Pretty in Orange

by J B Trepagnier

  “That Fae guardian got information you didn’t. He found Warden Skinner’s apartment. She doesn’t live in the prison. He found out how my father is funding this big experiment. He’s been stealing billions of dollars meant for upgrades to Scorchwood, and Warden Skinner has been cooking the books to make it seem like everything was done. No one ever asked for photos or came down the check on progress. That was the only reason it got this far. My grandfather has my father as his ambassador on Earth, and the Fae are the majority stockholders in Scorchwood.”

  “Yes, well, Hell wasn’t consulted when they were recruiting board members, and the Fae king needs to learn to control his son. Is there anything on that phone?”

  “The elemental women are all being kept in houses in Seattle. The men with them are guards from the prison. Rathmore tested them and decided they were suitable candidates. They agreed to manipulate those women and get them pregnant in exchange for their freedom. They wouldn’t have to be guards at Scorchwood anymore.”

  “Warden Skinner is skimming the payroll fund too,” Serafina said. “Since the guards are there because she’s blackmailed them, she pays them pennies and funnels the rest to Eiltan. Any place she can steal money, she can. We were supposed to be eating much better, and we were supposed to have a rec yard. There was supposed to be a library and computers that never happened because of her and my father.”

  “Is there a location of the houses in her phone or an answer to why they are doing all of this?”

  “They don’t just want a hybrid baby. They want a baby with Fae and demon blood. The other elementals are just experiments, but not their target. They want to see if an elemental can mix with another supernatural. Amduscias was paired with a water elemental because she was the principal test subject. When he kept denying her, they started bringing in other elementals. When they realized they had their hands on an actual halfling and Amduscias had taken to her, they thought it would be their first success. They even spelled Serafina to think she only wanted to sleep with Amduscias and not the other men she had become close to.”

  What the fuck? When I had become front and center in this Fae plot, and why did they want my child so badly? Didn’t they know if I got a woman pregnant, I’d die for that child? Even if I didn’t get along with the mother, I’d always be there for my child. They wanted to use me for some breeding stud. I was starting to understand how Serafina was feeling about this plot.

  “Eiltan is looking for her, but not that hard. He knows she’s with Amduscias, and he thinks she still has the spell on her. He’s hoping when he finds her, she’ll already be pregnant, and he can explain himself to her.”

  “Did he fucking explain himself on that phone? Because right now, he’s trying to breed a demon and a halfling like they are champion Hellhounds,” Bael said.

  “No, there’s no reason given. Warden Skinner knows what he wants, but she doesn’t know why. She’s asked a few times, and he’s not answering. He tells her to do her job and not ask questions.”

  Just then, a portal opened, and Purson jumped through.

  “I hear you have a location.”

  “Yes. Seattle. They are scattered around Seattle.”

  “Is there anything else that can help me find them?”

  “The water elements are with a warlock and an Incubus. The air elements are with a Vampire and a wolf. The earth element is with a warlock. They chose two warlocks because they want to see how Fae magic plays with warlock magic.”

  Purson just squared his shoulders. “I know what I’m tracking now. I’ll try to have a location for you in the morning.”

  “Good. Solron will continue to go through this phone. I expect all of you back here after breakfast to find out what we’ve found. And, Serafina, if your guardian finds out anymore, we need to know that too.”

  I opened a portal home. I don’t think I’d ever been that angry in my entire life. Serafina lived a hard life and had a healthy fear of bringing a child into the world to see history repeat itself. I’d never dream of asking her to bear my child before she was ready. None of us would. I could wait forever for her to be prepared.

  This was just gross. Her father was plotting for me to impregnate his daughter, and what for? What did he need a demon hybrid baby for? My child could end up with any powers because I was fire born. It’s not like he would know what he would get.

  Why was this so important? Why did he want my child so badly? Zepar was topside, and I was sure he would be willing to have a baby for a few million dollars. Why try to trick me in jail like that?

