The Royal Flush (Knights of the Darkness Chronicles(Book Three))

by Simmons, D. N.

  “Why do you ask me this?” he questioned.

  Natasha felt her heart sink; this wasn’t the response she had hoped for.

  “Well, because I love children and I want to have kids one day, hopefully one day real soon. I was hoping that you would want to have children, as well. I’ve thought about this long and hard, when I’m ready…” She paused then continued. “…When we are all ready, I want both you and Xavier to be the fathers.” She looked at both men, waiting for a response.

  Xavier’s mouth dropped open, shocked… speechless.

  Darian was also surprised, though he hid it well. “Are you sure? Are you sure you want to do this?” There was a hint of excitement and anticipation behind his semi-calm questions.

  “Yes, I’m sure!” Natasha exclaimed, nodding enthusiastically.

  “Then I want what you want, my love. The thought of having children crossed my mind many times during my earlier years. But as the centuries passed, I ceased to believe in such a possibility.” Darian took Natasha’s hands into his own. “I can’t tell you in words exactly what this means to me.” He leaned down kissing her hands, then her lips passionately.

  Xavier was equally pleased and humbled by Natasha’s decision.

  “I can’t believe it. Natasha, I am really at a loss for words.” He grinned widely as he sat down on the bed, leaning over, kissing her. “I love you so much.”

  “I know this may sound very fairy-tale-ish, but I’m going to go on ahead and be cliché.” She looked at both of her men. “You two have made me extremely happy, I feel like a little princess and I’m not ashamed to say that I’ve got to be the luckiest woman in the world.”

  “Well, you have two Princes of Darkness at your beck and call,” Xavier teased.

  Natasha smirked. “‘Princes of Darkness?’ And I thought that I was being cliché.”

  Xavier laughed.

  “Who will the father be?” Darian asked.

  Natasha turned to him. “I hope that you two will be all right with my decision.”

  Xavier shrugged. “I have complete trust in you, Natasha.”

  Darian nodded.

  “I chose Matthew. He was so honored and excited. We discussed it while at Elise’s and a few more times after that. I made an appointment for him at the fertility clinic where they would keep his ‘donation’ on ice until I’m ready. We went there this afternoon,” Natasha said.

  “Amazing,” Xavier commented.

  “Are you sure you’re”

  Xavier grabbed Natasha hands, holding them lightly in his own. “Natasha, you have no idea how happy this makes us. Matthew is a wonderful choice.”

  Darian smiled. “Xavier is right. I realize that I may be the cause of your apprehension because I haven’t said much. You needn’t be worried. This is most certainly an extraordinary gift. One that pleases me more than you could ever imagine.”

  “That makes me feel a lot better about my decision. I’m so excited.” She slid her hand away from Xavier and extended it towards Darian, fingers wiggling. He laughed as he took her hand, pulling her gently between himself and Xavier.

  Xavier wrapped his arms around Natasha’s waist as he snuggled his face against the warm flesh of her neck.

  “Everything about you is so sweet. From the scent of your skin to the generosity of your heart,” he whispered sensuously against her flesh, the vibrations of his voice tickling her erogenous zones.

  Natasha blushed and giggled. “I feel fortunate to have two men in my life who love me for who I am. I don’t know if you realized how special a thing it is to have someone really love you for whom you are, let alone two people who share the same qualities. How could I not want to bring a child into this home,” she said with the utmost sincerity. “I even have the perfect names.”

  “Oh really?” Darian asked. “What are they?”

  “Well, if you two studs have no objections, I was thinking about Xavier Richard Alexander if it’s a boy. Named after his two wonderful fathers,” Natasha said.

  “What if it’s a girl?” Darian asked.

  “Annette Elise Alexander.”

  “Beautiful, honorable names,” Darian agreed. “I see that you have thought this out very thoroughly.”

  Xavier sighed playfully. “I don’t know if I agree with the surname.”

  Natasha giggled. “Oh poor baby, you want your name added?”

  Xavier nodded pushing out his bottom lip, feigning sadness.

  “I’ll tell you what, we’ll hyphenate. Does that make my baby happy?”

  Xavier nodded, smiling widely.

