She could feel the emotions flowing through him. Anger, pain, fear, and the certainty that he could bring Micah back.
“Together,” he said kneeling on the other side of Micah. “To forge the bond so that none of our people can question we must do this together.” He took her hands and placed them on the centre of Micah’s chest and placed his over the top of them. “No matter what, do not move your hands.”
She felt the heat first, a warmth that slipped from Merced, through her and into Micah. Slow and steady at first it grew hotter and coursed faster. A glow began around them as if shielding them while Merced worked to heal.
“What!” Merced exclaimed and his face took on a fierce expression as he must have felt something. When she looked at him in question he simply said, “A barrier lies within him, confining his power, powers I did not even realise we shared.”
Merced closed his eyes and the fiery heat burned hotter and she looked at her hands just to reassure herself that they did not burn. Instinct had her wanting to pull them free but love kept them firmly planted between the two men.
She could feel the push of power from Merced growing stronger as he worked on the barrier that Micah had within him. She knew what it was from and soon Merced would as well. She had only to focus on what she had seen in Micah’s memory for Merced to know what was done to his brother when he was sent to the temple to be trained as a holy man. They had tortured him, bound the majority of his powers and vowed him to silence about it all. Only his mate would be able to fully understand what he had gone through, and rarely did the holy man mate.
Merced gave a fierce cry and she felt the crack of the binding and the unbearable hit quickly moved through her and filled Micah. Merced began to chant and though she did not know the language she understood what he was saying. He was calling the soul back while the heat of his magic healed and refreshed Micah’s flesh. She prayed to the goddess begging her to restore Micah, to not take him from her.
Time seemed to stand still. Moments lasted a lifetime before Micah finally blinked his eyes open. With a cry she leant down to him smothering his beautiful face with kisses. No visible marks of the beating he had taken remained. Merced had healed them all.
Micah smiled and caught her lips with his, plundering her mouth with a kiss that seared hotter than the magical flames. It left her panting for breath, panting for more, much more.
“You brought me back,” he said and his eyes were on Merced.
“I could not let my twin die while I had life left in me,” Merced stated.
“We are bound now,” Micah said and Merced nodded.
“We are all bound now,” Merced agreed. “Mated for life.”
“And you would share so great a gift with me?” Micah whispered.
“I would die for you,” Merced stated.
“Brother,” Micah said and lifted his hand to Merced. Merced linked his with it and pulled it to hold their joined hands over his heart.
“From this day forward we walk together,” Merced said. “No king, no holy man, only brothers joined by heart, by soul, and by the love of the one mate they share. Had I but known of the binding they placed on you I would have removed it long ago. Your powers are yours, given unto you at birth and none should ever be allowed to take those gifts from you. Never.”
“It is the way of the holy man,” Micah said as he sat up pulling Lynx over into his lap and holding her close. “Generations before me have known the same.”
“Never again will a Danuja be subjected to that,” Merced vowed. “Not while we are king.”
“We?” Micah asked with a smile.
“It is as it should have always been,” Merced nodded. “Twins should not be separated. Two halves of one soul can only truly be whole when together. Our people will learn to accept that.”
“And the fact that we share one mate between us?” Micah asked, looking at Lynx.
“They will accept or they will be free to leave,” Merced stated. “I feel that the people are more than ready for change to come. Only the elder generation will hold true to the old ways, and yet, I feel that even many of them will come around when they see the joy we share.”
Micah nodded and bent to kiss Lynx once more. She felt it all the way to her toes. She wanted to strip right there and mate fully with Micah no matter the audience they still held.
“Aurora will be pleased that you follow in her footsteps,” Domi’s voice cut in.
“What?” she asked.
“If Merced and Micah are kings and you are mated to them, then that would make you a queen,” Nado said with a laugh.
“Just as your sister,” Domi added laughing as well.
Lynx just shook her head and grinned. At least Domi and Nado seemed okay with the fact that she was mated to two men. Then why wouldn’t they when they were both mated to the same woman?
“Let’s head back,” Micah said and wrapping one hand under her hips used the other to push himself up and stand.
She wrapped her arms tight around his neck and held tight. “Are you okay to leave?”
His golden eyes smouldered and she could feel the sexual need surrounding him, surrounding them. “I am more than ready to head back,” was his husky reply.
“You two head back,” Merced said.
“What about you?” Lynx asked not liking the idea of Merced going off without them.
“I intend to see what else we can find,” Merced said and kept going before either she or Micah could interrupt with their displeasure. “I have two panthers and a king with me and the queen and her warriors should be here soon.” He moved to them and kissed her softly on the mouth before whispering to her. “You and Micah need this time to fully join. He deserves no less than what we shared. And when I return we can show what it is to have two men worship you.”
“No risks, Merced,” she whispered back.
“No risks,” he promised and kissed her once more, his tongue filling her mouth and saturating her veins with pleasure.
“Take my mount,” he told Micah and took her into his arms while Micah mounted the horse. Merced handed her up to his brother and she sat across the front of Micah’s lap her arms wrapping around his neck once more and holding tight.
