"I have something a little bit more low tech you might enjoy." He walked with her up the stairs to the main floor.
"Oh? What's that?" Yuki's infectious smile lightened her heart.
"We bought some ATVs—or rather, I bought some ATVs. You want to go ride around the property?"
"I would love to do that." Her smile grew so wide it almost hurt her cheeks.
"Come on." He took her hand. "Let's go."
Chapter 18
Krista clung to Yuki's back, and he felt a wave of exhilaration wash over him. Having her so close was the best feeling ever. When she'd been taken, it was all he could do to keep his cool. With Ragnar angry at Akash, Yuki had felt like he had to play peacekeeper, a role he was not accustomed to. Krista needed a break from all the stress in the house, and he was glad he could give that to her.
They rushed up the hillside, and she screamed with delight as they zoomed down the other side. The wind flew over his face, arms, and shoulders. He looked behind him at Krista through the helmet. She was smiling. He smiled back, seeing that she was happy. He had been worried about her emotional state and was concerned that she might run away from them. But she had decided to come and stay with them instead. He admired her strength and her ability to adapt to what must be a challenging new paradigm.
They came to a stop in a grove of trees that opened out to the view of a ravine and the mountainside beyond. He turned off the ATV and helped Krista off. He'd packed a picnic in the storage container and pulled it out from under the seat. He carried the basket and a blanket as they walked into the forest. The birds chirped overhead as the blue sky stretched above them.
He spread out a picnic blanket, and they sat together in a clearing. The view peeked between the trunks of the pine trees, and songbirds thrilled all around. Krista leaned back on her palms, closing her eyes as she inhaled the fresh air.
"It is lovely up here," she said. "It's good to get away from the house and everything.”
"You've been through a lot lately."
"I feel safe with you."
"I'm here to protect you. The vampires won't come here. This is all within our shields.”
"All this advanced technology... I don't understand.”
“You don’t have to.”
"I went out with Akash the other day to a museum exhibition. It was about our ancient human ancestors. He explained to me how the dragons seeded Earth with the souls of their ancestors. It's all coming together to form a clear picture. But I still don't really understand where I fit into all of it."
"You fit in as yourself.”
"And what about the three of you? Why are we matched? Why is it us?"
"Who is to know the workings of fate?"
"It is so strange to me that such advanced beings would still believe in something like fate."
"It's not that strange."
"I know it's your custom, but how do you feel about it?"
"It isn't a judgment or belief. It is something ingrained inside me. The moment I saw you, I knew you were the one."
"How did you know?"
"I knew because my dragon told me. In fact, my dragon won't stop telling me every moment of every day." He laughed, watching her face grow uncomfortable.
"I do feel something like that—a deep yearning and attraction for each of you. I couldn't really explain it at first. It was strange, to say the least, to be so attracted to three men. It had been a while since I'd had a boyfriend. I broke up with mine about six months ago, and he was the only one for quite some time. But then you came into my life, and I thought I was having some kind of sexual crisis.” She laughed nervously. “I couldn't get you out of my mind. It was like you three were all I could think about. Is that how you feel?"
"It is very similar, except more pronounced perhaps. More violent. Our dragons are relentless in their pursuit of our mates. They rarely calm down enough for us to think clearly. In some ways, I feel as if I've been a different man since this all started. The arguments between Ragnar and Akash are a good example of what the mating impulse does to a dragon. Akash is usually so careful and thoughtful, but twice he’s forgotten to have you protected. Ragnar can be a bit of a hothead, but he's usually loyal to a fault and doesn't hold grudges. Not so since the impulse took over.”
"What about you?"
"I’ve felt lost, to be honest, and muddled. For a man who is used to repairing things, I felt as if everything had broken apart. And all I wanted was to put it back together again. But nothing seemed to fit. Finding the house helped. But until we are mated..." He didn't complete the statement. He just looked down at the ground and sighed. "I can't presume that we will mate. You have to choose one of us, two of us, or all of us. Or none. It isn't up to me to decide. I've already made my decision. And that is that I stand by whatever you want. I support you in everything you do. And I will protect your life with my own until the end."
