Page 70 of Light Fae's Love
“Another way?” He stares hard at me. “Please fill us in, because I’m all ears just now.”
“Revelry.” I say to him, knowing that one word says it all.
And I see something magnificent light in Quinn’s eyes.
“Revelry.” His voice is soft, as my entire idea makes sense to him—and far more. All at once, Quinn’s agile mind is spinning down dozens of plans for the idea I came up with.
All of them potentially effective in replacing the power we’ve lost.
“Ariana, you’re a genius!” Quinn pushes away from the door as he whirls in thought. He squeezes my waist and kisses Lucca’s cheek, moving to a side-bar in our room to get out three crystal glasses and pour us all a stiff measure of whiskey.
Beyond the tall windows of the villa, dawn is rising. It’s still twenty minutes or so away, but the horizon has become lighter, the stars disappearing from the cerulean sky. I feel Quinn’s energy strengthen now as he gazes out those tall windows and sips his whiskey.
Reveling in both.
“A Dark Fae’s power is revelry, in addition to devouring,” Lucca says now. He takes a whiskey and sips it also, standing next to Quinn and gazing out the window with him. “Reveling in the dawn has always made me feel stronger. We know you have that magic now, Quinn, and Ariana does, too. Maybe we can use that to refill your Night.”
“It needs to be something far more than reveling in the beauty of a sunrise, Lucca.” Quinn gives a small chuckle, then smiles for the first time all day.
My energy soars to see it.
“There she is…” Quinn feels what just happened, his dark gaze snapping to me. His onyx eyes burn with his Summer Fae fire as he feels what I’m feeling.
Joy, that one of our trio was happy.
“That’s the key.” Quinn’s voice is quiet as we share the same thought. “Joy. Between us all.”
“It’s not just any revelry that makes us strong.” I come to him, placing my hand in his as I take up a glass of whiskey and we clink in a toast. “It’s seeing and feeling each other so happy that refills us.”
“A Dark Fae revels in life, and is also master over death,” Quinn says, taking the whiskey glass from my fingers before I can taste it. He’s stepped in close, slipping his hands up around me and nuzzling my neck as his heart pounds in his chest. “You are right, Ariana. Always, the nature of our trio’s magic has been a thing of lust and eros, of passion and pleasure rather than a thing of terror or dominance. I was an idiot to think Lucca forcing his magic inside you was the right approach. Now that I know we are all Dark Fae… I know that encouraging our magics to dwell inside each other, and increase from our happiness as a trio, is a better idea. To refill what we have lost, for all of us.”
“Encouraging?” I look up at Quinn, not understanding what he’s getting at, though it sounds like the right approach.
“Fucking.” The tiniest smile haunts Lucca’s lips as he comes to us. As he wraps an arm around me and Quinn, his blue eyes darken with heat. “He means fucking, Ariana. All three of us, right now.”
“A threesome. Right now. To increase our power.” My eyebrows lift as I give a long, slow blink.
“For we are all Dark Fae,” Quinn says, nodding at us. “Fae revel to increase their power. If we were to revel in a thing we have all wanted so very badly, but which has been interrupted, we might increase our power. And our bond—to the point that Lucca allowing you to hold his Light would be a thing of glory rather than pain. It could be done, and perhaps even from a distance.”
I stand amazed as Quinn’s plan sinks in.
Before the deepest, brightest star lights within me.
“I’m in. I am so, so in.” Everything inside me beams with joy. As a sudden sensation like a corona-flare from the sun blazes deep inside me, it reaches Quinn and Lucca through our bond. But as that massive light and heat rolls us, it’s also dark with passion at everything I’m looking forward to. I see it hit Lucca and Quinn like a love-bomb.
Tremendous in its power, as it rocks them where they stand.
“Gods, that sensation…!” Lucca inhales as his grip tightens on me and Quinn. “What did you just do, Ariana? That makes everything feel so… good?”
“I don’t know.” It’s as if that blaze has softened everything inside me. I feel delicious now as I melt into my men’s arms and they grip close around me.
Heat rising between us all, with the promise of what’s to come.
“Come,” Quinn says, his decadent voice in my ear as I feel his heart pound. “Let us explore this. For I am not showing up before the Council empty-handed tomorrow night. We will do this… until we’ve tried everything we can to make our Summons before them a success.”
I couldn’t agree more, as everything grips deep inside me. Then Quinn kisses my neck and I forget dire things.
To focus on pleasure instead.
