“And I need all of you. I truly do.” I know Mika is trying to make a point.

  “Then it’s settled. We will continue the mating ritual. First with two of us then with all five,” Donte says, bemused by the conversation Mika and I are having.

  I suspect Donte doesn’t know what took place between Mika and I on our date. I’m glad Mika kept my momentary lapse in sanity to himself. I would have hated for the others to know about my impulsive mistake. This is the second time one of my mates has kept me from running from my fate.

  After our meal, my mates each kiss me on the cheek and bid me goodnight. Donte and Uri tell me they’ll see me soon in my chambers. I retire to my rooms and prepare myself for their arrival. I dress in a long flowing, silk night slip and a pair of silk sandals. I pour myself a cup of spiced merrow wine as I wait for them by the window. I am looking out onto the sea when they arrive. The waves crash against the shore as the winter tide moves in.

  “You've here,” I say breathlessly, turning to them.

  Chapter 32

  Uri stands in the doorway, his arms crossed and his face dark. Donte crosses to me and gathers me in his arms, holding me protectively in a gentle embrace. I let out a long sigh of contentment at his touch and motion for Uri to join us. He slowly moves to me, his dark eyes burning. He places his lips to the back of my neck as Donte holds me in his affectionate embrace.

  I thought I would feel constricted by the two of them. But now that I stand with one in front and the other behind, I feel protected, liberated, whole.

  For a moment, I miss the other three and wish they were here. I don’t want to ever forget them again. But I can’t dwell on it for long. I have my wise Donte and headstrong Uri to focus on now.

  Donte kisses my lips with a forceful but restrained passion. He cups my face in his hands and then looks into my eyes.

  Uri runs his hands over my ass, squeezing the globes and pinching into a pain that is exquisitely pleasurable. He begins to pull the slip up to my waist and slides it over my head. I'm left naked between them.

  “You’re so beautiful,” Donte whispers into my ear.

  “Exquisite,” Uri agrees.

  Donte cups my breasts in both of his hands, enfolding them softly until he tweaks my nipples into hard peaks. I feel Uri behind me, his flesh against my naked flesh. Donte follows Uri's lead and deconstructs his own clothing.

  Donte kneels before me as Uri cups my chin and kisses my neck. Resting my back against Uri, I lift my leg. Dante places my foot on his shoulder and sinks his tongue into my pussy. He licks up and down with his big hard tongue, sucking each of my pleasure buttons on the rim of my entrance. I gasp and Uri pulls my head back into a deep, passionate kiss. His tongue thrusts in and out of my mouth as Donte's dives into my channel. I climax, shaking and throbbing uncontrollably.

  They guide me to the bed and I sit at the edge, facing both of them as they stand above me. Their cocks are hard and throbbing. Uri's red skin contrasts with Donte's gray. I lean forward and lick up the shaft of each of their cocks, one after the other, tasting them and comparing the flavor, like gow cream cones. Uri threads his fingers through my hair, pulling my mouth down over his throbbing red cock.

  He always liked my mouth on him, from the very beginning. I suck ravenously, trying to fit his massive size in my mouth. I grasp Donte's shaft with my free hand and begin to stroke.

  Wanting to taste Donte too, I come up for air and suck him into my mouth. I bob up and down on his thick juicy shaft. He's thicker than Uri but not as long. He tastes of stone and granite while Uri tastes like smoke.

  I groan and fall back on the bed, my pussy throbbing and hungry. The Uri kneels between my legs as Donte climbs onto the bed beside me.

  Uri pushes my knees back as he licks me all the way down to my back entrance. I am surprised as he licks my tight hole, wetting and exciting the little bud. Donte brings his cock to my mouth and I suck the tip as Uri licks my clitoral ring into a mind-altering orgasm.

  My pussy throbs on his mouth before he turns me over. I come up on top of Dante, so wet and overcome by desire, I can't grasp what is happening. I'm just a body, experiencing sensation. My mind is gone and I am glad to be rid of it. I don’t even care if I make mistakes.

  Donte rubs my wetness on his cock as Uri continues to lick. He places his thumb against my little hole and begins to press inside me. I'm surprised at the intrusion and gasp into Donte's kiss. But his finger sinks deeper into my ass.

