  Dedication

  To all the women who love sex, sin, and just a touch of scales.

  Mindy G and Krystal; I hope all your fantasies come true with this series. Please stop sending me pictures of your snakes, they scare the shit out of me.

  To my husband; Thanks for indulging my curiosity on reptile mating habits and maybe twisting them for the purposes of this series.

  To Everly Taylor, thank you for all the invaluable information on reptiles.

  Thank you to all my readers for the love and support you give me; without you this wouldn’t be possible.

  Thank you to my alpha readers for continuity checks, and inspiration when I need it most. You know who you are.

  I watched as the four new arrivals walked through the door and felt an unexplainable sadness wash over me. Maisie was weeping and tears rolled down her cheeks. The desire to get out of the room slammed into me and I stood, knocking over my chair. Yaga snorted himself awake and turned, noticing us for the first time. “Ahh welcome,” he yelled, and I looked over at him.

  Sic stood slowly and pulled Maisie to her feet. “Scáthach, can you please not project your sorrow for a few moments while we discuss things.” He tugged Maisie outside and the sorrow lessened significantly. It spiked a bit when Sic walked back in and looked at Zugo. “Go with her.”

  “I do not project the sorrow but pull the sorrow from those who have it. I am guessing someone has died recently and it impacted her greatly,” Scáthach spoke, and her voice sent chills up my spine.

  “Who are thessse three? I sssmell bird, dragon, and mage,” I asked, trying to focus on the men and not the scary woman standing in front of us.

  “Kreetik is a bird shifter, hummingbird to be specific, Athargos is dragonborn, and Aindreas is a mage. They are my mates and you will treat them with respect,” Scáthach spoke, and I realized her mournful voice was better than her murderous one.

  “I meant no disressspect, just curiousss,” I placated her, as I slowly sat back down in my chair.

  “You summoned us, so get to the point. You said you needed information, what kind?” Kreetik’s voice hummed as he spoke.

  Sic remained standing but spoke to them all, “We need information on the size of Vago’s army, and any other information you can gather.”

  “I want her pain as payment,” Scáthach demanded without thought.

  “I can’t accept that, but if it is pain you seek, there is to be a memorial for my youngest brothers, once this is over, and you can all come to that,” Sic spoke, and I looked out the door as Maisie and Zugo walked around the inner yard. I didn’t think Maisie would want to forget the pain of her mother’s passing. It seemed to fuel her fight against her father more.

  “A death has occurred that will shift the tide of war vastly. I suggest you seek out your brother,” Aindreas spoke softly, while looking at Sic.

  “I will accept your payment and will be at this memorial,” Scáthach spoke once more, before turning towards the door. Her three mates following in her wake. She bowed to Maisie from across the yard, then disappeared, taking her mates with her.

  “That is one creepy woman,” Kai shuddered as he spoke.

  “I feel like I want to cry,” I admitted, as the feelings slowly began to dissipate.

  “She isn’t evil. All Banshees are harbingers of death, they keen when a loved one is about to die, foretelling of death before it happens. We met her and her men the night our mate died,” Ahxezo whispered, while holding Yaga’s hand. “They have their role on Earth and here, and we must respect that.”

  “You are correct, we should respect that. Thank you both for the tea and the cookies, but it is time for us to leave. Have a wonderful evening,” Sic spoke, indicating we should rise. We waved goodbye and walked into the yard where Maisie and Zugo waited in the growing twilight.

  “I think dinner isss in order and then bed,” I said, as we all walked back into the castle together. Walking down the stairs to the kitchen, I was surprised when everyone followed. “I can cook on my own guysss,” I said, as I stepped into my favorite room.

  “We know, but it is cozier in here.” Maisie pulled me close for a hug, and then whispered, “I want grilled cheese.”

  I smiled and kissed her head. “Coming right up love.” I turned a began preparing to make Maisie the best grilled cheese she had ever eaten.

  After the amazing grilled cheese sandwiches had been consumed, we climbed the stairs to go to bed. I wasn’t exactly tired, but the last few days had been draining and Sic had plans to contact his brothers in the morning. Stripping the second my feet walked over the sitting room threshold, I walked into the bedroom and up into the bed. My emotions had settled as we ate, and now I kind of wanted to spend some alone time with the guys, or maybe even just alone.

  I flopped onto my stomach and felt the bed dip as the covers shifted over me. “Sweet d
reams Maisie.” Zugo kissed my lips softly before walking off to his room. Emot and Kai kissed me as well before heading off. Sic stood at the foot of the bed, watching the others walk off.

  “Is everything okay?” I asked, as he sat on the foot of the bed.

