Vegas Is Burning

by Trinity Blacio

  “You have much emotion in your eyes, and to see the trust there...” He cupped her cheek gently, rubbing his finger over her skin. “Your heart and body will always be protected by me and cherished, my Little Mite. Always, until the day we decided to enter the next world.” He stood and grabbed his bag again, then moved forward, leaving her stunned at his words. No one had ever said things like that to her.

  “Little Mite?” He glanced back with a questioning look.

  “Sorry, Master.” She rushed to his right side but stayed a step back, like he required.

  “You okay?”

  “Fine, Master. I just never had anyone speak words to me like you do and mean them.” She shrugged. “It’s new to me.”

  He snorted. “Well, get used to it, because I plan on spoiling you, but not here. Here I plan on beating you,” he growled and she shivered, needing what he would give her.

  “I am yours to do with as you please, Master,” she whispered.

  Raul nodded and started moving again into the main room.

  Bella stopped and stared all around her. This club was nothing like the one she’d been to in Ohio. Women and men were cuffed up against the walls, some waiting to be touched, others already being played with. Six spanking benches sat in one corner with five fucking machines next to them. Couches were placed around each area.

  It would seem, even after a major battle, that others needed to be here, too.

  “Easy, Bella, I’ll never leave your side,” Raul said and tugged her forward to a massively long bar where Tank and Mario stood together talking, while Charley sat on a cushion at Tank’s feet, sipping a drink.

  Raul took a cushion from the bartender and placed it by the stool he sat down on, then dropped the bag next to it with a thump. He didn’t have to say a word before she took her seat near his legs.

  Bella scooted a little bit closer to him, leaning into his leg and looking around the room. A drink appeared in front of her.

  “Drink, and you may speak with Charley quietly,” Raul said.

  “Thank you, Master.” Bella took the drink as she continued looking around.

  “Did you see that thing over there?” Charley whispered and nodded to her left.

  Bella took a sip as she looked in the direction Charley indicated, then choked at what she saw. She coughed and the sip she’d taken came out of her nose.

  “Pet? You okay?” Raul asked, handing her a tissue as he grabbed hold of her drink before she could spill it.

  “What is that?” she asked and shivered, seeing blood on the person strapped to the table.

  Lucid knelt next to them and took the tissue from her. “Blow,” he treated her like a baby, helping her. “This club is not for humans. Many of my people come here, and blood play is frequent. After the battle our men endured today, a lot of them will need the extremes you see here. Are you two going to be okay with this, or do I need to set these up in private rooms?”

  Catching her breath finally, Bella looked at Lucid. “You’d do that for us?”

  He smiled and placed a kiss on her lips, then on Charley’s. “You two are mine, just as Tank is. So if you are uncomfortable with it, I’d change it for you.”

  She leaned over and placed a kiss on his cheek, as did Charley. “Thank you, Master Lucid, but I think it won’t bother us; we were just not used to it.”

  “Good.” He stood as Raul handed her drink to her again.

  “This time try not to inhale it,” Raul said.

  Bella nodded and looked around again as she sipped it. When she noticed four men staring at her and Charley, she scooted back, not liking the way they watched them. She could feel Charley shaking next to her, and a small snarl escaped Bella’s mouth.

  “Charley,” she snapped.

  “What? The way they’re looking at us...” Charley shivered again but stopped as Tank yanked on her hair and stared down at her.

  “What’s wrong?” he ordered.

  “Charley,” Bella got out before Raul pulled on her hair and tilted her head back. “Don’t interfere with them; now, tell me what’s wrong.”

  “Shit, listen, we’ll just be quiet. We don’t want to start anything,” Bella said and stiffened when the four men came over and stood in front of them.

  “Jeb, I haven’t seen you in a while. Can I help you with something?” Raul asked.

  “I just got back. I’ll inform you later about what I found out, but I’d like to introduce you to Irma Tracker and his brothers. They are—”

  Everyone turned to her. Bella hadn’t realized she was growling until Raul wrapped his arm around her. “Easy, Momma Wolf. Trust me?” He cupped her cheek, demanding that she look at him.

