Yet.

  Give it time, I was probably not done with the weirdness. Or it wasn't done with me.

  He chuckled again. "No, but my insides are burning up." He reached for the hem of my shirt and tugged it up and over my head. He tossed it aside and unhooked my bra after a few tries.

  "I've never done that before," he admitted as he cupped my breast and ran a thumb over my nipple. "I've thought about this a thousand times."

  "Only a thousand?" I teased.

  "At least that."

  I helped him out of his shirt and ran my fingertips down his abs. "What do you have under there, rock?"

  "Just hard work," he assured me. "And pizza."

  "Pizza makes for great abs?" I asked. Hells yeah. If that was the case, I would eat more of it.

  "No, but it's a great reward for working out."

  "I don't think that's how it's supposed to work." I shuffled down a little and ran the tip of my tongue over his firm torso.

  "No?" He tangled his fingers in my hair.

  "Nuh-uh." I shook my head and undid the front of his shorts. I thought he might have been turned off by the guys outside the window, but his erection said otherwise. His cock was hard and hot in my hand. I licked his tip and tasted the bead of cum which had already formed there.

  "You might want to save some of that." His voice was strained already.

  "Good point." But I still sucked the head of his cock a few more times and massaged his balls with my fingers and nails.

  When he groaned, I moved away and tossed my shorts onto the floor.

  "Tease," he said jokingly.

  "You'd better believe it." I grinned and lifted my hips as he pushed my panties off them and down my legs.

  His eyes raked down my body, taking in every bit of me. "You're also the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. I'm the luckiest guy on the face of the planet right now."

  I felt Leo's response through our bond. I thought he might joke around, but he agreed with Dyson and was turned on. That in turn heightened my own arousal. Bonding with all the guys might get interesting if I was turned on every time they were. I had a healthy enough sex drive as it was.

  "You're going to make me blush."

  "I'd prefer to make you scream." His mouth closed on my nipple. He drew it in between his lips and sucked like I was a delicious morsel.

  "That could happen too." I arched my back, aroused as hells by his touch, but also knowing the guys were listening. In some ways, it was almost more enticing than having them watch. This way they would have to use their imaginations to visualise what might be going on inside. If theirs were anything like mine, it would be wild.

  "There's something you should know," Dyson said around a mouthful of nipple. He swapped to the other, leaving the first to glisten in the light of the candles the other guys had lit for us. "I've never done any of this before. With anyone."

  He lifted his head and looked at me as though he was worried about how I'd react.

  "I thought you might not," I said gently. "Or you might have bonded with them."

  He cocked his head to the side. "That's true. You don't mind?"

  I held his gaze with mine and hoped he saw my desire. "I'm honoured," I said firmly.

  He smiled with relief. "I want you so bad."

  "I want you too." Mostly because I just did, but part of me was dying to know if the bond would form or not. If it didn't, I wasn't sure who would be more disappointed, Dyson or me. Or Kane, who apparently has almost as much invested in this. I was surprised he wasn't sitting outside with the others. Then again, maybe he was and was just more quiet than they were.

  The idea of him listening in made my skin tingle all over. My imagination threw Blake in as well, then they started to touch each other…

  Dyson rolled me onto my back and lay between my spread knees. With most of his weight on his huge arms, he leaned in to cover my mouth with his.

  I returned his kisses with all the heat which rushed through my veins. I opened my mouth and teased his lips.

  I rolled us both until I straddled his hips. He looked up at me with such love, my heart reacted a little harder. I sensed he forgot about the guys outside. This was all about us now.

  I positioned myself over his cock and slid down his cock. Tentative at first, then a little deeper.

  He groaned. "I didn't know you'd feel so amazing." He closed his eyes, an expression of pure bliss on his face. "I mean, I suspected." He caressed my breasts lightly, thumbs brushing over my taut nipples.

  I laughed softly. "Same to you."

  Let's face it, not all cocks are created equal. They're all epic, but they feel different. Not different bad or necessarily different good, just different. And this one I was enjoying thoroughly, deep inside me.

