Chapter 59-

Oriel:
“I know I shouldn’t be pushing my luck because last night was amazing and something I have wanted for years.” “You have been wanting to share me with two sexy vampires?” I lean back into Irvin and give him one of my signature sly smiles. “No firecracker in my fantasies I had you all to myself and I was able to fill you so full of my cock that you wouldn’t be able to walk straight the next day.” My cheeks burn with his dirty words, until last night I never knew how dominating and sexy he could be. Irvin has always been my sweet, soft-spoken protector. “I do like the way that sounds. I have loved you for so long, but things are more complicated than what just you and I want. I am bound to Rowen and have so much respect for the work he has been doing to bring our people together again, and then there is Darius. He has been my friend and teacher; he has been my ally and helped me cement my place here in the castle. I care for him deeply and so does Rowen.” I turn my body so that I’m in Irvin’s lap and we are face to face. He strokes my back and being like this in his arms feels right, I don’t know if I’d be able to let this go if we couldn’t be together, I need him. “Do you think you would be able to share me? You probably have your own mate out there. I don’t want to get in the way of your happiness because I’m being selfish.” “Shhhh firecracker. There is no one out there for me but you. No one I could ever want more than you, I don’t care if I have a true mate, I only want you. Of course, I would rather have you all to myself, but I will take any part of you I can get. I just want you, forever. Even if that means I’m stuck with the two bloodsuckers.” “They aren’t so bad. I do need to talk to them and see where they are at with all of this. They might not be feeling the same way, it’s hard because my heat brought all of this on so suddenly.” I’m startled when I hear Rowen’s hearty laughter. I don’t know if I’ve ever heard him laugh before, I love it. “Don’t worry princess we all want you, but your right we need to sit down and decide what this means for all of us. What I want more than anything is for you to be happy and loved. You are quite the woman so maybe it will take all three of us to try and tame you.” My men all enjoy a good laugh until I step out of the bath dripping and smiling. Their mouths all hang open and Rowen grabs himself through his pants his cock hard and eager. “Or just maybe I’ll tame all of you and allow you to worship at my feet.” I let out a delighted squeal when Rowen picks me up carrying me back to the bed and throws me down. “Let’s start the worshiping now.”
Rowen directs my lovers to please me and please me they do. Darius and Irvin lick, suck, and nibble my body into nirvana. Rowen watches hungerly, but only kisses me and directs my other men in how they should pleasure me. He and Darius share in their own intimacy and it is beyond sexy watching them with each other and it makes not joining in almost painful. I know my parents made Rowen sign that contract to protect me but the next year and a half sound like forever without having him touch me like I want. I also promised Rowen that he would be the first to enter me so until our ceremony I will remain a virgin. Now that I know how good these men make me feel, I want them in every way as soon as possible.
-------------
Over the next few weeks, I get to know Rowen better and explore my new relationships with Darius and Irvin. It is amazing how loved I am feeling and how well each of them are coping with sharing my time and affection. The one who seems to struggle the most is Irvin and I think it’s just our nature as shifters to be possessive of our mates. He also doesn’t share the same relationship that Darius and Rowen do. They are able to lean on each other for comfort and intimacy when they feel left out or jealous. I have been alternating my nights between them, having Irvin one night and then next having Darius and Rowen stay with me. When I have Irvin in my bed my other two lovers share Rowen’s chambers. So far it has worked well, and we have had a few nights all together. You would think drowning in orgasms would leave me stated but I only get more impatient for the mating ceremony. I need them to make me theirs in every way.
We have decided together that our abnormal relationship needs to stay private until after the mating ceremony and my coronation. We have put far too much work into uniting shifters and vampires to let small minded people use our relationship to justify their hatred. After I am crowned and the treaty between our people has been signed then we will have the freedom to be open with how we feel. Until then in the eyes of the world I must belong only to Rowen. We are set to leave tomorrow for the harvest festival where I will be able to see my family and the last details can be worked out between Rowen, his council and the pack alpha’s. The thought of seeing my parents and talking with my mother about my men has me giddy. My family has always been so important to me, and this time apart has been hard, although I have grown and am making my own family, I miss them. I need my mother’s wisdom, and no one knows me and this situation better than her.
There is one problem at the castle that I intend to deal with when we come back home, and her name is Maddie. I learned her name from the chef after I asked around about her. She apparently worked at the castle before her son was born and has come back now that her mate has died, and she needs to provide for her family. I am happy to support her so that she can care for her son, I have even offered for her to bring him here to the castle with her while she works but she said she already has arrangements for him. I don’t know what it is about me that offends her so much, but I can’t bear her disrespect for another day. If she can’t behave properly then we will have to place her somewhere else. I had decided to keep my men out of this since she is one of the maids in my personal wing and I should be able to control my own staff but since she has made this so personal maybe Rowen will have an idea of what to do with her. Since she was employed here before maybe he knows her situation and will have a solution. I don’t want to cast her out, but I can’t stand by and do nothing when she has been so awful to me.
Rowen:
The carts are packed and loaded for our trip. I sent Darius, Irvin, and Ayla out early this morning so that they could prepare the ship and crew but also so I could spend a little time with Oriel alone before we set off. She looks every bit the queen in her long-sleeved silver beaded gown. She wears a green cloak and her crown, every day I fall a little bit more in love with her. She has come to amaze me not only with her beauty but with her kindness, her pride, how she cares for everyone around her, how she holds her head high and demands the respect of everyone she is near. The fact that I get to have her and have Darius by my side not only as my friend but my partner and that she embraces and encourages that relationship is more than I could have ever hoped for. My only enemy now is time. "Are you sure you don't want to ride in the carriage?" "And lose the chance to see how good of a rider you are? No chance of that King, you'll just have to keep up with me." I chase after Oriel and for the first time in a long time I feel free. Free to love how and who I want. Free to live without fear of judgement, free to rule as I feel is right. I recognize my strength comes from the beautiful woman smiling at me as she races off. The woman who has stolen my heart.
