Eight Months Later

A sense of déjà vu hits me as I glide my hands down the silk of my dress, only this time, instead of a white dress with an ombre that reflects the sunset at my hem, my whole dress is a rainbow. It’s in a Grecian style, gathered at my shoulders and waist, flowing in soft silk to pool on the ground. A golden, jewelled belt glints around my waist, a gift from the guys, and I’m praying that it’s not real gold or stones, but knowing them it just might be.

And the best bit? It starts as a lilac strip on my right side, moving through pastel rainbow colours all the way round, and when I twirl, I feel like I’m the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. The gold sequin heels probably help with that too.

“You look so beautiful,” Willow tells me, voice soft, and I look up into the mirror to see her elfin face beaming back at me. It took time, but she forgave me for the whole faking my own death and having to attend my pretend funeral thing. “Again.”

We both crack up until I scold her for almost making me cry, and we end up wrapped up in a tight hug.

“You are the best bitch a girl could ever have,” I whisper, my voice a little thick as I fight to hold back happy tears.

“You too, babe.”

“Come on, Lilly Bear,” Lexi calls, striding into the room and looking fucking stunning in a form-fitting, gold dress. “You don’t want to keep them waiting, otherwise they’ll come up here and you’ll never get to the ceremony with you looking so gorgeous.”

We’re in the main bedroom at Ash’s—I guess our—house in the woods. We’ve made it into a home, somewhere away from the hustle and bustle of a town or city. Somewhere peaceful, and full of fresh air for Violet. Plus, the crazy security that the guys have installed means that we all feel safe here.

“You’re right, bloody cavemen,” I answer with a chuckle, picking up my skirts because I always wanted a dress that I had to do that with, and what better day than now? “Is Violet okay?”

“She’s with Ryan and Enzo. I swear those men are wrapped around her little finger,” Lexi chuckles as we make our way downstairs, and I pause when I see who’s waiting for me at the bottom.

“You look beautiful, Lilly,” Tom states, his eyes glistening as he gazes at me in wonder. I’m sure I look back at him with the same expression. I still can’t believe that after all this time, I know who my biological father is, and he’s here to give me away to my soulmates.

“Thank you for today,” I tell him when I reach the bottom step, a lightness suffusing my limbs as I take his hands in both of mine. “It means…a lot.”

“I am honoured to walk my daughter down the aisle,” he answers, his voice thick with emotion and laugh lines etched into his face. “I never thought that I’d experience it.”

I squeeze his hands, once again fighting those damn tears, otherwise, Willow will scold me for ruining my makeup.

“Ready?” I ask him, and he chuckles.

“Isn’t that my line?”

Laughing, we walk out of the front door into the late afternoon sunshine, and the feel of it caressing my skin has me sighing in bliss. Butterflies start flying around in my stomach as we walk down the floral-decorated path to the clearing, and the sound of a piano being played reaches my ears. My breath catches when we arrive and I see Ash sitting at the instrument dressed in a beautiful, light grey linen suit that showcases all his glorious ink.

He looks up, and just like that first night at the cabin, he starts to sing. I recognise the song as Infinity by Jaymes Young, and the world stops spinning as he holds my gaze, telling everyone in the clearing how he feels. My breath catches, and I just watch enraptured as he serenades me with his beautiful, husky voice.

I don’t know how we arrive at the end of the aisle, only blinking when the song comes to a close as I realise that the others are all there too. Loki in a floral shirt covered in lilies, suit trousers, and a waistcoat, the shirt and waistcoat unbuttoned to reveal his delicious, inked chest, his nipple bar twinkling in the sun. Jax is next to him, looking positively delicious in his signature black; black shirtsleeves rolled to the elbow, black trousers, and black boots, laces undone. Kai is on my other side, gorgeous in mustard chinos and a green, chequered shirt with a forest green waistcoat. Ash comes up next to him, his gaze intense as he takes me in. I do the same to them all, drinking them in as if for the first time, my heart thudding in my chest as I realise that this is really happening.

“Take care of her,” Tom tells them, pressing a kiss to my cheek and stepping away.

“Always,” they reply together, and I would giggle if they didn’t look so serious. Kai takes one hand, Loki the other, and we turn to face Oleta, our celebrant, the sounds of the woods tickling our ears.

