“I love Halloween, don’t you?” she teased, lifting her leg and running he hand down it. “I’m glad I thought of shaving earlier.” Her gaze met his. “Everywhere,” she teased.
Lance threw his head back and howled before he raced to the pond and dove in. Steel and Darwin splashed into it along with him. He reached the floating device and lifting his head out of the cool water.
Their woman lay on her stomach, now staring at him. “I’ve never been so scared in my life.” She cupped his cheek. “I knew you were mine, but the thought of losing you three before I could have you just wasn’t right.” She looked over at Steel and touched his swollen eye. “My poor Teddy Bear, to never have your arms around me, caring for me.” Tears rolled down her cheeks as she placed her hand on Darwin’s. “To love me, only me.” She rolled off the floating device, away from them.
She broke the surface of the water, and the drops of water rolling down her breasts had him sucking in his breath. “Damn,” Lance muttered, following her onto land.
Lance wrapped his arm around her, pulling her into his body. “Are you ready for tonight, Allie?” he asked, sliding his hands down her hips and cupping her ass.
“I’m healed. It’s one of the things those aliens did after they took us to the small house. I need you, all of you.” Her gaze went to Steel, then to Darwin. “I used to always need to be in control, but I find myself needing you three. The dominance, the care. I feel safe in your arms, and loved.”
He kissed the top of her head. “We’ll always take care of you, poppet.” Lance stepped back. “Steel, place our woman on the bed she made for us. Let’s make her ours this night.”
Chapter Nine
She rested her head against Steel’s chest when he picked her up and moved to the bed she had made for them. “I missed your arms last night, Steel. In them, I’ve never felt so safe and loved.” She placed a kiss over one of the many scratches on his chest. “I hate seeing you hurt.”
“A few cuts and bruises are nothing, as long as we have you in our arms, heart and soul.” He laid her down on the pillows and cupped her cheek. “Once we claim you, it won’t be easy. I’m possessive and I’ll need your submission. We all will.” He kissed a path down her neck and sucked her nipple into his mouth.
“Steel,” she whispered, grabbing his hair, but Darwin soon joined Steel at her other breast. “God, yes!” Allie said, loving their touch and their mouths on her. She looked up to see Lance staring at her as Darwin and Steel slipped a hand each under one of her knees and spread her open for him.
Lance’s gaze met hers. “You are ours. Our orders might seem strict, but everything we do will be for you, your health, happiness, and your pleasure.” He knelt and rubbed his cheek against her thigh. “Your scent will be buried into our souls.” He licked her hard, moaning deeply. “Your taste will be engraved into our taste buds, and we will crave you always,” he mumbled around her pussy lips before he pushed his tongue into her. His growl was like a vibrator against her clit.
“Fuck, fuck, ouch.” She glared down at Lance, and his gaze held hers.
“I don’t like that word coming out of your mouth. Don’t let me hear it again,” he snarled. Her pussy lips still burned from him smacking them. He looked down and he smiled. “Hmm, look at all of those juice sliding from you. I do believe you like a little pain,” he said before leaning down and running his tongue over her now-sensitive lips. “You are ready,” he said as Darwin and Steel released her breasts but continued to hold her open as Lance lifted up, grabbing onto his cock and pumping it a few times as he stared down at her.
“The first time is a claiming. The second and third is a loving that will light up the dark sky, shining upon the Dark Moon, giving all hope for love,” Lance said.
A lump formed in her throat and tears filled her eyes. “No one has said such beautiful things to me. Love me,” she pleaded.
“Always,” he growled, inching forward and rubbing his cock on her pussy lips before sliding into her slowly. “So damn tight and ours finally.”
“Yes, I am, always.” Allie reached up, trying to touch him, but as soon as Lance was inside her all the way, he grabbed her and flipped both of them. She now stared down at him, his green eyes smiling up at her.
Behind her, Darwin moved up and ran his hand over her ass. “I get to breach your ass first,” he growled before biting her butt check.
