Into the Ashes [The Arcadians 2] (20 page)

crystals around the room, casting the

room with blue light. Gossamer

drapes of silver material hung from

the ceiling over the gigantic bed,

making it look like it was surrounded

by millions of stars.

“Oh wow…”

Savitar walked around them so he

was facing her. “Do you like it,

Raven?”

“I don’t like it…I absolutely love

it! Whose room is this?”

“It belongs to you.”

The smile froze on her face. “I…

You don’t want me to sleep with you

anymore?”

Shock had Savitar’s jaw dropping.

“Of course I do!” Savitar exclaimed.

Kadan was over to the bed in a few

long strides. He set her down on the

bed then lowered to his knee to take

one of her hands in his. Savitar took

the other. “This room is our gift to

you, sweetling,” Kadan said. “As our

mate, we wanted to give you a haven

that would belong to you alone. We

would love to share this bed with you

every night, but we also understand

that there will be times over the long

years when you will want a few

moments of privacy.”

“Thank

you,

Kadan,”

Raven

whispered. She turned to meet

Savitar’s worried eyes and stroked a

hand over his cheek. “Thank you, I

love it.”

Savitar pushed her thighs apart so

his large body fit between them. “It is

customary for a female to choose

which of her mates will sleep with

her in her chamber.” He exchanged a

quick glance with Kadan before

continuing. “We would hope that you

would allow both of us to stay with

you tonight.”

Raven blinked. “Of course, why

wouldn’t you…oh. But what about

Tristan? I know I haven’t officially

made up with him yet, but I don’t

want to hurt his feelings by leaving

him out.”

Kadan smiled. “Tristan will be

back much later. It is difficult, I

know. Some mated females will

choose only one mate to sleep with

each night, but most will have two

stay with her. The males work on a

rotation so that it is fair for

everyone.”

“That works for me.” Raven smiled

at them. “Although, don’t get mad if I

move around in my sleep and disturb

you.”

Both males laughed. “You slept

perfectly in my arms last night, my

love,” Savitar said on a rumbling

purr.

Sweet Jesus, what was it about that

purring sound that got her instantly

wet and ready for them? “That’s

because you sexed me out last night.”

Savitar threw his head and laughed.

She could feel the joy coming from

both of them through their bond.

Feeling bold, she leaned back with

her forearms on the bed and held

back a smile as she noticed that both

of them focused on the sight of her

breasts pushing up again the tight

leather vest she wore. She trailed a

finger over the soft, silver blanket on

the bed. “So, what do you say we try

out my new bed?”

Savitar made a move to lunge

forward over her, but was held back

as Kadan grabbed his arm. Savitar

growled at him, but Kadan simply

shook his head. “She is still sore

from earlier.”

“Then we shall fix that.”

Raven yelped as Savitar picked her

up. She automatically wrapped her

legs around his waist as he carried

her through a doorway into a

beautiful bathing room. All of the

bathing chambers reminded her of

Roman baths, but this one was

spectacular. It was decorated with

jewel-colored gems that had been

mixed in with the bronze-colored

stones so when the light hit the gems

a kaleidoscope of rainbow colors

filled the room.

Savitar felt ashamed that he hadn’t

thought of her comfort before he had

tried to pounce on her. It had been

difficult for him to wait to see her

again while she had been out with

Kadan during the day. Sure, it had

given him time to prepare her

chamber with Tristan’s help, but he’d

become agitated as soon as he was

done with the task.

In the short time he had known her,

Raven had become the core of his

life. She was his joy, and every

second away from her had been

agony. Not wanting to smother her

with his attentions, Savitar had tried

to remain civil during their meal, but

what he really wanted to do was

throw her down on the table so he

could feast on her. His need for her

bordered on obsession and it worried

him that he would end up scaring her.

“Savy?”

Her gentle question snapped his

attention back. “Let us take care of

you, mate.”

She studied him with those

beautiful green eyes of her. “Only if I

can take care of you, too.”

Savitar felt his heart melt. The love

he felt for this tiny woman was

absolute, and the need to show her

how he felt had him setting her feet

back down on the ground so both he

and Kadan could undress her. When

her glorious body was bare to them,

he pushed her hair back to stare

down at her beautiful face.

She reached up to grab hold of his

wrist, holding his hand in place. “I

like that you missed me today. You

can’t need me too much. I…I need

you to need me,” Raven whispered.

“I do. I do need you, mate.”

“We all do, Raven,” Kadan said

softly.

Raven smiled at them then turned

and jumped straight into the water of

the large bathing pool in the center of

the

room.

The

gel-like

water

cushioned her fall and she surfaced

with a grin. Savitar and Kadan stood

at the edge of the pool, watching her

with faint smiles of amusement on

their faces. She had a feeling they

didn’t get the chance to play much,

and if acting like an idiot helped them

to smile then she was fine with that.

