He was amazed to see the bruises were disappearing before his very eyes. Being immortal was a major plus because they healed quickly, but he’d never healed this fast, nor had the other sentinels.
As he stared at Lavinia her aura began to glow, but this time it was a yellow light and not the bluish-white color. The brighter the light got the more her color returned until her cheeks were once more tinted with pink, her lips a lush pinkish red.
“Wow, what’s that?” Zara asked.
“I think Ra is healing Lavinia,” Nina said in a reverent voice.
Men felt the temperature of Lavinia’s body grow warmer and then he noticed a concentration of gold light just above her left breast.
“Thank you, Ra,” En whispered, his head lowered in supplication.
Men drew in another deep breath and knew his concern for Lavinia was unfounded. His god wouldn’t let his mate suffer and die. He felt bad for doubting his deity, but he loved his mate and seeing her in danger was a scary thing. He hoped he never had to go through something like that again.
A surge of power washed over his body making the hair on his nape stand on end.
“Your bond is strong.” Ra’s booming voice echoed off the temple walls.
Lavinia gasped all of a sudden and jerked upright, her eyes glancing around wildly.
“You’re safe, little one.” Men wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her against his body.
“I know.” She smiled at him, cupping his cheek before looking for En. The moment she saw him, she reached out and clasped his hand. “So did we pass?”
“You did,” Ra replied loudly. “You were still holding back from your mates. Learn to trust in them as they trust in you.”
Men nearly shouted with joy when he felt the last of the shields around Lavinia’s heart melt away. He hadn’t even realized she was still holding part of herself back until now.
“I do. Do you think if you ever need to test me again you could make it less scary?” Lavinia asked.
Ra chuckled. “You are a true sentinel now, Lavinia. There will be no more tests.”
“Thank God.” Lavinia sighed. “Oh. Shit! Sorry. I didn’t mean…”
Ra’s laughter cut Lavinia’s apology off. The electrical current surging around the room dissipated and Men knew Ra was gone.
“Are you okay, pixie?” En asked.
“Yeah, but I would kill for a shower and some food.”
Men stood, taking Lavinia with him.
“I love it when you do that.” She looped her arms around his neck, rested her cheek on his shoulder, and sighed.
“What?” Men asked he headed toward the hallway.
“You carry me around so easily. You’re both so strong.”
“You don’t weigh much, mate,” En said as he came abreast.
“I weigh more than you think.” Lavinia smiled and then burst out laughing.
“What’s so funny?” Men asked.
“Nothing. It’s just good to be alive.”
“That it is, mate.” En grinned as he opened the door to their apartment.
Men turned and met the gazes of all the other sentinels and the two other women. “Thank you for helping us.”
“No problem.” Wen shrugged.
“You’re welcome,” Mit said.
“You would have done the same for us.” Set winked.
“It was a given,” Pen said.
“Sure was,” Paser agreed.
“I know…but, thanks.”
“Thank you, everyone,” Lavinia said, just before Men carried her over the threshold.
En followed kicking the door shut behind him.
Epilogue
It had been three months since Lavinia had faced Apep and escaped the evil leader of the underworld’s clutches. She had never been happier in her life. She looked forward to spending each minute by Men’s and En’s sides whether it was fighting the shadow demons or making love with them.
Each day that passed she grew stronger, faster, and more in love with her mates. She couldn’t imagine not having them in her life. It had been a long night and although they had fought hard the demonic seemed to be increasing in number quickly.
Apep was now using the souls of the not-so-pure and although the sentinels had tried to figure out how he was able to do that, they hadn’t found the answer as yet. Lavinia knew that they would eventually. Deep in her heart and soul she knew that they would conquer the evil and obliterate them from the plains of earth and hell. It didn’t hurt that the sun god, Ra, was on their side.
No matter how long it took they would prevail.
She wiped the towel across the steam-fogged mirror and stared at the eye of Ra on the top of her left breast, still in awe of being marked by a god as one of his sentinels. She turned to see the two tattoo-like marks on her back. The one over her left shoulder blade was of a falcon with brown feathers and the one on her right shoulder blade was a combination of the falcon and the eye of Ra. Next to that mark was the faintest outline of an angel with fine white lines. She’d found out that the falcon and eye were both symbols of Ra, but had no idea what the angel meant. Maybe one day soon the sun god would explain.
