Chapter 2264

"You would think the Night fae would behorrible and the Light fae glorious. But the opposite is true, isn't it? I can't seem to get past that in my head."

Grace lifted a long supple le g over Daniel's waist, reached between them, and guided his hard cock back to her entrance and pressed her hips and ass down, driving him all the way into her hot and wet depths. She moaned and rocked on him. Daniel's hands slid down her flanks and around to cup her fi rm ass cheeks and helped guide her motions. His coc k slid into her well-lubricated pussy, still full of his recent orgasm. Grace offered her right nipple to his mouth and held his head in place as he suckled and nipped at the hard nub.

"I love your cock. It's perfect. Fuck me, Daniel,and stop worrying about the nature of the fae."

Daniel lay still under Grace, enjoying her efforts and reaping all the rewards. Her motions on him were practiced and so wonderfully perfect. She moved like a dancer, undulating and writhing, pulling pleasure from where they

were joined.

Grace moved his mouth to her other nipple. "Would you question how a bird flies, or a fishswims? Why question the nature of the fae. It just is."

"I want to understand."

"Shh, just fuck me, Daniel Davies. I rarely getany alone time with you. We've only fucked three times so far today. I want a dozen more..."

"You'll be the death of me, one day..."

Grace rolled over and pulled Daniel with her. He only just managed to stay inside her, helped by her strong legs wrapping around him and holding him in place. He braced himself up on his arms and hands and looked down at her exquisite beauty. Her pussy was hot and wet, and his cock hardened even more inside her. Her dark, steamy eyes bore into his and he could see the open lust in her expression.

Grace wiggled her ass on the bed."Now fuck me hard, Daniel. As hard as you can. I want my pussy bruised and sore! Fill me with your cum!"

"By the gods, I love you, Grace Gales."

Grace grinned up at him."You're a right lucky bastard. Now step it up!”

Daniel growled and mercilessly began to fuck Grace as hard as he could, his thrusts pushing them farther and farther up the bed until her head banged loudly over and over on the headboard. Daniel didn't care. His world reduced to the feeling of his coc k plunging into this exquisite female Night fae body.

"Harder!" she cried out, her nails diggingpainfully into his ass cheeks to pull him in harder against her engorged clitoris.

His mind returning to the present, with his girls still pressed against him, he wished they could return to their life in Whitehaven. Despite the rocky start to their stay there, the last year had been pure pleasure of learning and exploring what they could do as a witch circle. Each day had been a new discovery. He was now a spell caster. He was happily bound in a circle of three of the most powerful witches the Realm had ever seen. Together they were one.

Daniel never thought much about that these days. He was beyond happy for them all, but what he cherished the most was their love and friendship. After most of a lifetime being alone, Daniel could no longer imagine a so litary life. His relationship with all his friends had strengthened him beyond belief, but he also recognised it presented a potential weakness. He knew he would do anything to ensure their safety. Thankfully, they were all strong enough to keep each other safe. But he still worried. It was a constant in his life. Losing any one of his witches would be beyond devastating. He wasn't sure their circle could withstand such a loss.

He shook his head. He had three gorgeous women clinging to him in their sleep. Their combined body heat should have been too much, but somehow, through their bond, it only enhanced their commitment to one another. They were stronger through the closeness. They would always be strong enough. They had to be.

He tried to make sense of his feelings of love for these women. He felt he should be loving one more than the other, but he found it was not possible. He loved them all equally powerfully. Often, he wondered if it was the binding that

made it so. When those thoughts occurred, he pushed them aside. It truly didn't matter to him. He loved that he loved them equally.

It was only when he thought of Grace that he felt any difference in his love. Grace was special to him in a way the circle wasn't. He loved his witches, the bond made it so he had no other choice in the matter, but he had found their love before their circle was formed. He knew it made a huge difference. He searched his own soul as best as anyone could and felt no trepidation. No concerns about his love for his girls. But with Grace it was different, and he realised he loved her for who she was, and not through the power of the circle.

Does that make it more real? he wondered for the hundredth time. Will I ever have to make a choice between the circle and the people I love outside it?

He mentally shrugged. He knew, if it came down to it, his only choice would be his circle. He hoped he would never have to make that choice. He never wanted to have to. It would never be fair to anyone.

