Chapter 136 part 2
**Conner**
I do as she commands, my body stretching out on the bed beside her. The magical ropes binding Avery to the bed disappear as Avery straddles me, her hands pinning my wrists above my head. “Tell me what you want,” she demands, her voice a mix of dominance and desire.
“I want to feel your power,” I confess, my eyes locked on hers. “I want to know that I’m at your mercy.” Avery leans down, her lips capturing mine in a kiss that is both tender and commanding. As our tongues entwine, James looms over her, his dominant energy filling the room.
“You’re mine to claim,” he growls, his voice a primal declaration. He reaches out, his hands gripping her hips as he pulls her against him. “But tonight, I want you to claim me.”
Avery’s heart pounds as she realizes the depth of his submission. She nods, her voice steady. “Then kneel, James.” My mate is enjoying this. Perhaps our submission is what she needs to accept her own power? If that is the case, then I will gladly kneel whenever she desires.
He kneels before her, his head bowed as he offers himself to her. Avery runs her hands through his tousled brown hair, her touch both gentle and possessive. “Look at me,” she commands, her voice laced with authority. “Tell me what you want.”
“I want to be yours,” he growls, his eyes burning with desire. “I want to feel the weight of your dominance, to know that I’m yours to claim.”
Avery smiles, a slow, seductive curve of her lips. “Then show me, please me.”
As James begins to worship her, Clint’s presence looming over her, his darkness colliding with her light. “You’re mine to control,” he declares, his voice strained as the darkness within him struggles against the ritual’s pull. “But tonight, I want you to control me.”
Avery’s heart races as she realizes the depth of his submission. She nods, her voice steady. “Then lie down, Clint. Tell me what you want,” she demands.
“I want to be saved,” he confesses, his eyes locked on hers. “I want to feel your light, to know that I’m not beyond redemption.” My brother is her, but for how long?
Avery
I lean down, my lips capturing him in a kiss that is both tender and commanding. As our tongues entwine, I feel the darkness within him begin to recede, replaced by a warmth that spreads through me like wildfire. It is like an eternal fire that’s forever burning at its peak.
The ritual continues, each moment a dance of dominance and submission, of pleasure and pain. I find myself at the center, them orbiting around me like planets around a sun. But amidst the ecstasy, there is pain. Clint’s darkness surfaces, a palpable force that threatens to consume us all. It twists his desires, turning us into something darker, more primal. He growls, his eyes glowing with an otherworldly light as he struggles against the ritual’s pull. “You can’t save me,” he snarls, his voice laced with desperation. “The darkness is a part of me, and it will consume you all.”
I meet his gaze, my voice steady despite the fear that threatens to overwhelm me. “Then let it try, because there can’t be darkness without the light.” I reach out, gripping his face, and I pull him into a kiss that is both tender and fierce. I pour my light into him, my love and desire a beacon that cuts through the darkness. Clint resists at first, his body rigid as he fights against my touch. But slowly, the tension in his body begins to ease, his growls softening into moans of pleasure.
Clint collapses against me, his body trembling as he surrenders to my touch. “You’ve saved me,” he whispers, his voice hoarse with emotion. “I’m yours, Avery. Completely and utterly yours.”
As the ritual reaches its climax, I feel a surge of power coursing through me. I suddenly realize that I am many things: the queen, the dominatrix, the savior. My mates surround me, their bodies entwined with mine as they surrender to my control. Cassius worships my body with his mouth and hands, his touch both tender and commanding. Conner lies beneath me, his body trembling as he surrenders to my dominance. James kneels before me, his head bowed as he offers himself to me. And Clint clings to me, his body shaking as he surrenders to my light.
I close my eyes, my breath coming in short gasps as the pleasure builds to an unbearable crescendo. I feel my mates’ desires intertwining with mine. “Now,” I commanded, my voice a mix of dominance and desire. My mates respond as one, their bodies moving in perfect harmony as they bring me to the brink of ecstasy. The pleasure is overwhelming, a tidal wave that crashes over me, sweeping me away in its wake. I cry out, my voice echoing in the chamber as I surrender to the sensation. As the ritual ends, I find myself back in the chamber, my body trembling as I collapse against my mates. They surround me, their arms wrapping around me as they hold me close.
Seraphina stands before us, her eyes glowing with approval. “The darkness has been purged,” she declares, her voice echoing in the chamber. “Clint is free, and your bond is stronger than ever.”
I meet Clint’s gaze, my heart swelling with love and relief. “We did it,” I whispered, my voice hoarse with emotion. “We saved you.”
Clint smiles, his eyes shining with gratitude. “You saved me,” he corrects, his voice soft. “I’m yours, Avery. Forever.”
As we embrace, I feel the weight of the ritual lifting, replaced by a sense of peace and contentment. Maybe now, we can have some normalcy. The chamber is silent, the only sound is the soft murmur of our breathing as we hold each other close. I close my eyes, my heart full as she basks in the warmth of their love. I am becoming many things, but most importantly, I am loved.
