Blood Rush

by Jenika Snow

  Kayla had talked to Aniya and Milo briefly, but she had noticed how preoccupied Milo was with the female selection in the club. As if on cue, he had said his pleasantries and then gone toward a flock of women. Aniya had pointed out all the different creatures that filled the club, and Kayla was astounded to learn how many different beings stood around her.

  “Over there, right next to the bar, are the Siren hussies.” Aniya leaned in close and in a hushed tone said, “Keep your man away from them if you know what’s good for you.” She pointed out several more tables that were placed sporadically in the large room. “Over there are the Draqos, shape-shifting dragons, and over there are the Incubus and Succubus.” She turned Kayla’s way and grimaced. “Again, keep your man away from the Succubus, and it wouldn’t hurt if you steered clear of the Incubus. They can be pretty persuasive at times.”

  One by one, Aniya ticked off creatures that Kayla had always believed were myths. She noticed there weren’t any Lyken members at the party, but it didn’t surprise her, not after she had met them and realized how they felt about the Blood Breed.

  Fey, warlocks, demons, and other mythical creatures walked, danced, and got drunk right in front of her. Kind of surreal, and a little weird, for her to take in, but the more Aniya described everything and everyone, the more Kayla became fascinated by it all.

  “Last but not least, you have the Rages. All I’m going to say is steer clear of them. They get angry and violent at the drop of a hat.” Aniya waved to someone on the other side of the club. “Listen, we’ll talk more later. Have fun, and don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.” Just like that, she was gone, lost in the sea of bodies.

  Kayla didn’t need Aniya to elaborate on the Rages. After the cryptic warning Adrik had given her, she knew she wouldn’t be going anywhere near them.

  Kayla shook her head and looked around. Adrik was no more than a foot away from her with a wide smile on his face. “Get that grin off your face and buy your girlfriend a drink.”

  He chuckled and escorted her to the table. He leaned down and kissed her on the head before weaving his way through the crowd and toward the bar.

  An hour later and Kayla could admit she was pleasantly buzzed. She sipped on her almost-empty alcoholic beverage as she surveyed the dance floor. Adrik was at the bar and clearly in an amusing conversation, if the broad smile were anything to go by. Although she normally didn’t drink, she wanted to let loose a little. Cool fingers stroked up her bare arm, and she let out a startled gasp. She spun around in her seat, her eyes widening as she saw the very, very large man standing in front of her. He wasn’t just any man, no, not with his coal black hair or eerie ice-blue eyes. He was one of the men she had seen earlier, a Rage.

  Adrik was still at the bar and talking to the bartender. Kayla was on her own. She faced the man again. He wore a half smile on his face as he scanned her body.

  “Mind if I join you, beautiful.” It wasn’t a question.

  “Actually, my boyfriend will be back with our drinks.”

  “Hmm, you mean the one talking to the bartender?” He tilted his head to where Adrik stood, but didn’t take his eyes from her.

  His manner was pleasant and nonthreatening, but something inside of her screamed that he was deadly. She didn’t deny or agree with what he said and thought it best to keep a calm demeanor and act pleasant. Adrik’s words about the Rages being dangerous played over and over in her mind, but her instincts told her she needed to show no fear. She had a feeling this man, the Rages, fed off fear.

  “So, what is a pretty little thing like you doing with a bloodsucker anyway?” He leaned back in the seat.

  Kayla didn’t miss how his gaze dipped to her breasts or how his smile widened. She straightened. “What can I say? He’s great.” She swallowed roughly.

  “What’s your name, precious?”

  “What’s yours?” She was eluding, but he didn’t seem to care. That, or he didn’t notice.

  He straightened and leaned forward, his smiling broadening. “I can be anyone you want me to be.”

  Kayla looked over his shoulder and noticed Adrik looking at her. She could tell, even from the distance, that his whole body had gone stiff. She took a deep breath, and before she could blow it out, Adrik was right beside her. The Rage sitting in his seat suddenly became stiff. He looked at her and smiled, straight white teeth flashing menacingly as he slowly stood and turned around to face Adrik.

