Rebirth: 100 Days Before Doomsday

"Having fun without us?" Dr. Kian's familiar voice cut through the haze, laced with amusement and something darker.

Beside him, Davian was leaning against the doorway with his arms crossed and a soft smile playing on his lips. Both men's gaze were fixed on Grace and it was only after she acknowledged their presence did they turn to look at Rune.

The latter groaned, letting his head fall back. "You two really need to work on your timings."

Dr. Kian smiled at his words and both he and Davian walked into the living area, closing the distance.

Grace sighed and sat up straighter but made no move to leave Rune's lap. "If you are done being dramatic…"

"We are just curious," Dr. Kian said, his voice a little too smooth. "About why our girlfriend was lip-locked with her pretty men and forgot about us."

Rune smirked at that. "Jealous?"

Grace noticed how Davian's already dark green eyes darkened even further as he stepped closer and admitted. "Very."

She looked between her three men, and then burst into laughter. This time, she finally climbed down from Rune's lap and stood up to face the other two. "What am I going to do about you three?" She shook her head while speaking.

Before she could have thought or done something else, a pair of strong and muscular arms surrounded her from behind, pulling her into a back hug. Then, she heard Rune's voice next to her ear. "There's a lot you can do with us."

Her heart missed a beat at his suggestive tone and words. She didn't need him to voice out the exact words to know what he was trying to imply.

Her eyes met Davian's first. He didn't say a word, he didn't need to. His gaze was speaking volumes. Possessive. Starved. Hungry.

Then she turned to Dr. Kian who was standing just a few steps away. His normally calm, doctorly expression was now replaced with something far more primal. He pushed a hand through his hair and exhaled slowly as if trying to restrain himself.

"I do find this idea pleasing," Dr. Kian whispered as he closed the remaining space between them, coming to stand right in frontnof her.

Right at that moment, Rune brushed his fingers down her spine, making her inhale sharply at the sensation.

But before things could have progressed further, Davian decided to speak. "Let's not make the decision ourselves. She might want to rest after the long hunt today and-"

"You are standing way too far, Love." She intervened before he could finish speaking, and once he heard her words, the last thread of his control snapped.

Before Grace could have even realized it, he closed the distance between them. His hand then reached out to cup the back of her neck and she was pulled into a kiss that froze her for a moment before throwing her into a mass of sensations.

It was one of the most intense kisses she had received from these guys, and she had received a lot of those to behin with. It was heated, filled with all his desire that was pouring out in a single breath.

His lips moved against hers with practiced ease, coaxing her mouth open as he deepened the kiss. His free hand slid to her waist, pulling her close to his body.

She sighed into the kiss, resting her hands on his chest and feeling the rapid beat of his heart. His kisses always felt like he was trying to brand her - like she belonged to him, and he needed her to know it.

She was still lost in him and his kiss when she felt a warm touch pressing to the back of her neck.

The softest moan possible escaped past her lips, and got sucked by Davian, as she felt Rune's lips brush behind her ear, then down the slope of her neck. His voice was a low whisper against her skin as he spoke. "You taste like ice when you are with him."

The shiver that ran down her spine was immediate.

She broke the kiss with Davian just long enough to gasp softly as Rune's arms wrapped around her from behind. His lips traveled slowly along her shoulder, his teeth grazing her skin.

Then, Dr. Kian finally stepped forward, closing the last breath of space left between them. And as he reached out, she turned to him.

"Kian," she whispered.

"Don't speak," he murmured. "Just feel."

His kiss was slow, but it still stole her breath. Unlike Davian's intensity or Rune's sensual control, Dr. Kian kissed her like he was memorizing her. His hand cupped the side of her face, the pad of his thumb brushing her cheek tenderly as his mouth moved with hers.

When he deepened the kiss, her knees almost buckled. But Rune was still behind her. His arms around her kept her in place while he continued to place lingering kisses to the nape of her neck.

"It's good to see the doc finally losing his calm." He whispered and the smile in his voice was loud and clear.

"You aren't alone." Davian added to everyone's, especially Dr. Kian's, surprise. He threaded his fingers with Grace's as he placed a kiss on the exposed part of her left shoulder.

Grace didn't know where one touch ended and another began. She was surrounded, cocooned in her men's presence, their heat.

Davian's lips turned to her jaw while Dr. Kian was still kissing her, and then there was Rune whose hands had started exploring her sides and arms with care and expertise, grounding her in a moment that felt too surreal to be real.

When the kiss with Dr. Kian finally broke, he leaned his forehead against hers, breathing heavily. "Tell me to stop," he whispered, though his voice was hoarse and strained. "And I will."

Despite his words, she knew that stopping was the last thing he wanted, or any of them wanted. But she also knew that the moment she would ask them to stop, they would. But, she didn't want to stop.

She touched his chest, placing her fingers over his rapidly beating heart. "I don't want you to stop."
