Van, Becca - Her Norland Warriors (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting) (12 page)

Jess cried as Hakon found his release, spewing his wad down her throat, and she made sure she swallowed every drop, loving the taste of his essence and the fact she had brought him so much pleasure. She licked him clean and released him with a loud pop as he pulled from her mouth. He gave her a sweet, gentle kiss on her mouth then grinned at her wickedly as he reached between her and Dagr’s bodies, being careful not to touch his brother. He slid his finger onto her clit and began to massage rapidly, applying more and more pressure as his brothers slammed their cocks in and out of her holes. It was too much.

Jess arched her neck, opened her mouth, and screamed as her whole body jerked and convulsed with pleasure. Her cunt gushed out her liquid release as her body clamped down hard on Dagr’s cock in her pussy and Loki’s cock shuttling in and out of her ass. She heard her two men roar as they reached their own releases, the hot splash of their semen coating the walls of her pussy and ass as her trembles began to subside, until she lay totally spent in their arms.

Jess moaned as Dagr pulled his cock from her now-sore, hot vagina then sighed with relief when Loki carefully withdrew his cock from her ass, picked her up and carried her back to the shower. She couldn’t help but tighten her ass muscles as Loki pulled her down with him onto the seat but relaxed again and then sighed with contentment when Hakon reached for her and pulled her onto his lap. She closed her eyes and groaned with pleasure as her men washed her body, pleased she didn’t have to make the effort, because she was totally spent. She didn’t even think she had the energy to open her eyes.

Once they were done washing her, Hakon carried her from the shower, lowered her feet to the floor, and held her upright while his brothers dried her off. He handed her over to Loki, and he carried her into the bedchamber. He sat with her in his lap while Dagr rummaged through her clothes and pulled out a loose, flowing dress of a shimmering green material. When she was covered, Loki handed her over to a now-dressed Hakon, and he carried her from the room. She snuggled her head into his shoulder, inhaling his clean, masculine scent, sighed with contentment, and wondered where he was taking her.

“I am taking you to the feasting room, sweetheart. You haven’t eaten since yesterday morning. You need nourishment to keep up with your mates.”
Hakon spoke to Jess telepathically, and she knew he was forever in her mind. Maybe this wasn’t so bad after all. She wouldn’t ever have to speak out loud again if she didn’t feel like it.

“You won’t be able to help yourself, Jessamine. I cannot see you not talking ever again,” Hakon said with a grin.

“I suppose you’re right. I was never one to keep my mouth shut,” Jess replied with a giggle.

“Will the other women from the space transport bonded with your warriors ever come to the feasting room? How are they getting food if they never leave the bedrooms?”

“Their bond mates supply them with food, and yes, they are allowed in the feasting room. I think they are quite happy for their mates to bring them nourishment. They are in what you would call the honeymoon stage of their relationship and are reluctant to leave their rooms,” Hakon replied.

“Oh, well good for them, as long as they are happy, that’s all that matters.”

“Yes, from what their mates tell me, the other women are very happy.”

“You know I’m sorry for what I put you all through, don’t you? I didn’t go out of my way to make trouble. I just…had a hard time adjusting is all. I won’t be such a pain in the ass from now on. I’m not saying I won’t ever be angry or upset again, but I will try and deal with it better than I have.”

“Baby, we know you didn’t mean to hurt us and make trouble, so don’t worry over it,” Dagr said as he drew alongside her and Hakon. “We love you just the way you are, Jess.”

“God, what did I do to deserve you all? I think, no I know I’m in love with you as well. With all of you. I just need a little more time to adjust properly, and I need something to do with my time. I can’t spend all day every day sitting around in the garden. I’ll get fatter than I already am.”

“I don’t ever want to hear you speak of yourself like that again, Jessamine. You are not fat, and we don’t care if you do put on weight. You are precious to us, sweetheart—your heart, mind, and body—no matter what size you are. Don’t you get that yet?” Hakon stopped in the hallway to look down at her sternly.

“I’m sorry. I don’t mean to make you mad. It’s just, I was always treated differently back on Earth, and for so long. I guess it will take a while before I begin to believe what you say and what I see in your eyes when you all look at me. I’ll try not to put myself down anymore. I promise.”

“See that you do, baby. You are gorgeous, and we wouldn’t have hesitated to pick you out of thousands of women, no matter what they looked like,” Dagr replied, making her smile at him.

“Thank you. You all make me feel so special.”

“That’s because you are special, little Jess,” Loki drew to a halt beside them. “Are you ready to face them all, beautiful?”

“Yes. Let’s go eat. I’m starving,” Jess said, then laughed as her stomach growled, giving testament to her words.

Chapter Twelve

Jess held Hakon’s and Loki’s hands as they led her into the dining room. Oops, she should try and remember the correct terms for the particular rooms she was entering. Feasting room, that’s what her mates kept calling it. She sat down in the seat Loki pulled out for her and felt her cheeks turn red when she saw so many men staring at her.

“They are in awe of your beauty, sweetheart. Just ignore them,” Hakon whispered in her ear.

Jess lowered her eyes to the tablecloth and tried to ignore the curious stares. One of the men in the table closest to theirs was making her feel very uncomfortable. She could see him gawking at her from beneath her lowered lashes. She felt Loki lean in closer to her, and he whispered in her ear.

“You are our mate now, little Jess, and as such, you are now a leader of our people. If you wish to question anybody, feel free,” he said, then placed a kiss on her temple.