  They stared at each other for what seemed like forever, and she worried one of them would throw a punch. The tension was thick in the air, but no one really seemed to notice the two massive men about to kill each other. Suddenly the air became thinner, lighter, and the stranger held his hands up and slowly walked away. Adrik’s gaze stayed on him until he disappeared within the throng of people.

  Adrik sat down and slid her drink over to her. He didn’t speak for several long moments and then grabbed his drink and downed it.

  “I meant it when I said I want you to stay away from them.” His voice was hard and demanding, and she couldn’t help the anger that surfaced within her.

  “He came over here. I certainly did not go seek out his company.” Her voice had risen, but with the club being so noisy, it hardly made the impact she was going for.

  He closed his eyes briefly, and emotions passed across his features. “I’m sorry. It’s just, well, with you, things are different.” He opened his eyes and offered her a small smile. “Want to get out of here?”

  She nodded. Things had started to get all shitty anyway, and she really didn’t need anyone fighting over her tonight.

  Kayla held Adrik’s hand as they walked through the deserted park. The moon was high in the sky and cast its silvery glow across the pond. It looked like tiny crystals dancing on the water. Even though it should have felt dangerous walking at night, she knew that with Adrik by her side, she would always be safe.

  When everything had happened with Lana, everyone had gone into a kind of panic. The community of Stone Brooke hadn’t known what was really going on, and neither had Kayla. It was frightening to know what really lay below the streets of the small, almost picturesque town.

  She continued along the stone path until Adrik started to lead them away from the park and into the woods. The moon was full and bright in the sky and lit their path as they weaved their way through the bushes and trees. The smell of wildlife and evergreen filled her senses, and she inhaled deeply. She felt Adrik tighten his hold on her hand. She looked up at him. The perfect masculine lines of his face casted shadows.

  “It’s so beautiful out here.” She took everything in. The sound of small animals rustling beneath the brush echoed through the trees. The hoot of an owl in the distance seemed to surround her.

  “It isn’t as beautiful as you are.”

  She turned and smiled at him. To some it may have seemed like a cheesy line, but to Kayla it was everything. She nudged him with her elbow and tried not to laugh.

  “That line sounds like it should be in a movie, or maybe a romance novel.”

  He shrugged, but held a smile. “Maybe, but it’s true. You are more beautiful to me than anything in this world. He brushed his thumb along the back of her hand. Goose bumps prickled over her skin.

  “Where are we going?”

  He lifted his hand and pointed in front of them. “There is a beautiful meadow just a little bit ahead. I want you to see it.”

  They walked in silence for several long moments. When they finally made their way through a cluster of trees, Kayla gasped in wonder and awe. Before them was an intimate and ethereal meadow. Although it was night, flowers bloomed all around the circle of trees. She looked into the sky. The moon was right above her and shined in all its glory. The meadow was like an oasis, perfect.

  Before she could even comment on the beauty of it all, Adrik had her pressed against an aspen. Kayla gasped in delight as she looked into his face. He moved closer to her, pressed his rigid cock into her belly, and slowly pumped his hips
back and forth. Her pussy instantly became wet, and her clit throbbed.

  His hands went to her hair, and he tilted her head to the side. She didn’t fight his dominance. In fact, she reveled in it. He ever so slowly moved his head toward hers. At the first press of his mouth against hers, a gush of moisture seeped out of her vagina. She spread her thighs wider. Her whole body heated when he took the hint and wedged his massive form closer. His cock was hard and thick, and she could practically feel it throb beneath his pants.

  Their heads tilted further, and their kiss became fierce and wild. Their tongues pressed against each other, moving in a sensual slide that had her thrusting her hips against him. His hands moved down and wrapped around her wrists. He slowly lifted them above her head without breaking the kiss.

  When their kiss broke, she panted. He trailed his tongue along her throat. She could feel her pulse accelerate from excitement. She wanted his bite desperately. She felt the scrape of his fangs along her neck and moaned in delight.

