Lavinia wiggled and moved as she got comfortable, causing him to groan as her hot, wet pussy rubbed against his hard dick. When her hands landed on his chest and began to caress over his skin, he growled. He felt the shiver that wracked her spine and smoothed his hands down the soft, silky skin of her back until he reached her firm peach-shaped ass. He gripped both cheeks in his big hands, astounded at how small she truly was. His hands were bigger than her butt cheeks and that fact made it easier to calm his hunger down a little.
However, when she began rocking her hips, sliding her wet cunt over the hard ridge of his dick he nearly lost all control. Famishment permeated his body right to his very heart and soul. Plus now that they were so close he could feel her desire for him beating at him. His dick jerked and leaked, twitching with the urge to slide up into her warm, welcoming body. He moved his hands from her ass to her hips and as he broke the kiss, grabbed hold of her hips.
Her fingers dug into his pecs as he lifted her up and tried to align his cock with her pussy. He groaned in frustration because the only way he was getting his dick inside of her was to release her and if he did, he was worried that she would fall and hurt herself.
Lavinia must have realized his predicament or maybe she was just as eager as he was because she reached down, wrapped her small hand around the base of his hard cock, and pulled it up and away from his body. She met his gaze as she lifted farther up onto her knees and aligned his dick up with her cunt before pushing down to take the head of his erection into her pussy.
His eyes rolled into the back of his head as her wet heat enveloped his sensitive dick, but he quickly opened them again when he heard Lavinia whimper. He scrutinized her face since her eyes were closed, worried that she was hurting because of his size, but that didn’t seem to be the case. She was so damn beautiful with her petite body and blonde hair and amazing blue eyes. Her chest, neck, and face were flushed pink and her lips were parted as she dragged shallow breaths into her lungs.
He was the one nearly whimpering when she took more of him in and he had to stop his hands from clenching harder on her hips and tugging her down until he was buried inside of her vise-tight cunt until he was balls-deep.
Moving his hands from her hips, he placed them palm down on the bed and gripped the sheet into tight fists. He held totally still after that, scared that if he moved again he would lose his shit, but the moment her cunt clenched around him was the moment he lost control.
He didn’t even remember moving until he blinked and noticed he was looking down at Lavinia and she was flat on her back on the bed. She didn’t seem surprised or hurt because she gave him a soft, sultry smile and then leaned up to kiss him.
En instantly took over the kiss, which turned hot, wild, and passionate. Her hands caressed from his shoulders, down his sides, and over his back to his ass. He shifted until he was slightly on his knees and elbows, bracing some of his weight so he wouldn’t crush her and began to move.
He started out slow, wanting to build her desire to the point she was begging him to fuck her and groaning when she moaned as he shoved back in. He’d never felt anything so blissful and right in his life. Each time he withdrew and surged back into her his heart swelled with love and the tension in his body grew. Lavinia rocked her hips in sync with his and he began to glide his cock into her faster, harder, and deeper. Her breathing became rapid and shallower, and when he felt her internal muscles ripple around his moving cock he knew she was close, but so was he. The only way to hold off was to picture the hieroglyphs in Ra’s temple and read the stories, but when her small hands grabbed hold of his ass and her little fingers dug into his skin, his thoughts fled.
En moved up onto his knees a little more so that when he stroked into her it was more of a downward motion than a horizontal slide. She moaned and gasped, her pussy fluttering around his dick and he knew he’d found her G-spot. He began a fast hard pace of thrust and retreat, making sure to swivel his hips a little as his pubis met hers so he was massaging her clit.
Lavinia’s muscles grew tauter and she began to make a low keening sound in the back of her throat. En clenched his teeth and tried to stave off his climax, but the warm tingling heat had already spread around to his balls and cock. His testes drew up close to his body and just as he was about to go over, Lavinia screamed.
