I licked my lips as I stared at them, making it clear to them they were my next course. I finished when Apollo bit me, and then he flipped me so I was on my knees, my shoulders on the bed. He slammed into me and screwed me silly. I gave as good as I got, egging him on, swallowing my annoyance when I got images he wanted to slap my ass but knew I wouldn’t allow that.
And slap my breasts, but I wouldn’t allow that either.
And wrap his hands around my neck. Basically anything submissive he could show off to his buddy and the vamps below him.
When I couldn’t take anymore of that, I rolled us so I was sitting on him. He fisted my hair and yanked me back so I was lying over his chest. I turned my head and fed from him, deeply so I wasn’t taking the edge off but bringing him closer to finishing. He ripped off my bra, and I whispered everything dirty I wanted done to me.
Granted, I didn’t want him to be the one doing it anymore, but he didn’t seem to notice. Instead, he bit my nipples when I egged him into it and kept his hips moving hard and fast as I drove him up and up.
I sat up and turned around, pushing on his shoulders to keep him down, smirking at him as I rode him and drove him nuts. I tightened when he wanted, dug in my nails, and everything else he wanted, craved. I fed and fed some more until he fisted my hair and pulled me up, arching my back and biting my nipples as he thrust into me again and again.
When he finally couldn’t hold out anymore, I made him let go of my hair and sank my wolf teeth into his neck, giving him the Alpha bite, knowing how good it felt. I’d gotten caught up on that and lots of details on how good it felt for any lover I was with. And as he loved experiencing new things, I knew he would enjoy it.
Did he ever. He came so hard and for so long, having more orgasms as I worked my hips and paid attention to the bite. He collapsed to the bed, shaking and twitching it had been so good.
“You win,” he gasped, moving his hands to his face and rubbing it. “You so fucking win.” He let out a huge laugh in between panting. “Gods above and below, you win. That was the best sex I’ve ever had with a shifter. Hell, the best sex with any blonde. There are at least a dozen categories I know you just won.”
“Glad you enjoyed it,” I chuckled, brushing my lips over his.
He grabbed me when I went to move off of him, frowning at me. Then he rolled me and grabbed my chin. “I won too, right?” His eyes flashed shock when I didn’t answer. I couldn’t lie to him, and he would not want my answer in front of his people when I was clearly the entertainment. “I’m at least the best sex you’ve ever had with a councilman, right?”
I snarled at him and rolled us again. “The only thing Igor won was the best time I ever shot my guns, and that was when I killed him.” I waited until he nodded, knowing he’d gone over the line. “That wasn’t even the best sex we’ve had, Apollo, so no, sorry, I enjoyed that first time much, much more.”
He shook his head. “That’s not fair. Goran and Carter were part of that.”
I moved off of him, shaking my head. “You don’t want my answer. Glad you had fun, but I have to shift.” I kicked off the shoes and cleaned up with what was waiting for me, ready to get the hell out of there.
He grabbed my arm, spinning me around to face him. “I do want your answer. I want to know what the hell is going on.”
“No, I don’t think you do, Councilman,” Carter warned. “And she won’t want to answer because it could risk your protection or your friendship if you’re offended.” I almost got mad at him for getting involved, but he actually helped by saying that.
I nodded. “I never had sex with you for your protection or friendship. I did it because you were hot and wanted to play. We could have handled everything with Goran without sex. We wanted each other.”
“We still do.” He flinched at whatever he got off of me. “Seraphine, do you not still want me?”
I swallowed loudly. “I might be mistress of a coven, but no, I don’t like to sleep with men who treat me like their mistress.” I hurried on when he opened his mouth to argue. “I could have been anyone in that bed, Apollo. You wanted to slap my tits because the others here would get to see you do that with me. The same with other stuff. I don’t have sex to feel cheap. Life does that to me enough.”
I yanked my hand away from his. I headed towards the glass doors that would take me outside. He tried to stop me again, but I pulled away.
