Author’s Notes: As usual by now, this is proofread but not edited. Every character is over the age of 18 no matter their physical description. Just because they can’t reach the top shelf at the grocery store doesn’t mean they can’t buy alcohol. As always, comments and critiques on all my writing are welcome and sometimes I even reply to them.
SUCCUBUS RISING 11
I knew the moment another succubus was in the area, and way too close for my liking. We had been in the apartment for about a week and a half, the bed I’d ruined during the recall spell had been replaced, and it was pretty boring. So feeling a sudden urge to shove someone off the top of the parking garage was almost delightful if it hadn’t been so terrible.
I paced from the end of the loft to the door of the apartment. It took eight steps each direction and every time I got close to the door my hands itched to open it. Being in the house with my mother hadn’t been this bad. Bane and Chaz seemed oblivious to the other woman entering my territory. They were down in the kitchen when the first ribbon of her power came questing.
“Jezza!” Bane yelled from the kitchen. “Leave her alone.”
My power swatted the other away. “She started it.”
“She’s there until we go to the council, so get used to it. It’s not any better for her,” his voice faded and he as he and Chaz started talking about something.
Their voices quieted and Chaz came up the stairs to me, wrapping his arms around me from behind when I didn’t stop pacing. “We’re trying to work out a way for all of you to meet before going to the council, but throwing your power around isn’t going to make it easy. None of you were raised conventionally, and all of you are basically running on instinct right now. Control it. Be better than them right now.”
He pulled me toward the stairs and let me go to walk down on my own. I pulled my power into myself, only leaving the bonds fully open. The urge to commit bodily harm on someone I had never met dissipated and I started to relax. That is, until the power began to rise in the apartment next to us. She was blatantly throwing herself around, rubbing it in that she had four… no, five, mate-bonds.
“You’re the only one with two mates, Jezza,” Bane said quietly from the table. “All the others have more. It means you stabilized a lot faster than they did.”
“How does she keep up with five men all the time?” I laid down on the sofa, shifting every few minutes and unable to get comfortable as I did the succubus equivalent of voyeurism.
“Some men are more comfortable touching each other than me and Bane,” Chaz muttered. Well, that explained a lot.
As I tossed around on the couch I thought it was a small blessing that we couldn’t hear them through the walls. The questing tendrils of a third succubus made me groan and get up and pace again, but she was farther away and pulled back on her own after a couple moments. It was almost timid in its delicate touch and retreat. There was no rise from her, no impression that she had to show off her stuff. The power next door crested and fell a little faster than I thought it should have. When one of the men chuckled, I realized they were probably catching my cattiness.
Then there was another power, not timid but not blatant either. She had four mates, and that took a lot longer than my new neighbor. I could feel her power trying to pull me in with them, tempting me. We could take the entire city block on the ride of their lives. I stood at the windows and looked out over the city as she beckoned to me. Between us it would be so easy. I could almost taste her men as she took them, spinning them higher and higher until they exploded. But nobody on the street below us noticed. Life went on without ever knowing what could have taken them.
“It’s the wards,” Bane was right behind me, but not touching. My whole body was tight with a need for release, growing worse with every climax she took from her men. That’s what she was doing, taking them and the orgasmic energy. The new neighbor was back with her mates again, and the timid one was with hers now, too. She had brought them all to her party, and if either of them touched me we would be joining them.
“I need to get out of here,” I whispered. I saw him reach out in the reflection of the window and stepped away, holding up a hand. “If you touch me right now, we will join them. I won’t have the two of you feeding her.”
“That’s not…” Bane started, but I interrupted.
“It’s what she’s doing,” I closed my eyes and huddled against the window. I wasn’t cornered, I could get away, but it was all I could do to keep my hands off him. “She’s bringing them both in with her, taking the energy that should be theirs as her own. You are not hers.”
“Back off, Bane,” Chaz said from his spot at the table. “Don’t add to the temptation, and feel what they’re doing. What it’s doing to the bonds.”
