Savage Fae (Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac Book 2)

by Caroline Peckham

  “Okay, okay,” Leon panted and Dante smiled as he released him, offering a hand to pull him up.

  Thunder boomed overhead and I looked up as more lightning forked through the sky.

  “Do you like it, carina?” Dante purred, moving to walk beside me.

  “It’s not bad,” I hedged with a smirk.

  Dante growled and the thunder boomed so loudly that the earth trembled with its power.

  “Fuck,” Leon breathed, slinging a muddy arm around my shoulders as my eyes widened in wonder.

  “Okay, it’s fucking incredible,” I admitted and Dante smiled wider at the compliment.

  Leon dragged me closer and I recoiled as he squelched mud all over me.

  “Eww,” I complained. “You need to have a shower Leo.”

  His eyes lit up with that idea. “Maybe you should join me,” he suggested and I bit my lip as we headed into the locker rooms.

  The rest of the team and Coach Mars were leaving already and we found ourselves alone in the open space as the door swung closed behind them.

  “So what do you say, little monster?” Leon pressed as we rounded a corner and found ourselves standing before the showers.

  The tiled space lined with drains held a row of six shower heads which were all currently switched off. Blue tiles covered the walls and the floor shone wetly after their last use. My heart beat faster as I considered Leon’s suggestion and I couldn’t really deny the heat that prickled along my spine.

  My gaze drifted from him to Dante who stood close to us. He pulled off his muddy shirt and headed over to his locker.

  I looked back up at Leon, but found he’d followed my gaze.

  “You wanna pick up where we left off at the Oscura party?” Leon asked curiously, dipping his mouth to my ear, his lips brushing my skin and sending a shiver dancing along my skin.

  “Do you like sharing me, Leo?” I teased as I turned to look at him over my shoulder.

  “Maybe there are worse things in the world,” he joked, wrapping his arms around my waist as he drew me back against his chest. “And I’d rather have a piece of you than none of you at all.”

  The storm crashed outside again and I turned in Leon’s arms, tiptoeing so that I could brush my lips against his. Hearing those words from him seemed to make a barrier fall down between us. He wasn’t trying to cage me anymore. He was accepting me for who I was and I’d never felt so drawn to him as I did in that moment.

  His kiss was hard and devouring, his hand coming up to catch my face as he held me there, his fingertips biting into my jaw.

  His stubble grazed my flesh in the most delicious way and I wound my arms around his neck as the kiss deepened, his tongue invading my mouth as my body ached for him.

  A tingle along my spine made me draw back and I turned to find Dante looking at us, his gaze heated.

  Leon’s hands slid down to my waist and he walked me back a step, closing the distance between us and Dante as his friend’s gaze travelled over the two of us hungrily.

  My arm brushed against Dante’s bare chest as I found myself between the two of them, memories of the party tumbling through my mind and making my thoughts whirl with insane possibilities.

  “I can’t touch her,” Dante said, taking a step back, his jaw ticking with frustration as Leon brushed his fingers down my spine over my Pitball jersey.

  “Why not?” Leon asked with a frown.

  “He struck a deal with Ryder,” I explained, pursing my lips.

  “Why the fuck would you agree to something that kept you away from Elise?” Leon demanded, his grip on me tightening.

  “To keep him away too,” Dante explained like it wasn’t fucking ridiculous. He looked at the two of us for a long moment, an idea sparking in his gaze. “Kiss her again.”

  My heart leapt as Leon instantly caught my chin and captured my lips with his, his kiss bruising as he pulled me against him. My fingers curled into his long hair as I drew him closer and I lost myself in the feeling of his lips on mine before pulling back to look at Dante hesitantly.

  Instead of leaving us to it, he’d taken a step closer, his eyes alight with desire and static electricity crackling from him.

  He held my eye for a long moment and heat tingled beneath my skin at the intensity of his gaze.

  “Take his shirt off,” Dante said slowly, daring me to follow his commands.

  My heart leapt at the thought of giving in to this game. It wasn’t breaking any rules. They’d never said anything about watching me do anything. But was I really going to do this?

