“Excuse me, Lieutenant?”
He nodded stiffly. “Your Highness?”
“There’s a distraught woman in there saying all sorts of bizarre things,” I sighed and shook my head. “I think she may be drunk, or on drugs.”
He frowned. “Sir, that’s not really—”
“In particular, some very concerning stuff about the King?”
His eyes darkened, and I fought back the grin.
Now I had his attention.
“Yeah,” I shook my head. “Something about “taking him out?”
The man’s eyes went wide, his hand flying to the radio at his side.
“I’m sure it’s nothing, I just wanted to let you know.”
“Absolutely,” he hissed. “King Lucian appreciates your keen ears, Your Highness.”
He spoke rapidly into his radio, his hand on the gun at his hip as he turned and ran down the hallway.
I turned to see Cade grinning at me.
“You’re a bastard.”
“Fuck her,” I spat. “I’ll do what I have to, and right now—”
“Right now we have to find Ilana,” he finished for me, his face grim.
A flash of green caught my eye, a flurry of green gown and red hair disappearing around a corner down the hallway the guard had just been standing watch over.
Cade caught the same thing, and we both ran after her.
“Princess Imogen!”
She froze, gasping slightly as she whirled towards us in surprise. “Prince Caspian, Prince Cade?” She blinked in surprise. “We meet again.”
“I need to find your sister.”
“We need to find your sister,” Cade said quietly.
She frowned before, suddenly, her eyes went wide.
“Oh my God.”
“It’s not what you think,” I growled.
“Well, it might be a little of what you think,” Cade muttered.
Princess Imogen’s face was bright red, her hand by her lips as her eyes darted between us.
“I— I have to go…”
“We only want...” I shook my head. “She’s everything, Princess. I know it might be hard for you to understand, and I don’t even know how to convey this to you without sounding sordid, but…” I took a deep breath.
“She completes us in a way I can’t even begin to—”
“Okay, okay.” She smiled softly, nodding “I think I do get it, actually.”
“It’s nothing scandalous,” Cade said quickly.
“She said otherwise.”
I frowned but Imogen grinned. “I think Ilana needs a little scandal in her life,” she said with a twinkle in her eyes as they darted between us. “Wow. Both of you, huh?”
“We love her,” Cade said softly. “More than anything in this world, we love her.”
Imogen bit her lip, nodding. “She’s—” She stopped, shaking her head and looking away, as if conflicted.
“Princess, please.”
She turned back, smiling kindly at us and nodding. “She’s in the gardens, I’m almost sure of it. She goes there to think a lot.”
“Thank you,” I growled as we whirled.
“Wait, you haven’t— I mean…”
I turned back to see her brow knitted as she looked down at her hands.
“You haven’t seen your friend Magnus, have you?”
“No, I—”
My eyes went wide.
Interesting.
“Should I point him in a direction if I do?” I grinned at her, watching her face turn pink.
“Oh, not, I— that’s quite alright,” she stammered.
“I never told you where to find Ilana, by the way.”
“Lips are sealed. And I never told you that deep down, Magnus is one of the best guys I know, and if you can get through all his bullshit, he’s the most loyal man I’ve ever met.”
She grinned, and I winked at her as we started to turn.
“Caspian? Cade?”
Both of us glanced back at her.
“Be good to her, I mean it.”
“We’ll never hurt her, I swear it,” Cade said quietly.
She nodded. “Don’t or I’ll kill you.”
She whirled and disappeared through the doorway.
I raised a brow at Cade.
“Shit,” he chuckled. “I hope Magnus knows what he’s into with that one.”
“I doubt it,” I snorted.
“Ready to go get the girl?”
“I’ve never been more ready.”

Ilana
I burst out of the side of the castle, the night air hitting me like a balm.
Don’t cry.
I refused to cry. I refused to give into the emotions raging through me. I’d lost, again. I’d given in, and believed the bullshit, and of course, I’d been wrong.
