Rideten, Present Time
Aislen grinned. “Is that right, Mr Wolf?” She purred stalking him over to the bed. “If I get it, I get to do whatever I like with it?”
Cameron’s lips curled in a smirk. “No. But I will do something you like with it.”
“Promises, promises,” she lunged for him, and he sidestepped so that she landed face-down on the mattress, before pinning her there with his body, his hands slowly drawing her hands up and holding them down to either side of her head whilst he nuzzled under the tangled sprawl of her wet curls to nibble along her shoulder and neck as her giggles gave way to soft moans as she closed her eyes and surrendered to his seduction.
He nudged her legs apart and her knees onto the edge of the mattress, lifting her hips from the mattress so that he could rub his cock against her cunt in a slow, hot tease whilst his teeth pricked little bloodspots along her neck, his tongue soothing away the little sting each time as it captured the droplets.
She could feel the slick of his pre-cum growing, lubricating his slide through her folds, or perhaps it was her own slick as she was ridiculously aroused. His hold on her wrists was just a little too tight for comfort but not tight enough to hurt – enough for her to register the strength of him, and what that did to make her heart race within her chest.
He was giving her what he wanted himself, she knew from his thoughts. That fine edge where control was taken away, but trust in his partner meant that there wasn’t fear, just a sense of relief, where pleasure or pain could be received and experienced with the freedom of having no responsibility. Escapism from the reality of their night.
As she let the helplessness of her position wash her into a state of pure sensation, she vowed that she would give it back to him, somehow, as soon as possible. He needed that mental break, his thoughts wandering to the playroom at the river house, to flashes of Talen’s face as their mate had made Cameron’s body his plaything, of Rhett, his dark-haired mate’s play rougher and less studied than Talen’s, or Heath, his sex-games mental and based on crossing comfort zones…
“Oh god,” she sobbed into the covers of the bed, turned on by Cameron’s erotic thoughts. “Fuck, you always do that to me.”
“What do I do?” He was surprised but amused, pleased because he knew her complaint was based in want.
“Your thoughts are always… so fucking sexy,” she admitted. “You picture it so clearly that it’s like it’s happening to me.”
“Is that so?” He was delighted and flicked through memories of so many erotic experiences, giving her flash after flash of moments. Some of them were surprisingly innocent, but how he’d felt at the time had not been. She saw herself as a teenager, her hair spread like dark ink in the river water, her top plastered to her skin showing the plain cotton bra that she wore beneath, and Rhett looking up from a sketch pad, the look in his eyes darkening and the curl of his lips lifting into a smirk, Heath standing before a mirror in waistcoat, crisp shirt, and suit pants, adjusting his tie, and Talen, looking down his long nose at someone who had displeased him, his eyes narrowed and the sunlight in his hair.
She saw Rhett, drunk, opening Cameron’s bedroom door and waking him from sleep, silhouetted against the hallway light as he caught hold of the frame and leaned in with a leer that Cameron knew would lead to all sorts of sexual torment. Heath, sweating from wielding a whip, close-up as he dragged Cameron’s head back by the hair and kissed him hard. Talen, surrounded by the green leaves of trees, over Cameron holding their cock’s together, his arm muscles straining the fabric of his shirt.
And herself, in the locker room of the MegaStore, laid back over the bench and her eyes meeting his, those first few, heady moments of the bond being free of the constriction of her wards for the first time…
“Fuck,” she clawed the covers as she came, her cunt clenching on its emptiness, and he laughed hoarsely, covering for the fact that his memories had almost brought him undone as much as they had done her.
“I want you,” she tried to roll, and he loosened his grip momentary to allow her to turn and face him before recapturing her wrists. She nipped her teeth onto his bottom lip without breaking skin, sucking it into her mouth before releasing it. “I want you in me Cam,” she was feeling wild and wicked. “But I want you to do that thing…” She sent to him the clear memory of Rhett in the hallway, his skin giving to fur, his cock pressing against her pelvis as he swelled so that he could not pull free, and then Heath, his eyes wild with his wolf as he knotted within her.
“I want you to do that,” she told Cameron breathlessly.
“Shit.” He wanted to. He wanted to do it, ached to do it, but was scared that he would hurt her, caught between beast and man.
