Brianne stood at the entrance to the enclosed patio with her sister at her side. “Are you ready, sestra?” Raquel asked. “We can take off now before they catch sight of you.”

Brianne laughed at her sister’s offer. She knew Raquel didn’t mean it but understood in many ways her sister was losing her. They’d always have each other, but Brianne wouldn’t be at Brushy Keep like before.

“I’m positive. This is where I’m meant to be, with my mates,” she answered truthfully.

“I know, but I’m going to miss you,” Raquel confessed as her eyes filled with tears.

“No llores. You can be here with us when we aren’t at the Keep,” Brianne told her.

Raquel nodded and grabbed Brianne’s hand. “Let’s go. They’re all outside waiting.”

Brianne followed her sister and felt the tingle of magic when they passed over the image of the Triskele amulet in the tile floor. Cade explained that they usually held mating ceremonies on the patio, but with her kind’s binding ceremony they had to move it outside. She was touched that every warrior had a hand in recreating the amulet in the ground not far from the house.

The sight of Cade and Cael standing together in their pristine, black tuxedos took her breath away. They’d chosen formal wear at her urging. She saw them in leathers and jeans all the time, and she wanted their special day to be filled with lace, silk and fancy clothes. Every male present was dressed to the nines, but Gods, her males were the sexiest.

She hoped they liked the backless, white, silk dress she’d chosen. It displayed her wings, which were flecked with glitter, compliments of Izzy. The front of the dress had a deep V-neck that had a half-inch trail of diamonds lining the edges. Her boobs were taped and pushed out to enhance her ample cleavage. Raquel wanted her to go with a dress that was covered in lace and beads, but Brianne went with a floor-length silk number that was form-fitted to her curves. The diamonds were more than enough flash for her taste.

Zander stepped up next to Cade and Cael who were near the stone image of the Triskele Amulet. She smiled at the sight of Zander in a skirt. It was difficult not to laugh, but Brianne couldn’t deny the Vampire King rocked a kilt. If she weren’t so in love with her mates, she would be more than attracted to the mighty king.

Cade and Cael each took one of her hands when she reached their side. Their love and devotion reached her through their bond and calmed her nerves.

“Friends and family, please form a circle around the couple,” Zander instructed.

Izzy skipped over and joined her father. Brianne was told the little girl was the embodiment of the Triskele Amulet, and for the first time, Brianne felt the enormity of the child’s power as it filled the clearing. She noted the Rowan sisters and their mates were off to the side, chanting a spell while Evzen, Jace, and Gerrick did the same. The shield above flashed white as they reinforced their protections. Nate was off to the side in dragon form, guarding the group.

Brianne knew none of them were taking any risks with the princess. She was at risk every time she stepped outside and everyone present took the fact that Izzy was displaying her power seriously. They’d suppressed her presence since birth, but now, nowhere on Earth was safe for the child, and Elsie was struggling with how to protect her precious daughter.

“We have gathered here in this beautiful place, under the eye of the Sun and the glow of the Moon. Let the circle be blessed and consecrated with Fire and Water,” Zander recited.

Bhric and Breslin stepped forward, and with a flourish, fire shot forth from Breslin’s outstretched palm to flow around the outskirts of the circle. Flames rose from the earth to the heavens, like shooting stars. Bhric raised his hands and water cascaded down in a sheer waterfall, from the sky back to the ground, extinguishing the fire. The sight had joy and awe spreading from Brianne to her mates. This spectacular display was all for them.

Zander squeezed his daughter’s hand. “We call to the Goddess Morrigan, and invoke her to bless this mating.” Zander released Izzy and gave her a stone. Izzy grabbed Brianne’s hand from Cael and placed the stone into her right palm.

Brianne gasped as electrical pulses crawled up her arm. Cael positioned his hand over hers and Cade inserted his hand underneath theirs. Intense power filled her when Izzy put her tiny hand over Cael’s.

“We call upon the spirits of the East, of Air, Spring, and new beginnings. We call upon the spirits of the South, and the inner Fire of the Sun, Summer, and personal will. We call upon the spirits of the West, of Water, Autumn, and healing and dreaming. We call upon the spirits of the North, of Earth, Winter, and the time of cleansing and renewal. Join us to bless this couple with your guidance and inspiration,” Zander chanted.