“Gentlemen, Lilly, shall we begin?” Oleta asks, and my cheeks ache with my wide smile. We all nod. We decided that we’d use my real name, I just couldn’t stand the idea of doing this under a false name, and we trust everyone present, they all know who I am after all.

“I’d like to start with a poem by Rev. Daniel L. Harris. It’s one that Asher suggested as it encapsulates what he, Loki, Jax, and Kai feel for Lilly and what this ceremony means to them. It’s called The Blessing of the Hands.

‘These are the hands of your best friend, young and strong and full of love for you, that are holding yours on your wedding day, as you promise to love each other today, tomorrow, and forever.

These are the hands that will work alongside yours, as together you build your future.

These are the hands that will passionately love you and cherish you through the years, and with the slightest touch, will comfort you like no other.

These are the hands that will hold you when fear or grief fills your mind.

These are the hands that will countless times wipe the tears from your eyes; tears of sorrow, and tears of joy.

These are the hands that will tenderly hold your children.

These are the hands that will help you to hold your family as one.

These are the hands that will give you strength when you need it.

And lastly, these are the hands that even when wrinkled and aged, will still be reaching for yours, still giving you the same unspoken tenderness with just a touch.’

Tears fill my eyes at the words, and I have to swallow hard to stop them from falling, my grip on Loki and Kai’s hands tight. My whole body feels alight with feeling, my heart so full that it’s a wonder it’s not exploded.

“And now, your vows and the handfasting,” she continues, smiling broadly at us.

Loki lets go of my hand, Kai using his grip to turn me to face him. We place our hands between us, and Oleta brings out a beautiful woven rainbow cord, made up of ribbon, the colours matching my dress perfectly.

“You were my light when there was only darkness, Sweetheart,” Kai begins, and my eyes stare into his honey brown ones, the image wavering at the edges with my unshed tears. “You showed me that there was something to hope for, that I could be loved. You are my soul, my heart, and my light.”

As he speaks, Oleta wraps the cord around our hands binding us together. The tears fall by the end of his speech, tracing a hot path down my cheeks, and he reaches up with his spare hand to wipe them away, his smile beatific.

Loki steps up next to us, placing his hand over the top of ours.

“I knew that you would change my life, our lives, from the first moment that you stepped out of that shower,” he tells me, his emerald eyes glowing in the sun. “I just never knew how much you would become a part of me. You are buried so deep inside, Pretty Girl, that if they were to cut me in half you would be there too, in every part of me.”

I bite my lip, my breath hitching as he speaks, the cord wrapping around his hand and binding him to us. Jax is next, the massive bastard stepping up behind me and reaching around to lay his huge palm on top. He’s so close I can feel every ridge, every outline of him, and it sends a heat searing to my core when he leans down to rumble in my ear, letting only me hear his declaration.

“You are mine, Baby Girl, and I am yours until we draw our last breaths on this cursed earth. And even then I’ll fucking hold your soul to ransom and I dare anyone to take it away from me.”

Gods, this man. When he makes a love confession, he doesn’t do it by halves. My body aches for him, my heart soaring, and I don’t know if I’m more emotional or turned on right now. Grey eyes capture mine, as Jax’s hand is bound to mine, Loki’s, and Kai’s. Ash steps to the side of Kai who shifts a little so that my dark Knight can stand in front of me.

“You are the best part of me, Princess. You taught me how to love again, how to live again, how to breathe again. You arrived like a shooting star, burning all the bad that came your way and leaving only good. We were destined, it was written in the stars that we would be together, and I will never stop worshipping you, never stop thanking whatever god decided that I was worthy of you.”

Ash always had a way with words, and he’s just proven it to all our friends and family. I stare into his intense eyes, full of swirling emotions, and feel a completeness deep in my soul. His hand, too, is wrapped in the cord.

And then it’s my turn. Taking a deep shaking inhale, I look at each of them in turn, my lashes dotted with tears.

“You all gave me love at a time when I’d lost everything. You gave me hope when I felt hopeless. You gave me back the parts of myself that I never knew were missing. You captured my heart, we are all bound together for eternity, and I never want to be released from your love.”

I pour all that I have, all that I am into my words, and know that they affect my Knights as much as they do me when I look into jewelled eyes, all glistening. Jax pulls me closer, and I feel the shudder of his shaky breath.