“So?” She challenged him, arching up to steal kisses. “So, you lose control for a moment, and I hurt for a moment. It will be the good type of hurt, and I’m a hybrid, just like you. You’re not going to tear my cunt apart or cause me to miscarry, you’re just going to…” Swell until she was so full of him that her body was overwhelmed with the sensation so that her clit reached heaven, and so that she was stuffed with him…
She put those thoughts into his head.
“Not fair,” he complained his lips against hers and his breath tasting of his want. He wanted to knot in her like that, to thrust and feel the drag of flesh wedged tight beyond her pelvic bone, to know that he was deeper, fuller, and to feel her clench around him. In his mind, he remembered watching as Heath had taken Rhett in such a way, the empty-eyed pleasure of Rhett in the moment, that raw moment where his face had registered it as “too much” and then his body had submitted to it, proving that his mind’s caution had been too early.
“Shit Aislen,” wasn’t a protest, but a plea, and her eyes met his with a grin.
“Let go, Cam,” she said. “Let it go. Do what your body wants to do. I’m ready for it.”
His inhalation was ragged, and he dropped his forehead to hers, his wolf leaping to his eyes, and his expression shifting ever so slightly into predatory, so that her heart picked up rhythm sending a rush of blood through her body, throbbing through her cunt. He growled his groan, his eyes losing focus momentarily. Under her fingers, there was rise of fur along his limbs as he fought for balance between beast and man.
She felt the pressure within her grow, his thrusts slowing as her cunt gripped his cock tighter, his flesh filling her with the swelling of his knot, followed by a jolt and tug as it lodged behind her pelvis. His groan of pleasure was brutal and torn free as he gave to baser instinct and fucked into that hold, his thrust pressing her into the mattress, the pull dragging her hips up…
The bed shook and his claws pierced the mattress, dragging down, sending up puffs of broken fibre as he used the grip for traction, driving himself against her, losing himself in the beast within, and his expression washing into bliss. She experienced it with him, the slick grip of her around his cock, the tightness, the build-up of pressure as he neared orgasm crossing into a stinging pain that was glorious.
And she came, his name on her lips, and her head thrown back in ecstasy, the clutch of her around his cock causing him to cry out, a desperate cry, as his cum flooded from him.
Rideten, Present Time The water was all but cold, but Talen had bathed in worse – recently, in fact, during the troubles in Havermouth. He scrubbed himself with a washcloth, rubbing away the sticky blood. A rhythmic thudding started against the wall behind him, causing him to pause and grin. It sounded like Cameron was putting some force into it, he thought amused and absently reached down to cup his cock, already hard at the thought. He turned off the water, deciding to join them. As he briskly dried himself, his phone began to ring from where he had set it on the vanity. Fatima’s number flashed onto the screen. He raised his eyebrows and answered it. “Fatima.” “Talen,” she was breathless and her voice tense. “They did it. They actually did it. Jules is alive.” Talen almost dropped the phone in surprise. “He is?” “Yes. He’s not quite… He’s very disorientated, but Harry’s looking after him. But he’s alive.” Talen braced his palm against the cold stone of the vanity, relief floodi
Havermouth, Present Time Embroidering living human flesh was somewhat harder than Meguitte had anticipated, but the challenge was very absorbing. Midway through the first flower, she realized that she wanted the knots required every stitch to cluster at the center, so she snipped and undid what she had started, much to Bianca’s distress. Meguitte was tempted to stem the witch’s complaints by explaining that it was becoming obvious that the stitches were not causing enough pain to override the wards, and her choices had become doing greater, potentially maiming, harm, or being patient and hoping that a lot of small agony would eventually become enough. The second attempt turned out better, and by the time she had completed the third flower and created a stem to connect the three, she was quite proud of her efforts. The blood kept getting in the way of her design, however, and she paused a moment to suck her fingertips. “I do believe I understand Mercy’s aversion to magical blood,” s
Rideten, Present Time Aislen was jolted awake when Talen shot out of the bed to the door. She was nicely nuzzled into Heath and Talen had been a warm spot against her back, his sudden moving causing a draught that was quickly filled when Cameron rolled over and snuggled up. She could hear Talen’s voice through the open door, and the reply of other voices on the other side. Cameron’s hand cupped her breast and his cock nudged against her arse. He rocked his hips suggestively, still mostly asleep. Heath tensed. “Fuck.” “- leave in fifteen,” a woman spoke crisply and in a tone that said there would be no compromise. “Victor’s orders.” “No,” Aislen pressed her face into Heath’s ribs. “Nonononono.” “It’s retaliation,” he decided. “For last night.” “It’s mean,” she grumbled. “Cruel.” “No sex?” Cameron sat up. “That’s not fair.” “You had sex last night. Good sex too, from the holes you left in the covers,” Heath pointed out. “It was good sex,” Cameron was smug. He nudged Rhett. “Hey
