Cyrus adjusts his glasses, the move bringing my attention to his handsome face.
“There’s no technology in Mordeeves Island, so we’ll equip Phoenix with a talisman to be able to portal to your estate.”
Phoenix meets Cyrus’s gaze, and the two exchange a nod. It’s good to see them bond.
Kristo rises from the table, adjusting the jacket he never removed.
“That’s a suitable solution. We’ll be on our way. Until you’ve all bonded and this curse is broken, I expect I won’t see any of you.” Kristo gestures his head to me. “Farewell, Selene. It’s been a pleasure.”
“Thanks for looking out for all of us.”
A shadow of a smile pulls at his lips, revealing a partial fang. He gives a nod, his smile fading. Leaving us, he disappears into the night, returning to the SUV on the other side of the house.
“Be safe, Phoenix. I’d hate for you to disappoint Father.”
Phoenix snickers. “Be careful, Andrea.”
“As for the rest of you,”—she glances at each of us, settling on me—“I wouldn’t be disappointed if I saw you again.”
Smiling, I shake my head. “Goodbye, Andrea. Hopefully, the next time we meet, we can spend time together.”
Andrea huffs and rolls her eyes, but a genuine smile creeps up her cheek. She disappears as easily as Kristo did, a gift vampires have. It’s no wonder she was able to sneak up on a young wolf shifter.
Speaking of.
“I wonder how Lexi and your cousins are doing.”
“Probably fucking on my couch or our bed,” Killian jokes.
“I wouldn’t be surprised.” I give him a knowing look, and he thrusts his hips up as he holds my ass tight to him.
“That was a damn good night, wasn’t it, sweetheart?”
“Yes.”
Arousal edges its way into every limb, goosebumps rising on my arms. Killian brings me close to his chest, breathing me in as he slips a hand between my thighs.
“I think it’s time they head home. You’re craving us.”
“You’re not the only one who can scent her arousal. She’s becoming wet between her legs.” Phoenix’s desire-filled gaze and brazen words have my arousal intensifying.
Cyrus’s hand gathers a handful of my hair and pulls my head back to accept his sensuous kiss. “Let’s get her home to Mordeeves Island first.”
A satisfied breath escapes me from his kiss and the pressure of Killian’s touch between my legs.
“Not without a kiss first.” Phoenix curls his finger, and I lean forward. Tongue circling mine, he reminds me of what that tongue can do to my pussy. I moan into Phoenix’s mouth, and Killian grows hard beneath me.
“I want all of you.”
My eyes linger on Phoenix, awaiting his reaction.
“Then you’ll have all of us.” A smile splits my lips, and Phoenix grazes a finger under my chin. “Let’s go pack.”
No one argues with Phoenix’s plan to leave tonight instead of tomorrow. As I stand, Killian puts his arms around me, kissing my neck.
“I’m eager to be inside you.”
“Same.” My reply is breathy as he squeezes my hips, his fingers dipping into my jeans.
Griffin takes my hands, putting them around his neck as Killian toys above my opening.
“How long can we keep her aroused?” Griffin’s tone is mischievous. Lifting my shirt, he palms my breasts beneath my bra, his thumbs rubbing over my nipples slowly enough for pleasure to pulse at my core.
“There’s no need to torment her.” Phoenix’s arms breach their hold and pull me to him. “We have time to pleasure her and leave her with a taste of what will come later.”
Hoisting me onto the table, he pushes me on my back, then tugs at my jeans. I gasp as the cool night air reaches between my bare thighs. My boots are removed, then my jeans are pulled off my ankles.
“Watch and learn, boys,” Phoenix taunts.
Lifting my legs toward me, he lowers between them. My head falls back, and I moan through every delectable touch of his tongue on my clit. The pleasure comes in forceful waves, my mind blank, my body focused solely on sensations. Every moan reveals my mounting satisfaction, my body climbing toward a blissful climax. With four of them watching, I orgasm, my breath and body shuddering.
Emeric approaches and taps Phoenix on the shoulder. “One orgasm isn’t enough. Let me show you how it’s done.”