I’d followed what I hoped was my heart, only to be betrayed again.
Of course, two men like that weren’t after anything more than what I’d given so readily in that library. And I’d fallen for it hook, line, and sinker like a total freaking idiot.
I brushed through the gardens, still trying to keep the brimming tears from falling. I loved it out here — the high stone walls and the cover of the Japanese Maple and Cherry Blossom trees giving me cover, and secluding me away from all that bullshit.
I sighed as I slumped onto one of the stone benches, my hand clenching in my lap.
Maybe I needed to get away for a while — travel, do something to take my mind off of all this. I mean, what had happened had been amazing, and I knew then with a twinge of even more bitterness that no man would ever live up to even one of the Charmings, let alone both of them together, like I’d had.
Not a chance.
I’d never come like that before, and I knew no sex would ever compare to that. Which sucked, because I was never going to see them again.
“Ilana.”
My heart jumped into my throat at the sound of them. My eyes darted around the dark garden as I stood, heart thumping as I considered running, or hiding in the bushes or—
“Wait, please.”
I whirled. There they stood, the moonlight bathing them in light.
“Please,” Cade said quietly, his jaw tight. “Don’t run. Just stay and listen.”
I shook my head. “Why should I?”
A single tear burned the corner of my eye, just looking at them like this. God I hated that I’d been had like this.
“Stop,” Caspian shook his head. “Stop what you’re thinking, cause I can see it all over your face.”
“Look, sex is sex, okay?” I hissed. “I get it, alright? I get that—”
“What happened back there? With you and us?” Cade’s jaw tightened. “That was not just sex, not by a fucking mile.”
They moved towards me, and I took a step back.
“Ilana,” Cade whispered, his eye holding mine. “Listen to what we’re saying. You know we’re not lying.”
“Do I?”
“Yeah you do,” Caspian growled. “You know you do, because you know how we all click.”
I looked away, trying to will that single tear not to fall down my cheek.
It did anyways
“You talked to Emilia.”
I whirled back, the anger bubbling up. “Yeah, I did.”
“And you don’t think that maybe she had ulterior motives to fuck with us? With you?”
I shook my head. “What are you saying?”
“I’m saying it’s all bullshit,” Caspian gritted out. “I’m guessing she saw us with you earlier, saw us all disappear, and put two and two together.”
“She’s a bitter, broken woman, Ilana,” Cade said softly.
“Choice words,” I spat. “Coming from the guys who almost married her.”
Caspian’s face darkened.
“She tell you that?” Cade hissed.
When I didn’t answer, he swore loudly into the darkness.
“I could laugh, exce
pt it’s not funny right now.” He shook his head. “No, Ilana, we never came close to marrying her. Us with her before?” He shook his head again. “It was never real. It was never even close to what we’ve found with you after one night.”
“It was a pale imitation of the girl we hadn’t found yet,” Caspian growled. “You.”
My heart tensed.
“Listen to what we're saying, please.” Cade’s eyes burned into mine as they moved towards me. This time, I didn’t move away.
“She said that shit to you to get to us. To fuck with us.”
“Why?”
He shook his head. “I don’t know. She’s a bad person I guess.”
“But you know we’re not,” Caspian said, stepping forward. “You know we meant everything we said, and I know you know that.”
I looked down, feeling them move even closer.
“Ilana.”
I looked up, gasping at how much closer they were as I glanced up and lost myself in both of their eyes.
“I love you,” Cade whispered, reaching out with a hand and taking mine.
“And I love you,” Caspian said as well, taking my other hand. “We’ll never hurt you, ever.”
Cade shook his head. “We’ll never treat you as anything less than the love of our lives.”
I was on the edge. I wanted so badly to say yes, and fall into them, but I hesitated. And I knew why.
Fear.
I was scared of how I felt for them — how I felt for two men. What would people say? About them? About us? About this whole thing?”
I shook my head. “People will—”
“Fuck what people say.”