Lifting a hand, she crooked a finger

at her two men. “Come join me.”

Kadan and Savitar quickly divested

themselves of their own clothing and

joined her in the pool in a much more

sedate manner. Savitar used his large

hands to massage her hair, letting the

natural cleansing properties of the

water do their work. Kadan’s hands

got busy rubbing every inch of her

skin, stroking softly, igniting a

different ache deep inside her that the

water would not cure.

Savitar drew her small body close

to him and buried his face into her

neck, breathing in the scent of her

skin. He pushed her hair to the side

so he could rub his lips across his

mating mark on her neck. He stroked

his tongue over her mark, licking

gently at the tiny holes his fangs had

made when he’d made her his. Each

stroke felt like a caress over his own

cock and he growled as he swelled to

bursting. “Do you have any idea how

much we need you, Raven? Our lives

were empty without you.”

“Hey.” Raven pushed away and

turned so she was facing him. “I’m

here with you now. Please don’t

sound so sad.”

His glowing eyes were dim with

somber intent. “Would you leave us

if you could?”

Raven thought about his question

and answered truthfully. “No. I don’t

think I could.” She could hear both

men let out a relieved sigh as she

reached down and grabbed hold of

Savitar’s cock with her small hand,

loving the way the thick column

jerked at her touch as if seeking

more. “Let me take care of you,” she

whispered as she stroked him.

She could feel the power of his

need and knew he was already close

to coming. Keeping eye contact with

Savitar, she felt Kadan’s large body

press against her from behind. His

hard cock pressed against her back

and she pushed back to rub it against

her skin as she continued to stroke

her hand over Savitar. A low moan

tore from her throat as one of

Kadan’s large hands moved over her

stomach, down until he pressed two

fingers against the tight bundle of

nerves between her legs. Using a

light touch he stroked her clit in time

to the rhythm of her stroking Savitar’s

cock.

“Do you see what you do to us,

mate? My cock has been hard all day

just thinking about you. Can you feel

my hunger for you? Can you feel how

much Kadan needs you as well?”

Savitar growled out.

“Yes,” she whispered breathlessly.

“Spread for me, mate,” Kadan

growled against her ear as he

lowered down to press kisses along

her neck over his own mark.

Shifting her legs further apart, her

breath hitched as Kadan pushed two

fingers into her slick heat. Savitar’s

mouth smashed down on hers, his

tongue plunging deep as she hummed

with pleasure.

She could feel their fear of losing

her and tried to combat it by showing

them with her body how much they

meant to her. Her feelings for them

were complicated, but she had been

telling the truth. She didn’t think she

would be able to leave them, even if

there was a way for her to go back

home. Her connection to them was

too deep, too strong.

Her head went hazy as they

continued to touch her. Every time

one of them stroked the mating marks

they had left on her neck, it made her

body burn. She could also feel the

pleasure that whipped through each

of the men when their own mark was

touched as well.

Filing that information away for

later use, Raven used her other hand

to reach down so she could cup

Savitar’s balls gently in the palm of

her hand. She could feel them draw

up tighter to his body and knew he

was close, but before he did, she

wanted more.

“I want to taste you,” she

whispered, watching the lust flare in

Savitar’s eyes. He took a step back

and hoisted himself up so he was

sitting on the edge of the bathing

pool. In this position he was at the

perfect height for her to get a good

look at his huge cock. Not wasting

any time, Raven opened her mouth

wide and took the head of his shaft

deep.

“Raven!”

Swirling her tongue around the

head of his cock, she lapped up the

sweet pre-cum leaking from the tiny

hole at the tip then started to slide her

mouth up and down on his shaft. She

kept her eyes on his as she sped up

the movements of her hand on the

base of his shaft and squeezed just a

little bit tighter, making him snarl

with pleasure.

“Need you now, mate,” Kadan

growled.

He pulled his fingers from her and

lifted one of her legs in a firm grip.

Raven released Savitar’s cock from

her mouth as Kadan pushed the head

of his enormous cock straight into her

tight pussy, forcing the large head

into her small hole from behind.

“Oh, god!”

“Hurt?” Kadan asked, his chest

billowing with the effort to remain

still.

“No, it feels good. So good…”

“Tight,” Kadan snarled. “Mine!”

“And mine!” Savitar growled back.

Raven’s lips wrapped around

Savitar’s cock again and she began

bobbing up and down his thick shaft

as Kadan began thrusting into her

over and over, pushing deeper with

each jerk of his hips. He reached

under her arms and used one hand to

pull lightly at her nipple as his mouth

brushed down over his mating mark.

“Shit, I am coming. Pull away, my

love,” Savitar ordered, but she

refused. Continuing to stroke her

hands over his shaft, she sucked hard

on the head, wanting him to feed her

his cum.

“Is that what you want, Raven?

Then drink what I give you. Drink my
