Jessica's Handfasting: A Surprise

Nate's POV

"Do you know how hard it is to set up a reception with a nursing child?" Valkyrie pouted as she switched Aiden to the other breast.

Loki knelt in front of her, "You don't have to do this all the time, ástvinur. We have milk and we can help." She put her hand on his cheek and nodded wearily. She handed Aiden to Loki and took a moment to catch her breath.

We had all been nervous about his delivery after the struggles she had with Zoe, but surprisingly his had been the easiest birth so far. From the moment her water broke to delivery, it was less than two hours. However, Aiden took after his father and was a handful. When he got upset, he would have bursts of magic. One morning Zoe took away his favorite toy and he turned the nursery into an ice palace. It took most of the guys all day to defrost the room because they couldn't undo the little guy's spell. Of course, the older kids loved the idea of an indoor skating rink and tried to convince us to leave it.

Now with Jessica's handfasting only a few days away, Valkyrie was wearing herself thin trying to be the perfect hostess. I love the woman, but she didn't know how to do anything in moderation. I swear she and Gabe are two sides of the same coin. Our home had been transformed. Fairie seemed to love the idea of a Midsummer wedding because the very walls of the palace were crawling with flowery vines.

A loud scream had us all dashing down the hallway to find Jessica in tears holding her dress. Valkyrie stepped into the room and knelt next to her, "Sweetie, what's wrong?"

"It...it doesn't fit anymore," she sobbed. I exchanged a look with Gabe and he nodded.

"Uh, guys, why don't we give them a minute," I said, shooing everyone out of the doorway and hall. Valkyrie, do you need us to fix the dress? I asked her telepathically.

Not yet, mo lochlannach. She doesn't know yet. Can you send Erica in, oh and um, tell her please - but not Kota. The last thing we need is an overprotective big brother.

I chuckled, Sure love, I'll take care of it. I pulled Gabe off to the side, "Hey, I need to go and talk to Erica. Valkyrie says Jess doesn't know yet."

He laughed, "Damn, better you than me."

"Wait, what?" I asked.

He groaned, rolling his eyes, "You are about to go tell Erica that her baby is pregnant before getting married. Nate, you couldn't pay me enough to have that conversation." My eyes went wide - oh fuck me. "You didn't even think about it when she asked, did you?" I shook my head. "Yeah, all these years, and we are still wrapped around her little finger," he laughed.

I heard that Gabriel, now you can go help him - she growled in our minds. Besides, I seem to remember someone else getting pregnant before marriage, she hummed. I burst out laughing at the look of pure fear that crossed his face. I'm not sure if he's more afraid of telling Erica or defying Eveleen.

We headed over to Uncle and Erica's cottage, and I knocked on the door, hoping against hope that they weren't home. No such luck - Uncle opened the door. "Hey boys, what can we do for you?" he asked with a wide grin.

"Uh, we need to talk to Erica, um it's, ahh, about Jessica," Gabe stammered. Uncle's expression got serious and he led us into the front room where Erica was playing with Ayiana.

"Love, the boys need to talk to you about Jessie," Uncle told her.

"What's wrong?" Erica asked.

"Um, well, she's crying and says her gown doesn't fit. Valkyrie is with her now. She says you need to come talk to her," I told them. Erica and Uncle exchanged a look. "You already know," I said, slapping my face.

"Of course I know, I'm her mother and a nurse for goodness sake," Erica said with a snort. "I take it Eveleen wants me to come and help break the news to her?"

"Yes, please," Gabe said, "Just make her stop crying. I can't handle seeing any of you three cry." He's such a pushover when tears are involved. Lochlyn has learned she can get away with anything if she just cries. Erica just laughed and handed Ayiana to Uncle. She followed us back to the palace and knocked on the door where Jess and Eveleen were. We walked away as quickly as possible. It was a few hours later when the three women came into the room, eyes slightly red, but no more tears.

Valkyrie sat in my lap. "All good," I asked, kissing her head.

She nodded and sighed, "She's in shock. She wants to surprise the boys at the reception, so no telling anyone else." She gave me a stern look that made me smile.

"Yes, dear," I said and pulled her in for a kiss. "You know, you'd look amazing pregnant again," I whispered in her ear, then ran my teeth across her skin, nipping lightly. She let out a soft moan and wiggled in my lap. I gave a low growl when the smell of her arousal hit my nostrils. My eyes flashed amber as I pulled her across my lap. "Valkyrie," I murmured, "You smell divine right now, love."

"Mo lochlannach," she moaned as her hips ground against me, "Take me somewhere private."

