“Yes,” she moaned her answer into the heated darkness of Colin’s mouth. His body shuddered in response, the rigid line of his cock growing impossibly harder beneath her fingers.
“That’s good, minx. Because now you’ve finally admitted who you belong to, we’re going to make sure you never forget.”
Colin broke their kiss, his fingers tangling in her hair as he tugged her head back so she was looking him in the eyes. “You’re ours, princess. Every sweet,
fuckable inch you. If anyone so much as looks sideways at you from now on, we will hurt them. If they touch you, we’ll kill them. And if you ever leave us, we will find you and bring you home.”
There was so much heat in his eyes that her soul was seared and every lingering doubt was reduced to ash. These were her bonded. They would be together for the rest of their lives. That thought resonated throughout her being and left her breathless. “I will never leave you.”
“I think we should take our chosen upstairs and show her how happy we are she’s finally figured out where she belongs,” Nik said.
“And where is that, exactly?” she purred, feeling nearly drunk with arousal.
“You belong between us, Alayna. Forever,” Colin answered, finally releasing her hair from his fingers. He had her in his arms a moment later, carrying her effortlessly in a demonstration of strength that made her pussy clench and her heart hammer against her ribs. It was hard for her to remember why she had fought against all this when every cell in her body was crying out for them to touch her. She needed them as much as she needed the air she breathed.
As they headed upstairs a powerful sense of déjà-vu swept over her. Not so long ago,
Nik had carried her up these same stairs for what was supposed to have been a single night’s passion. She glanced back over Colin’s shoulder to find Nik grinning up at her, and she knew he was thinking the same thing.
“We’ve come full circle, minx. Only this time, there are no secrets between us.”
She nodded, but her heart was heavy in her chest. There was one more secret she needed to tell them. Alayna could only hope that when she told them the truth about her alter ego, their newfound happiness didn’t wither and die before it had a chance to take root.

CHAPTER SIXTEEN
Colin walked into her bedroom and strode right past the bed, heading for the bathroom.
“Uh, guys? The bed’s back that way.”
“Yeah, I know. But the shower’s this way, and I have a sudden urge to get you all hot, slick and soapy, princess.”
“Sounds good to me too.
First we can get you all clean, and then we are going to do very dirty things to you.”
Colin groaned. “We really need to work on your dirty talking,
Griz. If I have to listen to your lame lines for the next seventy or eighty years, I’m going to need therapy.”
“I thought it was cute,” Alayna came to
Nik’s defense and paid for it with a swat to the ass as Colin set her down on the tiled floor of the bathroom.
“See? It wasn’t lame.”
Nik came in last, stripping his shirt over his head as he went.
“She called you cute. Are you going to stand there and take that from our chosen? We’re her bonded. We’re badass. We’re elites. We’re fucking generals! We are
not
cute!”
“You’re also adorable when you get all bent out of shape about being called cute,” she said, smirking at the horrified look on Colin’s face.
“Adorable? I don’t fucking think so. Pick another word, please.”
She started shedding clothing and making other suggestions.
“How about sexy? Hot? All mine?”
“Better,” Colin said, his eyes glazing over with lust as she wriggled out of her pants and kicked them aside.
Nik stepped in behind her, his large hands gripping the bottom of her shirt and lifting it over her head. Her hair got caught up in the fabric, and by the time she was free, Colin had managed to strip off his clothes as well. He reached over to give one pert nipple a tweak before walking over to the gleaming tile and glass area that Alayna had always thought was oversized for one person. It occurred to her now, as she looked at the configuration of the jets, that it was the perfect size for three.
Nik
placed a hand on her hip, drawing her around and into his arms. “What my parents said to you…none of it was true. You’re not a mistake, Alayna. You’re the best decision I’ve ever made.”
“Thank you,” Alayna said as her heart slowly melted under the heat of his gaze. There was lust there, but there was more, too. His smile softened, and for the first time he lost the hard edge that seemed a constant part of his expression.
He ran the calloused pad of his thumb over her lower lip and then leaned down to whisper near her ear. “No, thank you for giving us a chance. I love you, Alayna. I’m going to screw this up sometimes, and I know there are going to be times when we fight as hard as we fuck. Just remember, no matter what, I love you, and I will fight to the death to keep you.”