Her cunt muscles grabbed hold of his pistoning dick only to release a second later before clenching hard around him again. En drove into her once, twice more and roared as he pushed into her cunt as deep as he could go. His muscles were as hard as a rock and his cock felt like one and a half times bigger than its normal erect size. Fire encompassed his balls, raced up his shaft and out the tip of his dick.
His hips jerked against hers. His cock twitched and pulsed as he spurted load after load of cum into her pussy and womb. Each time his cock jolted her pussy convulsed around him, milking every last drop of cum from his body. The moment she began to relax, he pushed her hair aside, licked her neck to the opposite side of where Men had marked her, and sank his fangs into her flesh. She cried out and shot straight back up into another climax.
En’s mouth opened on a soundless cry with bliss and astonishment as he too started to come again. His body shook and shivered, his muscles quaked and quivered, and his balls felt as if they had turned inside out. Just as he started to relax again he heard a loud crack and felt the mating he’d created with Lavinia snap into place.
He drew in a few deep, calming breaths and tried to hold the moisture burning the back of his eyes at bay. He’d never felt so much love, such completeness, or contentment in his life. He wanted to shout with joy that he wouldn’t have to spend the rest of eternity alone. He had a mate to love, hold, and protect.
He’d resigned himself to the fact that he would live his life with only the other sentinels as his friends but now he had a mate. Two tears leaked from the corner of each eye, and as his fangs retracted, he laved his bite and then surreptitiously wiped his eyes on the pillow next to Lavinia’s head. He wasn’t ashamed of his feelings, but he wasn’t the type of man comfortable showing such emotions. However, he had a feeling all that was about to change because of his mate.
He was looking forward to learning more about Lavinia and now that he and Men had claimed her and she would transform to become immortal like they were, he was going to teach her everything he could about fighting the shadow demons. He didn’t want her fighting beside them but not because he didn’t trust her and himself and Men to keep her safe. The reason he didn’t want her fighting with them was because it scared the shit out of him. She was his mate and it was his and Men’s job to make sure she was safe at all times. However, he knew he couldn’t wrap her up in a cotton cocoon and lock her away for the rest of her life. She would end up resenting him, them, and that was the last thing he wanted. The only alternative was to train her and train her well so that when she fought by their sides she could look after herself. That didn’t mean he and Men wouldn’t look out for her or stop worrying or protecting her. He loved her and didn’t want her to get hurt, but he knew it would be a good thing if she could defend herself. They couldn’t be with her twenty-four-seven as much as he wanted to be. It was going to take time for her to settle into their way of living and she would also need time to herself sometimes.
Plus, she couldn’t go out in search of the demonic until she could use a scimitar proficiently and after what had happened to Nina that scared him. The demonic had somehow managed to infiltrate their underwater base and snatched her into the bowels of hell.
En hoped that nothing like that ever happened to Lavinia, but when they were dealing with gods anything could happen. He had a feeling that Ra had had a hand in Nina being taken to the bowels of hell, but the sun god had never admitted it. At least not outright.
Pen and Paser had been pissed and rightly so, but all had worked out in the end. From what she’d told them Nina had injured the leader of the underworld, Apep, and En hoped that it would take a long, long time
for the snake god to recover, but he wasn’t about to hold his breath.
What concerned him most was that Apep had figured out a way to create demons using the less impure humans. For thousands of years that asshole and his minions had targeted the pure of heart and mind, and although that was still the case, En was trepidatious over the growing numbers of shadow demons. He just hoped that Apep hadn’t been able to get one of the other gods on his side. If he had, then they could end up in a fight for their lives, and since he and Men, as well as Set and Sab, and Pen and Paser had just found their mates, they would fight until their last breaths.
Their mates were the light in their long dark lives and he would give his last breath to keep Lavinia safe and so would the other mated sentinels for their mates, as well and Mitry and Weni.
Lavinia shifted beneath him and he pushed his worrying thoughts aside. He had a mate to love and take care of and he would spend every spare minute he had loving her.
