  “You can watch it,” I clarified when he moved like he was going to kiss me.

  “Not more?”

  I shook my head. “Not without me talking to Darius and Jaxon first.”

  His eyes flashed shock. “A princess answers to no one and does what she wants when she wants.”

  “Well, I want to respect the men I love and discuss it before being intimate with someone, as they’ve promised to never touch another.”

  “I’ve never known a princess to do that.”

  I shrugged but then wrapped myself around Darius the moment he pulled me away from the noble. “Darius, Darius, the fire. Too hot.”

  “I know, my love,” he moaned, plunging in me as he held me protectively. He jogged with me that way to the elevator, his body moving and fucking me as he did. The others joined us in the elevator, and he only focused on me. Another jog down the hall and he kept going as they got the door open. The second we stepped into our room I climaxed and hard. “Oh fuck, you’re strangling me.”

  “You love it,” I moaned as he laid me on the bed.

  “I do, and I love you,” he whispered. He started with deep, hard but slow thrusts that had me making a noise each time, which he seemed to enjoy. “Are you mine?”

  “Yes. Yours,” I promised.

  “Say it again.”

  “I’m yours, Darius,” I shouted.

  He turned me so I was half on my side, half on my back, playing with my breast as he kissed my shoulder. “Look how much he wants you, Inez.” My eyes locked with the stranger’s who was sitting in the overstuffed chair near the bed that I hadn’t even noticed. “He wants to be the one here taking you. He wants his dick deep inside you.” He chuckled when I moaned. “But he can’t have you, can he?”

  “No.”

  “Not unless we agree.”

  “No,” I panted as he rotated his hips and teased me. “No, no one can have me unless my fiancés agree.”

  “Why do you give us that gift? That power over you?”

  “Because I love you.” I cried out when he started moving faster. “Because you accept me touching others when I won’t. You should get a say in who you’re comfortable with, who I’m safe with.”

  “Because you respect and spoil your nobles more than any princess we’ve known before,” he praised. “What does my princess want?”

  “More.”

  “You heard her. Give her more,” Jaxon taunted the guy. “Take out your cock and show her how hard she made you, that you’re leaking for her.”

  The guy licked his lips and waited until I nodded. He moved his hand over his muscular chest, showing off his chiseled abs as he went lower, and then pulled down the front of his shorts. My eyes went wide as I saw what he had hard for me.

  “Shit, you like what he has,” Darius moaned. “She clenched around me. Stroke it for her.”

  He did, and I knew I clenched again. Fuck. Kristof was probably the biggest dick on the planet. I mean, the thing was a monster I couldn’t take right away without tearing for sure. But this guy… Girth. Just girth. There was no way I’d be able to wrap my lips around it, and honestly, I didn’t think my hip bones would even allow it to be in me.

  Well, babies came out of there, so that might have been pushing it, but seriously, his very large hand seemed to barely fit around it. It sounded like something Asher was saying about monster porn his friends used to pick on before the internet was gone.

  And we were vampires, so yeah, that might fit a bit?

  He moved his hand in time with Darius’s thrusts, and it was so hot and ramped me up that I finished hard and harder, twitching under Darius as he kept going. When he got close, I shocked him and bit his arms, drinking deeply from my fiancé as another man watched with longing.

  “Come for me,” I ordered the stranger when I stopped drinking, licking the bite closed as I watched as his body listened to me. His eyes went wide, and he grunted as his spunk landed on muscles. “That’s hot.”

  “You’re the boss of all of us for sure,” Darius panted, kissing under my ear before saying something under his breath. “Are you still thirsty or itchy now?”

  “Both,” I admitted after a moment. “Why am I so thirsty?”

  “Stress,” a few of them said together, but Cerdic continued. “And you’re growing. You’re getting healthier physically too. Baby vamps take time to grow.”

  “How did you do that?” the stranger asked, gasping for air now that his orgasm was over.

  I snuggled into the bed and smirked at him. “I don’t know, but I want to do it again, don’t you?”