Seriously, is a competition of eating my pussy happening right now? Emeric lowers, and my breath catches. Fuck, it is happening, and I’m going to keep my mouth shut and enjoy it. Emeric thrusts his tongue between my pussy lips, and with his skilled movements, he has me trembling through a second orgasm in no time. Rising from between my legs, he grins.
“You love it when I do that, don’t you, baby?”
I’m a moaning mess, but I manage to nod yes with a giant smile.
Griffin pushes Emeric aside.
“How about a change of pace?”
Before I can answer, Griffin is between my legs, his slow-moving tongue licking up my center, his lazy circles and tongue thrusts pushing me right toward another orgasm.
“I’m going to die from orgasms and have a blissful death,” I murmur.
Griffin laughs, and the vibration sends me over the edge. I climax, my legs closing as he pulls back from me.
Cyrus takes Griffin’s position when he moves. “You guys are forgetting a whole other area.” He palms my pussy, massaging into it. My moans escalate, my arousal on the rise once more. Sliding two fingers into me, he finds my G-spot and works it, bringing me toward another orgasm. Smiling, moaning, and writhing, I orgasm for the fourth time, my body in pleasured bliss.
Killian gives Cyrus’s shoulder a nudge. Standing between my legs, he gathers my wetness on his fingers, then circles my ass, preparing me. Sliding a digit in, he uses his thumb to work my clit at the same time. The pleasure of both fingers has my mouth in the shape of an “O.” Another orgasm, and I see stars behind my lids. I’m completely spent, my body unmoving and stuck in a state of euphoria.
Killian lifts me into a sitting position and kisses me, pulling the world back into focus.
“My cousins need to go. We’re all rock hard for you, sweetheart.”
The back door opens, and Killian turns, shielding me with his body. The others move closer to him, blocking me from Garrett’s view.
Looking over Killian’s shoulder, Garrett runs a hand through his hair and smirks. “We’re headed home. We’re taking Lexi with us.”
Off the table, I gather my underwear, pants, and boots, then quickly dress.
“I’m glad you found your mate,” Killian says with deep sincerity.
“We are too. We’re eager to get her home.”
“I understand.” Killian glances over his shoulder to ensure I’m dressed. Leaving our group, he joins Garrett. “We’ll be leaving tonight and staying a while in Mordeeves Island. I want all of you to keep a low profile until you hear from me. Got it?”
“Yeah. How long do you think you’ll be gone?”
“However long is necessary.”
“All right,” Garrett acknowledges. “I’ll share the news with the rest of our family. Need us to check on your place every once in a while?”
“As long as it’s not too much trouble.”
“Not at all.”
“I’ll get you the house and shop key, then go over a few important things.”
Garrett and Killian go inside, and we follow.
Sitting on the couch, Lexi has red cheeks and disheveled hair. I give her a wink, and her tight lips loosen into a smile. Sitting next to her, I flick a strand of her hair.
“Enjoy yourself?”
Trying to downplay her grin, she bites her bottom lip. “Yes.”
Everett, on the other side of her, wraps a hand around her side and along her thigh as he kisses her cheek.
“We’re grateful we found her.”
“I bet. So, you’re heading home with
them?”
“I am.” Her brows pinch inward as though she’s waiting for me to disapprove.
“I think it’s great. It’ll be good to spend time together.”
Relief washes over her face. “Thanks. Would you mind if we exchanged numbers? I’d like to keep in touch.”
“Definitely.” I start to stand, but Griffin has already picked up my phone from the kitchen and brought it to me.
“Thank you.”
Warm lips press to my cheek. “No problem, love.”
Lexi watches the exchange and smiles. I’m sure she’s looking forward to having the same kind of relationship dynamic we all have. After swapping numbers, I set my phone on the coffee table.
“We’re all taking a trip to somewhere private. I won’t be reachable for a while, but once I am, I’ll check on you.”
“I’m glad I had the chance to meet you. I hope everything works out for all of you and us supernaturals.”