  “Bael, I know you dislike it when I badmouth Zepar, but he’s been topside this entire time. He likes money. Eiltan could have approached him and offered him money for doing this, and he would have taken him up on it. I don’t understand why I’m involved in this.”

  Bael stroked his goatee.

  “Zepar was involved in the talks for the land the Fae bought from us. Zepar has never liked the Fae, but he was friendly with them. Eiltan hadn’t been born yet. It’s possible Eiltan doesn’t trust demons and thought he had to trick you.”

  I shook my head. It was more than that. Zepar did nothing out the goodness of his heart. If he was willing to take these elementals in, it was because he was getting something out of it. He hadn’t asked for a single thing, which meant he was getting it from Eiltan.

  “You know Zepar.”

  “Things have changed since you got locked up, Amduscias. Zepar is not the same demon. I know he was lying at my feast, but it probably had something to do with his topside business. Either that, or he was embarrassed because Eiltan approached him for his seed, and he had to tell him no.”

  “Demons get embarrassed over a little sperm?” Serafina scoffed.

  Bael laughed. “Not embarrassed. It’s sacred. Amduscias and Zepar are royal. They can create special children. They can’t just go selling their seed to any Fae who asks them for it.”

  “Zepar would,” I grumbled.

  “Enough, Amduscias,” Bael warned. “Come back in the after breakfast, and hopefully, we will have more information.”

  I knew Bael was done, but I also knew Zepar was up to something. I opened a portal and brought us home. I couldn’t discuss this with Bael. I hoped my friends could see this like I could.

  Serafina

  W

  e were so close to getting those other elementals away from my father. I didn’t know them. They could have spat on me in the street when I was younger as far as I knew. I just knew I had to save them. I didn’t want them going to Zepar’s. There was just something about him I didn’t trust or like. I didn’t like the way he looked at me, and there was just something off about him. The only reason I agreed to let them go to Zepar’s Canadian estate was that he said he had no intention of going there while they stayed there, and I didn’t think my father would look in Canada.

  We were finally back at Amduscias’s estate, and I was getting laid, damnit. I’d been cockblocked by my father’s plot at every turn. I hadn’t been locked up nearly as long as Amduscias, Skoll, or Roman, but I was one horny bastard right now. I blamed the men. I totally blamed the men. It should be illegal for men to be that hot and sweet. Amduscias had his chef feed me fancy cheeseburgers and duck fat fries for fuck’s sake. Just because I said I liked it!

  Amduscias’s portal opened straight into his bedroom. His black eyes were glowering at us.

  “I don’t know about you, but they have locked me up for hundreds of years, and I’m about to explode.”

  I groaned. “It’s only been a few weeks for me, but fuck. I’m about to die, and I had amazing sex last night with Skoll, and I’ve been having it in my dreams with Fergus. I blame all of you for being so sexy.”

  Roman straight up tore his shirt in half. I thought men only did that in superhero movies. His eyes were glowing red, and his fangs were resting on his lower lip. He flung his torn shirt at Skoll.

  “You’re watching. You’ve had your tur
n.”

  Skoll let out a little growl and threw the shirt back at Roman. I had an idea, and it would probably kill me. I placed my hand on my hip and cocked it out to the side. I gave them all my best sassy look.

  “How about I take all three of you at once?”

  You could have heard a pin drop in the room. Skoll gulped, Roman started panting, and Amduscias was giving me the evilest looking grin. Yeah, I would definitely die if I did this, but I would go out happy.

  “All of you, strip,” I ordered, pointing at their zippers.

  Roman ripped his trousers off like they were on fire. Skoll was out of his in seconds and launched them at Roman’s face for throwing his shirt at Skoll. Amduscias gave me a slow, striptease. I’d never seen Amduscias naked before, and his chest was covered in beautiful, swirling tattoos. His prison uniform covered them up, so I’d never seen them.

  I walked over and traced the blue ink with my fingers. Amduscias stood stone still and closed his eyes.

  “These are beautiful. What does it mean?”