I hadn’t even realized the bonds were stretching between us. Pulling them to me. That got me moving to one of the bedrooms where nothing else had. “Stay out here, please. Or use the other rooms.”
The feeling of nine, no, twelve – the timid one must only have three mates – mate-bonds swelling toward a massive release was almost anticlimactic when I thought about the things I had done with my own mates. Still, I paced the bedroom and panted, running my fingers through my hair until it was a tangled mess down my back, and I followed her as she reached for the enormous amount of power she had built over us all. Then I took it away from her and pushed it higher. My neighbor broke first, all of them climaxing as the power ramped up. Then the newest one broke, her four mates exploding and taking her with them as she couldn’t reach the level I could. The timid one, though, she held on.
I could feel her as though it were my own bedroom. She was riding two of them, sucking the third. She held their orgasms off with a thought and we pushed the power ever higher until one of her mates begged for release. Then, she let me take all of it as they all came together.
The power was unreal. I imagined it was a huge bomb held over top of the building, hovering just under the wards. With a thought and a twist of my own power, I eased it through the spells protecting the buildings but I knew I couldn’t release it here. The council would be on us before the others even cleaned up. So I moved it until it was over the tower, and then I detonated it. The entire city was about to be hit by a wave of pleasure they’d never felt before. When the bomb went off with no sound, no flash of light that could be seen, I collapsed onto the floor.
Chaz found me a few minutes later, when the power they could feel in the building had finally dissipated. He was careful when he knelt beside me, but I just smiled at him. “The news is going to be incredibly interesting tonight.”
He barked out a laugh and helped me sit up when I reached for him. “We’re yours, huh?” I must have looked confused because he continued, “You were yelling that for about the last five minutes before you did whatever that was.”
“Yes, you are mine,” I nodded. “I took the power away from her. It was like playing keep away from someone smaller than myself. She couldn’t reach it once I had it and raised it higher. She couldn’t control her men’s orgasms to build it higher. Our neighbor, too, couldn’t hold her men back. The other one, though,” I sighed when I remembered what my power had shown me. “She only let go when her men asked for their release, then she handed me the power and fell away. If our power ceilings needed any gauge, I’d say the two show-offs aren’t as strong as me and the other one.”
“Who’s the strongest?”
“I don’t know,” I shrugged and picked at the carpet. “I don’t even know if this was a good way to tell.”
“Ah, guys?” Bane called from the living room. “She caused an orgy at the tower. They’re having to do the coverage from a block away because the first news crews that got there fell to the power.”
“I didn’t do all of it. I just released it somewhere I hoped was far enough from here to not get us caught.”
Chaz pulled me up off the floor and we walked into the living room. “There was some sort of city political party going on in the restaurant tonight, invitation only.” Bane was staring at the TV on the wall. “A few of them have come out now, fast finishers I guess, and none of them seem completely unhappy yet. That will probably change as they get out of range and start remembering things.”
There was a soft chiming noise ringing through the apartment and we all looked around. One of the servants that somehow stayed out of sight walked across the upper loft to the door to answer it, then returned to the stairs and started down.
“Madam Hannah has requested a meeting with you and your mates, ma’am,” he spoke directly to me, and I glanced at Bane, who shrugged.
“Ah, which one is Hannah?” I asked.
“I believe she arrived with three mates, ma’am,” he seemed bored.
I stumbled over my words and Chaz answered, “We would be happy to meet her in an hour. Will she be coming here?”
“She requested that you come to her. Her apartment is directly across the garage from here. Unit number 4, but if you need assistance to get there just let me know and I will be happy to escort your party.” He turned and went back up the stairs only after I nodded to him.
“Showers,” I said, then looked at Bane and smiled. “Cold showers. I’m wearing jeans and a t-shirt since I don’t see any reason to dress up, not after what I felt her doing.”