I gaped as they both pulled me close, right against them both.
“Ilana.” Cade shook his head. “Who gives a fuck what they all say? Look, our father was a damn mechanic who worked for my mother’s family.” He shrugged. “That didn’t stop them, and this won’t stop us.”
“It’s unconventional, and yeah, people will talk, but...” He shrugged again.
“Fuck em, I say,” Caspian interjected, and suddenly I was grinning along with the both of them.
“Atta girl,” Caspian murmured, breathing me in as he pulled me close.
“What does this mean?” I breathed.
“It means we love you, unconditionally, forever,” Cade murmured.
My heart raced.
“It means we want you to be our queen.”
I blinked “Together? I—” I shook my head. “How would that work?”
Caspian shrugged. “We’ll figure it out.”
“Can you even do that?”
“We literally rule the country,” Cade chuckled. “Yeah, we can do that.”
My head spun, a warmth glowing through my body as I suddenly realized that this could be real. What I’d found with the two of them could be everything, for always.
And it stunned me, leaving me breathless.
“I— I mean—”
“Say yes,” Cade whispered. “Say you’ll be with us, and be our queen, and—”
“Yes.”
I tumbled into them, throwing my arms around them both and saying it again and again until I was shouting it.
“Yes!”
Caspian beamed as he scooped me up and kissed me.
“I love you,” I whispered into his lips, melting into him. I turned, moving into Cade and feeling his arms circle me.
“And I love you,” I husked, sinking into Cade as I felt Caspian move in behind me and run his hands up my sides. I melted into them, feeling powerful arms and strong hands hold me tight, surrounding me in their warmth.
“Fuck do we love you,” Cade growled fiercely.
“Show me,” I whispered.
They didn’t hesitate another second.
I gasped as hands tightened on me, and hard-packed bodies pressed tightly against mine. I could feel both of them stiffening in their tuxedo pants — two thick, beautiful cocks belonging to the two gorgeous, wonderful men I loved, growing hard for me. I shivered, whimpering as I felt Caspian press against my ass, Cade’s throbbing shaft pulsing against my belly.
Cade’s lips found mine, growling as he kissed me with a ferocity that had me breathless. Caspian’s lips found the tender spots on my neck, biting and sucking and making me cry out into his twin’s lips. Two sets of hands skimmed up my body, cupping my breasts, teasing my nipples through my gown and grabbing my hips tightly.
Caspian spun me around, groaning as he claimed my mouth. His tongue tangled with mine, his stubble teasing my lips and his hands yanking me tight against him. Cade began to kiss down my back, making me shiver and moan as he suddenly dropped to his knees. His hands skimmed down my sides, down to the hem my gown, and I whimpered as he started to pull it up my legs. He pushed it high, groaning as my ass came into view. One hand holding my dress high, his other one grabbed my panties and roughly yanked them down, exposing me to his hungry eyes.
His mouth trailed up the backs of my thighs, his hands skimming up my leg and pushing them wide as Caspian held me fast, kissing me fiercely. I could feel Cade’s mouth moving higher, making me gasp as his wet tongue slid right up between my legs. I groaned as I felt his mouth on my pussy, his tongue dragging over my lips and making me shiver in pleasure as Caspian’s hands held my hips firmly.
He let one hand slip down, pushing down between my legs, and I whimpered as I felt his finger roll over my clit as the other man pushed his tongue deep inside.
I started to rock against them, my legs trembling and my moans drowning in Caspian’s lips as Cade’s tongue drove me wild. He moved back suddenly, sliding his tongue back over my lips as his hands went to my ass. Fingers dug into my skin as he pulled me wide, and as his tongue slipped back even more, I whimpered.
His wicked tongue swirled over my asshole, making me cry out again. Caspian’s hand dipped lower, two fingers curling up inside of my pussy as he ground his palm against my clit. He moved his hand faster, his fingers curling deeper as Cade’s tongue began to fuck my ass. I started to shake, and tremble, and as the stars started to dance in front of my eyes, I let go.
