Warrior's Craft Four Guys & A Witch

by Cheryl Dragon

  “Come on. The demons are out there,” DC said.

  “And we’re drinking. We’ve already used up a lot of energy today. I’m finally rested. We need to sleep and deal with it tomorrow night.” Phoebe sipped her wine.

  “She’s right. Let’s make this work, make it real. The bed in Phoebe’s room is old wrought iron, even the frame. I think DC’s is too. We can put them together in the master bedroom, and find a way to weld or lock them together.” Reed got down to eating.

  Andy nodded. “I’ll fix that. Drill holes and screw them together. Done.”

  Phoebe blushed and Jude leaned over. “You okay?”

  She nodded. “Very. And very happy.”

  “Us too.” He hugged her tight.

  * * *

  For twenty-four hours, DC had been walking on air. Or sunshine. Or something else as happy. Reed hadn’t retreated on his admission of affection. Instead, he showed it all the time.

  Andy had locked the beds together, and last night the group had tested his work. It was the perfect amount of space and very sturdy. Tonight, however, they’d put it to a more active test with spells and sex.

  DC lit the candles as Reed set out the crystals.

  “I don’t want anything to happen to you,” Reed said.

  “Same here.” DC kissed Reed hard. “Maybe that’s why you couldn’t handle your feelings. The work was so dangerous.”

  Reed nodded. “My luck would be to take a leap and lose.”

  “Not this time!” Phoebe entered and snapped off the lights. “No bad luck for anyone. We have all the good luck forever because we have each other. We’ll need it since we’re fighting evil. But you better take the time and enjoy all the good stuff or it might go away because we’re not appreciating it.”

  “Be careful this time. No using up your powers incinerating demons when we may need you in a crunch,” Reed said.

  DC kissed him. “Progress. We’re learning.”

  “I’ll say. Not trying to keep me out of the fight. Much better, but let’s try the spell and get our power as strong as possible first.” She slipped off her clothes and stretched out on the bed.

  The men started to disrobe, and DC set the lighter safely on the dresser. “In this case, the demons have only been going after women for their lethal attacks. So they might target you more than us.”

  DC and Reed reclined on one side of her. She snuggled close. “I’ve located the demons. We’ll get them all tonight.”

  “At the bar?” Andy flopped on the bed and Jude crawled on top of him.

  “That seems to be where they troll for women. I can lure them into the alley, and you guys attack.” Phoebe rolled over and kissed the other guys.

  “Sure that’s a good idea? Maybe we should go to their house and wait for them?” DC suggested.

  “We’ll debate later.” Reed pulled DC into a kiss.

  DC felt Reed’s nerves. Sex as a couple was amazing, but with the group, Reed was just a little unsure. “It’ll be great.”

  Reed nodded and they kissed, rubbing their bodies to each other until both men were hard. When DC looked up, he saw Andy fucking Jude’s ass as Jude eased into Phoebe.

  “I think we need to complete the fun. Want to be in the middle?” DC offered.

  “No, I want to fuck you this time.” Reed nudged DC to Phoebe’s lush backside. Being pressed between their hot bodies had DC groaning. Reed slid protection on DC, and while it seemed a little silly, it felt insanely intimate. DC lubed Phoebe’s ass as Reed worked DC’s. Phoebe tilted herself and the other guys so they’d all fit.

  “Ready?” DC whispered to her.

  “Are you?” She kissed him.

  Hell yes! DC pressed into her ass, and Reed filled him at the same time. It was a dual thrill, and DC held his hips in check to do his part slowly so he could enjoy it. When he was pressed to Phoebe’s sweet bottom, he held still and let Reed fill him all the way.

  “Hold still,” DC said to Phoebe. She nodded. DC eased back and then rocked back and forth. Jude imitated DC’s technique, and they held Phoebe secure as they fucked her. Reed’s arms held DC’s chest, and they kissed gently.

  When Phoebe spoke the spell, DC felt the jolt. She channeled their love and energy, and it flowed through them all like a low level electric shock. The tingling didn’t stop as DC took in the heat and poured his love for them into every thrust.

  “Hell, I can’t.” Andy grunted and fucked harder.

