"Next time it's just us, I wanna see that side of you again, but with some foreplay."
I leaned back to see his whole face burn red, but I held back a squeal when he nodded in approval. "O...okay."
Pulling from our embrace, I wrapped my hand around his and we made our way to the sleigh, where Theo was placing a warm blanket on the seat.
"How are we going to move when there are no wolves or reindeer or anything to pull the sleigh?" I asked.
Theo smirked and nodded to Hunter, who helped me into the sleigh.
"We'll show you," Theo assured me as he sat down and patted his lap. I gladly accepted the invitation and Hunter closed the door of the sleigh and sat in front of us.
The sleigh itself wasn't as big as it would have been in the movies, but it was the perfect size to fit at least four people. With only us three, it had a good amount of legroom, so we didn't feel cramped.
"You two ready?" Hunter asked.
"Yes," Theo and I said together, and Theo tightened his arms around my waist and placed a kiss on my right shoulder.
"Watch," he whispered.
I nodded and glued my eyes forward, as Hunter shuffled to the side to give me a view of the front. Staring for a full minute, I anticipated something would happen, but the sleigh stayed in place and the reins that would have been hooked up to wolves were still on the snowy ground.
Before I could ask, my eyes caught glimpse of something red. It was like a sparkle and I could feel the growing magic around us.
My eyes grew wide as the once-black sleigh began to transition to a gorgeous ruby red, looking like it was being freshly painted with holiday color.
A wind filled with sparkles of red, gold, and silver passed by us, wrapping around the sleigh and moving down the reigns.
I gasped when the sparkles multiplied and began to take shape, forming eight magical reindeer. Their bodies were translucent, only outlined in a red and gold, but they pranced their hooves on the ground and shook their heads as they readied for takeoff.
I braced myself as they began to move, the leader making an intriguing noise that sounded like a melodic note.
The sleigh started to move and Hunter reached out to hold my hand. I squeezed him tightly, unable to hide my thrilling happiness as we were pulled faster and faster through the woods and onto a specific path that headed for a cliff.
I didn't have a hint of fear as the build of magic around us amplified, giving us enough boost as the reindeer ran off the cliff and continued the path they were following into the sky.
I squealed and laughed, and Hunter and Theo joined in, all three of us appreciating the once-in-a-lifetime experience.
I never knew this was possible, but I was loving every second of it.
"This is amazing!" I exclaimed.
"Guess it worked out." Hunter smiled.
Theo chuckled. "Yup! Good change of plans."
"What was the original plan?" I asked.
"Well, I was supposed to go regular sleigh riding with you while Hunter was going to take you Christmas shopping, but the amount of snow did a bit of a damage to our plans and it's supposed to snow tomorrow as well," Theo explained.
"It's not like we're afraid of the snow, but most of the shops are outdoors. If there's too much snow, they don't open. I didn't want to take a chance with tomorrow, so I asked Theo if I could join in. We needed a bigger sleigh and decided a magic ride would be more exciting. With the change, we had to go back to town super early, which was the reason we asked Aaron to bring you out while we got everything ready," Hunter elaborated.
"Wow. You guys went through all of that just for me. I would have been happy just staying home," I admitted. All the effort made me feel beyond loved and I appreciated that they took so much time to plan this on short notice.
"We'd do anything to see you smile, Blessed Love," Theo whispered, placing a light kiss on his blessed mark, which made me shiver as a moan threatened to escape my throat.
"Besides, it gives us a moment of alone time with you," Hunter added, crawling over until his head was inches from mine.
My eyes lowered to his lips and before I could think, we were kissing while Theo returned to licking the nape of my neck.
I broke the kiss when I felt a hand slip beneath my skirt. "There's not enough space to have sex in the air," I noted.
"We don't need to have a threesome in the air to please our Blessed Love," Hunter pointed out. The hand that was now teasing the fabric of my lace underwear belonged to Theo, and he lightly tugged at my earlobe and whispered.
