Bite Me

by Aidy Award

  Ciara was perky and bright. It was hard to tell her no. “It will be fine. We need to see if it can help. See if you can get us to do something we wouldn’t normally do.”

  “I don’t like this.”

  Ky didn’t either. If need be, he would defend his mate against any other dragon on the face of the planet. Even his own fellow Wyverns, his brotherhood.

  The other women returned from the kitchen. Fleur said, “We have to go to the community garden to get the rhubarb. I only have stalks and the leaves and roots are the most toxic.”

  Ky nodded to her. “Steele and Dax will take you. But first, we’re going to try a little experiment. It will work even better if we can see if she has a different effect on mated versus unmated dragons.”

  He hated how uncomfortable this made Jada, but Jakob was right. He lifted her hand to his lips and kissed the inside of her wrist, drawing her attention away from the other dragons and their mates.

  “This could be a powerful weapon. I know you don’t want to, but I promise to protect you if anything goes wrong.”

  Jada chewed on her lip, worrying the skin there. “This is still a bad idea, but I’ll try.”

  “Thank you.”

  “Get Dax in here.”

  “Wait. See if Jada can get him to do it.”

  Jada rolled her eyes and shook her head. “I hope he’s got a girlfriend.”

  “I’ll throw him in the fountain if can’t keep his cool.”

  Jada nodded and closed her eyes, concentrating as if in a quiet meditation. When she opened them, her pupils had gone from normal sized to full blown, making her eyes look completely black. She tipped her head and aimed her forehead at the hallway to the kitchen.

  Metal clanged to the floor and Fleur winced but didn’t say anything. In fact, no one said a word. They were all focused completely on Jada.

  Dax stalked into the living room, as if he was hunting prey. That prey was Jada. He growled low and deep at Ky. “Get away from her, Puru. She’s mine.”

  “I told you this was a bad idea.”

  Ky stood and blocked Jada from Dax’s path and sight. His dragon rippled across his skin, wanting to protect its mate. “Can you turn it off?”

  Jada blinked. “I already have, but it lasts for hours.”

  Talons extended from Dax’s hands and red scales shimmered across his skin. Smoke poured from his nostrils.

  “Oh, crap. He’d going to light our house on fire.” Fleur moaned.

  “Jada. Don’t push it down, turn your allure on him full force, but tell him what you want from him.” Ninsy’s voice was low.

  “If I use the full power of it, everyone else will be affected too.” Jada shook her head, everything in her body language screaming ‘no way.’

  Ninsy wasn’t fazed. “Probably, but you can control the situation.”

  Fleur tipped her head to the side, as if trying to remember something. “Wait, how much of your power are you using on him right now?”

  “Maybe ten percent. I rarely need much more than that.”

  “I felt this last night. I thought my hormones were out of whack. But, it was you, wasn’t it?”

  Jada nodded at Fleur. “Sorry about that. It sort of slipped out. Moment of weakness.”

  Ninsy interrupted again. “Use it all, Jada. Let go.”

  Jada sighed and addressed the other women. “Please, take ahold of your dragons’ hands, or sit on their laps or something. I don’t know what’s going to happen.”

  Both women scrambled to do as she requested. Dax lurked closer, never taking his eyes off Ky.

  He’d put Dax on ice before he allowed the red dragon to touch his mate.

  Jada slipped her hand into Ky’s. She vibrated with power, sending a warm glow through him. His own shard lit up and Dax glared at it and him.

  Ninsy's voice was quiet but commanding, like a yogi guiding new initiates to the path of consciousness. “Now, Jada. You can do this. Open your heart and your mind.”

  Jada sucked in a long breath and held it for a count of three. Then the room filled with a pulsing energy so intense Ky almost came right there in his pants like a randy teenaged dragon chasing his first woman.

  Dax fell to his knees, then all fours. He roared, flames licking at his lips, but he fought the shift and his dragon stayed contained.

  Ky’s cock pushed at his pants, going from ready to harder than stone in an instant. Every dragon in the room sported tents in their pants, and there was no hiding it.