The final knot is tied, and Loki pulls our clasped hands upwards to a cheer of the crowd behind us. Laughter falls from my own lips as tears drip down my cheeks, my body feeling weightless with happiness. I glance over and see all of our loved ones here; my grandparents, Ryan and Lexie, Enzo and Rosa, plus Tom who’s holding our daughter, who seems delighted by the whole thing and is beaming a huge, gummy grin.

Jax’s mum is here too, standing with Loki’s sisters who whoop and cheer. Ash’s mum is in rehab, undergoing a withdrawal from years of being drugged by his dad. Loki’s mum has fled the country, having emptied the family bank account upon hearing of her husband’s arrest. I’m glad, I never did like her, so we’re looking after the twins too, our woodland home full of life and laughter.

“Well, I believe you have rings you’d all like to exchange?” Oleta asks, her own smile wide, and we all laugh again as we almost forgot that part.

I manage to place simple bands of platinum on each of the guys’ left ring fingers, Willow holding them out for us. Kai then takes the puzzle ring that they had made for me; four intertwining bands of rose gold, platinum, gold, and white gold. One band for each of my men. He places it on my left ring finger, Loki taking over to push it down a little, then Ash follows, and Jax pushes it the rest of the way. The cool metal warms quickly to my skin and having taken off my wedding ring and engagement ring when I ‘died,’ a sigh of relief leaves me at having the familiar weight back on my finger.

“And that concludes our celebration,” Oleta says. “All that’s left for me to say is—”

She’s cut off by Loki grabbing the back of my head and slamming his lips to mine. I laugh into his kiss, soon having to hold back a moan as his tongue caresses the seam of my lips, begging me to open to him. He kisses me soundly, my toes curling in my shoes when Jax’s free hand wraps around the front of my throat, clearly not giving two fucks about our audience.

Loki pulls away with reddened lips pulled up into a shit-eating grin, and gives me a roguish wink. I just shake my head, my movement stopped by Ash grabbing my jaw and pulling my lips to hover milimetres from his.

“My turn,” he says in a low voice, the words caressing my skin before his lips close the distance and he destroys me with his kiss. It’s all Ash; hard, controlling, demanding yet full of tender worship, and I give in to him completely, my free hand resting on his chest, feeling his heart beating underneath my fingertips.

He pulls away with a lingering peck, and my eyelids flutter open to replace Kai waiting. His free hand cups my cheek in a gentle gesture, and I nuzzle into the touch, my eyes briefly closing at the comfort. Achingly slow, he brings our mouths together, peppering light kisses over my lips, a small whine leaving mine. I can feel the smirk just before he finally deepens the kiss, plunging his tongue into my mouth and stealing my breath. His kiss reinforces his vows, tells me how much he loves me, and I return it, confessing my truth into his own mouth until we part, both gasping and needy.

Jax moves his grip from my throat to my jaw, turning my head to an almost uncomfortable angle before he lowers his lips and presses a soft, chaste kiss to my own. He pulls away just enough to stare into my eyes, his own filled blue fire.

“I’ll get a proper kiss between those sweet thighs later, Baby Girl,” he murmurs, stroking my lower lip with his thumb.

Fuck.

Me.

Boom, there goes my knickers. Grinning with a look that tells me he knows exactly what state he’s left me in, he lets go of my jaw, but moves his palm to the top of my collarbone, holding me in such a possessive way that I can feel how ruined my panties really are. Fannymuncher.

“Time to party!” Loki shouts, and another cheer goes up as Dancing in the Moonlight by Jubël and NEIMY starts to play over speakers placed around the clearing.

“I love this song!” I cry, quickly untangling myself from our binding, the guys chuckling at my enthusiasm.

Once free, I then drag them all to the dance floor that’s been set up to one side of the clearing behind us, a buffet table and bar on the other, beautifully decorated tables dotted around, glass jars of fairy lights twinkling on their surfaces.

We dance together, wide smiles splitting our faces, and as I look around to see all the people we love here with us, Jax holding our daughter who squeals with delight as he twirls around.

I can’t help but think that maybe, just maybe, it was all worth it. All the pain, all the uncertainty, all the heartache and trauma.

Because all of that led me to them. To my Knights. To the other parts of my soul.

And I wouldn’t be without them for any-fucking-thing.