“Actually,” Chaz pulled me behind him back to the bedroom I had retreated to after Bane went off to a different shower. “I had Ferrel pick up a few things for you if you want to see.”
“You’ve had them in here for days and you’re only now showing me?” I had been bored out of my mind for at least two days. Even a stupid fashion show would have at least been a little fun.
“I didn’t think you would be that interested,” I think he blushed. He went across to the closet and pulled out three garment bags and tossed them onto the bed. I opened them, not waiting for permission. Over the last few weeks we’d all grown fairly comfortable together.
The first bag had a sparkling evening gown and I handed it back to him. I could ogle it later. The next two bags had jeans and shirts, and cotton jersey dresses that were a sight better looking than my long tank tops. I pulled an emerald green dress out of the last bag and held it up to myself. It would fall about halfway down my thighs and would be comfy, but not as informal as jeans and a t-shirt. He cleared his throat and held out a shoe box with some strappy brown flat sandals that would go with the dress.
“Thank you,” I whispered, holding the clothes.
“Ferrel did all the actual work,” he muttered and shrugged before hanging the bags back in the closet and walking to the bathroom.
“But you thought to tell him I might need better clothes than what I already had,” I followed him into the bath and set everything on the vanity while he got the shower going.
I stripped and stepped under the spray before he could beat me to it, laughing when he growled at me. He wrapped his arms around my waist as I wet my hair. “We only have an hour,” I said, smacking him away so I could get the shampoo.
“I know,” he immediately stole the shower head when I moved away. I got my hair lathered and waited for him to rinse off and move again.
When I put my head under the spray, arching to make sure I got all the soap, he slid a washcloth over me. It had gotten to be an incredibly intimate routine for one of them to wash me, but they never let me wash them like this. Chaz also enjoyed playing with my hair any chance he got, but in the interests of time I just slathered in some conditioner and rinsed it out again. He kissed me lightly when he was done and then nudged me to get out of the shower and grab towels.
I bent and rubbed the towel through my hair, watching him dry himself at a weird angle, but letting my own body dry in the air. We didn’t have a blow dryer here, so I had to do the best I could with the towel. When I could stand and my hair didn’t drip down my back, I was mostly dry anyway. Chaz started combing my hair, but when I tried to move to grab the thong he had set out for the dress, he grabbed my hair and held me still.
“You can play with my hair later. I need to get dressed.”
“Move less, then,” I groaned and reached for the thong. Getting it on without moving too much felt like I was trying to twist myself into a pretzel, but I managed. He finished my hair and then I pulled the dress over my head.
It was just a plain jersey knit dress, and was comfy as hell. There hadn’t been a bra, but the top of the dress was a wrap of some sort that tied behind my back, and I managed to tie it tight enough to add a little support. My hair looked nearly black against the deep green of the dress. The sandals would probably rub blisters after a while, but I could heal that now.
Bane walked in and I snickered. He and Chaz were dressed exactly alike in black slacks and a white button down. They both glared at me and then each other. “Please tell me y’all have matching sunglasses to go with it?” Chaz grumbled and started undoing the buttons he’d gotten done and pulled a gray shirt from his closet instead. “You should have left it. You two would have been adorable. I bet they’re wearing jeans and eating pizza, and you two are making me get all dressed up for nothing.”
I walked out of the room after Bane and we headed upstairs and out into the garage. The wind was howling through the levels, with very few cars up this high to block it. I grabbed a handful of my skirt to keep it from flying up around me as we walked. Directly across the admittedly expansive garage was a door exactly like ours with a fancy number four fastened to it. Bane pushed the little button next to the frame and a door to our right that fit almost seamlessly into the wall opened and a servant stepped out and then turned back to speak to someone in the room.
“Madam, sirs,” he said. “They aren’t yet ready to meet you, but it will be only a few more minutes.”
“We did say an hour,” Chaz said, glancing at his watch and I elbowed him. The servant ignored him and returned to the room.
