STORY EXCERPT

Seeing how similar her facial features were to Queen Tana’s and Princess Shailyn’s, Cosmot had a feeling she was one of the sisters mentioned in the ancient prophecy and King Elfred’s journal Aldric had found and told them about.

“We’re as real as you are, darlin’,” Ambros said as he stepped back from the rocks and carefully lowered her to her feet.

Cosmot and Rhys hurried closer.

“No you’re not,” she snapped, shoving against Ambros’s chest since he was still holding her waist to keep her steady after she’d swayed on her feet. She sidled around him, stomping over to a tree, turned, leaned against the trunk and rubbed her back against the bark. In that moment, Cosmot knew she was half Fae and that her magic was waking. He remembered hearing Aldric and Caerwyn talking about how itchy their mates’ backs had been when their wings had started to develop. Though he couldn’t see her arms since she was wearing a long-sleeved shirt, he’d bet his wings that her magical Fae Runes hidden in her skin were visible and glowing a soft white tinted blue.

“Why do you think we aren’t real?” Rhys asked.

“Because there is no such thing as fairies.” She snorted again.

“Fae,” Cosmot said.

She frowned at him, pushed off the tree and moved to the side of the trunk. “What?”

“We’re the light Fae, baby,” Cosmot said. “Fairy’s a tiny bad tempered being.”

“How long have you been out here wandering the forest on your own?” Ambros asked.

She scowled at him. “How the hell should I know? This is all a dream.”

“I assure you it’s not,” Rhys said. “What’s your name, honey?”

“Sadie Turner.”

Cosmot sucked in a breath and knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that Sadie was one of King Elfred’s daughters. In the Hebrew language, Sadie meant princess.

“You must be tired and hungry,” Cosmot said. “Why don’t you let us take you back to the castle where all of this can be explained to you?”

“I don’t know you, even if you are a figment of my imagination. I don’t go anywhere with strangers,” she snapped, turned and started stomping away.

Cosmot wanted to rush after her, scoop her up into his arms and hold her tight, but he also didn’t want to frighten her. Her blue eyes were like a window to her soul and each time he looked into them he saw so much. Pain, grief, disbelief and wariness.

While he understood her trepidation where they were concerned since they were strangers to her, it also hurt that she didn’t trust them. He knew he was being ludicrous but he couldn’t help the way he felt.

Growing up, all light Fae children had heard how wonderful it was to meet their kindred spirit. His dad and mom had known they were meant to be together the second their gazes had met, but they’d also both been Fae.

Drago and his evil father before him had killed so many of their people. The dark Fae had targeted women and over the last couple of generations their female numbers had dwindled. They’d adapted and evolved and now three or more men ended up being mates to one woman.

Cosmot liked that he’d be sharing with the brothers of his heart, with Rhys and Ambros but right now, he wasn’t sure any of them would be able to convince Sadie that their world and the magical people she’d discovered were real.

Shoving his thoughts aside, he followed Ambros and Rhys, hurrying to catch up with their mate so they could protect her with their lives.

It had been a few weeks, close to a month since Princess Shailyn had defeated Drago, his followers and the demon Drago had summoned and he was worried that it wouldn’t be long before Drago and his cohorts were up to their old tricks again. If that was the case then Sadie’s life was in jeopardy but he wasn’t going to let anything happen to her if he could help it.

Sadie Turner was the most important person in his world even if she didn’t know it and he’d give his life to protect hers.

“You’re going the wrong way,” Ambros said then pointed in the direction of the palace.

“I don’t have to listen to you. You’re not real, not even here.”

“If that was the case then why did you answer me?” Ambros asked.

Cosmot grinned when Sadie glared at Ambros, rolled her eyes and blew out a breath but the smile slid from his face when she ignored Ambros’s directional suggestion and kept walking. He’d heard that Queen Tana had walked through the veil near the north-west of Faylinn and since she was heading that way, he was worried she’d find a way back through the veil, leaving him and his friends behind.

Deciding to call for reinforcements, he used his magic to send his queen and her sister a message asking for help, hoping that they didn’t take too long to get here. Maybe hearing from her half-sisters that Sadie wasn’t hallucinating would help his kindred spirit to accept her new world.

He just hoped the two women didn’t tell Sadie about the ancient prophecy Ruana the seer had foretold until she’d settled in. Cosmot had already worked out that Sadie was as stubborn as her sisters and while he admired that quality, he was worried she’d be too obstinate and end up in danger.

The sooner they could convince her to go the castle with them, the better he’d feel.

