Grave Hauntings: Where Sexy and Sinful Meets Dark and Chilling

by Parkerson, Charity

  She flipped the safeties back on her guns then slipped her empty hands out of her pockets. “Yes, you can trust me, but why the change of heart? For a minute there it looked like you were going shape shift and tear me apart. Or throw me down and fuck me into submission.”

  He laughed and even his laugh sounded tired. “I had no intentions of attacking you, but I wanted to see if you still had your edge.”

  She arched an eyebrow. “Well, do I?”

  “Yep, your edge is still as sharp as ever.”

  “You’re just going to ignore the part about fucking me.”

  “Serena, don’t think the thought of fucking you hasn’t crossed my mind since the first time I saw you, but I wouldn’t force myself on you. Well…not unless you told me that’s what you wanted. Besides, I don’t think Mykael would approve and I don’t need the hassle.”

  “What about Pepper? I doubt she would approve either.”

  He exhaled sharply, but it sounded like a sigh. “Pepper and I are history. I broke it off. She deserves better. Now keep your nose out of my business. Look, I’ll probably sleep all morning myself. The bedroom door locks. I’m not saying that would keep me out, but you’d hear the noise if I broke in. Anyway, goodnight…or rather good morning.”

  “Thank you. I’ll see you when the sun sets.”

  “I’m looking forward to it.” He pointed to an open door to his left. “The bedroom is that way, the sheets are clean. Towels are in the linen closet in the bathroom. Oh and there’s a bottle of Blood Wine in the mini frig in the bedroom. I confiscated an entire case on a bounty hunt last year. I keep it for my vampire informants, they love the stuff. It’s fifty percent human blood, supposedly from willing human donors, thirty percent grain alcohol and twenty percent fermented grapes. I think the crap smells like sweaty gym socks, but I’ve been told Blood Wine will take the edge off your hunger. Help yourself.”

  “Brick Mason, you are an interesting man.”

  “Yeah, so I’ve been told.”

  She walked toward the bedroom, the weight of his gaze heavy on her back. She paused just inside the door and turned back to see him stretching out on the couch. She stepped into the bedroom and closed the door.

  Chapter Six

  “Brick, are you okay?” Serena asked from the bedroom’s doorway.

  Sunrise was still an hour away and just as she’d started to drift off, she’d heard Brick cry out. Now that she was no longer on guard against his possible aggression, the sound of his strong heartbeat was impossibly loud in her ears. Each beat of his heart sent waves of need racing through her veins. The Blood Wine had indeed taken the edge off her hunger, but she was hardly sated by the mixture of blood and alcohol.

  If Brick were to open his eyes now, he’d see her standing there completely nude, her nipples pointed nubs of desire. She hated to sleep with any clothes and apparently Brick had the same aversion. It was dark in the room, but with her preternatural eyesight she could see clearly. He’d pulled off his sweatpants and now he lay on the couch completely nude. His tumescent cock was on full display and the sight of his manhood triggered a pulsing urgency between her legs.

  Brick groaned in his sleep. “Pepper, baby…I miss you.”

  Serena knew about Brick and the shapeshifter Pepper. Amelia Winters was her full name, but she earned the nickname Pepper because of her fiery disposition. She was a petite blonde with flashing green eyes, but the were-snow-leopard was a real hellcat when she got riled. Serena didn’t know all the details of what had happened between Pepper and Brick, but there was little doubt he still carried a torch for her.

  Serena promised Brick she wouldn’t feed on him, but her nature was singing a wanton song in her mind. What she failed to tell the trusting were-tiger was that she hadn’t fed on human or non-human blood in over a year. Mykael said she needed to wean herself off human blood, so to please him, now she only fed off animal blood, mostly beef blood. Still, the hunger to sink her fangs in the flesh of a living, breathing man or woman lay dormant inside her, it would never entirely die. She would always be a predator, a vampire and vampires needed to feed on living beings.

  She glided into the room and stopped by the couch. A part of her knew what she was about to do was wrong, but her hunger was strong. Brick trusted her and he’d given her sanctuary. How could she betray him? Her conscience died when she did long ago and any shred she had left, she pushed back to the far recesses of her mind.

  “Pepper, I want you so bad,” he said in a voice husky with sleep.