The brothers shared a look and she could feel the love and acceptance pass between them. Micah would not fight Merced against being in this relationship with them. With the breaking of the barrier that had confined him it was as if he was a different person. And she thanked the goddess for giving him back to them.
She snuggled against him wiggling on the erection under her bottom. He groaned and urged the horse faster. She was just as anxious to get back and mate completely with Micah. Having tasted his kiss, and recalling the one night they had shared, she was eager to make love with him. And in mere moments she would.
Chapter Nine
Micah shut the door behind them and just leant back and looked at Lynx.
“What?” she asked afraid that maybe he had changed his mind, maybe he did not want her or to share her with Merced. So much was floating through her head.
But he only smiled. “You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. I can’t believe that in just moments I will be able to touch you, all of you with no fear.”
She grinned and reached for the hem of her shirt tugging it up and over her head. His breath caught at the sight of her naked breasts and it made her feel beautiful, powerful. She moved to sit on the edge of the bed and slowly removed her shoes before standing once more and reaching for the laces of her leathers. She slid them down her hips and kicked them aside before looking up and staring into his face.
His gaze was eating her as it raked from head to toe and back again. She could tell how much he desired her by the level of heat in his eyes. They smouldered like molten gold and she could feel herself falling into them. He eased away from the door and reached inside his robe as he moved towards her. It hit the floor at their feet leaving him in the snug fabric she had first discovered on Me
rced. She was really beginning to like them.
His cock was long and thick with hunger, and before he could do anything she dropped to her knees in front of him. It only took a moment to reach up and tug him free of the material. His cock bobbed in front of her, the tip glistening with the dampness of his desire. Leaning in she wrapped her lips around the head and sucked greedily at it.
He tasted like nothing she had ever known before. Wild and sweet and musky. Hot and hard and alive. His hips moved forward and more of his length pressed into the stretched confines of her mouth. He was incredibly delicious and she wanted more of his taste. She used one hand to wrap around the base of his shaft and the other to scrape her nails along the inside of his thigh. It seemed to drive him wild.
“Lynx,” he moaned her name. “I want to love you, to touch and taste you.”
She would have told him soon. She would have promised him later. But she would have had to stop sucking his cock long enough first and it wasn’t happening. She looked up into his eyes instead and holding his gaze moved her mouth back and forth on him taking a little more of his length with every return. He groaned and sifted his fingers through her hair to caress her head.
He groaned again and began pumping his hips, fucking into her mouth. It was so good. She was blown away with how much she was enjoying having his cock in her mouth. She rubbed her tongue in the groove just under the head and scraped her teeth there as well. Micah definitely liked that as his hips jerked thrusting him into the back of her throat. She gagged a little and he quickly pulled back and free.
“I’m sorry,” he murmured as he pulled her to her feet.
“I wasn’t finished,” she tried to protest but he just shook his head.
“I need you,” he whispered. “I want to be deep in your sweet pussy the first time I come.”
“Yes,” she moaned.
He turned her to face the bed and nudged her until she was bent over and with her ass in the air and her legs wide apart. She glanced over her shoulder at him and was seared by the heat of his gaze. It was his turn to fall to his knees and when he did it put his mouth even with her exposed cunt. He spread her lips and licked her from her clit all the way back to her ass. She cried out as he jabbed his tongue at her anus. It was different and incredible and scary all at the same time.
“I want to take you there,” he whispered. “I want to feel the snug grip of your ass as I thrust inside you. Would you let me?”
“Yes,” she whispered unwilling to deny him anything at the moment.
With a smile his face disappeared again between her spread thighs and his lips covered her clit. He sucked and licked the nub and two fingers pushed into her pussy. She gripped the bed with her fingers and held on as he took her closer and closer towards orgasm. Lips, tongue, teeth and fingers worked and every time she felt her juices spill he would take some on his fingers and move to her anus using her own wetness to lubricate there.
She came with a low moan and his fingers moved from her pussy only to be replaced by the thrusting of his tongue. His wet fingers moved back to her anus and this time one pushed inside past the first ring of muscle and kept going until she could feel the brush of his knuckles against her cheek. He thrust his tongue deep and held it still as well, then began moving in and out of her with both of them together.
She came again with a loud cry and found her body thrusting back on him wanting more. Words were spilling from her lips, begging for more, begging for him to fuck her. Micah rose to his feet behind her. One finger had become two and he moved them in and out of her anus slow and easy. It was a wicked burn followed by a searing tingle that connected to her nipples and clit and spiralled out further to the tips of her toes and fingers.
His cock nudged the opening of her pussy and when his fingers were just in, so that only the tips remained in her he paused. She glanced back at him over her shoulder and when their eyes connected he thrust deep. Fingers and cock slamming into her bringing a riot of satisfaction. She screamed and bucked taking him deeper in both places. The pleasure was so intense that it was painful. As if she were only moments away from exploding into a million pieces her body unable to contain the extreme emotion tearing through her.