That was all the encouragement I needed. With my arms wrapped firmly around her, I teleported us to an empty bedroom minus our clothing. We landed on the bed and I quickly flipped her under me. I trailed my mouth down her body, running my tongue across her wet folds. Her hips arched toward me as she whimpered. I loved the way her body writhed beneath mine. She cried out my name as I sucked and nipped at her clit, then slid my fingers inside her, pushing deep and curling my fingers to hit her g-spot. "Nathan," she panted as her orgasm built, "please."

I hummed against her, not giving her permission. She moaned and bucked against my mouth, begging loudly until I told her - cum. She screamed as her juices flooded and I continued to lap at her core. My wolf, Finn, was pushing to the surface as I climbed on top of her, plunging deep. Her purple eyes held my amber ones, then our mouths crashed together. "I want to mark you, Valkyrie," I growled, "May I?"

She tightened her legs around my waist and turned her neck, "Yes. I'm yours, my love." I felt my canines extend as Finn took control, sinking my teeth deep into her neck. Fuck, it felt amazing. Just like the mate bond with Kota and Luke, it felt like a lock slipping in place that made our soul bond even stronger. I felt her heartbeat begin to match mine and her arousal flooded my senses.

My thrusts became harder as I felt myself begin to knot inside of her for the first time. She cried out as the pressure built to a painful climax. "Shh, my love, just a bit more," I soothed her as I eased my movements, trying not to hurt her. Tears rolled down her cheeks as I kissed her, then felt myself explode inside of her, sending her over the edge as well. "Eveleen!" I roared as I filled her again. Her body shook around me as she whimpered and panted. I rolled onto my back pulling her with me. Our bodies were covered with sweat and we both were out of breath. I ran my tongue over the mark I placed on her neck, just below Kota's. She shivered slightly. "You are so amazing, Valkyrie," I whispered, nuzzling her neck.

She giggled, "Yeah, I'll remind you of that when I'm screaming at you in labor." I blinked, then my eyes went wide. Oh fuck. We just...and I knotted...oh fuck. She burst out laughing at me, "You really didn't think that through did you?" she asked.

"Well...I...um, no, no, I guess I didn't," I admitted. "I didn't realize I'd knot. I mean, it's never happened before."

She cupped my cheek, "You've also never marked me before. I believe the two go together." She kissed my lips softly, "I don't regret a thing, mo lochlannach." She snuggled back down onto my chest and we both took a well-deserved nap.

Jessica's Handfasting: More Surprises

Corey's POV

The air was fragrant with sweet-smelling flowers that clung to the ceilings, walls, and every other surface imaginable. Tallyn and Greer stood at the end of the aisle waiting for Kota to walk Jessica to them. Lochlyn threw petals along the ground as she danced down the aisle ahead of them. She was pure energy and attitude, just like her mother. Dreamgirl sat between Raven and I, squeezing our hands so tightly I thought they were going to break. She'd worked herself into a frenzy over this handfasting and was worried something would go wrong. Of course, I had been worried too when Jessica had broken into tears a couple of days ago and Erica came rushing over. But whatever that emergency was about seemed to have been forgotten, because today, everyone was all smiles and happy tears.

We all stood and watched as Cailleach performed the ceremony. I stroked Eveleen's back as I remembered our own ceremony. It had been rushed and sudden, but it was the most amazing night of my life. Eveleen's eyes were glued to Jessica and her two men, but both Raven and I couldn't take our eyes off her. He trailed his fingers along her neck and shoulders as I continued to touch the skin on her back. She subconsciously leaned into the two of us as we pulled closer to her. I could feel her arousal flowing through the connection and heard Raven whisper into her ear, "You're ours tonight, zhena." Her lips parted slightly as her eyelids fluttered and she nodded.

Suddenly, everyone was applauding as the bride and grooms kissed and came dashing down the aisle headed toward the reception area. Everyone gathered around, some at seats, some standing. Jessica stood and handed Tallyn and Greer identical boxes, then walked to Kota and handed him one. "I need you three to open them at the same time," she said with a huge grin. They did as she asked and the two grooms yelled and grabbed her in their arms, while Kota stood gaping at the tiny onesie in his hands that said "World's Best Uncle". Well, damn, I guess we know what the tears were about now.

The night was filled with lots of food and dancing, but finally, the bride and grooms left for their honeymoon, and the remaining guests also began to leave. Raven came up behind Dreamgirl, wrapping her in his arms, "Come malen'kaya boginya." She leaned against him and nodded, then quickly said her good night to the others as we led her to our room.

When he closed the door, I pushed Eveleen's back against his chest as I pressed against hers. She let out a soft moan when his lips moved across her neck while mine captured hers. We worked in tandem to remove her clothes and move her closer to the bed. "On your knees for us, Dreamgirl," I said in a low voice. She quickly got into a presentation pose on the bed, her head slightly bowed. Once we had both undressed, Raven opened a drawer, removing a blindfold and restraints. My mouth watered looking at both of them - my sexy husband and wife - my everything.

