She climbed back on the bed and this time she lay in the center. She spread her legs wide and waited to see what would happen. Reyes didn’t move but he and Aurel seemed to have a silent conversation because Aurel climbed between her legs slowly. He kissed the top of her foot and all the way up her leg. Reyes sat up and wrapped his large hand around her ankle and stretched it toward him giving Aurel more access to her core.
Her sweet lover growled and then he struck. He licked her slit and swirled his tongue pushing inside of her. Her hips came up the bed and she screamed. But then there were hands holding her down. When she opened her eyes she was looking at Reyes. He smiled reassuringly.
“It’s okay let him eat you luv, he wants to make you come.”
She nodded trusting them. There was something about them. She felt almost as if they actually cared for her. And that she was more than a fun ride. Reyes leaned over her and caged her upper body between his arms and kissed her. The same way he had before. He took his time and then she felt his teeth scrap her tongue. She tasted the blood and felt his body tense as he did the same thing Aurel had done. He sucked her tongue and groaned. It probably should have freaked her out, but with his kisses and Aurel licking her like no man ever had she found it didn’t matter that her lovers both seemed to like her blood. Her hips rose and she pushed further into his mouth begging for more, and when he slowed his pace she whimpered in Reyes’ mouth.
Her body was sensitive. Every touch brought her closer to the edge. Her hips bucked against his mouth and he bit her clit. She shrieked and came undone. Her body tensed and then shook as he licked her faster quickly bringing on a second release this time stronger than the first. She pulled back from Reyes and fell back against the pillows. Her body twitched and she shook with aftershocks. It was too much and she couldn’t take much more. Finally Aurel pulled away and licked his lips as he watched her. She relaxed her body the best she could, but somehow before she knew what happened Aurel and Reyes switched placed, and now Reyes licked her. She looked down her body and as if he knew she was watching he looked up at her. His eyes had gone dark with lust and then he licked pussy, the same way he kissed her. Slow and steady like he had all the time in the world. She moaned and squirmed. She was too sensitive.
“Do you want him to stop and make love to you now?” Aurel asked, his voice thick with desire.
Nadia nodded and fell back to the bed.
Reyes nipped her thigh. “You have to tell us, luv.”
She wondered why they made her say everything out loud but remembered the no questions rule. “Yes please.” She couldn’t bring herself to ask him to make love to her, that wasn’t what this was. She had to remember that this was her one and only one night stand. It just happened to be with two sexy men that turned her on and made her heart pound more than any other man ever had. She had to stop the feelings that were already forming, It was much too soon for them, and would end up breaking her heart if she allowed them. Hell, they hadn’t even talked. Keeping it casual was harder than she imagined. They made it difficult with their heated looks and sweet talk. But she could do this. She could sleep with two men and then never see them again. Or so she hoped.
Chapter 6
Reyes was ready. She was ready, but he didn’t feel right. He wanted his mate to know what he was, and accept him. But this was how it worked. They marked her, each one of them taking a bit of her blood, and then they had to wait until she accepted them. It could take one day or ten. Sometimes it was never. It all depended on if she felt the bond. Some humans didn’t and easily walked away from their vampire mate, and others felt the bond, and the connection as well as their vampire did. It was old school but a tradition they chose to keep.
She watched him with such want that he couldn’t help but smile. She was melting him in a way no other woman had. He hovered over her with his dick poised at her entrance and leaned down to kiss her leisurely. She wrapped her legs around his waist lifted her hips rubbing her wet pussy against the head. He kissed her deeper and thrust against her. The tip slid in and she gyrated and kept pulling him deeper in her. He let her have the control sensing her need to do this. It took all of his control not to take charge like he normally did, but there was something about her. He wanted to give her anything she wanted. She was insecure, though she had no reason to be. She was perfect. She also seemed to be seeking a change in her life.
She growled in frustration when he pulled back. And he chuckled. He couldn’t help it.
“Please, I want you inside of me—now.”
That was all it took. His gums ached and his eyes turned dark. He slid his dick in with one deep thrust. Her eyes widened and she gasped. He held still allowing her a minute but she raised her hips grinding against him.
He growled and pulled out before slamming into her. She screamed and her eyes rolled back. Then they made fast and furious love. She was enthusiastic and met every thrust. She scratched his back and squeezed her legs tightly around his waist holding him close.
He gave her a quick peck and picked up his pace. The bed creaked and he could sense Aurel’s arousal. He was watching them and that thought alone had him thrusting harder and faster. She moaned, cried, and nearly sobbed but then she bite his shoulder and screamed. His dick jerked inside of her and he came with a roar and then he struck.
His fangs elongated and he bit her neck. She shrieked again and he held her close as her body shook from her orgasm as he fed from her taking enough blood to start the bond. He licked the marks instantly healing them. She wouldn’t see them but every other vampire would know she was his. He pulled out gently and rolled off of her. She was breathing heavily and as much as he was ready to hold her close, he had to share, and Aurel waited patiently for his turn.
