Ever Cynical

Chapter 60🌶️- Marked Again

Anais POV

When Jothan said he accepted me, my world righted itself. I hadn't realized how much I, no, we needed him until that moment of silence after I laid everything out. The tension was pouring off Kieran and Erik in waves. I knew they wanted him too.

He was a beautiful man, in a much more delicate way than Erik or Kieran. He was tall and muscular, but lean like a swimmer, and a few inches shorter than Kier. Maybe six foot one or two, at most. He had wavy platinum, almost silver hair that was in an undercut like Erik's, but much shorter. He had crystalline turquoise eyes framed with thick lashes and topped by naturally black brows. It was interesting that he had such light hair and dark brows, but it certainly enhanced his beauty. His brows were slender and arched, with high cheekbones and a firm jaw. As with most Fae, he had no hint of facial hair, a straight and smallish nose, and full pouty lips. s*x bomb, right there.

Honestly, my mates made me feel plain, sometimes, and they weren't even trying.

I leapt forward into his lap, and I understood suddenly. This was why, despite mating and marking all three of us had felt a bit restless, like our heats and ruts were never-ending. He was what was missing. I also knew that with Tabitha mating Lugh, we had nearly a full spectrum of species either mated or allied to us closely. Jothan buried his face in my neck, breathing deeply, as Erik and Kieran smiled on. When I felt his lips touch my neck and something very firm under my bum, I knew it was time to adjourn to our room. I hadn't gotten a chance to do my naughty secretary thing yet for Kier, and that was happening before any other naughty s**t in his office.

Erik plucked me out of Jothan's lap. His eyes had turned completely black and he growled, canines out.

"Ohhh he's got himself an earth elemental. Very nice." Kieran grinned. Jothan's head snapped in his direction before darting back to mine.

"It's okay Jothan, we're going to our room so that you can claim us, okay?" I said as soothingly as I could. We could handle him, but obviously I didn't want to actually fight my mate.

"Not Jothan. Nexus." He said in a distorted and much deeper voice. His eyes kept flicking over our other two mates. "Mine?" He questioned.

"Yours." Kier and Erik said together. Nexus grinned widely. It was kinda... creepy? Elementals were usually a little creepy in general, but he didn't actually scare me. They are just such primal beings, it can be a lot. Normally, Elementals choose witches or Fae to bond with because of their heavy magic affinity.

"Lead on, Kodiak." Nexus urged. "Need to claim my Queen." He growled. We walked in silence to our room, s****l tension so thick it felt like a fog. Once we were in the room, Nexus darted around sniffing. "Our Nest?" He asked, and we all nodded. Erik had set me down, and Nexus moved in right next to me, his long fingers stroking my collarbone. I looked into his blacked out eyes.

"Nexus, I am happy to mate you in your natural form. I would like to mate with your human first, though, if that is permissible." I was being very careful. It wasn't necessarily all bad if we mated his Elemental first, but we needed his human form to mark us. Fae used their ability to bite for mating alone. The rest of the time, their fangs stayed hidden. It was surprising that they were on display while Nexus was fronting at all. His eyes flickered over us before he grinned.

"Is fine as long as you still want me too." He asserted, and his eyes flickered back to turquoise when I nodded enthusiastically. Jothan took a deep breath. "Wow that's bloody well never happened before." Damn his accent alone was such a f*****g turn-on.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Nexus has never taken over my body like that. We usually work in tandem. Our souls are bound as long as I'm alive, but it's always been a collaboration, of sorts." He was bemused. Not upset at all, just surprised. I grinned.

"Well, I've no doubt that since I've taken a wolf and a bear's knots in their true forms, that your Elemental can also do the same." Jothan's eyes widened as he looked between the three of us.

"Are you serious?" He said incredulously. "Wasn't that, you know, dangerous?" I chuckled.

"Remember the part of my story where I said I intentionally lost myself off an ocean liner?" He nodded. "I'm nearly indestructible, sweetheart." I stroked his cheek. "But everyone still has too many clothes on." I said, stripping down like it was a race. Jothan's eyes popped as he took in my naked form, his cheeks flushing.

"I... Wow, you're beautiful." He said in wonder. His eyes flicked to my other two mates, who'd understood their Luna's order and stood naked as the day they were born, and stunningly erect. Erik had an arm thrown over Kier's shoulders, looking strangely relaxed. Then I realized. They were giving Jothan his moment, though they were certainly planning to watch. I guess since Kier took the lead with Erik, it was my turn. They both smirked, knowing my thoughts through the bond. "You two, also, are exquisite." Jothan blushed again, his eyes returning to me as he finally lost his gray slacks and burgundy button-up.