“Me too.”
CHAPTER TEN
SELENE
Walking through the portal into the living room of my first home with my boyfriends brings back many delicious memories and a sensation of comfort and safety. Griffin drops his duffle bag by the couch.
“There’s a whole living area in the basement, Phoenix. It’s equipped with a bedroom, bathroom, office, living room, and workout room.”
Phoenix’s brow rises with surprise. “Thank you, Griffin.”
“I tried to make this place a home for all of us.”
Emeric pats him on the back. “You did good, Griff.”
My heart pitter-patters at the exchange. Phoenix is warming up to the others, and Emeric has even given Griffin a nickname. My cheeks swell with my smile, and Killian notices, kissing my cheek.
“We’re finally a pack,” he whispers.
“Phoenix, you’ll have to see our bedroom. It’s amaz—” My words cut off, and my heart sinks. He can’t share the bedroom. The daylight will hurt him.
Cyrus catches my pained expression. “We’ll rearrange as necessary, gorgeous. Don’t worry about that.”
“Half roof?” Emeric suggests. “Covering the bed?”
Cyrus nods. “We can create a roof from the wall of the door outward and still leave the second half uncovered.”
“Do we have the wood needed?” Killian asks.
“Yeah,” Griffin assures him. “We can take what we need from the forest.”
Killian rubs my back. “We’ll start on it tomorrow.”
Tears fill my eyes. “I love all of you… so much.”
Curling me into a hug, Killian kisses my head. “We love you just as much.”
Cyrus rubs my shoulders as Killian releases his hold. “Are you tired?”
“I am.”
“How about you sleep with Phoenix tonight?”
The corner of Phoenix’s mouth lifts, as does mine.
“I think that’s a great idea.”
The guys grab Phoenix’s extra bags and help carry them as we all follow Griffin to the basement door under the primary stairwell, down a circular wooden stairwell into a clean, nicely decorated living space. In the time I spent here, it never occurred to me there was a basement, and Griffin never mentioned it. I suppose it wasn’t important at the time, but now I’m grateful there is a basement, so Phoenix can have his own safe, private space.
The light-gray living room has a pretty red couch and matching red paisley chairs. The lighter and brighter tones are nice since the room doesn’t have any windows. Phoenix looks at the bare wall.
“I’d like to have one of Selene’s paintings on that wall.”
“Not a problem,” Griffin replies, extending an arm out for us to explore the rest of the space. The guys follow Phoenix and me into the bedroom. It’s painted an even lighter gray with a black bed frame and a lovely black, silver, and red comforter set.
“I like it,” I enthuse.
Phoenix sets a bag down, and the guys drop the other bags next to it, including mine.
“It does look good,” Phoenix agrees.
Cyrus gives me a hug. “Have a good night's sleep.” With a slow, sensuous kiss, he leaves my lips tingling.
Killian pulls me close to his chest, kisses me on the nose, then raises my chin for a deeper kiss. “Good night, sweetheart.”
Griffin hugs me, then strokes my face as his tongue mingles with mine. “Night, love.”
Emeric is last, his wings enfolding me as he tongue-fucks my mouth and leaves me breathless.
“Take advantage of your time, Phoenix, because come morning, I’m fucking her senseless.”
The others laugh, and even Phoenix snickers.
“Too bad she’ll be too tired.”
Giggling, I wave goodbye to them. When the door at the top of the stairs closes, Phoenix puts his arms around me, his chest to my back.
“I meant it,” he breathes against my ear. “You will be too tired.”
Turning in his arms, I look up at his unique, ice-blue eyes. “I guess we’ll see.”
Lifting me easily, he tosses me on the bed, and I giggle. Pulling back the comforter, I get it ready for us to lie under it. Untying my boots, I strip down to my underwear and bra. Phoenix removes everything, and I can’t help staring at his abs and hanging cock.
“As a vampire, do you enjoy blowjobs?”
Phoenix chuckles as he settles in and pulls me to his chest.
“Not like humans do. For me, it’s more about the pleasure of sex and drinking blood at the same time. That is the ultimate euphoria.”