  "You think so?" He cracked open one eye and gave me a lopsided smile.

  Of course Dyson would crack jokes during sex. It was another part of his charm.

  "Absolutely. I've imagined this since I first saw your dick. This is next level amazing."

  "Thank you, on behalf of my dick and I." He closed his eyes as I rose and fell, riding him slowly.

  "You're welcome." I closed my own eyes and let my arousal and Leo's carry me closer to the edge of the abyss. I wanted to tumble over, but not yet. First, I wanted to savour the first time between Dyson and I. It had been a long time coming.

  Pun intended.

  "Peyton," Dyson whispered.

  "Yes?"

  "I love you."

  "I love you, too."

  He rolled us over again and pulled out of me and rolled me onto my side.

  "I want to be able to see your face better." He gently guided one of my legs over his and opened me up to him. One hand cupped my cheek, the other guided him back into me.

  We lay there like that for what seemed like an eternity, eyes locked on each other, his thrusts slow but rhythmic. My passion simmered, coming closer and closer to the boil.

  After a long while, he increased his speed. He reached in between us to gently caress my clit.

  "Come for me," he whispered.

  I drew my lower lip in between my teeth and bit gently. I wanted, needed to come, but I didn't ever want this to end.

  He rubbed a little harder, always at the right angle, in exactly the right place. Maybe we had formed a bond already; he was that in-sync with my body. Maybe he just knew where to find a clit.

  I puffed a breath out my nose, then another.

  The pressure built until I couldn't contain it any longer. I threw back my head and cried out, long and low as my orgasm rocked my from the top of my head to the tips of my curled toes.

  "Ohhh, Dyson," I breathed.

  "Peyton…" He thrust harder still and grunted.

  My eyes snapped open the moment he came.

  I felt his body tense.

  His cock, hard and deep inside me squirted cum like a fountain of heat and magic. It flooded into me, through me. It traveled from my belly through every drop of my blood, every organ, right up into my heart, my mind.

  It was different to the one Leo and I had formed, but it was undeniable.

  We were bonded.

  The profound silence was broken by Leo's shout of triumph. "You blokes owe me ten bucks!"

  14

  "So, did you feel anything?" I pulled out a chair and flopped down beside Nash. I stifled a yawn and stole a slice of Vegemite toast from his plate. After Leo's shout, the guys had left Dyson and I to enjoy the rest of the night in peace. And enjoy it we did, twice more. When I crept out of bed, he was still snoring.

  I smiled at Kane who had been scrolling madly through his phone, but now put it aside.

  "Yeah." Nash scowled as I bit into the toast. "I felt the bond form. I was right, it is just magic."

  "It sounds to me like the release of a pheromone," Kane said. "In animals, they help to attract a mate. In humans, too. Basically it…influences the behaviour of the other person, or people."

  He gave me a lopsided grin that looked s
o much like his twin, my heart skipped. I adored both of them so much. I couldn't imagine my life without them.

  "So this magic pheromone created a bond?" I asked.

  "Pheromones can work to synchronise two creatures, so basically, yes." Kane nodded.

  I considered for a moment. "Was it something I did last night that did it? A conjuring I didn't know existed until Leo?" I scratched behind my ear. "That doesn't explain how he and I formed a bond too, though. He can't do magic, can he?"

  "He's a shifter, more or less," Nash pointed out. "That in itself is magic."

  I nodded slowly. "Of course it is."

  "Bond-forming and shifting might be his only magic. Dyson's too, evidently." Kane grimaced slightly.

  I leaned over to cover my hand with his. "What you do with your tongue is magic."

  He flushed bright red and mumbled his thanks.

  "You didn't consciously do magic?" Nash asked, interrupting the awkward moment.

  "No, I just…enjoyed myself," I replied. "Why? Did it feel as if I did?"

  Nash picked up his mug of coffee and held it without drinking for a few moments. "Not that I could tell, but all I know is magic flashed between you two and the bond was there."

  "Magic cum," I mused.

  "That or you have a magic pussy," Kane said.