  “Everything is fine. Scáthach wanted your pain as payment but I told her no. I don’t know what all it entails, and I didn’t want to put you at risk. Did I make the right call?” He looked at me and I smiled.

  “Yes, even if the pain sucks, there is good that comes from it, I think.” I rose and crawled towards him. “What did she accept?”

  “I offered to let her come to my brothers’ funeral whenever that may be. There will be plenty of grief for her to feed off there,” Sic spoke quietly, as I wrapped my arms around his waist, hugging him tight.

  “Are you on watch tonight? Is that why you are still out here?” my question made him smile some, and he nodded. “I have an idea, but I don’t know if you will like it.” I pressed a kiss to his lips while running my hand along his cocks, the fabric pulling tighter as they hardened.

  “And what might this idea be?” he asked, as his hand slid up to my breast and cupped the underside. His thumb rubbed my nipple and I sighed in pleasure.

  “I was thinking we could go sit by the fire and do nasty things to each other,” I whispered into his ear, as I continued to stroke his cocks.

  “I guess we could do that if you aren’t tired yet?” Sic’s whisper was against my neck, as he began kissing my shoulder. He scooped me up, placing me in his lap before returning his hand to my breast. I could feel the ridges of both of his cocks on my ass, as I wrapped my legs around his waist. I locked my hands around his neck, his free hand slid down to my ass and he stood, carrying me one handed while the other continued to tease my nipple.

  He walked into the sitting room and slowly sat on the floor in front of the fire. His lips captured mine in a tender kiss as I rose onto my knees. Working his buttons free, I unzipped his pants, letting both cocks spring free. “I wanna taste you,” he hissed, as I wrapped my hands around both stroking a few times. “Stand up and turn around,” his command was soft but forceful, and I stood turning to face the fire.

  He pulled my legs apart, onto either side of his hips, then pulled me back so my ass was practically in his face. “Bend over and touch your toes,” he hissed, and I instantly bent forward, placing my hands on his thighs for balance. The minute my fingers touched his legs, his tongue flicked out to touch my clit. My knees almost buckled but he pulled my hips back more and slid his tongue between my folds.

  This new position didn’t allow me to move much, but I could lick the heads of both his cocks. “Is that what you want? My cocks in your mouth?” he asked, and I moaned a ‘yes’.

  His tongue slid deep into my pussy several times, before he pulled out to speak again, “Cum like a good girl and I’ll let you suck my cocks.” His fingers tweaked my nipples as his tongue returned to my pussy, fucking me faster. I felt him curl it under so his forked tip rubbed my g-spot and my knees began to shake. Each thrust added to the tension building in my body and I could feel myself beginning to drip as he worked faster.

  He held my hips steady in front of his face with one hand, as his other trailed across my ass. His finger swirled my ready hole and then be began to work his finger into the tight channel. I felt his tongue speed up even more as he worked his finger in, and my body screamed for release. Moving his finger slowly added a contrast to his tongue fucking me, and my body snapped. I cried out as I flooded his chin and chest with my cum, his growl of appreciation sending vibrations though my spasming body.

  He pulled his tongue out, but kept thrusting his finger in my ass as he spoke, “Do you still wanna suck my cocks?” His question caused me to shiver and moan a ‘yes’. He chuckled as he helped me move to his side, so I could kneel, his finger never leaving my ass.

  Bending forward on all fours, I licked first one cock from base to tip before repeating the action on the other. I felt his hand shift as he began to work a second finger into my ass. Sliding my mouth around both his cocks made him groan softly as I began to suck. “While you suck my cocks, I’m going to work your ass until you cum again,” his words sent a thrill of pleasure along my spine and I sucked him in deeper.

  I sucked his cocks slowly, matching the pace of his fingers. He added a third finger and I moaned around both cocks. Letting my basilisk transform my jaw, I swallowed the pair down to his base, making him groan. His hips bucked a few times, but he didn’t cum, and I marveled at his self-control. I moaned as he added a fourth finger. He pulled me off his cocks and slid his fingers out, tossing his shirt to the side, as he returned his fingers to my ass. “Pull my pants off.”

  He lifted his hips so I could work them down, all the while he resumed thrusting into my ass. Once his pants were off, he helped me straddle his hips again, only this time, on hands and knees. I felt the fingers of his other hand tease my slit before two slid in. “Gods, you look sexy letting me fuck you like this.” He added two more fingers to my pussy so that both holes had four fingers in them, and moving his hands together, my body loved every second.

