Something worried me though. If she was betrayed again, or those she loved died, she could easily slip back into that rage and become a monster. I wasn’t worried about me, or her people doing the betraying, but there were a lot of others out in the world. I just hoped we could give her enough support that she finds her way to solid ground before it happens, because if one thing in life is sure, betrayal is inevitable.
I’ve had to fight off dark urges more than once, a fuck them all attitude that would lead me down a twisted path. It would be all too easy to lose my own restraint from using the more darker aspects of my magic if I’d lost Bell for instance. I shook my head, releasing the dark thoughts. There was a positive side as well, if we all cared and loved in a group, it would be easier to hold out against the darker side of our natures.
Much like Bell was keeping me from hunting down those bastards right now. She kept me on an even keel so I could act smart and with deliberation.
“If we can deal with the jealousy, I believe it will make us all stronger, not just us, but them as well.”
Bell smirked at me, “Easier said than done.”
I nodded thoughtfully. I wondered how Hope and Vinnie did it. I hoped we would figure it out soon. Celane had practically offered herself, and Allie and Katrina seemed open to the possibility as far as I could tell. Would they be insulted if we went elsewhere? Even avoiding the issue could be fraught with problems.
“We’ll figure it out.”
I finished helping her hang all the stuff as I thought it through. I chucked a bit, all my clothes were squeezed into a small corner of the closet, and she was taking up the rest.
We were here for two days now, normally that would mean moving on. It felt almost surreal as I found myself relaxed and walking downstairs to share dinner with a… my necromancer. I had gotten used to my enhanced speed and strength over the last couple of days as well, although when I got excited… Let’s just say it was a good thing Bell liked to be spanked hard during doggie style.
The both of us sat, Katrina and Allie were already there and Celane came in a few minutes behind us. We had a roast, with wedged potatoes, greens, and a custard pie for desert. It was a little awkward at first. It wasn’t just Bell and I being new in the group, Katrina was changing, Allie was changing and Celane was finally letting her true self out. Still, it didn’t take long to get the conversation flowing.
At first it was about tonight, and discussing different attack setups with me and Bell added to the group. She clearly expected Bell and I to act as a team while also keeping an eye on Allie and Katie. Katrina would be inside Allie, and Katie would have a couple of humans along to help her breach shields.
That should be more than enough against ten. Just our enhanced speed gave us a huge benefit.
Eventually though we branched off into other subjects. When books came up Bell and Allie dominated the conversation and bonded while the rest of us watched in amusement. I wasn’t surprised, Bell had been a voracious reader, after all she didn’t sleep and it was her favorite activity while she had watched over my sleeping form for the last fifteen years.
It didn’t surprise me at all that Allie had done the same when Katrina slept. Of course, Katrina and I got a lot of eye rolls when we discussed TV and the two of us bonded over Doctor Who. Who doesn’t like the Doctor? It looked like the two of us had work to do in gaining converts.
When dinner broke up I was startled to see we’d been talking for hours. I took the time to double check my amulets, make sure the spells on my sacrificial dagger were strong, and then tried to relax. All I could really think about though was getting revenge; giving myself time to think alone hadn’t been a good idea, so I tracked down everyone else.
When I walked in the room it went silent and four heads snapped in my direction, Allie and Katrina started giggling and blushing. Celane looked serene, but that wasn’t a surprise. I glanced at Bell who looked perfectly innocent. Lies. I had a feeling Bell had been over sharing, most likely about our sex life. So I did what any man would do in that moment, I strategically retreated.
“Going to get a beer, anyone want something?”
I ignored the laughing as I left, I really didn’t want to know. When I came back with three beers and two glasses of wine things were a bit more normal. Allie filled us in that the plane had landed and they’d rented a large van and headed northeast out of the city toward the forest.
Katrina let us know she was having the portal narrowed down to that area. Bell couldn’t take us, we’d never been to Vancouver before. She could get us anywhere we’d been, but not a new place. The gate however was more mathematical and could go somewhere new, as long as we had the coordinates.
