"We took them out of your bag and you'll be tied down to keep you from being bad," Ansell said softly. "Do you really feel the need to push this, Lacey? All I asked was for you to eat so that you would stay healthy and have the energy you will need for the bonding. But if it's too much, then we might as well just turn in for the night and we can try this again tomorrow. I'm sorry you felt I was doing otherwise." He stood and dropped his napkin on the table. "If you'll excuse me, I feel the need to walk."
Zhubin didn't say anything, just turned to his meal and dug into the food on his plate.
Lacey shook her head and sighed. "All I was doing was teasing him," she muttered and turned back to her plate. "I like being able to tease you guys, to play around and just be goofy with you both."
"And we enjoy it as well, love. But he wasn't teasing you," Zhubin said softly. "He was perfectly serious the entire time. We're on edge, we're tense and having to do this family bit is only making it worse. We want you to feel a part of our family but you have to understand, we've been waiting five years for you Lace." Reaching over, he stroked her hair with a light hand. "Eat, darling, you really will need the energy."
"Oh I plan on it," she said softly and ate. When she was finished she leaned into Zhubin and sighed. "Should we go and get Ansell and maybe get out of here? Do you think that your parents will understand if we leave now instead of sticking around?"
"I'm sure they will understand. They had to go through this as well, love." Pressing a kiss to her lips he stared down into her eyes. "We'll head over to the guest house and spend the night there. It's too late to try and get through the Veil anyway. And really, this will just be easier for us all if we're here."
"I would rather be on this side anyway because I don't want anything at all to get in the way of us coming together. I am terrified if we go over there somehow this monster will find a way to stop our mating and that is not something that I want to happen. This is ours. Somehow and some way, this is ours."
"I know, love," he said gently. His hand rubbed up and down her arm slowly for a time. Then he stopped and gave her a squeeze. "Come on, Lace, let's go and find Ansell." Zhubin got to his feet and helped her from her chair. Taking her hand he led her down a hall to a door and then out into the well-maintained yard of the large home.
"Oh, I thought that you would know just where he was." Lacey was mildly shocked that Zhubin didn't know exactly where Ansell was. "Is he angry with me? I hope not. I really didn't mean to piss him off." She just had that effect on people sadly. Yay her.
"I have an idea of where he might be, but we have a lot of land here, he could be a number of places. We'll find him, Lace, promise." Zhubin pulled her closer, wrapping his arm around her. "He's not angry, he's tense, frustrated and likely horny to the nth degree. So am I, as a matter of fact. He tends to let his emotions run him though. You didn't piss him off, but I think you pushed him to the edge. I'm pretty sure he was ready to throw you on the dinner table and take you there and then."
"I'm pretty sure that I would have let him," she admitted bluntly. "You boys aren't the only ones riding the edge of sanity. All that I know is that I have waited too damn long. Far too damn long. I let a Vampyre get in the way of our happiness but never again. I need you. Both of you. Here, now. So we need to find him so that we can cement our bond."
"And we will, Lacey," he promised, hugging her to him. They walked for a time, he was looking around but she wasn't sure what caught his attention that halted their progress. "This way," he told her as he changed direction. They walked a little further and then she saw Ansell. He was skipping stones over a pond. "Go ahead," he spoke to her softly, giving her a nudge toward the other male.
Lacey walked away from Zhubin and to Ansell. Wrapping her arms around him she gave him a squeeze and looked up at him. "I love you, Ansell. I really do. I was teasing you, I'm sorry it got out of hand. Can we please move on? Can we go back to where you love me too?" She knew that he did, but she needed the words too.
"I've never stopped loving you, Lacey," he said quietly. Lifting her up in his arms he hugged her close and put his face in her neck. "I shouldn't have walked off, I was too tense and didn't want to hurt you." Ansell held her tighter, squeezing her closer to him, and let out a shuddering breath.
"You would never hurt me," she told him softly. "And I was pushing your buttons, I won't lie, however I ate every single bite on my plate." She pulled back and grinned. "Do I get a reward?"
He stared at her and nodded slowly. "Yes you do get a reward." He pressed his lips to her ear and slid his tongue over the shell. "You get my cock filling your ass while Z fills your pussy. You will be ours tonight and for the rest of time. No more running, no more hiding, no more."
"Good." She moaned. "No more running, no more hiding. From now until forever we are one," she said simply. "Forever. Now, get naked because I need you. I'm so fucking horny, I'm so wet it's like I've sat in a river for a swim. Naked. Sex. Now." Okay, so maybe when they got to the cottage, but she wouldn't turn them down right here in front of the lake either.
"Not outside, no need to scare off any more of the staff," Zhubin said from behind her. "The cottage," he added so that Ansell would know where they were going as well.
Ansell nodded and began to move, holding her tight to him as he moved with long-legged strides. He nipped at her neck and squeezed her ass in his hands. "Are you sure you're ready for this, Lacey? We haven't exactly had time to prepare your body for what needs to happen with us."
"God yes I'm more than sure." Lacey moaned. "Can't you feel how fucking wet that I am? How much I need you?" she asked and rubbed herself against him, hard. "I can't wait another moment. Rip my clothes off but damn I need to be naked with you both and very, very soon or I will explode."
"Almost there," Ansell assured her softly. He climbed slightly and she heard a door opening and then slamming shut. No lights were needed, not with their eyesight. And since he was carrying her she didn't worry one bit. Next thing she knew she was dropped onto a bed and they were working on her shoes, tossing them aside. Her pants were next before they paused to pull at their own clothing.
Lacey watched them and licked her lips as they began to bare themselves to her. "The bands too." She wanted all of them. Not just part but every single inch of their bodies. She was going to belong to them fully and she wanted the same from them.
Sharing a look they shrugged and pulled off the cuffs. They tossed them aside and then, in near unison, eased onto the bed. Zhubin on one side, Ansell on the other. When they lay down they began to touch her, slowly, with infinite care as they stroked her naked form for the first time.
Lacey put her hand on Zhubin, her palm to his and did the same to Ansell. "We are a unit. All three of us, right? Going into this, no matter what we know that the three of us will always be solid. And you know how very much I care, right?"
"Always," Zhubin said, lifting her hand. He pressed a kiss to her palm as Ansell did the same to her other hand. Then they were moving her, turning her to face Zhubin. Her top leg was lifted up over his hip and his cock was rubbing over her clit. Ansell's hand was between her legs, stroking her pussy and pushing the liquid to her anus. He pressed a finger into her tight hole, his mouth on her shoulder.
"Yes" She hissed out loudly. "Oh God, yes." She was pushing back against Ansell. The feelings were so intense and oh so good. Leaning down closer to Zhubin, she rubbed her nose to his. "I need you to fill me, both of you. I need this more than you can possibly know." The man kept her from taking his cock into her body. She had tried to push down on him, tried to move so that she could take him but he wasn't doing it, wasn't letting her.
"Can't, not until Ansell has you ready enough to take him. He needs to stretch you so he doesn't hurt you." Zhubin held her hips still, his lips against hers as he kissed her gently. He smiled and nipped at her mouth. "Then I'll fill you up as he fills you up and we'll take you, hard, fast and later, once this edge is off, do it all again nice and slow."