“Darwin,” she growled and glared back at him. “That hurt,” Allie moaned as Lance sucked one of her nipples into his mouth.
“It was meant to,” Darwin said before running his tongue over the spot he’d nipped. “I’m going to fuck your ass, Allie, and you’re going to suck the bear’s cock, loving us all.” He smacked her other butt cheek.
Lance released her nipple. “She squeezed my cock when you did that. Hurry up, Darwin. Quit playing around.”
“Impatient…” Darwin mumbled something else that she couldn’t understand, but Lance apparently did. He reached up and smacked Lance in the head.
“Watch it,” he growled.
“Hey, don’t do that when I’m between you two,” she growled and leaned down to nip Lance’s nipple.
“Damn, woman, that hurt,” Lance growled, smacking the side of her butt.
“Then quit smacking Darwin and pay attention to me. I’m the one who needs the loving here,” she pouted.
Lance pushed his fingers through her hair. “Oh, poppet, we’re going to love you tonight like you’ve never been before.” He tugged her head down and covered her mouth with his. His tongue slid inside, doing dirty-dancing moves with her tongue, while Darwin worked lube inside her ass before inching his cock past her tight ring that had only been breached a few times before.
Breaking the kiss, Allie gasped for breath. “Damn, you can kiss,” she moaned, glancing to the side, where she saw her bear coming up to her, stroking his thick cock.
“Kiss my cock, my little Allie,” Steel said, a bit of his accent coming out as he cupped her cheek.
She wetted her lips before placing a kiss on the head of his cock and taking the drop of his cum onto them. He tasted salty and sweet, almost like a caramel apple. Allie opened her mouth and covered the tip of his cock.
“Look at how beautiful you are, sucking my cock while our mates love you.” Steel moaned.
Three set of hands touched her, joining their bodies with hers, connecting them all. Allie’s insides started to heat up. She swore the blood in her veins had some sort of jumping vein inside her.
As she cupped Steel’s balls, she noticed her skin was now pinkish. But that wasn’t nothing as behind her Darwin snarled and grabbed on to her hips before slamming into her. Lance joined him, and the force of their thrusts grew faster and stronger.
“I don’t know what…is…going…on, but someone…is squeezing the fuck out of my balls!” Lance growled, finding her little nub and stroking it.
“We come together,” Lance growled, but Allie barely heard him as she attacked Steel’s cock, trying to take as much as she could of it inside her mouth.
Pleasure and a sense of peace and belonging came over her. She whimpered around Steel’s cock. Muscles in her body tensed, her toes curled, and Allie shivered as her orgasm took over.
Steel stiffened in her hands, and his warm seed pushed down her throat as Lance’s cock entered her pussy and Darwin’s her ass. Her ears rang, and she swore she heard her men howl, but all of a sudden she was exhausted as she started to come down from the orgasm.
Steel pulled out of her, and Lance mumbled something before placing a kiss on her cheek as she closed her eyes. “So tired.”
* * *
“She’s out cold,” Lance said, lowering her to the pillows and pulling away from her. Darwin and Steel walked into the water to clean up.
“You know what she’s given us, right?” Lance said, watching over their woman as his mates finished cleaning themselves.
Darwin and Steel ducked under the water. He swore it seemed as if elect
rical currents were running through him. He held out his hands and shook his head. Not only was Allie’s skin now a red tint like Darwin’s, but so was his and Steel’s.
Allie shivered, and he wished he had a blanket just before one appeared at his feet. “Damn,” he whispered, picking it up and covering her. After tucking the blanket around her, he stood to see Steel and Darwin moving up to him.
“You’re now part Demon. I’ve informed my parents and grandparents. Did you know my grandfather knew this would happen? Sometimes I want to, if he wasn’t my elder…” Darwin growled.
Steel slapped Darwin’s shoulder. “At least you had a family.” He nodded to her. “I think that’s another reason I feel so close to her, since I was raised by my friend’s mom. I know one thing: our children will know their parents.”
