In My Blood: A Paranormal Academy Reverse Harem Romance (Angel Academy Book 2)

by Riley London

  I didn’t want to scare him away like last time, even though that same electricity was speeding through my veins.

  Fuck.

  I wanted him inside of me.

  Just as I felt like a moan was going to break free from my mouth, I heard the door quickly open and snap to a close. “Oh. So, this is what you’re doing in your free time these days.”

  Zachary laughed after he spoke, and I then heard him plop down onto his bed. “Don’t mind me. I just came in here for a nap. I stayed out way too late last night. Finally got an invite to one of Micah’s ragers and I went for it.”

  “Congrats,” I sarcastically replied, breaking off the kiss between Benjamin and me. “Speaking of absolute ragers, how’d you do on your midterms?”

  “I did so well that Benjamin has a good shot of being valedictorian again.” Zachary chuckled. “But I’m not gonna sweat it. I’ll get my grades up by the end of the year. Besides, life can’t all be about books and shit, right, Benjie? Sometimes, you just need a little action.”

  Benjamin appeared to blush at Zachary’s phrase. “I don’t know what you mean.”

  “What? Weren’t you two about to fuck?” Zachary looked over at us. “I’m assuming it isn’t the first time. Just keep it down, all right? I need my beauty rest.”

  “I’ve never...we’ve never...” Benjamin stuttered and stammered over his words.

  “...What?” Zachary’s eyes went wide. “Benjie, are you telling me that you haven’t had sex before? Ever?”

  “No,” Benjamin admitted. “It’s something I’ve never had the opportunity to do.”

  “The opportunity...you make it sound like it requires backstage passes or something.” Zachary smirked. “Well, in that case, if it’s going to be your first time, maybe I should go.”

  “Yeah, maybe you should,” I joined in the conversation. “Go take a nap on the third floor of the library or something. No one’s going to stop you.”

  “The library doesn’t have pillows. Or sheets.” Zachary grimaced. “But hey, I’ll do anything for Benjie, even if it means sacrificing my own comfort so you can two finally hit a homerun together—”

  “Don’t go.” Benjamin’s words were quiet.

  “What?” Zachary and I asked the same question at the exact same time.

  “I...” Benjamin glanced away from me, as he continued. “I’ve been reading up about it, how these sorts of relationships work. It’s not unusual to have intimate relations with more than one partner at a time.”

  “Never done that before,” Zachary replied.

  “Me either,” I admitted. “Benjie, are you sure that’s something you’d want? For your first time?”

  “Yes,” Benjamin nodded. “It might sound odd, but there’s something unnerving about doing it alone for the first time...I just feel like I’ll need some guidance, and I trust Zachary has enough knowledge for all three of us combined.”

  “Dude. Don’t invite me to a threesome and then tell me it’s because you think I’m a man-whore.” Zachary rolled his eyes. “I mean, I’ll do it, but only because you asked me to. And because I’m kind of horny.”

  “I thought you were tired,” I said.

  “Tired and horny, my two main moods.” Zachary winked. “It can either go one way or the other.”

  “Celeste, would you be all right with it?” Benjamin directed his question toward me. “I wouldn’t want to do anything that would make you uncomfortable.”

  “It would be fine with me,” I answered. “But I’ve never done something like this before, either. I’m not sure where to start.”

  “I think we can just start like this...” Benjamin leaned toward me with a kiss, bringing a hand up toward my hair. He then began to gently brush his fingers through the strands, and I moaned at the sensation.

  His fingers in my hair felt so impossibly good.

  I returned his kiss and pressed my palm against his chest, right over his heart. I could feel it going a mile a minute and I smiled at the thought of Benjamin being so anxious, yet still so turned on. I moaned again as Benjamin deepened the kiss, his tongue dancing along my own, just as purposeful and graceful as the way he carried himself during a fight.

  I was so lost in my kiss with Benjamin that it took me by surprise when I felt Zachary’s hands on my thighs. He must’ve situated himself behind me somewhere in the kiss, now running his fingers along my skin. Zachary continued the motion for a moment or so, until his fingers dipped down between my thighs. I felt one of his palms pressing against my clit, softly rubbing it as he used his other hand to spread my legs open further.