  Brick wrapped his large hand around his cock and began to slowly stroke his meaty shaft. Serena’s mouth opened and closed as a pearly drop of pre-cum formed on the head of the cock she so dearly wanted to wrap her lips around.

  The relationship she had with Mykael was complicated by her duties as a Final Death Giver and his role as the Head of the Council. They hadn’t been together for months now and they’d finally come to a mutual agreement to have an open relationship. She’d heard Mykael had wasted little time taking a succubus to his bed, but she’d held off on taking another lover. She looked longingly at the size of Brick’s cock and knew he’d fill her up and hurt her just as Mykael had. She needed to be hurt and to feel pain before she could experience pleasure.

  Normally a powerful shifter like Brick wouldn’t succumb to her hypnotic vampire glamour, but in his current state, Serena was confident she could sway his mind. Was what she planned to do so wrong? Maybe she was taking advantage of him, but she was hungry and she had needs that had been denied too long. Once she engaged his subconscious, she could keep him in his dream state and manipulate his mind. All she had to do was touch his flesh without him waking up and killing her. She knew exactly how to accomplish her goal.

  She flowed to her knees and knelt by his side. “It’s me Brick, it’s Pepper.”

  “Pepper…?”

  Serena whispered in his ear, weaving her hypnotic vampire glamour around him to make him pliant and ready for her touch. “Yes baby, I’m here. Mmm, has my big, horny man been thinking about me?”

  “I’ve missed you so much.”

  “I know you have, but I’m here now. What do you want me to do?”

  He groaned. “I…I need you to suck my cock. Suck my cock Pepper.”

  “Ok baby, move your hand.”

  Brick’s hand dropped away from his hunk of flesh. Now there was nothing separating Serena from what she desired. She tried to wrap her hand around his girth, but her fingers didn’t touch. Slowly she began to stroke his length as she listened to the intoxicating beat of his heart and inhaled his scent. Her fangs threatened to distend, but she willed them back…not yet.

  “Are you sure you want me to suck your cock?” She asked demurely. Just like she imagined the real Pepper would.

  Serena’s glamour was strong now that she held him in her grasp. Her power over of his mind would become psychic chains woven with silver once she took him in her mouth.

  “Yes,” he groaned. “Do it now Pepper, or I’ll spank you with the tawse.”

  She chuckled. “Yes Sir.”

  Brick’s dick was throbbing continuously now and a steady flow of pre-cum oozed from the slit in his bulbous cock-head. She used two hands to stroke him hard as his nectar dribbled down his shaft. She stuck out her tongue and lapped up the sticky sweet drizzle. Each time her tongue touched his skin, Brick’s cock jerked in her hands. She controlled him now. The taste of him laced her blood with fire.

  “Stop playing Pepper, suck…” He didn’t finish the sentence because Serena engulfed his cock in the wet heat of her mouth.

  His eyes were squeezed shut. “Oh fuck Pepper,” he said. “That’s so damn good.”

  Serena laved the underside of his cock with her nimble tongue. She had no gag reflex and she swallowed him whole. His entire body vibrated with lust when she scraped the soft skin of his perineum with the nail of her middle finger.

  “Arrrg,” he groaned and clutched her head with both hands.

&n
bsp; His hips pumped and he slowly fucked her face. Serena clutched his bloated balls and squeezed gently to coax his lava to spew forth. She slipped her other hand between her legs to feel her dripping cunt. She pressed two fingers into the deep wetness and the walls of her pussy wrapped around the digits.

  The hunger, the thirst that ruled her, rolled beneath her skin, so hard her flesh ached and burned. She could tell Brick was on the edge, because his movements were jerky as he frantically fucked her mouth. Each time his cock hit the back of her throat, her clit pulsed like a sore tooth.

  He lifted her head off his cock and she moaned as his cock slipped from her mouth. “Pepper, say the magic words. I need you tell me you want me to come.”

  “No baby, not yet.”

  He pushed her back down on his cock and her mouth happily welcomed him. Her teeth intentionally scraped his flesh and drew warm blood. Her hunger was consuming her now and she drank greedily as the blood flowed. She circled her lips around his crown and sucked his creamy cocktail of blood mixed with pre-cum down her throat. She rubbed her clit, causing ripples of pleasure to wash over her.