  “Holy Mother Earth,” Fleur whispered. She sat on Steele’s knee and looked at his lap like her eyes had no other place in the room to go.

  Ciara’s eyes went wide and she yanked her mate up from his chair and began dragging him away.

  “Excuse us, please. I need to, we are…we’ll be right back. In about three hours.”

  Jada slumped into her chair. “Ah crap. See. I told you this is what would happen. It’s just sex.”

  “Ciara, wait. Command them, Jada. Ask them to do what you want from them.” Ninsy didn’t seem to be having any response to Jada’s powers at all.

  Ky was ready to rip Jada’s clothes off and take her right there on the carpet. Ninsy looked mildly interested in what Jada was doing, but nothing else.

  “What do you mean?”

  “Try it, mistress. See what happens.”

  “What do I say?”

  “You decide. But, do it quickly. Your allure is already beginning to fade.”

  So, she did feel it, but it didn’t do anything to her. Dax on the other hand looked ready to pounce.

  “Umm. Okay, here goes. Don’t kill me for this. It’s the only thing I could think of. Everybody do the chicken dance.”

  Ky found his arms folding into triangles and his thumbs tucked themselves up under his arm pits. Then he started flapping his elbows.

  Dax moved to his feet and did the same. “What the fuck is going on?”

  Ciara and Fleur both burst into laughter, but neither Jakob nor Steele joined in the dance.

  “Ladies,” Ninsy held out her hand indicating to the women, “ask your mates to do the same, if you would please.”

  Ciara sighed, but whispered into her mate’s ear. His eyes narrowed at her, but she whispered something else and his look turned to lust.

  He flapped his arms in the same way as Ky.

  “Steele, dear. Chicken it up, my love.”

  Steele scowled, but joined the other men.

  “This could come in very handy. Jada, wouldn’t you like to come on an extended visit to the Czech Republic? We have a lovely guest house on our property.

  Jakob scowled at Ciara making promises with his eyes and flapping chicken wings. “Does this work the other way around?”

  “Find out for yourselves,” Ninsy said.

  Steele’s scowl turned into a grin. “Come here and give me a good long kiss, my flower.”

  “You don’t have to compel me to do that.” Fleur’s shard glowed, and she kissed Steele long and hard. One little, two little, three little flowers popped up in her hair. “I have a lot more things in mind, but they aren’t appropriate in front of our company.”

  Steele waggled his eyebrows at his mate. “You don’t have to make me do any of what is on your dirty mind either. I’ll happily fulfill all those fantasies later.”

  Jakob whispered something in Ciara’s ear and she instantly flapped her arms in the air like the men. Her cheeks also flushed much deeper than what the little bit of exertion called for.

  The shard at her neck sparkled too.

  Dax huffed. “Are we done with your little game? My arms are getting tired.”

  He whined, but there was still lust in his eyes when he looked at Jada.

  Jada’s jaw hung open. “Oh. Sorry. Yeah. Umm. At ease.”

  Ky’s arms fell to his side and the vibrating power he’d felt before lifted. He still had a throbbing hard on and a need to take Jada in every way possible.

  Jada blew out a long breath and took ho
ld of Ky’s hand again. “That was exhausting.”

  He ran a hand over her head and through her hair, then pulled her up and kissed her quickly but with a lick and a promise for more to come later “And amazing. Still think you can’t make the Black Dragon do what you want?”

  He knew the second Jada opened her mouth he would fly to the moon and back if she asked him too. It was more than a little disconcerting that Dax was under her influence too.

  Jakob nodded. “If he’s already got the shard, we won’t be able to take it from him. But, with Jada’s power—”

  That was exactly what Ky had been thinking.

  “I could.” She smiled up at him, yawned and then collapsed into his arms.

  “Oh god. Is she okay?” Fleur rushed over.

  Her breathing came deep and even, but Ky looked to Fleur and Ninsy to see if they could help.

  Ninsy nodded. “She’ll be fine as long as Ky feeds her and takes care of her needs.”