  The group shifted and leaned back toward Reed. DC wasn’t sure this was the best position but they had plenty of time to experiment. For the spell, it got everyone fully connected. He held Phoebe tighter.

  Leaning back on Reed, DC pulled Phoebe’s weight onto him and felt the pressure he’d longed for -- to be between her and Reed. Love, lust, and freedom. DC felt so tight and full he couldn’t stop. His hips worked and his ass squeezed Reed.

  “Damn, you’re good at this.” Reed lifted his hips.

  Moaning, Jude and Andy both came. After a moment, they carefully untangled from the group. Jude kissed Phoebe and licked all the way down her body. Andy joined in, sucking her breasts while Jude ate her pussy.

  “Oh. Please.” She trembled in climax.

  DC worked harder to give her more stimulation. When she rocked on him and gasped, he was already on the edge. But her body squeezed him hard, and his release took over. Reed slammed into him, enjoying it too. DC’s orgasm went on and on as Reed ground into his ass.

  Their shouts mingled until DC couldn’t tell if it was him or Reed. It felt like both and he loved it. Then Phoebe’s gasps were the only sound in the room. She sprawled in the middle and smiled at her guys. DC turned and saw Reed’s contentment. No stress and no resistance at all. Magic had happened, and it wasn’t just about the power of a spell. DC felt the change flow between them.

  Chapter Nine

  Going into battle was always tense, but this time Reed felt a peace he couldn’t explain. They waited in the alley. He hated that Phoebe was baiting the demons. However, her argument that they could be luring women to their lair and taking more innocent victims was valid. Enough girls were into vampires and werewolves, thanks to movies; why wouldn’t demons be next?

  “Hey, she’s fine.” DC nodded.

  Reed wanted to hold DC, to lose himself in that feeling of love, but he resisted. Assuming a warrior’s mindset, he readied for battle. “She’ll defend herself if she needs to.”

  “We all will. Phoebe sensed only four when she located them. We can do this.” Andy kept one eye on the door.

  They remained still in their ambush positions. It was quiet. When the door finally opened, Phoebe was first through.

  “You burned one of us. You’re a witch.” One demon grabbed her by the arm.

  “You need to stop killing people, or the hunters will run you out of this world.” Phoebe pulled away.

  The men attacked, each one hacking at a demon. One died quickly, and Andy moved to stab Jude’s nasty demon, who kept fighting. Phoebe moved to DC, and Reed shook his head. He could see she wanted to take out the demons, but she needed to save her strength. Maybe one day she’d be a super witch, but they were on a journey together. Their skills would improve with time.

  DC’s demon melted into a puddle of blood, and DC turned to help Reed finish off his demon. The demon fell, jumped up, and took off running.

  Phoebe waved and the demon burned up. The other demon between Andy and Jude began to go down. “Our children will avenge us.”

  A few more stabs, and the demons were all dead.

  “I need to start carrying a knife,” Phoebe said.

  DC exhaled. “Maybe, but you’re not a truly violent person. I think you’d do better to expand your powers than to stab someone.”

  “He’s right. Maybe a little warrior training for her protection?” Reed wanted to know Phoebe could fully protect herself if she was going to be part of their fighting force.

  Andy hugged her. “We’ll whip her into shape.” R
eed lifted an eyebrow. “Self-defense training, nothing kinky. Five people in a bed are wild enough.” Andy kissed her cheek.

  “I don’t like what that demon said about the kids.” DC walked back to the car.

  Reed frowned. “You don’t think they mean there are more of them back in Hell? Coming now?”

  Phoebe slipped into the car. “I didn’t see anything like them in the bar. No one else even looked like a demon. Maybe we should check the house again?”

  “Can’t be too careful.” Jude nodded. “Everyone hop in.”

  * * *

  They pulled up to the house, and Reed liked the neighborhood even less after dark. He shielded Phoebe as they walked inside.

  “I didn’t sense any more creatures here.” She shrugged.

  They spread out, finding nothing alive. Reed spotted something weird in the bathtub. “In here.”

  DC and Phoebe made it to him first. “What are those?” DC looked closer at the tub of orange webbing. It moved and Phoebe stepped back.

  “It looks like mothballs only bigger.” DC shook his head.