Reyes looked to his friend. His eyes shined with worry and excitement. He was aroused and ready to mate. His eyes were so dark they looked black and his fangs were already out. He looked at Nadia to see if she was about to run away and scream, but she was looking at Aurel with fascination. Still she didn’t ask questions, but this time Aurel did.
“Are you afraid?”
“No,” she replied and Reyes could sense she wasn’t lying. She really wasn’t afraid. He smiled thinking there was hope for them after all. She accepted Aurel when he looked his worst.
Aurel wanted to shout with joy, but he was too far gone. He was so deep into lust and he needed her right then, he couldn’t wait any longer. Not when she looked at him with desire even when he knew he looked like a monster. When she said she didn’t fear him dick jumped. “Do you want me Nadia?”
She nodded, but then seemed to remember he expected her to say it out loud.
“Yes, I want you. Please make love to me.”
His eyes darkened further and he groaned. Hearing those words come from those beautiful lips nearly brought him to his knees. Normally he was controlled but he was on the verge of losing control. Watching Reyes make love to her had him panting. Her pleasure was his pleasure and every cry and moan had his dick hardening further until he thought he would burst. But now it was his turn and he was going to make her scream his name. He crawled on the bed and she spread her legs further inviting him in. Reyes moved to the side and watched them, much like he had before. He growled and watched her for any signs of fear. She cupped his jaw and looked at him so sweetly it toned done the feeling of wanting to tear into her. He closed his eyes and allowed her touch to calm him.
“It’s okay, you said you were different. I still see you Aurel. You’re a sweetheart.”
When he opened his eyes he was almost back to normal. Her words humbled him. No one ever reacted so calmly to his other side. She accepted him. He smiled and hovered over her and kissed her soft. She licked his bottom lip and nipped it. “Kiss me baby,” she said and he opened his mouth.
He let his woman take control and as she wrapped her arms around his neck, and her legs around his waist. He knew he was home, and in one thrust he was buried deep inside of her and swallowed
her cry of passion. He made love to her slow and sensual thrusting slow and steady for as long as he could manage. She pulled back from his kiss and tilted her head to the opposite side that Reyes had marked.
She was submitting to him and he wanted to roar. He heard Reyes groan knowing he noticed her submission and knowing what it meant. She would be theirs fully. His gums ached and his fangs lengthened. He bit down on her neck enjoying her sigh of pleasure. He continued to make love to her as he fed. She moaned and met each thrust crying out his name when she orgasmed. It was then he came deep inside of her and licked her neck healing the marks.
She fell back against the bed with a sleepy smile. He didn’t move and she held him close. He felt whole for the first time in his life. She was his and that was all that mattered. Already he loved her, and he couldn’t wait until she accepted them fully.
Chapter 7
At dawn both Aurel and Reyes fell into a deep sleep and Nadia sighed in relief. Staying awake had been harder than she thought, but she pushed through. No matter how much she enjoyed them and even though she knew they were different, she couldn’t stay. It didn’t matter that they whispered sweet nothings in her ear telling her how much they cared about her and how much they wanted her. It was all talk. They hadn’t asked her to stay, and she hadn’t expected them to. They could have any number of women they wanted and for a night they chose her, the girl with curves they wouldn’t disappear.
She had her night of fun, but it was time to go while she could. If she didn’t she was afraid she’d beg them to keep her, and that was too desperate even for her. It was a one night stand, with two amazing men who rocked her to the core. Never before had she experienced anything like making love to them both, and she would never forget them.
She lifted Aurel’s arm and sat up laying it on the bed. There was movement behind his closed lids but he didn’t wake up. She slid off the bed and looked at them sleeping. Both of them were gorgeous and she was lucky to leave with the memories of their night. She grabbed her clothes and tiptoed from the room. No note, no goodbye. She would disappear as if she had never even been there in the first place. She did what she had come to do, and now she wanted to go home and drown her sorrows.
In the hallway she slipped on her clothing and pulled her hair from her face before she stepped into her shoes. They felt rough against her skin. She had bruises and scratches all over her body and ached in ways she never dreamed, but it didn’t matter. The physical pains would go away and then the only thing that would be left was her vivid memories.
She walked down the hall and then down a set of stairs she didn’t even remember. She shook her head and cringed. She needed a hot bath to soothe the pain away. Her eyes filled with tears when she walked down the stairs. She opened the door and went outside.
“Shit,” she said when she realized she hadn’t called a cab first. She called the directory and found a number to call a cab. Then she had to walk to the end of the driveway to find the address. She shook her head realizing she hadn’t planned her escape well. While she waited on the cab praying they wouldn’t wake up before she was gone, she called the airport and scheduled her flight home. Then she called the hotel and they told her they could send her things back to her in New York so thankfully she didn’t have to go back there first.
She heard the crunch of gravel and knew it was the cab. She was almost home free and she bit her lip nervously. Would they be mad she left or would they be grateful she took it upon herself to let herself out? A part of her wished it would be the first. If they were angry she left than it meant she meant more than a night of fucking to them.
No. I will not let this bring me down. It was fun, but now it’s done. The yellow car drove slowly towards her, and with one last look at the house she smiled and wiped her tears. She wouldn’t allow herself to be sad. She knew what she was getting herself into, and it was exactly why she was going home, and back to her boring life. It was safer that way, and no one got hurt.
