“Why in Danu’s name do four hot as fuck men have a huge section of rom-coms?”
I chuckled at the look she gave me. “Would you believe me if I said those were Bastien’s?”
“Uh, no. You, on the other hand, I can see having a secret love affair with rom-coms.”
“Brat,” I laughed when she flashed a cheeky grin at me. “You caught me, they’re mine,” I added.
“Oh. My. Gods. You have The Goonies? I haven’t seen that in forever! I used to watch it all the time!”
“Well then, Doll, let’s put it on.” I cued it up, got us both something to drink from the fully stocked fridge, made some popcorn, and then led her to the sofa so we could curl up together.
“You know, I think you secretly have a very sweet side, Daxian Mordecai. Although, given your skill with paint I’m not all that surprised. You are a really talented artist.”
“Thanks, Doll. I’m glad you like the paintings.”
I pulled her close, dimmed the lights, and started the movie.
Arianna
The movie was a little over half over when I tipped my head up to place a kiss on Dax’s jaw. I’d been surprised when he’d brought me to a fully equipped theater room. I’d half expected him to just take me to his bedroom because I knew he was still fighting the erection I’d caused earlier.
“What was that for?” came his purred question.
“Just because.” I kissed his jaw again before I moved my lips closer to his. I kissed the corner of his mouth and that seemed to break his control.
I found myself on my back, pinned to the sofa.
“Careful, Doll. You’re playing with fire.”
“Fuck being careful, Dax. I see you, and I want you—all of you.” I traced his jaw with my fingertips. “I heard a rumor once that shifters can enlarge certain parts of their body at will. Is that true?” I leaned up and nipped his lips. “Can you make your cock bigger while it’s pounding into me?”
His growl sent a thrill down my spine and my panties were instantly wet. That definitely turned him on.
“Looks like you’re going to find out, Doll.”
My breath caught when his fingernails turned to claws. He slid one razor-sharp claw down the center of my shirt, cutting it from neck to waist, and then he snapped it against the middle of my bra, freeing my breasts.
“Beautiful. Fucking beautiful,” he growled before he dipped his head and took a nipple in his mouth. His teeth pinched, just a little, and he tugged, which made me gasp.
“Fuck, Dax. Do that again, please.”
“You are the perfect mate, Kesah. I want you naked. Strip for me, but make it a show.”
When he moved so I could get up, I stood. He pressed a button and the movie was no longer playing in the background. In it’s place was music.
I closed my eyes and let the beat take me before I began to move. My ruined shirt slid down my arms, followed my bra, and I let them fall to the floor. I opened my eyes to watch his face as I trailed my hands across my stomach and up to my breasts. I kneaded them, pinched my nipples, and tugged the tight peaks until I moaned.
Again, I caressed my body, and moved my hands up to release my hair from the bun I’d put it in that morning. I shook my head and let my hair cascade down, some of it covering my breasts so my nipples played peekaboo.
With my eyes locked on his, I slid my hands down to the waist of my leggings. I gripped them and slowly, ever so slowly, eased them down my hips. I bent, giving him a perfect view of my breasts, as I slid the leggings down my legs and finally removed them. When I stood back up, the only thing covering me was a pair of lace panties.
My hand teased along the waistband of my panties before I parted my legs a little and slid a hand inside. My moan told him that I was teasing my own folds.
“Finger yourself, Doll,” he growled at me.
I tilted my head back and slid two fingers into my weeping pussy. Whimpers escaped me and I wanted so badly to come.
“Stop.”
At the command in his voice, I removed my hand and offered my fingers to him. He sucked them into his mouth and I shuddered. “Delicious. I’ll be it’s even better straight from the source.”
He gripped my hips and pulled me to him. His fingers gripped both sides of my panties and he ripped them before tossing them to join the rest of my clothes.
Then he guided me onto my back on the sofa again. He slid two fingers into me and pumped them slowly, almost lazily. His thumb periodically caressed my clit and I whined. My hips began to move with his fingers, and just when I thought he was going to push me over, his fingers stilled.
“Dax?”
“You didn’t think I was going to make it that easy for you, did you, Doll? All the teasing, it’s time for a bit of payback.”
I panted as he began the slow, leisure thrusts again. Each time he pushed me to the edge, he stopped. After the eighth time of being denied, I couldn’t stop myself. “Dax.. please…oh Gods, please…”
“Please what?”
“Please, please, please let me come.”
“I love hearing you beg, Kesah,” he growled before he moved down and buried his mouth between my needy thighs.
My hands went to his hair, fingers gripping, and my hips bucked against his hungry mouth. When he thrust three fingers into my pussy while his lips sucked my swollen clit, my entire body shook and I screamed with my orgasm.
I was still trying to relearn how to breathe when I heard the faint sound of foil tearing followed by the tip of his cock pressing into me.
“Open your eyes, Doll,” he growled.
My eyes snapped open and I watched as he thrust into me. My walls were still twitching in little aftershocks of pleasure and we both groaned.
“Gods, you feel so fucking good.”
A smirk lit up his eyes and I knew he was about to really make me pay for all the teasing. After a few thrusts, I felt it. I felt his cock swell inside me, stretching me, and I gasped.
