Release broke Saressa’s cage, freeing his soul. He held Isa tighter, but met Toryn’s eyes over her shoulder. No words left his lips, but he hoped he communicated his gratitude. Even if Isa couldn’t deliver on her promise to make another binding impossible, this was enough.
Freedom, after centuries of twisted heartache he knew intellectually wasn’t real, but felt so profoundly he couldn’t deny her hold. With the bond broken, the sick love evaporated, and the hate became manageable. He no longer suffered under the overwhelming war of conflicting emotions.
Toryn’s hand gripped his shoulder. His blue eyes delved into Scotty’s, offering support born of knowledge. He’d witnessed the hell Saressa forced on Scotty. Toryn was the one who got him out of Faerie, and freed him from Saressa’s direct control. Neither of them knew at the time that wouldn’t be enough to set him free.
Isa was still beside him, her breathing steady.
“She’s out, isn’t she?” Scotty asked with a chuckle.
He gave a cocky grin. “I’ve kept her up many nights. This is merely a satisfied nap. She’ll wake soon.”
“You sure she can handle more?”
He nodded slowly. “Definitely. Remember, this was her first time taking two men at once. Think about it, there’s an awful lot of nerve endings and erogenous zones engaged that way. I know how to play her body, and you’re practically a sex god. Did you think she’d be jumping up for the next round two seconds later?”
Scotty laughed. “Bloody abyss, I’m not ready to go again yet.”
Toryn grew more serious. “We okay, man?”
“Even if you decided tonight was done now, yeah.”
“Nope. Not done. I don’t think she’d appreciate breaking the bond only to see it replaced. Let her finish what she started. This was her idea.”
Scotty’s brow arched. “You didn’t suggest it?”
“Honestly, I wasn’t sure how to start that conversation. You can’t tell me you wouldn’t have at least tried to refuse if we couldn’t solve the whole problem. I had a solution to your health, not the bond. Hadn’t figured out how to tackle the subject yet, but after seeing you this morning, I was going to. Isa got there first.”
“You knew how to fix me?”
“I told you. I knew how to drag you out of the downward spiral. She’s the one who came up with the permanent answer.”
Scotty rolled to his back and stared up at the ceiling. “I can’t thank either of you enough.”
“No need for thanks. That’s what friends are for.”
“Not every man is confident enough in their relationship to do something like this.”
“Yeah, you’re right about that. I couldn’t do this with just anyone.” Toryn climbed off the bed. “I’m going to clean her up before she wakes. You mentioned something about exploring her?” Toryn winked before leaving the room.
Scotty looked to Isa still curled beside him. He turned back toward her and combed the black silken strands from her face. Emerald eyes fluttered open. A seductive smile spread across her lips.
Her hand landed on his hip, pulling him against her. His cock sprang to attention, trapped between them. She pressed tighter. “Touch me. I want to feel you.”
Like he could argue. He trailed his palm up her side. Toryn slid onto the bed and slipped a warm washcloth between her legs.
“Mmm, damn,” she muttered, her hips moving toward Toryn as her breasts pressed into Scotty. “I should be numb by now.” She bit down on her lip as she unabashedly rubbed herself against the rag and Toryn’s hand. So fucking sexy.
“You about done playing with her, Toryn?” Scotty asked.
A smirk lifted one corner of his mouth. “You want to take over?”
Licking his lips, he looked down at Isa. “Do you even have to ask?”
Toryn moved to the edge of the bed, sitting where he could enjoy the view.
Scotty grinned, pushing until she was flat on her back. “I can speed your recovery, and bring your sensations and desire back, again and again.” His lips landed on her jaw and trailed down her throat to her collarbone.
She caressed his face, staring into his eyes. “Excellent. We fixed the root of the problem, now we need to prevent it from ever happening again.”
He trusted her, but had to ask, “And how do you plan to do that?”
Isa’s attention flicked to Toryn. He gave her a nod. Dazzling green eyes met his, then she rolled him to his back. “I focus on you for this next part. At least, until I wind the protecting spell tight. Then we can figure it out from there.”
“And if I want to focus on you?” he challenged.
“I’ll need to be coherent. Let me do this for you, then you can take over.”
Toryn laughed. “Good thing none of us works early tomorrow. It’s going to be a long night.”
Isa’s brow arched at Scotty. “You have a fast recovery, right?”
He nodded. “Isa, what are you planning?”
“To do exactly what I want after that too brief taste.”
* * * *
In order to concentrate, Isa figured a blowjob was the way to go. She hoped Toryn let her complete the spell before putting his hands on her.