  He replaces this finger with the tip of his phallus. Donte pulls me up and slides me down over him, filling my pussy completely. I groan into his kiss as Uri pats my back and rubs me with his tip. Donte begins to thrust into me. I climax, my moisture gushing around his thick rod.

  Uri slides his dick into my asshole and I groan, breaking away from my kiss with Donte. The sensation is too much. It will blow my mind to pieces. I look back at Uri and his eyes are blazing with hunger.

  “I'm going to show you the way, my Queen,” he says.

  I bite my lip and my eyes roll back in my head. I know I need to be open to this before they all come to me. I brace myself to take the exquisite torture of his cock in my ass. He slides deeper, opening my forbidden channel with his massive rod.

  Donte hold still while Uri enters my secret place. I'm groaning and moaning and mindless as they begin to rock into me, moving in and out and opposing rhythms. I cannot distinguish one orgasm from the next as they penetrate and take every last inch of me.

  In a blinding flash of light and desire we all come together in a flood, so juicy and bright, it awakens my soul. I let out a long, grinding moan that emanates from the throat of my inner dragon. She nearly bursts from within me at the ecstasy, but I contain myself. My mates slowly emerge from within me and they hold me between them, caressing me and stroking me gently. I look into their eyes, running the back of my hand over their cheeks. I’m relieved I didn’t lose control this time. Not like with Mika. He must be wrong about me.

  “My loves,” I whisper.

  They kiss my cheeks and nuzzle into my neck.

  “It is an honor to explore your body, to fulfill you, My Queen,” Uri says.

  “You are a goddess,” Donte says.

  I kiss them and thank them for their love and for the pleasure they give me. We fall fast asleep together in my bed.

  Chapter 33

  Relaxing on one of the fluffy white couches in my favorite sitting room, I gaze out at the ocean. I have taken a break from the lab to spend time with my mates. But my mind is still fixed on the syringe I keep hidden in my room.

  I never told my mates about my discovery, and I don't know how to tell them now. They will try to stop me if they know what I mean to do with it. I like them taking charge of some things, but not everything. Mika said they all want to take care of me, but this just isn’t their decision.

  I sip a cup of black tea as the blinding white snow falls outside the window. I stand and cross the room to gaze at the Sea of Light.

  White snow falls on white sandy beaches, and the waters of the sea wash it away. Fresh snow accumulates on the railing of my patio. I open the door and step outside, sticking out my tongue to catch a flake. I bring it into my mouth and close my eyes. Winter is my favorite time of year. I drop out of my clothing and stand naked in the cold, my blue skin sucking in the chill.

  My dragon knows what is coming next and calls out for it. Like she did for Mika the other night. My mates will claim me soon. There will be no turning back for me then. They will be my husbands and will try to control my choices. I leap into the air, shifting into my ice blue dragon form. My sleek, crystalline body rises above the palace.

  I let out a long breath of icy air. It flows out before me into the sky. Twisting on my wings I dart for the ocean and dive over the waves. I love the feeling of the snow melting on my wings as I hold myself aloft on the ocean breeze. This is freedom.

  I fly over the writhing sea for a long time. Finally, I decide I’ve been gone long
enough. Pumping my wings, I rise into the sky and turn back to my palace. I land on the patio and slip into my clothing. When I walk through the door I find my mates gathered around a massive bullkin on a leash in Uri’s hand. I clap excitedly as I prance across the room to the giant puffkin.

  “I had Maxxus brought over from my place on Draxos Prime,” Uri says.

  “You said he would eat Gigi alive.”

  “I might have exaggerated. Maxxus is a well-trained military puffkin.”

  “I'm going to get Gigi and they can play in the backyard!”

  A moment later I have Gigi in my arms and we take the puffkins outside. I set my ball of fluff down on the ground she bounces and barks with excitement at Maxxus. Uri lets Maxxus off his leash and throws a ball across the yard. Maxxus chases the ball. Gigi, who is far smaller, tries to catch him. Maxxus meets her on the way back across the yard. The two puffkin meet in the middle of the field and my heart seizes with fear. I gasp, but they sniff each other happily. Maxxus drops the ball and lets Gigi carry it the rest of the way back to me and my mates.

