Into the Ashes [The Arcadians 2] (Siren Publishing Ménage Amour) Read online

  “I’m not sure,” she purred. “I think you might have fucked me to death.”

  Tristan chuckled then gritted his teeth as the movement caused his cock to harden inside her tight channel again.

  “Oh no, big boy,” she said with a laugh. “I need a time out.”

  He slowly pulled out of her, picking her up to cradle her limp body in his arms and sunk further into the water, cleansing her with loving strokes of his large hands. He watched her little pink tongue slide over her teeth and barely held back a groan at the sight.

  “How come my fangs disappear and yours don’t?” Raven asked.

  Tristan ran his tongue over his own fangs as he pondered her question, his hands never stilling as he stroked her soft skin simply enjoying touching her.

  “I do not know. Perhaps it is part of the conversion you went through that your fangs only appear when you want to bond with one of your mates?”

  She thought for a moment then laughed. His hands stilled as he looked at her in confusion. She waved a hand weakly at him and chuckled again. “I’m glad I don’t have them all the time, and you should be too or there is no way any of you would be asking for blow jobs.”

  Tristan frowned at her. “Blow jobs?”

  “Want me to suck your cock with my fangs dropped?” She smirked at him.

  He winced. “Nay. Although, I am just glad that you have them. The feeling of you drinking from me was like nothing I’ve ever known.”

  He brushed his lips against hers, wanting to show her the tenderness that he felt for her. “Thank you for this gift. It is your beauty that first captivated me, but it is your fierce determination and gentle heart that has made me love you. There will be no other for me, not in this lifetime or the next.”

  Raven sighed happily. “Thank you for making my first time wonderful. And if those two perverts watching brought me food, maybe I’ll let them join in the fun for round two.”

  Chapter Thirteen

  “We did not mean to interrupt.”

  Tristan snorted as Savitar and Kadan entered the clearing, both of them wearing a sheepish smile. Kadan was carrying a large bag, and from the smell of it, he had indeed brought food with him. Savitar carried a wooden box in his hands. He set the box down on the blanket then turned toward the pool with his hands on his hips.

  “Are we too early?” he asked, not in the least bit sorry.

  “Aye, go away,” Tristan growled, but his smirk took the sting out of his words.

  Feeling rejuvenated, Raven scrambled out of the pool and took a running leap into Kadan’s arms. He dropped the bag just in time to catch her, laughing as he twirled around in a circle. “It seems our mate does not mind that we came to save her from your sorry self, brother.” He kissed her gently, his glowing eyes bright with happiness. “Hello, sweetling.”

  She grinned at him. “Hi. Sorry, I got you all wet.”

  “You may greet me like this any time,” he said then raised a brow. “Perverts are we?”

  “Yep,” she said with a laugh then wiggled out of his arms and slowly walked over until she was standing in front of Savitar. She rose up on her tiptoes to kiss him and he leaned down to meet her. She felt the kiss rock Savitar’s soul, just like it did her. He growled into her mouth as his tongue mated with hers. She pulled back to wrap her arms around his waist and snuggled in against his chest, simply enjoying his embrace.

  Using his finger, he lifted her face to his. “You look happy.”

  “I am happy. My three very handsome mates make me happy.”

  Savitar’s gaze flickered down to the torque around her neck and he felt a surge of possessive hunger sweep through him so strong it almost brought him to his knees. “You are wearing our mating torque.”

  Raven lifted a hand to trace along the necklace. “I am, and I love it. But just to let you know, I expect all of you to wear one so the whole world knows you belong to me, too.”

  “We will gladly wear your symbol, mate,” Kadan growled as he pressed up against her back, letting her feel his erection poking at her through his leather pants. “There are three gold torques in the box for you to place around our necks.”

  Raven’s eyes widened then shifted down to the wooden box at their feet. “You brought them here?”

  “Aye.” Savitar looked at his brothers nervously. “We hoped…”

  “We hoped that you would complete the mating ritual with us,” Kadan said as he walked over. “But it is your choice. We can wait. Either way, you can still claim us with the mating torques if you are ready to take that step.”

