"And I still don't care what it says. Unless they're just out there waiting to gobble me up, I'm going to freaking bed," I said for what felt like the tenth time. Ransom opened his mouth. I held up a hand, a frown pulling at the edges of my mouth. "If you suggest the Hold one more time, I'm going to shove you in there."He opened his mouth again."Without me," I said quickly.His mouth snapped closed with a click. I caught Scarlet's gaze. She rolled her eyes. So fucking true, girlfriend. So fucking true."Bed. Now. Any of my mates who want to join, there will be no sexy times. Sleeping is it. The end. The rest of you, good night. Pleasant dreams. I'll see you after I wake up. And I better not be woken up by any of you." I turned on my sock-covered heel and headed for the elevator. I couldn't handle their worry or expectation. The sliver of Scarlet's magic that I'd inherited made other people's emotions feel like weights around my neck while I was trying to just t
"I swear to Gaia if you keep hovering over me like mom used to, then I'm going to cock-shot you and lock you in the Hold," Xander said, his voice a hard whisper in my ear. We were hovering over Kord as he discussed the finer points of foreign language translation.I felt my shoulders relax at his hard tone. He was back. Fully. Completely. My belly unwound itself. I nodded, not looking at him. He bumped his shoulder into mine in response. "What the fuck happened in the warehouse today? How did it get decorated with body parts and blood?" he asked. The fucker! I just now relax and he brings it back up like he's discussing the fucking weather?He growled low next to me. "Our Cherrypie happened, bro," Taryk said. "I have no idea how she did it, but the bodies just ended up sliced and diced. She was either moving too fast or hidden under massive camouflage. The Wardens just ended up on the floor in different pieces.""I'm not convinced they were Wardens," Kord said befo
Two days later"Last chance, Alok. I won't be asking again. You can talk to me or to one of the women," I said. The blue-haired idiot strapped down to a chair scoffed. "I'll take one of the women." He leered at me, a sickening glint in his eye.Saint laughed. "Have a preference?""How about both?" I look at Saint. He was already looking at me. A different kind of glint in his eye. "Works for me if it works for you. Scarlet has been working with Kiema," he said over the implant network. I turned back to the asshole. "That works for us. But don't come begging and whining when they break you." We turned to leave the Hold, the door open. The two women this imbecile was mocking were waiting at the door. He laughed, the sound full of scorn and derision. "I break for no woman. Least of all two magical half-wits."Just outside the door, Kiema laughed. The sound low, husky, sexy. "Finally, a willing participant." She brushed past Saint and me as she tugged Scarlet in behind
"Harder, Taryk, please," I begged as I let Xander's dick fall from my mouth. Being stretched out between them was a delicious torture. Taryk slowed his pace but increased the force of his drives inside me. He slapped a hand to my upthrust ass. "Teasing us like that. I should make you wait until we're all done with you before you get to cum."My body clenched at the command in his voice, the threat that they would deny my orgasm had me zipping toward the finished line. Taryk grunted, "Ah, ah, ah, little minx. You liked that idea. I think we'll try it out."My core tightened even as I shook my head no. Xander chuckled as he tapped my cheek with his fingers. "Open up, Kaeru."I looked up at him, my confusion on my face. Running a hand down my cheek, he answered, "Means dear in one of the Earth languages. I asked Ten."My heart melting, I opened my mouth. I inhaled his cock, taking him straight to the back of my mouth as quickly as possible. Okay, I might have also want
"Wh-wha...how did you do that?" I asked Kiema as she did some kind of advanced sorcery on my balls. Her husky laugh pushed at the hardest part of me as she slid her lips and tongue over my dick, making my head fall back on my shoulders. She hummed her enjoyment of torturing me over my length. The sound of flesh smacking flesh had my eyes popping open and my head dropping to see what was going on.Saint and Ransom were taking turns sliding their cocks inside the tight haven of Kiema's cunt. Saint was alternatively spanking each ass cheek as they slid in and out of her. Her body curled and rocked, her chest heaving up and down. One of Ransom's hands disappeared under Kiema's body. The sudden appearance of her teeth next to my favorite appendage had my eyes widening in fear before she sheathed them again. "Careful, man. She's got sharp teeth," I said, a slight grimace on my face. "You have no idea, bro," Saint said. Licking his thumb, he gathered some saliva and traced ar
"Everyone meet up in Xander's office," Taryk said over the implant. I relayed the information to Kiema and Kord. They nodded. We all got off the bed and started looking for clothes. Watching Kiema's perfect body slowly be covered with clothing had me gritting my back teeth against the urge to throw her back down on the bed and ravish her. After the scene in the Hold between her and Scarlet, I was in some serious need of relief. Ransom groaned softly beside me. I turned to look at him. He had the same hungry look on his face that I probably sported on mine. Kord, the fucker, looked like he'd just gotten back from a fucking tropical vacation. "Guys, Scarlet's worried. Book it," Taryk said, breaking into my mental fantasies. Ransom told the other two the update. Kiema adjusted her hair, pulling it up into a messy knot on top of her head. One of my new sweatshirts draped over her like an oversized blanket, but seeing her in my clothes soothed the beast inside me. Te
"Kiema says to tell you there's something wrong with the Gateway. It's not as solid as it was before. Although she didn't really sound firm on the word solid.' I think she's trying to guess at what's wrong," I relayed to the rest of the group."What does it look like?" Kord asked. "Well, before it was totally and completely black. I have no idea how Kiema even knows where she's going, but the tunnel, for lack of a better word, looks like it's been hit by a porcupine. There are so many holes in the thing that it looks more like the night sky," I answered. "So there's light, but it doesn't illuminate anything," Kord clarified.I nodded my physical head. "Does it feel different to you, Xander?" Scarlet asked. "Like emotionally different?"I nodded again. "But Kiema and I think it feels...broken...somehow. Almost like it's sad or something.""Can you personally feel the difference in the magic?" Scarlet asked. "No. I'm filtering my feelings through my link with Kiema,"
"What are we dealing with?" I asked as soon as Kiema inhaled and shook herself. "Apparently, I've got another uncle. Po. Stupid name. Bit of a douche, but nothing like Aeron, so I think that's a win. The Gateway is full of holes. I think - and just think, mind you all - we might be able to get to Earth. Find out why someone put out a hit on Scarlet. We've still got some time before Hellion comes back to Azica to give me all the details I'm still missing. I say we go take care of that issue, then come back and be waiting for Hellion and his Statements of Doom," she said. Everyone just stood there and stared at her. Especially her mates. Kiema looked around, smiled at the shocked expressions. "Wonderful. I'm glad you're all in agreement. Remember, pack light."She turned to leave, heading straight for the elevators. Her head was hanging a little low, her shoulders inched towards her ears. If I wasn't mistaken, her eyes were glimmering with tears. Scarlet scooted around all