  “Yes, I trust you, Master, but he hurt them, and isn’t he supposed to be sleeping or whatever they call it?” she snarled.

  Raul laughed and slapped her sore butt. “Bella!” he growled and pointed to the cushion she’d been sitting on.

  “Yes, Master,” she grumbled and took her seat again.

  “This is not the place to go into any of this, but I will find out who woke you up now,” Lucid snapped, stepping into Irma’s personal space. “I suggest you take yourselves out of the club and really think about what you’re doing, because when I come looking for you tomorrow, it won’t be nice.”

  Jeb laughed. “Really? Tell me, where is your second-in-command? I know where he is. He’s sitting in my home right now. He’s been working with me for the past ten years. I really don’t believe you have—”

  Jeb gurgled before Lucid threw him across the room. Lucid lowered his hand to his side. Blood dripped from his nails, which had to be at least two inches long, and his skin was now dark red.

  Her gaze traveled up him. Even his body had changed; he was broader in the shoulders, and when he turned to look down at her, Bella was shocked at the sight of his face. His forehead protruded, his fangs were several inches long and hung from his mouth, and his eyes were deep red. She smiled and winked at him.

  “Please, take care of the trash, Master,” she said.

  Lucid bowed his head to her and, his skin turned even darker red.

  * * *

  Raul stood back, running his hand through Bella’s hair as Lucid took control of the situation. He’d never been so proud of his woman as she winked at Lucid. Raul knew Lucid worried she’d be afraid of him when he turned into the monster vampires had been labeled as so long ago, but their woman wasn’t. No, she saw past the changes and knew Lucid would give his life for her and their family unit.

  “Raul, take our woman to the chamber. I’ll be right behind you after I make sure the trash is taken out,” Lucid said.

  He snorted, knowing that Lucid needed time to collect himself before touching their woman. He took her empty glass and placed it on the bar, then collected his bag. “Come, pet. It’s time to show you our room.”

  The crowd parted as Raul made his way toward the basement and the private rooms. People bowed, showing them the respect; some reached out, lightly touching him but not Bella, knowing he’d kill anyone who touched what was his. Frankie, Jose and Danny stood at the door to the basement. He nodded to them. Later, there would be time to introduce Bella to Frankie and the other women of the pack, but for now, he needed to finally claim his mate.

  People lined the hallway as he descended, moving toward their special room. Raul could have sworn the floors vibrated with energy from both the ground and his friends.

  He glanced over his shoulder at Bella. Her head was down, but Raul could scent her need and arousal, and as they drew closer to the room, he knew she was just as ready as he was. She needed to be claimed, to be ridden hard and to give up total control to him. He would not disappoint her.

  Mario waved a hand, and the door opened to their chamber. Candles lit up around the room, and the scent of Earth filled the hallway as he stepped inside. Bella gasped, and he smiled, looking down at her.

  “Go ahead. I know you want to see it, but when you’re done, I want you stripp
ed and kneeling there.” He pointed to the wall she would be strapped against it. They didn’t need a Saint Andrew’s cross when the bars already protruded from the ceiling and floor. Raul could easily walk around Bella to check on her and work the front of her body with whatever instrument of pain he chose. But he wouldn’t need to; Lucid would be there to clue him in.

  He set his bag down and turned to the crowd that had gathered. “You will remain silent or you will leave. Mario and Tank will kill anyone who even thinks of interrupting our scene. Charley, sit over there where you will be safe.” Raul pointed to a bench that stood out of the way so Tank wouldn’t worry about his mate.

  Lucid pushed through the crowd. He was now cleaned up, and he’d removed his shirt and shoes. The new mark on his chest shocked Raul and everyone around them.

  Bella walked up to stand in front of Lucid. She glanced at Raul, and he nodded, then she traced the hellhound on Lucid’s chest.

  “It would seem I proved myself to someone. I got this a few seconds ago,” Lucid told Raul.

  “What does it mean?” Bella asked. “Sorry, Master.”

