“What’s your decision?” I asked.
“When I first heard I was going to be a part of your trials, I couldn’t believe it. I was beyond excited, having seen you all my life and forever believing you were the most beautiful girl, and then woman, in the kingdom. I admired you, and then I got my chance. Even though you liked the other guys when you saw them, I knew you liked me as well. I saw the way you looked at me. We went on these feats, testing not only ourselves personally but also each other, in more ways than one. I started to have feelings for you, and those feelings haven’t gone away. I want to be with you, but I’m scared, and that’s something I never usually admit to,” he said.
“Why are you scared?” I asked, as my stomach tied itself up in knots.
“Sharing is a new concept to me. I fear I won’t get the time with you that I crave and desire,” he said.
“But look at us now, Aidan. We are alone, here, in this beautiful villa. There will be time together, just the two of us, and with Tyvin and Adam. We will all be a unit, but that doesn’t mean I won’t have time for just you privately,” I said.
“Do you promise that?” he asked.
I knew this was the make-or-break moment. My next answer could cement him as my mate, or it could scare him away, never to return. While I would be happy with just Tyvin and Adam, I really wanted Aidan as well.
“I promise you,” I said, with conviction.
“Then I would like to stay, with you, and be part of your harem,” he said, smiling.
I jumped up and into his arms, and he held me in the air. I nuzzled my face into his, kissing him, as he laughed and smiled more than I’d ever seen before. “I’m so happy,” I said, putting my forehead against his.
“How do you think your mother and Telerius are going to react to all this?” he asked.
“All that matters is that I get my powers. Once this ceremony takes place, and I receive water mastery, that’s what’s important,” I said.
•••
There was a knock at our door later that evening. “Aira,” I said, as she walked inside the villa.
“King Janius would like to see you, alone,” she said.
“Are you sure that’s a good idea?” Aidan asked.
“I know I’ll be fine. I think it’s about you know what. He probably just wants to make sure I’m not being influenced by anybody,” I said. “I’ll be back.”
I left the villa with Aira, extremely nervous about talking to King Janius. Not only was he an intimidating man, both physically and because of his power, but he was also the decision-maker holding the key to my future. If he said no, that they couldn’t grant me the mastery, it would mean I would never get it. I would be left with only my sword and weapons until the day I died, even if I did have my guys. That was hard, even if I would be thrilled to be with the three of them. I’d been looking forward to getting my elemental powers since I was old enough to know what they were.
We entered the palace, skirting past the empty throne towards a door off to the side. “Where are we going?” I asked.
“The King and Queen’s private residence. They would like to speak with you there, in private,” Aira said. “Here you are.”
She opened the door, closing it right after I walked in, as if she weren’t allowed inside. I stood in a long tan hallway with artwork hanging from the walls and small windows that looked out to the sea. “Ah, Kira, thank you for meeting with us,” King Janius said, as I walked into the great room.
“Thank you for taking my audience. I trust Aris has spoken with you?” I asked.
“Indeed he has, young one,” Queen Helena said.
“Please, have a seat,” King Janius said, extending his hand to a chair across from them. I sat down, placing my hands on my thighs. I felt the clamminess of my palms even through my pants. I was thirsty, my throat dry, as little beads of sweat gathered on my brow. Saying I was nervous was an understatement.
“As we said, Aris came to us earlier with an idea. He said that after talking to you, he learned that you do not plan to choose a mate to spirit bond with, instead opting to mate with the three gentlemen you came here with,” King Janius said softly.
“Yes, sir, that is correct,” I said.
“As you know, our two kingdoms are quite alike in our bonding rituals, even if they are also very different in nature. While your elemental powers come from ancestral magic and spirits, ours come from an artifact, which bestows the power to manipulate and control water, the same kind of elemental magic that you would receive should you pick one mate and do things the way they were set out for you,” King Janius said.