  “Oh you’re carrying on badly,” Darian jested.

  Xavier smiled. “I know.”

  “You know, I was just thinking, If I have a boy, I think I’ll name him Matthew Xavier Richards-Alexander, how’s that?” Natasha asked, thinking about naming her son after his three fathers.

  “I think that’s perfect,” Xavier said.

  “Well, now I’m jealous. Why does Xavier get to have his first and last name included,” Darian teased.

  “You know what, you two need to grow up,” Natasha said, laughing along with her two lovers.

  Xavier looked at Natasha. “So have you decided when you want to have our child?”

  “I want to have children within the next three or four years. I knew that I had to be certain about becoming a mother if I was going to present my decision to the two of you.”

  “I love this woman,” Darian declared as the realization of the situation finally settled. He kissed Natasha deeply, pressing her closer to him in his embrace. Natasha laughed joyfully as she wrapped her arms around his neck. They kissed for several moments.

  “I almost don’t know what to think or how to feel. I never would have thought that becoming a father would have ever been an option for me,” Xavier said wistfully. “Thank you.”

  Natasha sat up on the bed, taking Xavier’s face into her hands as she gazed into his soft gray eyes. “I can’t think of two better fathers for my child... for our child.”

  She leaned forward, kissing him full on the mouth. A few moments later, she ended the kiss, pulling away, her gaze shifting from one man to the other. “Darian... Xavier, I want this night to be a memorable one for us all. I want us to be together. I want to share this bed with the both of you before the sun rises.”

  Darian’s forest green eyes studied her.

  “Are you most certain this is what you want?” he asked, realizing that he had asked her this same question on more than one occasion.

  Natasha never ceased to amaze him and that pleased him greatly. Xavier remained silent as he watched them.

  Natasha nodded. “I’ve had plenty of time to think about this decision, as well. It’s a big leap, I know, but I wouldn’t have said anything if I didn’t feel in my heart that it’s the right decision. Tonight, I want us to be complete... whole.”

  Darian nodded approvingly. He inched closer to her, his warm, soft hands caressing her face. He leaned closer kissing her, his tongue tentatively touching hers, stoking her inner fire. His hands pulled her closer to him, fingers finding the buttons of her shirt, unbuttoning each one. He brushed the fabric from her shoulders, leaning forward he trailed soft kisses along her exposed flesh. His lips traced over her skin up to the feminine curve of her neck where he sucked gently over her pulsating vein. Natasha moaned, reveling in the heat of Darian’s kisses.

  Xavier rose from the bed, one knee anchored on the mattress for balance. He began to slowly undress. His fingers unbuttoning his shirt almost teasingly as his eyes stayed locked on his two lovers. Darian began tracing his fingertips over the surface of Natasha’s torso, making her body vibrate with sensation. A small gasped escaped her lips when his powerful fingertips began fondling her erect nipples softly, causing the tender flesh to tingle at his touch. Natasha could feel herself moisten; she could feel the fabric of her panties dampen with the heat of her carnal passions.

  Darian inhaled deeply, his body quivered sli
ghtly. “Your scent is intoxicating, enticing.” His lips brushed Natasha’s ear. “We’re going to give you what you desire until you beg us to stop,” he whispered seductively.

  Natasha was practically past all reason. She could feel her body’s temperature rising, she radiated heat. She had craved this night, dreamt about it, never in her life had she been this aroused. Darian covered her breasts with his strong hands, fingers working their magic. She was beginning to wonder if he could bring her to orgasm with just that alone. She didn’t doubt his skill, in the time she’d known Darian she had observed that he was a master in everything that he did. Her body shook violently as she cried out.

  Darian pulled away, denying her the pinnacle of her desires. “Not yet, my love.” He dipped his tongue into the inner shell of her ear causing her to tremble with need.

  Natasha struggled to calm down; she anxiously awaited their next move. Xavier was naked now as he crawled over to them. Darian sat back on his heels, allowing Xavier to position himself between them. Natasha was so nervous. She had never been in this sort of situation before, and this was all new to her. She had no idea what to do or what to expect. Xavier began to kiss her lips softly, teasingly, lightly brushing his lips to hers, but never giving her the full pleasure of his mouth.