No,I will defend all the women I love until my dying breath. No one will ever force a choice on me. Fuck them if they try.

Daniel felt a warmth pass through him. He was certain it was the magic of the phoenix that resided within him. If he didn't know better, it seemed she was pleased with those thoughts.

How about that?

A warm hand slipped over his mouth and pressed down, and Daniel jerked in surprise in the bed and started to react before Grace's smirking face appeared above his, looking down.

He relaxed and smiled up at her when she released his mouth.

"Hey, lover," she whispered. "Want to get out ofhere?”

Daniel nodded."Sure, but how?"

Grace held up a gold key."With this."

"What is that?"

"A key, idiot."

"I know that!"

"Then why ask?"

"Grace. Where did you get that and what does itdo?" Daniel felt his ladies starting to stir.

"Oberon handed it to me the other day."

"Oberon? Why would he do that?"

"I don't know. But he said to say hello to mymother."

"Your mother? Why?"

"Good question. I intend to find out. Come.Wake your girls. The others agreed to let you have one last sexy time before we head out. I've been watching you four for three hours. You're welcome. It's amazing what you accomplished with your hands in manacles."

"The others? Where are they?"

"Waiting near the door this key opens. Come on.

Get up. Wash the sex from your bodies. I can smell it and I'm hungry for my own."

Jasmine stirred on his chest and lifted her face from his shoulder, a thread of drool running from her mouth to Daniel."Daniel, baby? What's going on?"

"We're leaving."

"Oh, goody..."

The gold key also opened the manacles and they had to be reminded by Grace several times to keep it down while they luxuriated in the feel of their freed wrists. For Daniel, he revelled in being able to access his magic again. He had missed it dearly. Magic was a constant in his life now and he knew it spoiled him. He didn't care. His magic was back and that was all that mattered.

It took an hour, but they finally cleaned themselves up, grabbed their belongings, left the room, and followed Grace through the twisted corridors of the Light fae residence. Daniel expected guards to appear at any moment and felt like he was on the edge of a

knife. He trailed the others and kept glancing behind to make sure they weren't being followed. To his surprise and worry, Grace was moving down the corridors with hardly a care in the world.

Thirty minutes later, they met up with the others. Jason, Brian, Bitty and Jennifer were all kitted up and looking anxious. Their faces lit up in relief on seeing them. They all hugged quickly and then Grace stopped before a blank wall.

While Daniel watched, Grace took the gold key and to his amazement, watched her insert the key directly into the stone. A small ripple, like from a pebble in a pond, spread out from where the key magically sank into the stone. Grace turned the key and suddenly the wall disappeared to reveal an open archway with sunlight streaming through. Grace now held the key in mid-air.

From where Daniel stood, he couldn't see past the opening, but he could smell the rich smell of a forest and he could hear the distant chirping of birds. Jasmine had her mouth covered in surprise and was looking out

through the opening. The others looked equally surprised.

Jasmine turned her head to look at Daniel."It's beautiful, Daniel! So much forest! It's so vibrant and alive!"She held out her hand to him and pulled him closer when he took it.

Daniel looked out through the opening and saw a bright clearing of smooth rock surrounded by towering trees. Flowers and bushes surrounded the clearing. Butterflies and other insects swooped and danced in the bright sunlight. Through gaps in the foliage the sky appeared clear and blue.

Amy and Amber gasped and clung to Daniel. Bitty made a happy sound and was the first to step through, quickly followed by Brian and Jason, who pulled their weapons free. Jason marched past Bitty and turned his head to take in his surroundings.

Jennifer didn't look happy."Next time, let those who can fight step through first, Bitty." She had her sword drawn and quickly stepped through the opening. Bitty didn't appear to be listening and had squatted to examine a flower.

Grace beckoned at the opening to Daniel."Go on through, all of you."

Daniel and the girls stepped through together. Daniel was certain he felt a shimmer of magic as he stepped though. Almost like putting your hand in a basin of water. As he stepped though his ears popped a little and he stretched his jaw.

His head swivelled as he looked around the clearing. All around them were majestic trees towering hundreds of feet above them. They were the largest trees he had ever seen. The trunks were easily twenty feet across. When he looked back toward the doorway he watched as Grace stepped through, turned, and put the key into the opening and turned it again.