  “You can ask, Bella, and right now, I’m not sure. I believe it’s another gift; who knows? I do have a feeling it pertains to all of us, though.”

  “Yes, we’ll have to wait and see what it means, but in the meantime...” Lucid turned her toward the spot Raul had pointed out and slapped her ass. “You have orders.”

  She looked behind Lucid at all the people watching them.

  Raul could see a little bit of fear in her eyes, and that would not do. He stepped in front of her. “You shouldn’t be worried about them; worry about me and what I’m going to do to this little body of mine. It is mine, isn’t it?” Raul asked as he grasped her nipples and pinched them, gaging how much she could take. He’d been right. His little woman could take pain.

  “Master,” she whimpered, finally going to her knees when he released her.

  “Strip, and I don’t want to have to ask again.” Raul knelt beside his bag and pulled out the nipple clamps, which he held out to Lucid. “Hook her up, would you, please?” Raul asked, then glanced at the ground. A circle in the Earth had opened around them, and steam rose from it, preventing anyone from interrupting them.

  Raul glanced at Lucid, who had Bella stretched out and ready for him. Lucid glanced around at the three of them and nodded.

  “It would seem no one will interfere now,” Lucid said.

  Raul pulled out the whip, cane and flogger he would use tonight, knowing some things would have to wait, since he was too close to exploding.

  Charley’s gasped behind him and Raul looked over his shoulder at her. Her breathing increased and she squirmed where she sat. He smiled; both women seemed to like pain with their loving.

  Next, Raul pulled out the new butt plug and bullet he’d purchased. He opened both packages and placed them nearby to grab when he was ready for them. But first, his mate needed to be warmed up.

  He stood and grabbed the new flogger. Everything in his bag was new; nothing that had touched another would ever touch his mate. He glanced over at Mario and nodded to him in thanks for replacing his toys.

  Raul turned all his attention on his woman and ran his fingers down her spine. “You are so beautiful. Are you ready, Little Mite?” he asked before placing kisses on her shoulder and neck, which were both exposed now that her hair was pinned up on her head. Raul licked and nipped at her skin.

  “Yes, Master,” she moaned.

  He stepped back and dragged the flogger down her shoulders and back, then down to her butt before letting it go across her fair skin. She arched her breasts, one going right into Lucid’s mouth, who prepared her for the clamps he held.

  His cock hard, Raul worked the flogger over her delicate, pale skin, which was turning a nice pink. He nodded to Lucid and they switched places so he could work her front. Lucid would put the butt plug into her while he prepared her for his whip and cane.

  He stepped up to her and grabbed a handful of her hair, then pulled her head back. “I’m proud of you, pet, but we’ve just begun,” he said before nipping her bottom lip and pulling on one of the clamps.

  Bella whimpered. “More, please, Master. I want to burn,” she said, and Raul knew she craved his dark loving as much as he needed to give it.

  “No, you need to burn, don’t you, pet?” he growled, stepping back. Her breasts were nice targets. Each strike on one of her round globes would make the clamps tug on her nipples. Her pussy lips were also no match for his flogging. She took strike after strike, moaning at each hit.

  It was time to heat things up. He stripped off his shirt, and she lifted her head. Bella’s gaze traveled over his body and she licked her lips.

  “Soon, you’ll have me, but not yet.” Raul stepped up to her and ran his fingers over her pussy lips. “You’re drenched and waiting for me, but for now, your ass needs to be filled. Lucid,” he said, thrusting two of his fingers into her pussy.

  “I need a taste of you.” He pulled his fingers out of her and licked them while she watched. “What a nice treat,” he said, moving to retrieve his cane. He watched as Lucid worked the gel and butt plug into her ass, then glanced over his shoulder at the crowd for a second. Twice as many were coming in, watching. They stood against the walls now, close but away from the opening in the ground. Submissives sat on the floor at their masters’ feet. A few of them nodded to him. Charley was now on the ground with a butt plug in her ass and a gag in her mouth. Raul’s gaze went to Tank’s, and he smiled, nodding. No one would be interrupting them anytime soon.

