“Are you all right, Goldie?” Finn asked anxiously.
“Yeah—are you okay?” Ronan stroked my hair away from my face.
“I’ll be fine.” I smiled up at them. “I’m just so full.”
“Full?” Finn frowned. “What do you mean? There’s nobody, uh, in you right now.”
“I mean, I think for the first time in my life, the Succubus part of me is satiated.” I sat up and turned to look at Thorne, who was still standing at the foot of the bed. “I have you to thank for that. Why don’t you come up here and join us?” I patted the bed. “After all, now that the curse is broken and the four of us are Heartmates, I want to get to know you.”
“Wait…what?” Finn frowned. “Don’t we have to drink the potion to break the curse?”
“No—we just had to activate it by forming a Heartmate Bond,” I explained. “Once that happened and the three of you breathed in the steam rising from it, that’s what broke the curse.”
“Uh…and did you say all four of us are Heartmates now?” Ronan asked.
I nodded.
“Yes—can’t you feel it? Thorne joined just before the Bond we had formed was fully sealed. You could say he came just in time.”
Finn groaned.
“Goldie, that’s awful.”
“Sorry.” I grinned at him unrepentantly. “I’m just so happy! You don’t know how long I’ve been hoping to find just the right men. Men who wouldn’t mind sharing me.” I looked up at Thorne. “You don’t mind, do you? Ronan and Finn are fine with it.”
“Well…” Thorne settled on the edge bed beside me. “Werebears don’t usually share mates, mostly because it’s hard for a woman to handle even one of us—let alone two.”
“Goldie can do it—her Succubus half will help,” Finn said confidently.
I shot him a smile—I loved how he understood and accepted me.
“Then if you and Ronan don’t mind, I guess I don’t either.” Thorne still looked a little disoriented. He rubbed a hand over his face. “Fuck…I feel like I was trapped in a nightmare and I woke up in a wet dream.”
Finn and Ronan and I laughed together. I could feel my guys’ delight at being all together again. Their Clan was small but tightly knit—it had hurt them to lose Thorne and now that they had him back, they felt complete again. But I wanted to assure the newest addition to our little group that he was welcome.
“This is no dream,” I said, taking Thorne’s hand. “You’re safe here. Always.”
“Thanks,” he said simply and squeezed my hand. “But I still feel kind of strange sitting here with no clothes on.”
“Oh, we don’t need clothes,” I assured him. Though I was satiated, I still felt the lust from my Succubus side stirring again. “In fact, I think it would be a very good idea if the four of us spent some time strengthening our new Heartmate Bond before we leave the Lust Hut.”
Ronan and Finn’s eyes were suddenly half-lidded with desire.
“I don’t mind,” Ronan growled and Finn nodded.
Thorne’s gaze swept over my naked body and his golden eyes were suddenly lazy with lust.
“In that case, I’m up for some more Bonding, too. This time I’d like to know what the fuck I’m doing before I wake up in the middle of doing it,” he growled.
I laughed softly.
“Oh, I think we can manage that.”
As the four of us went back to bed, I felt like my heart might burst with happiness. This was what I’d always wished for—men who wanted to be with me and didn’t mind sharing. No more going to the Human World to try and satisfy my cravings. With three big, strong Werebears for Heartmates my Succubus side would never go hungry again.
And we would live together in peace and harmony for the rest of our lives.
EPILOGUE
GOLDIE
“So you got the desire of your heart—and more!” Goody Albright said, smiling as she sipped her tea. “Three big strapping males instead of just one. Congratulations, Goldie!”
“Yeah—but I don’t know how you’re going to handle all that!” Sarah’s eyes were wide. “I mean, it’s hard enough dealing with Rath and he’s only got two dicks—now you have to deal with three.”
“That’s two too many for me,” Willow said firmly. “I’m glad gargoyles who turn out to be fallen angels only have one. Even if it is a really big one,” she added, hiding a smile.
“Demons only have one…but of course Malik is also really good with his tail,” Celia remarked, laughing.
“I’m with Sarah—two is the perfect amount,” Harmony, the newest addition to our girl’s group, remarked and took a sip of her hot chocolate.
“Well, I’m happy to have three,” I said. “Three guys will keep me and my Succubus half extremely satisfied. No more trolling the Human World and dealing with human men—they’re the worst. Whereas, Werebears are sweet and kind and cuddly.”
“Speak for yourself—I don’t know how I’d feel about cuddling with a grizzly bear,” Sarah said dryly.
