Phoenix’ POV I need a few minutes to calm the fuck down and process. The bed is soaked, and so are we. I’ve seen videos of women squirting, but I always kind of thought it was edited or whatever. Seeing Rose come apart like that, fuck, it was everything I’ve dreamed of and more.“How are you feeling baby girl?” I prop my head up, leaning on one elbow so I can see her face. She looks lost and perhaps confused and I can’t help feeling a little proud that I did this to her. She will have all of my firsts, just like I will have hers, and that was a hell of a start.“That was... I had no idea... how did you?” she mumbles, panting to catch her breath.“The most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. I’m so lucky you are mine, I’ll never forget that or take you for granted Rose.” My heart pounds against my sternum as I realise how truly and madly in love with her I am. Of course I can’t tell her that now, I wouldn’t want her to think it’s a heat of the moment declaration, but I will show her exac
Rose’s POV The searing pain makes my eyes water and I’m pretty sure I’ll never walk the same way again. But after a few minutes of him staying still, my body seems to accept his invasion, and I need him to move. When he does, my God, I almost skin his poor arms with my nails. The full feeling of his cock forcing my insides apart with every deep thrust, he overfills me, and I’m overcome with an all consuming feeling of possession.This is what I've wanted and needed for so long. This connection to him and knowing that we are as close as two people can possibly be. I was scared when I realised what he is, but then my heart has wanted this bond with him for so long. A mate bond that transcends the mundane kind of love I wasn't sure I would ever find. ‘Mine.’ A voice growls in my head. Huh. I don’t usually, actually hear my thoughts.The pleasure pulling me towards him is different than the way his fingers made me feel. Like the heavy feeling deep in my tummy is stronger, deeper even.
Phoenix’ POVWe lay in silence for the next little while. I trail my fingers lazily up and down her back and she makes adorable little moaning noises when I pass over a certain spot between her shoulder blades.When she starts shifting her weight around trying to get comfy I realise how much my cock has swollen. It’s the strangest sensation. My skin feels tight and I can feel my pulse like my heart is right there, beating inside her.“Is it hurting baby?” I hold on to her as I try to shuffle myself up the pillows, holding her and bringing her with me.“It burns a bit, but it feels kind of good. I’m so full and when you move it makes a warm feeling in my tummy and legs.” She blushes. I doubt she has ever really spoken about this kind of stuff with Gwynn, despite all the filthy books she reads, it’s different saying the words out loud. “It won’t happen like this every time. I promise I’ll make it up to you. You’ve been so brave, through all of this. You’re doing so well. I’m so proud
Rose’s POVI’m still straddled over Phoenix’ lap when I wake again, only this time the dull ache of his swollen cock has turned into more of a burning sting, and I let out a groan of discomfort before I’m awake enough to realise what I’m doing.I can see and feel how guilty he feels about our current predicament, and I’ve been trying not to let it show, but what was a kind of pleasant discomfort has now crossed the border into pain territory.“Here baby girl, have something to drink.” Phoenix brings a glass of water up to me and a suck gratefully from the straw. My mouth had felt like I’d eaten sand, and the cold water cools me from the inside.“Thank you.” I squeeze my eyes closed and curse inwardly as I move without thinking to try to take some of my weight off my knees. Phoenix doesn’t miss a beat, it’s like he can read my mind, and he wraps an arm behind me, rolling me onto my back so he is hovering above me again.“Aaaaah, shit.” I gasp as he accidentally pushes deeper during
Phoenix’ POV“Thanks Wolfie.” She murmurs as she closes her eyes and her body goes limp on soaked sheets. That can’t be comfortable but she is obviously exhausted. I feel my wolf soften at her nickname for him and I’m too stunned for words. ‘Don’t fucking think about it. She can call me whatever she wants. It’s still wolf or beast to you boy.’ My beast warns me before I can even fire off one of the dozens of smart arse remarks that come to mind. It’s a damn shame I need him right now, or I’d have some real fun at Wolfie’s expense. My cock settles down and returns to normal in a matter of minutes, and as I pull out, Rose whimpers in her half asleep state. The sheets are soaked and my cock is streaked with her virgin blood. The animal inside me loves the sight and wants to tell anyone and everyone she chose me, but the man who loves the woman he just claimed, knows that shouting it from the rooftops isn’t the way to go.Luckily she is too out of it to be embarrassed when I lower my
Rose’s POV A small ember of hope comes alive in my heart. I so desperately want it to be true, but I don’t dare allow myself to dream it. Phoenix was asking about granny Gwynn and her stories, and Wolfie wants to talk about the guys, me and granny. Could it be that what I thought were dreams are actually true? When I thought granny was a witch, it wasn’t my childish imagination playing games. That haunting voice I hear on and off, like a fading echo, could be more than just my imagination or my mind playing tricks on me. I could be going crazy. It would be understandable if I was losing my grip on reality, wouldn’t it? After all, that kind of stuff is hereditary, isn’t it? And granny was kind of loopy before she died.“Bro, Flower.” Jackson greets Phoenix and I and ruffles my hair affectionately just like he used to when I was a kid, as Phoenix deposits me on a stool at the breakfast bar. None of them have called me flower since… jeez, I must have been thirteen or fourteen. I didn’t
