Station X

by Aubrey Ross

  Victor knelt behind him and Seth moved his legs apart. He had no doubt Victor was his mate, but Victor obviously needed this final test. Using his fingers to hold Tess open, Seth delved deeper, pushing his tongue into her passage as far as he could.

  Slick fingers moved over his anus, teasing and preparing him. His body ached, his cock growing impossibly harder. Take me, sir. All I am is yours. Shocked by the words and the desire driving them, Seth held perfectly still. He wanted this, needed the overwhelming fullness and fierce desire.

  Those persistent fingers pushed into him, circling and stretching until his body surrendered. He gently sucked on Tess’s folds, wanting her cream to mix with Victor’s cum. She wiggled against his mouth, hardly able to move with her limbs restrained.

  Victor positioned himself between Seth’s ass cheeks, forcing back his need to ravage and control. Instead he carefully worked the head of his cock past Seth’s tight sphincter. Gods, he was tight! And so fucking hot he could just about come without moving.

  Deeper, sir. Fill me up!

  A smile parted Victor’s lips. Seth would never truly submit, but he’d accept the sexual dynamic Victor needed so desperately. Steadying Seth’s lean hips, Victor drove deeper and deeper until Seth cried out in ecstasy. His passage clenched so tightly Victor groaned, then he reversed direction.

  Reaching around Seth’s trembling body, Victor found the Elf’s cock and stroked him in tandem to the motion of his hips. Emotions bombarded Victor’s mind and burst within his body. He was ravenous, yet consumed with protective tenderness. Nothing in all his centuries had ever felt like this. So intense, so significant. There could be no doubt, they were mates.

  Seth was nearly delirious with Protinese bonding fever. He slammed his hips back into Victor, demanding his cock. Tess cried out again and again as Seth devoured her pussy.

  Release her ankles and you can fuck her while I finish fucking you.

  No. We fuck her together for the first time.

  Strength seeped out of his body and Victor realized he was out of time. With three forceful thrusts, he triggered his climax and shuddered against Seth’s back. He fought off his solar trance with every fiber of his being, but he didn’t quite make it to the bed.

  Dizzy and desperate for another orgasm, Tess moaned as Seth rocked back on his heels. Her mind understood what had just happened, but her body didn’t seem to care. She wanted Seth’s mouth back on her folds, his tongue thrusting into her core.

  Seth pulled back the covers then placed Victor on the bed.

  “Will the curtains protect him or do we need to take him somewhere darker?”

  “He’ll be fine.”

  She looked over her shoulder. “Will you please release me now?”

  “I meant what I said. I’m not going to fuck you until we seal the joining.”

  She closed her eyes and blew out a shaky breath. Her pussy throbbed, and her clit pulsed with the same persistent rhythm. “I don’t get to come again until the sun sets?”

  “I didn’t say that.” He grinned and strolled toward her. “There are all sorts of things we can do to keep ourselves entertained until our mate is released from his trance.”

  Restless and bored, Cadin floated from one corner of the hotel room to the next in the incorporeal equivalent of pacing. Watching people fuck wasn’t nearly as much fun as messing with their emotions. She didn’t dare enter the mind of Tess or her Elfin prince, which left her as a frustrated voyeur.

  “What sort of things?” Tess asked as her mind filled with possibilities.

  Seth turned from the sleeping vampire and returned to his place in front of the female. “We can begin your training. I don’t think Victor will mind.”

  “My training for what?”

  “As a proper submissive.” He moved behind her, pressing his naked body against her back. “You’re far too outspoken and greedy with your pleasure. You need to learn to trust us implicitly, to accept that we will never harm you, and we’ll always give you what you need. Do you trust me?”

  Tess hesitated. “Why? What are you going to do?”

  He pinched her nipples and whispered in her ear, “Trust isn’t required if you know what’s coming.”

  “I trust you.”

  “I might have believed you if you’d replied without hesitation.” His hands skimmed over her body before he stepped back. “Now they’re just words.”

