Bound: A Lamian Wars Novel (The Lamian Wars Book 1)

by C. M. Steele

  “Of course I know that. I can’t say I liked her from the moment I met her, so I’m super happy she’s gone.”

  “How happy?” I asked, rubbing my hand over her mound. Seeing her in a skirt screwed with my head. I needed to be in her right now. I grabbed the hem and lifted it up until I reached the edge of her panties, running my fingers against her covered slit, I could feel how soaked she was. “Very happy, it seems,” I whispered against her ear, sending shivers down her body. I felt the door move and decided it was best to take our party away from the door.

  I walked her over to my desk with my hands pressed firmly to her hips.

  “Bend over the desk,” I demanded. She turned her face to me with a surprised but hungry expression. She leaned over the desk and lifted her skirt over her hips. I let out a growl of animalist satisfaction as I stared at her round ass that she displayed for me. My fangs came down, ready to bite on her supple bottom.

  I splayed my palms over her cheeks, giving them a squeeze before I slid her panties down her thighs. I would have torn them to shreds, but I didn’t care for her walking around with her pussy unclothed. I’d have to rip someone’s head off it they tried to take a peek at her pink center that belonged to me. With my face pressed to her flesh, I moved up her thighs, kissing her soft skin until I reached her pussy. Her scent hit my nose and I felt the first drops of pre-come soak my boxers. I parted her cheeks, licking her from behind and tasting her need. She was going to come and I was going to get every bit of it on my tongue. Slipping my finger into her wet pussy while I licked her clit, she let out a moan then a hiss. She was on the brink, but I wanted us to come together. Standing, I undid my pants and dropped them along with my boxers below my knees, unleashing my hardened cock. I stroked it and pressed it against her ass, leaving a wet trail on the seam of her bottom as I lined it up with her heat. I leaned over her back and pushed my way into her depths.

  She grunted while I groaned as her walls encased my cock. Her warmth held me captive. I was about to come as she arched her back and bent her arm backwards, cupping the back of my head.

  “Bite me, Falcon.”

  I didn’t hesitate at her request. Sliding her blouse to the side, I closed my lips around her pulsing vein and bit down. We both felt the immediate release as the rush of pleasure flooded our bodies. My hips pumped into hers, pushing her onto the desk and shaking everything around.

  I grunted out against her flesh as my orgasm was pulled from me and my seed coated her vibrating walls. She clutched my wrist and lifted my sleeve, biting me to muffle her scream. We collapsed briefly on the desk, heaving hard until we steadied ourselves.

  “I needed that,” I whispered in her ear.

  “Me, too. I may need to be called into the boss’s office more often.”

