Zara sighed with satiation and contentedness. She couldn’t believe how mating with Sab had given her such a strong connection with him. As she snuggled into Set’s embrace she could actually feel Sab’s determination to keep the demonic shadows from trying to get to her.
However, that wasn’t all she could feel coming from him. She was humbled to feel the deep love he had in his heart and it was all because of her. She’d never thought of herself as anything special but knowing he loved her so much already, after only knowing each other for such a short time, was mind blowing.
She didn’t really know how any of this was possible, but now that she’d made up her mind to be Sab’s and Set’s mate, she didn’t regret her decision and wasn’t about to question it. Maybe because her men were sentinels to Ra, the sun god, their meeting had been destined in the stars, or should that be the heavens. Or maybe the sun.
She smiled at her own little pun and looked up to see Set watching her intently.
“Are you feeling okay, baby?” Set kissed her shoulder, sending a shiver of arousal racing up her spine.
“Yeah,” she sighed and turned over so that she was facing him.
He cupped her cheek, his thumb caressing her skin, sending more tingles of lust through her body, but that wasn’t all. She could see emotions in his gaze as well as desire and although she had strong feelings for him, too, she wanted the connection she had with Sab, with Set as well.
“I need you, baby,” Set murmured right before his mouth covered hers.
She moaned and gripped his shoulders as he took the kiss deeper. His tongue twirled around in her mouth, along the inside of her cheeks and teeth before coming back to rub against hers. He tasted so good, so right, she could have gone on kissing him for hours. When he released her lips she whimpered with disappointment. She groaned as he licked and nibbled his way down her neck, over her collar bone, and when he got to the pulse point at the bottom of her throat, he paused to suck and lick that spot. Driving her need for him even higher.
She threaded her fingers through his hair when he moved further down her chest and when he laved the tip of his tongue around her areola she gasped, but when he sucked the peak into his mouth she cried out as sparks of lust heated her blood and shot straight down to her cunt.
The edge of his teeth scraped over her nipple before he suckled on it strongly. Zara moved restlessly, her fingers clutching him harder as she tried to bring him closer, but Set wouldn’t be swayed. He shifted his mouth to her other breast and suckled on the peak for what seemed like hours, but was surely only minutes.
When he lifted his head she met his hungry gaze and her breath stuttered in her throat. He was so damn handsome and sexy, he took her breath away.
Set maneuvered onto his knees, gently pushing her from her side to her back and then he crawled up over her. When he was in the position he wanted to be, straddling her lower thighs and knees, he skimmed his hands up the inside of her legs, spreading them further apart. She sighed with pleasure when he reached her pussy lips but instead of stroking them like she expected, he tugged on them gently, sending zings of bliss into her cunt. Her internal muscles clenched and cream dripped from her body. She’d never thought having her labia pulled would turn her on so much but the more he did it, the hornier she got.
“Please, Set?”
“Do you want my cock in your pussy, baby?” He gave her a wicked smile before looking down at her pussy again.
“Oh god,” she gasped when he rimmed a finger around her wet hole and then slowly pressed it up inside of her. He withdrew it and then shoved back in. Zara spread her legs wider and drew them up against her body, giving him unimpeded access to her hungry pussy. Having his finger sliding in and out of her sheath was heavenly but she wanted his cock filling her up, gliding in and out of her wet cunt until she screamed.
She hadn’t even noticed that she’d closed her eyes until Set’s finger stopped moving and she lifted her lids. With their gazes locked he shifted, placing his hands on the mattress near her shoulders and then he lowered his body over hers.
His groan joined her moan as their bodies met. The heat emanating off of him was incredible and when she lowered her gaze to his mouth and she saw his fangs, her heart skipped a beat. When she’d first seen those elongated teeth she’d been frightened but not this time, because when Sab had sunk those sharp puppies into her skin she screamed with euphoria. Now she knew what to expect she was eager to experience Set sinking those sharp puppies into her shoulder and making her scream.