"I'm not used to hearing men say things like that," she said with a small laugh.
"Any man who would not do that for you isn't worth the particles that make up his body."
"That's funny."
"It's true."
They ate their lunch and chatted more about his life back on Dragonia. Yuki was a fun-loving dragon, but she also found him thoughtful and wise in his own way. He was different from Akash, perhaps more street-smart and less cultured, but he had something to offer Krista that the others did not—a sort of down-to-earth understanding of the way things should be—that she appreciated. When they'd finished eating, they put their things back in the ATV and rode back to the mansion. She was glad to have had some time alone with Yuki to relax and reflect. Akash and Ragnar could both be intense in completely opposite ways. And with Yuki, she could take a step back, look at the bigger picture, and just be herself.
She excused herself and went to her room. Akash came to her door sometime later with a tray with her dinner on it. Dusk began to settle outside her window. There was another knock at her door, and she opened it, finding Yuki and Ragnar standing on the other side.
"Come in," she said. "We should all talk."
"I brought a bottle of tequila," Yuki said, waving it around with a sly smile.
"That will probably help."
They all sat together at the table in her sitting area. Yuki opened the bottle, pouring them all shots. She threw hers back and began to eat her dinner. Ragnar had brought a plate of meat and cheese, a perfect complement to Yuki's libations.
"We have some serious things to discuss," she said.
"Yes," Ragnar said with a low growl.
"This is the most difficult decision I've ever had to make, and I don't know how to make it. I need your help."
"What can we do?" Akash asked.
"I don't know that either. I wish I did. I wish I knew what to ask for. I wish I knew anything. But I've come to the conclusion that I am completely lost. What I do know is that I need your help. I think all we can do is try to talk through this."
"Are you afraid?" Yuki asked.
"I am afraid," she said. " I've never been afraid of anything. But now I'm afraid of everything. I'm afraid of what will happen if I love three men. I’m already in love with all of you, and I still don't understand it. I'm afraid of being claimed by all of you. I'm afraid of what will happen if I don't choose you all. I'm most afraid of losing you. It’s like I don't know which way is up anymore. It's an extremely uncomfortable feeling for me. I'm used to having mastery of my life, and I don't feel like I have any of that anymore."
Akash took her hand. "Whatever you need, we are here to provide it for you."
"You will get your mastery back, Krista," Yuki said. "I have no doubt about that. You're one of the strongest people I've ever met."
"I appreciate that, Yuki."
"Why are you afraid of the claiming?" Ragnar asked.
"All of you at the same time? How exactly is that going to work?"
"Do you mean penetration?" Ragnar asked.
All three men l
ooked at each other and then back at Krista.
She bit her lip. "Yes."
"It is the way it is done," Akash said carefully.
"But I've never, you know…"
"We can help you," Yuki said. "We can practice."
"You think that would help?" Krista asked.
"It would get you accustomed to…things," Yuki said.
"Then that's what we should do," she said with a decisive tone. "But only after another round of tequila."
Chapter 19
Krista downed her third shot of tequila, a drink she was not used to, and laughed at the three men at her table. Yuki had been juggling laser balls that he’d materialized from his wrist device, and Ragnar was smacking them out of the air.
"How many of you were there before you left?" Krista asked in a moment of seriousness.
"What do you mean?" Akash asked.
"How many Storm dragons?"
"There were fifteen. All but six decided to stay. We’re lucky our captain provided his seed to the dragoness prime to give birth to Tor. We had something worth saving."
"Aside from our own necks," Ragnar added.
"I still don't understand why the others wouldn't want to leave," Krista said.
"Old-world culture was extremely rigid," Akash said. "People listened to the elders to a fault. They were unwilling to leave."
"If those of us who escaped the cataclysm hadn't had a rebellious streak, the entire race would have ceased to exist," Yuki added.
"I'm sure the vampires would have appreciated that," Ragnar said.