“For us it’s hard, my dear. No outsider, nobody without Atlantean blood, has ever been exposed to either our ritual or the power of our gem. The fact that you would get both would be groundbreaking, and could open the floodgates to other people and beings from around the magical world wanting the same privilege,” Queen Helena said.
“Still, we cannot help sympathizing with you. Controlling water is our birthright, as it is yours. We share a connection in this power, which sways us towards helping you. We do fear, however, that by helping you, your mother would be furious and might abandon our newly formed partnership and alliance,” King Janius said.
“I can take care of my mother. I would hope she would rather me have the power of water than abandon our agreement. She was the one who sent me on my feats with these men, and it must’ve crossed her mind at some point that I wouldn’t be able to choose just one,” I said.
“And you’re absolutely positive you want all three of them? It is quite the statement,” King Janius said.
“Yes, I am sure. I have already committed myself to my men, and they to me,” I said. “The only thing left is to officially bond and to get my powers.”
“Then we will grant you your wish, young princess, but only if you do it the way Atlanteans of past, present, and future have done it. Are you prepared to do that?” King Janius asked.
“I am,” I said.
“May I ask, have you already consummated your purity?” Queen Helena asked.
“No, uh, I haven’t,” I said quietly.
I wasn’t embarrassed to be a virgin, per se. It was fairly normal in our culture until we bonded, but parading it around to everybody was a different story. I never thought I would lose it this way, with three men, and everybody knowing we were doing it, but there was no other way, and I shouldn’t let it detract from the experience I’d have.
“The ceremony will take place tomorrow evening at sunset. You will be helped with your dress, all of you, and I will officiate the ceremony. I hope for your sake, and ours, that your mother won’t mind,” King Janius said.
“Me too,” I said under my breath.

The guys all watched me as I walked back into the villa. “I’m ready,” I said, after closing and locking the door. They perked up, looking at one another, as I continued to walk towards my bedroom.
I heard their footsteps soon follow, and I felt a wave of emotions flood over me. I was nervous, and a little scared, but also happy and very excited. I was going to be sharing myself with them, and I wanted to.
As I walked into my room I pulled off my shirt, tossing it to the side, as the guys entered behind me. “Are you sure?” Tyvin asked sweetly.
“Yes,” I said, nodding, “I’m sure.”
Adam came up, kissing me, and I breathed in heavily through my nose. I grabbed his arms, my hands being dwarfed by his, as I felt Tyvin’s hands grab my waist and unbutton my pants. My stomach flexed a little as I tasted Adam’s tongue inside my mouth. I put my head back, his lips finding my neck and then beginning to softly kiss me up and down.
The fire of Aidan’s lips soon found my stomach, kissing all around my belly button, as Tyvin grabbed and massaged the inside of my thighs. I moaned. Adam reached behind me, unclasping my bra, and it fell forward onto the ground. I kicked it away.
I looked down, my bare breasts revealed once more,
before I tugged at Adam’s shirt. “All of you, off now,” I said, their eyebrows rising. I ran my hands along Adam’s strong abs as he undressed, before looking to my right and left and seeing Aidan and Tyvin doing the same.
I could see Tyvin’s bulge pressing through his robes as if it were calling my name. Adam backed up, letting Aidan in, and his warm hands gripped my sides before wandering to my nipples. “Yes?” I asked, giggling, as his fingers ran through the back of my hair. He backed me up a little, until my calves hit the bed, and I fell back, slowly, with Aidan lowering me down.
I scooted back, putting my feet on the edge, before Tyvin grabbed my pants and pulled them down. This felt familiar.
I looked over at Adam as he dropped his pants and was only a thin piece of fabric away from being naked. I bit my lower lip, feeling Aidan sucking on my nipples, before I squirmed when Tyvin’s fingers touched me through my panties.
I raised my eyebrow at Adam as he touched his bulge, and he pulled down his boxers, his cock hanging there like it was waiting for me. I motioned for him to come closer, my hand extending as Aidan and Tyvin kept on me.