  Fuck.

  The electricity I typically felt on my skin seemed like its wattage was increasing tenfold. I’d never been touched by both Benjamin and Zachary at the same time and I felt like I might explode with pleasure at any moment. Everything felt too good to be true, and as soon as Zachary slid a finger inside of me, my hips rocked against him, as I shivered and came.

  “Are you okay?” I heard Benjamin ask. “Celeste, is everything all right?”

  “She’s okay, Benjie.” Zachary grinned. “In fact, I’d say she’s more than okay. And I bet she wants to keep going too. You want to keep going, don’t you, Celeste?”

  I nodded since my mouth felt totally unable to produce the sounds that I needed to be comprehensible right now. All I could do was moan. All I could do was feel.

  “Okay. As long as you’re okay...” Benjamin moved away from my lips, bringing a hand towards my uniform. He started to unbutton my blouse, taking it one button at a time, pulling the fabric away from my skin. When my black bra was exposed, Benjamin slowly slid the straps away from my shoulders, until the bra hung loose around my abdomen.

  “You’re beautiful,” Benjamin murmured, bringing his lips towards my chest, and starting to play with my nipple, caressing it with his tongue. He used his free hand to take my other nipple between his fingers and roll it between the digits.

  “Benjie...fuck...” I moaned, throwing my head back in bliss. While Benjamin sucked on my chest, Zachary was steadily fingering me, brushing up against my g-spot with every motion. Again, I felt like I was going to combust, the electricity needing somewhere to go or else I was going to catch on fire.

  Just when I came close to finishing again, Zachary slid his fingers completely out of me. I whined at the loss of contact, and at the loss of potentially reaching another orgasm so soon. I didn’t have to whine too long though, as I felt Zachary’s hand move my panties to the side, before he dipped down between my legs and pressed his tongue against my clit.

  I felt like I was going to scream from the sensation and I roughly bit at my own lip. Another lick between my legs and I yelped, unable to contain the sound in my throat.

  Shit. Someone’s going to come check on us if I don’t get my shit together.

  I didn’t know what would happen next if Mrs. Deveraux caught us having a threesome, but I wasn’t in any position to find out. I already had the council breathing down my neck. I didn’t need to give them any reason to continue their probe into my life.

  “Wait. Hold on,” I instructed, moving my hips away from Zachary and my chest away from Benjamin. “Benjie, lean back against the wall. Zach, get behind me.”

  They both did as they were told, swiftly getting into position. I laid down between them both, with my head facing Benjamin’s waist and my hips facing Zachary’s mouth. I made quick work of Benjamin’s uniform pants, pulling them down just enough to reveal the massive hard-on in his boxers. I pulled his boxers down, and Benjamin looked a little embarrassed as his cock sprang from the fabric.

  “Sorry,” Benjamin whispered.

  “What are you apologizing for?” I smiled up at him. “You’re supposed to get hard, Benjie. How else are you supposed to fuck me?”

  Benjamin’s face reddened even more at my dirty talk and I couldn’t help but grin. He looked so cute like that, all nervous and shy. It was nothing like the Benjamin that I’d come to know, overflowin
g with confidence and refusing to back down when he knew he was in the right.

  I took Benjamin’s cock into my mouth, without saying another word. He groaned at the contact and so I kept it going, soon bobbing my head up and down his shaft. I could taste Benjamin’s precum, already spilling out from the slit of his cock.

  Fuck.

  Benjamin tasted so good.

  I continued to blow him, loving the way he let out low, raspy groans, as I took nearly every inch of his cock into my mouth. I started to whimper against Benjamin’s cock, as Zachary’s long licks against my clit were becoming merciless, each one putting me that much closer to coming against his tongue.

  Zachary ran his tongue along my clit for a final time, and I felt myself losing the battle. I came, hard, against Zachary’s face, my hips pushing back toward his mouth. I kept Benjamin’s cock between my lips as I moaned, wanting him to feel the sensations between my cheeks.

  “Let’s switch,” Zachary suggested to Benjamin, as I was still in the midst of an overwhelming tide.