  Gigi drops the ball at my feet. I pick it up and throw it again. We all play fetch with the puffkins for quite some time before I decide little Gigi needs to go back inside. I give her to Quintin for a nice warm bath and retire with my mates in the sitting room.

  Maxxus sleeps beside the fireplace as Uri pokes the coals. Donte sits stoically in a chair beside me. Flume disappears into the shadows in the corner. Mika is light and glowing with the sunlight sparkling in his golden hair. Reese gazes out at the ocean, a wistful look in his eyes.

  I regard my mates with affection and tenderness, but I know it is time to commit to the claiming. It is time to give myself to them. This is my choice.

  “My darlings,” I say. “It is time to complete the mating ritual. Tonight, we will gather in my chambers and I will accept your claiming bites. We will all be mated and our thralls will come to an end.” I need this to be over as much as any of them. I need to move forward with my mates and find a new center.

  “Are you sure you're ready, Joon?” Donte asks me.

  “I am ready to be claimed by my mates. It is time for us to start our family and to think about our future.”

  Chapter 34

  Donte rises from his chair, his massive from crossing the room at a slow and steady pace. He stands before me and takes my hand, concern present in the crease between his eyes.

  “Are you sure?” he says.

  All I can do is shake my head in agreement. My mates approach me quietly and slowly rub my back and shoulders.

  “We don’t want you to pressure you,” Mika says.

  “I know you don’t,” I whisper. “But these feelings…they’re tearing me apart.”

  Donte hugs me close and my other four mates take turns giving me a warm embrace. I step back and let out a long sigh, looking each of them in the face.

  “Let's go,” I say, turning to the door.

  The six of us take the antigrav lift to my bedroom. The doors are open to the air and the curtains flutter in the breeze. Snowflakes float into my room and melt on the marble floor. Not wasting any time, I slide my finger over my wrist com and deactivate my nanotech clothing.

  Walking slowly across the room, I climb onto my bed.

  “Come,” I say, motioning for them to join me.

  They watch me with cool eyes, each of them deactivating their clothing on their way from the door. They stand above me, blinking and unsure of what to do.

  “Don’t worry,” I whisper. “I’m ready for this. You can let go.”

  I run my hand over Uri's chest and he climbs onto the bed beside me, gathering me into his arms for a deep and passionate kiss. I sit on his lap as he caresses my shoulders and thighs.

  My other mates follow us onto the bed, touching me, running her fingers through my hair and up my legs and over my face. Uri holds me and kisses me deeply before Donte pulls me back and claims my mouth.

  I feel them all around me. Their cocks huge and their eyes burning with lust. This is why we’ve waited so long.

  “None of us can hold back anymore,” Flume growls.

  I reach out and grasp Flume’s slick cock and began to rub it up and down in my fist. I moan into Donte's mouth as my mates pull me up off of Uri's lap. I kneel on the bed, kissing them each and stroking their cocks in both my hands.

  “I need you,” I whimper between kisses, hands pressing my clit.

  My lust tightens painfully between my legs and I feel the desire that Uri awakened in me last night. Ten hands rove my body, rubbing every inch of my flesh. They move slowly, not rushing the claiming.

  We must all climax together as they bite me and transfer their saliva directly into my bloodstream. For us all to be bonded forever, our sexual peak must come at once.

  “That’s right,” Donte encourages as I grow ever more excited.

  Uri slides his finger between my legs and begins to stroke me with the slick juices flowing from my core. I feel his hot cock in the cleft of my ass. I lean against it as he rubs between my legs.

  “There you go,” Uri whispers. “You can let go now too, Joon. We know you want to.”

  Mika squeezes my breasts, and I can't get enough of their cocks in my hands. I move from one to the next, thrusting up and down with abandon. My juices flow down my legs as my mates kiss me all over my body on my breasts, my mouth, my stomach.

  They lay me on the bed and began to lick, holding my limbs. I’m mindless, taking the sensation as I gaze at the ceiling and into the lust filled eyes of my five gorgeous males.

