MARA

I inhale the crisp night air, the scent of damp earth and smoldering ash lingering from the battle. My heart thuds in my chest, not with fear, but with a profound sense of relief. After walking several miles from the estate, we are far enough to feel safe, yet close enough to bear witness to the aftermath of my vengeance.

We soon settle around a bonfire, its flickering flames casting dancing shadows across our faces. The warmth seeps into my bones, chasing away the chill of the night and the lingering cold of my past. A small, satisfied smile pulls at my lips, and I say, "It’s finally over." My voice is steady but filled with hope, the weight of the years finally lifted from my shoulders.

I look at each of them, my heart swelling with a tenderness I never thought possible. "There’s really gold," I tell them. "Hidden away in Wlloza’s vault. Enough to change everything. I can show you how to find it."

Lazir shakes his head, a gentle smile softening his usually stern features. "Gold doesn’t matter anymore," he says, his voice carrying a quiet conviction. "All we want is you."

Calo's hand finds mine, his touch reassuring. He looks at me with an intensity that takes my breath away. "Be our mate, Mara," he says, his voice a low, earnest plea. "That can be our reward."

Tears well in my eyes, their words stirring something deep within me. These three minotaurs, once strangers, now feel like the only family I've ever known. They've seen me at my weakest and strongest, and yet, they still want me. They still choose me.

"Yes... yes, I’ll be yours," I say, my voice trembling with emotion. The words come easily, a natural extension of the bond we've forged. Their smiles are bright, their relief palpable.

Garron pulls me into a hug. "You've made us the happiest beings in all the realms, Mara," he murmurs into my hair.

Garron's embrace tightens around me, and I feel the thrum of his heart against my cheek, a steady rhythm that matches my own. His hand cradles the back of my head, his fingers tangling in my hair as he tilts my face upward to meet his. The kiss is fierce and claiming, a celebration of life and a testament to our shared bond. "Mara," he breathes against my lips, the sound of my name on his tongue a sweet whisper in the night.

Lazir's presence looms beside us, his gruff demeanor softened by the tender look in his eyes. He doesn't wait for an invitation; he simply leans in and captures my mouth in a kiss that sears my soul. His lips are firmer, more demanding, as if he's trying to pour every ounce of his being into me. "You're ours now," he murmurs, his voice a low growl that sends shivers down my spine.

Then Calo is there, his youthful energy radiating like the sun. His kiss is a revelation, a melding of passion and innocence that leaves me breathless. His hands cup my face gently, and I can feel the reverence in his touch. "Stay with us forever," he pleads, his eyes shining.

Their lips move over mine in an alternating dance, each kiss a promise, a vow of eternal devotion. And in this moment, I am a cherished companion, a woman loved beyond measure by these three incredible beings.

The fire crackles merrily, casting a warm glow over our faces. The weight of our journey, the trials and tribulations we've endured, seem to dissipate into the smoke that curls toward the starlit sky.

Garron's hand traces the contours of my back, his touch a comforting presence that anchors me to the here and now. Lazir's fingers intertwine with mine, a silent pledge of his unwavering support. Calo's laughter rings out, a joyful sound that echoes the lightness in my heart.

And then, as if by some unspoken agreement, our lips meet in a shared kiss that transcends the boundaries of convention. Four souls entwined in a single moment of pure, unadulterated bliss. The sensation is electric, a rush of desire that courses through my veins and sets my body alight with need.

I am lost in the taste of them—Garron's earthy richness, Lazir's smoky undertone, Calo's sweet innocence. Their tongues explore my mouth with a hunger that mirrors my own, and I surrender to the euphoria that envelops us.

The world around us fades into insignificance as we lose ourselves in the depths of our connection. The fire's warmth is a mere whisper compared to the inferno that rages within me, fueled by the love and passion of these three remarkable creatures who have captured my heart.

As our kiss finally breaks, we remain entwined, our foreheads resting against each other's as we struggle to catch our breath. The bond between us is unbreakable, a testament to the strength and resilience we've discovered together.

Garron presses a gentle kiss to my forehead, his voice a low rumble in his chest. "You are our heart, Mara."

Lazir places a tender kiss on my cheek, his usual stoicism replaced by a soft vulnerability. "You are our soul."

Calo brushes his lips against mine, a fleeting caress that speaks volumes. "You are our everything."

The night wraps around us like a velvet cloak, the stars above winking knowingly as I lay my body down on the soft, moss-covered earth. The ground beneath me is a gentle cradle, contrasting sharply with the hardships we've recently endured. Garron, Lazir, and Calo join me, their massive forms casting long shadows in the firelight.

Garron lies beside me, his presence a comforting heat at my side. He reaches out, his large hand spanning the width of my back as he pulls me closer. His touch is firm yet tender, a reminder of the strength that lies within his grasp. I close my eyes, savoring the feel of his fingers tracing the curve of my spine.

Lazir positions himself at my feet, his nimble hands working their way up my legs. Each stroke of his fingers sends jolts of pleasure through me, and I can't help but arch into his touch. His usual stoicism is replaced by a look of intense focus, his eyes dark with desire as he kneads the muscles of my calves with practiced ease.

Calo stretches out on my other side, his youthful energy replaced by a quiet, reverent awe. His hands explore my body with a gentleness that belies his formidable size, his fingertips barely skimming my skin as he outlines the contours of my hips and waist.

The sensations are overwhelming, each touch igniting a fire within me that threatens to consume me whole. I am acutely aware of every point of contact, every breath that mingles with my own. I open my eyes to find Garron watching me, a low growl of approval rumbling in his chest.

"You're so beautiful," he murmurs, his voice rough with desire. "So perfect."

Lazir's hands still momentarily, his gaze meeting mine. "And all ours," he adds, his voice carrying a possessive tone that sends a thrill down my spine.

Calo's laughter is a soft whisper in the night, his eyes shining with adoration. "The stars themselves pale in comparison," he says, his hand coming to rest over my heart.

And in the quiet stillness of the night, with the stars bearing witness to our love and desire, I know that I have found my place in the world—here, with them.