Allie said, “They pulled over, they’re getting out and going into the woods. Should we go? I can’t imagine they’d want to walk far.”
I nodded in agreement; no one was shocked by my willingness to go now.
Katrina said, “We don’t know who the target is yet, although I guess that doesn’t matter.”
She bit her lip, “Be careful.”
Then she lay back on the couch in Celane’s lap and closed her eyes. I could feel something different about Allie, and knew Katrina was in there now. We went downstairs, not in too much of a rush. It would take a few more minutes to lock the portal on the van. I activated my shield amulets when I saw Bell surround herself with solid shadow armor. Allie and Katie also had a shield so dense it was such a dark gray most people would just call it black.
There was also a stronger concentration of magic on Allie’s hand; it looked like a void of darkness, almost an absence of all light. I pulled my dagger out and when the gate was opened we ran through. We all followed Allie and Katie, I could make out the ghosts up ahead as well, the humans hadn’t gotten very far, but then we were running extremely fast, only the thick trees slowing our pace slightly.
We stopped about fifty yards away to wait for the humans to catch up.
Allie turned to us, “I can feel it. There is another necromancer in there. He has a wolf pack. I’m going to assume that’s why he’s in the middle of nowhere. Based on the power signature he doesn’t have very many ghosts, and he has no other races but werewolf and human. I’d say it’s a good bet to say he has his place and is relatively peaceful. Aggressive necromancers aren’t that weak.”
She frowned as the obvious occurred to her and said defensively, “He hasn’t been attacked nearly as much as I have either.”
I touched her lower back and we shared a look, and she shot me a grateful smile. The humans finally caught up and without a word we moved forward as quietly as possible. None of us were at home in the woods, so we did not move very silently, we were still fifteen yards away or so when they turned toward us. We gave up any effort at stealth and charged.
I felt TK coming at me and ignored it, stabbing out as I lunged. The shield held back the knife for less than a heartbeat and I guess I was pushing too hard, because the knife went into his chest, but my arm followed. The knife exited his back, along with my clenched hand, his heart skewered on the blade. My knife took his magic and I sent all of it to my healing amulet as I turned for another.
I watched Bell backhand someone with what looked to be a gauntlet with spikes made of shadow. It obliterated his head and chunks of bone and blood splattered into a high arc. I lunged for the next one and I drove the knife in more careful of my strength this time. I pulled back when the shield snapped, I checked on the others while I sent more magic to the healing amulet.
The more the better, each life I took meant I could heal the equivalent.
I heard Bell smash her second head as I looked for Allie and Katie. Allie was standing over three dead bodies already, and Katie was taking her second. That was it, all ten were dead. My mind spun, it had been way too easy and there were only six of us. I considered how much power Katrina had left behind at the house and it just boggled the mind.
I wondered though, humans were powerful but still only had t
heir magic for a few years. When they learned to truly focus it, like Bell’s solid shadow, or my dagger, or Katrina’s solidified death magic, what would happen then?
Hopefully the ones that reach that level of power will be more enlightened than these animals.
Allie sighed, “Let’s go, I talked to him through one of my ghosts, he’s grateful but nervous. He’ll be happier when we are off his land.”
Instead of walking back to the road, we were surrounded by Bell’s shadows and taken directly to the basement shower room. It had a row of shower stalls and large drains on the ground. I shrugged and started taking my clothes off, it was better than getting blood all over the house. I looked up to see three pairs of eyes watching me as they too stripped. I looked them over too, obviously so, and then I winked and walked over to the shower.
The showers down here were great; a really powerful stream of water to slough off the blood and anything else that might have gotten on us. After the shower I took one last look at Allie, and then Bell and I headed up to our room. Katie was very cute too, but she was a total bitch from what everyone said and I really wasn’t interested at all. Besides her attitude being a turn off, that would cause problems.
