“I don’t know if I can undo the wards without the alarms going off,” I mutter, staring into his beautiful blue eyes.
He moves behind me in a flash of Vampire speed and places his hands on my hips. He leans down to whisper in my ear, “You can do anything you set your mind to, love.” His lips linger at the pulse pounding in my neck. “Question is, do you really want to do it or are you scared?”
I turn my head slightly so that my mouth is millimeters from his. “I’m not afraid,” I whisper.
“Then show me,” he says quietly. “Show me what you can do.”
I stalk forward and place my hand on the ward visible to my naked eyes, shimmering a soft blue and gold. I close my eyes, feeling Axl’s intense gaze on me. I focus and attempt to syphon the power of the ward out in a gate-shaped hole that we can escape through. I picture what I want to happen and feel the magick of the Coven seeping into my hand.
“You did it,” he murmurs, reaching around me and turning the handle on the gate.
I open my eyes and see that I did do it. I beam proudly at him, making him chuckle. Even though I feel like a fool for being so impressed with myself, I don’t let it deter me from stepping through the gate and out into the forest with him close behind me.
He closes the gate quietly and takes me by my hand. “I’ll track,” he says in a normal tone. “Can you keep up?” he goads with a smirk.
“Of course,” I scoff. “Off you go.” I gesture with my other hand toward the tall, thick trees.
He sets off with an immense speed that takes me a second to catch up with. He drags me along, my hair blowing back from my face as I find my feet and then we are leaping over rocks, gliding over the soft earth the scent of pine and damp dirt filling my senses.
It is exhilarating.
I grin as we rush through the trees and all too soon, he slows down and stops, tightening his hold on my hand.
He places his finger to his lips. “Shh,” he murmurs, then he points to a deer that I hadn’t seen before he showed me.
My mother would be so proud of him and his expert tracking skills. That thought makes me giggle softly.
He gives me a look to keep quiet and I do, sobering up as he takes a stealthy foot forward. I let go of his hand and watch him as he stalks his prey and pounces on it before the poor creature even knew he was there.
My pussy goes damp with undeniable lust as he viciously tears into the throat of the deer, slaking his thirst deeply before he pulls back, his mouth covered in blood, a wicked smile on his face. He holds his hand out for me.
I don’t hesitate to go to him, fangs dropping at the scent of the blood. “That’s it, love. Drink deeply,” he murmurs. “Feed the beast inside you.”
I lean over, taking the weight of the deer in my hands as I fall to the ground. I lean over and sink my fangs right over the wound he inflicted, causing him to moan with the same lust that is filling my senses.
Closing my eyes, I start to suck the blood out of the deer, the sharp feral taste making me groan slightly in bliss.
I pull and swallow until I feel my hunger abate then I lift my head from the creature’s neck, snapping my fangs back into place with a wild smile on my lips.
In the next second, I’m flat on my back with Axl grinding his hard cock against me, his mouth devouring mine as our tongues duel with each other to gain the upper hand.
I push my hips up, needing him now in a way that was a simmer before, but is now boiling up and over to the point where if I don’t have him, I will die inside.
He moves his mouth to my throat as I arch my back with a gasp of intense desire, his hands sliding up my t-shirt to cup my tits before he tugs on my nipples through the lacy fabric of the black bra, I hastened to throw on earlier.
“I need you,” I purr at him, flattening my back to the damp ground, my hands going in between us to his zipper.
“This is the right time,” he whispers, gazing down at me with more than lust in his eyes. “You are mine to take now.”
I nod and flick open the button to his pants before I lower the zipper slowly. “Yours,” I murmur against his lips before he plunges his tongue into my mouth, his hands going into my hair to tug gently as I cry out into his mouth in divine pleasure.
Chapter 16
Lilith
This anticipated kiss is turning me on in all of the right ways. He is forceful, claiming my mouth as his, only to slow down to a gentle sweep against my tongue with his.
He is driving me wild. I need him inside me before I cry from frustration.