  “She’s ready,” Lucid said, stepping back next to Raul. “Her skin marks well. I can’t wait to see what the cane does to her.”

  “Well, then, let’s see.” Raul stepped up to Bella and ran his finger around the end of the plug. “So pretty. I really didn’t think you could take what I needed, but you’re doing great.” Raul lifted the cane and brought it down on her ass.

  Bella rose to her toes and groaned, and he ran his fingers over the mark. “Very nice.” He stepped back and worked the cane up and down her body, careful not to hit certain areas that were weak spots. A fine sweat broke out on his back and face while he worked his magic, never in the same spot. Raul could tell his Little Mite was slipping into subspace. It was time to take out the whip.

  Raul couldn’t last much longer; the room was getting hot. He handed the cane to Lucid and uncoiled the whip, letting it rip through the air. Bella jumped and whimpered.

  “It’s time, my love,” Raul said before striking her right shoulder.

  “Stunning,” Lucid said.

  Raul didn’t say a word as he marked her again. She would carry three of his marks. One on each shoulder blade and one on her ass. As soon as the last mark was in place, he threw the whip down and moved in front of her, where he released her feet.

  “I can’t wait. It’s going to be fast and hard, Bella.” Raul said, unzipping his leathers. His cock was hard and throbbing. The ground shook, but no one moved as they waited for him.

  “Wrap your legs around me, Little Mite,” he said, stepping in front of her as Lucid helped her lift her legs. Raul thrust into her and fire shot up all around them. “Mine. I’ve finally found my soul, my heart!” he said, thrusting in and out of her. The animal inside of him broke free, claiming what was his.

  When Raul’s dark love was sated, he unsnapped her hands.

  She wrapped her arms around him. “Master!” she cried, shaking along with the ground. Sparks seemed to fly around the room, or it could have been his sight as his balls drew up so close.

  “Come, Little Mite, come,” he ordered before sinking his fangs into that place between her neck and her shoulder, claiming what was his.

  In all his years, there had always been need, but now, that need was gone. He had his life in his arms. Bella was his life, and he would destroy anyone who tried to take her away.

  Cheers and whistles filled the room as Tank and Mario moved eve
ryone out, knowing he needed time with Bella, but Raul didn’t care. He released his hold on her neck, licking and placing a kiss on his mark, smiling.

  Bella was out cold. Lucid wrapped a blanket around her shoulders. The night wasn’t over, but their destiny was fulfilled. He glanced to where the last of his, Lucid and Thorn’s people stood. Each one of them felt his gaze, and they dropped to their knees, bowing to them.

  “It is done.” His voice was raw as he moved to the bench behind them, holding Bella in his arms.

  Tank nodded to him and carried Charlie away to claim what was his.

  “Go. We’ll be upstairs as soon as I get her to drink some water,” he told Lucid.

  Lucid nodded and moved to follow Tank. They would claim Charley now, and later tonight, Lucid would claim Bella and feed off Raul, closing his circle.

  Mario sat beside him, handing Raul a bottle of water. “Irma has disappeared, but I have Jeb locked up until we find out what the hell is going on with him. It also seems this Duce is the one that couldn’t enter the club.”

  Raul looked at him. “I get the feeling it’s more than our destiny that Duce is after.” He took a drink of water as Bella stirred in his arms.

  Her eyes fluttered open and she smiled up at him. “Wow,” she whispered and placed a kiss over his heart.

  Chapter Twenty-Six

  Bella took a drink of the water Raul gave her as he tucked the blanket around her. She was stiff, her back and ass burned where he had marked her, but she loved the idea of being marked by him. She just wished he’d given her a collar, like she’d always craved.

  The room had emptied out, and only guards stood at the door. The ring of fire had closed now their destiny had been fulfilled.

  Mario came back into the room and sat down to them, talking to Raul. She glanced over at Mario, still feeling a little guilty for what she’d done. Bella hated that her fears had put someone else in danger.