Magic cocooned the three of them and emotion choked Brianne while she watched Izzy smile up at them. Izzy lifted her hand and went back to her dad’s side. Their hands remained clasped together around the stone. Cade brought his left hand over her heart, and Cael put his right hand under his brother’s.

Raquel stepped forward and poured a potion into Brianne’s palm. It was created by the Rowan triplets, specifically for Brianne’s ceremony.

Her palm landed Cade’s chest first and when she moved her palm to Cael’s chest, her arm magically duplicated, allowing her to touch both males at the same time. Her hand couldn’t be in two places at once, so the triplets created a potion to maintain the connection.

Brianne didn’t know what to expect and found it eerie to see two arms coming out of her body. She could even feel both her males’ heartbeats beneath her hands.

“I bless this mating under the Sun and the Moon. This circle of love and honour is open and never broken, so may it be,” Zander’s voice resonated with his blessing and distracted her from her thoughts.

Heat built in the stone as Brianne felt her soul leave her body, followed by two others that she wasn’t aware she harbored. The three entities entered the stone, and a brilliant light flashed between their fingers, making her skin tingle with magic. The connection she felt to Cade and Cael strengthened, and a thick, golden ribbon connecting their hearts flashed in her mind. Her soul suddenly surged back into her body, making her stumble from the force. Both her mates were there to keep her steady even though she noticed they were as deeply affected.

Her newly-reformed soul was no longer separate from Cade and Cael’s. Now, they were so intricately entwined, there was no way to distinguish where one began, and the others ended. Instantly, Brianne became aware of Cade and Cael’s every thought and emotion.

Without warning, she heard a female voice enter her mind. She recognized it as similar power emanating from Izzy and knew it was the Goddess’ voice whispering in her head. “No power, not even death, can sever this bond. Mating stones protect and bless different aspects for different couples. Yours blesses and protects your connection as three.”

Curious, Brianne raised one of her fingers and nearly fist-pumped the air at the treasure she found. The simple, granite rock was now the biggest, most dazzling, blue topaz she’d ever seen, matching her vampires’ eyes.

“Now for Brianne to offer her mating bond to Cade and Cael,” Raquel said as she stepped forward. “Please widen the inner circle and give the trio space to perform the Harpy ritual.”

As their friends and family fanned out, Brianne spread her wings wide, handing the topaz to Cade who stuffed it in his pocket. Usually, harpies mated with one male and Brianne worried this wouldn’t work, but Aurora assured her it was possible.

Brianne released her breath, calling to the winds her kind controlled and latched onto one of Cade’s hands then Cael’s. She flapped her wings with all her might, stirring the leaves beneath them, and brought forth the winds to lift the three of them into the air. Cade and Cael’s trusting gaze never wavered as they rose above the earth.

Hovering fifteen feet above the ground, Brianne called more winds to support their position then wrapped her wings around both mates, bringing them close to her sides. Cade’s arm wrapped around her waist and Cael did the same on her other side.

“I give my breath to you both to cherish and hold for eternity,” Brianne promised. “From this moment on, you are my chosen mates.”

Once her vow was complete, Brianne lowered her head to Cade and kissed his lips then moved her mouth to the side of his neck and let out her primal breath, marking him as hers. Cade’s back arched and his cock went rigid along her hip while she repeated the process with Cael.

“I will love you beyond this life, and into the next,” Brianne professed as the wind carried them back to the ground.

“How sweet it is to be loved by you,” Cade crooned, as his fingers danced over the side of her neck. His deep baritone vibrated through her body, causing a shudder to run down her spine. Gods, what that male did when he sang to her.

“I’m going to love you like never before, mates,” she vowed and sent them both a mental image of her intentions. Resounding groans made her core clench with painful need.

“I’m curious, love, what did you mark us with?” Cael asked.

Brianne smiled as she cocooned them in her wings when their feet landed on the ground. “My wings. It’s what most harpies choose so we can make love in the sky.”

Cade and Cael shared a heated look as she unfolded her wings, and their friends descended on them.

Cael was still shocked that he and his brother were mated to Brianne. All that remained was the blood exchange then the mating would be complete. His brand continued its torture because they hadn’t taken that final step. It didn’t help that he kept recalling the moment their joined souls reentered his body. That brief second was near orgasmic.