Phoenix’ POVMy brothers and I mind link about a plan to take Rose to get the rest of her stuff, as we pick over the last bits of dinner. I don’t want to bring up Antonellia in front of her and unless she mentions him. She won’t have any idea what happens to him when we get our hands on him. Actually, even if she asks, I won’t tell her anything other than he has been dealt with. I can’t wait for that day.‘Let’s get on with it then.’ My wolf is impatient to get down to business.“Let’s go and get comfy. My wolf wants to talk.” I lift Rose off her stool and she wraps her arms around my neck as I and carry her over to the sofa, my brothers all fallow behind us, keen to get some answers.I fuss for a minute, plumping Rose’s pillow, making sure she is tucked in with a blanket and her drink is easily within reach. When I notice my brothers all giving me shit eating grins and shaking their heads, I realise just how much has changed in the last couple of days.I am so far gone for this woman
Rose’s POV“How does he know? Is he sure? Why wouldn’t she tell me? No. I would know if granny was a witch. I lived with her, I would have seen…. Signs.” I can’t process this. It was obviously Wolfie who dropped the bombshell. Phoenix’ eyes are almost fully molten gold, and I’ve been able to feel his presence ever since Phoenix pulled me into his lap.I did see signs though, didn’t I? I saw candles flicker to life on the other side of the room. I saw her chanting and singing as she made her tea blends and ground herbs and spices to make healing balms and elixirs. She told me she was just cooking and making old wives remedies for her friends, and that I was imaging the candles. But the night I really started to think she might be a real live witch was the night I heard my mother’s voice.I was in bed, and it was late. I should have been asleep hours ago, but I just couldn’t settle. Then I heard it. Mums laugh, loud and clear as day. I sneaked out of my room and onto the landing and pe
Rose’s POV My arms and legs feel like they are floating, and the only thing holding me down is Trax’ chest pressed against mine.I must have stopped Phoenix from coming at least four times already, I have lost count, but every time he gets close that feeling travels down our bond and into me, adding to the giant ball of frustration, pleasure, and pain that is building in the pit of my stomach “Hold on to me, little one. Don’t forget what I told you.” Trax dips his head, and I feel the points of his tongue probe and lick my neck and shoulder. My fingers dig into his hard biceps and my legs twitch and spasm as he reaches between us to pinch and rub my clit.Oh. My. God. His pelvis slams into mine as he jack hammers into me at a relentless pace. My pussy convulses around him and I feel my release as hot jet after jet of my orgasm is forced from me by his aggressive claiming of my body. His razor sharp teeth sink into my skin and the sting spreads over my shoulder and down my arm.“Oh
Trax’ POV This escalated quickly, and despite years of practising self-control, I could not resist the otherworldly urge to take and claim what I know is mine.I promised Amarragh faithfully that I would not take things any further than teaching Rose about visualisation and elemental manipulation, yet here we are. The very same night he leaves, and I have been balls, wrist, and tail deep in one or both of them and am fixing to mark Rose as mine.He is going to lose his shit when he comes back and finds my mark on her beautiful neck. I only hope the fact that I haven’t spilled his secret might save my arse. If I had told them everything without him being here to clarify exactly what his role in everything is, he would most definitely flay me alive.Rose is the sweetest reward for a life half lived, and Phoenix is an unexpected bonus who makes this whole dynamic much more interesting. Amarragh tried to make me understand the appeal of losing yourself in another, of pulling the pleasure
Rose’s POV “Oh fuck.” How the hell does his cock stretch me more and feel like it reaches deeper than his entire balled up fist? I didn’t get the chance to actually see his cock before he impaled me with it, and make no mistake, that is exactly what he did. I thought he was lifting me up to put me on the floor so I could gather my senses. So when he pulled me onto his cock and thrust himself inside me, it knocked the wind right out of me.Trax feels nothing like Phoenix. Not better, not worse, but totally different. “Close your eyes little girl.” He has taken to calling me that, and it doesn’t give me the ick like I expected. I feel looked after, cherished and special. I know that sounds mad considering what he is doing to my body, but I can feel the care with which he touches and moves me. Everything he and Phoenix do is for my pleasure and even though I may complain and beg, I feel more alive at their mercy than I ever have before.His dirty talk is something else. Phoenix revere