If she’d imagined any of what she’d experienced four months ago she probably would have signed herself into a loony bin. A smile graced her lips as she tried to imagine what a psychiatrist’s reaction would be if she told him about what she, the other women, her mates, and the other men did for a living. He’d probably place her in a straitjacket and pump her full of antipsychotic drugs.
Lavinia’s thoughts turned to Mitry and Weni. She hoped they found their mate soon. Although they smiled, joked around, and laughed a lot, she’d caught them looking at the other sentinels with a sad envy in their eyes. Those two men were lonely and craving a soft feminine touch. She just hoped that when they found their mate the woman would be more open than she’d been, even if she’d capitulated rather quickly by her standards. It was a lot to take in, but believing that life as you knew it, wasn’t quite what it seemed, was a big mind fuck. She was just glad she’d come through Ra’s test with flying colors.
The door to the bathroom opened. Men looked her naked body up and down and then met her gaze in the still slightly foggy mirror. “You are so fucking beautiful, mate. I love you.”
Lavinia turned to face him. “I love you, too.”
Men breached the distance between them, wrapped his arms around her waist, and tugged her against his hard muscular frame. She tilted her head way back to meet his gaze and sighed when she saw the love and lust in his eyes.
“I need you, little one.” Men clasped her hips and lifted her until she was eye level with him.
“I need you more.” She looped her arms around his neck and pressed her lips to his.
Men groaned, opened his mouth over hers, and thrust his tongue into her depths. The kiss was hot, wild, and erotically passionate. His tongue twirled around and rubbed along hers. She moaned as her hardening nipples brushed against his bare chest, and when she wrapped her legs around his waist, wished he didn’t have his jeans on.
“Oh, looks like I arrived just in time,” En said as he caressed up and down her back, over her hips and ass. “I can’t get enough of you, pixie. Will you let us love you together?”
Lavinia broke the kiss with Men before looking at En over her shoulder. “Yes! Hurry! I need you both.”
“You’ll have us, baby,” Men said as he lowered her to her feet.
She didn’t want to let him go, but he needed to remove his jeans so they could make love. Her gaze followed his hand and fingers as they tugged the button free and she held her breath as he lowered the zipper.
En clasped her shoulders and turned her toward him. Her breath caught in her throat when she saw his magnificent, naked, muscular body. Her hands landed on the dark skin over his ripped abs and she traced each delineated definition down his stomach until she reached his thick, hard cock. She wrapped her hand around the base as she sank to her
knees in front of him and then licked over the broad bulbous head.
“Fuck!” En’s fingers threaded into her hair and gently guided her mouth closer to his erection. “Suck me, pixie. Get me nice and wet so I can fuck that sweet ass.”
Lavinia opened her mouth wide. Keeping her gaze locked with En’s, she took his cock into her mouth. He was so damn big she could only take a few inches, but from the groaning and panting sounds En was making he liked what she was doing to him. She began to bob her head over his hard dick, making sure to massage the underside with her tongue each time she drew back, and suctioning her cheeks to massage along his length as she took him back in.
She had a nice rhythm going until she felt the heat from Men’s body as he knelt behind her. A moan of need escaped around En’s cock when Men palmed her breasts, massaging and kneading them before he pinched and plucked at her nipples with his fingers and thumbs.
She licked and sucked hoping to give En pleasure, but once again she was distracted when Men smoothed his hand down her belly to her cunt. His finger delved to the top of her slit and he lightly caressed over her clit.
“Oh,” she moaned as she pulled off of En’s cock to draw a deep breath of air.
“So fucking wet,” Men rasped as his finger moved lower before dipping into her wet pussy.
“Lift her up,” En ordered in a breathless voice.
“But…”
“Later, pixie. You can suck me later. I need you too badly.” En grabbed her elbow as Men lifted her to her feet. “Turn and face Men.”
The moment Lavinia turned, Men lifted her up into his arms. “Wrap your arms and legs around me, little one.”
She did as she was bid. Her hands moved over his shoulders, up the back of his neck and over his smooth head. She loved how soft the skin of his scalp felt under her fingers and she also loved the way her touch made him shiver. Men’s head was sensitive and every time they made love she made sure to caress it often. She loved having her hands all over her mates’ bodies. Their muscles were so hard and although their skin wasn’t as soft as a female’s it still felt as if she was touching warm silk to her.
Men began to kiss her at the same time as he began to fill her pussy with his cock. He was so thick she felt her pussy lips stretching to accommodate his entry into her body. She loved the slight sting as she was stretched to capacity, but having both of her mates moving inside of her body together superseded everything else. It wasn’t just the physical connection that made her hungry for them. It was the emotional connection, too.