"Many other ways to tease you while enjoying the scenery."
I arched slightly as he moved the fabric of my panties to the side, the cold air tickling my entrance and helping to cool the growing heat.
Hunter lifted my sweater high enough to reveal my pastel pink bra with blue rhinestones and Theo unhooked the back, letting the bra fall from its hold. I shivered as the cool wind added to my growing arousal.
My hard nipples grew sensitive and I gasped when Hunter latched his mouth on my left breast, while he began to fondle the right.
Theo was busy teasing me, and without warning, he slipped his two fingers into my pussy.
"Theo...Hunter." I moaned, loving what they were doing. Theo moved his fingers slowly, sliding in and out while nibbling at my flesh. I couldn't take it anymore, wanting my lips to be occupied as well.
Turning my head just far enough that it wouldn't be too uncomfortable, Theo captured my lips, while his fingers continued to do their work in making me wet and Hunter continued to play with my breasts, leaving little kisses along the way.
The way Hunter licked around the sides of my breasts, leaving tiny bites before sucking hard on my nipples, drove me crazy and I moaned between my heated kisses with Theo.
I felt my lust build and from how soaked I knew Theo's fingers were, it wouldn't be long before I climaxed.
I broke the kiss and turned back forward, meeting Hunter's gaze as he flicked my right nipple with his tongue. He leaned up and kissed me hard while Theo increased his pace.
"You like this, Blessed Love. Do you enjoy being pleased by us in mid-air?" Hunter teased against my lips.
"Yes," I moaned, and then I felt a hand begin to tease my clit while Theo's fingers continued to thrust in and out.
"Fuck." I gasped and tried to hold back my release, and Hunter tugged at my bottom lip before giving me a fierce kiss.
Theo's hot breath tickled my neck as he whispered. "Don't hold back, Blessed Love," he encouraged.
"Cum, Celestia," Hunter ordered and smashed his lips on mine just as I came, muffling my scream as Theo's fingers stalled deep inside.
I trembled and pulled back to catch my breath. Hunter moved back to give me space and Theo finally moved his fingers out.
Opening my eyes slightly, I saw my juice cloaked around his fingers. I turned my head and followed Theo's fingers as he sucked my cum off them and deliberately licked his lips.
"You taste nice, Blessed Love," Theo whispered. I bit my lip, curious as to how I'd taste after he fingered me so well, and my eyes must have shown my curiosity because Theo shifted slightly so he could give me a deep kiss on the lips.
We began to make out and I groaned when I felt a slight lick along my folds. "Don't mind me. I'll be getting my taste of our Blessed Love," Hunter whispered.
Breaking the kiss, I pressed my forehead against Theo's as I moaned, shivering at Hunter's movement as he slipped his tongue deep into my pussy and began to eat me up like ice cream.
By the time he was done, I was panting and exhausted, my body burning and happy the breeze was chilled.
"Does it have to be Christmas to go on sleigh rides with you two?" I asked through pants.
The both of them chuckled and I looked to Hunter, who grinned. "Say the word, Cutie Pie. We can do anything you want." He winked at me and I smiled and turned to Theo, who nodded.
"We'll definitely do this again,” he assured me.
A
pleasurable adventure in a magical sleigh. Definitely a new tradition.
~FOUR DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS~
* * *
"The others are stuck at Faelia's?" I asked, tightening the soft blanket that was draped on my shoulders. Turning my body slightly to the right, I met Finn's calm expression as he presented me with a mug of Irish cream coffee.
It was my first time drinking it and from the aroma alone, I was excited to try it out.
"Yup. It's not snowing as heavy on our side, but apparently some students were trying out snow spells and cast a blizzard by accident,” Finn explained.
I took the mug and clinked it with his, both of us taking a few hesitant sips to test the temperature. I grinned at the creamy taste and began to drink it little by little.
Finn nudged me slightly and I looked up at him. "What?"