  Raven knew she was ready.

  No longer conflicted, Raven embraced her new life and was ready for everything that came with being an Arcadian. Never one to back down from a challenge, she wanted them to wear the symbols of their mating, to be their partner and their queen.

  Her thoughts scattered as she was distracted by the droplets of water sliding down Tristan’s golden skin and eight-pack abs as he stood before her, naked. All of her mates had amazing bodies, built with heavy muscle, and she was eternally grateful that all of that eye candy belonged to her. Her eyes trailed down to see Tristan’s long, thick cock was rapidly filling from her attention. Just looking at his magnificent form had her wishing he was still inside her, their limbs entwined.

  Tristan let out a groan. “You cannot think that and expect me to be able to control myself.”

  Kadan picked the wooden box up and opened it so Raven could see three thick gold torques inside with a large ironstone embedded in the center of each. “Will you claim us with the mating torques and enter fully into our mating?”

  Raven realized she was standing in the middle of her three mates bare-ass naked and didn’t feel embarrassed or uncomfortable. Instead, she felt free from the restrictions she had placed on herself when she had always been careful to keep her guard up. This is what it felt like to trust someone completely. To leave herself vulnerable and know, without a doubt, that the ones she loved would keep her safe. She liked their heated gazes focused on her. She could feel their desire for her through their bond and it made her feel powerful.

  It made her feel loved.

  Her body already healed from her first anal excursion, she couldn’t think of a reason not to complete the mating ritual with them right here, right now. “Yes,” she said with a smile. “I want to fully mate with you.”

  Tristan picked up his pants as Savitar and Kadan began to kneel, but she shook her head. “Wait. Strip first.”

  Kadan’s eyes widened. “You want us to do this naked?”

  “Our little mate seems to have a wicked streak,” Savitar purred.

  “Why not?” Raven asked with a grin. She raised her arms above her head and spun, making all three of her mates groan with lust.

  “The sun feels fantastic.” She paused, lowering her arms to her sides and frowned up at the sky. “Wait a minute…Uncle Silas, you better not be watching us right now!”

  Tristan choked on a laugh as he threw his pants back down on the ground. “If he is, he sure got an eyeful a little while ago.”

  Savitar and Kadan’s jaws dropped. “Uncle Silas?”

  “Yeah, I sort of forgot to mention that part earlier,” Raven said sheepishly.

  “She was claimed as kin by the God of the Sun and the Goddess of the Moons when they shared their blood with her to complete the conversion,” Tristan explained.

  “You have the blood of the Gods running through you?” Savitar asked, incredulously.

  “We are doomed,” Kadan groaned.

  She rolled her eyes then gestured to her mates with a finger. “Okay, clothes off. I want to give each of you your torque then we are going to do the mating ritual in the pool like we are supposed to. Even if I am exempt from the ritual, I want to do it right.”

  Feeling like the pagan goddess Kadan had named her, she watched as Savitar and Kadan took off their clothing.

  Damn, this was better than any strip show she could have imagined.
/>   When her mates were naked, she felt her body heat with need at the sight of their beautiful bodies. They were identical, except for Savitar being slightly bigger than the other two. Still, she could tell them apart blindfolded. Their enormous erections slapped against their rock-hard abs as they turned to face her. She could feel their throbbing need for her pulse through their bond, heightening her own desire.

  “Okay, what do I have to do now?”

  Surprise flickered through her as all three men went to one knee in front of her, all of them looking at her with serious expressions. Savitar reached into the box and held out the first torque to her. She took it in her hands, looking down at the gold torque.

  It was more than just a necklace.

  It was a symbol of belonging.

  She could feel the need Savitar had to belong to her as she belonged to them. He was the oldest of her mates and the first of them that she had fallen in love with. He was a warrior, strong and sure, but inside where only she and his brothers could see, he had a sensitive heart that she would protect with everything she had. There was a special connection between them. They both knew the pain of feeling alone, even in a crowd. He was her partner and her gentle giant. She knew he would always use his enormous strength to shield her from harm and would always remain by her side.

