4 = Scarlett

SCARLETT

It has been five years since the war against the S.D.E. and other than the vague report of Romeo being seen over the last few months life returned to as much of normal could be for us. I toss and turn as the flashes of the vision plays in front of me.

Hidden within and below the mountains,

Within a prison cell, a male with a whip and a sinister look in his eyes,

A girl hanging from her wrists, bloody and beaten.

The Shifter King's mate… She must be saved…

Death, destruction, bodies and blood everywhere.

It can't be avoided this time.

The War of the Kings is coming...

The vision then changes and becomes clearer as I walk the over the new battlefield, I fight and kill all that attack me there’s no saving them this time. I watch as the last vampire to attack me falls to the ground with her heart still in my hand. I then look around me and see Griffin, Mother, Father, Josephine and Zachary all doing the same...

Fighting for their lives.

The battlefield then moves and I am standing on the outer ring of the fight going on between Nathaniel and Vlad. I smile as I watch knowing that Nathaniel is unmatched in his fighting, his power and his strength. I see Phoenix and Julian circling the circle taking out any that try to enter the fight between the two Kings.

However, I'm surprised when I see someone lurking in the shadows. My eyes go wide as the figure steps out of the dark, as he walks past wrapping his arm around his chest before sinking his fangs into his neck.

His eyes lock with mine shining bright red as he drinks greedily before pulling back and sliding his claws across his throat...

Lorette, Ruth and I scream out in pain as the mate bond severs and I watch as Phoenix’s lifeless body drops to the ground at Romeo's feet.

I sit up screaming, my breathing coming in short rapid pants. I can't breathe, I struggle to take a breath even though I know that I am. I can’t... Not again… I can’t…

SMACK!

My head snaps to the side I don’t get to process what happened, what he just did before two hands cup my face making me finally look at the male now sitting on his knees in front of me. Had he been talking to me?

I look into his flickering red eyes, feel the sting in my cheek and then the tingles that spread from his hands over my cheeks down my neck and through the rest of my body. I finally hear his voice,

“Scarlett... Butterfly... Come on… Breathe, come back to me…”

”Phoenix?…”

I focus a little more before tears sting my eyes and I whisper,

“Soren…”

“My Butterfly.”

I pull out of his hands and go to get off the bed, Soren moved quickly wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me back up against him, making me straddle his thighs. I struggle against his hold and as my emotions win, I burst into tears as I hit the sides of my fists against his chest sobbing,  

“I can’t do it again…  I can’t… I can’t do it again…”

Soren slowly tightens his arms around me making it harder and harder for me to struggle and hit him. When I finally can’t hit him anymore, I drop my head to his shoulder as he whispers,

“You can’t do what, Butterfly?”

“Please, Soren… I can’t… I can’t watch you die again…”

“Oh, Butterfly…”

I feel as he hides his concern at the same time he floods me with his love, knowing that this is what I need from him at this moment. He moves his hand to my cheek, applying a little pressure to make me lift my head and lean my forehead to his as he looks into my eyes and whispers,

“I love you, my Butterfly, I am always with you…”

His eyes flash as Soren and Phoenix join as one, though Soren is still just that little more in control knowing that is what I need, as he presses his lips to mine. He then loosens his tight hold on me allowing me to slide my hands from being trapped between us to being wrapped around the back of his neck.

He then slides his hands up and down my back slowly moving to my sides and down to my hips where he gives them a quick hard squeeze. He deepens his kiss as he slides one hand up my back again and leans forward using the other to brace himself on the bed and make sure that he laid me down slowly.

Once I am lying on my back he breaks his kiss and whispers,

“I’m here...”

He then presses his lips to mine again before pulling back just a little and sliding his lips to my jaw where he lengthens his fangs and nips my skin while whispering,

“I’m with you…”

He skims his lips a little further along my jaw and down my neck where he nips my skin again whispering,

“I…”

He moves his lips a little and nips again whispering.

 “Love…”

He skims them a little lower before nipping as he whispers,

“You…”

When he makes it to the junction of my neck and shoulder and is kissing, sucking and nipping at his mark he whispers,

“Forever, My Butterfly…”

I let out a low moan as the pleasure he is causing floods my body washing away the last echo of the vision. I arch my back and feel him smile against my skin as he then trails his kisses down to my breasts. I can’t stop the growl that Ruth has vibrating through my chest as he wraps his mouth around my nipple and sucks hard.

After pulling another moan from me and another growl from Ruth, Soren moves his kisses over to my other breast where he does the same only this time he sinks his fangs in making Cara surface and hiss out in pleasure.

Cara extends her claws and digs them in as she runs them up his back, Soren hisses removing his fangs from my breast and looks up at me with a heated intent blazing within them making shivers run through me however he doesn’t scare me anymore.

Soren moves quickly sitting up on his knees, grabbing my hips and making me scream as he flips me over so that I am now lying on my stomach. As soon as I try to move, he leans over me and grabs both my wrists, pinning them above my head. He then whispers against my ear,

“You want to play… My Butterfly?”

I shake my head ‘no’ as the images of his lifeless body falling to the ground play over and over in my head. Knowing that I need the distraction Cara hisses at him and then at me taking just that little more control as Ruth whimpers in my head reacting to his harsh but playful tone, my body now Cara’s and reacts exactly how she wanted it to.

As Soren then moves lifting himself up and pulling my hands with him so that he can twist and then pin them against my lower back. Using his hold on my wrists he thrusts his hips forward hard, slamming his cock deep inside me.

I scream into the pillows as my body shakes and shudders clamping down around his cock. Even before my body has had a chance to calm Soren starts thrusting his hips in long hard deep strokes.

Soren knew by pinning my hands where he did against my lower back I couldn’t move, allowing him to take his time building both our pleasure to the edge and then pushing it even further. However, I knew that as soon as I had wanted him to he would have allowed me to move.

I let out a low moan as he increases his thrusts harder and faster knowing that I need to feel him, to feel this… Our connection to each other. I let out another pleasured filled moan and move my hips slightly making him groan and increase his thrust once more until he finally couldn’t fight it any more and lost control allowing both of us to fall over that edge.

I scream into the pillows while my body shakes, shudders, quakes and quivers and he once again slows his thrusts in time with the pulse of his release. Soren lets go of my wrists and moves pulling out and flipping me back over, he then grabs my wrists once more and pins them above my head.

Soren then skims his lips briefly over each of my breasts before moving up my neck to my lips. I let out a low moan, hiss and growl mix as he then slides his cock slowly back inside me whispering,

“I love you, my Butterfly and no matter what happens I will always love you.”

Soren then closes the gap between our lips pressing his hard to mine in an uncontrolled dominant kiss. With his dominant kiss and the continuous thrusting of his cock deep inside me everything else in my mind fades, everything other then the pleasure he is providing.
