Eternal Damnation: A novel of the Amagarians

by Reid, Stacy

  She cupped his cheek, brushing a tender kiss over his lips. The beautiful colors of his eyes had darkened, the savage cheekbones flushed with aroused sensuality. He held her gaze as he pushed his cock inside her, the thick ridges rubbing along her sensitive core. Shilah found it increasingly hard to focus on anything but the stretching tightness between her thighs. Ecstasy mixed with the pain of the full, relentless penetration.

  A sob caught in her throat. “Lachlan.”

  He snarled, his own instincts clearly fighting to take over and ram into her. With a growl, Lachlan dug his fingertips deep into her ass and shoved, sinking deep inside her sex. Shilah screamed, clinging to his shoulders, gasping through the shock of the pleasure-pain. The pressure felt unbearable, the muscles of her pussy fluttering and clenching over the piercing thickness, struggling to adjust to his cock.

  Black chakra exploded from his skin, caressing over her body in a sensuous caress and down to her clit where it stroked over it like fingers. Sweet, mind-shattering ecstasy rushed through her, making her wetter and her muscles relaxing over Lachlan’s girth. The chakra coiled around her, gently caressing her skin, kneading her breasts, and stimulating her nipples.

  He leaned slightly back and looked at where they joined. She blushed furiously as he rimmed her entrance where she stretched around him so tightly. Pleasure streaked through her as nerve endings came alive from the scrape of his claws. She swallowed as he ran his fingers to her clitoris and pressed, creating a firestorm of lust to bolt through her. “Ughhhh!”

  He pulled from her with excruciating slowness, the drag of the ridges of his cock in her tender sex, filled her with bliss, then he thrust to the hilt once more inside her. A wild cry tore from her throat at being filled so deliciously. His cock fucked inside her with a rhythm that had her gasping at the savagery of the biting pleasure.

  With one hand curved around her back, the other holding her buttocks, he slammed her down onto his cock, over and over with bruising strength, his chakra back at her core working her clitoris, squeezing then caressing the sensitive nub filling her with sheer bliss. She fisted his hair in her hands and dragged his mouth against hers. Their tongues dueled in a provocative kiss and with every thrust into her wet, smacking sex, his control melted away.

  The monster in him rose, their thread exploded in a bright silvery light with the hovering darkness consuming it more and more. The two merged, creating a dark silver aura, that burned with lust and blood-thirst. The protest that swelled against her lips only came in wild cries of bliss. Fear sneaked into her heart as with every lunge, every swivel of his lips, he shattered her barriers, breaking her control. Shilah whimpered as the heat became hotter and more destructive. White-hot pleasure snapped through her body, and Shilah screamed in release. Her body convulsed, and he gave her no respite, riding her through the waves of brutal pleasure.

  She became wild, unstoppable in her passions. Her hips rose, her nails raked his sweat-slicked back, her teeth sank into his shoulders drawing blood as he thrust deeper and the pleasure became hotter. The need for another release was growing, tightening, burning inside her until she felt as though flames were consuming her alive. Shilah did not surrender. He wrenched it from her, and despair filled her because she felt as if he owned her. He owned each cry, each scream that petered out to gasping pleas and moans as his intensity grew.

  His head lowered to the vulnerable crook of her neck, and he licked with erotic hunger the sensitive flesh over her frantically beating pulse, and struck, his fangs sliding deep.

  Fire and ice. Pain and pleasure.

  A growl of triumph and ecstasy burned along their link as he consumed her essence. Their minds merged, the thread connecting them wrapped around them like a heated dark silver chain, his pleasure became hers, and she sobbed with the sheer power of it. The walls of the room shook, the ground undulated.

  His thrusts into her body were hard, penetrating, and deep as he took her with brutal carnality. Perspiration layered her flesh as the pleasure expanded inside her, a noise escaped her throat, a high keening sound of bliss. She was dimly aware of the hoarse cry forcing its way out her throat as she finally shuddered in orgasm. His roar reverberated in the room as a hot splash of seed released inside her.