  “It’s the demon language. It’s my favorite poem. I don’t want to discuss my tattoos right now, Serafina.”

  I wrapped my hand around his thick cock and gave it a little tug.

  “What do you want to talk about?”

  Amduscias tangled his hands in my hair and pulled my hair back. His eyes were glowing violet. That was new.

  “You’re the only person I know who would tease a Duke of Hell like this,” he said, crushing his lips down on mine.

  Roman came up behind me and started nibbling on my shoulder. I felt his fang prick me as he lapped up the blood. Amduscias certainly knew how to kiss. Maybe I bit off more than I could chew trying to tease an upper demon because I melted in his arms and just turned into a useless pile of goo.

  Amduscias pulled away as Roman continued to nibble on my shoulder. Skoll was at my side biting my ear.

  “Now, how do you think you will handle all three of us, little elemental?”

  I gulped. “Well, I have a pussy, an ass, a mouth, and there are three of you.”

  It sounded like it would work in my head. It wasn’t like I went around plotting to fuck three guys before I got arrested. I could barely tolerate one sweaty guy on top of me trying to talk dirty like he was the master of fucking while I was totally bored and planning how I would get off with my vibrator when I got home. These guys were unique. I was ready to strip off my clothes and beg for it if they even looked at me cross-eyed, and now, I had been plotting to take all three of them at once like I wasn’t just Elemental Batwoman, I was a sex guru.

  Amduscias just winked at me. “Well, you do have a lovely ass, and I’ve always been a sucker for a nice, tight bottom.”

  Well, I guess we got that part worked out. Were Skoll and Roman going to fight? I wanted to do this, but I didn’t want to pick and offend someone. I never wanted any of these men to feel left out or that I preferred someone over them. It would be a balancing act for sure, but we seemed to manage it so far.

  “Think you can handle me in your mouth, killer?” Skoll asked. “Roman needs to deepen his blood bond with you, and I’ve already marked you. It’s time for Roman and Amduscias to make their marks on you.”

  Fergus had been silent this entire time. He usually was when I was with one of them this way. He finally chimed in.

  “Go slowly, my Ena. If they don’t do this correctly, they will hurt you, and I will have to kill them.”

  “There’s a right and wrong way to have a foursome?”

  “Oh, my Ena. If you lived in the Fae realm, you would have already had several foursomes and maybe some with five lovers. You may have taken a woman to your bed. Your first time doing this should be special, and I want to be there to make sure you enjoy yourself. I can’t just yet, so if something feels good, tell them. If something hurts, tell them, so they stop. You be sure to tell them because if they hurt you, I won’t be able to stop myself from killing them.”

  “I promise, Fergus, but please, don’t kill them.”

  “What did Fergus have to say?” Amduscias said with a smirk.

  “Just that, if you hurt me, he’ll kill all of you.”

  Amduscias just threw back his head and laughed.

  “Does Fergus think we are all fumbling virgins, and the Fae have the market cornered on orgies? Has he ever had an orgy with the witches when they are celebrating a full moon? Totally wild.”

  “Dick. Tell him the first rule of orgies is that you don’t brag about previous orgies with other women in front of your beloved to prove a point to another lover. Have some class when you’re about to have sex with four people with me watching.”

  “Now you’re just pissing him off, Amduscias.”

  Amduscias gently took me in his arms and kissed the tip of my nose.

  “I’d never hurt you, Serafina. Neither would Roman or Skoll. If Fergus doesn’t know this, I would hope you would. I’d only bring you down to my dungeon to play if you asked me to. The same goes for Roman. That courtesy is only extended to my lovers. I will personally make sure this little soiree doesn’t get out of control, and no one gets hurt.”

  “Okay, well, now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, can I have my foursome now? I’ve been planning this since we got down here.”

  Amduscias let out this little squeal like a teenaged girl seeing her favorite celebrity.

  “I haven’t even had time to check if my dungeon has had any modern upgrades. I’ll be right back, Serafina.”