I came, hard, screaming into Caspian’s mouth as his fingers and Cade’s tongue pushed me right over the edge.
I’d barely caught my breath when the two of them were on me, stripping me from my gown until I was nude and bare for them under the moonlight. I watched, biting my lip and feeling my pulse race as the two of them stripped down to hard chiseled muscles, smoldering eyes, and rock-hard cocks, before they were on me again.
I gasped as they pressed into me from both sides, Cade at my front and Caspian behind me. I reached forward and back, a hand wrapping around each of their pulsing hard cocks and stroking them as their hands explored my body.
We sank to the soft grass, on top of a pile of their tuxedo’s, Cade kissing me fiercely as Caspian’s hands and lips moved down my spine. He pushed me forward onto my knees, and I moaned as I felt his hands pull my ass up high. His thick cock head slipped up and down my pussy, teasing me and making me quiver as my arousal dripped freely down his shaft.
I pulled away from Cade’s mouth, grinning wickedly at me as I moved to his chest, kissing his skin and slowly moving lower. My hands dropped to his cock, stroking his massive shaft and reaching beneath to cup his balls as I felt his twin begin to push inside.
I groaned as Caspian slowly filled me, easing every single thick, glorious, pulsing inch of his fat cock deep inside my pussy. He growled, hands on my ass, holding me tight as he pushed forward until he was buried to the hilt, his girth stretching me and making me whimper in pleasure.
I dropped my mouth lower, kissing my way down Cade’s chiseled abs until I let my breath tease over his cock. I wet my lips with my tongue, slowly pressed them to his tip, and then sank my mouth down over his cock. He groaned, his hands finding my hair and holding it in his fist as I started to bob on his dick.
Behind me, Caspian began to drive in and out of me with deep, powerful thrusts, fillin
g me up entirely on every stroke and leaving me aching for it all over again as he pulled out. Fingers dug into my skin, and the masculine groans from both of them had my head spinning as they started to take me from both ends.
I could feel my whole body quivering, shaking and tumbling towards the inevitable, when they suddenly pulled away from me with a groan. Strong, powerful hands turned me, spinning me on my knees. I found myself pulled back against Cade’s chest, his hands sliding to my hips as he pulled me back into his lap. His throbbing cock slipped against my aching pussy, and his hand reached between us to part my lips and guide his head inside.
I gasped, sitting upright on my knees as Cade drove every inch of his cock deep inside in one thrust. Caspian stood in front of me, his cock — slick from my pussy — bobbing in front of him in the moonlight. He stepped forward, and I hungrily wrapped my lips around his throbbing shaft. I could taste my own sweetness on him, and it only drove me on, swirling my tongue around him as Cade began to drive in and out of me. His hands gripped my hips tightly, rocking me back and forth and sliding me up and down his cock. Caspian’s hand tangled in my hair, guiding my lips up and down his thickness.
I could feel myself start to fall again, and I knew this one was going to shatter me. There, in the solace of the garden, with the two men I’d somehow completely fallen for, it all started to come crashing together. The two of them dominated me, and manhandled me in such a way that I could just let go, and let them take me the way. I could just fall into them and let the pleasure roll through me as they pushed me higher and higher, taking my body and my heart, together.
“Fuck, baby girl,” Cade groaned into my ear, his teeth grazing the skin there. “You’re going to make me come. This sweet, tight little pussy is going to make me explode.”
I only moaned louder, humming around Caspian’s shaft as I felt them both start to move faster, and harder, before suddenly, my whole body exploded.
The climax ripped through me, my whole body seizing up and then shattering in one explosive release. I pulled away from Caspian, screaming my release into the night sky as Cade drove in and out again and again, making me come again and again. He roared as he drove in balls-deep, and suddenly, I could feel his thick cock pulse deep inside. I dropped my mouth back to Caspian, sucking him as deep and as hard as I could as I stroked his shaft.
