My eyes felt hot as I felt the connection to all reapers of the past. They were with me now, their energy pulsing through my veins, urging me forward. I had a duty to protect the living from the dead.
I scanned the landscape before me, searching for my next step.
And then I saw him.
A tall figure standing alone by a tombstone, his back towards me. His broad shoulders tight, his arms folded across his chest.
Heath.
My heart leapt into my throat as I drew closer, the love I felt for him overcoming everything else.
His blond hair glistened, reminding me of honey and gold. I ran towards him, my heart beating faster with each step. “Heath,” I whispered, my voice hoarse from disuse. “It’s you.”
He turned, his beautiful face molded into a mix of shock and joy.
“Sierra,” he breathed, his voice rough.
We ran toward each other, our bodies colliding, and all else disappeared. His strong arms wrapped around me, crushing me against his chest. I buried my face in his neck, inhaling his familiar scent of cedarwood and leather. It was intoxicating.
“Fuck, I’ve missed you,” he growled against my hair.
His lips found mine, possessive and demanding. I opened for him, letting him in. His tongue dove deep, claiming my mouth as if he owned it - and maybe he did. Our kisses were wild and desperate, our bodies pressed so close I could feel his heart racing against mine.
I pulled back slightly to look into his eyes. “I missed you too,” I whispered, my voice barely above a whisper.
He jumped back, pushing me away suddenly, but taking my hand. “We have to hurry. There is so much to tell you.”
We hurried away from the cemetery, but Riley came running around out from between some trees toward us. He looked a Heath, then me. His mouth dropped and his eyes widened, then he ran toward us and grabbed me off my feet. His touch sent electric shocks through my body, making me moan softly as he backed me up against a headstone, his hands roaming over my body. My heart raced as his rough palms skimmed down my arms, across my chest, and over my hips. I arched into his touch, needy for more.
“You’re so fucking beautiful,” he groaned, his lips grazing my collarbone.
His mouth latched onto my nipple, sucking hard. I gasped at the sensation, my legs shaking with desire. Heat coursed through me, pooling between my thighs. His hands slid down to my waist, gripping me tight. Then he was gone, trailing kisses along my stomach and lower.
I whimpered when his tongue circled my navel before dipping into my wet core. I was so ready for him, aching for him. He plunged two fingers into me, and I cried out, needing more.
“Fuck, you feel incredible,” he growled, his mouth covering mine in a passionate kiss as he thrust inside me.
“Bro, please,” Heath’s voice came out in a desperate whine. I didn’t care. Finally, we were together again. I just needed them all.
Riley lowered his pants as did Heath. He got behind Riley and his big friend tore away my underwear and thrust his huge cock inside me. I was more than ready for him.
The scent of damp earth and sex filled the air as our bodies moved in sync. He was rough and demanding, taking me hard against the cool stone. I wrapped my legs around his hips, clinging to him. Each thrust made the ground beneath us vibrate with every impact. I cried out, feeling him hit my G-spot with every forceful stroke. My legs bounced against Heath, who stood behind him, and Riley cried out when Heath thrust up into him.
“Oh, god,” I moaned, my voice hoarse from wanting.
Riley pulled back to look at me, his large eyes burning with lust and something more. Something forbidden and dangerous.
“Always,” he murmured before slamming back into me again. We made our way to the ground, a mess of limbs and emotions, tangled together like vines in the night. My breasts swayed with each panting breath, my skin flushed red from the friction. Every touch from them felt like an electric current racing through me.
I could feel Heath’s presence above us, his hands running over Riley, over me. I closed my eyes, lost in the moment, wanting it to last forever.
But something still felt off...
Suddenly, Heath moved back, and Riley pulled out of me, groaning in frustration. I looked up and electric joy sparked through me as Torin rushed over and pulled me into a harsh kiss, quickly dropping his pants to take Riley’s place. Heath and Rye fell to the ground beside us. Riley’s hand roamed over all of us, as if he didn’t know whom to touch first, while Heath kissed my hair, his lips brushing against my forehead. “I’m glad you’re here, Sierra,” he whispered softly.
My heart ached for a moment, feeling a strange distance between us, but I pushed it aside for now. This was what I wanted —to be with them. All of them.
“Where’s Enzo,” I whispered when my lips had a free moment from kissing and cocks being thrust between them.
“He’ll be here as soon as he can,” Heath said, sounding sad. I reached a hand toward his face, and he cupped it against his cheek. I moved to take his cock in my hand, but he’d move back again behind Torin this time. I had no more will to wonder what he was thinking as Riley, who now lay on the ground under me thrust deeply into my ass as Torin’s cock filled my pussy. Each of Tor’s thrusts were given more force as Heath pounded his dick into Tor’s beautiful, muscled ass.
Eternity passed too soon as we finally lay there basking in each other’s afterglow, multiple orgasms having left me spent and weak. A cool breeze brushed against my skin. It felt refreshing after the heat of our passion. I turned to face Heath, who was watching me with an unreadable expression on his face.
He leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to my forehead, his stubble scratching against my skin. His scent enveloped me, familiar yet foreign. I traced his jawline with my fingertips, feeling the roughness of his five o’clock shadow beneath my touch. “I’m so glad you’re back,” he whispered.
But there was something in his voice that made me shiver. Something dark and tormented.
“What is it, Heath?” I asked softly, nipping at his bottom lip.
He glanced away, eyes unfocused as he stared into the distance. “It’s complicated,” he murmured, his hands finding mine.
I frowned, sensing a barrier between us. One that wasn’t there before. It frightened me, but I pushed it aside as we lay together like this. This was our chance, our second chance at love. It didn’t matter what had happened in the past.
“We should go,” Riley said finally, his voice laced with exhaustion. “Heath’s parents might be back soon, and we still need to find out what’s up with Enzo and Anna.”
I nodded, reluctantly pulling away from their warmth. We helped each other up, our arms still wrapped around each other as we walked back to the house.
Enzo arrived at the front door moments later, as we were still in various states of nakedness. His dark eyes widened in shock as they drifted over me, taking in every curve and dip of my skin. I felt exposed but also wanted him to see every inch of me - a testament to the hold they all had on me, including him.
