Bound to Their Faete Page 9

  That was a question that didn’t even need to be answered as far as Corrine was concerned, and she shuddered at the thought of what either monster might have done with that information.

  “I’ll ask one of the ladies to send some supper over to the cabin for you all as well as water for a hot bath,” Ishaya said as he pointed them to the cheerful yellow door that was the entrance to a cozy little stone cottage. “I imagine you must be exhausted after the trials of the last few days.”

  Sweet Goddess, that was an understatement, Corrine thought. She felt as though the two days since they’d crossed over the Veil had been two weeks. She couldn’t believe that the burden of that awful spell was finally gone for good.

  “That would be wonderful,” she replied and then leaned in and gave the large man a hug, but not before, for the first time ever, she saw Ishaya blush—which then made her mates and Grahame chuckle at him—which then had him muttering at them to “sod off” or something of the like. “How can we ever repay you both for being such loyal friends, Ishaya?” she asked as they embraced

  He returned her hug, muttered that no repayment would ever be necessary, and then ushered her back into the arms of Gabe and Braxas towards their home for the night.

  The charming yellow door of the cottage did not disappoint the expectation of what lay inside. It was a simple one room layout, cozy and well maintained, with just the essentials—a bed large enough to accommodate frames such as Ishaya’s, a fireplace on the farthest wall with two benches in front of it, and a small table with four chairs filled the remaining space.

  Braxas got to work making a fire right away, and before they’d even closed the door, two young forest folk women arrived and were all smiles, hauling a huge copper tub between them.

  “Hello, guests,” the more petite of the two, with skin the palest of blues greeted them. “My name is Laiyla, and this is Misha. We’ve brought you your bath.”

  “Hello,” Corrine answered as Gabe and Braxas rushed to take the tub from the ladies, and set it in front of the fire. “Thank you so much for your hospitality. I’m Corrine, and these are my mates, Gabe and Braxas.”

  “If you will direct us to where we can get the water from, we will gather it,” Braxas addressed the women, who were openly examining all of the clothes they were wearing with avid curiosity.

  “Oh, there’s no need to gather it.” Laiyla smiled and approached the tub. “That is why they sent us!”

  Corrine watched in amazement as the young woman closed her eyes and opened her arms, and as she brought them together, water began to fill the copper tub out of nowhere.

  “That’s some trick,” Gabe said in an awed tone. “How are you doing that?”

  “We are elemental forest folk,” the other woman, Misha, said. Her skin was a deep charcoal gray. Corrine watched in fascination as she stuck her hand in the rising water and steam began to form, heating the water for them. “These are our gifts,” she said as she finished up her task. “Laiyla calls the water, and I control the temperature.”

  “You’re both quite skilled.” Corrine was shocked at the ease with which these young women used their magic. Goddess, if Kheelan had had any idea while he still lived how much power these people had, he never would have rested until he’d taken it for himself.

  “We’ve heard that the Light Fae have lost their magic. Is that true?” Misha quietly asked, as if she was afraid of calling the same fate upon herself.

  “It’s true that most of the Light Fae don’t have any workable magic,” Corrine answered, “but there are still a few of us who have retained ours. I am a seer, and our Queen and another of our pack are powerful healers.”

  “What is it like on the other side of the Veil?” Laiyla asked. She had now filled the tub and was examining Corrine’s pleated jean skirt as though it were the most extraordinary silk. “Is it wondrous? I imagine it’s filled with all kinds of machines and beautiful things!”

  Both Gabe and Braxas laughed at her wistful expression. “There are many things that are different on the other side, but different isn’t always better. Do your people not travel across?” Gabe asked.

  “Oh no,” Misha whispered, “It’s forbidden to interfere with other portal folk unless there is an important reason. That’s usually left to our Goddess’s Dorum to take care of.”

  “Well, that does seem wise, considering all the damage that Kheelan and Frederych accomplished right under our noses,” Braxas added.

  Corrine hated to see the look of disappointment on their new friends’ faces. “Well, perhaps things are changing and one day you will be able to let us repay your hospitality on our side of the Veil. Until then, when we next return, we will bring you some gifts. Have you ever had chocolate?”

