

  I buried my face in Reve's inked neck as Tobias squirted lube on his fingers and began stretching me. I wasn't an expert in backdoor play, but after the initial shock wore off, I found myself wanting more.

  His fingers left me, and the bed dipped as he positioned himself behind me.

  "Relax." Reve brought his hands to my face and moved my hair behind my ears. He stopped moving underneath me as Tobias slowly worked his way into my tight hole.

  "Fuck," I gasped. My entire body burned at the intrusion. It felt way better than the last time I had tried it but still was a foreign feeling.

  He took it slow; his breath was strained as he held back.

  "Oh, fuck," Reve moaned as Tobias began rocking his hips.

  My eyes felt like they were going to roll back into my head. Reve started moving under me, matching the pace Tobias was setting. The tips of my ears and my toes felt like they had pins and needles. I felt so full and safe between them.

  We should have done this sooner.

  Our bodies moved together like a boat rocking gently over waves. I dug my hands into the pillow under Reve's head.

  "More. Give me more," I gritted out, as my body loosened up more and what was already pretty amazing became magnificent.

  Tobias grunted behind me and increased his pace. My skin was damp with sweat as our skin smacked against each other with the driving of his hips.

  "Oh, God." Tobias thrust into me one last time before his body shook, and he spilled inside of me. He stayed in place as Reve dove into me harder than before.

  My hand went to my clit, my orgasm mounting from what felt like fifty different directions. Tobias's hand joined mine as I pressed into it.

  The orgasm, if it could even be called that because it was so much more, crashed into me with such force that I screamed out as all of my muscles seized up around Reve and Tobias.

  Reve cursed and joined me, my body collapsing on top of his.

  Tobias pulled out of me, the emptiness making me feel a longing to have him buried back inside me.

  Reve let out a laugh and ran his fingers through my hair before gathering it over one of my shoulders. I was still lying on top of him, spent from the orgasm that went into my own personal Guinness Book of World Records.

  "I might be old as fuck, but that was a first for me."

  I slid off of him and laid on my stomach next to him. "I find that hard to believe. All those centuries and never once did you get curious?"

  "Dream demons are monogamous even when dating someone. If we are lucky to find our mate, we get our strength from them."

  I was about to ask him more about that when Tobias reappeared with a washcloth. He cleaned me up and then laid on the other side of me, placing his hand on the small of my back.

  "Your ass okay?" He was so serious that I couldn't hold back the giggle.

  "It'll be fine." I moved to lay my head on Reve's chest. "Do you think I'm your mate?"

  Reve played with my hair. My eyes fluttered shut as my body relaxed.

  "I think that's the only explanation. I never had the chance to ask my father and mother how it worked. My father didn't often go hunting. I just assumed he kept prisoners and fed off them."

  "We should call it something else other than feeding." Tobias kissed my shoulder. "What you two have is so much more."

  "We could say he eats me. That's not inaccurate."

  Reve groaned and tugged my hair a little. "The way everyone acts around you, I'm beginning to think we are all your mates. I know that's not proper human lingo, but there isn't a word for it here, is there?"

  I drew a circle in the center of his chest around the tattoo of two skulls with crowns on the top of their heads. It made sense now.

  "And here I thought all I was, was a sex doll."

  Tobias squeezed my hip. "Stop saying that. Their opinions shouldn't matter."

  "I can mess with them a bit if you want me to. Really scare the shit out of them." Reve sounded like he meant business. The allure of having him fuck with those idiots was strong.

  I shook my head. As much as I wanted Reve to screw with them, I didn't want him to get kicked off-campus. We had been lucky enough as it was that he'd been permitted to be around. Besides, two wrongs don't make a right.

  "I love you two." I sighed. "What would I do without you?"

  I fell asleep for the first time in a long time, feeling like I was right where I should be.

  Chapter Five

  I stood on the sidewalk, the skyline on the other side of the river lighting the night sky.

  "Why do you keep doing this to yourself?" Reve appeared next to me and leaned on the railing. A railing that didn't protect someone's mother from throwing them over it and into the river below.

  "I can't control it."

  I turned towards the street, where a dark SUV sat idling at the curb. My father appeared with three goons surrounding him. Lilith's laugh filled the night sky.

  I looked up, the sky dark with clouds. Lilith laughed again, this time from right next to me.

  "Foolish girl. Did you really think everything was going to work out at the end of this?"

  Just as my father reached forward, I was standing in the middle of a lush green field with mountains all around.

  Reve gestured to a blanket and picnic basket laid out. "My lady."

  I sat down, my mind now on what lay before me. For being a demon, Reve certainly was romantic. I guess he did have a lot of years of practice. How many women had he even been with?

  "Where are we?" I opened the lid of the basket and pulled out a bottle of champagne. He took it from me and popped the cork.

  "A figment of my imagination." He chuckled. "Also, a merging of different locations I've seen in movies."

  "You have quite the imagination."

  He pulled out two silver flutes from the basket and filled them. He could never go wrong with champagne. He pulled out a container of strawberries and melted chocolate. I wasn't sure how the chocolate remained melted, but it was a dream, of that much I was sure.

  "I wish the others could be here with
us." I took a sip of the crisp champagne and scrunched my nose as the bubbles fizzed in my mouth.

  "They can be if you really want them to." It was the first time Reve had agreed to let me have them. I knew it wouldn't be the same as them in real life. "I'll have complete control of them." His grin grew as he watched my eyes widen. "Remember, you asked for it."

  "Reve," I warned.

  In the distance, three figures approached. I squinted my eyes because they were all the way across the field. As they got closer, a peal of laughter shot out of me. They were dressed in yodeler outfits, sans the shirts.

  "I think it's a good look for them, don't you?"

  I held my stomach as they got closer. They didn't speak at first, but then Tobias opened his mouth, and a yodeling noise came out.

  "Oh my God, make it stop." I fell back onto the blanket and covered my ears.

  The yodeling stopped, and Asher, Tobias, and Olly disappeared. Reve appeared over me, grinning from ear to ear.

  "You think you're so funny, don't you?" I lowered my arms from my ears to his chest. "You just have to have me all to yourself."

  "I do. Can you really blame me?" He lowered his lips to mine. "If we could stay this way forever, I would."

  I sighed and kissed him, wrapping my arms around him and pulling him closer. It would be so simple to stay in the dream world for eternity. Life would be easier.

  I felt the pull of my consciousness and pulled away from him. I didn't want him to go.

  He faded away.

  We fell into a comfortable pattern of classes, training, and pretending the world wasn't about to face an unknown threat. Weeks passed, and Michael still didn't have a plan on how to get Lucifer back.

  He was avoiding us. Well, mostly avoiding me. Every time he visited campus, he steered clear of my questioning gaze. No one else seemed to be as worried about the passage of time as much as I was.

  I guess when you are practically immortal, a few months feels like a few days. For me, it felt like years.

  I walked into the gym for Weaponry class. It seemed like a waste of time since I would never be allowed to see any action, even if demons were pouring into the city.