  Raven placed the torque around Savitar’s neck, watching his glowing eyes burn with emotion as she fastened the clasp.

  Savitar solemnly placed a fist over his heart, never once looking away from her. “I claim you as my mate, for all time. I vow to shield you with my body, surround you with my love, and to always provide whatever you may need. I will love you until the very last breath leaves my body, then beyond, into the afterlife.”

  Tears filled Raven’s eyes as he finished his vow. She cupped his beloved face in her hands and pressed a soft kiss on his lips. “I love you, Savitar,” she whispered.

  She could sense the intensity of his feeling for her through their bond, but had still felt her heart skip a beat when he had spoken.

  Knowing the time was right, she smiled at him through her tears. “I have another gift for you.”

  His brows furrowed in confusion then his eyes went wide with shock as she took his shaking hand and placed it on her stomach. “Congratulations, daddy,” she said softly. She heard Kadan and Tristan suck in a harsh breath, but kept her complete focus on Savitar.

  “How can this be?” Savitar whispered, his golden eyes filling with tears.

  “Silas told me this morning,” she said, her voice breaking as she tried to keep it together. “It was our first time together.”

  Overcome with emotion, he dragged her body toward him, wrapping his arms around her tight and buried his head into her stomach. She stroked his hair lightly as she felt his tears on her skin. “Hello, little one. Daddy loves you,” Savitar murmured, making her own tears spill over.

  He pulled back and looked at her with love glowing brightly in his golden eyes. “You have given me my greatest dream. There are no words to express how much I love you. My love, my life…”

  “I love you, too,” Raven whispered.

  They shared a long, passionate kiss before she pulled back and stepped over to stand in front of Kadan. He held out the next torque to her, his own eyes filled with emotion. She could feel Kadan’s joy that Savitar’s dream had come true, but also his own happiness that he would be a father himself. She fastened the torque around his neck as he placed a reverent hand on her stomach. “Mother of our youngling. Thank you for the greatest gift you could ever give us.”

  Kadan was the middle brother and the serious one. He was her rock, patient and caring. He strove to do whatever he could to ensure her happiness. She had come to depend on his quiet compassion and unending love. She caressed his cheek with her hand and leaned down to press her lips against his. He returned her kiss, opening his mouth so his tongue could leisurely stroke against hers as he poured all the love he felt for her through their bond.

  When she pulled back, she gifted him with a watery smile. “I love you, Kadan.”

  He placed a fist over his heart. “I claim you as my mate, for all time. I vow to shield you with my body, surround you with my love, and to always provide whatever you may need. I will love you until the very last breath leaves my body, then beyond, into the afterlife.”

  She kissed him again then moved to stand in front of Tristan with the last torque in her hand.

  Tristan was her passion. Their journey together had not been an easy one, but he had strived to do whatever he needed to in order to make it up to her, even to his detriment. He had a poet’s soul and connected to hers with the beauty of his words and the heat of his touch. He spoke to the part of her that she had always kept hidden away from everyone. He let her be herself, quiet and gentle or wild and crazy. No matter what, he would be there for her and she loved him for that.

  “I love you, Tristan,” she whispered softly to him as she placed the last torque around his neck.

  “And I you, my beautiful mate. I will love you forever and beyond,” he repeated.

  She leaned down to share a passionate kiss with him before stepping back to look at all three of her mates and made her decision. “I want to do the mating ritual right now.”

  Raven barely held back her yelp as Tristan jerked her body to him. He gripped her hair in his hands as he kissed her again, slanting his mouth over hers, pulling her under.

  “In the pool,” Kadan ordered. “The first time she takes the three of us will be easier in the mating pool.”

  Tristan bounded to his feet, lifting her into his arms, and quickly carried her back into the pool. She wrapped her legs around his waist, her pussy creaming as she felt the base of his shaft sliding along her wet slit. Kadan and Savitar quickly followed them into the water and surrounded her.