Zara had no idea what Set was waiting for but she needed him inside of her now, so she reached up, placed her hand on his nape, and pulled his mouth to hers. She didn’t worry about him cutting her or drawing blood with those teeth because she didn’t care. All that mattered was that he fill her wet, hungry pussy and claim her.
He must have felt the same way because he shifted his hips and when the head of his cock brushed against her clit she moaned into his mouth. He moved again, the tip of his dick lowering until he was against her entrance and then he pushed in.
Zara broke the kiss and gasped for air as she released her hold on the back of his neck and caressed her hands over his shoulders, arms, and sides until she got to his hips. Once more they locked gazes as he slowly worked his thick, hard cock into her soaked pussy.
If she thought it would work Zara would have pressed up into his slow strokes but she could see by the look of determination in his eyes that he wanted to protract their time together.
He moved his weight to his elbows and then cupped her breasts, kneading and molding the globes before pinching the nipples between his fingers and thumbs. By the time he was fully embedded into her cunt she felt as if her whole body was on fire.
A sob of frustration or maybe it was famishment left her mouth when he released her breasts but then she moaned when he pressed his chest to hers. His mouth descended on hers and as he began to kiss her rapaciously, he began to rock his hips.
Zara’s hands moved to his ass and she dug her fingers into the muscular cheeks as she began to move her hips with his. Each time he drove down into her cunt deeply, she pushed her pelvis up to meet his strokes. Liquid lava flowed through her veins, heating her body from within and each time his cock glided along her walls creating that delicious friction, the tension began to build. She moaned when he lifted his mouth from hers and started licking and nibbling on her neck.
When he scraped those sharp teeth on the sensitive spot just beneath her ear, Zara was lost. Lost to everything but Set. She was surrounded by his musky, manly scent, savored each and every touch and the pressure building inside each time he pumped his hips, gliding his cock in and out of her wet cunt. Her internal walls closed in around his shuttling dick, her pussy getting tighter and tighter around his thick girth, making them both moan.
He rocked his hips faster, deeper, harder each time the bulbous broad head of his erection caressed that sensitive internal spot on the top wall of her cunt, making her writhe and moan as she raced toward ecstasy.
Zara screamed as she began coming. Set gasped and groaned as he drove his hard cock in her faster, if that was even possible and just as the contractions in her cunt began to slow, he sank his fangs into her neck and shoulder. Her mouth opened on a soundless cry, her body shaking and quaking, juices dripping from her pussy and bright lights formed before her eyes.
Set roared against her neck, the sound muffled on her skin as he ground his groin into hers, his cock going deeper than ever before. His cock seemed to expand inside of her, prolonging her climax and spurts of heat filled her channel and womb. The orgasm seemed to last for a nirvanic lifetime and yet it was over before she was anywhere near ready for it to be.
When her soul finally floated back into her body she felt the connection with Set and before she knew it, tears welled in her eyes and spilled down over her temples into her hair.
Set had already pulled his fangs out of her flesh and was licking
at the spot where he’d bitten her. She was surrounded by him, his softening cock was still buried deep inside of her, but it was the emotions in her heart that had her crying. Now that he and Sab had claimed her as their mate she could feel them both in her heart and soul.
The love she could feel from them for her was astoundingly humbling and she couldn’t contain the feelings building inside of her for a moment longer. The sob erupted from deep inside of her chest and out of her parted lips before she could stop it and another followed quickly behind.
Set’s body tensed as he shoved an arm beneath her shoulders and then he rolled until he was lying upon the mattress on his back with her body draped over him. His hands moved from her shoulders down her back and ass before making the return journey as she cried.
Zara had never been so happy in her life and hoped like hell that the demonic shadows her mates had told her about didn’t find a way to get to her or her guys. Fierce possessiveness surged through her body and entrenched into her heart and she knew that if at all possible she would do anything and everything she could to keep them safe. Even if it meant breathing her last breath for them so that they could continue to live.