"Don't drink it so fast. There's alcohol in it."
"Huh? In coffee? I don't taste it," I noted, looking back at the coffee to try and distinguish the alcohol with my eyes. Finn chuckled, planting a kiss on my cheek.
"You won't be able to see it. I mixed it with the coffee before putting in the sweetener and foamed milk," Finn explained.
"Ah...that's so cool," I admitted. "I won't get drunk, right?"
"You have a decent tolerance. I think you'll be fine. Just don't drink mine too." Finn winked.
"I may steal some of yours," I purred.
He began to blush, but a small smile formed on his lips. "I'll make sure you don't go full drunk on me."
With a wide grin, we shared a slow kiss before returning to our coffees while watching the snowfall.
I was in a simple nightgown with unicorn fuzzy slippers, while Finn was in light green pajama pants. Most of the guys never wore shirts in the house, even now when it was colder.
Not like I had a problem with it. I loved the view.
Since it was snowing hard in some areas, today was a lazy day. I was actually happy to have a break since last night's sleigh adventure led us back to the cabin, where I was left spent after a heated threesome.
I had been doubtful that Theo and Hunter would work well together and they proved me wrong real fast last night. When we'd arrived home early in the morning, I was still spent and slept in all morning and afternoon.
By the time I'd woken up and showered, the sun had set and Finn had made us dinner. Now we were enjoying each other's company in our quiet dorm.
Watching the big snowflakes reminded me of the times Arielle and I would stare out the window, wondering if Magnor would be home for Christmas. Sometimes he'd come early, other times right before the clock struck twelve.
And for a few years, not at all.
With everything that I knew now, I was grateful nevertheless. Now that we'd closed one chapter with the High Council, I hoped it would mean I'd learn more about my family too. Get a chance to know about Mother's school life and get to know more about Hellsin and Harrison as well.
I felt like they had helped me in so many ways, even though I didn't know they were my Dads, but even with the truth being revealed, I still didn't know enough about their pasts.
Thinking about all the things I had to do always left me anxious, and it must have showed because Finn's strong arms wrapped around me as he gave me a hug.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Everything? I keep trying not to think about it, especially because we're on holiday break, but it's hard. When I get lost in my thoughts, it just pops up about how much we still don't know. I want to know more about who I am, about unicorn shifters and other shifters we don't hear about. I need to learn more about my dads. I mean, I know Magnor and Orlando, but do I really know them? I barely know anything about Hellsin and Harrison and I want to learn more about how Mom had created Alpha Pure and became their general. I have to figure out more about our dimensions and my gut tells me we're going to find a lot more info than we can handle. Then the queenship and being accepted by the townspeople. That...frightens me the most."
Finn tightened his hold around me and I stared down at the remaining coffee in my mug. "The people hated me. Despised me. Called me horrible names and made me wish I didn’t exist. Now they'll find out about my heritage and all we discovered. Then what? They're not going to suddenly change their mindset because they were taught otherwise. They all aren't going to bow down and say sure, let's have this unicorn shifter we've hated and treated like garbage for so many years lead the way and run our dimension."
I sighed and finished the rest of my coffee, hoping the lingering alcohol would help calm my nerves. "I'm scared, Finn. It's not like a frightening fear as if fighting Forsaken, but a fear of screwing up and failing. I know things will be okay somehow and I have all of you to support me along the way. Just...I really wish there was a simple path to this that would help me feel more reassured. I think we'll find one...just being patient is my problem. I guess with us going from one problem to the next, my body is just waiting for something else to pop out of nowhere and pull us in another direction."
"I don't know what I can say to truly help you feel less anxious, Celestia, but with every path we've traveled, it's not only given us the answers we needed but also made us stronger. I won't deny we may go down a path that leads to more questions, but in all honesty, that's okay. Remember, this isn't a race. We don't need to figure out all the answers to our questions right away. It's going to be a journey of discovery. Mother Nature will reveal the answers we need to know, and in time, we'll gain all the information we need. We just have to trust in Mother Nature to help us through this, just like she has with everything that happened in the past."
