The Lions and the Lamb: A Tamlin x Rhysand x OC Story

Chapter 18: Restored Peace

Waking up in my mates arms felt like a dream. One where I thought I would wake up on that dirt floor in the cell, in that camp with Elrin and those other males. My breathing became heavy as I tried to reassure myself that I was indeed safe.

Rhysand stirred, waking to see me looking around, dazed with a gleam of fear in my eyes. Tamlin woke but a second after, his large hands clutching my wrists.

"Alanna? Hey, hey you're okay. You're safe." Rhysand shushed me, stroking my cheeks tenderly until I fully woke up.

"Come back, Alanna darling." He cooed, bringing my chin up to look him in those stunning violet and starry eyes.

"Are you alright?" He asked, Tamlin asking the same. I looked at both of them with a calm gaze as I came to my senses before throwing an arm around both of their necks, pulling them close to me. I cried in the crook of Rhysand's neck, holding Tam's hand tightly as he squeezed it back reassuringly. They didn't say anything, as their actions spoke loud enough.

They let me sob for as long as I needed to until they finally took me to breakfast.

❥❥❥

After a large breakfast of crepes, breakfast meats, fresh bread, jam, honey, and eggs, I was satisfied. The one and a half days I spent imprisoned with nothing but old moldy bread felt like an eternity. Time was different there. It was slower. I explained everything to my mates, Lucien also in the room.

"Bastards." Rhysand growled. "I should go back and turn the rest of them into red mist." Tamlin snarled in agreement, a pained yet furious look on both of their faces. Lucien remained neutral, though had a face of pity as he listened to me tell the story.

"Alanna, you were the only one that went. All of the other high lord's valuable individuals stayed with them, glamoured and shielded." Lucien said, still in disbelief at my perceived foolishness. "You should have let us come up with a plan to keep you saf—"

"Enough. You will not lecture her." Tamlin suddenly said, fire in his eyes as he locked his with Lucien's russet. Lucien mumbled an apology, not speaking again for a while.

"I winnowed this gem to Amren, my second, earlier. She said that it is a rare piece, one that was here when the cauldron itself appeared. We all thought it was a mere myth. We should have known better. It's safe now, in a place where no one else will find it and abuse it's power."

"How did he even find it?" I asked under my breath.

"No telling. We suspect that because he was close to Hybern, he had some sort of access to his vault." Rhys explained, looking at Tamlin with caution.

"It doesn't matter now." My blonde mate interjected. "

"He must have had it tucked into his shirt. I didn't see it until you both came." I said, confused still about the whole ordeal.

"It's alright, Alanna. There's no need to focus on it any longer." Rhys kissed my temple, hugging me into his side. I felt his hard length pressing into my flesh, beckoning me. I looked at him with a coy expression, then back to Tamlin.

Rhys caught on quickly, winnowing us upstairs. As he laid me on the bed, he paused.

"Alanna darling, I know you experienced . . . Horrors. Are you okay to even do this?" He asked concerned, tears in his eyes. I looked at Tamlin to see the same expression on his face as he stroked the back of my arm with tentative care.

"I'm okay. I promise. If I wasn't, I'd tell you both. I trust you."

They both nodded, their nostrils flaring at my heady, seductive scent that was now escaping from between my legs. I pushed my dress up myself, spreading my glistening, pink sex as I revealed myself to them. I could have sworn I saw Rhyand's eyes flutter into the back of his head, and Tamlin's cock jump.

Both of them pounced on me, one at my breasts and the other feasting on me. Rhysand looked up into my eyes as he licked across my clit, a smirk on his face.

He sucked my bundle of nerves into his mouth, hollowing his cheeks and letting his molars graze it ever so lightly. Tamlin licked and sucked at my breasts, biting at the nipples gently.

"Please—" I began to beg, wanting, no, needing to fall apart at their hand.

"Go on. Whenever you want, princess." Tamlin purred into my ear, pressing his pink lips into my own.

My climax came quickly, thundering through me incredibly hard, making me close my legs around Rhysand's head. I heard him chuckle sinisterly below, licking my cream from my entrance that leaked down my thighs. I watched as it gathered on the tip of his tongue. He shuddered, moaning as he swallowed it as if it was the most delicious thing he'd ever tasted.

Tamlin moved from my side, getting in-between my legs. He smiled at me as he stroked his length a few times, lining himself up at my core, rubbing his cock up and down my velvety folds. I twitched as the tip hit my over-sensitive bundle of nerves. Rhys chuckled, shushing me.

"Are you sure?" Tamlin asked, concern in his voice. I nodded. "Words, Alanna." He encouraged

"Yes. I'm sure. I know it just you. I trust you."

As soon as I said those sentences, he pushed past my tight ring of muscles. I inhaled sharply, both my mates looking at me with a knowing grin. Rhys softly kneaded at my breasts as Tamlin pulled out, thrusting back in and causing a lewd wet sound to fill the air.

"Are you always this wet for us, Alanna darling?" Rhys teased, slapping my breast gently. I let out a breathy chuckle.

"You already know the answer to that." Tamlin lifted my legs up further, pressing me into a mating press as he pounded harder.

"So good . . ." He commented, grunting like an animal above me. Rhysand reached to rub my swollen clit. I jolted at the contact, my innermost muscles clenching down on Tamlin's ridiculously hard length.

"Do that again . . ." He groaned. Rhys flicked my clit again. "Fuck--she squeezes so tightly."

Suddenly, Rhys got up. "Move. I need to feel." He ushered Tamlin out of the way. I pouted as I felt his cock leave me, eager to be filled once more.

"Don't worry, pricess. Daddy's going to fill you up nice and good . . ." And he did as promised. Rhysand's cock slammed into me.

"Touch her clit." He instructed Tamlin. My blonde mate did as asked, two fingers landing on my clit to rub. My muscles contracted again, squeezing Rhysand's hard member.

"Cauldron--you weren't kidding." He growled, his balls slapping against my ass with a loud slapping noise. Tamlin stood, turning my face to the side so he could slide his cock down my throat. I gagged on it, but carried on to bring him pleasure.

"So close . . ." Rhysand snarled, fucking me faster and faster until I thought I'd ascend to a most unholy dimension. I squeezed my eyes shut, moaning around Tamlin's cock when my orgasm imploded.

I felt and heard Rhys curse, filling me up with his hot seed as Tamlin followed not far after. I swallowed the slightly salty liquid and tried to catch my breath.

My mates pulled out of my holes, collapsing beside me.

"So good. You're so good to us." Tamlin assured, kissing my cheek sweetly.

"You're never getting taken from us again. Never." Rhysand promised, pressing his lips to my own.

After everything that had happened in such a short time, I felt at peace. From Tamlin finding me wounded in the woods that day, meeting Rhysand, fornicating with them both, the horrors that happened with Elrin, I was finally safe. And until the next setback presented itself, I would be glad to lie in a warm bed, my mates on either side of me, drifting off to a pleasant dream world.