“Micah,” she cried his name out and he thrust a little faster, taking her a little harder, going deeper with every plunge.
His fingers were spearing inside her now shifting apart inside her to stretch her. He drove deep one more time and used his fingers to rub his cock through the thin barrier of tissue that separated him. Her nerve endings were already screaming and whether it was the feel of what he was doing or the knowledge she went hurtling over the edge into orgasm again. It ripped through her with a wave of cataclysmic bliss. Her body was lifted on her toes, her fingers clenched deep into the bed. Her head was thrown back and the cry she’d meant to scream was trapped in her throat.
It was too much to contain and her body was stretched taut as it surged through her. She held that way for what felt like moments and Micah stilled behind her letting her ride the wave without forcing more on her. Finally with a wail she collapsed down. Her feet flattened to the floor and her elbows hit the bed, her head dropping to rest between her spread arms. If not for his hand at her hip she probably would not have remained standing.
Micah slowly eased free of her and she realised that he was still rock hard. The fingers slipped from her ass and she felt the tuck of his cock at the opening. She might have tensed, might have let her nerves get to her but she was too sated, too limp from ecstasy for her body to listen. She realised that must have been what he had intended.
His cock was soaked in her juices and easily slipped inside the tight opening of her anus. She felt the tug and burn as he pressed past that first ring of muscle and then he slowly eased in until she could feel the brush of his sac against her ass cheeks. He held still allowing them both to adjust to the new sensations raging through them. Then when she couldn’t help but wiggle just a bit, trying to adjust to the new feelings this brought her, he groaned and moved.
Both of his hands held her hips, keeping her lifted to his every glide in and out of her ass. Slow and easy he rode her and she could hear the pleasure it gave him in the way he whispered her name and how much he loved her. But even better, through their link she could feel how much he loved it, how much pleasure he found in her. Feeling his pleasure increased hers.
As his breath came faster so did his thrusts. Soon she was back up on her toes, fingers clenched once more and Micah pressed harder, faster and deeper with every plunge of his cock. She loved it, was already imagining how it would feel to have Micah taking her there while Merced was in her pussy. And goddess, she couldn’t wait to find out.
Micah moved one hand around to her stomach and his fingers eased between her hips and the bed. He found her clit and began to rub across it moving back and forth as he thrust. In just seconds she was close to another orgasm. She rubbed herself on his fingers and then pushing back into his cock.
He was close. She could feel how close he was and on his next stroke she clenched around his shaft. With a cry he bucked, driving even deeper and held her hip as he spilled inside her. She could feel the heat of his seed washing inside her and came again coating his fingers where she rubbed against him.
She collapsed to the bed once more and he leaned over her gasping for breath as well. She turned her head to him and his lips found hers immediately. His kiss was soft, a reflection of the love in his eyes. She could taste herself on his lips. He eased back and she felt him move his hips so that he slowly slipped free of the tight grip of her anus. She groaned and shifted as her body felt the loss of his flesh.
Micah stood and bending lifted her up into his arms. He carried her to the top of the bed and bent over to lay her as close to the middle as he could before joining her there. He pulled a cover over them before taking her into his arms once more.
“I love you,” she told him and felt tears prick her eyes and spill over. She did love him and
today she could have lost him.
“Shhhh, my love,” he whispered back reading her emotions and using his thumb to wipe her tears away. “I’m alive and well here in your arms.”
He kissed her once more and lying in his arms she gave in to the sleep that wanted to pull her under. Micah was with her and Merced would join them soon. For the first time in a while she could really rest.
She awoke to the soft caresses of hands stroking over her skin. Four hands. One set was stroking her right side while the other focused on her left. Starting at her shoulders they moved slowly down her body brushing over her rock hard nipples before trailing over her hips. She moaned and shifted.
“I was hoping you would awaken sooner,” Merced stated from her left.
She took in the sight of him. Clothed he was a beautiful man but naked he was unbelievable. His body was pure perfection. His chest was sprinkled with coarse hair that twined into a path that led to his stomach and then lower to the jutting length of his cock. He was hard and hungry for her. She licked her lips and he groaned.
Micah chose that moment to pinch her nipple dragging a gasp from her and turning her head his way. He was just as deliciously naked as Merced and just as thick with hunger. She slipped down the bed so that her hands would reach their cocks and gripped them in her hands giving them a squeeze. Both of her men groaned.
She smiled. This is what she had envisioned from the beginning. This is what she had wanted, the three of them together. She made love with Merced and then with Micah and now, finally, the three of them would be together.
“Tell me this is not a dream,” she murmured. “That you are both here and that we will all be together.”
“No dream, little cat,” Merced whispered then moaned as she moved her hand along his length.
“We are all together,” Micah agreed offering a groan of pleasure as she stroked him as well.
“Are you okay with this, Micah?” she asked, knowing that he felt the biggest burden among them. He was the one who had been taken and raised in the ways of the holy men of the Danuja. He was the one that she worried would feel pressured to leave her and Merced.
