Ever Cynical

Chapter 50🌶️- She's Not Broken

Kieran POV

My poor mates. Anais had just plain passed out from pleasure. Not totally a bad thing, but poor Erik thought he broke her. I get it, our wild and lengthy sessions as we finally mated and marked were pretty out of control. I knew it wasn't going to be that way forever, and it was my job to soothe them. Especially my bear. I cleaned Anais up as she lay there, and insisted on cleansing Erik as well. He blushed, but seriously, I enjoyed the after-care and the process. Eventually, we'd get to explore our kinks in a more leisurely way, and these two would learn I liked well, being the caretaker. Not sure if that means, you know, in charge, but we'd have to see.

"Is she going to be okay?" Erik fretted nervously as he paced, still deliciously naked. It was all I could do to hold myself back instead of tuck in our mate, but I managed to do it. I stood and covered Anais with a blanket lovingly before I walked over to him and pulled him into a hug, our warm tanned skin sliding together as sparks jumped between us.

"Hey, babe, don't worry. She is very strong, okay? She told you all she's been through. An amazing orgasm is not going to break her." I teased, kissing him full on the mouth, dragging my teeth over his lip as I sucked on it.. It's weird to have the stronger aura and be shorter. Erik was nearly as tall as Ekezeic at seven foot even. He leaned into our embrace, pulling me closer before resting his forehead on mine. His chocolate eyes looked into my emerald ones. "How old are you, Erik mo grá?"

"One hundred seventy. You, Kier?" He whispered back.

"One hundred seventy-one. Funny that we're so close in age, and I knew your brother for so long, and yet we've never met, hmm?" I said, leaning over and kissing his mark. He shivered.

"Yeah." He rasped out, his voice heavy with desire, then his eyes dropped to the floor as he sighed. I stroked his veiny bicep in an attempt to keep myself calm. We were both still in rut, after all.

"What is it?" I asked, and he pointed down to his proudly erect manhood. I giggled, and it twitched, precum dripping and sliding down to his balls. Fun. They still looked awfully heavy given the amount of c*m he'd pumped into both me and our mate already. I licked my lips t the thought, struggling to keep my lust in check.

"I feel like I'm... I don't know... Is this going to stop?" He moaned as I reached down to stroke him.

"Yeah babe, but you're in rut. You can't help it. Shoulda seen Anais a few days ago. Ri'dubh was able to push her through most of her heat so it wasn't so bad. How about this, let me check our litter, hmm?" I asked and he nodded, waiting. I went to where Anais laid on the bed and touched her belly.

Finally! Ri'dubh exclaimed. Five pups and three cubs, Kieran. Ana is going to be so thrilled!

Can we help him, Ri'dubh? Like we helped Anais? I hadn't known I could help her, never heard of such a thing, so I was hoping I could for my other mates as well.

Yeah, but I'm not sure you can convince that Kodiak to let you mount him with both of them fronting. They have to allow it together. Erik will, but Therus is a wild card. He has to let me dominate him in ways most alphas aren't too fond of. This isn't just mating. It's asserting that we are indeed, in charge in this mateship. He paused. Which, we are, in case you had any doubts, he huffed.

Okay, Ri, I will give it a try, and no, I did not wonder, not one bit. They don't even realize that they defer to me without thinking. It's cute.

"So, Erik." I caught his attention. Him pacing with his c**k at full mast and precum stringing down it was really difficult to ignore, I'm just saying. f**k. He looked at me, running a hand through his hair. s**t, he was sexy. "My wolf says he can force your rut to taper off, but..."

"But what? I just want to feel like I'm not a freaking horse at stud." He grumbled irritably. Oh, but would he ever be the prize stud if he was one. He was just that yummy and virile. I think he actually did better on his first performance than I did, but I wasn't about to hold it against him. He was way too cute for a grudge.

"Therus would need to let Ri'dubh dominate him, with both of us partially shifted. Like both fronting. Think he can let me have control?" I asked. Being direct was the best. Erik's eyes turned black as Therus came forward with a purr. s**t, I was hard again.

"How many babies are we having?" He growled out, as pleasantly as a husky growl can sound. He sounded quite pleased knowing he'd successfully impregnated our mate. I understood it though, as primal creatures, ensuring our future was extremely important.

"Five pups and three cubs." I announced proudly. Therus grinned ferally with glee.

"Of course you may have control, my alpha king. Just let me have a turn sometimes, hmm?" He flirted. Well. Ri'dubh came forward as they circled each other, canines and claws slightly out, his black to my gold eyes. Their little ritual of animal dominance lasted for a few minutes before I'd had enough, and pointed towards the bathroom.

"Let's take this to the shower so Anais can rest, hmm?" I took his hand and led the hulking man to our massive en suite.