Alayna’s head was whirling and her heart didn’t feel like it fit in her chest anymore. He loved her? No one loved her. Well, no one but Sam, and he’d never said the words, hadn’t needed to. Years of self-imposed isolation fell away, and she threw herself into Nikolai’s arms, hugging him hard as she kissed him with near frantic need. Without a word he lifted her and she wrapped her legs around his hips, trapping his cock between them as she clung to him so tightly there was
no space between their bodies. She didn’t have the words to tell him how much he’d affected her, didn’t even know where to start.
He loved her. Nikolai still couldn’t believe he’d actually said the words. Said them and meant them. She was the only woman who had ever challenged him. From the first night they’d met, she had never once been afraid of his strength or his temper. Alayna had stood up to his family in a way few had ever dared to dream of. She was his warrior goddess, a gift from the universe that he would never stop being thankful for.
The water poured over them both as he carried her to the center of the shower, to the spot where all the jets converged. Her burnished gold skin looked even darker against the pale ivory tiles, the silken weight of her hair growing heavier as the water streamed through it. Colin reached for her and Nikolai let her go, not wanting to deny his partner the joy of having their chosen’s water-slick body in his arms.
Alayna protested the separation with a soft moan, letting her nails drag across the tops of his shoulders as Colin drew her away. Nikolai watched her twine long legs around Colin’s hips and his desires crystallized into a singular need. Tonight, if she was ready, they would take her together. He fisted his cock in his hand and stroked himself, imagining how it would be to have Alayna caught between them, both of them buried deep in her body. He’d claimed her sweet ass already, the memory of her body gripping him so tight would be one that stayed with him forever.
Every time with her was special, but there was something they still hadn’t done yet. Tonight, they would show her what they had been preparing her for since the night they’d claimed her. He and Colin would take her together, sharing her in the ultimate intimacy. Nikolai wanted to show her how it could be between them. How it
should
be.
He must have groaned out loud, because both Colin and Alayna turned to look at him, and a sly smile touched her lips. “I thought we were supposed to be getting clean first?”
“I’m multitasking.”
Colin snorted with laughter. “Yeah, sure you are. You forgot one thing, genius. No soap.”
“Like you’re doing any better, Ghost. The only thing in a lather in this shower at the moment, is you.”
Alayna threw back her head and laughed before twisting out of Colin’s arms and regaining her feet. Clearly she was going to have to take the initiative here. She grabbed a bottle of cleansing gel from the shelf and poured a liberal amount into her hand, then slowly started lathering her body with it, starting with her breasts.
“I’ll wash you, you wash me?” Nik offered, his hands already stroking up her ribs.
“And I want to wash your hair. Will you let me?” Colin asked.
“Mhmm,” she hummed her assent, already distracted by the pleasure of having Nik play with her breasts. She squirted more of the gel on his chest and then set the bottle aside, enjoying the feel of his hard body under her hands. Colin moved in closer, and then his fingers were in her hair, massaging her scalp in slow circles. It was bliss.
She continued washing
Nik, working her way gradually lower until her hands were just above his jutting cock. His hips jerked forward and she wrapped her fingers around his thick length. He groaned, flicking at the sensitive nubs of her nipples before letting his hands drift lower. Colin finished working the shampoo through her hair and reached out to lift one of the shower heads out of its cradle so that he could rinse the suds away.
“Close your pretty eyes, princess. We don’t want to get soap in them.”
Shutting her eyes was oddly freeing. Deprived of sight, Alayna had to rely more on her bonded. After years of fighting to be in control of every situation, she finally gave herself over to someone else’s care. Hot water streamed over her, washing away the soap and her tension at the same time. Nik’s hands kept up their magic, soaping and stroking ever lower while Colin continued to work on her hair. He poured on a fruity smelling conditioner and worked it through her hair with one hand while the other kept the showerhead moving, changing the direction and intensity of the water as it played over her body. Nik’s erection grew harder as she continued to run her fingers up and down his cock, tracing every line and vein with a delicate touch that had him bucking his hips into her hand.
Wanting more, Alayna reached behind her, searching blindly until her hand brushed hard flesh. Colin’s cock leaped at her touch and she heard his breath catch as she began working both their dicks with firm strokes, sweeping her thumb across the crown every few seconds.
Hands touched her hips and she found herself being gently spun in place, making her lose her grip on both their cocks.
“What are you two up to?”
“Keep your eyes closed. You’re going to like this,” Nikolai murmured. He was behind her now, his hands stroking down her back until they were resting on her ass. When he picked her up, she laughed and kicked her legs playfully.
“How is this helping me to get clean?”