  “Pepper…oh, Pepper.”

  Her pussy reluctantly released her fingers with an audible slurping sound. She grabbed his hands and pulled back as his cock popped out of her mouth. “Hold on baby, I want you to come inside me.”

  She scrambled up on the couch and straddled his hips. His cock stood straight up and looked huge from this angle. A wet beat pulsed in her pussy and her fangs sprouted. Her pupils dilated and the walls of her cunt contracted. She felt a warm ache travel straight to her lower belly. Her clit pressed through the hood and throbbed with the beat of his heart.

  He instinctively grabbed her hips and poised her over his cock. Dream state or not, he still topped from the bottom. He slid his hard shaft through her wet lips and she moaned as the swollen head of his cock bumped repeatedly against her clit. Her hips rolled and rotated as she tried in vain to suck his length deep inside her. He squeezed her ass and forced her to be still.

  “Pepper, put it in,” he ordered.”

  She almost sobbed with relief. “Yes Sir, your wish is my command.”

  Serena touched his cock and she was astonished at how hot he felt. She placed the swollen head against her pussy and slowly moved it up and down her wet slit. She wished his eyes were open, so he could see her wet and swollen pink lips. With a sigh, she sank down on his shaft and her opening parted. He groaned and squeezed her ass hard. She gasped when he pulled her down and pushed up with his hips to force his way into her hole. Pain and pleasure rippled through her as he buried half his cock inside her.

  “Tight, Pepper you’re so damn tight,” he moaned.

  He took control and his strong arms began lifting her up and down. Her walls clenched and quaked as he fed her more of his raging cock. The sweet agony of pleasure and pain threw her senses into overdrive. She could smell his blood flowing through his veins and every beat of his heart caused her hunger to swell.

  She leaned forward and pinched his nipples between her thumbs and forefingers. The pain spurred him and he slammed her all the way down on his unrelenting shaft. Serena’s eyes widened as delirium rocked her body. Her pussy fluttered and went into rapid spasms as he filled her to the bursting point.

  “Oh, oh…that hurts so fucking good,” she whimpered.

  He slowed his pace and commanded her, “Rub your clit, Pepper. Now.”

  She touched the swollen nubbin and a fresh tide of pleasure and hunger crashed into her core. He made her ride his cock so slow she was going mad with the need to come. He was teasing her with gentle thrusts. No, she didn’t want gentle, that’s not what she needed.

  “Harder Brick, fuck me harder! Hurt me, make me come!. Show me the beast inside you. You’re an animal. You’ll always be an animal, no matter how hard you try to deny you nature,” she shouted while she continued to furiously rub her clit.

  She raked her nails down his chest and rivulets of blood trickled down his flesh. She leaned forward and licked the tasty treat. The blood of a supernatural was like ambrosia to a vampire, especially the blood of a shapeshifter. A shapeshifter’s blood was rich in oxytocin and endorphins. Oxytocin is the hormone that promotes deep connection and bonding. The only thing sweeter or more potent was faerie blood.

  He growled. “Okay Pepper, if that’s what you want.”

  Her ass slammed against his thighs as he used the shifter power in his arms to pound her up and down on his impossibly hard cock. He growled and roared as he ground his cock deep into the farthest reaches of her convulsing pussy. He corkscrewed his powerful hips and stirred her up inside. When his cock banged against her cervix, he held it right there, bruising the depths of her core. His pulsing cock filled her and she pushed back to swallow everything he had to give.

  She buried her face in his neck and suckled on the pulse in his throat as he thrust in and out of her wet heat. A collision of fire and desire crackled in her core as a desperate need built inside her. Each powerful thrust of his hips sent a bolt of pure pleasure through her, launching her higher and higher. Tiny orgasms rolled through her on a seemingly endless tide of ecstasy. Every time he pulled back, the withdrawal left her pussy feeling empty and longing for the return of his cock. Her legs trembled and anticipation crested inside her. He fucked her hard and rough, the way she liked, the way she needed. She was so damn close.

  She moved her mouth from his neck and flicked her tongue inside his ear canal. “Now Brick, now…come for me my-Beast.”