  “You would bring us this choc-olate, Lady Corrine?” After Corrine nodded, Laiyla jumped up and squealed in delight, hugging her tightly. Afterward, she pulled Misha towards the door. “We shall leave you to bathe now. My mother will bring by your supper shortly. Thank you for your friendship.” The girls both added a wave before departing, shutting the door behind them in a whirlwind.

  Corrine smiled wide, Gabe and Braxas mirroring her.

  “Well, it’s nice to see that teenage girls are the same on both sides of the Veil—all about the clothes and the chocolate,” Gabe teased as he pulled his shirt off over his head. A wicked gleam in his eye told Corrine exactly what he had in mind for after their bath. “Time to get you clean, mate, and then Braxas and I can get you good and dirty.”

  “I love the sound of that plan,” Braxas growled low as he came up behind her and wrapped his strong arms around her waist, nuzzling and kissing softly along her neck.

  She sighed at how it felt to be surrounded by her men, as Gabe moved forward and his fingers found the closure on her skirt. He leaned into the other side of her neck and inhaled deeply, a low rumble echoing deep through his chest. “Mmm, I don’t think I’ll ever get enough of the way you smell, my mate. Now let’s get these clothes off you.”

  Gabe’s strong hands caressed her hips and ass as he let her skirt fall to the floor, pushing her panties to join it as well. At the same time, Braxas’s hands slipped under her shirt, cupping her breasts, causing a moan to escape her lips as her head fell back against his shoulder. His cat must have liked the offering of her neck because his hands tightened, and he lightly bit at the juncture of her shoulder. It had her body responding with a warmth she was unused to. The sex before with them had been amazing, but this time, without the interference of the dark poison, Corrine knew this was how it was supposed to feel to mate for life. The entire universe was right there among the three of them, for in this space in time, nothing and no one else existed.

  “I can’t wait,” she whispered desperately. “I need you both now.”

  “As we need you,” Braxas said, grinding his hard erection against her ass, “but we only get to mate you once, and I would have it be so much more than a rushed occasion.”

  “So, we will love every inch of you,” Gabe added as he tossed her skirt and underwear off to the side, “and then we will make you ours for eternity.”

  Braxas stepped back from her with a sigh, and he peeled her shirt off over her head, and then undid the clasp on her bra.

  “You are perfection, Corrine. Have I told you that before?” Gabe gently pulled away the last piece of clothing from her and ran his fingers lightly along the side of her breasts.

  She couldn’t answer, couldn’t form words at all in this moment. The tenderness and love that she saw in Gabe’s eyes took her breath away. There had been too many times in the past years when she had despaired that she would never get to have this moment with him, and to know that both Gabe and Braxas belonged to her, as she belonged to them, almost seemed like a dream.

  “The water’s perfect, love.” Braxas now sat naked on the edge of the tub, his fingers trailing in the steaming liquid. “In you go. We will bathe our mate.”

  Corrine smiled at him as she stepped
towards the tub. She squealed in surprise as Gabe picked her up and delivered her to Braxas.

  “Check the cabinet for towels and soap, Gabe,” Braxas said as he took her from his friend and slowly lowered her into the bath.

  “Oh Goddess, this feels amazing,” she moaned as the hot water began to soothe away the last twenty-four hours.

  Gabe came back with a small pitcher, a stack of towels, and two small bars of homemade soap. She could smell the sweet scent of wildflowers, and it reminded her of their first tryst by the waterfall.

  Neither Gabe nor Braxas said much as they each took a cloth and a bar of soap and gently began to cover every inch of her. The looks on their faces started off as concentration, but as her body began to react to their touch, she could see the passion rising in each man’s expression.

  Gabe’s strong hands finally made their way to her breasts, as if he’d been saving them for last, and she moaned as he leaned down for a kiss. He took his time, licking and nibbling at her lips. She tangled wet fingers into his hair to keep him where she needed him. Corrine was certain that Gabe knew exactly the moment when Braxas’s talented fingers had finally stopped teasing her inner thighs and found her wet folds because her entire body lit up as he teased her with light circles around her aching clit.