  Orgies were so complicated. My Fae guardian had to threaten to kill everyone first, and we couldn’t get started until my demon lover checked his torture dungeon for new toys. Skoll, Roman, and I were just standing there awkwardly as Amduscias portalled to his dungeon to check for god knows what.

  He reappeared with an enormous basket, and he had this look on his face like it was a present from Santa he’d been begging for all year. I would have to get this demon to a sex shop if he was that excited over the bottle of lube in that basket.

  “Look at this! They developed an actual lubricant so you don’t have to use olive oil. And this toy! If I press a button, it vibrates! They make the butt toys from fresh materials, and they vibrate too. Fuck cell phones I can’t get away from. These lubricant and vibrating sex toys are the triumphs of modern invention.”

  Yeah, if there were sex shops in Hell, we were going on a little field trip. Would I offend Alozan if I asked where one was?

  Amduscias was grinning like a kid in a candy store. He started waving a big, purple dildo at us like it was a sword or something.

  “Okay, I’m ready to start this orgy.”

  It was about fucking time. And that massive purple thing wasn’t coming anywhere near me.

  Chapter 38

  Serafina

  N

  ow that all the posturing and dildo waving was out of the way, we could finally get on with the orgy. Have you ever seen three guys who have never seen a Hitachi wand before? They all wanted to take a turn using it on me. I was squirming and shrieking, and we hadn’t even gotten to the sex yet. It got a hundred times worse when Amduscias made me get on all fours. Roman had the wand on my clit while Amduscias played with my ass.

  It was a little uncomfortable as he wriggled the butt plug in, but I nearly came when he turned it on and it vibrated. I shrieked every curse word I knew as my body shook. If Fergus was worried about them preparing me, oh god, did they prepare me. I was a shaking mess by the time we got to the actual sex part.

  Roman sighed and caressed my breast as I slid down his cock. I could feel him stretching me out. He had this lovely curve to his cock that was hitting all the right places. Amduscias pressed my shoulders forward, so I was chest to chest with Roman. Roman buried his face in my neck and started leaving me little love bites. Some of them broke the skin, and he would lap up my blood.

  Amduscias pressed into my ass, slowly, giving me the time to get used to him. Fergus was this buzzing presence in my stomach, ma
king sure I wasn’t in pain. I wasn’t in pain. I was totally blissed out. I growled and called Skoll over. He kneeled by Roman’s head, and I started licking his cock.

  Skoll ran his hand over the top of my head.

  “Yeah, just like that, killer.”

  Roman hissed. “Shit, this is better than I ever imagined.”

  Amduscias just chuckled and rubbed my back.

  “There’s not a fire dragon buzzing in your head he will kill us, is there?”

  “No murdering. More fucking.”

  Skoll was playing with my hair with his massive erection right in my face. Had we gotten all the talking out the way? Amduscias visited his dungeon and found out things vibrated now. They all had a go seeing what the wand did to me. Fergus promised not to kill everyone. Did we need engraved invitations to have orgies in Hell?

  “You heard our lovely elemental,” Skoll said. “She doesn’t want to talk anymore. She wants us to pleasure her.”

  Roman groaned and wrapped his arms around my waist.

  “If Fergus doesn’t burn us, she will if we keep talking and don’t do this right.”

  Amduscias and Roman were just sitting there buried inside me, not moving. Skoll and I were both ready to go. What were my demon and Vampire waiting for?

  Amduscias started stroking my back again.

  “I’m sorry, Serafina. I think I speak for Roman too when I tell you neither of us has been with a woman in hundreds of years. We are both worried about finishing like a sixteen-year-old virgin and leaving you unsatisfied.”

  Well, that was actually kind of cute and sweet. I had a big, wicked ancient demon and Vampire buried to the hilt in my pussy and ass, and they were nervous. Fuck, I was nervous too.

  “We don’t have to do this,” I said. “We can take our time, and I can be with you one on one before we try something like this.”