  He’d do that and more.

  Jada’s eyelids fluttered, trying to open and Ky noticed her fangs had extended. The shower was not going to cut it this time. He needed to claim her, take her long and hard, and make her come at least half a dozen times.

  Just Getting Started

  Jada struggled to get back to consciousness. The bloodlust she’d left behind last night when Ky fed and cared for her came back with a force worse than before.

  Would he want to feed her again?

  She couldn’t yet pry her eyes open, but she could hear the voices of the people she’d controlled with her allure all around her.

  Controlled. The thought turned her insides into jam filling. Sickly sweet. Like her first taste of blood.

  So good, and so bad.

  Could all her brothers and sisters do that? Could Leon?

  If they could, why didn’t they?

  Or maybe they did. One more secret they’d kept from her.

  “We’d all better have a short break and take care of our… needs.”

  That was Ciara. She’d definitely felt Jada’s power, but hadn’t been directly controlled by it.

  Jada could only imagine what Jakob had whispered to her, or her to him.

  Jada slid one eye open a tiny slit and found Dax’s gaze fixed right on her.

  “You fuckers. What am I supposed to do?” Dax stared longingly at her but kept his distance and waved his hand in front of his pants.

  Shoot. That really wasn’t fair. She had no doubts at all that everyone else was about to go have noisy, very satisfying sex, and poor Dax had no one.

  She closed her eyes again and figured a hot shifter like him could probably pick up a girl no problem.

  “We’ve got about an hour before the golds show up. I suggest a nice cold shower.”

  “God damn it.” Dax stomped off toward the front door.

  “Ninsy, will your ward hold out for a little while longer? I still want to get that rhubarb, but there’s one or two things I need to do first.”

  “Those things you need to do better be me.” Steele’s voice was filled with a need he was trying his best to keep under control.

  “They are,” Fleur said.

  “Yes, you are all safe for now.” Thank goodness for Ninsy.

  But what in the world was she that she’d known that Jada had that kind of power when Jada didn’t know herself?

  “Go, play with your mates now. You’ll need the power you can get from the coupling in the battles to come.”

  Jada had always known there was power in sex, but was it true for other beings too? Had Ky gotten as much from her last night as she had from him?

  She yawned and finally pried both eyes open. Ky stared down at her. She was in his arms. He’d caught her when she’d passed out.

  That made all the warm fuzzies attack her heart. Silly.

  “Fleur, you don’t happen to have any haystacks in your yard, do you?”

  Fleur giggled. “No but give me a minute and I can grow you two a nice secluded field of wheat. I think you’ll like that even more.”

  “Hurry it up, little flower, because that mud bath is calling our names. An hour isn’t nearly long enough for what I want to do to you.”

  Fleur shivered, raised her hands and within a minute little sprouts made a path out the door. “Follow those and you’ll find your field.

  “Oh, and Ky. There’s hot springs on the far side of the property I think you’ll enjoy.” Fleur winked and grabbed Steele’s hand dragging him out of the room.

  Jada moved to get up, but Ky lifted her and carried her out the door, shifting in a flash to his dragon form, wrapping her gently in his great claws.

  “Are you all right, aroha? I was worried.”

  “I’m mostly fine. Hungry though.”

  “Good. I’ll feed you.”

  “I mean, hungry for—”

  “I will feed you in every way that you need.”

  He landed a moment later, setting her on the ground before shifting back to his human form. But, this time, he didn’t have on the clothes he’d been wearing before.

  He wasn’t wearing anything at all.

  Gods above and below, he was so damn good looking it made her lower belly clench just at the sight of him.

  His dark skin was in such contrast to her own. The tattoos and scars across his body so different from her unmarred pale skin. Except she wasn’t unmarred. She had a blue dragon mark on her neck and shoulder.

  “You’re staring, sweet thing.”

  The last time she’d seen him naked, she hadn’t taken the time to really get a good look at him. She’d been too desperate for what he offered. Sex and blood. “Yeah. And I’m gonna keep staring. Are all dragon warriors so yummy?”