"Enough of this serious talk," Krista said. "I want to do some of what Yuki suggested."
"You mean practice?" Yuki raised an eyebrow.
"Exactly." She laughed. She'd grown warm with tequila and was feeling ready to experiment. She stood up and sat in Ragnar's lap, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"What did you have in mind?" Akash asked.
Ragnar picked her up and started toward the bedroom.
"We'll figure it out." Ragnar tossed her on the bed, and she shrieked. He growled and prowled over her as she panted breathlessly on the mattress.
The other two walked into the room and approached them. They seemed unsure, but she reached out to then and invited them in. Akash and Yuki climbed onto the bed beside her and began to kiss her lightly on the cheek and shoulders. Ragnar pulled off his shirt and began to unbutton hers, kissing her mouth and neck as he fumbled with the buttons. A moment later, they had her down to her underthings, the three of them in nothing but boxer briefs. She felt a thrill of desire and expectation mingle with unrelenting fear as she gazed at their hard erections tented under the fabric of their underwear. Ragnar grabbed her and kissed her, his tongue darting in and out of her mouth as he unclasped her bra and drew the garment away, throwing it across the room. The other two joined him, cupping her breasts and the back of her head as they kissed her neck and shoulders.
Hands caressed her skin as Ragnar dipped his fingers under the hem of her panties and began to caress her hungry core. His tongue danced with hers, drawing a moan from her lips. She began to caress them, reaching for one after the next, but they pushed her hand away, pinning her down on the bed as they ravished her with kisses. Ragnar pulled down her panties as the other two held her hands above her head and lapped her breasts with their tongues. Yuki then kissed her while Akash nibbled on her peaked nipples. Ragnar pushed open her thighs, spreading her wide as the width of his tongue slid over her wet folds.
The rush of desire was quick and overpowering. It was too much, yet it was exactly what she wanted. She let go, allowing their hands to pin her down as their mouths ravished her flesh. Ragnar's tongue slid deeper, penetrating her and wagging over her swollen clit. He used his fingers to hold her open while he nibbled and sucked on her swollen mound. Yuki kissed her deeper and deeper. Akash sucked on her nipples, one after the other, until Yuki joined him. With Ragnar sucking her clit and Yuki and Akash sucking her nipples, she let out a deep moan as an orgasm rippled through her body. She groaned loudly, her entire frame tensing as the shockwaves ran through her.
Ragnar turned her over on her stomach, drawing her ass up into the air. Yuki and Akash caressed her sides, their hands moving gently and lovingly over her flesh as Ragnar licked up her slit, over her pussy, and then her ass. His tongue wiggled over her back entrance. And she let out an astonished gasp. His tongue was wet and supple as it vibrated on her tight hole. Yuki threaded his fingers through her hair, tilting her face toward him to kiss. She looked up at his erect manhood and slid her mouth over the hood, sucking him hungrily as she flicked him with her tongue. He growled and pulled her down over his length.
Ragnar's tongue continued sliding and darting over her asshole. As she sucked Yuki and Akash rolled her nipples between his fingers, Ragnar's tongue penetrated her. He replaced it with the pad of his thumb, pushing deeper as he licked her pussy, darting in and out. She thrust up and down on Yuki's cock, ravenous for his seed.
Suddenly, they had her up on her knees, facing them as they surrounded her. She kissed them all, one after the other, fisting their cocks in her hands. Akash slid his fingers between her legs, feeling her sopping-wet entrance. He slid into her pussy as the others held her up. She rested her head against Yuki's chest as he fondled her breasts and his tongue darted into her mouth. She felt his hard cock against her ass as Akash thrust his fingers in and out of her core. She came again, shuddering violently in their arms.
She needed them inside her. She needed to feel them. But they wouldn’t give her what she wanted. They continued to play with her, using their fingers and tongues. Yuki pulled a box out from a side table, revealing a variety of toys. Her eyes went wide as she looked at them. He turned on a vibrator as he lowered her to her back. Spreading her legs, he rested a vibrator against her clit as he slowly pushed another into her cunt. She quivered and moaned as the toys propelled her into another mindless climax. Wet and open and needy, she reached up and grasped whoever's cock was closest, wanting to taste them, needing them inside her.