“Anybody else notice how the servants all address me, or acknowledge me first before you guys?” I asked, not really expecting an answer.
“Don’t let the deference go to your head,” Chaz leaned in and spoke in my ear, and I elbowed him again.
The door opened before we could say anything else and a servant waved us into a loft area identical to our own. A tiny woman stood there with three men behind her. She was also wearing a dress, but she looked comfortable in her bare feet. The men were wearing jeans and various styles and cuts of shirts. I could almost smell the pizza.
She smiled when we came in, but none of them made a move to physically greet us. My power was trying to claw its way out of me, and I saw her smile tighten as though she was fighting something similar.
“Ah, hi,” I clasped my hands in front of me and tried not to be any more awkward than that.
“Hi,” thank God her voice was normal and not some cute little girl voice. I’d have died. “Come on in. Sorry you had to wait so long after we invited you.” She seemed genuinely embarrassed that we had had to wait, and motioned for her mates to go downstairs. I nodded for Bane and Chaz to follow. “I understand it’s going to be a little uncomfortable for both of us,” she said as she followed the men down the stairs. “I, ah, felt the recall spell. I don’t know whether to give my condolences or congratulations.”
“I thought we were the first ones brought here,” I said. There was a fucking pizza on the counter. I wanted to go back and change into jeans, damn it.
“Second,” she sat on one of the barstools set around the counter and pushed the pizza out in invitation. “I didn’t know you were here until that spell triggered, though. Not like feeling the two today, and I thankfully haven’t felt you before or since that little ego trip. Beautiful job taking the power from her. I’m not even sure I could have pushed it through the wards.”
I blushed, “I was flying by the seat of my pants on that. All I could think was I didn’t want her to have it.”
“And yet, you didn’t join in with it,” she said. “I mean, I was already…” This time, she was the one who blushed.
“If it felt like anything I got through the,” I waved my hand back and forth. “Waves? I wouldn’t have stopped either.”
We looked over at the men, who had taken the pizza for themselves and were trying to ignore us. I hadn’t told Bane or Chaz what I had felt at that moment, how two of these men had fit inside her, though a small shudder made me sit up straighter.
“Do you think we’re stronger than the others?” Her voice was quiet now and I turned back to find her looking at the counter. “I know the one had already been preening, showing off. But we both took the power from the second so easily. She had no hope of being able to take it back from us, and I had no desire to take it back from you after, you know.”
“I honestly don’t know,” I said, just as quietly.
She nodded and then looked where the men were seated around the table. “Kai?” A blond man looked up at her. “Why don’t y’all go outside and talk about cars or sports or business or something else equally boring, please? Leave us girls to talk shop?” She sighed when he nodded but looked at the pizza. “You can take the pizza with you.”
Both Chaz and Bane looked at me, but went upstairs to the garage when I nodded. After the door shut, Hannah slumped and groaned. “Thank God. Let’s get more comfortable. Those sandals have got to be rubbing you raw.”
She slid off the barstool and then flopped onto one of the overstuffed chairs in front of the windows, her dress going between her thighs like shorts. I took the sandals off and curled into the other chair.
“Kai, he’s the one who bought me,” she said. “But from what they knew about you, it wasn’t anything like what you’ve gone through. You were raised like a human, right?”
“Yeah,” I looked out over the city. “Actually raised here. I knew of the demons because who doesn’t, but I had no idea what my mom was. What I am.”
“That had to be terrifying,” she sighed. “And Bane didn’t know about you? He’s supposed to be one of the best for training us.”
“I think he ignored it because of Chaz, or something. Some stupid male ego thing. Chaz acted like a douche, so Bane returned the favor, never letting Chaz get past his secretary. Larian was the one that got Bane involved.”
“You’ve been with Larian?” She looked at me then. “I’ve heard he’s hung. Sorry, I just don’t have many people to just talk to about this.”
“Ah,” I wasn’t really sure how to answer that. “He seems self-conscious about that, actually.”