When we got to our door Bell stopped and turned around, and put her hand on my chest. She kissed me softly and searched my eyes for a moment before smiling mysteriously.
Bell said, “Wait out here for a moment.”
I was naked outside of the towel around my waist but didn’t even think about saying no. As I waited I imagined all the lingerie outfits she had tried on. At least I hoped that’s what this was about, why else make me wait outside?
She called me and with some effort I kept my mouth from dropping open when I walked in the room. She was in white lingerie, top and bottom with a sheer white negligee, she looked stunning. What had surprised me however, was lying beside her in the bed in a provocative pose, wearing the same outfit but in light blue, was Katrina…
She had a tentative smile on her face and she looked heart stopping gorgeous. Her hair was artfully arranged around her and the light blue really set off the colors of her long and shiny strawberry blonde hair.
I looked toward Bell again and heard in my mind, “Go ahead my love. I want to watch you take her, and then I’ll join you both. But be gentle at first, you are the first man she’s lain with in her own body.”
I released the towel, revealing my already half hard length as I walked toward the bed and joined them. Realizing I hadn’t said anything yet I finally spoke.
“You both look beautiful,” I said simply but with feeling.
I caressed Katrina’s face and felt her hand tentatively explore the cut of my muscles on my chest and abdomen as I slowly leaned in. She smelled divine as she leaned toward me, meeting me in the middle as our lips joined. Her natural scent wasn’t overwhelmed by the slight scent of strawberries, her skin felt like silk beneath my fingertips as I slid them from her cheek to her neck, and around to the back of her neck as we deepened the kiss.
I gasped as I felt her roaming hand moved down and around me, lightly stroking me. She moaned into my mouth, and I felt my cock jump in her hand as she nipped my lip and squeezed me a little tighter. I roamed my hands down her body, teasing her breasts with light touches I continued down.
She moaned deeply into my mouth and kissed me harder as I slipped my hand inside her panties and cupped her pleasure. She was already ready for me, moist, puffy, and very slick. I parted her gently with a fingertip and slid inside. She gasped and her hand stopped moving on my length as I pushed down lightly on her clit as I slid in and out. I broke the kiss and started down her neck, kissing toward her chest as I pleasured her with my fingertips.
The bra and panties were really beautiful, but I wanted to see below them. I unsnapped her bra, pushing it off her shoulders. I felt Bell move and knew she was taking it off of Katrina, but leaving the sheer negligee on. Her breasts were supple C cups, creamy white skin and her nipples were a dark pink. I just stared at them for a moment, continuing to pleasure her sex with my fingertips.
I lifted the negligee out of the way and kissed and softly sucked on the underside of her breasts, slowly working my way around her sensitive flesh, spiraling up toward her nipple. Based on her many mewls of pleasure, and her arching back I knew she was extremely sensitive, there would be no pulling, pinching, or biting on my part.
I brushed my lips softly across her hardened nipples and then softly sucked it into my mouth before circling it gently with my tongue.
“Oh god that’s incredible, don’t stop!” Katrina said breathily.
She arched her back again, pushing her core into my hand and her breast into my face. She gasped as I let her breast go and moved to the other while picking up speed with my fingers. My manhood was rock hard and against her silken leg. Bell had been right; this was more than just sex. I was feeling very tender and protective toward Katrina as I brought her to bliss, almost in awe that she would share her beautiful body with me and the rest of her as well. I was her first, of a sort.
I felt her body start to tremble as she cried out, “Don’t sto…” her breath cutting off mid word.
I stayed away from her nipples and her clit, but kept kissing the flesh around it, and working my fingers in and out of her grasping hot wet center as she reached explosive rapturous bliss.
When she came down she said softly, “My god that was…” she trailed off.
I smiled and kissed her, then whispered, “That was just the foreplay.”
Her eyes widened a little at that but she smiled, “I want you in me,” she said almost shyly.