Chapter Nine
Apep looked around the cavern from his seat on the raised throne with a bored expression on his face, but he was anything but. The attempt to poison the female two of Ra’s sentinels were enamored with had failed and heads were about to roll. He should have known that Sturgis would fuck things up. He was one of his strongest demons and although he’d been given instructions to follow and as far as he knew had done so, the plan hadn’t worked.
The fucking sun god had been the bane of his existence. If it weren’t for him he would have had control of the world thousands of years ago. Ra had stuck his nose in where it wasn’t wanted and they’d been enemies ever since. Apep had controlled the Egyptian pharaohs, directing them to steal, torture, and create. Those pyramids had been created because of him. He’d had no idea the sun god had been watching him as he directed the weak, greedy humans.
Anger coursed through him, causing his dark power to surge out, burning his idiot followers. Their cries of fear and agony were balms to his black soul and made him laugh. He slumped on his throne, squeezed his fists, and watched the shadows writhing in agony.
Ra had somehow contained his powers to the underworld and although he wanted to make his minions human, he couldn’t. It had taken him almost a thousand years to figure out that sending his shadows to the earth above and having them steal souls from the innocent while they slept was the only way for them to be able to walk amongst the humans.
The only way Ra could have become so powerful was if he had gone to Amun. That slimy fucker had thought he was the ruler of all the Egyptian gods but Apep had known better. He was supposed to have ruled the heavens and earth. The only way Ra could have become more powerful than him was if those two bastards had somehow combined their powers.
Fury turned his gaze red as he thought about the day Ra had intervened and saved the Egyptian slaves. He laughed maliciously as his demons screamed in agony, imaging it was Ra instead. He’d been minding his own damned business and watching the scene below him with malevolent humor, but then he’d felt the power racing over his skin and when he’d tried to turn to face his nemesis, he hadn’t been able to.
“You aren’t worthy of the title god,” Amun’s voice was so loud he’d felt his eardrums burst and he’d bled for the first time since he’d become a god. The warm fluid had leaked from his ears, over his jaw and down his neck. For that alone he’d vowed to kill Amun.
Ra had appeared in front of him and the anger in his gaze had been palpable but he underestimated the god and hadn’t considered him a threat. He hadn’t understood what was happening when Ra had jerked and then his skin had begun to glow but before he could even think about the anomaly he’d been thrust into the bowels of hell.
He remembered screaming at the searing pain as fire had scorched the skin from his body and he’d tried to run. That had only made him want vengeance with a passion. He’d never felt such pain or felt so cowardly, but he was strong and powerful and he’d learned to stop fighting the burning agony and had embraced it. It had taken hundreds of years for his powers to strengthen and when it had, he’d taken on Hades and won. Now he was the leader of the underworld and the evil spirits were his to control, to dictate to, or to kill.
What he wouldn’t tolerate was failure. Any shadow that failed him would die a painful death over and over again.
He sighed as the fury began to lower to a slow simmer. It was getting harder and harder to find humans pure and innocent enough to steal souls from. If he’d been able to touch the children he would have won his war with the sun god long ago, but they were the purest of all the humans and were protected by the hand of God himself. If his minions even touched on the edge of a child’s soul, he'd disintegrate into dust and die, never to return.
He’d learnt by trial and error what worked and what didn’t but humanity had advanced in leaps and bounds over the last couple of centuries and with that advancement came knowledge, corruption, greed, and selfishness.
Apep rubbed at his forehead as a thought popped into his head. He wondered if stealing the souls of evil humans would enhance his minions’ power enough to coalesce into a solid form. He’d tried that three thousand years ago but it hadn’t worked. The evil ones had been able to circumvent his dictates and think for themselves. They’d caused a lot of destruction and deaths of the innocent people he was trying to find, but maybe things had changed enough that he would be able to control them in totality.