He placed the restraints around her wrists, then placed her on her knees and locked her arms under her knees, leaving her fully exposed to us and unable to move, then he blindfolded her. "No cumming without permission, zhena," he told her.

"Yes sir," she moaned softly as his fingers dipped inside her already dripping folds.

I positioned myself by her head, lifting her chin and running my swollen cock over her lips. She parted them, darting her tongue out, then took my full length in her mouth and throat, making me groan. "Fuck, baby. Such a good girl," I moaned as I began pumping in and out of her lips. She groaned and jerked as Raven plunged into her without warning. He held her hips tightly as he pulled out then slammed in again. Hearing and feeling her cries around my cock plus watching him fuck her roughly sent me over the edge quickly as I filled her mouth. She struggled to swallow my cum as he continued to pound into her. When he roared out his own release she was begging to cum. "Not yet, baby," I told her as we removed the restraints, massaging her wrists. "Tell us what you want, little girl."

She whimpered, "I want you inside me, sirs, both of you."

Raven pushed his thumb in her mouth and she sucked. "Do you want us here, little girl?" he purred against her ear. She shook her head no. He slid his hand to her ass, pressing, "What about here, our dirty girl?"

"No sir, not tonight," she leaned into his touch. "I want both of you here," she said, lowering her hands to her dripping pussy. "Please, fuck me."

I slipped the blindfold off of her, then helped position her over Raven. He let his piercing rub over her clit before sliding inside of her. She moaned and let her head fall back against my shoulder. I followed her movements with my own hips, letting my cock brush against his as she rode him. He growled, "Moy solnechnyy svet, stop teasing us."

I snickered, "Yes sir," as I began to work my cock into her pussy alongside his. They both groaned as I bottomed out inside of her. Our thrusts began to match one another as Eveleen cried out, begging to come. It wasn't until I felt Raven and I tensing that we gave her permission. The room filled with our cries as we spilled into her. She shook as her walls clamped down on us and fell against Raven's chest. I slowly slid out of her and went to start a bath.

After a few moments, he brought her in, lowering her toward me in the water, then got in himself. She clung to me as her eyelids drooped. We carefully washed her, but when my hand brushed against her clit, she squirmed, "More, mo ghrian, I need more." She straddled my lap and began to grind.

I moaned as she sped up, putting her hand beneath the surface and guiding me inside of her. Raven stroked himself as he watched her riding me. He stood and placed his cock at her lips, "Suck me, zhena. You cum when we both cum."

"Yes mo bhéar," she said softly and took him into her mouth. He gripped her hair as she hollowed her cheeks, making him grunt.

"Give our beautiful zhena what she wants, muzh," he grunted, locking eyes with me. He continued to fuck her mouth as he watched me fuck her. It didn't take long for us to cum again.

We cleaned her again, and Raven grabbed her some water and snacks while I dried her off. She barely finished before she fell asleep in my arms. I chuckled as I kissed her forehead, then tucked her into the blankets as Raven climbed in behind me, wrapping his arms around my stomach. "I love you, my muzh."

"I love you too, my husband," I said, kissing his chin.

It had been a few months since Jessica's handfasting and the palace was bustling with preparations for Mabon. Raven, Brandon, North, and I had all been in the UK for an Academy mission and we were eager to get back to Dreamgirl. She'd sent a message to come prepared for a family dinner. I think our girl missed us just as much as we'd missed her.

We all walked in to see her on the floor leaning against Nate's chest with Aiden and the triplets playing with blocks. Her eyes lit up when we came in and she stood then gave each of us a hug and a very welcoming kiss. "I could get used to this type of a welcome, Dreamgirl," I told her, running my hands through her chestnut hair.

She giggled, "I promise to give you a warm welcome every time you return, mo ghrian. Now, go get cleaned up for dinner. Uncle and Erica are coming over as well." We all playfully groaned but did as she said.

Dinner was the usual chaos we expected with eight kids. However, the room fell silent when Nate tapped the side of his glass. "Um, Eveleen has an announcement," he said, clearing his throat, "Actually she has more than one announcement to make." She grinned at him and then handed Raven and me envelopes.

"First, I want to announce that I'm pregnant again," she said and gripped Nate's hand. "Nate already knew," she said, tapping her nose, "courtesy of his wolf. Now, if Corey and Raven could open their envelopes, I think they might be interested in what's inside."

We looked at each other in confusion, and then Raven boomed, "Finally!" as he looked at the sonogram pictures. It clearly showed 3 babies - A, B, and C. I felt the tears slide down my cheeks as I looked up at her. She gave me a smile and held her arms out to me. In seconds, I was crushing her against me as Raven engulfed both of us in his arms. He tried to pull Nate in, but he just shook his head and laughed.