  “I’m going to make you feel so good, Kayla.” He turned her around so that her back was to his chest. He brought his mouth to her ear, his hot breath tickling the sensitive skin and inflaming her lust. “You will keep your hands above your head.”

  She shivered in delight at his possessive and dominating tone. It turned her on even more. It made her pussy wetter, made her nipples stab against the material of her dress.

  The sound of her zipper being pulled down penetrated the thick arousal that laced its way around her mind. The wind teased her now-overheated flesh as the material pooled at her feet. She stepped out of it and looked over her shoulder. Adrik’s gaze was on her ass. She could tell just from his expression that he liked what he saw. She lifted her ass, wanting him to touch her. The sound of his growl caused her pussy to leak, her own wetness soaking her panties and slipping down her thigh.

  Kayla sucked in air when his palm landed on her ass, the crack of skin against skin echoing through the tiny clearing. Her skin burned where he had spanked her, but it was a burn that felt oh so good. His fingers looped beneath the waistband of her G-string and slowly dragged it down her legs until it, too, pooled at her feet. She had gone braless, and the scrape of the bark against her nipples brought a pleasure-pain that startled her.

  His palm slapped against her ass once more, and she tilted her head back and closed her eyes as pleasure washed through her. His fingers teased her saturated slit but never delved farther in.

  “I’m not being too rough, am I?” His voice was hoarse, his words barely a deep whisper as he continued to palm her ass.

  She shook her head, not trusting her voice to confirm what he was doing was making her hotter, wetter.

  “Good, that’s really good, baby. I don’t think I could have stopped anyway.”

  His hot breath wafted across her bare pussy, and she snapped her eyes open. She panted as she looked over her shoulder and down at him. He was on his haunches, his attention on her ass as he continued to massage the globes. His hand went to the erection that she could clearly see pressed against his pants. He started to rub it, up and down, slow and then fast.

  He blew a steady stream of hot air across her pussy lips before removing his hands from his shaft and squeezing her ass cheeks. He spread them, and although she should have felt embarrassed and self-conscious about where his face was, the only thing that penetrated her arousal-infused brain was how good it felt.

  He moved his fingers closer, until her ass cheeks weren’t the only things spread wide. She felt the chill of the air kiss her displayed pussy. Her labia were spread wide, and as she looked at Adrik once again, her breath stopped. His eyes were half lidded, and his mouth was slightly open. His fangs were massive as they touched the bottom of his lips. His full attention was on her cleft.

  “Please, Adrik, touch me.”

  That seemed to be the only encouragement he needed. In the next instant, he attacked her vagina with such force she was propelled against the tree. She wrapped her arms around the bark and lifted her ass more, closing her eyes in bliss as his tongue licked up and down her center before spearing into her pussy hole.

  Her legs shook from the force of his actions, and the way he growled against her flesh sent vibrations all the way to her pulsating clit. His hands squeezed her ass harder, but the pain made the pleasure that more tangible. She held her breath when his tongue circled her throbbing clit. He sucked the tiny bud into his mouth, running his tongue around it at the same time his fingers teased her opening.

  He pressed one finger into her, just to the first knuckle, just enough to drive her to the brink of orgasm. He suctioned his mouth harder on the hooded bundle of nerves, driving his finger deeper into her and causing her to rise on her toes. She moaned low, needing him to fill her up, needing more than just his tongue and fingers.

  He added another digit to the one already impaling her. Slowly he filled her, stretching her inner muscles and brushing against the hidden bundle of nerves buried inside. She bucked against his hand and mouth, the action causing his finger to push all the way in. They moaned in unison, and he started a slow pumping motion with his fingers. He sucked harder and faster against her clit.

  She pressed her ass back against him and moved her hips up and down as she fucked herself on his fingers. She felt him curl his fingers inside of her, slowly massaging her and pressing against her G-spot. She threw her head back and groaned, gush after gush of her cream seeping out and coating her inner thighs and his hand. Her orgasm was fierce and strong, causing her nipples to tighten to the point of pain and her inner pussy muscles to keep hold of his fingers.