LILY

Some hours later…

I’m still laughing as Loki drags me into the woods, the sounds of the party dying down the deeper into the trees we go. Moonlight surrounds us, lanterns lighting our way down a narrow path.

“Where are we going?” I giggle, clasping his forearm which feels fucking delicious as it flexes under my grip.

“Can’t ruin the surprise, Pretty Girl,” he chides me, his own teeth gleaming in the moonlight as he grins back at me.

Suddenly, I can see more lights between the trees, and we come out into another small clearing, a huge yurt covered in fairy lights sitting in the middle.

“Loki—” I gasp, pulling him to a stop. “What about Violet? She hasn’t spent a night away from me yet and I—” He cuts me off with a finger to my lips.

“She’s with Lexi at ours, and we won’t be sleeping here so we’ll be back with her before she wakes up. They have some expressed milk just in case,” he assures me, stepping closer until his body is flush with mine and I can feel his heat through my thin dress. “Just for an hour…or three, maybe four.” He gives me a wink and a cheeky grin that I just can’t resist. Cockwomble.

“Okay,” I agree, excitement making my fingers tingle, and my heart rate picking up. I love our daughter more than life, but having some time to be me again, to be us again, feels right and important. So that I remember that I’m still Lilly, as well as a mum.

“Good girl,” he praises, and I shiver, but not with cold as he drags me the rest of the way.

He pushes open the flap, and I step inside, taking a sharp inhale at the beautiful sight before me. Colour is everywhere; bright rugs and cushions dotted around, plus an enormous bed in the middle of the floor, and it’s all lit up with soft candlelight coming from countless tea lights in jars as well as more fairy lights in the roof space.

“Do you like it, Princess?” Ash asks, stepping from the shadows, and I swallow as I take in his naked, tattooed chest, his linen trousers slung low on his hips, and his feet bare as he stalks towards me.

“It’s breathtaking,” I tell him, not taking my eyes off his stunning body, tilting my head upwards as he gets nearer so that I can look into his beautiful, swirling grey eyes.

“I’m glad that you approve,” he replies, one side of his lips tilted up in a half grin that he knows drives me crazy. His long fingers reach out to hook under the shoulder of my dress.

The belt falls to the ground with a soft thud, the sound of the zipper at the back being undone fills the quiet as Loki undoes my dress, Ash pulling first one shoulder down, then the other. The dress pools at my feet in a rainbow puddle on the floor, and I watch as Ash’s face goes slack when he takes in my white corset, matching lace thong, and white suspenders and stockings.

“Do you like it?” I ask, parroting his own words back at him, my voice low and husky at the hunger in his eyes.

“You’re breathtaking,” he repeats my words back to me, reaching out again to run his musician’s fingers across the top of my breasts. My skin pebbles as I shiver under his touch. “I believe that Jax owes you a kiss.”

My breath stutters, heat flooding my core as Jax’s words from earlier fill my mind.

“I’ll get a proper kiss between those sweet thighs later, Baby Girl.”

The man himself emerges from the shadows, and Ash steps aside to allow Jax to stand before me, also shirt and shoeless. His body practically thrums with power, and something in me preens at the sheer masculinity that rolls off him in intoxicating waves. The soft sounds of music fill the air as he sinks to his knees, 365 by Mother’s Daughter, and I know it’s Loki’s doing as I’ve been obsessed with this artist recently.

I squeak when Jax grabs my arse, his huge hands squeezing my cheeks to the point of pain, and he yanks me closer. He buries his nose in my lace-clad cunt, taking a massive inhale, and heat floods my core, ruining my knickers further as he rubs his face in my scent like a cat. A big, fucking gorgeous cat.

“You always smell so fucking good,” he growls the words, his hot breath brushing over the dampness and leaving me trembling.

“Yes, you fucking do,” Loki murmurs, nuzzling into my neck and sending sweet vibrations straight to my nipples which peak under my corset. His hands come around, dipping into the top of my corset, and pull first one breast out and then the other. The heat from his now bare chest sizzles up my back where our skin touches.

Kneading my breasts in his palms and rubbing my sensitive nipples between his thumb and forefinger, he distracts me until the sharp sting of ripping fabric tells me that another pair of knickers has joined the many others that Jax has ripped off my body. I can’t even be cross anymore, he replaces them all anyway, and as his mouth descends on my aching pussy, all thoughts of calling him out for it vanish.