  Electricity crackled through the air again, dancing up my spine and making me inhale sharply.

  I turned back to look up at Leon, wondering if he wanted to do this and found him gazing back with the same dare in his eyes.

  I reached out slowly and caught the hem of Leon’s shirt, my heart pounding as I pushed it up, my mouth falling to his chest the moment it was exposed.

  Leon tugged the shirt off of his arms and tossed it aside as I ran my lips over his skin and he growled with desire low in the back of his throat.

  “Kick your shoes off and get in the showers,” Dante’s voice came again and a thrill raced through me as I did as he said, stepping out of my sneakers and pulling off my socks before letting Leon lead me after him towards the showers.

  His mouth found mine again and he kissed me hungrily as he backed up, hooking his fingers into my waistband to tug me along and sending heat rushing between my thighs.

  My heart was pounding expectantly and I looked around at Dante, wondering just how far he was going to go with this. The desire in his eyes said he wasn’t going to leave and a thrill rushed beneath my skin at the thought of that.

  Leon twisted the dial for the shower and the sound of rushing water filled the air as cold droplets splashed over me where they bounced off of the blue tiles.

  I shivered a little, more from anticipation than the cold and Leon tugged my waistband again, his fingers brushing the top of my panties in a silent promise before jerking me forward a step as he claimed my mouth once more. My breathing hitched as I wrapped my arms around his neck and he hoisted me up into his arms.

  I wrapped my legs around his waist and he turned me around, driving me back against the wall and pinning me in place with his hips as he kissed me so hard it hurt. And it still wasn’t enough.

  The heat of Leon’s fire magic was blazing beneath his skin and everywhere my body met his was alive with heat and need.

  The water from the shower had warmed up and it cascaded over us as Leon shifted us under it. My white Pitball jersey was plastered to my skin, turning transparent to reveal my black bra beneath it.

  Leon shifted his mouth down my neck and I opened my eyes to look at Dante as he leaned forward over the low wall which separated the showers from the rest of the locker room, resting his forearms on it. His dark eyes were blazing with desire and I bit down on my lower lip as I fought against the urge to go to him too.

  He clenched his fist and the muscles of his bicep tensed, making my pulse spike as Leon’s hands slid beneath the hem of my shirt.

  “Take it off of her,” Dante growled and I lifted my arms as Leon peeled the soaking white shirt off of my body, leaving me in my shorts and bra.

  My chest rose and fell as my breaths came faster and Leon growled as he looked down at my body. He dove on the newly exposed flesh, painting kisses down the centre of my chest. I arched my back as his mouth brushed the edge of my bra, his fingers tightening around the strap as he prepared to tug it down, a moan of longing escaping me.

  “No,” Dante said and Leon hesitated at the command, clearly caught between his desire and the thrill of the game. My eyes shifted to him and he smiled darkly, licking his lips as he held us in suspense. “On your knees, take her shorts and panties off.”

  I released a groan of frustration as the aching need in my nipples was denied any satisfaction but soon forgot about it as Leon’s mouth drifted lower.

  He dropped
to his knees as he’d been told and I looked over at Dante, running my own hands over my breasts as he watched me, teasing at the edge of the material while still leaving it in place until he told me otherwise.

  Every kiss Leon planted on my flesh left a burning imprint on my body as fire magic flared beneath his skin and my eyes fell closed as I lost myself in the sensation of it, waiting for him to get where I wanted him.

  Leon trailed his hands down my sides, painting promises on my flesh as he drew ever closer to his goal, his teeth grazing my waistband before dragging it down.

  I inhaled sharply as he caught my shorts and panties in both hands and tugged them down, rolling them off of my legs until I stepped out of them for him.

  I tipped my head back against the tiles as Leon slowly drew his fingers back up my legs, sparks of energy rushing through me at the subtle touch.

  “Fuck, please,” I begged, unable to keep waiting as he toyed with me.

  Leon’s laugh was echoed by Dante’s and heat spilled down my spine at the knowledge of him watching this. I kept my eyes shut as I waited for Leon to put me out of my misery, unable to peel them open again knowing Dante was watching all of this.