  His eyes twinkled. “Nope. Only me.”

  Only him, for only her.

  That was too weird. She knew most non-humans mated for life, and she’d heard stories of fate intervening, of true mates. Those tales never involved a succubus. It wasn’t in a demon’s nature. Mates weren’t important. Family and the coven provided all the companionship and support any demon would need.

  This pull she felt, down to her black soul, couldn’t be ignored. She not only needed him, she wanted to be with him. It hurt to even think of not having him in her life.

  Ky saw something in her that she didn’t see herself.

  She never believed she’d ever have anyone in her life like that. She didn’t feel quite so dark and lonely inside when she was with him.

  Ky prowled around her, circling, looking her up and down. He came up behind her, licked the side of her neck and ran a hand into her hair. “What’s going on inside that beautiful brain of yours, Jada?”

  She wished she had a one-track mind at the moment. She’d pick the get-down-and-dirty-with-Ky train. Her head had tickets to ride to crazy town. “Too many things.”

  “Like what?”

  Like about a million trillion reasons why a hot alpha male like Ky would ever want to be with a chubby little succubus at all. And how soon he’d realize that despite the mating spell he seemed to be under.

  Probably as soon as this battle with the Black Dragon was over and he saw how she didn’t have a clue what she was doing. He’d send her packing right back to Leon and her coven. Back to her insipid life, eating savorless meals that did nothing more than sustain her life.

  “I was thinking about exactly how delicious you are.” That wasn’t a lie. His blood, his sex made her mouth water simply thinking about how utterly naked he was, pressed against her back, his cock already hard against her butt.

  “Hmm. I think there’s more going on than that, but, I’ll take it, since that’s what I was thinking about, and this spot right here.” His tongue ran across a spot behind her ear that made her knees go all wobbly.

  “And I’ve been waiting hours to taste this part of you too.” He nipped her earlobe and sucked it into his mouth, flicking the tip of his tongue over the skin.

  Holy crap. Who knew her earlobes had direct
zip-zing access between her legs? Apparently sexy dragon warriors, because Ky reached across her thighs and pushed the skirt of her dress up.

  The one piece of clothing Fleur hadn’t had any unworn spares to lend her was panties. Jada’s hot skin was bare to the world.

  “Holy fuck, doll. If I’d known you didn’t have anything on under this dress all morning, I might have told the rest of the group to figure out their own god-damned plan to battle the Black Dragon and spent my time and efforts on licking your sweet pussy until you screamed my name.”

  That’s what she was afraid of. This kind of sex was still so new to her and she didn’t want Ky to think she was a cold fish. What if she couldn’t come again from his mouth on her sex?

  “What if I want to lick you until you scream my name, dragon?” That should do it. She knew how to give head, that was easy.

  Letting go like she had last night, not so much. She didn’t even know if she could do it again. Probably not.

  He’d caught her in a moment of vulnerability, when she’d been desperate and needy. She was hungry now, but not like before.

  “I can hardly wait to see those red lips of yours wrapped around my cock. I’d love to fuck your mouth, let your sexy as hell fangs run across my shaft, teasing me with them and their touch of pain.”

  Yeah. She could do that. No problem. She’d get him off and slake the hunger with his energy.

  No need for him to try and make her come, give her another orgasm. Even if it did fulfill her in a whole other way that was so much more satisfying.

  It would be fine.

  Ky stroked his fingers through the wisp of her curls. “But, we’ve got less than an hour and you’re already hot and wet. Come over to the water’s edge and let me eat my fill of you while you come in my mouth. Then you can have your fill of my blood.”

  Ky wrapped his arms around her and unbuttoned the top half of the dress. Her breasts ached for him to touch, caress, and fondle them.

  Would he suck on them if she asked him to? He would, and she needed to concentrate on what turned him on, not just her. But the low husky growl that came from his throat as he pushed the dress down around her shoulders was so deliciously distracting.

  He deftly unhooked the plain tan bra and pushed it down her arms too so that her breasts were freed.