His body looked like carved marble, equally pale. Our complexions were nearly identical, where Erik and Keir were all golden and tanned. His hand lifted to me, and I reached out mine to pull him closer. He gasped as I crashed my mouth to his, cupping his neck. His surprise gave way to an undeniable hunger. I could feel his fangs nipping and drawing blood as the need to mate rushed through him. I decided to allow the wounds, tasting my blood on his lips. I felt Kier's concern through the bond.

Don't worry, my mates, I am allowing the injury. I reassured them.

Jothan seemed to have lost himself in passion, and I just allowed him to do what felt right, as I felt his hard, long erection press into my belly button. He was not as thick as the other two, but definitely longer. And in case I left any doubts, certainly thick enough for me to be consumed with need. He pulled back for a moment, licking my blood off of his lips.

"Delicious, darling. I would ask if you are ready, but I can smell you." He said, his finger delving into my soaked folds to verify before he gently pushed me back on to the pillows, pulling my legs apart and settling between them. "I apologize if this is quick, I've... never done this before." He whispered, licking my lower lip. "But I don't think you mind, hmm?" I shook my head, and driven by pure instinct, he rammed forward in one rough thrust, his head popping slightly through my cervix. Damnnnn. He groaned and began a brutal pace until I was screaming as my walls clenched around him, his seed gushing into my womb as he cried out his own release, and his fangs driving deep into my neck. I took the chance to mark him back, and he immediately came again, seed jetting in ropes as his legs shook.

As much as he'd been worried, I was not at all disappointed. None of my mates had done anything I had not thoroughly enjoyed. I could feel Kieran and Erik's lust through my bond, and I knew they were anxious to mate and mark our beautiful new addition. They walked over slowly, sensing that Jothan was not as gung-ho about being with men. He felt the bond, but it was clear he was a little reluctant to engage with them. I stroked Jothan's cheek as Kieran and Erik sat on either side of me.

"Mon ange." I said to him and his clear turquoise eyes stared into mine. "How do you want to do this with your other mates? I sense your hesitation." His cheeks turned pink.

"I want them." He whispered, and both men at my sides groaned. "I just, it's a lot, you know?"

"Yes, I indeed know. I have taken them both at the same time." I said, winking. His jaw dropped, and I felt his c**k harden inside of me. "You like that idea, don't you." He nodded bashfully, two flags of color painted across his cheeks. "I see. Your hesitation isn't being with them. Rather, you're worried that your imaginings won't be welcomed." He nodded again. "Ma doux, in this mateship, we are all kinky. Tell us everything and we will do our best to make your wish come true. Trust me." I grinned, as Kier and Erik nodded. Jothan pumped a few times inside of me, biting his lip as his eyes darted among the three of us.

Both of you put a hand on his ass, I told my mates. Kier giggled, and they did it. Jothan's c**k twitched. Normally I'd have protested but we needed everyone horny to get Jothan through his awkwardness. And Kier, the gummies please. He hopped up and wordlessly popped three in each of our mouths. Jothan seemed confused but accepted what his mate was giving him.

"I... I want to mount the bear while the wolf mounts me." He whispered, and I grinned. Dirty little Fae. A low growl rumbled out of Erik's chest.

"Therus approves." He said, laughing a little as he lifted onto his knees, muscled ass in the air. Kier moved around to prep him, as Jothan pulled out. I saw Kier eye him, clearly wanting to do aftercare. I shook my head, scooting to trade spots with my sexy bear.

"Kier, the juices will help, no cleaning til we're all marked! I want to smell it." I growled, my irises turning purple. He smirked.

"Claire has come out to play, hmm?" He teased as he continued to lube and prep Erik, who was moaning at his alpha's touch. Jothan was standing by, stroking himself.

"Kier, babe, I'm ready." Erik said, and Kier made way for Jothan. Jothan kneeled behind Erik, his c**k dripping as he slid inside.him. "Wow, babe you feel so good." He moaned to Jothan. "Now, let Kier prep you and we'll get going." He grinned over his shoulder, and I couldn't help but kiss him deeply.

Kier stood behind Jothan, who looked like he was going to burst. He ran his hands up the back of Jothan's pale thighs, smiling broadly at me. Goddess, he was such a weirdo sometimes, but I loved him anyway. Jothan moaned and I could feel the spike of pleasure in my core as Kier touched him. This was new. I usually felt pleasure through the bond, but this was different. I saw the others tense and knew it was the same for them. As Kier was finally able to push his massive arousal into Jothan's rosette, I slid under Erik.

"Fuck." Erik said as we all began to move in tandem. It wasn't long before Kier had marked Jothan and Jothan marked Erik as all three came hard. My beautiful mates, I thought, as I wiped a little of Erik's c*m off my chin. They were the best, really.

"Alright handsome cuties, It's Kier's turn to be bottom while Erik tops you both." I announced with a grin.