I gasp, because in the next second, he grabs my arms and lifts me off the ground with his Vampire speed and shoves me up against an enormous tree. The bark digs into my back, but I don’t care. It just adds to the excitement. He takes his claws and rips my t-shirt to shreds, exposing my bra to him. He draws in a breath and then so slowly hooks a claw into the middle of my bra and renders the lacy fabric so that it falls away from my breasts. The chill night air puckers my nipples instantly, causing him to groan with restraint.
“Take me, Axl. Make me yours,” I cry out when he swipes his tongue over one of my nipples, which sends a bolt of lust straight to my clit.
He growls quietly and fumbles between us to get his cock out. As soon as it is free, I stroke it, feeling the size of it in my hand. He is huge. I shiver with delight.
With a feral grin, he slices through my leggings, slashing the fabric so that they drop away from me leaving me unencumbered. He draws in a breath as he sees I didn’t bother with panties.
His eyes go slightly tight when they shoot back up to mine. “You were with him first?” he asks in a dark tone, losing his fangs and claws so that he can shove his fingers so far into me, I cry out. I coat him with my juices almost instantly.
“You got a problem with that?” I pant when he thrusts three fingers deeper inside me.
He gives me a penetrating look as he finger-fucks me in the middle of the forest.
“No,” he says, shaking his head. “You knew I’d smell him all over you. It’s bold. I like it.” His sexy smile is back in place after a slightly terrifying moment where I thought he might reject me.
“Show me how much you want me,” I whisper to him, trembling against the tree.
He withdraws his fingers and licks them clean, his eyes never leaving mine. I whimper in response before he grabs my hips and lifts me up, shoving me back against the tree as I wrap my legs around him. He is inside me with one stroke, igniting the fire that his fingers started.
“Fuck,” he groans pounding into me, “Fuck, Lily. You feel…hot. So, so hot.”
He grabs my hands, lacing our fingers together and shoving them up above my head.
I inhale when the scent of our mingled desire hits my nostrils. “Axl,” I cry out and shudder against him as the start of my climax hits me suddenly and ferociously. “Yes!” I scream. “More!”
“Oh, I’ll give you more, sweet one,” he growls, letting go of my hands and fisting his in my hair. He grazes his fangs over the sensitive skin at my throat before he plunges them into my vein.
I scream with unadulterated pleasure.
“Harder!” I pant, meaning both his bite and his fucking me. “Harder!”
He groans and increases the pressure of his bite, slamming into me, bruising my back against the tree.
He grunts, releasing me. Snapping his fangs back, he murmurs, “You taste so fucking good, Lily. Fuck, I need you, every part of you.” He rams into me, on the verge of Vampire speed. My head goes dizzy with the pleasure and pain mix that is coursing through me. He crashes his lips against mine, swirling his tongue around my mouth, forcing me to taste my blood that coats his.
I whimper again when another orgasm washes over me. I clench around him forcefully, my pussy claiming his cock as my own. “Axl,” I whisper.
“Yes, my love. I feel it too,” he replies, burying his face into my neck, never relenting on the pounding he gives me.
I sense another prese
nce. Someone watching us. I gasp and lift my head from the tree. My eyes meet the glowing green eyes of the huge black Wolf.
Mason.
He is watching us fucking against this tree, unmoving. He bares his teeth at me, his hackles rising but still he makes no move.
His low growl is possessive, jealous and it thrills me. I come again suddenly just from being watched by him, throwing my head back again in wanton lust, feeling free and wild.
When I drop my fangs and bring my mouth to Axl’s neck, Mason has gone.
“Bite me, pet,” Axl croons. “I need to feel it.”
His hands go around to my backside as he tumbles back from the tree, still fucking me with everything that he has. I let out a little moan and slowly pierce his flesh, biting into him, finding his vein. Suckling slowly at first as his blood hits my tongue, I soon speed up, pulling viciously on him, causing him to cry out with sheer ecstasy.