My fingers gripped his shoulders even as my hips arched to meet his deep thrusts. I’d never felt so full in my life.
“Mark me, Doll. You know you want to,” he growled.
My hands slid down his back and my nails raked his skin. I screamed with a second orgasm, but he wasn’t done. He pulled out long enough to put me on my hands and knees, and then he thrust into my again. He leaned down, draping his upper body over mine as his cock hit deep inside me.
My inner walls started to clench and I knew a third orgasm was coming. My head dropped down, hair falling to cover my face and baring my neck and shoulder.
It was in that moment his cat took over. I felt a slight shift and then teeth gripped my skin.
“Mark me, Dax. Let others of your kind know I’m yours,” I whispered.
His rumbled purr told me those were exactly the words he’d needed. I felt the pain of his teeth as they tore into my skin, but even as he bit me, he thrust hard and the pain mixed with pleasure until I crashed over the edge into orgasm.
My inner walls clenched around him, and as he tore his mouth from my shoulder, he roared his pleasure.
Dax managed to turn us so we collapsed on our sides with him spooning me. His cat’s tongue lapped up the blood trickling from his bite and he purred in contentment.
I snuggled back into his embrace and my eyes felt heavy.
“Sleep, Doll. No one will bother us.” He tugged on a blanket that hung over the back of the sofa and draped it over us.
I felt his lips against my ear and gave up the fight to stay awake. “M’kay,” I mumbled and let sleep claim me.
Chapter 13
Zaine
“Thank you for trying.”
I hung up the phone and had to resist the urge to throw it against the wall.
I’d spent the last four hours talking with different contacts, each one trying to track down even the tiniest clue to Arianna’s family, and all I’d gotten from it was a massive headache.
I rubbed my temples and s
ighed. We were going to have to take a trip. We needed to get answers before we had to take her in front of the Council.
That was another thing I was worried about. If she has trouble controlling her power when she meets with Council members, it could get dicey, especially given her anger over her mother’s accident.
“I take it you’ve not had any luck?”
I looked up to see Calix leaning against my door frame. “Every contact I have came to a dead end.”
“So what now?”
“Now we go to the source.”
“You mean our parents. That’ll be interesting.”
“Yes, I mean your parents. With all the secrets and lies, and then the car accident, I don’t know how this is going to play out. Do you want to come with us?” I was giving her the opportunity because these were her parents, too. She might not know anything about them, but they did bring her into this world.”
“I wouldn’t fucking miss it. When do you plan on leaving?”
“This evening. That will put us at their doorstep by morning. It will also give us just enough time to get some answers and get back here to prepare Ri for meeting the Council delegates the day after.”
“You know she’s going to freak the fuck out on the Council, right? She blames them for the accident that took her—our—mother’s legs, even if the council felt it was justified punishment for their duplicity.”
“I am aware, Calix. If you’re done, I have business to take care of.”
“Hey, don’t snap at me because you’re in a shitty mood, Zaine. It’s not my fault my sister is mentally unstable.”
I was at her side in a flash, my hands around her throat. “Don’t ever belittle her again. We all knew her power would be erratic once it was unbound, because it’s been kept locked away for twenty-five years,” I snarled.
“I suggest you move your hand from her throat unless you want me to rip it off.”
I glanced behind her to where Reylen stood. I released Calix and stepped back.
“I guess you could say I’m still a little pissed at her for this morning. She could have killed Reylen. I thought Bastien worked with her on mental attacks.”
“He did. Maybe she’s right. Maybe we’re throwing too much at her at once.”
“After the Council meeting, she should be able to relax a few days. Let us know when you’re ready to head out.”
“Sure. Sorry I lost my temper, Calix.”
She shrugged at me. “It happens to us all. No big deal.”
“We leave in two hours.” I watched her and Reylen leave before I went in search of Bastien and Malik. At least I knew Dax and Arianna were most likely still in the theater room.
It took me twenty minutes to track down Malik. He was in the training room, taking his frustrations out on one of the punching bags we had hanging in the gym area.
“Have you been in here ever since the debacle with Tanyth and Reylen?”
“I should have been in the circle with them. I could have stopped her from almost killing Reylen. You and I both know if he hadn’t been half Demon, he’d be dead right now.”
“We didn’t expect it to be so intense. We were all caught off guard by the strength she has. Once she learns to control her power, she won’t be as unpredictable.”
“I don’t want her working with anyone else. I don’t give a fuck what the Council says. I won’t let her be put in that position again, Zaine.”
“You won’t get any arguments from me. There’s a reason I was looking for you. You need to be ready to leave in an hour. None of my contacts were able to find anything so we’re taking a little trip.”
“Oh, goody. We get to meet the fuckers who bound her magic and lied to her all her life.”
I saw his demon form shimmer and I put a calming hand on his shoulder. “Easy, Brother. She’s going to need all of us to keep our tempers in check.”
“Yeah, yeah. I know. I’ll be fine. If you’re looking for Bas, he said he was going to meditate.”
“Thanks. See you in an hour.” I left him to get his anger under control and went to the solar where I knew Bas would be. It was the only place in the compound he went to when he wanted to meditate.