His love for Brianne was his greatest strength, as well as, his biggest weakness. He sent Cael a mental message that it was time, and together they stalked to Brianne where she stood talking to Elsie and Mack. His shaft pulsed with the need to take this last step.

He trailed a hand from her shoulder to her waist, tempted to unzip her dress and explore her soft flesh. Instead, he leaned down and whispered in her ear. “It’s time, love.”

She glanced up at him while her arousal scented the air around them. “Okay.”

“Get out of here before you start an orgy,” Elsie chided while Mack blurted, “Might have to change your shirt from Magically Delicious to Epically Delicious.” Cade agreed with her sentiment, leading Brianne away from the mating celebration.

“Es cierto,” Brianne chuckled to Mack as they retreated. Cade’s heart soared at the joy he heard in her voice.

His attention rapidly shifted from her joy to her arousal. The three of them made love many times since their first, yet each time was a gift. Cade kicked the door shut behind Brianne, and they followed Cael into the bedroom. She was a vision and had taunted him from the moment he saw her earlier that night. Her full breasts were all but spilling out of the low-cut wedding gown. The white, silk garment gloved her luscious curves perfectly and had him and Cael salivating.

“Are you ready to finish this, mate? I’m hungry for your blood,” Cade husked to her.

Goosebumps rose on her arms, and he knew the thought was driving her mad with need. Cael turned her, pushing down the zipper that ran from her lower back to her perfect ass. Cade’s erection kicked in his pants as he recalled the feel of sinking into that tight opening. Bending over, he kissed her bare shoulders, the sweet taste of mango exploding on his tongue.

Cael let go of her dress, and the fabric pooled at her feet. She turned around to face them both. She rarely wore a bra because it interfered with her wings, and he loved how it gave him quicker access to her breasts. He licked his lips and closed the distance, lowering his head to taste the berry-tipped peaks that tightened under his scrutiny.

Lifting his head, he finished his perusal of her body, expecting to find her neat thatch of dark curls. Cade was surprised when he spotted white, satin panties. His blood sizzled, and the inferno within fueled to scorching as she cocked her hip, giving him a view of one bare cheek. Her rounded ass was made to wear thongs.

“I didn’t want to seem too eager,” she teased, obviously using her ability to read his thoughts.

“There’s no such thing as too eager. You should always be aching and ready for us,” Cael informed her.

“These panties are hiding how much she wants us,” Cade said as he grabbed one side and pulled. The fabric ripped easily under his grip, and his mouth watered at the glistening curls that were revealed.

Cael’s fingers trailed down her stomach and slid between her feminine folds. Cade watched, mesmerized by Brianne’s hips moving. Cade couldn’t resist and added his touch between her thighs.

“Yes, Gods, that feels good,” Brianne cried out.

Brianne was more than he ever prayed for. “You are our goddess and salvation. And, we will spend the rest of our lives dedicated to your happiness,” Cade vowed as he urged her onto the bed.

A smile spread over her face before Brianne bent one knee and spread her legs, displaying her lush petals. Instinctually, Cade fell to his knees in front of her, prepared to worship her body.

Cael laid on the bed and claimed Brianne’s lips while Cade dipped his head and his tongue snaked out, licking her clit. Her moan was swallowed by Cael but still music to Cade’s ears. Spreading her to his view, the scent of her desire, tangy and sweet, made him hungry for more. He attacked and tongue-fucked her slick channel as she grabbed Cael, and ran her hand to his cock.

In no time, Brianne and Cael were close to orgasm. The more Brianne’s hips moved against his mouth, the harder Cade became, and the more his brother surged his shaft through her tight grip.

Lifting his head, Cade admired the site she made so close to orgasm. He and Cael’s favorite game was to bring her close to climax then back off. It made it that much sweeter when she finally flew over the edge. At the moment, Brianne was so wet her clit glistened under the candlelight.

“You both had better fuck me before I die,” Brianne urged through panted breaths.

“As you wish,” Cade said and reached for the lubricant then handed it to Cael.