“Fuck, Lily, harder, more. I need it,” he rasps.
I drag the blood out of him quicker, harder. He comes with a loud roar, his fingers digging into my ass cheeks painfully. I feel him flood me with his cum, feel his cock pumping out every last drop he has.
I draw back and kiss him, fangs still down, tearing his lips and tongue making him bleed for me.
“Sweet Jesus,” he whispers into my mouth, thrusting one last time before he goes still. “No one has ever…”
“Don’t…” I say, putting my hand over his mouth with a smile. “Don’t lie to me.”
He peels my hand away with a smirk. “Not a lie, Strawberries. No one has ever made me feel like that before. You are absolute perfection. Your bite is both harsh and sweet at the same time. Fucking you is like a revelation, one that has cleared a fog from my life that I never even knew was there. I know without a doubt in my mind that I’m falling for you.”
I shake my head. “You can’t say that. You don’t know me.”
He takes my hand and places it over his heart. “I know you, and I know I got you off like you’ve never had before,” he adds with a wicked laugh.
I can’t deny that he has a point. Sex with Lloyd is fantastic, but this was something else. With the Vampire unleashed it was feral, exciting, wild, liberating.
“You like being watched?” he asks quietly as he pulls me off his still stiff cock and places me gently on my feet.
“Hmm?” I ask with a frown.
“The Wolf. He was here…” He trails off, giving me that heated look that makes my clit twitch and beg for more.
“You creamed my cock when you knew he was watching. You like that, love? You want to be watched while I fuck you?”
I feel my cheeks heat up and I look down. “I—I…”
He tips my chin up forcing me to look into his eyes. “If it turns you on, it turns me on,” he whispers. “You have no need to be embarrassed.”
“I’m not!” I state, even though it’s a lie. I grit my teeth. “Yes, I liked it, okay? Happy?”
“Very,” he says with a chuckle and pulls his pants back up, stashing his dick away to my disappointment. “We’d better get you back inside before someone finds out you’re gone and gives me a sunrise surprise.”
I look down at my torn clothes with a grimace.
I coil my magick and blast it at myself hoping to fix them. The fabric sews itself back together in a fashion. It’s poor workmanship, but it covers my bits up, which will do for crashing back through the forest.
“Next time we do this, it will be in my bed, all night long. Your Warlock can watch us if he likes,” he says slyly. “Or is it just the Wolf that gets you going?”
“You get me going,” I say, gripping his t-shirt in my fist and dragging him towards me. “You had better make that soon, Vampire. I’m craving you already.” I kiss him quickly, then I turn with a laugh and dart off, hearing him groan and then rush up behind me to catch up.
Chapter 17
Lilith
Axl wraps his arms around me as we push the gate open. I hesitate to put the ward back up because Mason was on the outside not so long ago. He must’ve seen me disable the wards in the first place to get out.
Axl nuzzles my neck and kisses me over my pulse before he lets me go. “I’d better get back inside before sunrise,” he murmurs.
I nod and let him go, watching him disappear back into the mansion. I catch sight of Mason, in human form, lingering in the shadows, watching me.
Smiling, I turn from him to face the gate. I feel really self-conscious about him watching me now that I don’t have to have bravado in front of Axl. I close my eyes and place my hand over the ward to the side of the gate. Like pulling a curtain closed, I draw the magick back over the gate, sealing it shut with a quiet zing, that makes me cringe and hope that no one noticed.
After a few moments, I turn back around, hoping that Mason has disappeared, but no such luck. He is standing right behind me, but a few meters away, still staring at me with that intent look that feels like he is probing my soul.
“I don’t bite,” I joke lamely, trying to coax him into saying or doing something other than staring at me.
“Actually, you do,” he says quietly after a simmering pause. “Aren’t you supposed to be upstairs keeping the Warlock warm?”
I swallow, my mouth suddenly going dry. It sounds like an accusation and it rankles me. “He knows about Axl,” I state, going on the defensive. “He knows I need the Vampire.”
