“No, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t add a little vampire blood to your diet. All three of us should to help us recover faster. There are several vampires on campus, right?”
“You’re the psychic. Shouldn’t you know the answer?”
“I don’t see everything. Just glimpses here and there, things that are mostly important to me,” he says.
“Whatever. Yes, there are several vampires here. Drake, a few others I don’t remember their names, and Jezebel, the maker of them all.”
“Jezebel, right,” Evander says. “She’s about to get what’s coming to her.”
“Huh?” I ask.
“Did you think it was a coincidence that she only turns young, handsome males?”
“No, I’ve always thought it was sort of strange but didn’t want to make waves.”
“That’s because she’s seeks them out in advance, and then orchestrates a life or death situation to turn them,” Evander explains.
“Holy shit. You need to tell Cash. And Drake.”
“You tell him. He knows you better and is more likely to trust you than me, the psycho psychic.”
“Cash will come around to having you on board. Probably,” I tell him before I roll off the bed and then struggle to find the energy to get to the shower.
“Cash, man, we need to talk,” I say when I finally make it back to our room, moving at a snail’s pace.
“Later,” the vampire says from where he’s spooning with Nadia.
“Can’t wait,” I tell him before I dive onto the bed on her other side. Lifting his wrist from her waist, I bring it up to my mouth and bite. Hard.
“Ow! What the fuck?” Cash exclaims when he jerks his arm away from me and in the process wakes up Nadia, who blinks up at me and smiles.
“I need a hit from you,” I tell him. “Can you just get it started?”
“Please, Cash?” Nadia asks softly before she leans forward and places a swift kiss on my lips. “Good morning.”
“Morning,” I reply. Cash grumbles but then holds out his wrist that’s dripping blood from the two new wounds. I suck hard to try as get as much as possible as quickly as possible because I hate the taste. Once I can feel the liquid working inside of me, taking away my sluggishness, I let go.
“Thanks,” I tell him. “Trent and Evander could probably use a hit too.”
“Ask Drake for some blood. Or Jez,” Cash mumbles.
“That’s actually what I wanted to talk to you about. Jez.”
“What about her?” Cash huffs without opening his eyes.
“The psychic confirmed what I already assumed. Man, she picked you and set you up.”
“What are you talking about?” he mutters.
“Talk to Jez and find out what happened the night you were turned. Then, talk to Drake and the other vamps. It’s suspicious and a big coincidence that you’re all under thirty, in shape and not hard to look at.”
“Are you flirting with me, Z?” Cash teases with a chuckle.
“Just think about it. And talk to her, okay? Also, we need her blood, so don’t piss her off.”
“I’ll think about it,” he grumbles. “After about eight more hours of sleep.”
“Well, let me know when you leave so I can come stay with Nadia.”
“You don’t have to do that,” she says.
“I want to spend some time with you today too,” I tell her. “We’ll keep our clothes on. Probably. Maybe.”
Chapter 22
Cash
“There you are,” I say when I finally find Jezebel sitting on the back steps of the main house. “I looked everywhere for you.”
“Hey, Cash,” she replies when I take a seat beside her.
“Everything okay?” I ask since she seems sad. Her shoulders are hunched over in her thin white tank top. Usually she’s happy and outgoing but I’m definitely getting a depressed, emo vibe from the raven-haired vamp today. Her normally spiked short hair is even looking flat.
“I heard about your succubus,” she replies. “Everyone’s talking about her and her…harem.”
“Ah, yeah, I bet everyone is talking,” I agree. “Not every day you see a succubus. Which brings me to why I was looking for you. Would you mind donating a few pints of blood? The other guys need it apparently to heal faster after they’re with her.”
“Yeah. Sure.”
“Are you all right, Jez?” I ask again.
“No, Cash. I’m not okay. First, Drake left me for a witch, and now you’re leaving me for a succubus!”
“Leaving you? I was never with you, and I don’t think Drake was either,” I point out. “Yes, you turned us and saved us, but that doesn’t mean we were yours.”
“I thought you could be. Someday.”
“That’s not how it works,” I tell her. “I didn’t ask to fall for a woman who needs to sleep with lots of men, but too bad, it’s what I ended up with. And I’m okay with that because I care about Nadia.”
“You never even tried to be with me,” she says.
“You’re right. I didn’t,” I agree. “And you know why? Because at first, I hated that you made me without my consent. I didn’t want to be immortal and drink blood the rest of my life.”
“So, I should’ve let you die?” Jez asks. “You would rather be dead than a vampire; is that what you’re saying?”
“At the time of my accident, yes. But now I’m glad I am what I am. It turns out that being a vampire is exactly what I needed to be for Nadia, so I guess I should thank you,” I tell her. “Even though I think you’re the reason I almost died.”
“What are you talking about?” she huffs while running her fingers through her shoulder-length raven hair.
“My brakes on my truck were fine, and then suddenly they wouldn’t work and I’m soaring through the air and into the river…” I start. “I don’t remember anyone else at the scene. No EMS or emergency responders. Just you, pulling me out, giving me mouth to mouth and then I passed out. When I woke up, we were here, at the academy and I was craving blood.”