"Do you think Mother Nature will always be on our side?" I asked.
"I think so, though I don't know for sure. Whatever path she leads us down might be hard...but I have faith we'll be able to bring back the peace we've lost. I mean...I thought my family was gone for good and though I was upset at the world...I realized it meant they would be free from pain, and that brought a bit of a comfort. Who would have known you'd be taken to Alpha Pure and in the end, locate my missing family?”
I looked up as Finn looked down to meet my eyes and the warm smile on his lips made my tense shoulders relax.
"It's okay to be afraid of the future, Cutie Pie. It's normal to worry about not reaching people’s standards. It comes down to you not giving up and making sure you don't forget who you are. I think our anxiety, fears, and wish to create change sometimes pile up on us and try to change who we really are. You think being a leader means you have to follow a list of rules about how previous leaders ruled their kingdoms. But the reasons we’ve reached the places we have in life are because we were true to our own morals and values. We learned from our mistakes and didn't let bad influences change our viewpoints. If you remember who you are and are able to use your fears and anxiety as a positive push to grow, you'll be just fine."
He kissed my forehead and grinned. "Remember, we'll all be here to help and walk alongside you on whatever path you choose."
"You've really grown, Lucky Charms," I whispered.
"I've grown watching a beautiful, strong woman achieve many things. It inspires me to do better and learn how to become the best I can be," Finn replied.
We smiled and Finn took my cup from my hand to place it in the sink. I gave up on staring at the snow and moved to the couch.
Finn walked back over and sat down, patting his lap as he gave me a wide grin. "Come here, Cutie Pie."
I wasn't going to make him say it twice and crawled over to sit in his lap. I kept the blanket with me and wrapped us with it.
"Cozy," I whispered, and Finn nodded. "Very cozy."
"We can stay like this for a while, right?" I asked, resting my head on his chest.
"As long as you want, Cutie Pie. I love hugging you, especially in blizzard weather."
"Because you have me all to yourself." I giggled. He chuckled and looked down at me as I lifted my head slightly so our lips brushed.
"That too. Though I'll let you rest a bit more before we get busy with other things," he mumbled.
I began to blush but muttered, "As long as we get to before the others come home."
He blinked, his own cheeks growing red. "If that's what you want, we can always go now."
With a grin, I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him into a kiss. "I'd love that. We can be cozy in the sheets."
Finn smirked against my lips and scooped me up with ease. "Anything for you, Blessed Love."
With those words, he carried me upstairs and we enjoyed a cozy, pleasurable night between the sheets.
~TWO DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS~
* * *
"Odion?" I poked my head through the opening to the roof, my gaze going from left to right as I tried to spot my dark rider. I sensed he was somewhere in the house, but I'd searched all over and couldn't find him.
We were planning to go to the nighttime winter festival and the others had already left, leaving Orion, Odion, and me behind. Momo was still napping, but I wanted her to come along and experience the festival as well.
That required Odion, but after checking everywhere and making sure he wasn't taking a shower like Orion, I hadn't found him. The roof was the last place left to check.
My eyes landed on Odion, who was laid back with his hands behind his head. He had one leg crossed over the other, jiggling his foot up and down absentmindedly while his eyes stared up at the star-filled sky.
I slowly got onto the roof and walked over to where he was. I didn't say anything, but simply sat down next to him and followed his gaze to the stars. I still had a lot to learn about Odion, but I could tell he was deep in thought.
At least it wasn't super cold out and there wasn't any snow on the roof today, which could have been Cairus’s doing since he was in charge of clearing the snow.
A few minutes passed before Odion sat up and slowly turned to look at me.
"Oh." He looked as if he hadn't realized I'd been sitting next to him, and I watched a small smile of gratitude form on his lips. "Evening, my Queen."