En lifted his head and smiled when he realized that Lavinia had fallen asleep, but she had a smile on her face. He carefully eased his softening cock from her body and moved to lie down beside her. The moment he was settled on his back she wiggled closer to him, pillowing her head in the crook of his arm and shoulder. Her hand landed on his chest and she sighed as she nuzzled her cheek on his skin before settling down again. He’d planned to carry her into the bathroom and soak in the tub with her, but he didn’t want to disturb her sleep.
He glanced at the door of the bathroom and grinned at Men when he entered the bedroom with a washcloth in his hand. He’d forgotten that his friend had sequestered himself in that room while he’d made love to and claimed Lavinia.
“She’s special, isn’t she?” Men asked in a low whisper.
“Yes, she is.” En kissed the top of Lavinia’s head. “I feel…so much. It’s hard to take in.”
“Yeah.” Men sighed and smiled wider. He crawled up onto the bed, gently gripped Lavinia’s ankle, and lifted her leg before gently wiping her pussy clean. Lavinia moaned and sighed before snuggling in tighter to En’s side. Her breathing deepened once more and En sighed with contentment.
“I love her so much.” En swallowed around the lump of emotion constricting his throat.
“I do, too.” Men sat back on his haunches. “You know we’re going to have to train her, don’t you?”
“Yeah, and although I hate the idea of her fighting the demonic, the thought of her being in danger or getting hurt, I know it’s for her own benefit.”
“Yes, especially after what happened here with Nina.”
En nodded.
“I’ve been thinking about that incident. The only way the shadow demons could have infiltrated the base was if they were let in.” Men laid down beside Lavinia, shifting until his front was pressed up against her back.
“I thought the same thing. Why would Ra do something like that?” En asked, not really expecting an answer.
“I think he was testing her as well as Pen and Paser. She had a few self-confidence issues, but she managed to work through them in time.”
“Thank the gods for that. I hope he doesn’t do anything like that to Lavinia.”
“Me too,” Men agreed. “I love her, but having a mate also scares the shit out of me.”
“Me as well.” En scooted down the bed a little more and reached for the light. He was glad that the others had let them stay home with Lavinia tonight. He hadn’t been looking forward to leaving her in their home while they searched for the demonic. Just the thought of not being close to her tore his heart in two, but he was going to have to get used to leaving her behind until she was adept at fighting. Hopefully she would be safe with Zara and Nina now that they knew how to fight and they also had that light power thing going on.
Somehow Nina and Zara had tapped into a hidden energy inside of their bodies when they’d been in danger. He had no idea what that powerful energy was but was damn glad they had that ability. Those two women had blown the hoard of demonics into small flecks of ash, saving themselves as well as their mates.
En wondered if Lavinia would have the same power, but he knew he wouldn’t find out by asking her. Apparently the other women hadn’t known that skill had existed inside their bodies until they were in danger of losing their lives.
He just hoped that he, Men, and Lavinia didn’t have to find out if she had that skill the hard way. Just thinking about her being so close to the shadow demons sent fear skittering into his heart and blood.
He took a deep breath and pushed his unsettling thoughts aside. What he needed to do was take one day at a time and make sure that his mate felt loved and happy.
That was all that mattered in the scheme of things.
Lavinia’s happiness was paramount.
Chapter Nine
Apep grabbed hold of another of his followers and sucked the life out of him. It had been a four weeks since that bitch had hurt him and he still wasn’t fully healed. He had no idea how she hurt him, but he had a feeling Ra had had a hand in that bitch’s ability.
The demon he had hold of as the last of his soul left its insubstantial body disintegrated into dust. He’d killed nearly five hundred of his followers trying to heal the burns on his body, and although they had diminished and he no longer felt that searing agony deep in his flesh, he still had scars on his body. The only other time he’d felt such pain was when he’d fought Hades. That fucker had covered his entire body with burning sulfur and flames. It had taken him over a century to heal from that encounter, but his pain had been worth it in the end. He’d weakened and incarcerated Hades and now ruled over the underworld. The shadow demons were his to command or kill if he so decided.