“I am not shifting in this ballroom and acting like the animal most of the vampires here think I am. I am Alpha. I have been doing what they cannot the past two days. I need to let my wolf out.”
“Of course,” he murmured, giving me a worried look. “We will talk after. There are still more games to play this visit.”
I swallowed loudly, unable to look at him and facing the doors. “I forfeit. I’ll send the cases. I don’t want to play anymore.” I pushed open the door and hurried across the terrace, not even bothering to take off what I was wearing since I knew I wouldn’t ever wear it again. I shifted the second my feet touched grass.
Seconds later, a tiger rubbed against me and then a dire wolf. Their teams shifted too, moving around me to protect me since I was Alpha. We went for a hard run, yipping and howling, Eugene and I tackling Axel a few times. Their animals made me feel just as small as I did when we were human, a dire wolf and a fucking white tiger huge compared to my wolf.
I decided to be a bit mean when we reached the terrace since Apollo had made me feel like I had when I’d been with Igor and then brought him up. I tackled Axel and shifted back, him doing the same so I was straddling him. Leaning over, I kissed him, his hands moving all over my body. A wet nose bumped my arm, and I gave a low growl, clearly saying I wasn’t happy Eugene was still in animal form.
He shifted back and moved behind me, probably understanding what was going on. Sure enough, I felt his huge dick move between my legs as I kissed Axel. He was getting my wetness and scent on him, not trying to have sex with me since none of us wanted our first time in front of all the vampires that were still there.
“Let me mark you, Sera,” he begged as he kissed my back. He growled when I nodded, pulling me up and Axel coming with us.
I ground my hips against Axel, marking him too as well as giving us both what we needed. They kissed every inch of me they could reach as the three of us moved together. Their hands touched me, teasing and pleasing me as I did them. I kissed and fed them both energy I’d gotten from Apollo, reveling in the moans of pleasure. I finished first, and then they both did on me, marking me so I carried their scent as they carried mine now.
“Do you understand now?” I asked Apollo, meeting his gaze.
“No, not fully,” he admitted, pulling on the sleeve of his shirt now that he had redressed. “I understand I unintentionally made you feel cheap or treated you like my mistress, but I did not mean it like that.”
“I’m glad because that would have meant I was wrong about you, and I liked the man I thought you were.”
“We came on her because we want her to smell like us,” Eugene added as he teased my breasts. “We want to smell like Sera because we want her. It wasn’t about doing something submissive to her or like how men come on a woman’s face in porn. It was us being together, wanting that moment to share. You dressed her up like your prize, how you wanted her, with your instructions, and then paraded her around as entertainment.”
“What we did entertained a lot here, but we weren’t the entertainment,” Axel added. “She is more than entertainment or a conquest. You screwed her to show your conquest. We treasured her and begged for her scent, not even asking to be inside of her, because she is Alpha, she is princess to the fae, but she is queen to many of us. You know that. You felt that when she bit you.”
Eugene stood, helping me to stand too. I went over to Brian, nodding he could weigh in too.
He did by smacking my ass for all of them to see, smirking at me. “I don’t do that because she’s mine or it’s something I can do she doesn’t all
ow others to do. I do that because I know she’s a second from smacking me back and I love that about her. We are equals in every way. She lets me do that because she knows I don’t take it all seriously or like I can smack that ass because it’s mine.”
I smiled at him before glancing at Apollo. “Plus, every time he does, he thinks once again that he’s never, ever seen an ass as perfect as mine and loves how firm it is. That’s why I let him smack it. If he ever did it in a non-playful way, I’d beat his ass and he knows it.”
“All of them were upset at how I treated you, weren’t they?”
“Yes,” several people said, a few that shocked Apollo.
“I may not ever fully understand, but I am sorry I upset you,” he muttered, moving closer. “I didn’t mean to insult you or any of it.”
I gave a dramatic sigh. “Fine, I’ll just be boss. You seem to be completely focused on me and our enjoying each other only when I do. Otherwise you apparently get these ideas of conquests and showing off what’s not yours.” I leaned in and licked my bite, making my point in a fun, fun way.