  “Yes. A lot.”

  “Good.” I looked at Darius and licked my lips. “Want to screw me while I tease Cerdic and drink from him?”

  “Yes,” both men answered. So that was what we did. Cerdic moved under me, and I rubbed my pussy against him as Darius took me from behind. Cerdic actually cut his hands and touched my breasts, his eyes full of heat as I moaned and wriggled for them as it pushed up my everything higher.

  This time when we finished I was done and done. I nodded to Kristof to get involved as Jaxon wrapped me in a robe. The stranger would want to know what was going on, and we were being way more careful on who learned things. Jaxon raced me out to the parking lot a few buildings down and blocked from view of the hotel. The second I was on my feet I charged all the semis and vehicles there.

  It wasn’t enough though, and I pulled energy beads from the open top shipping containers that people had scooped up the cars I’d destroyed into. I made another semi from them and sagged against Jaxon.

  “Are you okay?” he worried.

  “Fine, it’s just hard to do right after sex when my body’s already mush.”

  “We do like making you like that,” he teased me. “Sleep, my love. Rest.”

  “And leave you hanging?” I argued.

  He snorted. “I’m a well sated man.” He kissed me when I tried to argue. “I’ll leave something out for you to wear tomorrow. Do that for me so you can rest?”

  “Not the same, but okay,” I agreed, my eyes closing as we got on the elevator. I locked eyes with the stranger as we came back. “I still don’t know your name.”

  His eyes flashed shock and he just blinked at me a moment. “Truly?”

  I nodded, frowning. “Why, should I know you?”

  He cleared his throat as if saying he didn’t want the others to answer me. “My family coven is rather powerful and ranked at the top.” I wanted to shrug, but that seemed rude. “Branko Drango. Most call me Bran.”

  “I like Branko, it’s sexy and suits you.” I glanced at Jaxon as he set me on my feet. “Why is his coven so famous? Or is it infamous like that crazy bitch who has a hundred nobles she abuses?” I swallowed loudly when he winced. “That’s the coven, isn’t it?”

  “Yes, that is my mother’s coven,” Branko chuckled.

  “Great, I know stuff about like four covens and still step in it.”

  “No, you didn’t because I think that’s still a rather kind way to describe my insane mother and family,” he told me. “I would say much else but not with others around.”

  “Well, I’m not alone with nobles until engaged,” I told him firmly, wanting that to be the real rule if it would help keep me safe.

  He gave a slow nod. “Let me know the second you’re open to having a new noble court you.”

  “Really, Branko? You would consider it?” Kristof challenged.

  “The same could be said for you, Kristof,” he threw right back. “Hell, you would have been first on my list before me of never courting a princess.” He nodded at me. “She is not just any princess.”

  “We know,” the others said, and I flushed, which made them happier as I wasn’t doing it as much as when I’d first met Darius.

  I shook my head as I headed for the bathroom to clean up and my nightly routine. “I warned you guys if you kept trying to make me blush that you’d make me used to it all and I would stop doing it all the tim
e.”

  “Yes, but I got you when you did and even most of your firsts,” Darius breathed in my ear as his arms slid around me.

  “And yet, I didn’t get any of yours so don’t be too spoiled with that,” I warned.

  “You got so many of my firsts, my love,” he argued. “First non family princess I fed. First princess to bleed on me.” He snickered. “First multiple orgasms, and you’ve done that a few times. First person who could order me to orgasm for them. First woman I’ve felt so at home with when I slept next to them, hated to leave when she slept.”

  “You’re still spoiled.”

  “I never denied that.” He snorted as he let me go, watching me with a gaze full of love as he did.

  Because he knew I would always come back to him.

  Cerdic

  I was sitting in the hotel’s restaurant we were using as our cafeteria basically, enjoying a second cup of coffee and waiting for my princess… While trying not to strangle Dennis. I hated the little fucker—always had—because my sister had gotten worse and more selfish after meeting him, and in my heart I had felt she would have grown up and become the woman I knew she could have been.