“Oh. Oh!” She sat up. “You’ve never talked about this to someone else have you?”
“I haven’t really had the opportunity, so no,” I said.
“I’m so sorry. This must be awkward for you,” she slouched back in her chair.
“This has been a learning curve for me, is all,” I assured her. “I’m pretty sure we got past awkward when I felt what you did with your mates. I have to say, your control and, ah, capacity was impressive.”
She waved that off, “That just takes practice, and our nature helps a lot. We’re supposed to be more stable with more mates, so by that the others should be extremely stable. But they felt… sloppy, I guess. And you with only two should also be completely out of your mind.”
“I took a mate-bond with Chaz on purpose. I think that might count.”
“But you didn’t bond with Asher, so I think you’re safe.”
I groaned, “You all knew about Asher?”
“I have no idea what he did to you, just know that any time he came up Kai was adamant I would never go to him. Do you want to talk about it?”
“Not really, no. What was it like, growing up knowing what you were, what you would become?” I stretched out and looked up at the ceiling, and she lounged with her legs across one arm of the chair.
“Kai was my first, before he bought me. First everything, if you catch my drift. When my price went up, he met it immediately. No haggling, bidding, nothing. March and Toph were part of my training when Kai couldn’t get hold of Bane, either. When we got along they stuck around and became my mates after a while.”
“The council found my mom while I was in class. I made it home in time to see them drag her off and put her in a car and then another guy with a really goofy voice knocked me out and brought me to an auction. I remember the voice, and I remember him punching me. Can’t for the life me remember any of their names, though. Chaz won the auction, and started sending to me Asher within the first few days. Bane was my first mate, Chaz is relatively new to it.”
“I don’t think the other two are owned at all,” she said. “They’re from farther north and things are a little different there. If I’m not mistaken, they would have come into their powers surrounded by men, taking as many as their power could hold as mates. I’m not saying what you went through was in any way a good thing, but you and I had more control over who we chose. At least, it felt like I could choose, ya know?”
“Yeah, it felt like a choice with Bane. I mean, I had been living with him for months and he hadn’t done anything really sexual with me and I might have been more than a little horny by then, but I wanted him. It was different with Chaz, though.”
“How so?”
“I asked him. I’m not sure what would have happened if he hadn’t said yes to it, but I gave him the choice.”
“But you still chose him first,” she pointed out. “You gave him the same choice, sure. But you still chose to ask him.”
“I need him and the things he can do,” I almost whispered.
“Good with his tongue, huh?” She sat up a little and quirked an eyebrow, and I heard the men coming back inside. I hadn’t heard the door opening, but maybe she had. Or she was more connected than I was or something.
“I actually wouldn’t know,” I looked up at him as he came down the stairs and his eyes widened. “He hasn’t done that yet.”
There were masculine groans as we stood and I walked to grab my sandals and slip them back on. She stepped a little closer to me, but didn’t try to touch me and I was grateful for that. “We’ll have to do this again sometime. Compare notes again.” She looked at the men again and I smiled, biting back a laugh.
“You’ll have to tell me how you did that thing,” the men looked confused, and we both laughed.
“Jezza, I’d hug you but I can barely stand being in the same room with you. This has been fun.”
“Likewise, Hannah,” and I walked up the stairs with Chaz and Bane behind me.
We were halfway across the garage before they broke. “What thing?”
I looked at them both and giggled, “I’m not sure you want to know.” I made a circle with the pointer and thumb on one hand and slid two fingers in from the other, and they both stopped walking.
“We were only gone for like ten minutes!” The look on Chaz’s face had me laughing so loud I snorted a little and covered my mouth as we got to our door. A servant was already there waiting to let us in, seeing as we didn’t have any kind of key.
“What did you really expect us to talk about? Makeup? Clothes?” In the hush of the apartment, I reached down and took the sandals off before padding barefoot down the stairs to leave them in one of the bedrooms.