“Fuuuck—” I groan out low and long as Jax’s hand leaves my arse to grab my leg and place it over his shoulder so he can go deeper.

What he then does with his tongue should be fucking illegal, making low appreciative noises in his throat as he licks, sucks, and nibbles my dripping cunt. Fire begins to burn under my skin as Loki starts sucking my neck, mimicking Jax’s movements until it feels like I’m in a tug of war with one man on either end, pulling me closer towards release.

“You look so fucking perfect like that, Princess,” Ash’s low drawl has my closed eyelids opening to see him standing behind and to one side of Jax. I follow the movement of his arm, sucking in a sharp breath when I see his inked-up hand wrapped around his dick, the magic cross piercing glinting in the low light. “Doesn’t she, Kai?”

“Beautiful,” Kai answers, stepping from the darkness at the edges of the yurt, shirtless and shoeless like the others. His own hand strokes his hard length, and my breath stutters as my eyes flit between him and Ash, watching as they pump their fists.

I yelp as a sharp slap lands on my pussy, wetness immediately following the sting.

“Stop getting distracted, Baby Girl,” Jax admonishes in a low voice full of threat. “Or I won’t let you come.” I make a keen noise at the threat.

“Maybe she needs to be punished,” Loki suggests, and I whimper, a full body shudder making me tremble in his arms.

“You have something in mind?” Jax asks him, and I feel Loki grin against my neck.

“Let go of her,” he says, and when Jax does, Loki twists us around, my back still to his front, and pulls me backwards, towards where the bed was. He drops down, dragging me with him and scooting us back until his back hits the headboard.

“Loki!” I protest, gasping when he arranges me on his lap with my legs over his forearms, my bare pussy completely exposed.

“Now take out that monster cock of yours and whip her with it,” Loki tells Jax, ignoring me completely.

Lightning races up my spine at his suggestion of my punishment, and my core clenches so hard I’m almost coming from the thought alone.

“Oh, she liked that,” Kai comments darkly, his gaze fixed on my slick opening, his lips pulled up into a grin.

“You want me to whip that dripping cunt of yours with my big dick, baby?” Jax asks as he stalks towards me, unzipping his trousers when he reaches the end of the bed and stepping out of them. His dick is thick and full, so big that I always have a flutter of fear when it’s near me. I nod. “Use your words.”

“Yes, please.”

He gives me a full, masculine smirk, kneeling on the bed and grasping his cock as he gets into position, his knees spread so that his dick is hovering over my pussy.

“Count for me, Baby Girl,” he commands, then brings his hard length down. Hard. I cry out, my back arching as wetness seeps out of my lower lips.

“O–one,” I gasp, my core contracting with the force of his hit. Fuck, that felt incredible.

“She really likes that,” Ash comments and I twist my head to see him to the side of us, on the bed, his stare fixated between my legs. “Again.”

“Yes, boss,” Jax teases, bringing his cock down again, harder this time, and the wet sound of his flesh hitting mine is obscene, louder than the music playing in the background.

“T–two,” I rasp out, my whole body shaking in Loki’s grip.

“Again,” Ash orders and Jax obeys, giving me three slaps in quick succession leaving me writhing in Loki’s arms.

“What number are we on, Baby Girl?” Jax pants, and I crack my eyelids to look at him. His face is flushed, his chest slick with sweat. His dick is covered in my cream, precum leaking from the tip as he grips it hard at the base.

‘U–uhum..’ I stutter, my mind a fucking mess, just like my body is.

“Five, Pretty Girl,” Loki whispers in my ear, flexing his hips, and I can feel how hard he is beneath me.

“Five.”

“Good girl,” Jax praises, trailing his fingers up my thigh. “Five more I think, or until you come. You’re so close aren’t you, baby?”

“Yes,” I moan, feeling my climax fluttering at the edges, leaving the world hyper-focused.

“Then come for me quickly, and I’ll fuck you hard with my monster cock,” Jax tells me, and Jesus fucking Christ his dirty talk is something else that needs to be a crime.

The hand not gripping his cock skates up my body, gripping the front of my throat tightly until I can barely get any air into my lungs.

“Eyes stay on me,” he orders, and I look into his blue orbs as I feel another hard slap of his hard dick against my sensitive folds.

Shit.

My body jerks with the movement, more wetness seeping out of me and splashing my thighs as he does it again.