  She started to speak then Cadin felt a sudden spike of resentment and Tess turned her face away. “Why do I need to prove myself to you? You’re the one who violated my trust, not the other way around.”

  He unfastened her restraints before he spoke again. “You know why I allowed you to believe I was dead. Do we really need to go over all this again?” She headed for her discarded clothes, but he caught her upper arm, preventing her retreat. “We can talk this out, but don’t hide from me.”

  Cadin thought Tess would refuse. Rebellion simmered just under the surface. “So talk.”

  He drew her into a light embrace. “I’m sorry I hurt you. That was never my intention. I will never hurt you again.”

  “If you honestly wanted to protect me, why come back for me now?”

  “How can you ask me that after what we just shared? You are my mate, Tess. I have ached for you every night since our summer together.” His mouth crushed down over hers, smothering her reply. One hand cupped her ass, pulling her up along his body. His tongue moved boldly in her mouth. Cadin watched the possessive slide as their lips parted and slid.

  Tess eased away from him and sank to her knees. She raised her arms and locked her hands behind her head. “I trust you.”

  Cadin expected him to thrust his cock into her mouth. That was obviously what she offered. Instead, he caressed her cheek and stared into her eyes. “I did one more thing you might consider a betrayal of trust.”

  She lowered her arms, but remained on her knees. “What did you do?”

  “I told Victor you had demon blood.”

  “Why?” She shot to her feet, hurt and fear clear in her expression. “I told you about my father in the strictest of confidence. If and when Victor needed to know, it was my place to tell him.”

  “You’re right. I spoke out of turn and, again, I’m sorry.”

  Cadin had heard all she needed to hear. This confirmed what she’d suspected all along. Emit was after Tess and her brother. The real question was, how could Cadin benefit from the knowledge?

  Invigorated by the discovery, she followed her connection to Emit’s new abode. He’d checked in to a dilapidated motel. The room was dingy and reeking of sex. He sat on the bed, watching porn on the television.

  His head snapped up as she entered the room, shrewd intelligence gleaming in his gaze. “Welcome back. Are you feeling better?”

  The question brought her up short. She hadn’t revealed herself to him. How had he sensed her?

  Seeing no alternative for it, she took on a visual form. “I am feeling better. Did you miss me?”

  He didn’t respond to her smile. His gaze bore into hers. “How long have you known?”

  She could play dumb, but there was really no point in denials. He obviously knew she was on to him. “Not that long. When did you kill Emit?”

  “Emit’s not dead. We’re cohabitating. I knew I’d need this body longer than I can keep it operational on my own.”

  “That’s why you asked what would happen if he died.”

  “I can sense your true power. Why do you restrain it so carefully?”

  “The more power I exert, the harder it is to control.”

  He inclined his head with a thoughtful smile. “That’s a frequent complication.”

  “You want something or you wouldn’t have confronted me.”

  “You’re going to help me capture Nogafel’s grandchildren. I assured my father of this prize. I don’t intend to fail.”

  “I don’t give a damn what you intend. I’ve lost interest in this conversation.
” She flipped her hair over her shoulders and pinched off her link to Emit.

  She felt the familiar rush of energy, guiding her home, then the sensation slowed, finally sputtering out. What the fuck?

  The demon grinned and clasped his hand around her throat. She hadn’t been solid a second ago! “Chaos beings aren’t the only ones who use dimensional anchors. You’ll leave when I’ve finished with you and not before.”

  Rebellion shot through her spirit. Thank the heavens she hadn’t told him what she knew. He might have moved their power struggle onto a new playing field, but she still had a few tricks up her sleeve.

  Chapter Seven

  Tess bent over the ottoman in the outer room of her hotel suite, legs spread wide, offering Seth an unobstructed view of her pussy and the handle of the butt plug he’d inserted a few minutes before. She knew the plug was meant to train her body, to stretch the muscles so it wouldn’t hurt when his cock replaced the toy.

  “Talk to me, love,” he said. “Tell me how that feels.”