I stepped into the room and enjoyed the sunset just beyond the glass. Unlike the stories about vampires, sunlight didn’t kill us. We just preferred the dark.
I watched Bas for several minutes before I cleared my throat.
“How long have you been standing there?” he asked when he looked up.
“Just a few minutes. I came to let you know my contacts were a bust so we’re going direct to the source. We leave in just over an hour.”
“About fucking time. We need some answers.”
I watched as he stood, brushed his jeans off, and rubbed his hands together. “Which of us gets to dig through their minds if they refuse to tell the truth?”
“We’ll figure that out when we get there.”
“Oh, let it be me. Or maybe we can all take a turn at them. The fuckers.”
I understood his anger at her parents. If they’d not lied to the Council and kept her hidden, not only would she have control of the power flowing through her veins, but we would have met her sooner as well.
“We’ll see what happens when we get there. Just be ready to go.”
“Don’t worry. I will be.”
We both left the solar, with Bastien going to his quarters while I headed to the theater room.
I knew, before I even opened the door, that they’d fucked. I could smell it seeping out. My cock twitched at the thought of sharing her but now wasn’t the time.
I stepped into the room and my eyes quickly found them curled up together on the sofa. I hated waking them, especially Ri, but it had to be done.
“Fuck, I was hoping to sleep a little longer.”
I should have known Dax would hear me enter. “Sorry. We have a trip to make.”
“Shit. No luck with your contacts, huh?”
“No.” I moved to the sofa and reached out to brush hair from her face. “She’s even more beautiful when she’s asleep, isn’t she?”
“It’s because she’s less guarded.”
“Do you have any idea how much I wish I was waking her up so we could fuck her together?”
Dax’s eyes darkened at that. “Fuuuuck. You just had to put that image in my head.”
When Arianna moved in his arms and stretched, the blanket slipped down, baring her breast—and my mark.
I dropped to my knees in front of them, dipped my head, and took her nipple into my mouth.
A soft moan escaped Arianna and I smirked. She arched into me when my other hand brushed the blanket out of the way and kneaded her other breast.
Arianna’s eyes opened slowly and when she realized Dax was dipping a hand down between her thighs while I suckled her breast, her breathing accelerated.
“Think we could take care of our girl and still have time to get ready to go?” Dax growled.
“Fuck yes,” I replied. I pulled back to look into Arianna’s sleepy eyes. “Tell us, Sweetness. Do you want to feel us both inside you at the same time?”
“Goddess yes. Please don’t stop.”
That was all I needed to hear. I stripped quickly and Dax and I focused on bringing her to quick release. I focused on her breasts while Dax finger fucked her sweet pussy.
When she cried out, we both smirked. “Now you’re ready,” I told her. “Ride him, Ri. Let us watch that beautiful body as it undulates on him while he’s buried inside you.”
Dax moved so he was laying beneath her and I helped Arianna to straddle him. When she sank down on Dax’s cock, the sounds that came from her had me throbbing to be inside her.
I didn’t have lube, but we always had essential oils in every room. I found one that would give her just a little extra warmth and moved behind her.
My hand went to her back and I gently pushed her down until her luscious ass was in the air. It was nicely bruised and I knew that was M
alik’s handiwork.
“Tell me, Sweetness, has anyone ever fucked your luscious ass before?”
“No,” was her breathy reply.
I groaned. “Then I’ll be gentle,” I assured her. I poured a healthy amount of oil onto my fingers and eased two into her ass. She was tight, and I couldn’t wait to be buried in her. I worked her ass with my fingers, easing a third in, before I oiled my cock and replaced my fingers with my tip.
“If it’s too much, tell me to stop,” I said against her ear. I entered her, inch by inch, pausing periodically for her to adjust to the intrusion, until I was buried.
“Oh shit. I’m not going to last long, Zaine. If you’re planning to come when we do, you need to get moving,” Dax growled.
“Oh...oh goddess. That...I’ve never…don’t stop, Zaine. Please don’t stop it feels so good.”
“Your wish is my command, Sweetness.”
It didn’t take long for Dax and I to get a rhythm together. All three of us were rapidly heading to the precipice that would send us over into orgasmic bliss.
Dax reached between them and pressed his thumb to Arianna’s clit even as he growled, “Come for us, Kesah.”
Her pussy and ass clenched at the same time, her entire body shook with her release, and her cries were drowned out by mine and Dax’s roars as we fell with her.
I collapsed on her and rested my forehead on the back of her neck for just a moment, before I carefully withdrew.
“Gods damn, that was the hottest fucking thing I have ever seen.”
I turned my head to find Malik watching us.
“I’m a little jealous I didn’t get here early enough to really enjoy the show.”
“Don’t be so slow next time,” Arianna said and I chuckled at the bratty response.
“Careful, Vesalea, or you’re going to earn yourself another punishment.”
“Maybe that’s the point,” she countered.
I leaned over and kissed her. “You are fucking perfect, Sweetness.” I sighed. “As much as I’d rather stay here and enjoy your body for hours, we have a trip we need to make.”