“Yes, you be boss then,” he agreed, giving me a gentle kiss. “Sorry, Seraphine.”
“I know, but understand what I do next is because of what you started.” I didn’t say anymore, instead going back to Brian and slowly dropping to my knees for all of them to see. Just to be a brat, I switched to Japanese. “I offer because I love you and want them to not disrespect you, as I know you would never disrespect me.”
Brian let out a slow breath and closed his eyes, fisting his hands before opening his eyes again. “She gets credit or whatever for offering, right? The statement I don’t understand was made?”
“Yes,” several told him, but Eugene kept talking. “But how you keep denying her is seriously crazy.”
I leaned in and nuzzled my face against Brian’s groin. “He does it because he loves me and knows I’m really offering but it would embarrass me to do it in public around people we don’t know or don’t trust.”
“I shouldn’t have told you I love hearing you speak Japanese if you’re going to tease me with it,” he growled, bending over and plucking me off the ground. I yelped as he tossed me over his shoulder. “And I deny her because I know she’s really offering but wouldn’t want to do it like this. She means more to me than a fucking blow job. I love her.”
“I love you too.” I knew he understood that at least. I met the heated gaze of Jonik and felt my face flush. Right, fairies could speak globally. They knew what I’d said.
“Princess, my queen heard you did not have proper accommodations for your visit to New York to help so many,” he said, moving closer. “She has made arrangements befitting you and your sister, along with your parties.”
“She’s staying here with us,” Apollo argued.
“Oh, I apologize, Councilman,” he replied, dipping his head and not looking apologetic at all. “I didn’t realize you gave an actual invitation to Princess Seraphine and were not surprising her and just letting her party use guest rooms when she passed out. My queen prepared her accommodations, and the vampires working on helping handle the mess this coven made can bring her any information she’ll handle for you.”
Damn. I mean dayumn. He was pretty badass for saying that without flinching. And I thought I was good at getting in a dig without really saying it.
“Okay, so where are we going?” I smacked Brian’s ass a few times. “Hey, put me down. I’m all up on display, and I’m covered with stuff. We can go set up a home base for all this crazy now. Do I get more food then?”
“Yes, Princess,” Jonik said firmly. “We will make sure we have all of your belongings as well and escort you to the New York Palace. Queen Laila reserved one of the larger suites for your party and many extra rooms for all of us.”
“Put her down before I bury my face in what looks so good,” Axel added.
I shivered. “That would be new. I’ve never done that while over someone’s shoulder.” I had only a second to think about that before Brian set me on my feet. I’d been upside down a bit too long and wobbled some. “Okay, so can we get copies of what the vampires have been working on? Oh, Detective Pratt said he was getting us Jane and John Doe information so we can have them look through pictures to pick out any they knew.”
“We will have them review the books before sentencing, but we would prefer not a huge thing of vampires attacking people,” Apollo replied.
“And my people will make copies of everything they have so far sent to your hotel,” Dubois added, staring at me in a way I didn’t like.
I focused on Apollo. “Let’s see what we find. There are ways to say people were punished or something to not start a shit storm. They would already assume they were vamp kills if in the morgue with bites. For now, we just need all the information and we’ll handle it.”
I was thrilled when they agreed. Even more so when I went upstairs to dress and grab our shit. I wasn’t the only one who hadn’t been happy we were staying at the coven where councilmen and their people were along with so much shit from the coven. It was better to be somewhere more neutral.
And if that meant the New York Palace, I would just suffer through that. Somehow.

A little while later, I was having one of the best burgers I’d ever eaten along with thick cut fries on our private terrace of our three story suite high above New York’s skyline. I didn’t even care about the cold night air since we also had a gas fire pit and that was enough with the thick, casual sweater dress I’d put on that I knew Brian liked.
