She jerked, mouth falling open on a gasping moan as her entire body stiffened with her orgasm. The pulsing pull against my shaft sent me flying over the edge, and my hips stuttered with a few final thrusts before I pushed deep and came buried inside of her.

Cyn tensed and pulled out of me quickly, shifting back to his alternate form for Rae.

Her lips wrapped around Cyn’s wrist as she drank from him; the wet droplets of her spilled blood hit my back, letting me know he’d bitten into her.

Knowing they were completing their tether while I was still inside her made my cock twitch with another weak attempt at life.

I moaned, oversensitive inside the heat of her body.

His forehead met my back as she dropped her arm. He shifted from his alternate form again, gripping my hips with the arm she’d drunk from as he pushed back inside me. He gave a few quick thrusts that made me cry out before spilling deep inside of me.

After several minutes of staying connected, panting and recovering from our release, Cyn pulled out of me.

I shivered at the familiar sensation of his cum running out of me.

He collapsed next to us, and when I pulled out of Rae, he held his arm out for me to slump against his side. He offered his other arm to Rae, inviting her to move closer and snuggle against him.

We lay there in silence, no one daring to say a word as we waited.

Then it happened.

The overwhelming love that hit me in the chest stole my breath, bringing tears to my eyes again. Rae’s love. And at the edge of the strong emotion, I felt the electric pull of Cyn’s love creating an undercurrent that supported it.

Cyn cursed. “You really do.”

I lifted my head to look up at him. “Do what?”

“Her.” He gazed down at Rae, who was already looking up at him. “You were serious about loving me.”

Her face screwed up. “Don’t act so surprised.”

“Wait. You thought she wasn’t serious?”

“I… I guess not, no. I believed her.” He stroked his hand over her arm. “I just didn’t know how strongly she felt.”

“Don’t question my feelings again,” she mumbled, burying her face against him. “Though I guess I can say I didn’t realize the same.” She sniffed.

He frowned. “Are you crying?”

“Shut up.”

“You’re such a brat,” he said with a smirk.

With them both here and a wide-open tether between Rae and both of us, I felt warm and complete. Having a weaker connection with Cyn, allowing me to feel the depth of his feelings, if only in faint whispers at the edge of my consciousness, made me happier than I could explain.

If Rae were to complete her bond with Ezra, that small connection would grow until we could almost sense each other’s feelings in the same way we could feel Rae’s now.

But only time would tell if that would ever happen.

Having my favorite two people in the world next to me, knowing it was okay to love them and that they loved me, meant everything to me. I couldn’t ask Fate for more than that.

Pushing the covers down, I blinked up at the moonlit ceiling.