  She should have.

  I about swallowed my tongue when Inez came storming in wearing deep pink ruffled panties that didn’t cover her firm, lush ass and a strip of something the same color over her tits. And it covered maybe even less.

  “You are pushing it, Jaxon,” she growled as she stopped in front of him. “I said you could pick out what I wore, not lose your mind and pick stuff like this when we’re not lounging on a beach. It’s cold out still, and I cannot go out like this in public.”

  Jaxon cleared his throat, having the same reaction that many of us there had. “My love, you are out in public right now.” He smiled when she winced. “And I didn’t mean for you to only wear that, I swear it. I started to lay it out, but then Kristof called me to check something and I forgot.”

  She frowned. “You forgot you were excited to dress me? I think that’s almost worse.” She spun on her heel and stormed right back out. “I’m not wearing anything for you anymore if you’re so fucking spoiled you could forget so easily. Clearly I’m being too nice with rewarding you.”

  “Wait, Inez, that’s not what I meant,” he worried as he chased after her. “Please don’t stop spoiling me.”

  “Well, that was breakfast and a hardon,” James grumbled from down the table.

  I wasn’t the only one who snorted, more than willing to suffer through the hardon to have seen that. She came back wearing a sexy mint green thick knit dress that was a bit shorter than normal, low cut, and with long sleeves. She was still sticking firm to no heels in the apocalypse, but she’d let us add to her shoe collection.

  And was currently wearing the black stretch over-the-knee boots I’d picked for her. Damn, they looked better than I’d even pictured on her sexy legs.

  I couldn’t take my eyes off of her as she hurried to fill her tray. Then she took in a slow breath and went over to Kristof who was down the table from me as well.

  “Can I join you?”

  “Of course,” Kristof agreed, able to hide his shock well, but I’d seen the twitch.

  And then she sat on his lap. She set down her tray and sat on his thigh like it was completely natural, even moving his free arm around her so his hand rested on her hip like she was clicking in her seatbelt.

  Kristof swallowed loudly, understanding she wanted others to see this and maybe pushing him a bit. “Good morning, My Princess.” He leaned in and gave her cheek a soft kiss. “You look amazing in that.”

  She flushed, making my dick twitch again. “Thanks. Did you manage any sleep?”

  I bit back a laugh. She couldn’t seem to really get we didn’t need the sleep, lumping us in with human insomniacs like we weren’t sleeping more because we just couldn’t. We could lie there, but after an hour or so, I couldn’t sleep because I didn’t need it.

  “I did, thank you,” he muttered. “You?”

  She rubbed her cheeks when she flushed darker. “Like a log. I was nice and tired out for sure.”

  “And your body?” he asked quietly but so she could hear, which meant a lot of us could as well.

  “It’s a nice ache,” she answered with a smirk as she lifted her mug. “Thanks for the fun. I want to play that game again.” She flinched when several of us choked, thinking she meant fucking with Branko. “I mean playing in the pool. That was fun and I couldn’t catch my breath even.”

  “It was nice to see you smile so much.” He shot Dennis a warning look she didn’t catch, as if making it clear anyone else who tried to upset her had to go through him.

  A sentiment I would make clear I agreed with.

  “So I wanted to, um, discuss something?” she asked him so hesitantly my heart hurt for her. She was trying so, so hard to not be scared of him and others, which was admirable after what she’d been through, but I could see she was shaking and that hurt me.

  “Of course, anything,” he said gently, kissing her hair. “What does my princess need?”

  “I was hoping maybe you could switch with Sebastian for a while today? I wanted to discuss something with him and Cerdic without all the ears so I thought he could join us to do that thing.” She frowned. “Wait, does he count as a chaperone if he’s not my noble?”

  “Yes, as he is related to your fiancé,” he explained. “Now be careful with siblings because that is sometimes seen as an invitation for more, but a parent or noble from a parent’s court is acceptable.”

  I swallowed a wince, thinking of her even near my asshole twin or other siblings. Shit, that made me nauseous.