  “Their spawn? It’s the only thing that makes sense.” Reed saw it bubble a bit and wanted to stab it.

  “What do we do?” Andy asked.

  “If we stab them, it might free them.” Reed frowned.

  “Burn it.” DC shrugged. “Phoebe needs to cook them fast.”

  She nodded. “They could’ve left pods elsewhere. How do we know this is all of them?”

  Reed hugged her. “We don’t, but we’ll get rid of all we can. More demons will come. Maybe a different type, maybe more of these. No matter what, we can’t let these grow up to kill more people.”

  “Stand back.” Phoebe got in front of the men and backed them up to the door. Halfway in the small bathroom, she put her hands over the tub and focused her powers. With a flip of her wrists, the tub was ablaze. Things wiggled and squeaked inside like rats.

  Pulling her back, Reed didn’t want her to feel any guilt or regret. “Good job. Our secret weapon just saved half of Detroit.”

  She elbowed him in the chest then turned and hugged him. Reed knew she’d never be a killer. She’d defend herself and her men. She’d destroy demons with evil intent. But Phoebe would never enjoy fighting or hurting anyone, even if they deserved it. It was part of what the men loved about her.

  “Are we done? I want to go home.” Phoebe rubbed her head.

  “Come on. You need to rest.” Andy let her lean on him.

  Jude nodded to Reed. “I’ll do one last sweep for anything like that in the rest of the house.”

  “I’ll come too. DC, get her in the car and give her some water. Maybe next week you two can work on her magic? Help her expand?” Reed grabbed his axe.

  “You were always against using magic.” DC frowned.

  “I finally get the difference between good and bad magic. I also trust you two won’t abuse the power, and will truly come at it from a good place. The power would go to my head. I don’t want to cast any spells, but you’re free to practice on me any time.” Reed kissed DC hard and walked to the backyard with Jude.

  “You two are so hot,” Jude teased.

  Reed grinned as they searched out any demon spawn. “Keep me on my toes. Don’t let me get all goofy about it. No one is going to die because I’m suddenly into DC.”

  “It’s not sudden. You’re just acting on it now. Don’t worry. If I need to take the lead on a case or two, I will.” Jude patted Reed’s back.

  * * *

  A week later, Phoebe had learned enough self-defense to bruise her calf and fall on her ass countless times. The magic work with DC was going much better. He wanted to learn, and she enjoyed sharing what she knew. Her own powers seemed stimulated by it.

  Moving in fully made this house home, and they’d fallen into a comfortable routine. They shared chores and sex so naturally she knew this was where she belonged. As she stared into the freezer trying to figure out something for her turn at making dinner, she heard footsteps.

  “Found them!” DC dropped his laptop on the table.

  “Who?” she asked.

  “The demons from last week. They were in a mating phase. That’s why I didn’t find them faster. When they mate, they get this orange tinge to their blood. Normally it’s yellow, and their skin is more yellow too. That’s why they try to pass as humans and walk around. Yellowish skin might look sick, and people would avoid them, but it’s not like blue.” DC grinned.

  “So what are they?” Jude walked in from the dining room.

  “Thessel demons. They need a lot of energy to reproduce. That’s why they were draining women. The life force is stronger. Anyway, with the number of demons we killed, and the eggs, my guess is they were trying to really make a move on Detroit. Big numbers.”

  “It’s great we stopped them. And now we know what to look for since they could appear very different.” Phoebe hugged him.

  Reed walked in with Andy, fresh from another case more human than paranormal.

  “What did we miss?” Andy asked.

  “DC identified the demons from last week.” Jude nodded.

  Reed hugged DC. “You’re too smart.”

  “Be careful. It’ll go to his head. If he’s going to become a wizard, he needs to stay humble.” Phoebe winked. “What do we want for dinner? Stir fry?”

  “That sounds healthy.” Andy opened the cookie jar and grabbed three.

  “Healthier food won’t kill you.” Phoebe rolled her eyes.

  “I think we need a before dinner snack anyway.” Jude slid in behind Phoebe and kissed her neck.

  She smiled and pressed back to him. The sex was the best perk in the world. “You know my aunt is glad I ended up in an alternative lifestyle. This is much better now that we’re open.”

  “All the witches in your coven are so jealous,” Andy teased.