“I don’t know what you’re implying, but I saved you!”
“What about Drake? Who hit him when he was on his bike, Jez? What about Wes and Nathan? Are there any accident reports about their near-death experiences?”
“You can’t tell the council,” she says when she grabs the front of my shirt. “Please, Cash. They’ll kill me.”
“Yeah, it’s not fun being killed without permission, right?” I ask her as I remove her hands from me and get to my feet. “And I can’t promise you anything. What you’re doing…it isn’t right, and it has to stop.”
Standing up in front of me, she says, “You don’t know what it’s like. I’ve been like this for two-hundred years, Cash! Two. Hundred. Years. You were out of your mind lonely after just two! And still you barely touched me! I just want to have someone who is mine, forever.”
“I get that, I do,” I tell her. “But I think you’re going about it the wrong way. Don’t be surprised if one of these days that bad karma catches up with you, Jez. I hope you’ll be ready for it.”
Nadia
“How are you feeling?” I ask Zaine as we walk around the grounds, his fingers intertwined with mine.
“Better,” he responds, which means he was…worse.
Coming to a stop, I face him and tell him, “You know you don’t have to do this for me, right?”
“Believe me,” he says with a chuckle. “It’s not a sacrifice to have sex with you.”
Despite his words, I can tell by the tight expression on his face that he still has reservations.
“Zaine, I almost killed you just the other night. I get how scary that must be,” I assure him. “So, I would understand if it’s too much to ask…”
“It’s not too much,” he says, giving my hand a squeeze. “And I know you wouldn’t ever hurt me on purpose. You even tried to warn me the other night, but I didn’t listen.”
“It’s more than just the soul dr
aining sex. Being there, watching while I’m with other men can’t be easy for you either. I know I wouldn’t be able to watch you with another woman.”
“You wouldn’t?” he asks with a grin.
“God, no. I would constantly be worried that you think she’s prettier or sexier or a better lover than me.”
“After last night, do you have a ranking order for the four of us?” he asks. “Who’s prettier, Nadia? It’s definitely me, right?”
“I-I don’t think of you guys like that,” I tell him honestly. “For me, it’s not about who is hotter or bigger or whatever. I just have a preference for you and Cash because I think it’s more than just sex with both of you, that it means more than a few orgasms.”
“It does,” Zaine agrees. “Even if I couldn’t…well, when Evander first said that you and I weren’t compatible, my first thought was that I don’t give a shit because somehow we would figure it out, you know? Even if it meant…even if it meant that you and I couldn’t be together, physically.”
“So you’re okay with everything, the other guys, the limitations on being with me, having to drink vampire blood to heal?” I ask.
“Yeah, I am,” Zaine answers with a smile. Letting go of my hand to frame my face in his hands, he says, “I never imagined being in this sort of relationship, but we’ll figure it out.”
“Yeah,” I agree as I place a soft kiss on his lips, happy that he’s not going to give up on us even though things aren’t conventional. “We will.”
Chapter 23
Nadia
After a wild weekend with my boys, it’s back to work on Monday morning. Evander said I was ready, all powered up or whatever, and that the old coven masters would come after me soon enough so that we can carry out our counter plan.
The guys are going to take turns following me to work and keeping an eye on me each day, which sucks for them, but they insisted. I only wear bottoms with pockets, and have two phones on me at all times, my regular one and a watch phone that Cash bought me in case of an emergency. His number is programmed in, along with everyone else’s.
Despite our preparedness and knowing I could hurt someone with a simple touch if I need to, I’m still nervous all day long on Monday.
But nothing happened.
The entire week went by like normal – everything except living at the academy with lots of other supernatural beings and spending my nights with four hot men. All of whom insist that I wear the academy uniform whenever I’m not naked or at work. It’s ridiculous how much they enjoy taking me in the short plaid skirt, and I’ve gone through about three different tops that have each been ripped open. Still, it’s the least I can do to make them happy after how happy and good they make me feel.
I’ve also been doing research in the library during my free time, looking up how to control my cravings, how to wield my powers, where they came from, etcetera. Not going too long without sex is the key and shouldn’t be a problem anymore. Apparently, that’s why I passed out after the robbery and felt so weak. Going too long without feeding on souls could even kill me eventually since it’s an essential part of me, so it’s a good thing that I found Cash and Zaine when I did.
Otherwise, thanks to my demonic genetics, I’ll never get sick with the normal human ailments; I’ll age very slowly and possibly not much at all after puberty, which of course will help find willing lovers. And I can expect to live a few hundred years as long as I have regular feedings.
One thing I did find comfort in was that succubae and incubi struggle with reading human languages, which is why I struggled all during school. I do know Latin and can read it word for word despite having never studied it. I never knew it before because I just hadn’t seen it before I started reading the Latin books in the academy’s massive library.
As far as my powers go, I simply need intent. Since I don’t want to hurt my lovers, I only take a little from them each time we’re together. It’s a natural reaction that I control, yet I never knew it.