Bane wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me down onto the couch with him, shuffling around until he reached up and undid the knot at the back of the dress so it didn’t poke him. “What did you actually talk about?”
“She doesn’t think the other two are as strong as she and I. She told me a little about how she was raised and bought knowing what she was, having more control over everything the entire time,” he moved again so I was stretched between his legs and Chaz could sit with us with my legs over his lap. “She said she thinks the others are from up north and were never bought, just put into a place with a whole bunch of men and told to take as many as their power would allow. I told her how I was taken to the auction, then sent to Asher, then to you. She said the mate-bond felt like she had a choice each time, and I agreed.” I looked at Chaz then, but he was staring at my legs. I nudged him with my foot, “I told her it felt as though I needed you, and what you could give me. Can still give me.” I looked up and back a bit to see Bane, “And that I was really fucking horny with you. She said Kai brought March and Topher in when they couldn’t reach you.”
“That’s basically how they told it, too, minus the choosing part,” Bane’s voice vibrated through my shoulders and I shivered. “Chaz didn’t say anything about a choice.”
“She asked me, when the runes lit up,” his voice was quiet. “I just didn’t feel like sharing that with them.”
“What else did y’all talk about after kicking us out?”
I answered Bane’s question, but I moved to switch positions and put my head in Chaz’s lap. Bane shifted so my feet weren’t in his face, and I closed my eyes as Chaz started playing with my hair. “That ego play thing the other one did, taking all the power and trying to keep it for herself. I felt her pull the other one in, the one with five mates. I felt when she took the energy from their orgasms and fed it into her own men, compounding what they were able to give her. And then I felt Hannah with me and we took that power away from her. She clawed for it, but we held it out of reach. When we were alone is when I felt what Hannah was doing,” I circled a finger in the air and then went on. “I felt her utter control over all of it, and I felt her let go of the power. I could have taken it for myself. I could have let it go inside the wards and we’d have fallen on each other. I briefly considered letting it go directly over the building.”
They both tensed at that, but I waved them off. “For a moment, I wanted to know what would happen to the people I could see down in the street. Then I thought about the council and thought they would be able to find us if I did that,” Chaz nodded above me. “So I moved it over to the tower. I wasn’t thinking by that point of what would happen to anyone caught in it once I let it go. It was all sex. Energy from eleven people, multiplied exponentially, in a bubble I could only see in my mind and that may just be imagination. I let it pop and then I was just here, collapsing in the room. I, ah, left this last part out when I was talking to Hannah.”
“Gods, that’s a lot of mates,” Bane muttered. “If they do that again, eat it or split it between you and Hannah. I think most of downtown looks like an ancient Bacchanal still, and it’s been several hours.”
“Did she mention anything about the princes?” Chaz asked, still running his fingers through my hair and sending chills through me.
“No, but the journals named them,” they both stiffened. “Three princes, and one king. Orobas, Stolas, Sitri, and Bael.”
“Did they say who your sire was?” Chaz was almost whispering, but I heard him and shook my head.
“You know Turq’s thoughts.”
“I don’t,” Bane interrupted me.
“He thinks Orobas is my sire because he lives relatively close, and Sitri couldn’t get through the wards when the mate-bond locked them down while I was out there. I don’t know anything about the princes or anything, so I can’t even take a guess.”
“I don’t think that’s right,” Bane said. “He’s not even the most powerful of the princes on this continent. Sitri couldn’t get through the natural wards that went up when you took Chaz, which speaks to a power ceiling higher than his own and he is the strongest prince on this continent. But you weren’t pulled into the power at all earlier. Yes, you took it from her because she wanted it all to herself, but she couldn’t keep it from you. Hannah kept her own power to herself, but couldn’t hold the rest away from you. You were able to push it through a ward made by Bael, and I don’t think any of the others could have done that.”
“Hannah told me they were already going when that whole thing started.”