  “Okay.” Benjamin nodded. “I’ve never eaten anyone out before though. Sorry if it’s not as good as when Zach did it, Celeste—”

  “Who’s talking about eating her out?” I felt Zachary already moving toward Benjamin’s place on the bed. “Nah, man. She’s warmed up enough. You need to get inside of her.”

  “Is that what you want, Celeste?” Benjamin directed his question toward me. “Do you want me inside of you?”

  I nodded, moving my mouth away from Benjamin’s cock. “Please.”

  “Okay.” Benjamin bent down to give me a sweet kiss on my forehead, before shifting away from the wall. “Then, let’s switch.”

  By the time I’d finally come down from my orgasm, I spotted Zachary in Benjamin’s old place. Zachary’s cock was already exposed, as he smiled down at me. “Having fun?”

  “Mmhmm.”

  “Good.” Zachary smiled again. “Now, are you going to be a good girl and swallow for me?”

  “Yes.” Zachary’s question sent sparks straight down to my clit. I loved how his dominant streak always seemed to come out while we were having sex. Zachary fucked the same way he seemed to live his life, extremely confident and a little reckless, too.

  I took Zachary’s cock into my mouth, feeling Benjamin’s hands press onto my hips. I winced a little bit as Benjamin quickly slid his cock inside of me because I felt like he was on the verge of stretching me out. I didn’t know what it was with these angel guys, but their cocks were always so big.

  I couldn’t say that I didn’t love it though.

  Benjamin then started to move inside of me, slow and steady. It was a torturous pace, my body was so ready for him to pound away inside of me. I pushed my hips back toward him, hoping that he would get the message. He seemed to understand what I wanted, as he began to pick up his rhythm, thrusting into me at double time. I groaned against Zachary’s cock in my mouth, as my pussy clenched tighter and tighter around Benjamin’s shaft.

  I came for him, coming against Benjamin. Zachary came too, spurting against my tongue. I swallowed every last drop for him, as Benjamin held onto my hips, keeping me in place while he pumped his hips with finality, finishing inside of me.

  “Fuck.” It was the only word that came out of my mouth, as my legs gave out and I fell onto the bed.

  “Yeah. Fuck.” Zachary grinned. “That was pretty fan-fucking-tastic.”

  “Celeste, are you okay?” Benjamin appeared beside me on the bed, wrapping an arm across my abdomen. “I didn’t hurt you, did I?”

  “No, you didn’t hurt me.” I smiled over at Benjamin, bringing a hand to his cheek. “That felt really good, Benjie. Thank you.”

  “Uh, were you praying during sex?” Zachary asked.

  “Praying? What? What are you talking about?”

  “Your hands, Celeste. They’re glowing,” Zachary continued. “But I don’t think I heard you say anything.”

  “That’s because I didn’t.” I frowned, pulling my hand back toward my face.

  My hand was glowing. Looking at my fingers, out of the corner of my eye, I saw that my forearm was starting to glow too. And my chest. And my abdomen. And my thighs. And my legs.

  What the fuck?

  “What the fuck is going on?” I voiced my concerns out loud. “Uh, am I going to die or something?”

  “I didn’t know angels could still do that...” Benjamin’s tone was lined with wonder. “I’ve only heard about that in textbooks. I thought after Michael fought off the princes, angels weren’t supposed to have that much power...”

  “What’s going on right now, exactly?” I panicked, as the glow continued to radiate off my skin.

  “Telum Dei ultimum est scriptor,” Benjamin murmured. “God’s ultimate weapon.”

  Chapter 13

  “God’s ultimate weapon?” I asked, as I sat across from Benjamin and Zachary in the cafeteria. “Are you telling me that God’s ultimate weapon is sex? That’s insane.”

  “Not sex. Love,” Benjamin corrected me. “God’s ultimate weapon has always been love.”

  “So, why did I get all glow-y when we were, you know.” I nodded towards Benjamin for emphasis, not wanting to say the word fucking in the middle of the dining hall.

