Echo patted him on the chest and wiggled until Syx got the idea and set him on his feet. “I’m sorry,” Echo whispered. “I didn’t think. I get starry-eyed sometimes and think nothing can ever hurt you. Let me talk to my friends for a minute, and I’ll make it up to you.”
Syx frowned at him. “I’m tired. That’s no reason why I can’t hold you, though. I’m not weak.”
Oh, look at that cute little pout.
“I never said you were weak. I said it was unfair for me to take advantage of you and put more strain on you when I know you’re hurting as much if not more than I am.”
“I’m fine.”
With an indulgent smile, Echo decided to let it go and walked across the room. “You guys look good,” he told the shifters. It had been weeks since he’d seen them, and he missed his friends.
“We feel good,” Jet answered as he looked up at Lorcan. “Isn’t he gorgeous?”
Echo bit the inside of his cheek to keep from laughing when Lorcan rolled his eyes and huffed. The cute blush that worked up his neck gave away how pleased he was at the compliment, though.
“Thank you.” Echo held his hand out to the big shifter. “You’re welcome to stay the night or as long as you’d like.”
Lorcan took his hand and squeezed gently before releasing it. “It wasn’t any problem. I appreciate the offer, but I think I better get these guys home.”
Since Pax was currently grinding against Lorcan’s hip like a pole dancer, Echo figured the man had a point. Chuckling under his breath, he gave Jet a hug, shook Lorcan’s hand again, and rolled his eyes when Pax completely ignored him. “Go on before he wears a hole in the leg of your jeans.”
Lorcan winked and swooped Pax up and over his shoulder. He slapped his mate’s ass hard, then reached back to grab Jet’s hand. “Later.”
Strong arms wound around his waist, and Echo looked over his shoulder to find Onyx grinning down at him. “Go shower. I’ll bring food to your room.”
Though his voice was soft, it held a hint of command that made Echo shiver. “Yes, sir,” he answered automatically. “Will you stay?”
“Try to keep me away.” Onyx kissed the side of Echo’s neck. “Only if you promise to behave, though.”
“Promise. I’m too tired to get it up anyway.”
Onyx’s hand wandered down Echo’s chest to cup his flaccid cock. “Good to know.”
Echo’s stupid dick obviously had different ideas about what his body could and couldn’t handle at the moment. It perked right up, swelling quickly in Onyx’s hold.
“Mmm, down boy.” Onyx pressed the heel of his hand against Echo’s erection and rubbed. The action did zero to “down” anything. He nipped Echo’s earlobe and turned him around to press their mouths together. “Go shower. I’ll bring food. Do you need anything else?” Onyx’s thumb slipped into Echo’s mouth and skimmed across his retracted canines. “How are you feeling?”
Fucking horny!
He heard Syx snort from across the room and turned to give his mate the evil eye. Syx seemed suddenly interested in conversation with Eyce. “I’m thirsty, but it can wait until morning. Food will help.”
What he didn’t add was that he didn’t want to take anything from his men that they couldn’t afford to give him. He fidgeted a little under Onyx’s scrutiny, but refused to back down. Finally, the warrior sighed and kissed Echo’s temple. “I’ll be up in a minute.”
Echo looked down at the sizeable lump in his ripped jeans. “Uh, give me ten.”
Chapter Five
Eyce cuddled Echo close when the man began to whimper in his sleep. Looking up, he saw Onyx rise up on his elbow and look down at their mate in concern. “Is he okay?”
“I think he’s fine. Come here.”
Onyx molded himself to Echo’s back, leaning over him and meeting Eyce halfway until their lips pressed together. “How are you feeling?” Eyce asked, reaching up to cup his lover’s cheek.
Smiling, Onyx rubbed his cheek over Eyce’s palm. “Much better. Hex healed Echo, right?”
Eyce nodded. “After he fell asleep, of course. You know how stubborn the little shit is.”
“I heard that.”
Onyx snorted, and Eyce groaned as he looked down at Echo. “Well, you are, and you know it. It’s a good thing you’re so cute.”
“I’m something else right now,” Echo mumbled sleepily.
Smoothing his palm over Echo’s hip, Eyce bent in to nuzzle against the side of the smaller man’s neck. “Mmm, and what would that be?”