  “I think our mate wants to come,” Braxas chuckled as her moans were heard even though Gabe still took her mouth.

  “Do you want to come, Corrine?” Gabe asked after he pulled his lips a fraction away from hers. “Do you want to come on Braxas’s fingers?”

  “Please,” she whimpered, as both men increased their attentions to her overwrought body. Braxas settled his thumb over her clit and slid two fingers into her waiting pussy, causing her eyes to close in bliss as he worked them in and out of her slowly. “More, Braxas, more.”

  “I’ll give you everything you need, love,” he answered before he added another finger to fill her up, and she felt other fingers circling the sensitive entrance to her ass.

  She had been imagining what it would be like to have both men take her together, but she suspected with these men, the experience would be like no other.

  “Yes,” she moaned, opening herself up to him as he slid one soapy finger into her as his other hand continued to shuttle in and out of her pussy.

  “Goddess, Gabe, she opened right up for me,” Braxas groaned at the other man. “Our mate is so responsive. I can’t wait to get into this tight ass of yours, love. It’s going to feel so good for you, to have us both loving you at once.”

  “I’m so close.” Corrine tightened her grip in Gabe’s hair, causing him to growl once again, but she whimpered in disappointment as Braxas pulled back, leaving her aching on the cusp of orgasm.

  “Okay, I think you’re clean enough, baby.” Gabe reached down and plucked her out of the still hot water and then set her down, her legs shaking.

  Braxas wrapped her up in a soft cloth and patted her dry, not missing an inch of skin. She could tell from the mischievous grin on his face that he was enjoying her torment. “You know, cat, turnabout is fair play.” She cupped his chin and kissed him. “I’d be careful about the teasing because I will remember to do the same to you.”

  “Oh I do hope so, sweetheart,” he answered, his eyes gleaming mischievously, before taking her mouth in a thorough and deep kiss that left her breathless. “Gabe, why don’t you lie on your back on the bed and we will give our woman the pleasure she’s seeking.”

  Corrine’s pulse began to race at the look on Braxas’s face. It was clear Gabe didn’t know what his partner had in mind, but he must have trusted him enough to know that they would all enjoy it immensely. Once Gabe had stretched his muscled frame out on the bed—his long, hard cock almost waving at her to join him—Braxas gave her a light smack on her ass.

  “Up you go, love. I want you to straddle Gabe, but with your back to him.”

  That was an order she would gladly follow. She slowly sauntered up to the bed, licking her lips, imagining feasting on the man who lay there. When she reached him, she leaned down and took a long lick up the length of Gabe’s cock, loving the way he moaned her name. Then snickering, she threw a leg over his torso and scooted down so that her soaking pussy was right next to his aching shaft.

  She felt Gabe’s hands molding her ass, and then she received another sharp slap to one of her cheeks. “You’re such a tease, baby.”

  “You two started it!” She laughed at his muffled curse when she wrapped her hand around his cock and began to slowly stroke him, while rubbing him against her clit as well, seeing if she could finish what they’d started in the bath.

  “Uh-uh, love,” Braxas chided as he crawled up onto the bed in front of her. “Making you come is our job now. You wouldn’t want to earn another spanking, would you?”

  Just the thought of her previous “punishment” at their hands had her pussy aching in anticipation. She bit her lip thinking about how hard she had come.

  “Seems like she’s thinking it over to me,” Gabe said, laughing.

  “We’ll remember that, but for now, how about we just make you come so hard that you see stars?”

  “Yes, please,” she answered breathlessly at the serious expression on Braxas’s face. What else would a girl say to that kind of question besides a huge, “yes, please!”

  “Gabe’s going to fill up that sweet pussy for you, and then I’m going to suck on your clit until you come all over his cock.” Braxas’s gaze never left her eyes as her expression went slack, anticipating how good that was going to feel.