“I see,” he says, blinking slowly as he takes that in. “What else do you need, Lilith? What other parts of you need satisfaction?”
My cheeks heat up in the cool pre-dawn air. “Wouldn’t you like to know,” I murmur.
He moves closer, it’s a fluid movement, sudden and graceful. He is less than a meter away now. I can feel the heat coming off his skin. I know he feels the heat too; there are beads of sweat forming on his forehead. Is that from me? Or is it nerves? Or fever, perhaps. Do Wolves even get sick? My mind wanders off on a tangent to distract myself from the hot simmering air between us. I inadvertently take a step back, hitting the ward and making it squeal slightly before it recognizes me. I wince at the noise, as does he.
I lick my lips, expecting a rush of Coven members, but it remains quiet, just the two of us in this stasis of check. One more step forward and he will have me in his grasp, toppling the Queen and claiming checkmate. I can’t compete against that quiet, stillness that he has. I’m a nervous babbler and he makes me more nervous than anyone I have come across. More so than Axl did a few days ago, even when things didn’t seem so uncomfortable with Mason. I shift my shoulders slightly. The predator in me is getting wound up by the Alpha attitude Mason is exuding from every pore.
“What do you want from me?” I ask carefully.
“Is there a small part of you that is like me?” he whispers.
“What do you mean?” I croak out. I do not know what he is getting at.
“Wolf, my Queen. Do you have Wolf in you?” He edges closer to me, close enough now to reach out and tangle his fingers into my hair.
I give him a confused look as he pulls gently to tip my head back so that I have to look up at him.
“No,” I say, licking my lips. “My father is a Warlock, and my mother is a Vampire.”
“I know,” he says, “but you feel this, don’t you, Lilith?”
“Time to go inside,” my Dad’s voice sounds out suddenly from behind Mason.
I don’t know whether to be relieved or pissed off.
Wolf? It’s not possible.
Mason untangles his hand, giving me a slow smile before he turns to face my father. “Yes, sir,” he says and with the speed of the Wolf, he is off in the mansion's direction.
“Care to share why you are out here at this time of night?” Dad asks me, his eyebrow going up at the state of my dress.
I wish for the earth to open up and swallow me whole. I fold my arms across my chest. “Uhm…”
“Did you go Hunting on the outside?” he asks before I can form a
lie to be told.
“Yes,” I say with a sigh. He already knows, so there is no point in lying. “Axl and I went together. I know I shouldn’t have, or at least told someone…”
“Indeed,” he says but almost as if it doesn’t bother him one way or the other. “Go and get some rest and then visit with your Mother.” He vanishes after being cryptic once again. There is something really hinky going on right now, but I haven’t got a clue what it is. I hope my mom can sort this mess out because my head is currently swimming in all directions. I decide to take a quick nap and then head out to the cottage.
When I meander back to the mansion, I feel like I’m being watched. I cast a glance behind me, but I’m all alone.
Or am I?
A frisson of paranoia pops up, which spurs me on, making me run the rest of the way to the safety of the mansion. I get the horrible feeling deep in my gut that I’m not alone, but I can’t shake the feeling even when I get inside.
“Tired,” I mutter to convince myself. “I’ll feel better after some rest.”
I make my way back to my room, to find that Lloyd is gone to my relief. I just want to sleep now. I can’t even be bothered to take a quick shower. Stripping off my torn clothes, I fall into bed, fast asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow.
Chapter 18
Philip
I skim my hands over her soft, cool skin. I can’t get enough of touching her. She is making me lose my mind, but I don’t care. She arches her back, pushing her magnificent tits closer to me. I can’t resist bending over to take her nipple in my mouth. I suck on it gently, hearing her moan softly and run her hands into my hair to keep me close.
“Ahh,” she cries out quietly as I bite down on her peak, grinding my teeth gently, my tongue swishing over her. “Philip, please!” she begs me.
I smile wickedly against her skin. I love hearing her beg for me.