The head of his dick slid along my palm, his shaft in my hand feeling warm and powerful as I grasped it. I moved my hand up and down, jerking him slowly, as I glanced up and saw the look on his face. His eyes were closed, and he was breathing heavier than normal, before I pulled him even closer.
I saw his toes curl as I wrapped my lips around him. I liked it, sucking his dick. It was my first experience and definitely wouldn’t be my last. Tyvin pulled down my panties, tossing them aside, and his kisses ran up my thigh and closer and closer to my pussy.
Aidan got up and I opened my eyes to see him starting to undress. I moaned, sucking in a deep breath as I pulled Adam’s dick from my mouth and looked down between my legs. The top of Tyvin’s shaggy hair was there, his face buried in me, his tongue swirling around my clit.
I’d pleasured myself before, many times, but this was a feeling and experience that I’d never once imagined in my wildest dreams. Tyvin inserted a finger, sliding it deep inside me, before he began to flick upwards.
“Fuck!” I yelled, my back arching on the bed.
“I’ve learned a lot in my studies,” he said, and I felt my eye twitch.
I dropped back onto the bed as Aidan came up on my other side, his long cock finding its way into my hand before I turned my head towards him. “Mm,” I moaned gently, looking into his eyes as I slid him into my mouth. His shaft skidded along my tongue, barely fitting inside, as I tugged on Adam so he knew I was still thinking of him too.
Tyvin stood up, unbuttoning himself, before Adam pulled away, deciding it was his turn to have a go with me. I smiled, his face burying between my legs. I flexed my abs and could barely stand the euphoric feeling of his tongue against me.
I looked at Tyvin, his smooth shaved body, and his hung dick that looked beautiful as the light from the lamp hit it. “Is that okay?” he asked, as if he weren’t big enough for me.
“It’s more than okay,” I said, smiling, before pulling him closer. His dick tasted sweet, like a lollipop I could lick all day, but I was starting to get antsy the more I played with all three of them.
I wanted them, and in more than just this way. I wanted it for more than sexual reasons, even if those were pretty great. I wanted to feel connected with them—I wanted to bond on a spiritual and emotional level from this experience like nothing else before.
Adam stood up, coming to my side, and Aidan went to take his turn. “Not that,” I said, as he got onto his knees.
“Then what?” he asked.
I smiled, winking, before he stood up, looking like he’d just won the lottery. “Are you sure?” he asked.
“If it’s okay with them,” I said, looking up at Tyvin and Adam as I tugged at their dicks. They nodded okay, and Aidan grabbed my legs and held them in the air.
He put them against his shoulders, and I felt myself dripping with anticipation. I bit my lower lip, looking down, as I could see he was a little nervous too. My eyebrows raised and my mouth opened as I felt him push inside me. I was tight, nothing before had ever gone into me, and especially nothing this big.
Aidan was intuitive, taking it slow and making sure we both enjoyed the experience. He was a careful lover, making sure my needs were just as taken care of as his.
I began to suck Adam’s dick as Aidan’s thrusts made my boobs bounce up and down. I closed my eyes, taking in every inch, as if I would never get the opportunity again. Tyvin reached forward, twisting my nipples a little, so I turned my attention to him, pushing him as far down as I could without choking.
Aidan pulled out, setting my legs back down, before Tyvin walked around, switching places with him. It felt so right, being with the three of them. I knew I’d made the right choice, no matter what anybody said. They were the kindest and most gentle lovers, making sure I enjoyed every second of the experience.
“How about this?” Tyvin asked, before jumping on the bed and using his air elemental powers to flip me on top of him.
“Tyvin!” I exclaimed, giggling.
I mounted him, the tops of my feet on his thighs, before I leaned forward so that he could finally experience me, and me him. “Shit,” I said, gripping his shoulder as he went in.
It was different than with Aidan—not better, just different. He was larger, definitely, and hid this well under his robes. Within a minute I’d warmed up to him, taking in his length and girth as if it were nothing.