He just wished that he could send them into the heavens to wipe out Ra and Amun, but killing the sun god’s sentinels would be the next best thing. However, every time he sent his demonic followers after those fuckers they failed. His anger was becoming a problem and although he didn’t care about how many of his followers he killed, he was losing control to the point where he felt as if he were going insane.
He flexed his hands into fists and snarled with rage when the skin on his hands hurt. The burns seemed to have shrunk his flesh and the skin felt so tight it was almost painful. So when another of his demonic got too close to him he grabbed hold of him, opened his mouth, and sank his snake fangs into the shadow’s neck. He shuddered as evil and adrenaline raced through his body and more of the scars faded away. He cursed when the demonic burst into small particles of ash that floated to the floor of the cavern.
If he kept draining the evil shadows, he would be left with no one to fight for him, so with a sigh of frustration he sank down into his throne. Maybe he should be looking into the power those women had. If he could kidnap another one like the last and he was able to steal her soul he had a feeling he would be more powerful than the sentinels. The thought brought a smile to his face. If after he’d stolen a pure one’s soul and he tapped into that innocent power he might be able to get rid of those bastards in one fell swoop. The thought made him laugh and when he saw the shadow demons cover their ears, fall to the ground, and writhe in pain, he laughed harder.
He was a cruel bastard and loved to see others suffer, but nothing would give him more satisfaction than watching Ra weep when he killed all of his soldiers.
Apep rubbed his hands together and began to think of how to get his hands on another of those women.

Lavinia knew the moment she woke that Men and En were in bed beside her. The heat coming off of their bodies was better than an electric blanket. Now that she was mated to them she would never feel cold in bed again. There would be no need to rug up in flannel PJs or heap blankets on her bed to stay warm. She had a feeling a sheet and light cover would be more than enough to keep her warm in the dead of winter.
She took stock of her body after moving her leg and couldn’t believe how wonderful she felt. The other women and her men had told her she would feel stron
ger and have enhanced senses and although she’d believed them she hadn’t expected to feel this good or this strong. She felt like her body was humming with excess energy and the only way she could think to alleviate that was to jump her mates’ bones.
She opened her eyes and blinked the sleep haze from them and gasped when she saw each small ripple in the paint on the walls. She glanced about, taking everything in and noticing how vividly vibrant the colors around her were. It was an amazing thing to experience and although she wanted to share her excitement and awe with her mates they were still asleep and she was loathe to wake them. She had no idea what time it was or what time they’d gone to sleep, but she’d probably had more rest than they had since she’d crashed after En had made love to her and claimed her.
It took her a few moments to notice that she was able to see as clearly as if she were out in the sunlight and that the room was actually quite dark since there was no light on. If she was able to see so well when dark, what was her eyesight going to be like when it was daytime?
Lavinia wouldn’t know the answer to that until the sun rose, but right now she needed to go to the bathroom. As she lifted her head to look at Men, he sighed, lifted his arm from her waist, and rolled away from her. Although she wanted him to continue holding her she was glad he’d moved of his own accord so she didn’t wake him when she moved out from beneath him.
She turned back to look at En and even though he was lying facing her he was breathing evenly and deeply with one arm up above his head and the other was resting across his chest.
She carefully scooted up toward the bedhead, trying to keep the covers from moving too much and when she was clear of them she crawled down between her two mates to the bottom of the bed and then stood. With another glance at her guys and seeing that they were still asleep she tiptoed to the bathroom and after shutting the door turned the light on. The light was so bright it hurt her eyes and she had to blink a few times and when the spots dispelled from her vision she hurried to the toilet. After relieving herself and washing her hands she decided to have a quick shower.
