Page 22 of Mayhem's Magic

Glancing at my paint splattered dress, I shrug. “It is when I am most myself. Besides when I am with you and Hale, that is. It’s interesting, we cannot figure out if they’re the same as us. Thorn seems to be drawn to fire. Hale to water. Grey is still making up her mind, I think.”

“They’re perfect. They will always have us, and they will always have each other.”

Turning to him as we sneak away into the darkness of the woods, I smile as he draws me close. I tilt my head back, waiting for the kiss I see him craving. His big hands grasp my hips, and he picks me up, forcing my legs around him. Smiling, I start toying with his horns, knowing how much he likes it.

“Behave, little flame. Little eyes, little ears, they will know what mommy and daddy are doing,” he whispers even as he kisses a hot path down my throat.

“No, they will not. Bessi just took them inside to bake cookies,” I tell him, seeing it even as it happens. It’s nice to have a built-in mom-dar. Seeing and hearing what they’re doing what they feel, it has made being a mom a little easier.

“Oh, I love when they bake,” he hums, his tail sliding between my thighs. He growls when he finds I have no panties on. His tail slaps at my pussy and I cry out. Gods, I love that tail. Having it tease me when he’s inside me, licking at my tits or even pushing inside my ass, it’s got a mind of its own. Not that I mind.

“Mmm, so do I, Mayhem. It’s mommy and daddy time,” I purr as I kiss his jaw, his mouth, lowering my mouth to his ear. “Because...mommy and daddy will have no time in about...six months. Daddy is getting his own little Demon.”

Pulling back, Mayhem stares up at me. His dark eyes, golden today because he is happy, shimmer with tears. Yeah, he might be a Demon and have spent several lifetimes in Hades, but he is a husband and a father first.

“You’re...we’re...another baby? A little boy?”

“Yes. This little castle of ours will be full soon. Three boys, three girls,” I whisper with a huge smile. It is just what we all want. Another generation, another set of Nymphs, of witches, of shapeshifters, even Demons.

“Three more babies. We’re so blessed. A little boy. He will be my little Demon,” Mayhem beams up at me before his eyes darken.

“Yes, my big Demon,” I hum, knees pushing at the kilt he wears.

Growling, his chest vibrating with it, he pins me to a tree and sinks his teeth into my mating mark. I moan as it lights our bond on fire. He thrusts up as he pulls me down, sinking deep inside of me. I shudder as pleasure begins to roil over me, making my entire body shake.

“I love you Cari,” he whispers against my mouth as he claims me, our bodies shaking as he thrusts again and again.

“Yes, I love you. I love you, Mayhem. My Mayhem.”

We make love until we’re sated, which takes hours. I lead him to the closest spring where we strip and get in. He is gentle with me as he rubs his huge hands over my belly, telling me how excited he is to have another baby.

“We’re going to build such a beautiful family, little flame,” he coos as we wade in the warm water as a breeze warms our skin.

“Yes, we’re so blessed. Our babies will be so strong together. They will never have to be alone. Never have to ear anything. You said I was the magic, that it was always me...but I think it was always you.”

“Impossible. I was a sinner. A killer. I would have never gotten out of Hades if not for you. For your magic. You’re the magic, my little flame.”

It doesn’t matter whose magic got us here. We’re here, living the most beautiful life with the most beautiful family. I am not alone. My sisters are not alone. We’ve got the sweetest, cutest babies in Moon Haven, the most devoted husbands, and on top of it all, we’re magic.

Magic is what brought us together and it is what will keep us all together, forever.
