The collar burned as I lay on Grigg's chest, Rav covering us both, all of us out of breath and numb with pleasure.
Grigg's hand rose to stroke my chin, lifting my head out of the way to inspect my collar. Rav leaned around to take a look.
"What is it?" I asked, my voice scratchy from my cries of pleasure.
"You belong to us now," Rav answered. "Forever."
"Your collar is blue," Grigg added, so I would understand.
Their words brought tears to my eyes as emotions I'd been holding back rushed to the surface. Relief. Pride. Joy. Belonging. Family. And love. The last emotion rolled through me and I was helpless before it, a feather swept along in the current. I was free now, free to give myself to them, to love them, forever.
I felt their love, their sated pleasure through the collar. It was open and just as free.
"I love you both, so much." I sobbed and they soothed me, sheltering me in their embrace, protecting me as the stress and chaos of the last few days finally took its toll. In their arms I was safe, and I let it all go.
I let myself love them and felt their love for me in return.
"Mine. You're both mine." The words were a jumbled mess, but my mates heard me and simply tightened their hold. We were one and nothing would ever change that.