  Leon caught my left leg in his grip, lifting it with a silent demand before hooking it over his shoulder.

  I gasped as his mouth fell on me a moment later, the kisses he’d bruised my lips with seeming tame as his tongue worked an untold magic between my thighs.

  A moan escaped me as he circled his tongue, an aching pressure building in my body as he devoured me and I could only fight to stay upright, my fingers clawing into his hair as the water thundered over us.

  “Eyes on me, bella,” Dante commanded and my eyes whipped open so that I could meet his gaze. A fierce heat spilled through me as I caught sight of the hunger in his eyes, the low wall parting us seeming more like a lifeline to him in that moment than a row of bricks. “And when he makes you come I want you to say my name.”

  My eyes widened as I looked at Dante, my heart pounding a wild tune as the feeling of him watching us set energy writhing beneath my flesh. I could see how much he wanted to join us, feel it crackling through the air as his electricity raised goosebumps all over my skin.

  “Asshole,” Leon growled, his mouth moving against my clit as he spoke and sending a vibration through my body which made me moan again.

  “Fuck,” I hissed between my teeth which only urged Leon on and made more electricity build in the air surrounding us.

  Leon continued his sweet torment, his tongue circling, teeth grazing, lips kissing in all the right places as I continued to moan my encouragement and my gaze stayed locked on Dante’s. It was so fucking hot. I didn’t know what I was getting off on more, the skill of Leon’s mouth or the ache in Dante’s gaze.

  Leon gripped my ass, pulling me against his mouth with more force as he pushed his tongue inside me, drawing a line back up to that perfect spot and sucking hard. I gasped and pleasure crashed through my body like a breaking dam, my back arching as I called out Dante’s name just as he’d commanded.

  Electricity crackled through the room, sparking along the moisture that coated my skin and intensifying the orgasm that was ripping through me so that I cried out again.

  A dark smile lit Dante’s stunning features as he watched me fall apart and Leon growled with satisfaction from between my thighs.

  My head tipped back and my legs felt weak but as Leon rose before me, I knew we weren’t even close to done. I’d been dancing around this with him for weeks, but I was finally past teasing him. I wanted him, every inch of him and I didn’t want to wait anymore.

  “Take him in your hand, bella,” Dante growled but I didn’t need the encouragement. The bulge in Leon’s pants had all of my attention and I reached for him eagerly. I unzipped his fly, his eyes darkening as I pushed my hand beneath his boxers.

  Leon growled as he pressed forward, kissing me again and drawing a pleading moan from my lips.

  “See what you’re doing to him, carina?” Dante asked. “What you’re doing to both of us.”

  My heart hammered at his words and Leon groaned as I shifted my hand up and down along the length of him.

  Before Dante could say anything else, Leon stooped to catch the backs of my thighs and lifted me off of my feet. I pushed his boxers out of the way to free him from them, our need taking over as our bodies begged to be joined.

  Dante stayed silent as he watched us but the electricity in the air sparked with his arousal, little flashes of it hitting my skin where the water still poured down on us.

  Leon’s mouth moved from mine as he lined himself up to claim me and he trailed a path to my ear, taking my earlobe between his teeth and tugging lightly before releasing it so that he could speak.

  “This time you’re screaming my name, little monster,” he purred before pushing into me and stealing the breath from my lungs. I gasped as the hard length of him filled me completely.

  Leon groaned at the feeling of us finally coming together and his gaze met mine for a moment, a deep hunger burning in his golden eyes.

  With a growl of desire, he captured my lips again and shifted his hips back before slamming into me once more. I cried out, my nails digging into his shoulders as I clung to him.

  My eyes met Dante’s and his jaw clenched as he drank in the movements of our bodies, demanding more from us and getting it as Leon thrusted into me again.

  I moaned and cursed, my nails gouging lines down Leon’s back while Dante’s eyes never left us and I was drunk on the feeling of his unwavering attention.

  Leon devoured the sounds I made, his tongue pressing into my mouth as his body took possession of mine and he started up a relentless rhythm which had me clinging to him as the water continued to tumble over us.