Phoenix’ POV continued Rose’s flat tongue licks the bead of precum hanging from the tip of my painfully engorged cock. Trax doesn’t lay a single hand on me but the tip of his tail prods and probes at my back door. Instead he uses two fingers on one hand to spread Rose’s pussy wide open, then forces four fingers inside her, making her gasp and groan as she sucks the head of my cock into her mouth, never moving her hands from where Trax placed them.“We will need to work on your pain tolerance and loosening you up if you are going to take my fist and my cock little girl.” He fucks his fingers deeper and I watch on as she looks up at me with tears in her eyes. She doesn’t want him to stop, she wants what he promised. She wants to give him the control and ownership of her body that he craves, just like she so willingly gives herself to me.“Yes.” She gulps and returns to sucking me, the tip of her tongue probes at my hole, coaxing more precum to leak out for her to lap up.“And when we
Phoenix’ POV I don’t know if Rose has cottoned on to the fact that we have a mind link with Trax. She is only just getting the hang of using it with me and my brothers, so for now I think I will use her ignorance to my advantage.‘Don’t do it yet. Make her beg and plead. She does it so well and she will enjoy it more the longer we make her wait for it.’ I speak into the demon’s mind and let him know how to get the best out of her. The thought of him penetrating her, and her begging him for it... has my blood up, and not in the murderous way I expected. ‘She smells too good. How do you ever put her down?’ his eyes darken to pure pitch black as he looks up at me with the same hunger I feel. He is well on his way to joining me in my addiction and I’ll be fucked if I don’t love the idea of dragging him under with me.“I need to taste you first little one. May I...?” he asks permission again, taking his promise literally. I would tell him he doesn’t need to ask before every touch, but I
Rose’s POV “And you. What do you have to say about all of this?” My tongue feels like it’s coated in sand, and my head is spinning with everything Phoenix had to say. Two mates. How can I have two mates? And one is a demon. It’s like a bad joke. I was only just getting used to Phoenix and his needs, having someone else in my head and feeling their emotions. The weight of his love is a burden I happily bear, but the thought of disappointing or not being enough for two mates... that is a lot to carry.“I have had longer to accept what the universe has in store for me. More than one clairvoyant has seen multiple mates in my future. Your own many times great grandmother hinted that my destiny was tied to the Llewellyn line.” Trax looks at Phoenix and I with sympathy. The inner conflict we are both dealing with is obvious and I can sense Phoenix’ reluctance to act on anything that might make me doubt him or his devotion to me, just as I don’t want to hurt him or Augustus.“Let us take thi
Phoenix’ POV The air seems to move around us as Trax guides Rose through visualising the heat from the fire. Augustus is front and centre, watching through my eyes with curiosity about more than our mate’s magic. He is watching Trax just as much as I am. ‘It is not unheard of you know.’ His voice in my mind holds a hint of disbelief. ‘Just outdated and not spoken of anymore.’‘What isn’t unheard of?’ I ask, distracted by the sensation of the demon’s hands on Rose. I can feel the warmth being absorbed by my skin as if they are on my own shoulders, and the fact that I don’t hate it is fucking with my head.‘More than one mate. I haven’t heard of it happening in generations, but mixed, and multiple mates used to be common many, many moons ago. It was only after the wars, when the population of each race was so depleted, that mate bonds only formed within the same race. I think Rose is special. More than special as our mate. I believe her destiny is to bring all of the races together ag
Rose’s POV As I watched Amarragh and Jackson carry the wrapped body of one of Antonellia’s men down the rickety steps and onto the waiting boat, I expected to feel something. Fear. Disgust, that one of the men I trust with my life could take a life just as easily. I always knew they were killers, but knowing and seeing are two different things.Is it bad that I only felt relieved? Am I losing my grip on my humanity? My parents were killed, but they weren’t the only ones who suffered. Did that man have a family who loved and missed him?He was a product of a failed experiment by the agency, and his death only made the world safer. The men Jackson and Amarragh would kill over the next couple of days are all fruit of the same poisonous tree. “What’s on your mind, precious?” Phoenix sits beside me on a cushion in front of the fireplace. “I was thinking about the families of the people the Agency stole. Your family. The rest of the guys. Do you ever think about trying to find them?” I
Phoenix’ POV“An incubus. As in incubus and succubus? The demons who... who...” Rose can’t finish the sentence, so I finish it for her.“Fuck humans whilst they sleep.” The words taste bitter on my tongue. Demon or not, rape is rape. That is what the legends say. They prey on innocent, sleeping, defenceless humans.“Trax has never acted on that instinct. I’m not even sure he has it. I have never felt or sensed any sexual urges from him, only curiosity, at least not until...” Amarragh jumps in to defend the demon, but his words run away with him.“Until he heard us?” Rose finishes for him.“I didn’t mean to spy. I heard you first and the way you sounded made me feel different, high, like my body was lighter. Then the scent hit me, sweet and salty, it was so thick and heavy in the air... it overwhelmed me. Before I knew what was happening I stepped over the protective boundary, cloaked myself, and my feet carried me right to you. I... I always wondered what my father found so appealing,