  “That you can count on,” I muttered, pulling out of her and watching as my come slid down her thighs. I took in a deep breath and loved our mixed scent that coated the air.

  ~~~~~

  I visited my brother, leaving Leonora with Draco and Charlotte. No one had contacted me in the last three weeks about her, and I had to verify that word hadn't gotten out about us finding our mates. I arrived there in a flash, but there was no one in the castle. I just messaged my brother two hours ago. I searched the castle and found my nephew sitting there at the grand table with his legs resting on top.

  “Where's your father?”

  “He's out of town with mother.”

  “But he messaged me to come here.”

  “That was me.” He had a sinister look on his face. There was something about him that always bothered me. “What did you want?”

  “What do I want? What I want is to be normal. What's the point of being a vampire if I have to live in the shadows while people like you get to enjoy the day light?”

  “Did you think I asked for this to happen? I spend every day looking for a way to bring everyone back to the light. What are you doing to help yourself? I'm not the one who caused this.”

  “No, your mother did,” Nero sneered at me. The venom in his words would have scared a lesser vampire, but I had over three-hundred years over him.

  “My mother died for her people. The Lamia did this. Kyros Stavros did this. You're a fool if you think anything else, and if you say another word about my mother, I’ll forget we’re family and end you like I should have done to Stavros.”

  “He said you were ruthless.”

  “You know nothing. Your birth was two hundred years after the darkness struck. If Stavros hadn’t poisoned our people, we’d all be living in the light.”

  “He said you’d blame him.”

  “You’re playing a dangerous game, Nero. Tell your master that if he wants a war to bring it. I’ve waited centuries to deal with him, but death was too good for him. You betray your family and disgrace the name Lombardi and I promise your fate will be the same as his.”

  I transported myself back home, pacing the floor of the living room. I was not fit to see my bride. Leonora didn’t need to worry. She’d been living in a state of secrecy from everyone, and I wondered if we’d ever be safe again.

  Leonora, I’m coming to get you.

  I’ll be ready, my lord. I rolled my eyes and quickly transported myself into Draco’s home. I needed my woman and I needed her now. I waved to them before pulling her into my arms and transporting her back to the house. With us trapped inside for the night, I planned to do so many wicked things to her body. My anger needed an outlet, and I was going to fuck her until all the pain and frustration subsided.

  “Falcon, that was fast. I can smell your longing, my lord. Is there anything you need?”

  “Knees now,” I ordered through gritted teeth as I undid my pants. She lowered herself down to the floor and slipped her tongue along my stiffened length. A growling moan escaped my throat as she took me down deeper. Her small hand cupped my sack, making my balls tight and ready to come.

  I took hold of her hair, grasping it at her ponytail, and slowly fucked her pretty face. My lovely mate looked up at me with need in her eyes. She wanted more, so I started pumping faster, enjoying the sight of her greedily rubbing her thighs together as she sucked me off. She moaned around my cock and I couldn’t contain my need any longer. I emptied my sac into her mouth. Jets of come hit the back of her throat and I could feel her swallow it down.

  I hurriedly picked her up off the floor because there was no way I was done for the night just because I came. Tearing off her dress and letting the pieces fall to the floor, I dropped to my knees. Her scent was strong and all I could think about. I ripped her panties off and pushed her onto the bed. Parting her legs, I pressed my face into her wet heat. Her pussy was dripping with desire and I lapped up every drop, making her cream all over my face and demanding more. I wanted to drink my fill and I craved her cries of pleasure.

  My desire to come was building faster and faster. Nearly on the brink of coming, I lifted up and thrusted my length inside of her. Her warmth had been so needed. She tilted her head back and I could see her fangs. Something about them turned me on. Maybe it was knowing that she was completely mine or that we were one, but I felt the need to celebrate it. I pumped my hips forward hard, knowing that I wasn’t hurting her because she was just like me.

  Grabbing hold of her thigh, I raised it up and started working her depths from an angle. She cried out, her hands stretching above her head and clutching onto the end of the bed just under the headboard. Her eyes closed and lips parted as she moaned out. Everything about her was provocative from her cries to her sexy expression. I didn’t deserve her, but I wouldn’t give her back. She was mine for eternity if not longer. The sound of her panting mixed with my grunts was like a symphony in my head.

  “More,” she demanded, her head lifting off the mattress. She pressed her hands to my chest, then proceeded to claw me. I was about to come so hard I didn’t know if I could make it.

  I pushed her head to the side and bent down, licking her neck before drinking from
her. My fangs pierced her throbbing vain and, instantly, we were both struck with an intense, euphoric orgasm. I felt my come spray her walls and hit her cervix, hoping to take root. Her body squeezed out every drop of come while soaking my cock with hers.

  I tilted my head, giving her room to sink in. Her fangs shined as she smiled at me before drinking from me. It pushed us into another orgasm before the first was done. Our bodies were still grinding against each other as the remnants of our passion ran their course. I closed her wound with a swipe of my tongue as she closed mine with her pretty, pink tongue. We fell to the bed, completely worn, but it wouldn’t be long before we were on each other again. Perhaps it was pent up desire or it was natural, however, nothing but fatigue stopped our voracious appetite. I wrapped her up in my arms as I covered us with the blankets.

