1114 Words
“Tobias?” I ask. He shakes his head, snapping himself out of whatever frenzied daze he’s in.
“Yeah?” he says. I look at the bed to see Lycus climbing out of it. Kalen and Darius still lay sound asleep. I hold up my wrist with a sigh, and Tobias shakes his head when I feel heat press against my back and fingers swipe my hair to my other shoulder. Lycus kisses my cheek as I look over my shoulder at him.
“He wants to feed on you,” Lycus growls against my skin while his lips trail my shoulder and neck.
My breath hitches as sparks zap and move over my skin. I tilt my head, giving him better access, loving the feel of his lips on my body. The bond urges me to give myself to them and let them do what they please with me. I want to obey. Desire courses through me so viciously that it makes my legs tremble as Lycus pulls me back against him. One hand squeezes my breast while the other is flat against my abdomen.
“You’re overwhelming her, Lycus,” Darius says, and I blink out of my lust-filled haze. Glancing over to look at him to see Darius sit up in bed. He rubs his eyes while Kalen wiggles closer, placing his head in Darius’ lap and wrapping his arms around his waist. I watch as Darius runs his fingers through Kalen’s hair, and I suddenly want to crawl back into bed to be with them.
“Someone wants to shred,” Lycus purrs, and I look up at him behind me. Lycus smiles seductively, and his eyes turn obsidian as his big hand cups my cheek, tilting my face toward his. I swallow at his closeness, and his eyes dart to my lips. He smiles mischievously, leaning his face closer; his breath fanning over my lips teasingly, nearly touching but waiting to see if I would pull away.
When I close the distance, his rich cinnamon and smokey scent entices me, my lips brushing his plump ones, wanting access. The noise that leaves me when his tongue brushes mine sounds needy as I turn in his arms, kissing him hungrily.
He smiles in amusement against my lips as I maul him. My tongue tangles with his, and I kiss him deeper. Lycus’ huge hands grip my thighs, hoisting me up and I wrap my legs around his waist, my arms slipping around his neck.
One of his hands slides up my back to my neck as Lycus kisses me harder, dominating my mouth as he tastes every inch, devouring my lips in a soul-destroying kiss. Heat rushes through me, and I gasp, pulling away from him breathlessly. Lycus smiles smugly, and his eyes flicker. He gave me some of his magic, just a taste, and I suddenly want more. His magic writhes through me, tickling my insides.
A moan escapes me, my eyes falling shut when warmth seeps into my back, stopping me from falling backward at the sensation rolling through me. It slivers in my veins; it feels empowering though it flickers and tries to mingle with my white magic, making me bite my lip as I fight the urge to let it meld together. Oh, how I wanted it to.
Yet fear of the unknown keeps me level-headed. I’m not sure what I can do, and some part of that scares me after hiding it for so long. Then last night’s thoughts return. Are they only using me because they now know what I am? I know the only one that would get hurt if that is the case is me. My thoughts are troubled when I feel fangs pierce my neck, and power floods into me like a tidal wave, cold and powerful. My eyes flutter shut, and my toes curl at the euphoria of it.
“Don’t fight it,” Lycus murmurs just before his lips crash against mine once again. His power surges through me and mixes with Tobias’, and my heart starts beating faster. It feels like it will burst out of my chest when desire so strong smashes into me, making me gasp as Tobias’ hands move up my sides. Tobias just marked me, and I can suddenly feel everything he feels.
No malice, just Tobias and his hunger, desire, and acceptance. He pulls his teeth from my neck, his lips traveling up my neck to below my ear.
“I want you, Aleera. Not what you can do for me,” Tobias murmurs when I feel Lycus’ teeth sink into the same spot, making my toes curl. My hips roll against his, and Lycus’ hands squeeze my ass as all his power surges into me, along with Tobias’.
Our powers blending, forces me to drop the barrier between both sides of magic, unable to contain it as it erupts, my veins tingling and my skin buzzing. Lycus pulls his teeth from my neck, and blood stains his lips.
“Two down, two to go.” Lycus laughs before his lips crash against mine hungrily. I can feel them completely, everything they feel. I can feel they gave me every drop of their power. They are both at my mercy if I choose not to give it back, and I smile against his lips, knowing he trusts me enough to have given me the power to destroy them, while trusting I don’t.
Kalen laughs, making me pull away from Lycus, who also looks over at him.
“What?” Lycus asks.
“She emptied your reserves,” Kalen teases with an amused laugh.
“So?” Tobias says against my neck. I sigh at the feel of his lips on my skin.
“What if she refuses to give it back?” Kalen mocks, and Tobias’ lips stop their teasing.
“I’ll get it back,” Lycus growls, rolling my hips against his front. His erection presses against me and makes me moan obscenely. “Isn’t that right, Aleera?”
I shake my head, and he growls, making me open my eyes to stare at him.
Lycus nips at my lips. “You will give it back,” he purrs.
“Make me.” My airy voice is almost a moan as arousal floods into me, and Tobias presses closer behind me.
Lycus chuckles darkly. “Our little vixen wants to play,” he taunts.
“Hmm, appears so. Let’s see who breaks her first, then,” Tobias growls as Lycus’ lips slam against mine. Tobias’ hands move up and over my hips, sneaking under my shirt and squeezing my breasts.