Trayrock, A few days after the storm“I don’t think that you understand,” the woman was furious, tapping the toe of her high heel on the sidewalk in a rapid staccato. “I have a very important appointment in Rideten. It has taken six months to get this appointment and I get charged whether I attend or not.”“Tiff,” her husband murmured, his hand on her elbow and demeanour pleading. “It’s for public safety.”“They can’t keep us prisoner here,” Tiff shook her elbow free of his grip in order to prod her finger into the chest of the NES officer. “It’s been a week already and there’s still no power, no internet, and the phone connections are in and out in and out… I can’t even call my daughter in Havermouth, and it’s just a short drive from here! Not that I can drive to see her, because all the roads are blocked, either by your men or the flood, and I want to know what you’re doing about it!”Lyric adjusted her grip on the cardboard box of supplies she was carrying to her car. The local sho
Trayrock, A few days after the stormLyric took a shovel and the shotgun with her. Just in case.The storm had broken branches and blown in rubbish from the town to tangle around the tree trunks. In the morning she would have to come out and salvage wood, leaves, and paper for the fire. Although it was warmer at the mouth than further up the river, the winter still crept in with the dark. Lyric didn’t like the cold.She walked past the edge of the vegetable garden and through the sort-of orderly lines of the orchard (Arthur had gotten creative with the spacing, the effect of some of the plants growing in the greenhouse, she suspected) to where the water lapped against the grass, the calmness of the ripples belying the rush of the water deeper in.On a normal day, with a normal river, the water was misleading enough - the surface would often look calm and the waters inviting. However, there was a strong undercurrent that was challenging to a strong swimmer, and dangerous to everyone el
Trayrock, A few days after the storm“Okay,” Lyric panted as she and the man staggered to the front door, and he braced his hands against the frame. “Almost there. Just a little further.” She closed the door behind them, as they made it into the hallway.The blanket had slipped, draping down to reveal that his back was bleeding again and that he had a fantastic arse on him. She pulled the blanket back up hastily, keeping her eyes averted, and definitely not giving in to the urge to see if the front was as well proportioned.He was not steady on his feet, swaying from wall to wall drunkenly, and she desperately clutched the blanket to him, feeling skin against the palm of her hand. He stilled, breathing heavily from his efforts, and turned his head to look down at her, his eyes glowing and his nostrils flaring.“Sorry,” she removed her hand from his chest.He did not move, nor did he break eye contact.Her heart hammered against her ribs. For a moment, she was so certain that he would
Trayrock, A few days after the stormHe was really sick.If this was the water sickness, Lyric was grateful that she had escaped it. He sweated and tossed and turned, moaning his way through the night. She checked his temperature, but it was very difficult to tell if he was running one as she didn’t know whether Mermen were normally hot or cold. If he had been human, he would be feverish, however, and as he looked human, that worried her.If she gave him paracetamol or ibuprofen, would he react to it as a human would? Did she dare take the risk? If she didn’t, and he died for lack of something so simple and easily provided, would she be to blame for not administering it?She didn’t know, and the not knowing held her indecisive, until there reached a point during the night when she was just so exhausted and he seemed so ill, that she took the chance, and administered both to him.And then hoped.He seemed to find ease in the medications and slept somewhat naturally. She nodded off, wak
Trayrock, A few days after the stormLyric muted the alarms that triggered as the 4WD picked it’s way through the fields, finding the tracks worn into the grasses, pausing so one of the men could get out to open the gates. Their arrival was inevitable.She needed to keep them out of the cottage. The room of monitors would start questions that she didn’t want to answer, and she had a merman in her bathtub.“Fucking hell,” she opened the draw and took out the handgun within it, checking that it was loaded although she knew that it was, before putting the safety on and hooking it into the back of her jeans.She grabbed the shotgun by the front door as she stepped out onto the porch, setting it into the bushes near the steps where she could retrieve it if she needed but it wouldn’t be immediately in sight. She began to pick garbage blown in by the storm out of the garden, creating a pile weighted beneath a broken brick, trying to ignore her racing heart.The sound of the engine broke thro

