sense.
“What for?”
“For letting you get taken. I didn’t protect you this afternoon, and then now, you had to save yourself. We did so little, and as Peacekeepers it is our job to always keep you safe.”
“It is our only job. We failed you.” Raylock growled in her ear.
She turned her face and looked up at Raylock’s tense jaw. “You didn’t fail me.”
“We did.”
She turned her head from one of her mates to the other, a warmth—that had nothing to do with the hot water—pouring through her veins.
“I love you. I love you both, so much. I accept the responsibility of being your mate and I know I’m a bit shaky, but I can save myself too.”
A rumbly, cracked laugh sounded from Raylock as Ashten reached out and grabbed her, pulling her forward onto him.
Her legs drifted open and she straddled him, feeling his cock beneath her buttocks, his hungry body already ready for her.
“We know you can save yourself, beautiful. You’re smart and resilient, and we thank the fates that they sent us someone so strong.” Ashten grinned and gave her a kiss, touching his tongue to her lips and giving her a taste of the passion in store for her.
Her body was tired, her emotions strung tight, but she needed to feel her men next to her, within her, loving her.
Raylock’s hands moved down her spine, finding her arse and drifting between the crack to touch where she was most sensitive.
“Come to bed so we can show you how much we love you.” Raylock growled in her ear.
She rotated her hips, rubbing herself over Ashten’s stiff flesh and Raylock’s fingers. “So you guys love me too?”
Ashten grabbed her waist tight and thrust up so that his cock butted against her opening. “Of course we do! I’ve never been more scared than I was today when you were gone. You can never leave our land again—and if you do, it has to be with both of us. One isn’t enough, I’m not enough.”
She kissed Ashten, her sweet man. He must have felt so guilty about her abduction. She hadn’t really considered it before.
“It’s not your fault, Ashten. I didn’t know where the boundary was, and I should have respected the safety your land gave us. I had no idea there was such a huge difference.”
“So you forgive us for not protecting you as we should?”
Raylock’s voice was the softest she had ever heard it.
She couldn’t have that.
She twisted in Ashten’s arms and grabbed Raylock by the shoulders, wrapping her legs around his waist too.
“Of course I do. I love you. Now, are you two going to make love to me before I pass out? Because after the day I’ve had, I can’t guarantee I’ll still be awake in half an hour.”
Raylock shifted his weight and stood up with her still in his arms. The water ran down his chest and over her thighs and she shivered as the cooler air wrapped around her wet body.
“If we do our job right beautiful, you’ll be passed out in bliss before you know it.”
She moaned and nodded. She couldn’t wait for that. “Please.”
Raylock stepped out of the huge tub, how he maintained his balance while holding her, she had no idea. She just clung to his still wet shoulders and trusted that her men would look after her.
Ashten was in the main room stoking up the fire and as Raylock moved with her towards him, Ashten lifted a fluffy white towel, wiping at her body tenderly, almost reverently.
“I love you, Jacky.” Ashten’s voice was like silk as it wrapped around her heart.
“I love you too.” She reached for him and Raylock put her down on the floor, her feet sinking into the plush rug by the fireplace.
Ashten’s lips met hers and she let herself fall against him, knowing his strength would hold her up. Their tongues tangled, their hands searching and finding each other’s skin.
He tugged her to the floor and she lay down. The rug cushioned her spine as Ashten lay down on top of her, kissing her lips, her nose, her neck. Smothering her in love.