I pushed up from the bed by one hand, reached down grabbing myself to line up. I started to tease her, running the tip up and down her now soaked and creamed labia. I pushed slowly forward, she was very tight, so tight I was going extra slow, giving her time to open to me. But apparently I was being to gentle, because she bucked up into me, taking half of me inside her in a second.
Her eyes widened as she gasped, “You’re so big.”
I smiled and kissed her softly, “No Kat, you’re tight, I’m not all in yet.”
Her eyes went wide again as I pushed forward, gaining another inch, then another. She looked like she was balanced between pain and pleasure; I reached down and grazed her clit with my thumb. When she relaxed a little I pushed in the last couple of inches. After that I kissed her, caressing her face and hair.
She was so tight, warm and soft around my invading pleasure. I felt like I was engulfed in the softest silk and velvet. I filled her perfectly, and eventually her walls stopped undulating and fluttering against me, her tight body was ready. When the time seemed right I started to rock slowly, in very short strokes.
She lifted her legs and wrapped them around me, “I’m ready, now fuck me… please,” the last word was a begging question. I was lost in her bright green eyes and the tone of her voice for a moment.
I kissed her and whispered, “My pleasure and whenever you wish.”
Despite what she said I gradually increased both the speed and length of my strokes, watching her reactions carefully. It wasn’t long until I was I was creating rapturous wet silken friction as I stroked fast and hard in and out of her young nubile body. She seemed to be lost in the pleasure of it at first, but then her body started to buck up slightly as she arched her back to meet me.
I was so lost in the feeling of joining with Katrina that it was a surprise when I felt Bell’s hand start to caress and push my ass, as if she was helping me push into Katrina.
Katrina arched her back and stayed that way, as her body trembled and her milking sex grabbed my invader in a vise grip of velvety pleasure. She looked so sexy as she came for me. She was so tight I had to shorten my stroke to almost nothing, trying to extend her orgasm. That’s when I lost control.
I grunted, “Kat…” and felt my body pump essence into her womb as I reached blissful ecstasy.
We kissed softly for a moment after catchi
ng our breath, before I rolled off to the side.
Bell joined us then, first kissing me, and then kissing Katrina. I lay on my side and watched, it would be my turn until I recovered. They were both so beautiful and sexy together.
Bell whispered in her ear, Katrina blushed but nodded, her face filled with desire. I watched as Bell turned her body around and lowered her heat onto Katrina’s tongue, as she put her head between Katrina’s legs. I felt my cock stir as I realized she was eating Katrina’s and my combined cum, and looked to really be enjoying it.
Bell said in my mind, “Do you want my ass love?”
We hadn’t done that yet, and I wondered if she was offering now out of jealousy, to show that she was all mine and loved me, or simply because having a tongue pleasuring her at the same time would help balance out the initial burn. I was however enough of a guy to put off the talk we should have until later… much later.
I sent to Bell, “If you’re sure, I’d love to.”
I saw shadows swirl on the bed next to me, and saw a small tube of KY appear. I was taking that as she was sure, and crawled around to the back of her body. I smiled down at Katrina as I watched her pleasure Bell, I’d enjoy watching that as I got her ready. I squeezed some KY out onto my fingers and slid them down the crack of her ass, teasing her puckered star open with a fingertip. It was going to be a long night…
Chapter 12 – Katrina
I woke up slowly, with something very hard resting between my ass cheeks. Last night was incredible; I don’t know why I’d been so nervous. Jeremy was a gentle and giving lover, and knew exactly when to get a little rough. I wasn’t sure if he figured out we’d been planning this when he walked in on us. Bell had convinced me she was okay with it; I hoped she was telling the truth.
Regardless, the orgasm he’d given me was the most intense in my life, then when Bell started feeding my mind went completely blank with the pleasure of it. It finally occurred to me that Jeremy was spooning me still. Did he hold me all night?