  His fingers bit into my thighs as he held me in place, pounding into me again and again as my body rose to a new high and every inch of me was filled with the burning heat of his flesh.

  I was clawing at his back, his broad shoulders, his arms, everywhere I could get to as he took total control of my body, feeding me pleasure until I could hardly take it anymore. My back arched into the movement of his hips as he tore through the barriers I’d placed between us and finally took what he desired from me.

  I could feel my muscles tightening around the length of him as he drove me towards oblivion and I wanted more of it, every piece of him.

  My fangs snapped out and I caught a fistful of his wet hair in my grip as I yanked his head aside and drove my teeth into his neck.

  For a split second it felt like all the power of the sun was pouring from him into me, his magic burning inside me like a living flame and washing through me as a wave of bliss burst through my flesh. I moaned into his neck, my head spinning and light flashing beneath my eyelids as he tore me apart and I forgot what way was up or where we were. All I could feel was his body against mine and the tremors tumbling through my skin.

  Leon cursed as the spike of pleasure and pain from my bite finished him too and his grip on me tightened as he spilled himself inside me, his body crushing mine back against the wall as we clung to each other and rode through the wave of ecstasy.

  Electricity flared through the room from Dante, kissing my flesh and intensifying everything I was feeling so that my toes curled and I cried out again.

  I withdrew my fangs from Leon’s neck, panting as I fought to catch my breath and he kissed me like the whole world stopped and started in that moment.

  My grip on his hair loosened and I ran my fingers along his jaw as I kissed him gently, the dizziness passing and allowing me to open my eyes.

  “You’ll be the ruin of me, little monster,” Leon swore as he slowly lowered my feet back to the ground and I smiled up at him.

  He ran his fingers along the side of my face, looking at me like he was drinking in this moment so that he could hold onto it forever once it was passed. For a moment I forgot to breathe as I looked up into his golden eyes and the heat burning ther
e immobilised me.

  He finally stepped back with a satisfied smile and pushed his pants off properly before moving further beneath the flow of water beside us so that he could wash the remains of the mud out of his hair.

  My eyes found Dante’s again, and his mouth pulled into a dark smile as I bit my lip. I pulled my panties back on and crossed the space between us, advancing on him slowly and ringing out my hair as his eyes moved over my body, drinking me in.

  “Da dove vieni, amore mio?” he growled.

  I smiled at the sound of him speaking to me in his language. It set a fire burning in my soul and made desire coil in my core even though I had no idea what he was saying.

  “I’m still hungry, Dante,” I breathed as I moved around the low wall which divided us and he turned to face me.

  The glimmer of excitement in his eyes was the only confirmation I needed as I moved into his personal space.

  I pressed my wet hands to his bare stomach and slowly slid them up the hard lines and ridges of his chest.

  “I think I may have acted too quickly when I made this fucking deal,” he groaned as I wrapped my arms around his neck and tiptoed up to brush my lips along his throat.

  “Silly boy,” I breathed before driving my fangs into his flesh.

  Dante groaned, his hands finding my ass and pulling my wet body flush against his so I could feel exactly how much he wanted me in every hard line of him.

  The electric taste of his blood spilled into me and I moaned as energy zapped through my body, finding every nerve ending Leon had left tingling and shooting more pleasure through them.

  My grip on him tightened and his dark laugh sent energy racing down my spine.

  I finally pulled back, licking his blood from my lips as I backed up and his hands trailed from my flesh reluctantly.

  I wasn’t sure if I’d lost my mind by letting the Kings get so close to me, but I couldn’t help it. Every time I drew back, they reeled me in again and I’d decided to stop fighting it.

  I could take this pleasure from them while still investigating what had happened to my brother. My will was iron, my motive intact. If it turned out that one of them had been responsible, I wouldn’t blink. I’d do what I’d sworn to and damn the consequences. I might have been willing to share my body with them, but they wouldn’t get my heart. It was too broken to hand out to anyone anyway. And as I looked between Leon and Dante, I couldn’t bring myself to regret a second of what we’d done.
