Chapter 77: A Play of Fire & Ice**

When Annalise talked about having plans of getting some sleep after her dinner, it definitely didn’t include the two gorgeous men who were now sitting on her either side while sandwiching her between their solid bodies.

Damian had once again disappeared to some unknown place but no one explained anything to her this time. And while she felt pretty worried about him considering the rain had only become heavier and the wind was blowing crazily outside, she still didn’t ask any questions.

She felt the power of fire wrapping around her, forcing her to acknowledge his presence as he made her turn her head to look at him. She was about to ask him what was going on but her lips got sealed in a kiss even before she got the chance.

She didn’t try to resist because that was rhe last thing on her mind. Instead, she reached for him, her fingers sliding into his hair as she returned the kiss.

She felt another hand working its way to her shoulder and her body immediately welcomed Valerius’ soft touches as his ice magic also joined the play.

This was the first time she experienced both the elements working their way together as they whispered a sweet melody through her senses, making her ache for more.

Their breaths mingled together as Kenric deepened the kiss as one of his hands slipped into her hair and he gave a light tug on them which made her moan as a result.

At the same time, she felt Valerius’ lips pressed against her nape and the cool touch of his soft lips against her skin sent shivers running down her spine.

One moment their hands were running up and down her shoulders and back, and the next moment she found them working on her dress as they joined forces to get her out of the mess of the dress that she was wearing.

Instead of pulling it down in a normal way, Kenric used his powers to burn the dress to ashes and she was only left in the flimsy chemise that barely did the job of hiding her from their desire-filled eyes.

Even now she felt embarrassed and hesitant about being naked in front of them though all three of them had already seen her like that.

She didn’t get to ponder much on that thought because their hands running along her hips and back made her think about only them and nothing else. Their touches were like magic that was meant only and only for her.

"What do you want to do, Little Bird?" Kenric whispered next to her ear as he ended the kiss, his fire roaming over the thin fabric of her chemise, ready to burn it to ashes too.

"I..." She swallowed, her gaze faltering between the two of them as she tried to find words. "All this is still so new for me."

A soft chuckle left Kenric’s lips as he placed a feathery kiss against her temple before speaking, "It’s new for us too. This... sharing part. All we want is for you to be happy. So, we will try to learn with time and experience."

His words helped her to relax and a small smile blooms on her lips too. "I... I’m happy... with you all and..."

"And?" Valerius pressed as he made her face him by turning her head in his direction while holding her chin in his hand. His eyes stared deep into hers and instead of making her feel like she was going to freeze, it made her feel like she was melting... into him and because of him.

"And... I like the way you all make me feel." Her gaze lowered as the words finally left her mouth, her cheeks warming up as she felt their intense gazes fixed on her. Handling just one of them at a time was hard enough for her, but now she had both her hands filled, it was almost driving her crazy.

"Seems like Damian is still included even though the two of you are not on good terms at the moment." Kenric’s voice held a teasing tone as he pointed out her inclusion of the Second Lord even though he wasn’t present there.

A gasp left her lips when she felt fingers slowly tracked down from her shoulders to her collarbone and abdomen - singeing the fabric in their wake, allowing freedom to her breasts.

Kenric took a deep breath before exhaling slowly, his breath feathering across her skin and causing her to shiver as his mouth lingered over one of her nipples that were already standing erect.

"Kenric..."

"Valerius..."

Both their names escaped her lips, the former’s when she finally felt his lips descending over her nipple, and the latter’s when she felt his hand slipping down her stomach to the apex between her legs which was yearning for attention the most.

Valerius sealed her lips in a deep and passionate kiss as his fingers flickered over her core which made her arch her body into his touch. Her body was burning in need and the only ones who could satiate her were being playful as they teased her with their touches.

"Please..." The plea left her mouth as she pulled away from the kiss and looked straight into Valerius’ ice-blue eyes. Their bond was filled with life and brimming with the same need and desire that burned through both of them.

Valerius placed a kiss against her forehead before he looked at Kenric who had also pulled his face away from her nipple. A look passed between the two brothers and then she found them moving together at once as Kenric made her lie down on her back on the makeshift bed before he took his place on her right side as his hand returned to play with her breasts.

She felt a soft touch against her thigh and found Valerius hovering over her as he settled down between her legs, causing her to open her legs as he ran his hands up and down her inner thighs.

"Let me make you feel good."
