mobilize the team, or it could take three days. There was no way of knowing. Between the urgency of the unknown and the need driven by alcohol, there was no way this moment would be slow and romantic. It was a stolen encounter, a bit of fun where someone could walk up on them, and none of them would care.
Mat growled and groaned with every thrust. Zayden kept her nearly silent with his mouth, keeping it busy with his tongue, muffling every moan. Every thrust took her closer to the edge. The orgasm shattered her as her arms and knees shook. Mat held her as he thrust several more times, finally burying himself, biting her shoulder as he finished inside her.
“Your turn,” she whispered breathlessly as Mat pulled out slowly.
“Hold her,” Zayden ordered.
Mave wasn’t too surprised when Mat kept his arms around her, and they turned, his back against the tree. Zayden reached down and hooked her thighs in his arms, his cock out. She wrapped her thighs around his hips at his direction, and he was hilt-deep in a single thrust. Leaning on Mat, she let Zayden take her hard.
“Keep those eyes open,” Mat ordered. “He loves your eyes.”
She gasped as Zayden fucked her quickly. Her body was sensitive, too sensitive as each stroke found places of feeling she had never felt before. With a sex life as active as hers, that was a strange experience.
“I love you,” Mat whispered in her ear. “It’s amazing to watch you taken by him.”
She gasped, and Mat shifted to bring one hand up, covering her mouth, just in time to stop her from screaming into the night.
Zayden snarled as he moved his hips, taking her body like a conqueror. She normally controlled sex with this husband more than the others. Tonight was the first time he had ever made an effort to take control.
He fucked her so hard, Mat lost his balance, and Zayden had to stop as her first husband went to the ground. Zayden followed them down, fucking her on top of Mat while Mat held her, helpless to the both of them.
Finally, Zayden roared as Mave crested a second time. She clung to him as he buried himself and went with her, their bodies pulsing.
“That’s a hell of a goodbye,” Mat said, panting underneath them. “I hope the hello when we get back lives up to it.”
“Come back, and it will. Don’t worry about that,” she said, kissing Zayden before he had a chance to pull away. Once he was up and fixing himself, she sat up, got off Mat, and kissed him as well. “Come back, and it’ll be better.”

Mave
Two days later, Mat and Zayden left at dawn. She kissed them, promising to keep up her training, and they promised to come home alive. She didn’t care if their mission succeeded or not, only that they came home to her.
It took her most of the morning to get to doing what she was supposed to be doing. She had a nemari to train and guide, however she was supposed to do that. She knew he was waiting for her outside in the clearing in front of their homes, too afraid to knock on the door. She knew she needed to move faster, but she couldn’t bring herself to rush. By the time she walked out, Emerian looked to be taking a nap, propped up against a tree.
“Hope you’re comfortable,” she teased, smiling down at him as she drew close.
He jumped up in a flurry of limbs that flailed around as he tried to make himself presentable. Mave tried not to laugh.
“I don’t know how…”
“It’s fine,” she said, her smile not fading. “I kept you waiting a bit too long than was right.”
“It’s fine, Champion,” he replied, brushing dirt and pieces of grass off his breeches. When he looked up, his blood-red ruby eyes were worried. “Mat and Zayden left today. No one would fault you for taking the day to yourself.”
“That’s not how we do things in this village. The best thing I can do for them is to stay sharp for when it’s my turn to go out and continue fighting…when our king lets me.” She was still agitated about being stuck for the entire summer. She understood and had agreed, but she wanted to go out there and keep fighting. It was all she knew. It was her most comfortable place and made her feel more useful than helping in the village ever could.