  She wilted onto his chest, relaxing into the haven of his embrace, her body still shivering through the aftermath of such untamed loving. They stayed like that, he kneeled onto the bed, their flesh still connected, her legs wrapped around his hips, her torso resting intimately against his.

  Shadows coated her senses, and then she was in some sort of cavern. The cave was lit with several great torches, sending a soft glow dancing over the ceiling. Water gushed from a rock, steam rising from around the basin it pooled in. He flowed with her into the water, taking her over to the fall, then he withdrew from her body. She moaned in protest, her body aching. Then a sigh of pleasure as the heat of the water soothed the soreness of her muscles.

  They remained silent, and she smiled when a shadow darted over the surface of the water, to lift a flagon and fill a chalice which he carried to her. She took the goblet and sipped, the zesty wine bursting with rich flavor and sweetness on her tongue.

  The shadows deepened, creeping along the walls and floors of the cave, and then images formed as he entertained her with the dancing shadows. Shilah laughed, thinking how incredible it was that he shaped the shadows to look like people, as he showed her a story of a man and woman walking along a cliff, then dancing under the sky, then making love using shadows alone.

  It wasn’t odd to her that they did not speak. There was a level of comfort in the silence and a barely lit cave she’d not thought possible. The shadows brought fruits next, strange, and oddly colored but quite delectable.

  Sheila ate and drank wine, and not once did they speak. With a replete sigh, she leaned into him sleepily, feeling secure in the arms that wrapped around her waist.

  “Why do you drink my blood?”

  “It is a need…a compulsion I cannot fight or deny. Does it repulse you, my mate?”

  “No.”

  “Good.”

  A slow fire started to build in her belly, and she quivered, a soft moan slipping from her. Black chakra curled around her like smoke and then dipped below the surface of the water. Something grasped each of her legs beneath the water and opened them, then slid sinuously up her calf to her knee, a long, slow, very even stroke up to her exposed sex. His chakra glided over her flesh with sublime pressure, pressing in the tender wall of her pussy, and up to her clitoris. She panted, need making her slick with welcome. He was relentless in how he worked her clitoris, the power of his shadows and chakra moving the hood covering that tender bud, rubbing, and squeezing her nub, filling her with bliss. She tried to move out of the caress, the unrelenting stimulation, the aching sensation too much, too brutal, and there was no ease.

  She leaned back against his chest with a whimper. One of his hands banded around her waist, slid up to over her belly, through the valley between her breasts, where he lingered, stroking her flesh, tugging her nipples, then up to span her throat. The strength in his touch was unmistakable. Everything about the dark creature behind her spoke to her most primal lustful instincts.

  With a simple nudge, her neck arched, exposing her throat. His teeth scraped along her pulse, and the breath left her lungs in a rush. His fangs scraped her flesh, he took a small nip, sending streaks of fire through her veins, making her whimper and moan his name.

  “I love feeling you under my hands,” he murmured. “I love these sweet hot little noises you can’t help but make as I break your pussy into my cock.”

  She writhed against him, but there was no ease in his sensual assault. She felt a fire swell and grow in her belly as the ache in her clitoris became overwhelming. It built, and her limbs trembled. He spun with her and eased her over the rock, his shadows holding her legs apart as he notched the head of his cock at the needy entrance of her sex.

  He waited, and she arched
inviting him to burn with her, mindless with the pleasure twisting through her body. His chakra rubbed her sensitive clitoris harder, faster, driving her beyond pleasure. She shattered, and it was then he slammed deep inside her, jerking her to the tip of her toes, her buttocks arching against his body. Whimpering at the unyielding pressure she tried to shift, but she was impaled so deep on his cock she could barely move. A weak moan whispered past her lips.

  His growls of pleasure and dominance echoed in the cave, and dark, primitive lust flavored his chakra. With a burst of shadows, they were in the room, and he tumbled her down onto the bed. He grabbed her by the waist and flipped her over onto her hands and knees, his powerful body looming over her from behind making her feel small and far too vulnerable. She’d never been so aware of her delicate femininity.