“Thirsty,” Echo rasped.
“Oh.” Enlightenment dawned, and Eyce had Echo in his arms and straddling his lap in a heartbeat. He tilted his head to the side, baring his neck, and wound his fingers in Echo’s golden hair. “Please,” he practically begged. There was nothing more erotic or that got his motor running faster than when Echo drank from him.
Echo giggled and licked a slow path up the column of Eyce’s throat, right over his jumping vein. “How about Onyx gets you ready while I play? I can hold out for a little longer, and you know how much you love for me to bite you when you come.”
Eyce shivered and a deep moan vibrated his chest. “Yes.” Maybe he was a kinky slut, but who gave a fuck? His men were just as needy and wanton as he was when it came to the smallest member of their group. Besides, Echo had nailed it on the head. There was nothing Eyce loved more than when his men bit him during sex. And there had been a whole lot of that going on since they’d all claimed each other.
Who needed Elysium? Eyce moved his other hand down to squeeze Echo’s pert ass. He had paradise in the palm of his hand. Coming up from his lusty fog, Eyce gave Onyx a heated look and jerked his head toward the nightstand. “Hurry.”
“Oh, yeah.” Onyx fell off the bed and onto his ass in his haste to get to the needed supplies.
Eyce nipped at Echo’s collarbone when the little imp began to chuckle. “We’ll see who’s laughing when I have my cock buried in your ass.”
“Gods,” Echo moaned. “You’re as bad as Syx.”
He highly doubted that. Syx had made him come with only words and a few kisses on more than one occasion. The man could make a porn star blush, and Eyce couldn’t get enough. Hell, he couldn’t get enough of any of his mates. They all brought something special to the table, and when combined, the sex was explosive.
Onyx appeared beside Eyce, grabbed his legs, and swung him around so that his ass hung off the edge of the mattress. Echo fell against his chest, laughing like a loon as he pushed his long hair behind his ear. “Hey, you. Come here often?”
Eyce rolled his eyes. “I hope to be coming soon and often. Now get down here and kiss me.”
“Mmm, love it when you’re bossy.” A loud smack sounded, and Echo yelped, jerking around to look over his shoulder. A wicked smile spread over his lips. “You know you’re my one and only, Sir. Don’t be jealous.”
Onyx returned the grin. “Not jealous. You had this sweet little ass turned up and wiggling it at me. What did you expect?”
“For you to lick it,” Echo purred seductively before turning again and pressing his lips to Eyce’s. “Oh, I needed this.”
“Gods, yes.” Eyce fisted both hands in Echo’s hair, pulling him closer and devouring him. A slick finger pressed between his cheeks, and Onyx rubbed at his quivering opening before pushing inside. “Don’t go easy,” he demanded around Echo’s lips. Echo looked confused before Eyce attacked his mouth again.
Eyce knew Onyx understood, though, when three fingers were immediately inserted into his hungry hole. The digits pumped hard and fast, slipping into his channel then pulling out to leave Eyce feeling empty. More, he definitely needed more.
“Me,” Echo whined. Damn, he was too cute.
Unlatching one hand from Echo’s hair, Eyce held his hand out, palm up. He heard the snick of the bottle cap, and then cool liquid squirted into his palm. Slipping his hand between him and Echo, he palmed his straining cock, giving it a few good tugs before releasing it and reaching around to prepare his lover.
“Hard and fast,” Echo demanded before latching on to Eyce’s lips again.
Always one to please, Eyce pushed two slick fingers into Echo’s tight entrance. Echo’s hips jerked, and he rocked back, impaling himself farther on the digits as he moaned into Eyce’s mouth.
When Eyce felt Onyx’s finger slip into Echo’s hole beside his own, he nearly lost his mind. He wished he could see it, but his brain had no problem conjuring up the delectably erotic image.
“Now,” Echo pleaded. “Please, I need you.”
Onyx’s fingers disappeared from Eyce’s passage, and he helped lift Echo while Eyce pointed his dick upward and held it immobile. Gritting his teeth together, he closed his eyes and prayed for stamina when Echo began lowering himself, his heated tunnel wrapping around every inch of Eyce’s cock like a velvety glove.
“Ready?” Onyx asked once Echo’s ass rested firmly against Eyce’s thighs.