  “Such a good girl,” Flume whispers, as he licks my clitoral ring and fists his cock.

  Tongues laps up every inch of me. One slides over my ass hole and teases me open. I become a fluid creature, devoid of all mind. I am a wild, raging ball of desire. My body yearns to be filled by my mates. I don’t want control. If I ever had it, it’s gone. Five tongues vie for a place on my pussy. They suck and lick and thrust like animals.

  I climax, my core throbbing and clenching, begging to be filled. I open my eyes to Mika kneeling beside my head. I lean up and suck his golden dick into my mouth. He gasps and cups the back of my head as I bob up and down on him. Both of us are now free to seek fulfillment.

  I groan and saliva flows over his rod. The guys are becoming impatient and hungry for more of me. We need to scratch the itch that is growing more intense with each passing second. They turn me over on all fours and I continue to suck Mika’s golden shaft. He tastes like sunshine and I can’t get enough of him.

  Hands explore over my thighs. Fingers press inside me, opening me up. Gasping, I let go of Mika and glance behind to see Flume pushing into my pussy. His dexterous hands slide over my body and flick my clitoral ring. I climax madly, sucking Mika back into my mouth.

  Mika and Flume thrust into me as we move back and forth in unison. My three other mates rub their dicks on my body. I let go of Mika and take Uri’s cock into my mouth, hungry to taste each of them. I love the fiery flavor of his flesh. It feels like smoke comes out of my nostrils when I suck him.

  I groan at Uri’s heat as Flume pounds into me from behind, his hands digging into my hips as he thrusts deep and hard, making me climax like a jackhammer.

  “Come for me, Joon,” Flume demands, my body throbbing and clutching his cock as he pushes his erotic venom into me.

  Donte pulls me away from all of them and sits me on his lap. I straddle him as he eases me down over his thick member. He kisses my neck and I grab Mika’s dick in my hand, pumping up and down vigorously as Donte slides into my pussy. I can feel Reese pressing his slick, wet cock against my back hole. Flume stands on the bed, stroking his shaft. Everyone is beyond mind. We are wild bodies in thralled abandon. We can’t stop this.

  I suck Flume into my mouth, tasting my juices on his length. His venom makes my nipples peak like exploding rockets. I rub my clit against Donte’s pelvis and Reese’s wet member begins to push inside my ass. I let go of Flum
e and groan as Reese sinks inside me.

  Reese and Donte move in and out of me in opposing rhythms and I take Flume back in my mouth. All I feel is lust and pleasure. While Flume swears and fists my hair, Mika and Uri thrust into my hands. We are all lost in a lust filled daze. Then they all begin to piston in unison.

  A mind shattering orgasm grows inside me, rooted in every pleasure point in my body. My pussy grips Donte, throbbing on his cock. Donte erupts inside me and Reese comes in my ass. I squeeze Mika and Uri, sucking hard on Flume. They all climax.

  Semen pumps into every hole and sprays over my body. I can barely breathe. I cannot think. I am a bundle of nerves, emotion and sensation.

  In that instant, all five of them bite. Light envelopes me as I drift weightless in silent space. Their bites hold me still in their strong jaws.

  My mates’ dragons emerge inside of me. I float on a cloud of infinite connection with them, in between states of consciousness. The special venom of their mating bites sinks into my blood. I now forever belong to them.

  It is only when they retract their sharp teeth that I can think or breathe. They withdraw swiftly and within seconds, I'm lying on my back on the bed, breathless and wet.

  They collapse beside me, and we all lie, staring at the ceiling. Our chests heave as the new connection between us all expands and evolves. They lean up and kiss me, offering me words of praise and love. I reach out to accept their hearts. From now until the day I die, my life is with these beautiful dragons.

  Chapter 35

  I sleep deeply with my mates, under the heady rush of fulfillment. I feel their dragons inside me and we frolic together in dream time. We are bonded at the most primal level, like one being, with one heart.

  When I wake the next morning, I am awash with feelings. I kiss each of my mates on the lips as they lie groggily in bed. I rise from my bed, shower, and dress in a long flowing white gown with a silky long robe to match.
