Rose’s POV I don’t know when or how it happened, but somehow, I have ended up in Phoenix’ lap.His fingers trail lazily up and down my back as he strokes absentmindedly. It’s been less than a day since he brought me back here, and my head is a mess. I wish I could talk to Granny Gwynn about everything. Not last night, I’m putting that in a locked box in the back of my mind forever. I want to talk to her about how I’m questioning everything I’m feeling, everything I think I’m sensing from him. I thought I had chosen a movie, but it turns out this is a series, which I think I like more because there is so much more to watch. I like that the girl in it isn’t one of those whiney female leads. They really rub me up the wrong way, especially in my books.I sometimes wonder how I would react if I was my favourite character, I hope I wouldn’t embarrass myself, but deep down, I think I’d probably moan a little before getting over myself. “I’m surprised you like this kind of stuff.” I
Phoenix’ POV I smile against her mouth. She is shocked. Bless her. I’m shocked myself, I vowed I wouldn’t do this but my wolf coming forward enough to tell her she’s mine, and she didn’t seem to hate the idea, well I got a bit carried away.After a few moments, I feel her physically relax in my arms, and her lips go soft under mine. She feels better than I ever imagined, and I imagined this a lot. She is hesitant, but that’s to be expected. I know this is her first kiss, but I doubt she has even the slightest inkling that this is mine.My tongue darts along her bottom lip, tasting her, teasing her mouth open. My cock jumps at her little moan. When my tongue finds hers, I move my hand to cradle her head in case she gets any crazy ideas about pulling away from me. She doesn’t even try. Instead, her hand comes up to rest on my cheek and she slowly grinds her hot, wet pussy into my leg.‘Breathe through your nose, dipshit.’ My wolf laughs as I think to myself that I’m going to have t
Rose’s POV He called my pussy pretty. I never thought of it as something that could be pretty, but those words coming from him do things to me that I can’t explain. “I need to taste you.” His voice is raspy and he lifts me off his lap, placing me carefully in the seat next to him. The way he handles me, so gently, makes me smile. He is so big, so strong, and it seems like a complete contrast to his nature.It feels like it takes forever for him to put the footrest down and kneel in front of me. I was so close to coming on his lap, and honestly, I’m a little pissed he stopped.“Put your legs up here.” He instructs as he lifts my feet to rest on the backs of the seat in front of me. I’m spread wide, completely open, and on full display. You would think I would be at least a little bit shy, but the ball of tension low in my belly overrides that. I need a release, and I need it now.I feel his beard graze my thighs, then his fingers spreading my pussy, and finally his tongue is on m
Phoenix’ POV Her face is buried in the crook of my neck, just as mine is hers. Her scent is intoxicating. The urge to claim her properly, mark her, fuck her, come so deep inside her she will never question that she is mine, is so fucking strong.I nip her at shoulder, trying to temporarily sate the need to mark her. My mouth literally waters at the thought. Her nails dig into my scalp and my shoulder where she is holding onto me tightly as she rides out her orgasm on my hand. I wanted to watch, to see her face as I start laying my claim, but holding her like this, when she is vulnerable, it’s more than anything I’ve ever felt.Hearing her cry my name spells the end for me. My balls draw up, my cock swells, and my last ounce of self control evaporates. “Mine.” I growl into her neck as my canines graze her skin. I come so fucking hard I take total leave of my senses and almost mark her. The taste of her blood on my tongue snaps me out of it, and I flick it over the small puncture
Rose’s POV Phoenix is a virgin! At first I was sure he was joking, but the serious look on his face, and the tone of his voice when he told me he would never lie to me, made me realise that I might have struck a chord with my disbelief. You just don’t ever hear of forty-three year old virgins. Especially not ones who look like him. Oh shit, he’s forty-three. He’s older than my dad would have been. He doesn’t seem bothered by the age difference. I guess I’m not either, he is my Phoenix, I’ve known him half my life. Deep down I don’t think it would matter to me if he was twenty-three or sixty-three, but won’t his brothers give him a hard time, or anyone really.“What’s on your mind, baby? I can practically see the cogs turning.” His finger runs down between my breasts, leaving a smouldering trail in its wake. His touch is so distracting and I wait to see where he is headed. When he stops, dipping his finger in my navel, I get my thoughts together.“I was just thinking about what the
Phoenix’ POV So, that happened.It came spilling out and I couldn’t stop it. I didn’t tell her everything. Actually I told her pretty much nothing, apart from why I left her. I’m not ready for the wolf talk just yet. Perhaps if I was a run of the mill, garden variety werewolf, the conversation would be easier.I’m not in the right place, mentally, where I can talk about the facility. Even my brothers and I let that shit stay buried. How would I even begin explaining it to her? I need answers, sooner rather than later. I need to know what they did to me and my wolf, if it’s even safe for me to have Rose.‘She is ours.’ My wolf warns. ‘I won’t hurt our little flower. I need her just as much as you, more maybe.’ For the first time ever, I sense a softness in him.Rose has cried herself to sleep on my lap and I’m so relieved the crying has stopped I daren’t move and risk waking her.‘How can I trust you with her after what you did?’ I told myself I wasn’t going to bring it up, but I can’
Rose’s POV Opening my eyes, they feel scratchy from crying, but I feel so much better after letting out those emotions I’d been bottling up all week.“Hi, beautiful. Good nap?” Phoenix smiles down at me, giving me a gentle squeeze and a soft kiss on the corner of my mouth. I always knew he was softer than he looked, especially with me, but I never imagined he would be so tender. “I’m feeling much better. I think everything just came bubbling up and spilled over. Sorry I’m such a mess.” I whisper. “Now you listen to me.” He takes hold of my chin and turns my head so I’m looking right up at him. Something inside me flutters to life as his eyes burn right into me.“You are not a mess. You have been to hell and back this week, and I’m proud of you for coming out the other side. You are mine Rose. Always have been, always will be. Now that you have allowed me to have a little piece of you, I will not let you go. You consume me, Rose. Thoughts of you keep me up at night, watching over yo
Phoenix’ POV The look on her face is beyond priceless.“All of you. How the fuck did that happen? Am I in some kind of twilight zone?” she doesn’t even try to hide her shock but does slap her hand over her mouth, probably because Gwynn was very strict about the kind of language young ladies should and should not use. “Mind your language, Rose. You are far too beautiful for such vulgar language to be coming out of your mouth.” I scold her, meaning every word but delivering it as a compliment. I’m not about to make her feel like shit in front of my brothers.“Sorry. I’m just, surprised. How ...” she stalls. I never thought this conversation would happen, so I get why she is lost for words. “We just never found the kind of woman who could handle us.” Ryder smirks, but deep down we all have the same reason. The same loneliness. We all feel it but we don’t often talk about it. What’s the point?“We travelled too much until recently.” Jackson offers up another of the bullshit excuses we
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,