“That’s not what Kai told us,” this from Chaz. “She felt the first round, same as you, and had pretty much the same reaction to the five mates. But when the second one started, she pulled them all in. That wasn’t the first time they’ve all been with her at once, but they said it was the first time they all came at the same time like that. The moment she let go of the main line you held, they went off.”
“So y’all talked about what they were doing, then?” I looked between both of them.
“You were pretty descriptive about it in the garage,” Bane said. “And before you ask, no.”
Chaz pulled my hair just enough to get me to look up at him and slid his eyes sideways. I had no idea what it meant, but I sat up so he could move, and kept going until I was straddling Bane. “Not even if I asked really nicely?” I wiggled and unwrapped the top of the dress all the way, bunching the skirt around my waist. “I think it might work this way.”
He groaned, but I heard a light chuckle from Chaz as he shut a door to one of the rooms, giving us a little privacy. “I think,” he pulled me down for a kiss and pulled the thong aside while I worked on his pants. “No, wait. I don’t think I want another man’s dick touching mine inside you.”
I moaned when I got him free and could stroke him, “Even if I said pretty please?” The head of his cock was slick against my palm as I slid my hand slowly over him before moving and guiding him into me. Without any foreplay, it took a little extra effort to get him all the way in but when I did I locked eyes with him. “Even when I do this?”
I squeezed around him rhythmically and he moaned, pulling my hips tight against him and letting his head fall back to the couch. I kept just clenching my muscles and letting them relax around him as I unbuttoned his shirt, but stopped completely when I felt the little energy thief trying to take what was mine. Bane noticed my tension and turned my eyes back to him when he looked up and saw me staring at the third floor door.
“What is it?”
“That bitch is trying to take this away from me,” I panted and bent down to kiss along his neck. “She can watch, she can feel it all, and she can have none of it. You are mine.” His eyes started to glow as I opened my power to the little thief. When she realized she had been found out and tried to get away, I held her there. She wanted to watch, I would make her watch every last thing.
Bane’s hands slid up my back to my shoulders as I started to ride him, grinding him deeper into me. His mouth found my breasts and my head fell back as he worked my nipples into fiery points, sending shocks through my body. I made sure she felt it, but she could not feed on it. This was mine. I pulled his power into me and then looped it back, pulsing it in time with our hips, building and building until my eyes rolled back in my head and still it built.
His mouth was on my breast when he came, his moans muffled by my flesh but vibrating straight through me as I milked him. I fed from every contact – his cock inside me, his mouth on me, his arms wrapped around my back holding me to him. His energy flowed freely into me because he was mine. When the power flowed back into us, I let her go with a mental smack.
“How about now?” I wiggled against him and he laughed, pulling me down to kiss me.
“She’ll try again,” he said as he kissed his way down my neck to nibble across my shoulder. “That might have been more inspiring than scary.”
I could hear the faint hiss of the shower from the room Chaz had gone into and I smiled. “Let her try again, and I might actually let her taste Chaz.”
“That’s,” he blinked up at me, his eyes returning to normal as we talked and he slid out of me. “Yeah, that might scare her into stopping.”
I stood from the couch and pulled the dress the rest of the way off along with the thong and left them in a pile near the door. Steam was billowing from under the bathroom door and I wondered if anybody would tell us anything about the water bill or the electric bill to heat it, and then dismissed the thought all the same.
Chaz was standing somewhere in the shower, blurred by the steam. He reached out to adjust the water before I could get in with him, and I slid my arms around his waist to hug him from behind. “We might have a visitor with us this time.”
“There is no way you convinced him to try double,” but he was laughing. Then he added, “I felt it. What happened?”
“The one who tried to take everything for herself? I held her down and made her watch me with Bane, and I didn’t let her get a taste. Bane doesn’t think he was scary enough.” I pulled my hands back and traced the runes along his sides, the ones that spelled out pain in so many different ways and the healing that had to go along with it. I very carefully avoided the solely pleasure runes, touching only those that mixed it with something else.
“Am I so frightening?”