But if I wanted to, I could keep taking, keep feeding until there’s nothing left of their soul. That sounds so evil that I’m not sure I would be able to do it even under extreme duress. The guys all assure me that I’ll be able to kill the masters if and when I need to, and I don’t want to worry them by telling them I’m not so sure.
Besides, we have more fun things to do than talk about the bad guys who are after me and want to use my powers as their own.
On Saturday morning, I had the day off work and I finally got what I had been dreaming of – all four men at the same time. Cash took me from behind while I rode Zaine and took turns using my hands and mouth on Trent and Evander. It was incredible.
On Sunday, we figured out that Zaine, Trent and Evander could take me one at a time without losing consciousness if they wore a condom and pulled out before coming. Of course it isn’t as satisfying for me when I can’t absorb their pleasure, but I still soaked up some of it when they took off the condom and came on my stomach, breasts and ass.
That’s right, I’m living like a porno slut, and I like it.
No, I love it. This is what I’ve been craving all my life – a group of men who care about me and give me so much pleasure it blows my mind.
Being with Cash, Zaine, Trent and Evander has been the best experience of my life, making me feel…complete in a way I never felt before. Or maybe that feeling comes from being cared for by four very different, but very sweet men who I know would do anything for me.
One day soon, I may have to do the same for them. I just hope I’m strong enough.
Chapter 24
Zaine
Nadia, unfortunately, has to go back to work on Monday. And since it was my day off, it was my turn to follow her and sit outside the grocery store, waiting for her to work an eight-hour shift.
I’m bored as fuck and missing my girl as I sit in my GTO with the windows rolled down.
That’s right, Nadia’s mine even if I do share her. Evander was right. It’s getting easier to see her with Cash and the other guys. I’m not sure if they see it or not, but she’s always kissing me and Cash a little longer than Trent or Evander. She also joins Cash and I in our room and lets us hold her while she sleeps. It’s an unusual situation all around, but I think it’ll work for the five of us.
Needing to stretch my legs and see her beautiful face, I climb out of my car around noon and stroll into the store to talk to her and grab a can of Pringles and a soda.
“Hi, gorgeous,” I say to Nadia as soon as she finishes with the customer in front of me.
“Hey!” she exclaims in surprise, her face lighting up with a smile. “Hungry?” she asks while ringing up my two items.
“Starving,” I tell her as I eye her up and down in her short, white jean skirt and red vest with the store’s logo stitched over her left tit and her name tag on her right.
“Stop looking at me like that when I’m trying to work,” she whispers.
“You got a lunch break coming up?” I ask.
“Maybe.”
“I could meet you out back in ten?”
“Deal,” she agrees with a sly grin.
I munch on my chips in my car, down my drink to hydrate, and then pop in a couple of mints before I head around the back of the store.
My dick was already getting hard just thinking about how I was going to take her. I haven’t had much alone time with Nadia since Cash is a fucking vampire with a perpetual woody, so I want to make the most of our quick fuck.
And no, I don’t just want to fuck her. I want to kiss her lips and look into her beautiful eyes as our bodies join in the best possible way.
As soon as Nadia steps out of the employee exit, I back her into the brick wall and lift her legs up my body so she can wrap them around my waist. Our mouths attack each other as her hands come between us, working my belt buckle while I hike up the hem of her skirt.
“Shit!” I exclaim, my fist freezing as I clench the material.
“What?” Nadia asks
, her hands pausing as well.
“I don’t have a condom on me.”
“We can do it without one just this time, right?” she asks. “You can-you can come in my mouth.”
“Fuck yes,” I groan as I slam my mouth down on hers and we resume our undressing.
My throbbing dick is out and buried inside of her about ten seconds later. “Oh shit. Oh fuck,” I hiss out through my gritted teeth as I concentrate on not emptying inside of her instantly. She just feels so hot and tight and slick surrounding my bare flesh for the very first time. God, it feels fucking amazing. In the back of my mind, I know I can’t finish inside of her, not just because I don’t want to knock her up, but also because I don’t want to die. And yet, those two important reasons begin to drift away, becoming not as important as coming right this moment.
As if sensing my struggle, seeing it in my eyes, Nadia lowers her legs from my waist, and then she’s sinking down to her knees on the pavement like the goddess she is. Her lips have barely closed around my swollen head when my release lands on her tongue. Nadia sucks me hard and moans her encouragement as my hips jerk uncontrollably, fucking her face not so gently. I’ll have to apologize later, but for now, I give myself over to the pleasure.
Like usual when I come for her, my limbs automatically start to go limp.
I’m so weak that, when my arms are suddenly wrenched behind my back, there’s not much I can do to fight against my assailant. In the blink of an eye, a plastic tie is digging into both of my wrists, restraining them.
Nadia’s eyes widen when she sees whoever is behind me, and then she’s scrambling up to her feet.
“Run!” I tell her since I know I’m fucking done for.
She takes off around the side of the building, but a dude in all black goes running after her. He comes back with her, his thick arm banded around her waist, holding her feet off the ground. Nadia kicks and punches at him to try and get away, or more likely, trying her best to get her succubus hands on some part of his flesh. Too bad he’s covered from head to toe with leather, gloves on his hands and a ski mask over his face.