“Wait and see. Spread your legs for me, princess. I want to see that pretty little pussy.” A hand touched her knee, coaxing her legs wider. “Yeah, that’s better. You should see how swollen and pink she is, Griz. So fucking sexy. I bet if I slid a finger inside you right now, Alayna, you’d be slick and wet for us already.”
Colin ran his fingertips lightly across her clit and she gasped as a sharp pang of raw need tore through her. He spread her labia wider and Nikolai rumbled with laughter.
“You better hang onto something, minx. I think you’re about to come hard.” That was all the warning she got before a pulsing jet of warm water struck her clit. Alayna’s eyes flew open and she saw Colin standing between her spread legs with a smug smile tugging at his lips. He moved the showerhead even closer, increasing the pressure and Alayna keened wildly as the water set off a firestorm of sensation. Her clit throbbed and her inner muscles flexed around her empty channel. She grabbed Colin’s shoulder’s, her nails curving into his flesh as she braced herself against the storm of pleasure he had unleashed.
“Fuck, I’m going to come just watching this.” Nikolai shifted her slightly and she felt the tip of his cock press between her nether cheeks. He rocked his hips slowly, teasing them both with shallow thrusts that only added to the wild desire racing through her. Colin was relentless, moving the jet of water back and forth across her throbbing clitoris. Her moans came faster and louder as an orgasm started to build, and soon she could barely keep breath in her lungs.
Alayna’s hips arched and twisted, driving Nik’s cock deeper until she could feel the broad crown rubbing against her tight back hole. His groans of encouragement were making it even harder to think, and when Colin finally drove two fingers deep into her cunt she came apart with a wail that bounced of the tiled walls.
She came so hard that for a moment, the world faded to gray. She closed her eyes and let herself float in a warm sea of pleasure. She was so shattered that she barely registered the water being turned off. It wasn’t until the cooler air of the bedroom hit her overheated skin that she roused, her eyes fluttering open.
“New house rule. We take communal showers at least once a week from now on,” she said, surprised at the low, throaty tone of her voice.
“Agreed,” Colin said and she looked around to find him. He was already stretched out on the bed, his cock jutting into the air and his eyes glowing with barely contained lust. His skin was flush with the heat of their shower, and his sandy hair was standing up in damp spikes.
Nik deposited her on the bed at Colin’s side with a low chuckle. “If we’re making house rules, I have one, too. From now on everyone under six feet tall goes naked unless we have company.”
“Dream the hell on. The only way you’re getting that one is if
Nik agrees to buy me an entire fleet of housekeeper droids. After all, his family
does
make them. If I’m not wearing clothes, there’s no way I’m doing the laundry.”
“You know, I’m almost tempted to say yes just for the joy of coming home every day to find your sweet ass naked. But there’s no way I would ever leave you alone if you didn’t put some clothes on. We’d both end up being charged for dereliction of duty. Nope. It can’t be done,” Colin said.
“He’s right. If you’re home and naked, I’d never leave the house,” Nik agreed. He fetched something out of the nightstand drawer and then settled on the bed beside her, his dark eyes watching her intently as he reached out to stroke her hip. These were her men, both of them looking as if they’d been sculpted from living rock, all strength and sinew and power. A shadow of a beard already touched Nik’s jaw, and she knew that by morning her skin would bear marks where his stubble rasped against it. Not that she cared. For the first time, she wanted their marks on her. Tattoos, whisker burn, bite marks, all of it.
“If we’re finished talking, I’d really like to make love to you.” Colin tapped a finger to his chest. “Come up her, princess, and let me love you.”
“Let
us
love you,” Nikolai said, his voice hushed.
She nodded and moved over Colin, straddling his body and arranging
herself so that his cock was pressed to her pussy. Without a word, she leaned down and kissed him, ignoring the cool weight of her still wet hair as it tumbled over her shoulders.
Within seconds he had taken over their kiss, his fingers tangling in her hair to hold her head close as his tongue entered her mouth. Lips touched, teeth nipped and their tongues danced in an erotic give and take that had a fresh coat of cream flooding her pussy and drenching his cock where it lay trapped between them.
Nik moved, making the mattress dip as he claimed a spot out of sight behind her. He nipped one nether cheek, hard enough to sting, but before it could morph into true pain he stopped and feathered several soft kisses to the tender spot.
“Are you ready to take us both?”
Nik asked, and Alayna’s blood sang in her ears as she lifted her head to answer.