Havermouth, Present Time Tears streamed down Harry‘s face as they rose to their feet. They ran their hands over the lush hide of the weredragon. It was precisely the colour of Jules’ hair. Harry draped their body over the dragon’s chest, pressing their ear to the hide, celebrating the steady beat and rise and fall of the ribs. Alive. Gloriously alive. And they could feel the tie of their mate bond twining them together. With their eyes closed, Jules was a glow within the darkness. “Oh Jules, Jules, Jules…” They wept the words, stroking and luxuriating in the living creature that surrounded them with its bulk. It did not matter in the slightest that this Jules was not as Jules had been before… Harry’s most fervent wish had been granted and they had their mate back. “I knew it,” they whispered pressing kisses into the fur as they moved along the length of the dragon towards its head. “I knew that you were not gone.” They stroked over the dragon’s snout and pressed a kiss between his n
Havermouth, Present TimeHarry did not know how long they had been tending to Jules in the small cold room. Time had lost any meaning as the room had no natural light. They fed when Fatima brought them blood, or one of the ancients descended the stairs in order to donate. And then they would patiently drip blood into Jules’ slack mouth, watching for a sign that he had swallowed, before unbandaging the ruin of Jules’ hand, examining the wound for signs of healing before coating it again with blood and carefully, tenderly re-wrapping it.Jules was not dead. They were certain of it. Although he did not breathe, did not swallow, and his heart did not beat, Harry was certain that they sensed a spark of life within him, that they would know if the body that they held was nothing but flesh.They had, after all, handled many dead bodies in their long, long life.And the hand wound... It looked better. They could not precisely say how it was so - it was still a mess of bone and meat, and the b
Rideten, Present Time“Oh gawd, so good,” Aislen moaned as she squeezed in between Rhett and Cameron. “I so need to get this blood off my skin. It’s beginning to itch. Tsk, look at you two,” she added taking the washcloth from Rhett’s hand and tugging him down so that she could scrub the blood from his face. “You even have some in your ears. How do you get blood in your ears?”“Beats me,” Rhett’s hands gripped her hips, and his thumbs stroked her skin suggestively. “I have some blood lower down,” he smoldered. “Cameron was just offering to lick it off for me when you came in and gave us a better idea.”“Oh?” Aislen knew precisely what they had in their dirty, dirty minds - basically the same plan with slight variations between the two men. But she wasn’t going to make it easy on them. “Come here,” she scrubbed at Cameron’s face with the cloth. “Good enough,” she decided and handed it to him. “Do me whilst I rinse my hair out.”“Do you, or do you?” Cameron teased as he and Rhett shifte
Rideten, Present TimeSamuel’s wing sails caught the air with a whoomp. The guard heard it, looking up in astonishment a moment before Samuel seized him. In the old days, Samuel thought ruefully as he carried the struggling man up into the air again, he would have just let the man go and let gravity take care of the rest. However stealth was required in the current situation and now that he had the man, he wasn’t entirely sure what to do with him, other than sate his thirst.It had to be something that wouldn’t be noticed immediately, Samuel concluded as he sank his teeth into the struggling guard’s neck. Whatever he did with him needed to have a visual impact, as the Emissary had been clear that part of the reason for the attack was psychological - to show the enemy that they weren’t even safe in their own headquarters.He saw a flash from the corner of his eye as Ember spread her wings, slowing her descent as she targeted another guard - but only slowing enough to prevent her from i
Rideten, Present Time“And here I thought you’d achieved the most outrageously jaw-dropping appearance the last time you walked into my bunker Mr Gale,” Victor observed dryly as he closed the meeting room door behind them. “Look at you,” he added gesturing at the three of them.Heath slid a look at each of his mates. Talen raised his eyebrows. Of them all, their vampire hybrid mate had escaped the massacre with only a few blood splatters in his beard. Seeing Heath’s look, he raised his hands to show that they were as bloody as Heath’s own, which made Heath feel better. He scratched at his jaw feeling blood flake away under his nail.“This is what war looks like,” Aislen replied snidely. “Something you might find unfamiliar from a bunker, Victor, but true nonetheless.”Victor shook his head as he crossed to a cupboard and pulled out a decanter. “Whiskey?” He offered them.“I will,” Talen said.“Not us,” Heath declined regretfully. Whiskey would have gone down well after the night in th