ADULT EXCERPT

She leaned back against him, delighting in his strength and his heat. “I know you won’t. I’ve never…”

“We know you’re a virgin, baby,” Cosmot said, as he walked around them to stand in front of her. “We’ll go slow, take our time with you. If you don’t like anything we do, just tell us and we’ll stop.” He untied the belt of her robe, pushed the sides apart and it fell from her body to pool at her feet between her and Ambros.

“Let’s get you comfortable, darlin’.” Ambros swept her up into his arms, stepped toward the bed, where the covers had already been pulled down and he placed her in the middle of the mattress. Rhys shifted down beside her, rolled onto his side with his head propped up in his hand.

Ambros climbed up on her other side and her heart started racing when she saw how big his cock was. He was a big man all over, the biggest of the three so she should have known that his dick would be in proportion to the rest of him. His cock was just as long as Rhys’s but the girth was thicker.

“Look at me, Sadie,” Cosmot said as he gained the bed on his knees near her feet, smoothing his hands up and down her legs, pressing them apart so he could kneel in between them. “You’re so fucking beautiful, baby. Thank you for trusting us and for agreeing to be our mate.”

He leaned toward her, parted his lips over hers and kissed her. Cosmot didn’t hesitate to take what he wanted. He wasn’t over aggressive but he didn’t hold back either. He speared his tongue into her mouth, dancing and parrying with hers.

She moaned when Rhys and Ambros cupped and kneaded her breasts and she reached out toward them, wanting to touch all of them too. She skimmed her hand over Ambros’s big pectoral muscles then down over his hard abdominal muscles. She did the same with her other hand, touching Rhys’s toned body and ripped abs.

Cosmot broke the kiss, then licked and kissed his way down to her chest. He shoved Rhys’s hand from her boob, swirled his tongue around her nipple, making her gasp and groan with frustrated need and when he drew the peak into his mouth and suckled on it, she cried out.

“Our kindred spirit is so damned responsive. We love hearing your cries of passion, darlin’,” Ambros said. “Please never hide them from us.”

She rolled her head back and forth on the pillow, glad they liked the noises she made because she wasn’t sure if she’d be able to stop them or even stifle them.

Cosmot released her nipple, licking and lapping his way down her body, rimming her belly button with the tip of his tongue before he moved lower. He shoved his arms beneath her legs, lifted them up then he licked up through her soaked folds.

“Oh god,” she moaned, astounded by the pleasure of being licked in such a private place. Sadie had heard about oral sex but had never imagined she’d experience it, but now that she had she wanted more. She wanted to have it all and by the end of the night, she had a feeling she’d be addicted to making love with her mates.

* * * *

After the first lick, the first taste of Sadie’s honey, Cosmot knew he’d never get enough. She tasted so sweet and though he wanted to drink her juices down, he wasn’t sure he could wait that long. He felt as if he’d been walking around with an erection for weeks instead of days but he was damned humbled and in awe of her and her trust that they wouldn’t hurt her.

He swirled his tongue around her clit, pressed a finger into her cunt and pumped it until it was in all the way. Thrusting his finger into and out of her slick heat, getting her used to having something in her sexy cunt, then he added another finger. She was so fucking hot. Tight and wet and he was eager to sink his dick into her balls deep, but he needed to stretch her first. She was giving him her virginity and he needed to be careful, to be gentle with her.

Cosmot worked two fingers into her, glancing up her body when she moaned. His dick twitched, leaking precum when he saw that she was kissing Ambros and Rhys was suckling on one of her breasts. Closing his eyes, he spread his fingers, stretching her out while pleasuring her at the same time.

She gasped for air when Rhys released her lips, tangled her fingers into his hair and tugged. “What’s wrong, baby?” Cosmot asked. “Am I hurting you?”

“No,” she groaned. “I can’t wait anymore, Cosmot. I need you inside of me. Please?”

“Anything you want, mate,” he rasped out, withdrew his fingers, wiped his mouth, sat up between her legs, aligned the head of his cock with her cunt and began to penetrate her. He groaned when he breached her wet pussy, the muscles in his legs trembling with desire and restraint while he held still. “Do you want more, Sadie? Am I hurting you.”

“Yes and no.” She panted between each word. “You won’t break me, Cosmot.”

She moved before he figured out what she was up to, shoving her hips up toward his and taking more of his dick deeper into her cunt. He opened his mouth to ask her if she was okay, but she bowed her hips up hard and fast, taking the rest of his cock until he was embedded in her wet heat. “Fuck. You feel amazing around my dick, baby. I was trying to be gentle with you. “

“Fuck gentle. Move, Cosmot. Now!” Sadie demanded, wrapping her legs around his hips and digging her heels into his ass.
