arch my chest towards his teasing mouth.
I could feel myself getting worked up, so much so that my entire vision went spotty. My magic was sizzling underneath my skin and I could feel the need riding me hard. They could fix this, I knew they could.
“Please,” I gasped out as Rain’s mouth continued to lick, suck and bite and Merrick did the same, his dominant flare ridiculously hot. Was it weird I sorta missed his tail right now?
“I love that word coming from your mouth,” Rain growled as he finally took mercy on me.
Lights exploded behind my gaze as I cried out both of their names, my body soaring over a peak as everything turned into gold and purple lights, my wings having broken from my back. Merrick’s touch on them, unintentionally, had another orgasm riding me hard as Rain continued to lick up my release. I finally collapsed as I closed my eyes.
“Such a good girl,” Merrick rumbled and nipped my nose.
“I am really hoping this wasn’t a dream,” I whispered as Rain worked his way up my body.
“It isn’t and it isn’t another reality, this is very real and you are very much here in my bed with both of us,” he said softly before saying something in French I couldn’t hear but I swear it was something about where you should be. My face was flushed as I curled up between them, not giving a shit about being naked as Merrick’s face pressed into my neck, and Rain held me from behind.
A sense of contentment filled me and I was asleep in seconds.
Chapter 21
Ophelia Rose
Blue and Red Lights Reflecting in Pools of Blood
My hand curled around my coffee mug as I watched familiar squad cars pull up. I wasn’t surprised at all. In fact, I had woken this morning after my fantastic orgasm, I should say orgasm-s, and I figured they would be here. So I had gotten fully ready for the day with a high-waist, pale purple skirt, loafers, and silky white top.
I watched them pull into the driveway and knew this was the way things had to go. Tears threatened as I left my cell phone on the counter, walking towards the door. A very small part of me wanted to wake them up but the other part of me knew I was just putting them in danger. I shook my head, glad that they knew how I felt, even if our emotions were messy, I didn’t think there was any doubt about how I felt.
I suppose I could have left a note, but this sure as hell wasn’t the end, and while they would be pissed at me, it would be worth it. I walked out of the front door, the officers waiting with guns drawn as if I was going to do something dangerous.
I couldn’t hear any of it though, my hands were up and I could only hear the steady rhythm of a song in my head. A song in a language that I didn’t know but felt extremely familiar. I hummed the Celtic tune as I was shoved in the back of the cop car, my eyes looking at the high window where Rain’s bedroom had been.
I met a pair of familiar eyes, anger, and fear flashing through them before they disappeared. It was too late though, my plan was set in action and it was going to have to work because if it didn’t…well, I didn’t want to think about that. This would keep everyone safe. This would keep the gate closed. This would give me some fucking time to get my head in the game.
As we pulled up to my parents’ estate, the sheriff grabbed me by the back of my neck as I growled but she shoved me into the backyard. My stepsisters were there, staring at me like the creepy twins from The Shining. I followed knowing running would only result in magic being used on me or me using magic and possibly hurting them. They were pawns in this. Hell, I think Denise was a fucking pawn in this.
I narrowed my eyes at the start of the maze and I could see how angry it was. My fingers trailed along bushes as the thorns grew and my blood soaked the earth, poking through the white shirt on my arms so that cuts layered my body.
The twins offered me confused looks but I continued following, roses wrapping around me before hissing in response to the offensive creatures
