How tame I’d become by new love.

Ray took one deep breath then knocked on her door.

“Come in!” she called.

We looked at each other and I gave him a reassuring nod. We stepped through her door, materializing on the other side where Christy waited for us.

She was beautiful as always. Her hair tumbled over her shoulders and she wore a silky black dress that grazed the tops of her knees. She wrenched her hands together nervously but she still offered us a warm smile.

Just seeing her made me feel so alive.

“Hi,” she whispered.

“Hi,” I said.

“Christy, I’m sorry for my reaction yesterday,” Ray said immediately. He took a small step forward, and I felt a small pang in my heart for my mate. He already cared for her so much, it hurt him that he might cause her distress. “I should not have asked that we withhold information about our curse.”

“I forgive you. And I want you.”

My breath whooshed out hearing her say it.

“I want both of you. I’ve made up my mind.” She smiled at both of us. “But only if you also want?—”

I appeared right behind her and she jumped, then started giggling. “Of courseIwant.”

We looked up at Ray, who had somehow paled despite being a slightly translucent phantom. But then he met us in two strides, his grin contagious.

“Of course I want, too,” he said. He reached up, gently cradling her face. “Will you be ours, angel?”

“Yes.” She let out a soft sniffle. “Yes, I will. Please mate me. Please make the bond.”

Christy pushed the straps of her dress to either side. I inhaled her scent, my cocks already hardening as I pushed her closer to Ray. Our bodies kept her between us, right where she belonged.

I swept her hair back as she kissed Ray, enjoying her soft whimper as my mouth met the curve of her neck. She was so perfect for us. Perfect in every single way.

I tugged her hair, craning her head so that I could kiss her lips too. She leaned against me, her moans driving me wild.

Together,I told Ray.

Together,he agreed.

I took her right shoulder and he took her left. We bit her together, our fangs piercing her and lighting the fated mates bond between us. Her cry echoed through the room and I grabbed Ray, adjusting him so she could bite him back.

And she did. Our little human was so fierce. He gasped and I felt the rush of pleasure through our bond.

Then she turned to face me.

I kissed her once, but she was eager. So eager for it.

I offered her all of me. Every piece of my soul, all the darkness that haunted me, all my flaws, and all my love.

The moment she bit me, I felt our connection fully come to life, and it was everything I’d dreamed of and more.

I could feel both of them.

Both of my mates.

And all of their love. Their wants. Their needs.