  Darian chuckled softly as he undressed, his fingers undoing the buttons and buckles of his clothing with ease. Soon he was naked and erect. He slid next to Xavier, his hand coming up under Xavier's chin, pulling him away from Natasha. Their tongues met in a passionate kiss. Natasha watched, transfixed by the sensuousness of their lovemaking.

  When Darian released Xavier he looked at her.

  “Lie down, relax... tonight is your night.” His tone was very loving and soothing.

  Natasha nodded and leaned back against the pillows. She stretched her legs out as she gazed at her two lovers. Xavier began to remove her skirt, his strong hands taking hold of the waistband pulling the skirt down past her ankles, discarding it. She lay on the bed; her last article of clothing was a pair of black lace bikini-cut panties. Darian chuckled as he reached for the panties, a mischievous expression crept into his face and before Natasha could possibly fathom what he would do, he ripped the underwear from her body, completely tearing the delicate fabric. Natasha yelped in surprise, her eyes widened as she watched Darian hold the torn lacey panties to his nose, inhaling deeply. She gasped, feeling a mixture of excitement, lust and a hint of bashfulness. Still, she was unable to take her eyes off him.

  Xavier chuckled as he leaned forward planting soft kisses on her neck. He traveled downward over the surface of her body, his tender lips touching all of her erogenous zones. Darian tossed the panties across the room. Leaning over her body, he began to kiss and suckle her soft flesh where Xavier had passed. Natasha’s breathing began to increase as Xavier's kisses paused over her opening. His hands parted her legs and without warning, he lunged forward, burying his face between her supple thighs. Natasha cried out in ecstasy as his tongue worked her over with pure abandon. Darian continued to suckle and finger her nipples.

  Countless minutes past before Natasha began to feel a orgasmic explosion rushing to the surface and she could not prevent it, nor did she want to. The two vampires sensed this as well, and they increased their attentions, aiding the explosion to take place. Natasha felt her passions crest and she screamed as her body released its heat. She thrashed against the two vampires furiously, until Darian’s strong hands pressed her gently onto the bed as Xavier’s skillful mouth rode her through her orgasm. Her body twitched as the remaining waves of her climax melted away. Xavier pulled back, resting on his elbows and looked at her, smiling.

  Darian leaned closer to Xavier, kissing him, tasting her essence on his tongue and lips.

  “I can hardly wait to taste you, myself,” he said when he pulled away.

  He slid around Xavier, positioning himself in front of her with amazing effortlessness. He began licking a trail down the length of Natasha body, until his mouth was mere inches from where Xavier’s had been. His tongue darted out, licking her tender sensitive flesh. His full, luscious lips pressed against her soft flesh, embracing her heat. Before she could experience another shuddering orgasm, he withdrew.

  “I haven’t even begun to pleasure you.” Darian smiled devilishly as he sat up on the bed.

  “I belong to you, take me,” Natasha panted breathlessly as she fell back against the sheets.

  “I have dreamed of this moment.” Xavier kissed Natasha fervently, his tongue aggressively exploring her mouth, sending her into a sexual frenzy.

  “So perfect,” Darian spoke softly as his eyes roamed over her smooth milk chocolate skin.

  Natasha tossed him a lusty gaze as she rolled over, climbing to her knees. She placed both palms of her hand on the bed. She looked over her shoulder at her two lovers. “I’m ready.”

  Darian winked at Xavier, not a word transpired between the two men. Xavier repositioned himself underneath Natasha. He placed his mouth on Natasha and Darian applied his skill from behind. Their tongues explored Natasha deeper and deeper before replacing their tongues with their fingers, gently as not to cause her pain. Natasha could feel what Darian was doing and she begged for more. She had never felt these sensations before; she had no idea that her body would response so hungrily. Once again, she felt herself coming closer to the final moment. When it came, both men's fingers pushed deeper into her, their tongues once again sucking and licking her tender flesh. Natasha cried out in pleasure as she rode the seemingly unrelenting waves.