  His breathing was ragged. “Now, Pepper…you want it now?”

  Serena leaned back and dug her nails in his chest. Blood spurted in the air and the hungry monster inside her roared. Brick slammed into her one more time and a massive eruption exploded inside her. She dug her nails deeper into his flesh and his eyes popped open. Recognition slowly spread across his face

  “Ooooooooooh,” she shrieked as her pussy contracted around his shaft.

  ““You’re not….,” he started to say just as the tsunami of pleasure roiled within his balls.

  “Arrrrrg,” he shouted and his cock began to jerk inside her.

  Serena squeezed her walls around him as her own orgasm crested again. Brick spewed one jet of cum after another deep inside her.

  He grabbed her throat with both hands and tried to choke her as his body shuddered through a rolling climax. Serena couldn’t believe he had so much nectar to give. He was tired and still partially under her control. She pried his hands away from her throat with her vampire strength and stared into his surprised eyes.

  “I’m sorry, Brick. I had to be true to my nature.”

  Before he could react she clamped her mouth to his neck and bit deeply. His hot, rich shapeshifter blood spurted into her mouth just as another climax racked her body. She sucked and swallowed while Brick’s body jerked beneath her as he emptied himself deep inside her.

  Chapter Seven

  “Brick, open the damn door. Brick, I know you’re in there. I checked and your car is in your garage. Brick??”

  The pounding in my head was incessant and loud. I wanted to strangle the damn demon hammering away at my skull, but I’ll be damned if the little fucker didn’t sound like Leila. I latched onto the sound of her voice and grabbed it the way a drowning man clutches a lifeline. I clung to her voice as though my life depended on it. Slowly, I pulled myself up, back to reality and out of my nightmare.

  I opened my eyes and stared at the ceiling. I lay on my back with a light blanket covering me. My training kicked in and I didn’t move. The room was dark except for the light from the streetlight outside spilling through a window. I opened my senses to scan the room. I was alone and in my home. I recognized the feel of my leather couch on my back. I rolled over and landed on the floor with a thud.

  “Brick, I hear you in there. Open the door. If you’ve got a hoochie in there with you, tell her to get dressed and go home.”

  I staggered to my feet and shook my hea
d trying to clear the cobwebs. I looked at my watch, 10:00pm. Fuck. I’d slept the entire day away.

  “Stop pounding on my door, I hear you,” I shouted.

  I stumbled to the door on wobbly legs and flung it open. “What the hell is your problem?”

  Leila looked me up and down. “Why are you coming to the door butt ass naked? Do you really have a hoochie in here with you? She sniffed the air. Hmm, somebody has been fucking.”

  “Huh?” I looked down and she was right, I didn’t have on a stitch of clothes.

  “Don’t get me wrong, I admire the human body in all its glorious forms, but I don’t need to see your cock waving at me when I come by to discuss business. Besides, you’re not my type, you know I only date humans. You shapeshifters have got too many damn issues. I should know, I’m fucked up myself.”

  I growled. “Come in while I go find my pants and no I don’t have a hoochie in here.”

  “Why is it so damn dark? Haven’t you paid your electric bill?” Leila asked as she closed the door behind her.

  I turned on a lamp, snatched my sweatpants off the floor by the couch and marched into my bedroom. The lamp on the nightstand by the bed was on and next to the lamp was an empty bottle of Blood Wine. I pushed the door shut and leaned against the frame as memories came flooding back to me…Serena. I walked over to the bed and sat down. The bed was made up and lying on the pillows was a folded piece of paper. I snatched up the paper and opened it.

  Dear Brick, by the time you read this note I will be on my way to St. Louis. I received word from one of my sources that Aline and Meri never made it to Chicago. They tricked me by planting a false trail. I hope you got enough sleep, though I suspect you’ll have a bit of a headache when you wake. It should go away after you eat something.

  Your memory of what happened last night wasn’t a dream, it was all very real. You fucked me, not your precious Pepper and damn it was good. I hope it was good for you too. I suppose I should feel sorry about using you, but I was only being true to my nature. Yes, I also drank from you. Please don’t think too badly of me. Your shifter recuperative powers should help you fully recover from the blood loss in a day or two. Hopefully, what happened won’t affect our working together in the future.