  He swept her wet hair aside and brushed a kiss along her neck. She turned her face, her cheek sliding against silk sheets. A glimpse of a stark, raw hunger that made her shiver in anticipation. His hand banded across her waist to keep her from moving, and then he shoved his thick girth deep into her in one stroke.

  His primal groan of satisfaction echoed in the chamber and drowned out Shilah’s wailing scream. Lachlan started to move in her, a relentless rhythm that had her thrashing and sobbing in ecstasy. His chakra worked her clitoris, rubbing circular motions into the sensitive bud. He drove her hard toward insanity, toward rapture, toward losing all sense of herself. She became a creature drunk on pleasure, craving him more and more, despite the thick, rough penetration as he ravaged her trembling pussy. Her body spasmed weakly as his chakra rubbed her aching nub firmer, forcing devastating pleasure into the already overly sensitized nerve endings, sending sharp shocks of sensation through her.

  His teeth sank deep in the curve of her neck. The pain of the bite gave way to the erotic ecstasy, and a wild cry tore from her as white-hot heat consumed her. Fire roared and spread through her body in an unending pulse of pleasure. Their minds merged, and Shilah became lost, swept away in the firestorm of his desire, absorbing all the monstrosity in his soul, all the darkness, and all the desires as he released with a rough satisfied groan.

  He retracted his teeth from her throat, and licked her skin, closing the wounds.

  He tilted her head up a little and bent his neck, capturing her lips in a soft kiss. His kiss was searing and possessive despite the gentle caress. Shilah shifted so she rested almost on top of his body. She curved herself around the hard outline of his chest and thighs, listening to the muted roar of his heartbeat still glowing in the pleasurable aftermath of the rapture.

  Strong arms closed around her back, pulling her closer to his powerful torso. “Thank you for this gift beyond price. I will treasure it for all eternity.”

  She pressed her nose into his neck and inhaled deeply. “Thank you for tonight,” she murmured almost shyly against their link.

  A brush of amusement, bloodlust, and tenderness caressed her through their thread.

  “The night has just started, my mate.”

  * * *

  His mate’s silver-white hair was spread over his silken sheets, her eyes glazed and bright with the shy awakening of her sensuality, her slit pink and swollen from his excess, glistening with their combined release. She was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. He had relinquished all concerns that she might get hurt by the brutal pounding as he’d claimed her. Lachlan had slightly lost control, but she had burned right along with him, accepting his rough carnality, surrendering to pleasure several times. She’d moaned his name, over and over, her hands fisting in his hair, holding him to her. Noting the paleness of her skin, and the dark bruises under her eyes, a fierce need to protect her surged through him. He’d taken too much of her blood.

  Reaching up with a clawed finger, he sliced into his neck deep. “Come and drink of me.”

  The slightest hesitation wafted from her, then she slid along his body with sinuous grace and licked the blood from his neck. Eyes widened, and pleasure flowed along their link. “This is delicious.”

  “Suck harder. I took a lot from you, and you need to replenish.”

  Her throat worked on a long pull, and then she swallowed. She arched into him, her body soft and pliant. She moaned against his flesh, a breathy little sound that sent a lash of erotic heat rushing through his body. Each stroke of her tongue, tug of her lips, pounded lust through his veins. She pulled from him, pressing a finger to her blood red lips. “How is it that your blood tastes so wonderful to me?”

  “We do not know the full of it, but when a Darkan mates with a non-Darkan, there is a craving for each other’s blood, especially during the mating heat.”

  He tugged her silky soft curves tight against the hardness of his body. Her eyes widened at the feel of his erection, and shock and intrigue burned along their thread. “Again, Lachlan Ravenswood?”

  He stroked his fingers down her cheek, infinitely gentle. “For the entire night, my leika. But not at this moment.”

  She stroked a hand over his chest, pleasure curving her lips at the simple act of touching him.

  “Come, I shall feed you properly and take you to your sister. Then the rest of the night will belong to us once again.”