  “Got it, thanks. So is that cool?”

  “Whatever my princess needs of me.”

  She frowned. “Thanks, but I’m asking if that doesn’t mess you up today.” She reached up and moved her fingers over his mouth. “You can agree to do it because your princess needs it, but maybe tomorrow is better. This is how couples talk, discuss things, and communicate well together.”

  He kissed her fingers. “Yes, today works fine as long as it’s before dinner. I planned after to scout out the progress in Prince George.”

  She nodded and started eating, her skirt sliding up higher when she leaned over her tray. “How about you find somewhere fun in Prince George for us to have a fun raiding date? Darius and I got those bows when we did that. Maybe we could find something fun like that or just play.” She shot him a look. “The nondirty kind.”

  His lips twitched. “Of course. Maybe a vet so we can take care of the cats who will join us.”

  She burst out laughing, her voice echoing magically in the restaurant. “That’s not funny, I promise, it’s not. It’s just he said it so seriously and…” She sucked in a big breath and tried to calm down, looking over at her knights. “I woves you guys so hard, you know that. I just had a picture of Simon fighting to get shots or a bath like those pictures of soaked, pissed house cats.”

  “We bite,” Simon grumbled, but looking just as amused.

  She was mostly quiet as she ate, Kristof too as he finished, and I thought it was a good step for them to simply be a bit and get used to each other besides all the ups and downs. When they finished she leaned in and kissed his cheek. “I’ll see you for dinner then?”

  “Yes, thank you for joining me.”

  “Thank you for the hip massage,” she murmured as she flushed again. Shit, she was too delicious.

  I slipped behind her a few minutes later as she set down her tray and thanked the kitchen. “Love, could you do your thing for me?” I slid the smartphone in her hand as she turned, wanting to do it when she wasn’t really focused and might ask why I needed one. I leaned down so our lips were almost touching, loving that she would always give a soft gasp before she closed the distance and kissed me.

  And she did. “Good morning.”

  “Morning.” I gave her a wink when she handed me back the smartphone
and tucked it away. Then I hugged her, letting my hands wander. “That was a lovely show earlier. I liked the panties and how thick you’re getting.”

  She shoved at my chest and couldn’t move me, but I leaned away as if she had. “Are you saying I’m getting fat?”

  “What? No, no,” I muttered.

  She gave me a hurt look. “Am I eating too much?” She ducked out of my arms and went over to the mirror. “Am I too heavy for these boots?”

  “No, love, your bum is more lush now,” I explained, wanting to groan when she turned and looked, frowning.

  “So too much padding?”

  “Oh bloody fuck,” I groaned when she smacked it to see if it was too soft. “Please stop doing that.”

  “Why?” she asked, completely serious and not getting it as she blinked up at me. “I wanted to see if it jiggled too much. I don’t know what that looks like though. I was always starved thin.” She flinched and looked at me with hurt again. “Am I not pretty if I’m not that thin?”

  I grabbed her and kissed her quiet, letting out all of my feelings I swallowed too often to not scare her. She moaned as my tongue ran over her lips and into her mouth. When I pulled away, she was breathless with that glazed look that made me want to do everything dirty to her.

  “Love, you are gorgeous. Thick and lush are good as women should have curves. You were too thin before. I’m trying to say I like your fuller booty and breasts. Healthy is a good look on you. Your stomach is still flat. You are not remotely overweight.”

  She nodded but then winced. “Sorry, I totally reacted like a bratty girl, didn’t I?”

  “I like that you do and care enough to worry over what I say.”

  “I do care, but I didn’t mean to sound so shallow.” She glanced at her ass in the mirror again. “Maybe we should add some other workouts to our tai chi? I’ve been having fun training with the leopards.”

  “I will give you a thorough exam later and draw up a workout plan based on if I find any underworked muscles or areas to tighten.”

  Her eyes went wide as the meaning of what I was saying sank in. “Maybe. We’ll see how good you are. I’m going to go find Sebastian before he heads out and we can go.”