Lance reached over and squeeze Steel’s arm. “That they will. My turn.” He moved into the water and sighed before dipping under the cool treat. So much was going through his head. Where would they live? Could they really leave this world when her family was here? He rose and moved back toward his mates.
“We have guests coming,” Darwin said, nodding to the right. “Seems like they’re going to tell us our fates, as if we didn’t know already.”
Clothes covered his body as Allie stirred, looking around. “Well hell, I passed out, didn’t I?” she asked and stretched out her leg, which shot out of the blanket.
“We have company,” he said as clothes covered her body.
She jumped up and stretched, looking at the dark green dress she now wore. It was formal with the back dipping down, almost touching the ground behind her. “Not really my style, but it will do. So I take it I’m part demon now too?” she asked as the six strange men that had started all this faced them.
“I didn’t do it,” Steel said.
“Neither did I.” Darwin and Steel turned to Lance.
“I did. She is in the proper clothing to be introduced to your people. If you will follow us, please, the others are waiting,” the spokesperson for the six men said.
Lance held out his hand, not at all liking that the man had clothed his female, but he said nothing. Allie placed her hand in his and squeezed it, almost as if reassuring him it was okay. Steel moved to her other side while Darwin moved behind her as they silently followed the others, not knowing what the hell was going on.
They stepped into the clearing where the fighting had taken place and were amazed at the transformation. Candles, pumpkins, and food were all around them, and a few hundred people were in attendance. Off to their right Whitney moved toward them with her mates next to her. To the left of their group, Marci approached with her mates as all eyes turned to them and everyone bowed.
In the middle of the field, the six men turned. “Please welcome your new kings and queens. Each of these family units are bound together by the females, who are sisters. Once long ago, our worlds were run by men who didn’t listen to the signs, and who wanted to conquer all.” Lights lit up the sky, and three separate doors opened in the sky .
“Queen Whitney, you and your men now can feel the connection to your people, from this world and the other. No matter where you choose to live, your people will know where to contact you.” Two men next to the spokesperson bowed to them, and Lance knew then that they were a wolf and a vampire.
Whitney sucked in her breath ad her eyes got big. “Damn, that’s some powerful stuff,” she said and shook her head.
“Marci, you and your men are now the heart and soul of your people,” the man said, shifting into a Gargoyle and bowing to them.
“Shit.” Marci shook her head as Garth snarled.
Allie squeezed Lance’s hand as the rest of the group in front of them shifted into two demons and two fae. “Two worlds are joined together. Fae and Demons. Allie, you and your men are both. While there is a queen of the fae, she is queen in name only. You and your men will rule over both worlds. It will be hard since they have both hated each other for a long time, but with your family’s experience, you will do well.” The six men formed a circle and bowed to the middle of it.
A circle of fire seemed to dance from each of the six individuals. They whispered words Lance didn’t understand right before a warm wind blew across their skin.
“Son of a bitch.” Allie release his hand and grabbed her chest.
Lance had to agree. The weight of what was just given to them humbled him. Allie whimpered next to him.
“So many,” she said.
Steel wrapped his arm around her as Lance grabbed her hand again. Darwin placed his hands on her shoulders. “The moon is bright, even though it’s dark. Your heart is that of our people, while our strength is there for our people. Our children will be theirs, and theirs will be ours. We feel the cries of those that need us, but we hear the hope in their hearts,” Darwin said from behind them.
Frank stepped forward. “Together our families welcome all. We will come together each Dark Moon and celebrate all that we have, but also plan to help those in need. We know it will take time, but we”—Frank raised his hand, indicating all of them—“promise one thing. Never will we allow anyone to destroy the bond that was given to us this night.”
Garth stepped forward. “Worlds apart, but so close this Dark Moon, heals and seals our bonds. Our women, sisters of the heart, are now the souls of all us. Here’s to new beginnings, new hopes, and births.” Garth placed a hand on Marci’s stomach and she smiled.