  “You ready, baby?” Gabe asked her, and at her enthusiastic nod, he lifted her up just enough so that she could guide his swollen tip to her entrance. They both groaned low as she sank onto his thickness. “Sweet Goddess, Corrine, you feel so good around me. Tight. Hot. Like pure heaven.”

  “Now lean back against him, love.” Braxas braced his arms on each side of her legs. “Just let us do all the work.

  She completely relaxed into her mates’ capable hands. She loved the feel of Gabe’s hot skin against her back, and when he slowly began to move her up and down on his shaft, she couldn’t believe how intense it felt to have him so tightly pressed to the front of her sheath, stroking exactly where she wanted him most.

  “Oh Goddess, I don’t think I will last long like this,” she moaned.

  “Let it come, Corrine. You’ll come for us until I want you to stop.” Braxas leaned over and sucked her swollen nub into his mouth, instantly causing her to scream out his name as she came in a furious rush.

  Chapter Seventeen

  Gabe tensed every muscle in his body as he rode out the intensity of Corrine’s orgasm. He should have been a little taken aback with Braxas’s plan. After all, the thought of having another man’s mouth so close to his own cock had never done a thing for him, but knowing that Braxas’s actions were for Corrine’s pleasure and now feeling her pussy ripple so strongly around him, he was most definitely a fan. He was also looking forward to the chance to return the favor so Braxas could feel the way their mate’s body applauded the move.

  There was one thing he had not taken into account, however—the way her sweet pussy clenched so tightly around his flesh, and almost had him coming with her, but he had his own plans for the night and was bound and determined to make them come true. Gritting his teeth, he weathered the physical storm of her body coming around him.

  “Wow,” Corrine breathed in awe a few minutes later, and Gabe shared a quick grin with Braxas. “That was … well … without a word to describe it. Or at least my brain is scrambled to the point I simply can’t think of a word to describe how incredible that felt.”

  Braxas leaned in and took their mate’s mouth in a swift kiss. “I fucking love watching you shatter for us, beautiful. You give yourself to us so completely, that it wrecks me every damn time.”

  Gabe reached up and turned her face toward him with a cupped palm against her soft cheek, her flawless blue eyes softening with the emotions he
knew were no doubt mirrored in his own. “You are my mate. I knew it from the moment I met you despite the fact that the bond between us was blocked.” When Corrine’s eyes dropped from his, he lifted her head gently until her gaze met his again. “You do not ever hide your eyes from us. We understand why you did what you did, and although I don’t think you need it, I feel it is something you seek. I forgive you, Corrine.”

  “Me too, beautiful,” Braxas added from beside them, and Gabe felt Corrine shudder above him.

  Corrine’s gaze lowered for a moment then lifted to lock with his. “But I hit you, Gabe. I am so sorry. How could I have—”

  Gabe made a dismissive sound and shook his head. “Corrine, you hit a male who laid his hands on you without consent, then turned feral when you told him in no uncertain terms to fuck off. I would expect any female in my pack to do the same damn thing. Not to mention the fact you weren’t exactly yourself in that moment. This is the line in the sand, love. Forgiveness given on all sides.”

  Gabe watched his mate carefully. He prayed she wouldn’t give into the tears he saw shimmering in her eyes. He had no clue how to handle her if she gave into them, and a quick glance at Braxas told him his partner in this triad felt the same way. Corrine took a deep breath and closed her eyes briefly, and when she opened them, his heart stuttered at the heat that shimmered there.

  “Claim me,” Corrine said in a voice that seemed to roll over him like liquid sin and had his dick revitalizing within her. “I want to know what it is like to be claimed by the two men the Fates have blessed me with.”

  Gabe’s smile was slow and wicked. Once again, Corrine had surprised him, and he had a feeling that was going to be a common occurrence in their relationship.

  “That, I can assure you, Lady Corrine,” Gabe murmured as he sat up and wrapped his arms around her, cupping her breasts in his hands, “will be our very distinct pleasure. Now, I have fantasized about this a time or two thousand, and we are going to need a little position change for what I have in mind.”