  “It makes me want to bear down, but I’m afraid I’ll push it out.”

  “Squeeze all you like. I’ll make sure it doesn’t go anywhere.” He slowly rotated the toy, making her wiggle and moan.

  “I need to come!” she snapped when bearing down only made the urgency worse.

  “You come when I do this.” His fingers pushed into her cunt and Tess whimpered. “So what’s the difference?”

  “Let me touch my clit. I can --”

  “No. Your body is too familiar with that pattern. You need to learn other paths to release.”

  She had never been able to make herself come without touching her clit, but Seth seemed to know her body better than she did. He ignored her claim and showed her how well she responded to other forms of stimulation. He’d fucked her with a glass dildo, while he sucked and pinched her nipples. On and on he’d gone, adjusting the angle and increasing the pressure of each pinch until an unexpected orgasm swept over her.

  “Pain is obviously a trigger with you,” he’d concluded as she rubbed her tender nipples.

  She hadn’t wanted to believe him, but he’d wrestled her down across his lap and spanked her virgin ass. With her cheeks smoldering with sensual heat and her cream running down the inside of her thighs, she’d experienced her second spontaneous orgasm.

  Now bending over the ottoman, he was working to obliterate her next preconception. “There are more nerve endings in and around your ass than in your pussy. It should be easier to come when I do this.” He drew the plug back, intensifying the pressure as her body stretched around the fullest part of the plug.

  Rather than argue with him, she closed her eyes and concentrated on the demonstration. The toy slipped free and she sighed. A moment later he replaced the plug with two slippery fingers.

  His lips feathered a kiss over the brand high on her right ass cheek. “It makes me crazy to think of how badly this must have hurt.”

  “I don’t remember the pain.” His fingers slid, slowly, so very slowly in and out of her ass. “Rand does, but he was older when they branded him.”

  “I shouldn’t have brought it up. I’m sorry. Feel the slide, only the slide.” His fingers pushed deep then reversed direction, spreading slightly as he pulled them outward. “Imagine my cock moving inside you, caressing you from the inside out.” Her body adjusted quickly to the smooth motion. Sensations curled into her abdomen then flowed out in a sudden rush as he pulled back.

  “Oh!” She shivered, bearing down on his fingers.

  “Harder. Squeeze me tight.” Over and over she squeezed him. Her pussy echoed each clench, increasing her frustration and accentuating the tension building inside her.

  She cried out, tossing her head. His thrusting slowed, focusing her attention on each tingle, each rhythmic tightening of her inner muscles. The sensations gathered, teetering on the brink of bliss. He thrust in fast and pulled back slow, while she soared ever higher. Then his teeth bit into the flesh of her ass, and she came in hard, deep spasms.

  Shaken by the powerful orgasm, Tess slumped against the ottoman. Seth caressed his way out of her passage and soothed the bite with his tongue. He turned her over and gathered her into his arms.

  “You all right?”

  “You bit me.” She chuckled at the odd sounding complaint. “I’d expect that sort of behavior from Victor.”

  “I can be every bit as savage as Victor. Don’t let the pointed ears fool you.”

  They took a long, hot shower, soothing and exploring with soapy hands and tender lips. Tess savored each moment with Seth, but her spirit was ever aware of the vampire asleep in her bed. Watching the men touch each other had been undeniably erotic, and she was looking forward to many such exchanges. Still, she couldn’t wait for the final joining, the ultimate blending of… The thought brought her up short. How had she accepted all this so easily? She was an independent woman, a modern entrepreneur, yet she’d given up her freedom without a fight.

  “Having second thoughts?” Seth pressed against her back, wrapping his arms around her waist.

  “My heart knows this is right, but my logical brain is shocked at how easily I let you two take over.”

  “It’s a risk either way.” He turned her around and looked into her eyes as the warm water cascaded around them. “If you trust what you’re feeling, and it all falls apart, you’ll be devastated. But if you trust your logic and lock yourself away, you’ll never know the wonder of a soul-bonded love.”