Jess lifted her head and stared back at the rude warrior. He didn’t even seem to notice that she was looking at him. She lifted a hand, pushed her hair back from her face, and nearly burst out laughing as the man watched her every move. She finally had to find out what he found so fascinating about her. She lifted her hand, pointed her finger at the warrior, and beckoned him over by curling it back toward herself. She covered her mouth to hide her smile as the warrior jumped from his seat and swaggered over to stand in front of her. He threw her for a loop when he bowed to her in deference.

“How may I be of service, Lady Jessamine?”

“Uh, what is your name?”

“I am your humble servant, Bjorn Ziland.”

“I was just wondering why you kept staring at me,” Jess said quietly so only the warrior could hear.

“Surely you jest, my lady?” Bjorn asked. She saw him look from her to his leaders, only to see them shaking their heads in negation to his question, then back to her again.

“No, Bjorn. I’m afraid I have no idea,” Jess replied.

“You are the most stunning female I have ever seen. You have fire highlighting your hair when the sun shines upon it. And your body…” Bjorn groaned, and Jess watched as he made an hourglass shape with his hands in the air. “Your body was made for…Sorry, I will not continue. Thank you for asking me your question, my lady. My apologies, sirs. Lucky bastards,” he muttered under his breath, but loud enough for Jess to hear anyway.

Jess knew her face was tinged red with embarrassment. She’d never heard anyone besides her mates wax poetic about her before, and that was only a recent occurrence. But then she burst out laughing as she saw the scowls on all three of her mates’ faces. Her laughter must have been contagious, because first Loki began to chuckle, then Dagr joined in, and so did Hakon. Soon everyone in the room was in fits of laughter, and that made Jess laugh harder, because most of them had no idea why they were laughing.

The arrival of the serving boys put an end to the laughter, and everyone concentrated on filling their bellies. Once the meal was over, warriors began heading toward the table where Jess and her mates sat and began to introduce themselves to her. Jess smiled and nodded politely as each man bowed before her and said their names, but she knew she had no chance in hell at remembering all of them, if any. She gave up after the first ten, sat back, and smiled until her jaw ached. They were down to the last few warriors when a ruckus at the far door drew everyone’s attention. Nadal Highmond and two other men, who had to be his relatives because they had similar features, were making their way toward her and her mates. The men were obviously in a hurry and had frowns on their faces

Dagr stood, his voice roaring across the room making Jess jump. “What are you doing here, Nadal? I thought I banned you from our realm and household for one moon cycle.”

“Forgive me, cousin. We have come to warn you of a threat to our women. One of our warriors and his brothers are rumored to have gone strange of mind. They are searching for any female they can get their hands on to mate with. They don’t care if the female has already been claimed. We have searched far and wide for these men, but have not been able to find them. We have others out searching for them, and they have been seen heading in this direction,” Nadal said anxiously.

“We’ll have to help out with the search, brother,” Dagr stated. “We can’t have any of the females’ safety in jeopardy.”

“I agree. Bjorn, gather all available warriors and have them ready to search for these men,” Hakon commanded, then turned to Jess. “I’m sorry, sweetheart. We are going to be busy for the rest of the day it would seem. Can you find your way back to the bedchamber and the gardens, or do you want me to send you with an escort?”

“No, that’s okay. I think I can find my way back. If I get lost, I’ll just call,” Jess said, tapping a finger to her temple. She stood up onto her tiptoes, grabbed at Hakon’s shoulders, and pulled him down for a kiss. She turned and repeated the process with Dagr and Loki, then moved toward the door.

Jess sighed as she took her time heading in the direction she thought their room was. She must have taken a wrong turn somewhere, because she found herself standing in the doorway of a massive kitchen. Instead of retreating, she walked further into the room and saw several young men cleaning away the breakfast dishes.

“Can I help you, my lady?”

Jess turned her head toward the boy who had spoken and gave him a smile. “You can start by telling me your name.”

“I am Baldr Zigfried, and these are my brothers, Ari and Tyr. We are named after our fathers who look after the security of this realm.”

“I am pleased to meet you. Now, how come you are the only three cleaning up this big mess?” asked Jess.

“It was our turn, my lady. All the serving boys take turns in cleaning up,” Tyr answered.

“Well, since I have nothing better to do, let me wash, and you three can dry.”

“But, we cannot ask you to do such menial work, my lady. It’s not right,” Ari said, his face blushing red as he spoke.

“Well, as far as I am concerned, I am no better than you are. I helped make this mess, and I would feel much better if I could help clean up. Now, move over, Tyr, and let me at the sink. And for goodness’ sake, call me Jess, not my lady.” Jess grumbled as she rolled up her sleeves and got to work.

“Yes, my, uh, Jess,” Tyr stuttered out.

With the four of them working together and Jess at the helm, they had the kitchen back to rights in no time. All the dishes were put away, the counters and food simulators were clean, and Jess felt satisfied at having had something to do. She walked to the kitchen door, the three boys following at her heels like adoring puppies. She rolled her eyes mentally and tried not to let her humor show.

“May we escort you anywhere, Jess?” Ari asked courteously.

“Hmm, well, you could point me in the direction of my bedchamber if you know where it is. That’s the only way I can find my way out to the gardens.”

“If you’ll come this way my—Jess, we will lead you out to the gardens,” Baldric said, offering Jess his elbow.

Jess gave him a smile, wrapped her arm around his, and let him lead her to a section of the gardens she’d never seen before.

“Thank you so much. I would never have found my way by myself,” Jess stated. “You can go if you want. You don’t have to hang around me. I’m just going to wander for a while.”

“We have nothing better to do at the moment, Jess. It would be a pleasure to spend some time with you,” Tyr said earnestly.

“Okay, since you know your way around better than I do, lead the way.”
