With a growl, he took her mouth in a brutal kiss as he began to thrust into her. He sank into her over and over again, ruthlessly controlling her pleasure. Her pussy felt tight and hot wrapped around his cock, but her slickness allowed him to thrust inside her harder and faster. He could feel the tension building inside of her, felt her nails biting into his back.

He continued to pound himself into her, racing to join her as she once again fell over the edge. She let out a breathless cry as she came again, and he felt her pussy clamp down around his cock. Her pulsing muscles milked his shaft, pushing him toward his own release. He let out a roar as he exploded inside her, filling her with pulse after pulse of his hot seed.

As the pleasure surged through his body, he buried his face against the side of her neck and bit down. She cried out again as another wave of ecstasy tore through her, then her entire body shuddered beneath him. He remained where he was until she relaxed again. Then, he shifted his body off of her so he wouldn’t crush her, and rested his head against her chest so he could listen to her frantic heartbeat. He let out a soft purring sound when she gently stroked her hand over his head.

They lay there in blissful silence for long minutes. When his wrist unit buzzed, he glanced at it and sighed.

“Charm is calling us back.”

“Do we have to?” she asked lazily. “Can’t we just live here from now on?”

“She said we need to get back.” He sighed again. “We should go, or they might send someone to get us.”

It took a while to get dressed since they continued to talk and steal kisses as they did.

Juliet wished she could extend her private time with Raek, but she reminded herself that they could always spend another day together whenever they wanted now that they were officially together.

They held hands as they strolled back to the transport center, then they took a transporter directly back to the sanctuary. When they arrived on the transport pad located right outside the front entrance of the sanctuary, it was clear to see there was an unusual flurry of activity going on.

“Something happened,” Raek murmured.

Keeping hold of her hand, he began to make his way toward the castle. They had only taken a few steps when the whispers and pointing started.

“What is it?” Juliet asked, feeling a little panicked. “Why are they looking at us like that?”

“It’s not him they are looking at,” Fenris corrected as he walked over to join them. “It’s you.”

She should have been nervous from all of the attention, but she felt a sense of security being bracketed by her two males that pushed her fear aside. She knew no one would be getting close to her with them around.

“Me? What did I do?”

“We just got word. The Council of Regents made their decision, and the Alliance is officially ending forced bonding.”

“That’s wonderful news!” She beamed a smile at them, but it quickly faded. “Oh, no. Does that mean everyone here knows that I…”

Fenris nodded. “The council credited you for sparking the change in regulations.”

She groaned. “Some people are going to be really pissed about this decision, and they are going to blame me.”

Raek chuckled. “Don’t worry. If anyone shows up here to bother you or protest, I’m sure the magical wards will boot them off the property. And if the wards don’t, Fenris and I will deal with them.”

“That’s good enough for me,” she said honestly.

She wouldn’t let fear hold her prisoner any longer. Besides, she didn’t do anything wrong. With that in mind, she took both of her mates’ hands and gave them a little squeeze.

“Come on, mates. I want to move my stuff into your residence now.”

Raek raised a brow. “Whose residence?”

“Ours,” she corrected with a grin. “It’s our home now.”

Epilogue

“I don’t knowwhat you are so worried about,” Charm Barra said with a laugh. “You already know they are going to love it.”

“I hope so,” Juliet murmured from where she was peeking at her guys from around the side of the closed curtain.

They were in the large theater where Ayla usually performed, but the D’Aire singer had been kind enough to let Juliet and her crew borrow the space for the afternoon. Raek and Fenris were seated in the front row of the audience, along with several of their friends. Seeing them sitting there filled Juliet with a familiar mix of fear, anticipation, and excitement. She hadn’t felt that in a long time, and it made her realize just how much she’d missed it.