  The fractured stars that were her eyes seemed to brighten, and she moved away from him to her satchel holding her clothes. He watched her as she went into the bath chamber and took a quick bath and dressed. He felt fascinated by her energy, the quick, lithe way she walked, her shimmering sensuality. He felt the ebb of the connection between them, the sharing of mind and body, the dark flow of his blood rushing through her veins. He’d been half alive for four hundred years…and now every dark crevice of his being hungered for her light.

  I am bewitched.

  Shilah stirred sleepily, pushing back the curtain of her silver hair from her face. The overly large bedchamber was lit with dozens of great torches, and a steaming bath which had not been present earlier was now in the center of the room. The tattered remains of her sari littered the plush carpeted floor. Free of sensual distractions, she glanced about, admiring the raw elegance of the room.

  Windows encased an entire wall of the palatial chamber, and fluorescent flowers crept along the glass on vines. Somehow, she could smell the unique flowers hovering in the darkness beyond, hear the cries of wild creatures, the gurgling of a stream, and the thunderous roar of a waterfall. It was as if the castle was in the center of a wild forest, and its king was Lachlan Ravenswood—a dark, merciless predator.

  She slowly pushed herself up from off the bed, her legs trembled, but she forced herself to stand. The softness of the green carpet tickled her toes, and she took a tentative step and halted. Shilah winced at the ache between her legs. She moved slowly to the bath, faltered at the large glinted mirror before it, and gasped. She looked a fright with her damp hair pasted to her nape. There were red strawberry marks everywhere on her body—her throat, breasts, stomach, and thighs. Those were the places he had nibbled and licked, sometimes nipping with his fangs. Her lips were red and swollen, and she pressed trembling fingers to her mouth.

  At some time during their sensual feast, Lachlan had speared his clawed tipped fingers into the silken weight of her hair, bunching the strands in his hands as he held her head in place, staring down at her as he fucked her mouth with slow, shallow strokes. Connected deep to his mind, she explored him, lashing him with tormented pleasure. Her entire body blushed red at the carnal memory. How thorough he had been in his debauchery and cruel sensuality. Sweat had run in rivulets down her skin as he had taken her for hours, riding her through multiple orgasms.

  His features never softened to that of a gentle lover. There had been a time her thighs had trembled with the effort to remain open, and he had flipped her to her stomach and drew her to her knees, or atop him. He had been without mercy to her hoarse screams, the hands that twisted the sheets as he took her body to the utmost heights of terrifying pleasure. There had been times when the erotic bite of
pain had overwhelmed the pleasure. Those were the times he’d stopped, and took her pussy in his mouth, licking and sucking on her center bringing her to orgasm over and over before mounting her again.

  Their hours of loving had been wicked, hedonistic, and Shilah sensed on a deep level she would never experience such shattering bliss with another. “And I would do it all over again,” she whispered to her shattered reflection.

  She pressed a hand to the smooth curvatures of her stomach, knowing their mating would not result in a child. Yearning struck her heart, the desperate ache of it smarting her eyes. If only it were possible. She was up to date with an injection that prevented unplanned conception. There were at least ten more years before the nanotechnology would disintegrate through her bloodstream. Not that if conception occurred, she could have kept her child in her realm. As an Impure, she was already condemned to a solitary existence. Crown Princess or not, she would be punished to the full extent of the law if she knowingly created life with the knowledge she was a multi-genesis, threatening the safety of an entire planet.

  Lachlan Ravenswood made her hunger for impossible things. Shilah had wanted to stay cocooned in the lust he’d stoked in her. The guilt of wanting to be free, never to return to her kingdom almost felled her. She had momentarily yearned to be unshackled from it all and drown herself in the heat, taste, and scent, and a life with him, filled with possibilities of happiness that could not be attained living in Dxyriah.

  She felt a peculiar wrenching in the vicinity of her heart. She was perilously close to falling into this man, and that was a situation her kingdom could not afford. It was to only be one night, she reminded herself fiercely, hating the prick of tears behind her lids. “Kala are you well?” she asked knocking at the psychic door of her sister’s mind.

  “Yes.”