  He never stopped his onslaught with his mouth or fingers. He continued to wring her climax out, humming against her clit, which caused little aftershocks of pleasure to zing within her. He unlatched his mouth from her, and the wet popping noise was almost enough to set her off again. He dragged his tongue down her cleft and kissed her pussy hole. The spasms still racked her body as he rose and covered her back with his chest.

  He smoothed his fingertips down her sides as he kissed the area between her shoulder blades. His hands left her skin, and a second later, she felt his bare chest against her equally bare back. She was breathing hard, her orgasm still fresh in her mind and body. One of his hands snaked around and took hold of one of her breasts. He tweaked the nipple with his thumb and forefinger, rolling the elongated tissue around until she positively ached for more.

  His other hand moved between her legs. His fingers delved into her wet opening, moving her moisture around and sliding up to her asshole. She stiffened slightly when he moved her wetness around the tight, unused hole. His tongue licked the shell of her ear, his breathing just as heavy and irregular as hers.

  “I want to take you here, Kayla.” He emphasized his point by pressing his digit gently into the hole.

  Her whole body tightened with apprehension, and she swallowed. Her throat suddenly felt dry despite the pleasure that still moved through her cells.

  “I want to, so fucking bad, but all you have to do is say no, and I’ll stop.” He kissed her ear, the side of her throat, and then her shoulder. He continued to press his finger against her anus, but he didn’t penetrate any farther in. The pressure started off feeling awkward, but with each press of his finger against the hole, her body loosened, and a slow, pleasurable burn started to take its place.

  The hand that held her breast slid down her stomach and over her mound. His fingers spread her pussy lips apart and teased her clit as the finger that was pressing against her asshole moved in deeper. She sucked in a breath, the pleasure starting to mount.

  “Am I making you feel good, baby?”

  She nodded weakly and closed her eyes as her labia and clit started to swell with her impending orgasm.

  “Tell me what you want,” Adrik whispered against her ear. He continued rubbing his finger over her clit.

  “I want you…” She swallowed again.

  “What, baby? What do you want me to
do?”

  Oh God, could she say it? He rubbed her clit faster and pressed into her asshole further. Oh yes, yes, she could say it.

  “I want you to fuck my ass, Adrik.” He growled, and she moaned at the sound. It was so male, so animalistic and wild. She felt so weak next to him, so helpless and purely feminine.

  The sound of clothing being removed was a vague noise against her arousal. His finger took up position on her clit again, and she felt the monstrous swell of his cock against her ass. He was hot and hard and felt so good against her body. The finger that had been on her ass resumed position, and she lifted it in temptation.

  “Oh, what you do to me.” His cock was between her ass cheeks now, not penetrating her, just moving slowly up and down. Faster and faster his finger massaged her pussy, rubbing and flicking at her most sensitive spot until she thought she would pass out.

  “Yes, yes. Please, Adrik. Fuck me, fuck me now.” The pleasure that was building made her wanton and wild. She was saying things she wouldn’t normally say, but she didn’t care. She wanted him in her ass. She wanted his thick, long cock pushing past the tight ring of muscles. She wanted him to pump inside of her and come just as she did, both of them reaching orgasm at the same time.

  He pressed his thick finger into her ass, slowly thrusting inside before pressing another one beside that. In and out he worked the digits, scissoring them and stretching her wide for what was about to come. He removed his fingers from her ass and positioned his cock head at the entrance. The hole was slick and wet from her pussy juices, and she knew his way would be lubricated well.

  Her nails dug into the bark of the tree, and she braced herself. His hands moved to her ass and spread the cheeks wide. She felt exposed, but in a good way. He started to push the flared head into her. The tension eased when it pushed past the tight ring of muscle at the opening of the hole. He let go of her ass, and his hand resumed teasing her pussy. She bit her lip, and a slight burn filled her, but as his fingers worked tirelessly against her flesh, the burn subsided, and the uncomfortable feeling dissipated.