  This had been just what I needed to forget what happened with Nero. I didn’t understand his motives or his blind hatred. Stavros had confused him so well that he couldn’t see the truth. No one would be in the dark if it hadn’t been for Stavros or Vasco. They were the ones who poisoned all the damned souls. He blamed me as though he wasn’t related to my mother, who he held completely responsible. It made no sense, but sometimes there was nothing you could do to fix stupid.

  Chapter Twenty-Five—Leonora

  My mind had been full of a ton of questions. For being united forever, we still had a bunch of communication issues. This is new to both of us, so it will take time, but there was a war ahead of us and communication was going to be needed to stay strong and united. Hell, normal relationships fell apart because of a lack of communication.

  “Do you want to talk about what happened at the castle?” I asked as we laid in bed after another round of amazing sex. I should have been exhausted, but all I felt was pleasurably sated. It was already dark out and tomorrow was Saturday, so our only plans were to stay in bed and worship each other. He didn’t respond, so I sat up and clutched the covers to my chest because I wanted his brain to be focused. I stared down at him as I waited impatiently for an answer, my face starting to contort scornfully.

  He sat up and took a deep breath because I could tell he didn’t want to voice what happened. “Really, it was a set up by my nephew. I don’t know what his point was because he only let me know he’s working for The Lamia and Stavros.” He rubbed his face in frustration. It was hard when someone couldn’t see reason and they were family. I would say fuck them, but I tried to take an objective view on it. After all, not all beings were like my parents, though, they could give Stavros a run for his money in my eyes.

  I thought about Nero’s idiocy and it reminded me of the typical bad guy. “Why would he tell you? That is kind of like the bad guy in the movies who tells you his plan before he attempts to kill you.”

  “I know. I don’t know what his motive was. Maybe to rile me up, hoping that I’d act rashly.”

  “Have you ever been known to act rashly?” I looked at him a bit funny because he didn’t seem like a rash person, well, unless it came to me. Then the beast in him showed itself. I loved it; it did things to my pussy, but it could be damaging to the whole ‘vampires aren’t real’ thing they tried to keep going.

  “No. Not even when I came back to mourn my parents. I waited and watched Stavros because I didn’t trust that he was as innocent as he claimed. I was right, but I wished that I wasn’t at that time.”

  “Yes, but then you wouldn’t have known who else was involved. Every time one evil leader is taken out another learns to take his place. How about tomorrow we train some more. We haven’t trained very much,” I had to remind him. There was no point in this if I wasn’t going to actually learn something.

  “That’s because every time I pin you to the ground I find my dick working its way inside.” He had a point there. It was a shit ton of fun, but I needed to be prepared. I could sense his fear for my safety, but when he was close to me, his need to procreate took over and I always ended up with his dick in me.

  “Perhaps Draco should train me,” I offered. It was the reasonable and smart choice to make.

  “Nope.” He shook his head pursed his lips.

  I smacked his arm, earning me a raised brow. “Why? Isn’t he your best warrior and friend.”

  “Yes, but I might want to rip his head off if he even nicks you,” he said, moving his face closer to mine, and like that, the chemistry was about to explode.

  “You’re crazy,” I whispered, my head tilting and inching closer to his.

  “For you, I am. And there’s no cure for it, so you’ll just have to deal with it. Now, come here because I’m not done with you for the night,” he growled. Bypassing my slow movements, I found myself on his lap straddling him. My pussy was rubbing against his naked cock, and like a bitch in heat, I was grinding my slit up and down the vein that ran down the shaft of his cock trying to come.

  His mouth took mine while his hands lifted me up like I was a feather then impaled me down on his cock. I moaned as he filled me up, grazing my womb with his length. He grunted against my lips before biting into the softness, causing me to bleed just a little. It was my turn, I nipped at his, not breaking the skin, but that wasn’t where I planned to bite him. Peppering kisses along his scruff, I licked his jaw and ran my tongue down to the pulsing vein on his neck. With my body rocking up and down as he fucked up into me, I bent down, licking my lips before pressing my fangs into his neck. He roared, his come filling me up as I moaned on his flesh, my orgasm washing through me with his blood. My pussy sucked up all his come as I pulled off his neck, running my tongue along my mark and sealing it with a kiss.

  He grabbed my hair and pulled my head roughly to look in his eyes, and with a growl, he stared at me hard and fierce before kissing me and letting his feelings pour through him and into me. Collapsing in a sweaty heap, we laid there wrapped up in each other.

  “Tomorrow we’ll start training.”

  “Sunday or in a few hours?” I asked for clarification. Truly, I wasn’t ready to get my ass whooped, but it was necessary, especially in my new existence.

  He squeezed me tight and grumbled halfway to passing out. “In a few hours. It would be better sooner rather than later.”

  “I know, but I don’t relish getting beat up,” I replied, snuggling against his chest.

  “I won’t beat you up.”

  “Yeah, well your definition versus mine might be very different,” I said, lifting my head to give him warning, but my big beast was worn out.

  “We’ll see,” he drowsily replied.

  Yes, we would, but would I be able to handle it? I was doubting it.