  "She certainly has that," Nash agreed.

  Now I blushed. "Maybe it needs both."

  Nash frowned. "That's something we could try."

  I raised both eyebrows at him as high as they'd go. "Are you planning to use Dyson's cum to create a bond?"

  His mouth dropped open in surprise. "I wasn't, but now you mention it—"

  "I suspect it will only work once," Kane said. "It's caused its chemical—or magical—reaction. It might work with someone else, but not with Peyton again."

  "What will then?" Nash asked. "Regular magic?"

  Kane rubbed his chin. "It might, but I feel as though if it was that simple, everyone would be doing it."

  Both guys let out simultaneous heavy sighs.

  "It can't hurt to try though, right?" I finished my toast and washed it down with a sip of water from Kane's glass. I needed tea, but it would have to wait.

  Before Kane could move, Nash put aside his coffee and took my hand in his. He closed his eyes.

  I sensed him drawing magic from all around us. "What now?" I whispered, not wanting to break his concentration entirely.

  He shook his head. "I don't know. I'm thinking about the bond, but I don't feel anything forming."

  "Neither do I." I drew a little too, and delved around for where his magic met mine. We could have formed a large bubble, or knocked everyone in the room off their feet. There was no sign of a bond.

  After a while I exhaled and let the magic go.

  Nash did the same. "Either it has to involve sex, or there's more to it than that. As much as I'd love to find out if it's the first one, I have to get to work. You have classes too, no doubt."

  "Ugh, the real world." I groaned to add a little extra melodrama to the moment.

  Kane chuckled. "I'm looking forward to it. I hear the facilities here are nice and warm."

  "Thank the gods." After the rooms at UA, I was ready for a nice, humid lecture theatre or whatever they had here.

  "Just try not to piss anyone off," Nash warned.

  "Who, me?" I pointed at myself. "I never try to annoy anyone, it just happens." I smiled as innocently as I could.

  He snorted. "Just don't mention Zeta or anything about them coming after you and you should be fine."

  "I was trying to avoid even thinking of them," I said. Nash was right though. The antagonism between me and some of the students at UA was less about me and more about their fear Zeta would come after them. The joke would be on them though, if they knew Zeta owned the University of Arcana. Still, I wouldn't even wish life in a lab on Xav, the guy who had been the biggest dick in UA.

  "Don't get complacent either," Nash added. "The council assures me you're safe here, but don't turn your back on anyone. Just in case."

  "Yes, sir," I said smartly. I even threw in a salute for good measure.

  His eyes shone and I knew he was rethinking having to work. I suspected he'd prefer to tie me down to his bed and spank my ass until it was red.

  He placed his hands on the table and pushed himself to his feet. The bulge in his pants confirmed my suspicions.

  "I will see you later," he said, his voice heavy. He nodded to Kane and hurried away.

  I watched his tight ass until he was obscured from view, and turned to Kane.

  "I'm sorry."

  He looked surprised. "What for?"

  "Because your brother and I bonded, but we haven't. It's not for lack of trying."

  "Maybe if we'd known we could, we would have done something differently," he said.

  "Your parents never mentioned a bond?"

  "No, never."

  "Are they dog shifters?"

  "No. Dad is a big cat. Our mother is a bird. They think the wolfhound came from our dad's mother."

  I ran a hand over my hair. "So shifters can be quite different, even within families. Are any of you part demon?"

  Kane considered for a moment. "It's possible. Maybe dogs and demons share more characteristics in common."

  "I've never heard of demons humping people's legs," I said with a smile.

  Kane choked back a laugh. "Me either, but Leo looks like the kind who would."

  "What would I do, big guy?" Leo appeared behind us and slid into the chair Nash vacated. "Oh look, you left me a half drunk cup of cold coffee."

  "Feel free." I waved toward the mug.

  "I'll pass. I prefer it fresh and hot, just like you, darlin'" He pressed a kiss to my mouth.

  Kane cleared his throat.

  "Oh, sorry." Leo turned and planted a sound kiss on Kane's mouth which ignited my blood faster than a match.