Licking her lips, she scooted down the bed. Scotty was built strong and rugged but not a trace of hair below his jaw. She dragged her fingernails down every muscle until she got to his V, and what a nice one he had, pointing to his thick, proud length.
Simply gorgeous. She ran her tongue from his balls, up the vein, to his crown. “Oh fuck,” he groaned. His response was damned sexy.
Feeling powerful, her mouth closed over his head as she stroked down his shaft and took what she could in. Sucking, she focused on swirling her tongue around his ridge every time she came back up, making sure to stroke him hard.
His hips rocked, his body vibrating with pleasure. With a rhythm set, she focused on Scotty’s essence. She built the protection around his spirit, focusing her energy on keeping him free of forced bonds. However, she’d realized a true bond had a different origin, and so left room for his mate to slip inside and take root in his heart.
After all the years of torment, Isa wanted Scotty happy. She’d seen enough of Scotty’s future to know he would find his heart’s companion. Isa wasn’t sure what she thought of the woman based on the little she’d gleaned from ancestral memories and Toryn’s confession, but she could always kill the bitch if she hurt Scotty.
She felt her spell fuse as he neared his release.
Scotty’s fingers delved into her hair, guiding her faster as she gave over to the demand, working him harder. She poured all her energy into bringing pleasure, stroking tighter, and playing her tongue over his ridge.
“Isa, fuck, please.”
His cock jerked and she moaned. Then hot seed spurted in her mouth and she swallowed him down. When he finally stilled, she moved up his body with a smile.
“No one can bind you like Saressa did ever again.” Now, his true mate, that was another topic, but she wasn’t sure if he’d appreciate hearing about that now.
Toryn moved behind her, and she leaned back, turning her head. His vibrant blue eyes delved into hers and a warm smile lifted his lips. His love rolled through her, and she relaxed into his embrace.
“Mmm, you two make such a beautiful sight,” Scotty purred, rolling to his side. “I think you’ve done enough watching, Toryn. Give me a show.”
Toryn groaned. “Shall we indulge?”
She grinned, nodding slowly and tried to turn.
He held her in place with a tsking sound. “Trust me, Princess, it’s not me he wants to watch. Relax, and let me take care of you.”
“Very well.” Her man was incredibly creative and she knew he would leave her a puddle of goo.
His hands caressed around her body, then up to cup her breasts. He gently rolled her tight peaks and her head fell back.
“Such a magnificent sight.” Scotty purred. She opened her eyes and found him sitting up, watching her with a new hunger
One of Toryn’s hands slid down her stomach and dipped into her heat.
“Want to see you come,” Scotty groaned, his hand wrapping around his cock, pumping slow. Not fully erect, yet, but well on his way.
Toryn brought her to the mattress and pulled her leg over his thigh to give Scotty a better view. His teasing exploration felt too good to be embarrassed, especially after where they’d already gone as a group.
His deep finger strokes weren’t quite enough to get her there. She needed more and reached for her clit.
Scotty shook his head. “Nope, let me.” He looked over at Toryn as he pinched her clit. That was all it took for her back to arch as release slammed into her.
Toryn entered her core hard, from behind, his hips pumping. Scotty’s fingers rubbed her clit faster as his tongue circled her nipple. Isa’s hands landed on Scotty’s shoulders as both men pushed her toward sensation overload.
Her eyes slammed shut as Toryn kissed her throat. Scotty moved up her body and kissed along her jaw, his throbbing cock rubbing against her abdomen.
“Fucking-fuckity-fuck,” she cried.
Scotty’s laugh rumbled against her. “That good?”
In answer, she wrapped her hand around Scotty’s length and started to stroke in time with Toryn’s thrusts. His mouth was on her then. The kiss deep, his fingers working harder.
Scotty groaned, his hips working in tandem with her hand. He came, splashing her stomach as Toryn brought her to climax with his release.
Isa felt as if she floated on a cloud of warmth. She couldn’t even get her eyes open as the men held her tight. Then Scotty moved. She reached for him but wasn’t fast enough.
His deep chuckle soothed her. “I’ll be right back. My turn to clean you up.”
Her head flopped down.
Toryn whispered against her ear. “Still think you’re walking tomorrow?”
“Oh, is that the goal now?” Isa giggled, rolling toward him. His blue eyes captured hers. His hand trailed up her chest to cover her heart.
“You know if you’re hurting, I’ll fix it, Princess.”
“So will I,” Scotty said as he came back.
“No towel?” Toryn asked.
“Once I saw it, figured the tub would be better. Who the fuck has a tub that big for a cabin?” His brow arched.
“I like soaking,” Isa answered sheepishly, looking back.
Scotty lifted her from Toryn’s embrace and carried her to the bath.