  “Because sex is just another expression of love, or it can be. Although it doesn’t always have to be accessed through sex,” Benjamin continued. “It is believed that Michael, when he was able to take on the glow of God, proceeded to defeat the Princes of Hell and lock them away in their chains. I don’t think he engaged in intimate relations before that moment.”

  “I mean, we could never know for sure,” Zachary chimed into the conversation. “But yeah, he probably didn’t bone anyone before he went off to battle.”

  “He probably just spent some time with Mrs. Deveraux,” I suggested, and the situation suddenly made me feel so sad. It must’ve been horrible for Mrs. Deveraux to know that she was in love with a doomed man, someone who had to sacrifice himself for the betterment of the world. And now, that world was in jeopardy again and this time, he wasn’t even by her side.

  “So, how do we harness it?” Zachary asked. “If Celeste is able to pull that little trick whenever we’re out in the field, we’ll never have to worry about demons ever again.”

  “We can’t harness it,” Benjamin replied. “And in fact, we should consider keeping it among ourselves. If the council were to discover that an angel was as capable as Michael, right in the middle of our dealings with the Princes of Hell, then they may suggest that Celeste make a similar sacrifice.”

  “You think they’ll ask me to exchange my soul for the world?” I looked over at Benjamin. “Would the council really expect me to do something like that? Die at the drop of a hat?”

  “You wouldn’t be dying. You’d be joining our father in Heaven.”

  “He’s not my father,” I replied. “And I’m pretty sure as soon as I’d get there, he’d knock me right back down to Hell.”

  “True.” Zachary let out a sigh. “Things do get a little more complicated when you’re navigating old, family politics.”

  “Just give me some time to consider this unique situation,” Benjamin responded. “I’m sure I’ll think of something along the way. For now though, this stays between us.”

  “Agreed.” Zachary nodded. “We don’t want the angels carrying Celeste off to Heaven anytime soon. Besides, she probably wouldn’t fit in.”

  “Asshole.” I rolled my eyes, before taking a sip of my green tea. I spotted Trinity, walking across the cafeteria, heading for the hallway. She seemed to have a pep in her step and her sense of enthusiasm set off warning bells in my head.

  “I’ll be right back,” I told Benjamin and Zachary, as I rose up from my seat.

  “What’s your deal?” I asked Trinity, as she stood in front of her locker.

  “Excuse me?” Trinity replied, before she turned my way. “Oh. Are you speaking with me again?”

  “Look, I
know you’re all doom and gloom, and you think that the Princes of Hell taking over the world is inevitable—”

  “Because it is—”

  “But I’m going to tell you right now, if you bring any harm to any of these innocent people, I’m going to have to deal with you myself,” I continued. “I don’t care if you followed me here, out of some sense of a sisterly bond. I’ll handle you if it ever comes to that.”

  “You’ll handle me?” Trinity grinned. “And what does that imply, Celeste? Are you going to tell our parents what I’ve been up to?”

  “What are you up to?” I shook my head in confusion. “If everything is already in motion, then what do you need me for? Why’d you come back for me?”

  “Because I need you on my side, sister,” Trinity explained. “I told you before. We need to show a united front. My plan doesn’t work unless we’re both signed onto the dotted line. The princes can’t think that you’re still somewhere out there, still ready to challenge me for the throne.”

  “As long as you keep all of this shit confined to Hell, I’m not going to challenge you for anything. I don’t want to rule over a bunch of demons.”

  “And I’m telling you, that this war will not only be confined to Hell, and you and I are going to rule over everything.”

  “All right. Nice chatting with you.” I moved away from Trinity’s locker. “Maybe we can talk again, when you’re feeling a little less world-dominating-y.”

  “Don’t make me force your hand.”

  “What was that?” I spun back toward Trinity. “What did you just say to me?”

  “I am my mother’s daughter.” Trinity shot me a vengeful look. “If you do not cooperate with me on this, then I’ll have no choice but to convince you by other means.”

  “And what other means are you talking about, exactly?”

  “Your heart.”

  “My heart?”

  “Charlie Collins.” Trinity smiled. “I can break the bond between you two, you know. I can time it perfectly, so the next time he takes a trip to Hell, he doesn’t come back. Next time, he burns.”