  She smacked his arm. “Now get your clothes off and meet me in the dining room.”

  Stripping as she went, she climbed up on the mammoth wooden table. It had plenty of room and was sturdier than the kitchen table, which had proven a bit wobbly over the past week.

  “You’re really into getting out of making dinner.” Reed kissed her as he slid onto the table. DC joined them and Phoebe felt the sparks. Their naked bodies were gorgeous muscled masterpieces, but seeing them together was a different level of happiness.

  “I’ll still cook,” she said.

  Jude and Andy’s hands teased her pussy, and Phoebe’s arousal was already in high gear.

  “Wet and eager. You need a male harem.” Andy kissed a bruise on her calf.

  “I have everything I need right here.” She grabbed for a condom as Jude set out the protection and lube on the table.

  She slid a condom on Andy and pulled him down to the table. Hard and ready, he reached out, stroked her breasts, and watched her slide onto his cock. Phoebe leaned forward, and Jude moved in to take her ass.

  Phoebe inhaled Andy’s scent as Jude lubed and stretched her. The men pressed together inside of her, and she wiggled on them to drive them crazy. Looking over her shoulder, Phoebe nodded to Reed to come closer.

  Sucking his cock into her mouth, she felt a surge of love and need. He was relaxed and giving. Cupping his balls, she coaxed him to fuck her mouth a little. Reed leaned in and let her swallow what she could, but he’d never hurt her.

  When Phoebe felt Reed tense for a second, she worried he wasn’t confident in the group sex. When she saw DC moving in behind Reed, she knew his reactions were natural. Phoebe reached around and spread Reed’s ass for DC. The heat from DC’s body glowed, and she heard Reed’s breathing accelerate.

  “Take it, Reed.” Jude’s thrusts picked up their pace in Phoebe’s ass.

  Reed hadn’t let them watch him being fucked yet. It was personal, and Phoebe knew it could make anyone feel vulnerable. But his hard cock kept sliding over her tongue, and his hips were strong as they thrust back toward DC. Reed had owned his love, and it empow
ered him.

  “Good?” DC asked.

  “Fuck yes. Don’t stop.” Reed ground back onto DC. Phoebe used her hand on Reed’s cock as she watched the men fuck. Her body was in a state of perfect pleasure as Jude and Andy fucked her slowly. They could make it last, and then get her off in seconds. The more they did as a group, the better it became.

  “I can’t.” Reed groaned.

  “Do it,” DC said.

  Phoebe knew Reed liked to hold back. He was never one of the first to come if he could help it. The leader let his troops go first, but she wanted to hear him. Sucking his balls, she hummed softly.

  “Shit, Phoebe.” Shaking, Reed orgasmed first. Rubbing the cream into her skin, she kissed his cock and sucked the tip until he thrust into her mouth one last time.

  “Kiss me,” she said.

  Reed looked down at her and back at DC. The men kissed, and DC pulled Reed back until he was on all fours, almost matching Phoebe’s position. They kissed while Phoebe rocked hard on the cocks inside her. Andy could’ve kissed her, but he was far more into her breasts, and she loved that feeling. He was playful and so gentle she had to ask him for more.

  “You like getting fucked?” she asked Reed.

  His cheeks turned red, but he nodded before kissing her so deeply she couldn’t say anything more. Letting their tongues curl and play, she squeezed the cocks deep inside her and felt Jude’s hips snap to her rear. His hands slid around, rubbing her clit furiously.

  The pulsing pleasure hit. She moaned. Andy fucked her faster. She heard his shouts as she gave in to her own release. The waves of ecstasy hit, and she dug her nails into Andy’s shoulders to keep from screeching. Her muscles tightened on both cocks, and it had to be a dual climax as she lurched forward, pressing her face to Reed’s neck.

  “So far so good,” DC said.

  “Your turn.” Phoebe shifted her hips and scooted forward, off the hot men. She turned onto her side and watched as DC fucked Reed.

  There was no shame on Reed’s face when he pulled her in so he could lick her cunt. She let him play as DC drove Reed to an intense orgasm, muffled in her pussy. DC’s hips never stopped as he drove to his own climax. DC leaned over Reed’s back to see him licking Phoebe as DC came.