  Several seconds passed before her body began to regain its normal composure. Both Xavier and Darian didn’t waste time before rolling her onto her back. Her body throbbed with passion as she felt the heat that hovered between her legs work its way through her limbs. Sweat poured freely from her pores as she looked at both men in disbelief. She wondered if she would be able to survive their union. The pleasure they induced was almost too much for her to bear.

  “I enjoyed that very much!” she said breathlessly. Both men chuckled.

  “Ahhh, there’s more,” Darian growled lustfully.

  “I want you… ,” Natasha said then she smiled as she relaxed her body. “I want you inside me.”

  Darian ran his tongue over his lips as he slid between her legs; his hands took hold of her thighs. At the same time he inched himself deeper and deeper inside of her. She arched and moaned, her fingers tightly gripping the sheets. He shuddered and moaned.

  “Your heat…” He leaned forward, hungrily, he pressed his lips against Natasha’s. “… it’s surrounding me, such an exquisite sensation.” He continued to stroke inside of her, pulling out, pushing forward rhythmically.

  He began kissing her ear, sucking her lobes gently. His hand trailed downward, his fingers caressed her most sensitive area, immediately causing her to orgasm. Darian continued his motions. His strong muscles tensing as he pulled out slowly, and very gently pushed into her. He gasped as Natasha tightened around him, his eyes closing tightly.

  Xavier smiled wolfishly as he crawled closer to him, pressing his chest to Darian’s back, his arms encircling him. Xavier began to kiss him lightly on his neck and shoulders.

  “Do you want me inside of you?” he asked teasingly.

  Darian turned his head and kissed Xavier feverishly in response.

  Without another word, Xavier oiled himself then slid into Darian with ease, both men grunted in pleasure. Natasha watched them. She saw Xavier drive deeply into Darian as he pushed into her. She had never experienced anything so erotic. She was amazed that she was actually participating. Xavier matched Darian’s rhythm and he increased the pressure of his thrust as he pushed into Darian. Natasha could barely contain herself. Darian and Xavier began to pump faster. Both of their bodies grew tense, their muscles flexing underneath their skin. Xavier’s eyes closed, he bit his bottom lip as his arms tightened around Darian’s stomach. A long shuddering moan escaped his throat as his orgasm rippled through his body
. Darian followed Xavier, tossing his head back as his body reached the point where nothing else mattered except that moment. Xavier’s fingers sought Darian’s erect nipples, fondling them, escalating his lover’s pleasure.

  He leaned closer to Darian’s ear.

  “May I?” he asked as he kissed Darian’s neck, tenderly.

  Darian’s facial expression revealed only pleasure as his orgasm continued.

  “Yes!” he panted breathlessly.

  Xavier plunged his fangs deep into Darian’s neck. He began to feed; the pleasure of his bite increased the intensity of Darian’s orgasm as well as his own. Another climax ripped through Natasha and she gasped and bucked underneath Darian and her nails dug into his forearms. Through the haze of her lust, she watched as Xavier fed from Darian, coaxing all their bodies to release their ecstasy simultaneously.

  Darian cried out breathlessly as the last of his climax trickled away. Xavier released him, his body tingling and shivering from the duel effects of both Darian’s blood and his own climax. He collapsed on top of Darian, who kept himself suspended over Natasha. Several minutes passed before he was able to pull away from Darian. All three were weak and winded as they lay there caressing each other. Their bodies trembled still as they regained their composer.

  Xavier laid on his stomach and looked at Natasha. “How do you feel?” he asked, smiling boyishly.

  “Better than I look, I reckon.” She giggled. “Now, I know for a fact that I’ve been around you two, too much.”

  “You look beautiful,” Xavier said.

  “So do you,” she said, turning toward Darian. Even though her body still tingled delightfully, she believed he held back. She was almost certain that he had and was curious to see what he could do if he didn’t. She started to wonder if he held back for Xavier as well. Natasha looked at Xavier, she didn’t know and she didn’t think it was a good time to ask either.

  Darian laid down on the opposite side of her. He brushed strands of her hair from her eyes.

  “Look at me,” his tone was extremely seductive. Natasha turned to him, their eyes meeting. “I want you to know that you have made this night very memorable, very special. You have also made me extremely happy.” He kissed her deeply then he kissed Xavier.