And again.

And again.

The next hit has me screaming his name as my fingernails claw Loki’s arms to shreds when my orgasm slams into me, stealing my fucking breath and soul as I soar into the stars.

Wave upon wave of hot pleasure smashes into me as my whole body feels like it goes rigid and liquid all at once. Loki holds me still, telling me what a good fucking girl I am as Jax starts to fight against my pulsing cunt and pushes inside my fluttering channel.

“Fucking hell,” he growls out, sinking deeper into me and prolonging my climax as I writhe and buck beneath him.

He gives me no time to adjust, my wet body accepting his intrusion easily as he bottoms out, then immediately starts to pound into me with such force that I hear Loki grunt behind me.

“Shit, bro, I’m glad that’s not my asshole you’re fucking right now,” Loki exclaims as his grip tightens on my legs, holding me open for Jax to fuck even harder.

“You wish,” Jax teases, his hand still gripping my throat as he destroys me with his dick, and I am fucking here for it, my tits bouncing painfully with each surge of his hips.

“Jax–fuck–shit—” I mumble, unable to say much when his grip around my throat tightens and only lets a trickle of air into my lungs.

I can feel a second release fast approaching, Jax building me up again every time he slams inside me and his pubic bone hits my clit. Pleasure zings up from my core, making my entire body tingle with the impending explosion.

“That’s it, baby,” Loki murmurs in my ear, licking up sweat that drips down my temple. “Come for him, cover him with your release.”

Jax picks up the pace, then suddenly pulls out, and I squirt all over him as I come with a scream. His own release covers my corset and breasts, the hot cum dripping between them as ropes of it shoot out of the tip of him.

“Shit, Baby Girl,” he rasps, falling to the side only for Ash to take his place.

“As much as I like this,” he indicates my heaving chest that’s covered in lace and Jax’s climax. “I want to feel those breasts more as I fuck you and fill you with my cum.”

Reaching forward he undoes the clasps at the front of the garment, undoing the suspenders that hold my stockings up.

“You can leave these and the shoes on,” he tells me, pulling the corset off and tossing it behind me. I can feel some of Jax’s cum slide down between my breasts, and Ash’s eyes trace its journey down my body. “Fucking perfect.”

Loki keeps hold of my legs, bringing them up more as Ash lines up his pierced cock with my opening then starts to push inside. My eyes roll, my thighs already quivering as he thrusts further inside me until he’s all the way in.

“Ash,” I say with a gasp, his hand cupping my cheek as he presses our foreheads together, my own gripping the back of his neck.

“I know, Princess,” he whispers, his hips moving in an undulating rhythm that has me seeing stars at the edge of my vision. “It feels so fucking good, so fucking right when I’m inside you.”

He keeps our foreheads pressed together while he fucks me slowly and deeply, a contrast to Jax’s frantic fucking. Call Out My Name, also by Mother’s Daughter, begins to play as Ash whispers sweet, love declarations in my ear all the while bringing me closer to the edge.

“‘When in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes,

I all alone beweep my outcast state,

And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,

And look upon myself and curse my fate,

wishing me like to one more rich in hope,

Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,

Desiring this man’s art, and that man’s scope,

With what I most enjoy contented least;

Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,

Haply I think on thee—and then my state,

Like to the lark at break of day arising

From sullen earth sings hymns at heaven’s gate;

For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings,

That then I scorn to change my state with kings.’”

Tears fill my eyes and track down my cheeks at his recitation of one of Shakespeare’s sonnets, and I remember all the other times that he quoted my favourite poet’s words at me, using them as our own love language.

“Come for me, beautiful,” he demands, his voice raspy and deep with how close to his climax he is. “Show me that you are mine.”

One hand keeps cupping my cheek as the other comes between us and starts playing with my swollen clit, rubbing it in a rhythm that has the stars at the edges of my vision exploding and covering my body with stardust as I cry out his name. My limbs feel as though they are heavy and weightless all at once, like the stars really have come to earth and are filling me up with their light.

“Lilly—” he grunts out as he thrusts deeply a final time, filling me with his climax, his whole body rigid.

Panting, he stays buried inside me, our breaths intermingled as we share each other’s air, unwilling to part just yet.

“I love you, Ash. So much,” I whisper against his lips.