I sat back, bouncing up and down on top of him, as he gripped my hips and guided me. Adam played with my boobs, almost mesmerized by them, as Aidan stood on the bed and let me play with him.
I gripped him with my right hand, kissing his cock in between sucks, as my left hand cupped his balls and massaged them gently. They were warm, just like the rest of him, and as I looked up at him, I smiled. He smiled back, winking, and I knew he was fine with being a part of my harem. As I tasted him, I knew he was very fine with it all.
“I’m going to finish,” Tyvin said, and I hopped off him. He stood up, mounting over me, before coming on my stomach, moaning. I watched in amazement, rubbing my own clit as he did so. I’d never before felt anything like this. As he knelt there, his heart racing and his cock thick and hung, he bent over, kissing me, letting me taste him one last time tonight.
Adam grabbed a towel and Tyvin cleaned me up, Aidan and Adam still biting at the bit to have me. Still in love with my mouth, Aidan decided to stay up top, as Adam licked his lips and jumped between my legs.
I gripped the sheets as Adam pushed in, my already dripping pussy lubing him up as he fit like a glove inside me. I moaned, Aidan coming up to me, as I stuck out my tongue and grabbed his head with it.
Adam was a little rougher than Tyvin, not knowing his own strength, so I put my hand on his stomach to signal him to slow down. He did. I looked up at Aidan, seeing the look in his eyes, as if my mouth was too much for him and he couldn’t hold it much longer.
I sucked harder, watching him squirm, as his abs flexed and his chest heaved. “Oh my god,” he said, teetering back and forth a little.
“It’s okay,” I whispered, and he moved to the side. Within seconds I felt his warmth against my breasts, as he roared out a moan from deep within him. He fell forward a little, catching himself with his hand, his chest red. I put my hand on his thigh.
“That was amazing,” I said, as he panted and looked down at me.
Adam, either turned on by me or by what just happened, pulled out, moaning, before he jerked himself between my thighs, coming on my stomach, and I put my head back in ecstasy and moaned.
I felt something so much more than the carnal with them, something metaphysical and spiritual, as if this was it, as if the gods and spirits were sending me a signal that this was what I was destined for.
They were now mine, until the day we died. They were my mates. They were my harem.

As the sun began to flee f
rom the sky the next day, I sat in my bathroom as Lena and Aira prepared me for the ceremony. I was nervous, my hands clammy, tapping my foot on the slate floor. What was I so nervous about? Was it because I knew I was defying fae culture, or was it because of actually receiving my elemental powers? I couldn’t be nervous about bonding to the guys, it was what I wanted, especially after last night.
They fell asleep with me, all of us together, just like I’d wanted all along. I felt safe with them, feeling their embrace. It only felt right.
“Done,” Aira said, and I looked up. My hair was pinned back, braided in a swoop along my crown, with little flowers and tiny shells intertwined throughout. I looked beautiful.
I stood up, swishing back and forth in my flowing off-white dress, smiling a little, before looking at them. “You’ll do great,” Lena said.
“I’m happy for you, for you all,” Aira said, and I hugged them both.
“Thank you for helping me. I won’t forget your kindness,” I said.
I walked out of my room and down the stairs, where the guys all waited in white suits. Tyvin had been taken out of his robes and put in something more formal. “Kira,” Adam said, as I walked down.
“You look,” Aidan said, his mouth open.
“Beautiful,” Tyvin replied, his eyes glistening.
“We will need to get going, the sun is beginning to set,” Aira said.
“Come,” I said, walking in front of them, a smile on my face. I walked outside where candles were lit as a carriage waited for me.
“Princess,” a man said, nodding, as he opened the carriage door.
“This is where we leave you. The carriage will take you to the ceremony. Best of luck,” Aira said, closing the door behind us after the four of us sat down inside.
The driver made a noise with his mouth and the seahorses began to move forward, the carriage rocking a little as we swayed inside. “Are you ready?” I asked, looking around at the three of them.