  ~~~~~~

  “Get up,” he hissed, his eyes fierce and black. Falcon just sat me on my ass in one shot. The look on his face was angry and it hurt my feelings, but I got up anyway. I tried to ready myself, but I was facing someone who was skilled after fighting for centuries. In my stance, I started to shift, and with a swift kick, I found myself in the air and my ass hitting the ground.

  “Again,” he called out, this time his face was angrier. And I did all I could to hold back the tears. I got into a crouching stance with my legs spread a little further apart and this time I studied his body, not his face, and that’s when I saw his leg come, I caught it and spun him around. He hit the ground hard, but I didn’t care. I stomped out of the training area with tears streaming down my face.

  I was a total freaking wreck. How was I supposed to train to fight vampires when I couldn’t stop being upset? He was on me in a second, his hand wrapped around me and pressing my back to his sweaty chest. “I’m sorry, Nora. I didn’t mean to hurt you.”

  “I’m not hurt,” I bit out, trying to fight back the tears. He spun me around in his arms and tipped my chin like he always did.

  “Then tell me why you’re crying. I swear, my love, I never meant to make you cry.” He wiped the tears away, and I hated that I was mad and at the same time wanted his comfort. I was a ball of messed up emotions.

  “You loo
ked at me like you hated me. You yelled at me like I was nothing.”

  “God, my beloved. You’re everything to me. You know I was just trying to train you.” He pressed his lips to mine for a short peck. “If I focused on the fact that I wanted to stick my cock between your bouncing breasts we would have been in the same position we always end up in. I swear, nothing in me could ever hate you.”

  “I’m sorry, Falcon. It’s just you’re scary when you’re angry and I’m not ready for that.”

  “Go change into something less revealing, and I’ll call Draco to come train with you.” I was wearing a sports bra and tight workout pants, so I got what he meant. For Draco, my looks meant nothing to him and Falcon knew it, but if it helped with Falcon’s possessiveness then I would change.

  “Thank you,” I cheered. Draco would train me and then maybe I would make it through a full training session.

  Chapter Twenty-Six—Falcon

  This had to be the longest training session of my life. I looked at my watch so often and it never seemed to move. It was three hours later when she was finally done training with Draco. Charlotte came by to watch because Draco wasn’t going to leave her at the house alone and I understood that, but she was having just about as hard a time as I was watching Draco and Nora pin each other down. If we didn’t know better, it would come off as very sexual. His hands held hers above her head so she couldn’t move and his cock was on her chest. He was wearing a cup, but that still was in my head. The possessive man in me wanted to tear him limb from limb, but I knew it came with the territory. I couldn’t train her and she needed to be trained as much as possible. So far, she didn’t have a lot of vampire skills. I didn’t know if she would, either, and it kind of made me bit nervous. There was so much at stake that it was necessary for her to be able to fight alongside me. It wasn’t that I couldn’t take care of her, but they would come in droves to get me and there was only so many I could handle at once.