“I love you, my Lilly,” he replies, placing a kiss against my lips before pulling away and out of me. I hiss as he leaves my body, but Kai gives me no time to mourn the loss as he moves up between my thighs.

“Kai–I–I can’t,” I whimper, my whole body aching as Loki finally lowers my legs, which tremble and shake.

“Yes, you can, Pet,” he tells me, his voice a hard command. “And you will take Loki and I beautifully, because you’re our very special girl, aren’t you?”

I shudder as I feel Loki taking off his trousers beneath me, watching as he kicks them off his feet and Kai throws them off the bed. Someone hands Kai some lube, and he squirts some into his palm, reaching between my legs. Loki groans underneath me, dropping his head to my neck and biting me as Kai lubes his dick up.

“Shit,” Loki curses, his palms squeezing my thighs. Contrary to what I believe, my body reacts as my pussy pulses with the harsh touch.

“We’re both going to fuck this sweet pussy, aren’t we, Pet?” Kai asks, and I’m not sure which of us he’s talking to, but we both moan. “Lift up a little, Sweetheart.” And I know that command is for me, so I place my feet on the bed and lift my hips, gasping when I feel the metal of Loki’s piercing against my swollen channel. “Good girl, now sink down.”

Again, I do as commanded, and a small whimper sounds in my throat as Loki’s dick goes all the way in, impaling me on his hard length.

“Fuck, you feel epic,” Loki rasps out, his hand hooking around my thighs and opening me further as he scoots us down a little.

I watch as Kai slicks up his own cock, the metal of his piercings sparkling in the candlelight. Loki groans as I clench around him, his hips making small movements that make me gasp and groan in turn. Kai leans over us, positioning himself at my opening which is full of Loki.

“Deep breaths, Pet,” he instructs, surging forward and slowly pushing himself alongside Loki.

Fucking hell.

There’s pain, but Loki quickly overrides that with his fingers playing my clit like he plays his guitar, and wetness that I didn’t think was possible given how much I’ve already come, seeps out of me.

“That’s it, baby. Take us both like the good fucking girl you are,” Loki moans in my ear, and I pant as Kai pushes in further, all of us groaning when he finally bottoms out.

“That’s so fucking hot,” Jax comments, and I glance over to see his solid dick in his hand which is pumping up at down at the sight of us before him.

“Eyes my way, Pet,” Kai orders, and my gaze snaps back to him as he slowly starts to withdraw, only to thrust back in hard, making Loki and I cry out.

“Fuck, your piercings—” Loki exclaims, and I can imagine how good they feel rubbed up against him inside me.

After that, I’m lost to the push and pull of Loki and Kai as they replace a rhythm that leaves me breathless and shaking all over, sweat covering my skin as I ride out the pleasure that they are giving me. It takes surprisingly little time for another orgasm to sneak up on me, and I’m crying by the time the wave crests and drags me under in sheer bliss.

My whole body goes limp between them as they continue to use me, replaceing their release inside me together and filling me up with their seed. I hear Jax grunt, and then Ash as their release hits my torso and breasts, marking me as theirs.

“We are your Knights,” Ash states, and I open my closed lids to look at him above me.

“But you are our fucking queen,” Jax adds, his fingers caressing my cheek until my head turns to him.

“And we will always love you,” Loki whispers beneath me, placing a kiss on my neck, my cheek, and my temple.

“And we will always be yours to command,” Kai adds, and I gasp as he pulls out of me, Loki slipping out at the same time.

“And I will love you for all eternity,” I tell them in a breathless whisper, gazing around at the three Knights above me, Loki pulling me closer to him beneath me.

We stay in our tent, making love and dozing until the sun kisses the horizon and it’s time to go back to the last piece of us; our daughter.

After cleaning up, we walk through the forest, the sound of the dawn chorus serenading us as we make our way home. I look at my soulmates, my lovers and husbands, and am filled with a sense of peace as I walk, seeing a similar expression on their faces.

Somehow, we found each other, and amongst all of the terrible things that have happened to each of us, we found ourselves too. We discovered a love that defies all the monsters of the world, that dares them to try and rip us apart, to break our bond. We brought new life into a world that was full of darkness, and now as the sun rises I can’t help but think of all the light that is to follow, chasing away the dark, until it is all that is left.

We have been released from our shackles and bound ourselves together, our hearts captured in a love so strong that it can never be broken.