Chapter 8
Reyes woke up first as usual. He rubbed the spot where Nadia laid and found the sheet cold to the touch. She was gone. His eyes shot open and he sat up. Even her scent was fading from the room. He jumped out of bed and blurred downstairs hoping she had made herself at home and found the food Aurel kept around for the humans. But in his heart he knew she was gone. Just like that she had left them. He shook his head and growled. He sniffed the air by the door. There was a lingering scent of her and her—tears. She left upset.
He went back upstairs trying to figure out if either he or Aurel had hurt her. But he couldn’t think of anything. She had cried, but for what reason? Was it because she left thinking something awful or because she didn’t want to leave? If she left because she thought they would want her to; that would be easy enough to fix. He hoped. But if she left because of them, because she was freaked out about all the things they did, than he knew they’d lost her.
“Aurel wake up!” he said on the verge of panic. Never before would he have felt so emotional about a woman, but with Nadia it was different. He’d marked her and she left. It was tearing him a part and he wanted to get to her and find out why she left them. Why she left him.
Aurel opened his eyes and looked to where their mate no longer was and he shot up. “She left.”
“Yeah, she left but we’re going to get her back.”
Aurel shook his head sadly. “I tried to wake up, to stop her, but I wasn’t able to pull out of my need to sleep. It fucking sucks. I let her walk right out of here and there wasn’t a damn thing I could do about. I could feel how much she didn’t want to leave, and how much it hurt her, but she didn’t think we wanted her to stay.”
“But we marked her, and she submitted to you.”
“Only because it was in the moment. She has no idea what we really are and she didn’t know what it meant when we marked her. She probably just thinks we’re a couple of guys who got off by drinking blood.” He shrugged. “Either way we are going to New York. And then we are going to tell her she is ours and that she is never going to leave us again.”
“I agree, and after I spank her ass for doubting our feelings we are going to make love to her—together.”
“Are you okay with that?” Aurel asked.
“Yes, nothing would make me happier. Both of us have to be inside of her to complete the bond fully.”
He and Aurel packed their bags, planning to stay in New York until they convinced Nadia to come home with them and left the house in a rush. They planned to drive straight through. With the dark tint on their windows they’d be safe as long as they filled the gas take again before the sun rose.
* * * *
Nadia sat at her desk, much like she had before and every night after her two nights away. She’d come back and no one was surprised she couldn’t even take a vacation, but no longer cared when others mocked her need to constantly worked. She was heartbroken. It was her fault. She could have stayed. At least until they told her to leave, but instead she thought leaving would protect her heart. She was wrong. It had only been two days and she had barely been able to sleep. She cried nonstop and her manuscripts were getting ruined by her tears. Inside and out she slowly fell apart.
There was a knock on her door and her assistant walked in. “Nadia why don’t you go home. I’ll get this tonight.”
“No I’m good.”
Her assistant walked further into the room. “No really, people are talking. I don’t want you to lose your job. Go home and finish your vacation.”
She nodded relenting knowing her assistant was right. “Okay, I’m going. I’ll call and check in though.”
“That’s fine just scoot.”
She stood and walked out of her office. She needed to sleep and maybe drink her sorrows away. She knew she shouldn’t be so hurt over two men she had just met, and never intended to see again, but she felt like she was missing a part of herself, and it didn’t feel good. She ached and crying did nothing to ease the pain. She had a f
eeling only two men, who weren’t just men, would be able to take her sadness away.
On her way home she stopped for ice cream and wine; her two best friends. When she pulled into her driveway she sighed. Coming home wasn’t the same. Not when she wished she had someone—two someone’s—to come home to. She wiped away her tears and opened her car door. Cradling her ice cream and wine in her arms she stood and then kicked her door shut not caring if she scratched the paint.
She walked to the door and juggled her things in her arms, pulled out her keys and carefully unlocked her door. Inside she went straight to the kitchen. Something in her house felt strange and she shivered. Shrugging it off she used her elbow to flip on the light and screamed. Her ice cream and wine would have fallen to the floor if Aurel hadn’t caught it using his super speed. Her jaw dropped and her eyes widened. She wasn’t sure what to feel.
“What the hell are you doing here?” Her first instinct was to be pissed to cover up how much they scared her. “You can’t just come into my house without my knowing. You scared the shit out of me.” Her heart raced and she watched as Aurel set her comfort on the table.
“Now you understand hand we feel?” he replied harshly.
She reeled back as if she’d been slapped. “I did you a favor. I left before you had to tell me to leave.”
He stepped in front of her, but didn’t touch her. She could feel his tension but she held her ground.
“You did us a favor you say? How do you think we felt when we woke up and you were gone? No note, nothing. You left me—you left us.” He pointed to Reyes who had yet to say anything.
“I—I figured the night was over and it would be easier if I left.”
He stepped closer and his body brushed against hers. He softened as if he could hear how much it had hurt her to leave. Her heart thudded in her chest and her pulse raced. She tipped her head back to look him in the eyes.
