made him speechless.” I knew I radiated pride, and I wasn’t trying even the slightest to hide it.
Theo whistled. “Now that’s quite impressive. I don’t think he’s ever been speechless.”
“I don’t know, she’s quite good at making me speechless.” I turned to see Ryder munching on a cookie as he leaned against the doorframe. Killian growled his response.
“And even better news, he’s going after Rini.” I was nearly crowing with joy. “I gave him all kinds of ideas for groveling to her.” I paused, considering for a moment. “Though, with it being Ciarán, I wouldn’t be surprised if he ended up going a bit over the top.”
“Well, look at you go,” Joshua murmured, tugging me in for his own hug. “Little matchmaker.”
“More like taking a moment to play the sister.” I shrugged, heading into our living room. It had been amazing to have the cabin. While not as large as the house we had left behind, in comparison to the tiny rooms we had been living in for quite some time, it was a veritable palace. Two large rooms upstairs allowed for us to rotate nights together, and the family room and kitchen created a real feeling of hominess. “I’m surprised you’re all here,” I admitted, flopping down onto the couch. “Normally, everyone is off running around doing their own tasks.”
“Not tonight,” Hiro replied, coming over to kneel in front of me. “It’s been too long since we’ve had an evening together. Our time as a family.”
“Really?” My voice cracked, my eyes darting to each of my mates as they surrounded the couch. Smiles danced across their faces, and their eyes were alight with pleasure as they took in my shocked expression.
“We talked to Ciarán, Angela, Valleria, and Gaspard.” Joshua counted down the names on his fingers. “We’re all covered for this evening. It’s just us and you. We can do anything you want.”
“Another Twister night?” Ryder suggested with a chuckle.
“We can just hang out and make dinner,” Damien offered, his hand reaching out to stroke across my hair and tuck the strands behind my ear.
“We never did get all the way through our Marvel marathon,” Killian commented, before settling down beside me.
“Or we can all dance again,” Joshua teased, making Killian groan and rest his head against mine as I giggled.
I considered my mates for a moment, debating their offers. “I think all of those sound like fun,” I told them.
Damien laughed. “Then it’s going to be a long night. What sounds good for dinner?”
I cupped his chin in my hand before leaning forward to kiss him deeply. “You.” His eyes were hot when I pulled back. I took a deep breath and spun to look at each of my mates in turn. “All of you.”
Hiro smiled, slow and wicked, as he searched my eyes. “Are you asking what I think you are, sweet girl?”
I knew a blush was staining my cheeks as I nodded. “I wasn’t lying when I said you were all mine. I want everything you have. A mating—a real mating. I don’t want to take away from Rini’s big day, so I know we have to wait a few weeks before having our own ceremony. But I want to try to have all of you. At once.” The confession was a whisper, but my mates reacted in an instant, their bodies crowding around me as they stroked my hair, legs, and any place they could reach.
“You’re sure, sweetheart?” Joshua inquired softly, his lips skating around my ear and making me shiver. “You’ve never taken us this way before. It’s a big step.”
“Joshua is right,” Hiro added. “It’s a pretty picture, Nix, but it’s not something you owe us. We love our one-on-one time with you or taking turns like we have in the past. I know we played the fantasy out, but I want to make sure this is your decision.”
I blushed deeper, but I knew they wouldn’t let me get away with just nodding my head. “I know,” I whispered. “It… it isn’t the first time I’ve thought about it,” I disclosed. “I’ve been thinking about it for a while.” Groans sounded all around me, enough to make my body tremble as they vibrated through me. “I mean, what girl with six seriously sexy men bent on giving her overwhelming pleasure wouldn’t imagine what it would be like to take them all at once?”
“We’ll take it at your speed,” Damien assured me softly. “You say stop, it stops.”