  I looked back over my shoulder and his gaze was solely on his hands, as he began working his thumb into my pussy. The stretching felt so good I begged for more and he pressed his hand deeper with each thrust. I felt the pleasure build but still wanted more, needed more. By the time he was wrist deep I was begging for more.

  “That’s it, beg me,” he spoke softly, as I felt his other thumb circle my ass several times before he pressed in along with his other fingers. Repeating the actions, he had done with my pussy, he pressed his hand in more and more until he was moving both deep within me. “Did you know that a basilisk female can take everything her mate can give her?” he asked suddenly, and I shuddered as he began to speed up. “So, I think you can take more of me.” His legs curled under me until they disappeared altogether.

  Suddenly, I felt the massive head of his cock rub my clit, and just that little bit of contact had me screaming my release, as I came on his dick. As soon as my spasms faded, I felt him press the head of his cock along the underside of his hand. The hand inside my ass never stopped moving as he began to work his cock into my pussy. Before I realized, Sic’s cock was buried in my pussy along with his entire hand. I felt him wrap his hand around his cock and then he began to rub himself, as he fucked me.

  My body greedily took everything he gave, and I came again, harder. He hips began to thrust faster while his hand jerked himself off adding a counter friction to his thrusts. He swirled his hand around his cock hitting my g-spot several times. “I want this rug soaked the next time you cum.” He moved everything faster still and my body exploded in pleasure. I saw stars as his cock pulsed deep and he groaned. By the time my orgasm faded, I could see the spreading puddle on the rug below me.

  He slid his hands free slowly, wiping both off on his discarded shirt, before pulling me back against his chest. Picking me up, he rose from the floor and sat on the couch, patiently waiting for my body to release his. His arms held mine tight as I rested on his chest, my eyes beginning to drift closed. “Is it bad that I wanna see your pussy take all four of our cocks at once? It would take some gymnastics on our part, but it would be so hot,” he whispered, and I realized Sic had a naughty imagination and I loved it.

  “It would have to wait until after I’ve actually slept with Zugo, but I’m not opposed to trying,” I whispered, and I felt his cock pulse again, deep in my pussy. “Are we gonna be stuck for hours like Kai and I were?” I asked, as he helped me get more comfortable. The fire in the room was cozy and his body heat was warming my back, making it hard to keep my eyes open.

  “Don’t worry about it, just rest.” He kissed me gently and whispered, “I love you, honey.” I think I mumbled an ‘I love you’ back but sleep pulled me under swiftly, and I couldn’t tell if it actually came out of my mouth or not.

  Sic moaned in my ear as I slowly
woke up, his cock still locked deep in my body. I groaned as I realized we were still stuck together, and he had adjusted our position, so we were laying on the couch. “Good morning,” Sic whispered, and I realized there was sunlight streaming through the window.

  “Did I really sleep all night? I’m sorry.” His cock spasmed again and he growled softly.

  “It’s fine, honey,” he whispered, as I forced myself to relax my body, slowly cooperating, until he was able to slip free. He sighed softly as he rolled me towards him. Pressing his lips to mine, he kissed me deeply. “You know what sucked the most, is all I wanted to do was turn you so your head was on my chest, and I couldn’t.” He kissed me again as he crawled over me to get his pants.

  I just happened to glance down, and his entire cock was black and blue, and I gasped. “Oh, my Gods, that looks painful. What have I done?” The door opened and Kai and Emot walked out.

  Emot hissed when he caught the sight of Sic’s body, and Kai laughed. “You got trapped, too. Totally worth it.” He hopped over the couch and landed over me. “Good morning, sugar. Did you and Sic have a wild night?”

  I blushed, as memories of the previous night swirled around my mind, and Kai kissed my lips before working his way towards my neck and ear. “We saw everything, and fuck, was that shit hot. I think I jerked off three times before I could fall asleep,” his whisper was so quiet, I didn’t think I heard him correctly, and then his words registered.

  My eyes flew open wide and I looked at him. His grin was the only thing that said he was telling the truth. I pushed his chest softly and he rolled off the couch onto the floor laughing hysterically. Emot handed me a robe and helped me stand before kissing me. “Ignore him, pleassse. Why don’t you go ssshower and get ready, while I make breakfassst, Sssic’s brothers will be arriving thisss morning.” He kissed me softly before letting me walk off.

  I vaguely heard Kai ask Sic about last night, “Do you really think she could fit all four of us in there together?” I blanched and walked faster to the bathroom, not wanting to hear the answer. Opening my bathroom door, I was treated to the sight of cocks in the form of the mimic plants and giggled. Kai was beyond ridiculous and a flirt to boot, but he has worked his way into my heart, just like the others. I showered swiftly and then walked to my closet to dress.