She felt everything they did unless they blocked her, which they’d only done a couple of times when they’d been injured while fighting the demonic. However, she’d quickly vetoed them doing that to her again. She would rather share their pain than feel so empty in her heart and soul.
“I’m in,” Men rasped.
Lavinia heard the pop of a bottle and knew that En had just opened the lube. She wiggled her ass in enticement, making herself and Men groan as his cock moved in her pussy.
“You’d better cut that out, little one. You’ll have me coming in a heartbeat.” Men pressed his forehead to hers before kissing her on the nose.
“That’s the whole idea,” she said breathlessly and then moaned when he drew his cock back and surged forward again.
Lavinia whimpered with pleasure when En pressed two lube-covered fingers deep into her anus, pumping them in and out to prepare her for his cock. He removed his fingers after only a few strokes and then she felt the tip of his lube-coated dick caress over her star.
Men lowered his mouth to hers and kissed her rapaciously. His tongue stroked deep into her mouth, dancing and dueling with hers as their fiery passion heated her blood.
En rocked his hips slowly inching his way into her back entrance until he was fully seated. “You okay, pixie?”
“Yeah,” she gasped.
“Hang on, mate. This is going to be fast and hard.”
Lavinia was about to reply with, just the way I like it, but her mates began to move before she had the chance to speak.
Men withdrew from her cunt and as he drove back in, En eased from her ass. The next time they moved was faster and by the third stroke they were pounding in and out of her pussy and anus, their bodies slapping against hers as they sent her racing toward the heavens.
Liquid heat coursed through her veins as the pressure inside her began to build. The more she moaned and groaned, the faster, harder, and deeper Men and En fucked her. Her nails dug into Men’s shoulders as she clung to him and her internal muscles began to grow tauter.
Just as she was about to go over the peak into climax her mates sank their fangs into her shoulders.
Lavinia screamed as nirvana washed over and through her body. Her arms and legs trembled, her internal muscles clenched around her mates’ cocks before releasing only to clamp down hard again. Streaks of light flashed before her eyes as her whole body quivered and quaked with ecstasy.
The love surging back and forth between them kept her orgasm going on for what seemed like forever. Men shoved deep into her cunt with a growl and froze as he reached his peak.
En shouted as he drove into her ass twice more and then was coming, too.
The pleasure of their climaxes ebbed and flowed from one to the other and by the time the contractions in her body slowed, she was feeling weak with satiation.
Men rubbed his cheek against hers and she opened her eyes to meet his gaze. “That was…”
“Yeah.” Lavinia sighed.
“I agree,” En rasped before he began to chuckle. He withdrew his dick from her ass, kissing both her shoulders before planting a kiss on her cheek.
“Are you tired, little one?” Men asked as he eased his softening cock from her pussy.
“Not really.”
“So… Do you think you’re up for another round of lovemaking?” En asked as he helped her back into the shower, stepping in with her.
“I will never be too tired to make love to my mates,” Lavinia replied. “You are my heart and soul. I love you both so much.”
“I love you, pixie.” En lathered up a cloth and began to wash her.
Men stepped in behind her, closing the glass door and then wrapped an arm around her waist. “Love you, little one.”
Lavinia closed her eyes and sighed with contentment as her mates washed her body before they started on their own.
They had the rest of the day ahead of them to love each other and although she sometimes wished they could take the occasional night off from fighting the shadow demons, she was happier than she’d ever been in her life and didn’t think she would change a damn thing if she ever had the chance. Not even when she’d had to face the scary underworld god.
Everything happened for a reason and she was a much stronger and more confident person after her experiences with the demonic and their leader and even though the thought of facing the snake god again worried her, she was no longer terrified of him.
Which was a good thing since she had a feeling they hadn’t seen the last of him.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
My name is Becca Van. I live in Australia with my wonderful hubby of many years, as well as my two children.
I read my first romance, which I found in the school library, at the age of thirteen and haven’t stopped reading them since. It is so wonderful to know that love is still alive and strong when there seems to be so much conflict in the world.
I dreamed of writing my own book one day but, unfortunately, didn’t follow my dream for many years. But once I started, I knew writing was what I wanted to continue doing.
I love to escape from the world and curl up with a good romance, to see how the characters unfold and conflict is dealt with. I have read many books and love all facets of the romance genre, from historical to erotic romance. I am a sucker for a happy ending.