A grunt was the only compliance Eyce could give as he struggled to hold on to some semblance of control. When he felt the tip of Onyx’s prick kiss his tight ring, Eyce breathed deeply, willing his body to relax and accept the monster cock working its way into his ass.
“Damn, you’re hung like a fucking horse.”
A large hand landed on his outer thigh. “I’m not as big as you, and it’s not the first time you’ve had my cock up your ass. Now stop complaining, or I won’t fuck you.” That shut Eyce up in a hurry.
He hitched his legs higher around Onyx’s waist, locking his ankles behind the warrior’s back and holding on for dear life as his mates began to move. Echo planted his feet on either side of Eyce and began riding him hard and fast, rising and lowering, moving his hips at lightning speed.
Onyx’s slow glide in and out of his spasming hole was such a delicious contrast, Eyce felt his head start to spin. Then they changed. Onyx slammed into Eyce’s hole, burying his cock to the root then pulling out until only the crown remained. Over and over, he plunged into Eyce’s body in fast, hard strokes.
Echo slowed his movements, settling his firm ass against Eyce’s groin and doing a slow, sensual grind. His hands roamed over his slim chest and pinched at his nipples. He licked his lips, his eyes never leaving Eyce’s as he continued to torment him. “Touch me.”
Though he didn’t think he’d get his hand to move if he wanted to, Eyce bobbed his head dazedly. With a crooked smirk, Echo took one of Eyce’s hands and wrapped it around his leaking cock. The feel of the hot flesh in his palm had Eyce growling like a wild animal. He jacked his lover from base to tip with the same rhythm Onyx used to pound into his ass.
His skin burned, his balls ached, and his inner walls clamped around Onyx’s rigid shaft, heralding his impending climax. He stroked Echo faster, harder, twisting his wrist and using every trick in the book to bring his lover to completion.
The look of desperation must have shown on his face because Onyx slowed his pace and leaned over to whisper in Echo’s ear. “Come, baby.”
Just like that, Echo exploded like a fucking geyser. He screamed out his release, cum erupting from his slit to coat Eyce’s hand, chest, and abs. The look on his face was pure bliss, and Eyce wanted to follow him over the edge. He still had one mate to take care of, though.
“Come, Eyce,” Onyx demanded. “I’m close. Don’t worry about me. Just let go.”
How selfish of a lover would that make him if he did as he was told? Then all thoughts flew out the window when Echo leaned over him and sank his fangs into Eyce’s neck with ease. The instant pleasure rocked him like nothing he’d ever felt. His dick pulsed inside Echo’s tight ass, swelling further if possible.
Onyx pounded into him, roaring and snarling, his body shuddering as Eyce felt the wet heat of Onyx’s climax deep within his passage. Satisfied that his lovers were well cared for, Eyce finally let himself go, tumbling over the edge and into oblivion.
It seemed his vein had a direct connection his cock. Even after he felt he’d emptied his balls of everything he had to give, each pull on his neck from Echo sent a fresh wave of semen erupting from his slit until it began to leak back out around his still-hard dick.
“I’m going to die,” he moaned. Not that he minded, but he’d like a repeat performance, and preferably soon.
Echo’s muffled chuckle vibrated against his throat. He extracted his canines and licked lazily at the marks. “Mmm, you taste so good, I forget myself sometimes. Did I take too much?”
Eyce shook his head. “No, baby. I’m perfect.” He winced a little when Onyx pulled out of his sensitive hole. Then the demon dropped down beside him and began peppering his face with kisses. “Love you,” he whispered against Onyx’s lips.
“Yes, love you.” Onyx seemed a little disoriented, and Eyce couldn’t help but grin at the goofy look on the warrior’s face.
“Good one?”
“It’s always good with you guys.” Onyx pushed up, wrapped his arms around the back of Echo’s neck, and flicked his tongue over the man’s lips.
Eyce moaned, his cock still swollen and throbbing as he watched his mates duel in a battle of lips, tongues, and teeth. “Give me some of that.”
Breaking the kiss, Echo smiled impishly, leaned over, and bit right into the skin over Eyce’s heart. At the same time, Onyx tangled his fingers in Eyce’s hair and jerked his head to the side, sinking his teeth into Eyce’s neck just over Echo’s bite.