Allie stepped forward, shocking them all, including the six, who turned to her. “I have been lost and gave up, but tonight my sisters and I thank you all for this honor. But mostly—” she turned her gaze to Steel, then Darwin, then to Lance. “I thank the three of you for giving me my life back. For saving my heart and soul, which I thought were gone. In a matter of four days, I’ve gone from despair to knowing that as long as I have you beside me, guiding me, I have the world. Thank you.” She turned and looked out at the people. “So from someone who knows the hardships that falls on some of us, we are here for you and will do everything we can to make your lives happy.”
Lance’s cock hardened as music started to play. “Let the celebration begin. We are now safe for another millennium.” Shouts and whistles filled the night air, but he only had eyes for their woman.
He had to admit the dress hugged her body, and knowing she wore nothing under it and their scent was all over her had him puffing out his chest a little, along with adjusting his cock in his pants.
“I still want my Scottish wedding, and you in kilts,” she said, looking over her shoulder at him before slowly turning to him.
“Scottish wedding, kilts?” Whitney said, coming to her side. “Hmm, I think that would be so cool. Marci, I really think we need another wedding. What do you think? I mean, we did promise each other when we were children to have a wedding together.”
“I like it and the kilt idea.” Marci glanced over at her men and they growled.
“I’m not wearing a kilt,” one of the gargoyle brothers grumbled.
“Fine, no honeymoon for you,” she snapped back.
Lance could see the heat rise in the man’s eyes. “Fine, kilts it is, but we really need to decide where we’re going to live.”
“As I said before, it matters not where you live. There will never be distance between the sisters. Once you have chosen your home, there will always be a door to take you to where they are. This door will also take you to the realms you rule,” the gold man with blond hair and shiny pants said once more, coming over to them.
“There is much for you to learn, but you have time.” The man held out his hand, and a woman stepped up to him. “We will stay until you are ready, and we are here to help in any way we can.”
“Wait? You mean all of you?” Allie asked.
“Yes, we were in your place one thousand years ago. It is our time to step down to hand over the responsibilities of our people. Plan your wedding and enjoy your time. Each of us will be working with you over the next year
. As we work with your men, our mates will help guide you three. Now enjoy your evening as I plan to enjoy mine.” He spun his mate around, and she laughed as they moved out to dance with the others in the field.
“I so didn’t see that coming. Do you think we’ll be that happy in a thousand years?” Allie turned and looked up at Lance.
Lance pulled her into his arms. “Poppet, as long as we have you close, we will be fine.” He went to kiss her, but Steel yanked her out of his arms. “Damn it, Steel,” he grumbled, watching as Steel swept her out onto the dance floor.
Allie threw her head back and laughed, a sparkle in her eyes as she winked at him. “I really didn’t think I’d see her smile like that again. Thank you,” Whitney said to him as Frank took her out to dance.
Darwin stepped up next to him. “I believe we should make our home here on earth, where the night of demons and goblins is celebrated. Allie wouldn’t make it in the other realms.”
“I have to agree. I’m thinking Steel would have a problem with it also. How would you like to take over Steel’s old family estate?” Lance questioned, earning a moan from Darwin, but he could see the hint of laughter in his eyes.
“I think you just made our bear a very happy man.” Darwin nodded to Allie and Steel. Steel had tears in his eyes as he looked toward him. For a man as mean as Steel was, their bear was a big softy when it came to their family. Yes, Lance loved each part of their family unit.
“Looks like I’ll be wearing a kilt more often,” Lance said, looking at Darwin. “I guess that’s what we get for teasing him so much.” He nudged Darwin, who nodded. “But I have a feeling we’ll bring light to his dark homestead. With Allie around, our lives will always be filled with laughter. “He smiled as Allie stood there soaking wet, glaring at Garth.
“We better grab our woman before her swords appear,” Lance laughed running out onto the field and lifting Allie up and throwing her up in the air. “No killing your brother,” he said, earning a laugh as he caught her and hugged her as she wrapped her legs around him.