His powers had grown stronger and stronger so maybe he could use those not so worthy humans after all.

Zara had no idea how long she slept but when consciousness returned she felt happy, content, and well loved. She felt Sab's and Set’s bodies pressed up against hers and she sighed with bliss. Last night had been extraordinarily, blissfully carnal and if she had her way she would spend the rest of her life loving her two mates.
As she came more awake she felt the connection humming between the three of them, but that wasn’t all she felt. Zara felt healthier than she’d ever been in her life, stronger and her senses were sharper. She could smell Set’s sandalwood scent as well as Sab’s spicy, cinnamon tang mixed in with their natural male musk.
Sab moved behind her and she moaned when his hand gripped one of her ass cheeks and kneaded the globe. She opened her eyes when Set moved in front of her and her breath caught in her throat when she saw the love in his gaze. She smiled softly at him and his lips lifted in response.
“How are you feeling, baby?” Set asked, his voice a little gravelly from sleep.
“Wonderful.”
“You certainly do,” Sab whispered before kissing her bare shoulder.
“I can feel you both. It’s…”
“You don’t have to explain it to us, honey.” Sab smoothed his hand over her ass, hip, and then up her stomach to her breast.
She sighed with pleasure when his hand enveloped her breast, molding its shape before he plucked at her nipple. Her eyes lowered as they began to close but she opened them again when Set cupped her cheek, jaw, and neck in the large palm of his hand. His hand was so big his fingers were halfway down her neck, but she loved the sensation of his touch on her sensitive skin. In fact she loved both of them touching her.
“We can feel you in our hearts and souls.” Set kissed her softly on the lips.
Zara nearly groaned with frustration when he pulled away again, but they gently pushed her to her back. Sab turned her face toward him and ran a hand over her body, stopping to rub and knead in strategic places as he kissed her.
She felt the mattress dip when Set shifted down the bed and when his hands landed on her knees and gently parted her thighs she groaned as the ambient air in the room caressed over her wet, heated folds. She didn’t know which one of her mates had pushed the covers down nor when, but she
didn’t really care. All she cared about was having both of them loving her again. The orgasms they gave her the previous night were carnally consummate to the self-induced ones she’d given herself upon occasion and she was eager to experience that their touch again.
She tensed for a moment when she felt Set’s hot breath against her cunt but with the first swipe of his tongue over her wet pussy, she relaxed and moaned with bliss. How could anything so carnally erotic give so much pleasure?
“You taste sweeter than honey, baby,” Set said in a raspy voice before he lowered his head again.
Zara gasped in air when Sab released her mouth and groaned when he kissed down to her chest. His tongue swirled around her areola and then he sucked the hard tipped nipple into his hot, wet mouth. She shifted on the mattress restlessly as her mates sent her up toward the stars.
Liquid heat raced through her body and although she felt totally boneless the tension began to build. A soft cry left her lips when Set pressed two fingers into her cunt, thrusting them in and out of her pussy, creating that amazingly delectable friction which sent her climbing the slope faster. Copious amounts of cream dripped from her pussy and her internal muscles rippled and coiled.
Set’s tongue flicked over her clit, sending shards of pleasure deep into her womb and just as she thought she was about to fall over the edge, Set pressed a finger onto her anus. This time she tensed for an entirely different reason. She wasn’t sure what to make of the astounding pleasure of having Set’s finger caress over her ass.
“Do you like that, baby?”
“I–I…don’t…know.”
“What’s he doing to you, honey?” Sab asked after releasing her nipple from his mouth.
“He’s…he’s…”
“Is Set playing with your ass?” Sab held her gaze, lowered his head, and swiped his tongue over her nipple.
“Oh god,” Zara moaned and arched her chest up toward him. All of a sudden she felt like she was on fire for them. She wanted to lift her legs up and spread her knees wide so that her mates had access to both her holes. She didn’t even realize she was shaking until Set pulled his fingers from her body and sat up between her knees.
