The Magic of Destiny (Emerald Lakes #4)

by Britt Andrews

The thought of not only marking you with my seed, but knowing you're growing a baby? Maybe my baby? Firefly, it's the single hottest thought I've ever had.” He rocked his hips, and his cock felt hard enough to pound stone. My eyes widened, and I blinked owlishly. Pretty sure what he was describing was a slight kink of some kind.

“Fuck her harder, man. Give her your cum.” Kai grabbed the back of my neck, and I stared into his black eyes as I pounded into our mate. “Gonna come,” I chanted, my body needing the release. “Yesss,” Saige hissed, just as Kai smashed his mouth against mine and I fucked into her once, twice, three times before my entire body jerked and trembled. My cum spurted out, and it felt like the orgasm was lasting forever. Once my balls were emptied, I stepped back and watched as my cum dripped from her swollen pussy, falling onto the floor. Saige whimpered at the loss of cock, but quickly changed her tune as Kai used his fingers to slowly push my cum back inside her.

“You're nervous?” Fischer asked, his eyes narrowing as he studied me. “Well, yeah. This whole situation makes me nervous. Aren't you?” I replied, shutting down my guilt as much as possible before he picked up on that, too. His gaze dropped to where I was rubbing my stomach, something I hadn't even realized I was doing. I dropped my hand immediately. “I'm confident we'll figure everything out. Alright, you're hungry. Let's go eat, and breathe some fresh air. It stinks in here.” He screwed up his nose, wrapping an arm around my waist and escorting me from the charred rubble. I'm a horrible, horrible person.

Snatching the book from the desk, I peeped the title. Rooksgrave Manor. Damn. ‘Don't you dare open that book,’ Bagheera growled, and I sighed. ‘Fine. But it's up next on my TBR as soon as we're out of here.’ I pouted, pulling the door open and propping it open with the novel. Fuck, what a waste of fine words...

‘It is I who should be thanking you, and the honor is all mine, my queen. Be safe.’ He gently nudged my stomach with his snout. Fish and Sloane were already gathering up the rest of our things so we could leave. ‘Do they know yet, my queen?’ Vaeryn asked and I startled, looking behind me. The guys were still occupied so it was clear to me they weren't privy to this conversation. “Know what?” I replied. ‘You're going to be great at many things... lying though, is not one of them.’ My hands dropped to my belly where the large dragon had just had his snout. My eyes watered before I could stop them. ‘No,’ I whispered through the mental connection. ‘You must tell them. Him, especially,’ Vaeryn told me firmly. Before I could ask who, he added, ‘Dragons are particularly protective of their young and their pregnant mates. Don't be surprised if you see a change come over him once he realizes. His daughter grows strong within your womb, my queen.’ I choked down a sob. A daughter. Sloane's daughter? ‘But you also need to tell the prince. You're going to have two overprotective mates to deal with very soon,’ he told me, and my brow furrowed. ‘Bram? What do you mean?’ Laughter floated through the link, and my heart began pounding. ‘Why, the other daughter is his, of course,’ he declared. ‘The other one? Wait. Vaeryn! You mean... You mean I'm—’ I couldn't even get the words out of my mouth. Or head, whatever. This whole talking through a mental link was confusing to say the least. ‘Yes,...

‘Nobody is ever truly ready to embrace their destiny, but your time is near.’

“I can relate. We may not know what it looks like to be a good dad, but we know what it doesn't look like. I figure we can use that to guide us. Plus, the other guys will be awesome. You will too, man,”

didn't know what to say to you. I didn't know about you, because Fischer never elaborated. Of course you'd hate me. But what Fischer and I have, or had, back when you were a part of him—that was between me and Fish. I'm sorry that you were involved without your consent, but you're here now. So just fucking tell me, Faris. Tell me what you want, because right now, the hard dick that's rubbing against mine tells me that you want me, but the look on your face says you'd rather die than let me fuck you. What. Do. You. Want?!” “Oomph,” I grunted as he threw himself at me, wrapping his arms around my neck and taking my mouth in a scorching kiss that made my head spin. I could feel his tongue ring, foreign and enticing on my tongue. “Fuck yes,” Bram breathed,

A sharp pain exploded on my ass, and I sat up so fast my head spun. Faris was immediately frozen beneath me, his eyes wide. “Holy shit. You just spanked Sloane,” Bram gasped down at him, but by the sounds he was making, that little turn of events definitely wasn’t putting a damper on his arousal. “Really?” I said in a low voice, lifting a brow at the man sprawled out on the cool stone floor. He lifted his chin. “You had it coming.” I grinned wickedly at him, feeling a surge of respect for him standing his ground. But holy shit if my palm wasn’t itching with the urge to mark his ass up hard enough to rival the color of a blood moon.

That was the funny thing about depression. Despite knowing what you can do to cope and make things better for yourself, some days you just can't find the energy or the drive to do shit about it.

I walked through the grass, determination flooding my veins. I'm strong. I'm worthy. My intrusive thoughts are warped, harmful things that have no business in my brain.

“I'm going to come, oh fuck,” Cam grunted, the cords of muscle in his neck standing out starkly as he pounded her ruthlessly. Her sounds of pleasure were causing my head to spin. “Come on my cock,” I blurted out, and Cam's eyes shot open. “What did you say?” he asked, slowing his hips. Saige moaned loudly at my request. “I said, come all over this dick. Then I'm going to fuck our girl and put it right back where it belongs. Mixed with mine.”

just wanted to tell you two that I love you so much and appreciate you. Oh, and you looked stupid hot with your cocks together like that and I wanna hold them next time, okaythankyoubye!” I slipped from between them and darted to the door, smiling at the sounds of them laughing deeply.

People don't get lucky, child. They get served the wins they earn and you better enjoy every moment of it. There will always be people out there who want your power, your magic, your money or your family, and you can either let them win, or you can fight. You fight and you fuck them up, Saige. I taught you nothing less than to create your happiness and to own your magic. You don't know what tomorrow will bring, so you damn well better enjoy today. And fuck anyone who says otherwise.”