"You’re all going to fuck me now, or I won't choose any of you."
They looked at each other as they stood above her writhing on the bed.
Ragnar was the first to climb over her, his massive, muscled body descending like a mountainous wave crashing down on the shore. He angled the head of his cock against her slick, throbbing entrance and pushed inside. He cupped her face with his palm, claiming her mouth as he thrust deeper. She was so open, he buried himself inside her with no resistance. Krista groaned and grasped his back, scratching her nails over his muscled flesh. She was done for. There was no Krista left anymore—just pleasure.
Ragnar's powerful hips thrust again and again, slapping into her flesh with audible clapping. She groaned, louder and louder with each thrust. He pumped into her, the sensation a continuous wave of orgasm. If this was what it was like to be with one of them, what would it be like to be with all of them? He turned her over on all fours, and she rested her chest against the bed as he slipped back inside, sure and aggressive as his dick claimed her, and his hands gripped her hips so hard she knew it would bruise.
He pulled her against him over and over as she went languid and let herself submit completely. Ragnar pulled out and fisted his cock, slapping himself into his final throes. Semen shot over her back and into the cleft of her ass. He used his thumb to press her asshole wider, slipping deeper inside her. She collapsed on the bed, moaning and writhing on the sheets as Ragnar fucked her ass with this finger. He pulled away, and she turned over on her back, looking up at Akash and Yuki. Their eyes looked so hungry—they were starving.
Yuki was the next to pull her to him. She sat astride his lap facing him as he drew her down onto his erection. He held her in his arms, moving her over his cock in long, smooth motions. She kissed him deeply, holding him close as he brought her to orgasm again and again.
His strong, dexterous hands gripped her body as his cock slid in and out of her
in mind-numbing waves of sensation. When he came, he came inside her, his hot, thick semen coating the walls of her womb. He held her close for long moments, staying inside her as they kissed. Akash slid the head of his dick over her sopping wet ass, pushing against the tight opening as Yuki held her and slid out from inside.
She lay on Yuki's chest as he lay down onto the bed. Akash pressed the head of his cock against her tightest hole. Yuki held her close as Ragnar threaded his fingers through her hair, and Akash slid deeper into her ass. She gasped as he opened her wider, sinking, inch by inch, into the darkness.
She was so open and so ready it didn't hurt. It felt like something she'd been waiting for. She groaned, loud and mindless, as he moved to the base of his cock, disappearing inside her. Slowly, he pumped in and out as Ragnar held a vibrator against her clit. The sensation made her buck against Akash as he took her ass for the first time. When he came, he slid out from inside her, coating her back with his seed.
When they were done, she was so overcome with the experience that all she wanted to do was sleep. After quickly washing up, the three of them nestled together in her massive, king-sized bed, tangled in the sheets as they drifted into the oblivion of sleep.
When she woke the next morning, she felt tired and a bit sore from having her brain fucked out the night before, but she didn't regret a single thing. She wrapped herself in a bathrobe and went to the bathroom, starting the shower. It was a huge tiled shower with multiple rainwater heads and a bench along the wall. She dropped her bathrobe and stepped in. A moment later, all three of her men were there, watching her run her sudsy hands over her stomach and breasts.
"Would you like some company?" Akash asked her.
"Yes," she said. "I need you to wash me."
All three of them stepped into the shower, running body wash into their hands. Yuki sank to his knees, running his hands up and down her legs and between her thighs. Ragnar stood behind her, rubbing her back and washing her hair. Akash remained in front of her, sliding slick hands over her breasts. Yuki slipped his tongue between her folds, lightly licking her swollen clit. She’d had her mind opened the night before, open to things she never would have normally tried. She wasn't afraid anymore. All she felt was hunger and a desire for more. Ragnar took her palm and kissed her wrist as Akash sucked on her nipples.