“What’s it like being born a vampire?”
“Vampire babies need blood from inside the womb and immediately after. We don’t drink milk like human babies.
“Vampire women can’t have babies, can they?”
Phoenix strokes my arm in lazy circles. Knowing he’s this relaxed with me fills me with immense joy.
“Only vampires born of humans, but not vampires who have been turned from human to vampire.” There’s a hint of disappointment in his tone, which leaves me wondering if Vivian was a human turned vampire.
“Do human women survive birthing a vampire baby?”
“Yes,” he smiles, the tips of his fangs visible.
“How if the baby is drinking their blood in the womb?”
“Remember how my blood made you feel?”
“I do.”
“A human carrying a vampire child is supposed to drink the blood of the vampire father. It keeps her healthy enough to carry the vampire child.”
“That makes sense why your blood is revitalizing.”
“Nature always finds a way.”
Staring at him, I study his features—the sharp angle of his jaw, his perfectly round nose, his pale eyes, and the fangs protruding beneath his lip.
“Can I touch them?”
Phoenix raises his lip. Touching the point of one, I scrape my finger over the sharp tip, noticing how easy it would be to pierce a tiny hole in flesh, much like a needle.
“You fascinate me,” I confess.
Phoenix strokes my face, his touch warming my body.
“I feel the same about you.”
Eyes following his fingers, he caresses my chest, between my breasts, over my stomach, and applies more pressure at my opening. My body comes alive with arousal, my center aching for more.
“Will you touch me all over?”
“Yes.” I reach for him, and he’s already hard. As I stroke him, the pressure of his caress increases. “I love the way you make my body feel. Like it’s lighting up with fireworks.”
Closing his lips over mine, he maneuvers his fingers around my folds as though he’s memorizing my body. Pulling back from our kiss, he leaves my head dizzy with lust.
“What else do you feel?” Along my thighs, his fingers trail, then apply pressure again.
“So much want. I want you touching me, kissing me, I want your cock inside me, pleasuring me. I want you to bite me and take pleasure from me.”
; Licking my neck, he nips with his lips, teasing my skin and my arousal.
“Do you know why I call you my sweet, succulent rose?”
“I don’t.”
“It’s the scent of your arousal—sweet, succulent, and drives me mad with want.”
I stop stroking his lengthy cock as he rolls me onto my back and puts himself between my legs.
“Have me, Phoenix.”
Pushing his erection against my underwear, he pleasures my pussy lips.
“There’s an advantage of being a vampire.”
“What is it?”
“We don’t need long breaks between having sex, so don’t plan on sleeping much tonight.”
Moving my underwear fabric to the side, he thrusts into my wet opening, and the pleasure draws an intensely satisfied moan from me. My legs wrap around his ass as his hands take hold of my body, gripping me as he powerfully thrusts deep inside me. Magic essence bursts out around us in a chaotic cloud as our pleasure rises.
Pulling out, he easily turns me over, then lifts my ass in the air and slides back into my eagerly waiting pussy. With a moan, I clench around him and grip the sheets as the satisfying feel of him pushes me toward an orgasm.
“I want you to feel my cock in every position.”
“So do I.”
Lifting my hands, he places them on the bedframe, then puts a hand around my neck as he leans over me, gripping me tightly as he fucks me.
“I’ll hold off on biting you for as long as I can.”
“Don’t… I want you to bite me.”
Between his thrusts, he groans. “You are meant to be mine, aren’t you?”
Gripping my hair, he pulls my head back, his fangs piercing my flesh. As his mouth sucks at my neck, and his thrusts come in short, rapid bursts, my orgasm explodes, the pleasure whipping through my body and shocking me with its intensity.
My lids blink away my fatigue. I take a deep breath, aware of our intensely passionate night of sex in the air. Curling over his body, I swirl my fingers around his hard chest. With a quiet laugh, he covers my hand.
“That tickles.”
“Vampires are ticklish?”
“Of course, we’re sensitive to touch.”