“I’m getting some very peeved messages that I get a vacation with you at the New York Palace’s finest suite,” he drawled. “They do realize we’re here for work, right? That’s not a vacation.”
“We make it one,” I teased, smiling when he did. I inhaled the rest of my burger and fries and helped him a bit before cleaning up and coming back by him. He looked so damn handsome leaning on the railing and staring out at the view, the light of the full moon playing over his hair and making his eyes shine more than normal. He turned, giving me that soft grin of his and moving his arm so I could snuggle against him.
I had other ideas though. Pulling off the dress so I was completely naked, I went down on my knees.
“Sera, god, shit, you have no idea what this does to me.”
“Yeah, I do,” I promised, reaching for his fly. “I don’t care who sees us. This isn’t a statement or paranormal status stuff. I want to.”
“I love you,” he whispered as he ran his fingers through my hair.
“I love you too.” I freed him from his pants and took him in my mouth as I stared up at him… But I didn’t move.
“Oh Jesus, Sera,” he hissed, getting what I was telling him and putting his hands on my head. He tangled his fingers in my hair and moved me as he wanted, his desire and pleasure making me wet. He loved I would let him do this. It wasn’t about control or dominating me. No, it was that I would let him. I trusted him. I wanted him. I wanted to please him in every way.
Honestly, what I was getting off of him almost made me tear up. He loved me so, so much. He saw perfection when he looked at me. Perfection who wanted nothing but to make him happy and spoil him.
“Gonna,” he warned a few minutes later. I swallowed around him, and he moaned loudly, moving faster until he finished. I took everything he gave me and hummed at the taste. He leaned one hand on the railing like he needed it and the other hand played with my hair lovingly. I stood, tucking him back into his pants and kissing his cheek.
“Hey, Sands,” I greeted his friend as I bent over and picked up my dress.
Brian growled and dragged me back over to him, mashing his mouth to mine and kissing me silly. “You knew he was here.”
“Yeah, you got jealous when I was in Memphis around him.” I shrugged. “I didn’t scent him until I was on my knees. I don’t care who’s around, Bri. We’re not doing it in the middle of the office.”
“And it’s
the full moon,” he chuckled, kissing along my neck.
“And it’s the full moon,” I agreed, gasping when his hand moved between my legs. “Are you getting territorial for Sands?”
“Don’t stop on my account,” Sands muttered, his voice deeper than normal. “And I’m not the only one watching.”
“Yeah, but you’re the one he doesn’t want touching me,” I clarified. “He’ll enjoy watching any of the others do everything to me.” I moaned as Brian pushed two fingers in me, turning so his back was against the railing and I was facing the party room of the suite. I leaned against his chest and let him surround me. “Do I get to mark you again if I can make Sands admit he’s jealous you get me when he gets the bigger New York office?”
“Brat,” he chuckled, kissing my neck as he teased my breast and moved his fingers faster. “I didn’t even have to think about it, Sera. I don’t want New York. I want everything I have in Chicago, including you.”
I angled my neck and kissed him, giving him energy. It wound us both up more, and not long after, I was desperately trying not to let everyone in New York City know I had a massive climax.
He pressed his lips against my ear when I sagged against him. “Let’s go inside so you can be loud. I want to see Jonik fuck you again, and from the looks he’s giving you, he wants to again too.”
I didn’t have any arguments against that. We went inside, and I pushed Jonik onto the couch, riding him hard and both of us having too much fun for the work that was going on around us. Then we handled work and ate a lot of awesome food, people getting in on the fun and ordering a bunch to share from their favorite places.
Then I played with Axel.
Then more work.
Then I had a shower and fun with Eugene.
Then more work.
Then I had mind blowing sex with Carter, Emilio, Orson, and Sander, soaking up the attention and praise as they promised they were mad at Apollo for what he’d done and they appreciated me.
And then I needed a nap. After all of that, I needed a long damn nap, but I fell asleep with a huge ass smile on my face. Damn, it really, really was fun to just give in to the full moon and desire sometimes.