I turned on the water and pulled him under the set of eight shower heads. There was room for us and Anais when she wanted it. Probably one or two more bodies should there be additional mates out there. I turned to him, and pulled him in for an aggressive kiss that he returned, our beasts savoring the moment along with Erik and myself.

I bit his lip, making it bleed, and he did the same, our animalistic posturing only fueling our mutual desire and the s****l tension as we licked each other's blood, savoring the taste.

"Let me wash you, my alpha king," they rasped out in unison, the husky quality overlaying Erik's much smoother voice. I placed a kiss on their massive chest. We were both incredibly fit, but Erik was much bigger, honestly statue-worthy. Though large, everything about him was graceful and he moved with surprising agility. As he reached for the soap and washcloth, I stopped him.

"After we fix your rut, mo grá." I kneeled before him, taking him into my mouth and working him fast and deep until he moaned and coated my throat and mouth with his seed. Wiping my mouth and scooping his c*m into my palm, I stood and grinned at him. "Delicious, babe. Now, face the wall and spread for me." He shivered at my demanding tone as I ran my other hand over his bum before spreading his ejaculate over his tight rosette. He was still relaxed and stretched properly from earlier, so it didn't take much before he was sucking my three fingers (claws fully retracted) into his ass easily. His moans and growls had me hard as a rock. "Ready, babe?" I asked and they nodded. My canines fully extended and bit his neck hard as I slammed my arousal into his entrance, pounding relentlessly and working his c**k with my hand until I felt him climax again, and I knotted. We both shuddered as we waited for my knot to retreat, and I stroked his back tenderly.

It may not make sense, but I loved this man so much already. Nearly as much as I loved Ana, though I think everyone can understand that she's our center, what makes us special, and my love for her was just on a different level. Erik knew it too, and accepted it. This was something I'd felt from the bond. We all loved each other together, individually or all at once, in any combination. Complex, yes, but we were all in. I would do my best to make sure neither of them felt more important, even if Erik knew the score. How much they mattered was exactly the same.

Finally, my knot released, and I stepped away, turning him to face me as I embraced him to reassure him. Dominating can be... emasculating. Again, it's not just a s****l act. It's a form of subjugation. Even if he and his bear were fine with it, I wanted to make sure he knew I still considered him my equal.

Our eyes back to normal, he washed me first before I washed him. It was tender and intimate. Sensual but not s****l.

"Can I ask you something?" Erik said shyly.

"You can always ask me anything." I told him, stroking his cheek with my knuckle.

"What kinds of... changes were you and Anais talking about?"

"Does something feel different, Erik?" I asked, curious.

"Yeah... I feel stronger, and suddenly I can grasp... elements?" He gasped. I focused around me and realized I could also feel elements in a way I never had before. Like I could actually use them at will. As if they wanted me to use them.

"Ah yeah, Anais and I haven't had much of a chance to go over all the abilities she has, but it definitely sounds like she shared some with you." I said as we walked back to the bed together, his arm around my shoulders. "Let's try this. You stand at the foot of the bed, I'll stand by the door." We took our places. "Now think yourself in front of me." He instantly teleported, shocked. "Okay, my turn." And I teleported to where he'd been. "Cool, we got that one. I'd bet we also got telekinesis, immunity to a s**t ton of stuff, and stealthing. The thing is, since Anais just shifted a couple of days ago, we don't know yet what all she can do." He nodded.

"We should cuddle her." He said, longing in his eyes and voice as he looked over at the bed.

"Yeah, for sure. I'll set an alarm for twelve so we can hit up the dining hall for lunch and announce you as our mate. Are you feeling better?" I asked.

"So much better, I'm not popping a b***r on repeat. Jeez!" He exclaimed. "Don't get me wrong, I already love both of you like nothing else, but there is such a thing as too much sex." He looked disgusted with himself. "Holy s**t, never thought I would ever say that." He laughed.

"I don't know realistically how often she is going to have heats. Usually with Immortals it's once a year, but Ri'dubh said Anais can get pregnant any time, which is not the norm, so... guess we will just have to see. Since she's our mate, for sure we'll go into rut at the same time." I sighed. Erik rubbed my arm.

"Well, there are two of us now, so we can take turns, hmm?" He giggled. Ah, s**t. I turned so he couldn't see my own situation down below. Ri'dubh giggled.

Can't do much about your own rut, hmm? He teased.

Goddess you're annoying, I griped at him.

I'd totally let Therus dominate us if I thought it would help, but it's pretty clear the goddess hasn't taught him that, so far.

I rolled my eyes and slipped into the bed on the right side again, facing Anais. Erik slid into the left, spooning her from behind.

We fell into an exhausted, if blissful, sleep.