  “Are you saying you love me?”

  He kissed her gently on the lips. “I’ve always loved you.”

  Her heart swelled in response, but her mind wasn’t ready for the words. This was happening too fast. She was risking too much.

  Understanding her hesitation, yet disappointed all the same, Seth turned off the water. “Let’s see if we can wake up Victor. I generally enjoy foreplay, but today seriously challenged my control.”

  “Your misery was largely self-imposed. I offered you my hand, and my mouth, and --”

  He silenced her with a demanding kiss. “Victor came inside you once and I came inside you once. If I’d accepted any of your other offers, it would have thrown off the balance of our joining.”

  Her delicate brows drew together as they stepped out of the steamy shower stall. “Will that always be an issue?”

  “No.” He wrapped a towel around his hips and used another to dry her off. A smile played about his lips as he lingered over her curves. If his men could see him now, they’d be shocked at the changes this woman brought out in their battle weary commander. He’d left Protina embittered and arrogant, ready to reclaim the life snatched from him by war. “Once the bond is formed, we’ll be free to indulge ourselves in any way we choose as often as we like.”

  She took the damp towel from his hand and rubbed it over his chest. “What were you thinking about just then? Your eyes turned sad.”

  “The past,” he admitted. “I was such a fool to ever let anything come between us.” He wrapped his arms around her and hugged her tight. “It will never happen again.”

  In a rare moment of brazenness, Tess tossed aside her towel and snatched his from around his hips. She took him by the hand and led him back into the bedroom.

  It took a moment for his eyes to adjust to the darkness. Moonlight caught on something metallic, and Seth’s heart leapt in his chest. The restraints. Tess had accepted bondage so sweetly, responding without fear. They had accomplished far more in one day than he had ever dreamed possible. She would be such a joy to train, such a joy to love.

  She slowly pulled the covers down, revealing their mate in the moonlight. Victor’s body emanated strength and danger, sending darts of excitement through Seth. They crawled onto the bed; he was on one side of Victor, and she was on the other. They touched his chest and his ridged abdomen, intentionally avoiding his cock.

  Tease him with your hair. She sat back on her heels and watched to see if he would obey.

 
He drew a thick strand over his shoulder and fanned out the end, then dragged the makeshift brush from the base of Victor’s throat to his navel.

  Now, his cock. Tease his cock with your hair.

  Victor’s shaft was rapidly hardening. He was either already awake or heading there fast. Seth wrapped his fingers around Victor’s semi-hard cock and circled the tapered head with his hair.

  In a flash of movement, Victor wrapped that same strand around his hand and pulled Seth’s head toward his waiting cock. The message was unmistakable. He parted his lips and obeyed.

  “Victor!” Tess’s gasp made Seth look up as best he could without releasing Victor’s cock. The vampire pulled her forward and situated her astride his face. She cried out again as Victor’s mouth latched on to her pussy. Her back arched and her hips rocked as Victor fucked her with his tongue.

  Desperate for the culmination of their passion, Seth dragged his mouth along the length of Victor’s shaft then released it with a wet sounding pop. He wrapped his arm around Tess’s waist and dragged her off Victor’s face.

  Victor snarled, baring his fangs and reaching blindly for Tess. Seth didn’t give him time to escalate. He moved Tess into position over Victor’s hips and guided his mate’s cock to his other mate’s core.

  She didn’t hesitate. In one slow, continuous motion, she impaled herself on Victor. He stroked her breasts, firmly rolling her nipples.

  “Lean forward and kiss him,” Seth said. “I’ll join you in a second.”

  Heat washed over Tess as she heard Seth’s words. He’d join them in a second? His body would push into her ass, and they would move as one. Their minds would join, their souls would join, and nothing would be the same.

  Victor guided her down, his mouth warm and waiting. She abandoned herself to his kiss, using the familiar intensity to soothe the last of her fears. Their union was unique and wonderful, unexpected and right. She wouldn’t let her logical mind taint what her heart felt so clearly.