“Mmmm. I’ve been looking forward to this all day,” Cael murmured as he accepted the bottle. Cade was once again struck by how right their coupling felt. There had not been one second of awkwardness. He and his brother knew each other better than anyone else, and anticipated each other’s moves, driving Brianne’s need higher.

Cade grabbed her ankles and brought Brianne’s bottom to the edge of the bed. She let go of Cael and had Cade’s aching cock in hand before he could blink. He groaned and jumped when she squeezed his shaft. Cael kissed Brianne while she lay back on the bed, and wrapped her legs around Cade’s waist. Her heels dug deliciously into his ass. His and Cael’s mating marks burned at the same time, making Cade want to surge inside his mate, and fuck her hard and fast.

Before he realized what he was doing, Cade pointed the leaking head at her dewy mound and swiftly entered her. Their combined groans mingled with Cael’s. Cade glanced at his brother and saw that Brianne had his shaft in her tiny fist again. Cade glanced down, and his vision snagged on the sight of his cock disappearing into her hot, tight pussy. Un-fucking-real.

“More. I need you, too, Cael,” Brianne demanded as she turned and flipped Cade to his back with his shaft still inside her.

She rose and slammed down. “Fuck. Slow down, love. We have a mating to complete, Bri.”

Cael yanked the drawer from the nightstand, spilling the contents as he grabbed the ceremonial dagger. The small, silver blade was engraved with Celtic symbols and their family name. Every family had a similar weapon used for non-vampiric mates.

Brianne’s lust-filled eyes turned heavy-lidded as she sat up and accepted the blade. Cael plucked her clit, reminding her of their urgency. For a blissful second, Brianne’s core clenched around Cade’s shaft while she writhed and moaned.

“Get inside me, and I will cut you then take your blood before we finish,” she instructed Cael then laid across Cade’s chest.

Cade ran his hand down her side and grabbed one ass cheek, spreading her so his brother could prepare her rear entrance. Brianne gasped into his mouth when Cael’s cock breached the tight ring of muscle. Cael thrust into her a second later, pushing Brianne forward. The hand that clutched the knife came perilously close to nicking Cade’s neck with her movements.

Cade and his brother moved in and out of her body until Brianne lifted the blade and nicked the side of his neck. Cael stilled his movements at the same time as Cade and leaned over Brianne’s shoulder so she could make an incision in his throat. Brianne dropped the blade and sat up, forcing Cael to kneel so he could remain inside her.

“With this exchange,” Cade murmured as he licked the side of her neck, “we will be joined for all eternity.” Cael echoed the vow as she sucked the blood from Cade’s incision then moved to taste Cael. Lust shot through Cade’s cock and balls as she sucked and swallowed his blood.

Her lips coated in red, Brianne swept her hair over her shoulders and thrust her breasts out. Speechless, Cade kissed her briefly before Cade lowered his head and bit into her boob. Cael licked the side of Brianne’s neck, and his fangs pierced her jugular at the same time. Brianne cried out, and they climaxed as one, the moment their three souls united. The gold ribbon he recalled from their mating ceremony turned into a million, tiny, gold chains, linking their three bodies at every pore. It was surreal, and Cade’s arousal skyrocketed out of control.

Cade plunged into her pussy like a piston while his seed exploded from his cock like a freight train. Gasping for breath, Cade felt the spasms of Brianne’s orgasm continue and strengthen in volume. Cade and Cael lost themselves to the unrelenting pleasure wracking their bodies and fucked her tight little sheath and ass for what seemed like hours until their combined climaxes waned.

Cade gently rocked his still erect cock into her core, their souls drifting back into their bodies, and for the first time since his mating brand appeared, the pain dissipated.

“We need to do that again. Right after I take a nap,” Brianne teased as she collapsed against Cade’s chest.

Cael withdrew from her backside and retrieved a warm washcloth. As Cael urged Brianne over, she stretched, and Cade noticed her mate mark for the first time.

“Looks like we left our mark on you, as well,” Cade murmured as he leaned down and kissed the circle with three lines on her left thigh, eliciting moans from her.

“You marked my heart the second I met you both. Mis amores,” Brianne sighed and sank into Cael’s kiss.

Cade knew that the world they lived in was far from perfect, but Cade’s life was perfect with Brianne at his and Cael’s side for the rest of eternity. He couldn’t ask for more from the Goddess.