“You can be.” When I reached back around, he was still soft. In the time since he had agreed to be my mate, I had come to like this about him, which surprised the shit out of him. But it meant I could touch him, enjoy a part of him in a state not meant for anything. When I wasn’t playing on his runes, and wasn’t running power through him, he was just… male. His balls were hanging a little looser from the heat of the shower. The skin over his dick was luscious to play with when there was no steel behind it. He wouldn’t let me go down on him unless he was hard, but he would let me touch him.
He turned and grabbed my hands, bringing them to his lips to kiss the palms before setting them on his shoulders. With his hands on my hips he turned us so I was under the spray and I squealed. “I already had a shower!”
“So,” he kissed me and I forgot I didn’t want to be wet. “No power yet, please.” I nodded and he pulled me back to him. His tongue played with mine and not for the first time I wondered what I would feel like lower and hotter. He kissed me until we were both gasping, my breasts sliding along his chest. Then he pulled me away from the spray and turned the heat up again, keeping it warm even if we weren’t under the water. He pushed me to the wall away from the spray and turned me away from him.
The first touch of his power was light, making me whimper for more as he pulled my wrists above my head and held them there with one hand. He was heating up, becoming more noticeable apart from the moist heat of the shower. His hand sliding down my stomach to my pussy made me moan when his fingers found me. The heat inside me was exquisite, and he moved his fingers expertly. Curling them just past my pubic bone, moving hard and fast until my chest heaved to catch a breath. I stood on my toes and arched my back, pleading for just a little more. A little harder, a little faster. The orgasm crashed over me and he pressed me into the cold tile but his fingers never let up until I was just a quivering mass on the wall in front of him.
When he finally pulled his fingers from me, he stroked them over my clit and when I didn’t react much I could feel him smile against my shoulder. He was still holding me against the wall so I didn’t fall, but he released my arms and moved his hands to my hips and his thighs shoved mine apart. He was hard and heavy against my ass now, and he slowly pulled back. His cock slid between my cheeks and his power built, wanting in me in every way now.
I pulled his power into me, widening it until I felt like I was going to burst and then looping it back to him. Almost immediately I could feel her, still trying to take this away from me, and I let her feel my delight and the realization that she was no better than the man who had captured and then sold me. And then Chaz was pushing into me, his power burning and bruising at my hips, and I screamed. I could feel her disgust and then her terror at the pain and I pulled that into me. She tried madly to get away as Chaz continued to fuck me and tear at me with his devastating power, but I held onto her. If she was going to be rude and try to steal what was clearly mine, she could stay for this.
His hands moved to my breasts and I screamed my curses, almost losing her but managing to hold on. I could feel her mates there with her, but I kept them out. Only one man was here this time, and he was mine. I realized I was saying the word MINE over and over as Chaz drove into me. The shower was being painted with my blood, though he didn’t actually draw that much. When he was close, and I could feel his rhythm breaking down, I let her fall back away from me. She didn’t deserve to see the good stuff.
With a thrust that crushed me against the wall, Chaz came, healing everything he had just done to me and pushing me over the edge into my own climax. His hands found mine on the tile and I pulled his arms around me as we stayed locked together, trembling, until we were sure we wouldn’t fall if we stepped back into the shower spray. Admittedly, my knees were incredibly shaky when he moved just enough to slide out of me and reach over to adjust the faucet so I wouldn’t be scalded. Under the spray again he held me and gently washed the little bit of blood that was left off me, and he didn’t ignore my hair either although two showers in one day was a bit much for it.
He even dried me off this time, almost reverent as he moved the towel over me and then walked me back to the bedroom. When I went to lay on one side, he nudged me until I was on my stomach in the very middle, and then he straddled my hips and I heard him rubbing his hands together before the massage started. By the time Bane came into the room and climbed into the bed, I thought I could just stay there forever if it meant I got to be this relaxed. I curled up against Bane’s chest with Chaz wrapped around my back and slept.
