Page 48 of Klarissa's Atonement

Her climax ripped through her like fire, her scream muffled against Rune’s lips as he kissed her through it.Her body clenched around them, dragging both men over the edge with her.

As she came down from her high, she realized both her mates had held on, not giving into the climax she had assumed hers had triggered.Refusing to only take and not give, she moved.

She rode them both, hair falling wild, sweat dripping down her back as her cries grew louder with every thrust.Kamon’s hands molded her hips, forcing her rhythm, while Rune teased her breasts, nipped at her throat, until she shattered again.This climax was slower, molten, dragging her down into a pleasure so deep she sobbed through it.And more importantly, they followed her, their roars mingling, filling her so completely she thought she might never breathe without them again.

When the frenzy softened into tenderness, one of her mates—she couldn’t tell who—gently cleaned her before they curled around her.Warm mouths trailed soft kisses across her shoulders, her neck, her brow.Rune kissed her temple, his chest still heaving.“We love you.Never doubt it.”

Kamon pressed his forehead to hers.“Thank you for giving us another chance.”

Her laughter bubbled up between tears, and she kissed them both in turn.“I promise I’ll never keep anything from you again.No more trying to solve the world’s problems on my own.”

Rune brushed his knuckles along her cheek.“We felt you reach for us, Klarissa.When you thought you were going to die.That’s when the bond healed.That’s how we found you.”

Kamon’s voice was rough.“And now it’s unbreakable.”

She nodded, emotion choking her.“I need you both.Always.”

They held her close, warmth and love binding tighter than steel.Talk shifted, softer now, to the future.

Rune sighed.“I hope the ESE find their mates, their happiness.They deserve it.And even if they don’t settle down, maybe they’ll train the next generation.Someone has to keep the world safe.”

Klarissa smiled through her tears.“They will.Just like we will.”She exhaled, her voice steady.“This is my atonement.For everything I helped create, for every shadow I carried.Loving you both.Choosing us.Protecting what matters.”

Kamon kissed her lips.“And we’ll remind you every day.”

Rune added, voice fierce with promise, “No more broken bonds.”

Between them, Klarissa finally let go of the past.The future stretched wide and bright, and for the first time, she welcomed it without fear.

The End