  Kane blushed bright red, but didn't look as though he minded.

  Oh gods, now them being together would be in my carousel of fantasies.

  "We should be getting to class," I said regretfully.

  "Bah, there's plenty of time for class." Leo waved his hand in a gesture of dismissal. "Wouldn't you prefer to sneak out and explore Illusion Bay? Just the two of us. Okay, three of us." He winked at Kane.

  "I don't mean to be rude," Kane said, "but why are you here? Apart from your bond with Peyton, I mean."

  Leo rubbed his forehead with his fingertips. For a few moments he actually looked serious.

  "I'm trying to find my place in the world. I know it involves Peyton and you guys, but apart from that…" He shrugged and the smile returned to his face. He sat back and crossed his arms over his chest. "Maybe I'll get a job. Or I might find the local nudist beach and get a tan."

  "Don't get a sunburnt cock," I advised him. "That might hurt."

  Kane winced. "Yeah, it does. I mean, it would. I wouldn't know." His face was red again and he looked away.

  "I'll bet there's a story there, old boy," Leo said lightly, "but it'll have to wait. We have a town to discover." He held out his hand to me.

  "I really can't," I replied after a few moment's thought. "It's our first day of classes and they've been nice enough to let us study here."

  Leo huffed. "Responsible adult, hmmm?"

  "What can I say?" I shrugged. "One of us has to be."

  "I thought that was Nash's job?"

  "It is, but he's not here right now, so I have to step up." A smile tugged at the corners of my mouth.

  Leo grimaced playfully. "I hope it's not contagious."

  "It probably is. Why, are you regretting bonding with me now?"

  "Not for a moment, but I should go before I turn into my father."

  "Well we wouldn't want that." I nodded.

  Leo's nose wrinkled. "Gods no. He's an accountant. So is my older brother. And my younger one. I'm the only fun one in the whole family."

  Kane patted his hand. "That must be
a terrible burden."

  Leo sighed dramatically. "It really is. Family events are so dull."

  "I never would have thought of demons as boring," I said.

  "Until you saw me, you didn't know we existed," Leo pointed out. "Except on TV and in movies."

  "I'm assuming those aren't accurate representations, just like witches and shifters?" I asked.

  "Oh, I don't know. I know plenty of demons who…" Leo flinched and looked past my shoulder. "Shit."

  "What?" I turned around in my seat and glanced back. I didn't see anything unusual, just a group of students gathered around talking. They all wore t-shirts or singlets and shorts; a refreshing change from the uniforms UA had made us wear.

  "Them," Leo said. "They're all demons."

  "Oh." I looked at them closely. They didn't look like anything out of the ordinary, certainly nothing to be afraid of.

  "Which one did you piss off?" Kane asked.

  "All of them," Leo replied.

  I turned back around in time to see him stand and push his chair back under the table. Before he could step away, one of the other demons called his name.

  "Leo! What the hells are you doing here?" A woman with long red hair and a nose ring walked toward him, hips swaying. She smiled, but her eyes snapped with barely contained annoyance.

  "Cordelia." Leo spoke from between clenched teeth. "I thought I'd get an education. Wasn't that your suggestion?"

  She smirked. "I believe my words were along the lines of, "if I ever see you again, I'll teach you a lesson." Are you dumb enough to come back for more?"

  He raised his hands. "I guess so, love." He loudly whispered, "Cordelia is an old family friend. She likes to think she's queen of the demons. Maybe of all paranormals."

  Cordelia snorted. "That's bullshit. I just don't put up with Leo and his crap." She held out a hand to me. "Welcome to the college. Don't believe a word Leo says." To my surprise, she gave me a wink.

  I found myself shaking her hand and smiling at her. I had the feeling whatever there was between them was a lot of words, but mostly a friendly rivalry. I hope so. I'd had enough of aggressive students and assholes.

  "You must come to the party tonight on the beach. We're inviting the entire college, especially you guys from AMM. I've heard whispers that you dealt with an attack from Zeta."