  Raven let out a breathless laugh. “Aren’t you glad we were already naked?”

  “Aye, mate,” Tristan said with a grin. “I am, greatly.”

  Raven sobered as waves of apprehension raced through her.

  Savitar sat down on a rock submerged in the water and tilted her face so that she would meet his eyes. “What is it, my love?”

  “I’m just…I’m worried about taking two of you at once. I mean, the three of you. I want to, but—”

  “Shh, little one,” Tristan said softly as he nuzzled her neck. “We will go slow and if it is too much, we will stop. All will be well.”

  “Yeah, sure. I’ll be fine. This will be a piece of cake,” Raven replied, trying to convince herself.

  Tristan pulled back with a brow raised. “You are equating our bond mating to food?”

  Raven choked out a laugh. “No, it’s just a saying. This should be easy, right? Sorry, I don’t know why I am so freaked out by this.”

  Tenderness filled Tristan’s glowing eyes. “You are entitled to feel nervous, little green eyes. Do not worry. We will take care of you.”

  “Come here, my love,” Savitar commanded as he lifted her from Tristan’s arms. He placed her on his lap facing forward, her back pressed up against his hard chest. His hand moved down to stroke lightly over her clit, making her squirm. “You will enjoy this, Raven. First, I am going to push my cock into your ass. Once I have done so I will stay still, allowing for Tristan to enter your tight little pussy. Would you like that, my love? Would you like to feel both of us inside you?”

  “Yes,” Raven breathed out. She wanted it. She wanted to feel both of them filling her, but her desire was blurred with fear. Man up, she told herself. Women did this shit all the time. Well, at least here on Arcadia they did…

  “Shh, little goddess. Stop worrying and just feel. We will make you feel good, so good you will forget about everything but the pleasure we can give you,” Kadan said, reading the turmoil going on in her head. He moved to her side, his hands reaching up to cup her breasts and plucked at her nipples, setting her blood on fire and turning her insides into pure liquid heat. Sliding down one of his
hands, he took a firm grip of her leg and helped hold her open for his brothers as he leaned down and kissed her. His tongue leisurely stroked her, making her head cloudy with passion and distracted her enough for Savitar to move her into position.

  “Good, mate,” Savitar purred, his hands stroking over her thighs, pulling them open so they straddled his legs. He wrapped one arm around her waist and leaned back, taking her with him. With one hand he positioned the large head of his cock against the tight little rosebud of her ass. “Hold on, my love. Relax and let me in,” he whispered in her ear and pressed hard, parting the little hole until the large head of his dick popped in.

  Raven’s lips tore away from Kadan’s with a gasp. She focused on breathing slow and hard, like a diver before sinking into the deep as Savitar’s cock pierced her ass. Fucking hell, she wished she’d paid attention in that stupid yoga class her friend Allie had dragged her to, because meditation could certainly help when getting a giant alien cock shoved up one’s ass.

  The sharp pain of his entrance faded quickly, leaving her with a slight feeling of discomfort and fullness. All three of her mates made soothing sounds as their hands stroked over, trying to calm her. Her body relaxed and she lay back against Savitar, turning her head into the crook of his neck so she could inhale his comforting scent. Her breath caught as Savitar slowly sat up, her body sliding further down his shaft.

  “Oooh…”

  He stilled instantly. “Do you want me to stop?” he asked softly.

  “No. I’m fine,” Raven said, surprised that she actually meant it. “You boys better be damn thankful for this water or I’d never let any of you touch me.” A flicker of amusement had her relaxing more at the horrified expressions on her mates’ faces. “I was kidding guys. Relax, I’m fine. Better than fine, actually.”

  Raven squirmed on Savitar’s lap, testing how it felt. She pulled forward slightly then pushed back until he was seated all the way inside her. He growled in her ear as she did it again, lifting then sliding down on his cock to enjoy the sensations it caused.
