“It’s just so fun because he can’t see me and you can.”
“I don’t think you’ll find it fun when I get hold of you,” Zotikos threatened in a menacing voice.
Greg paled and disappeared from the room. A moment later he popped back in. “I’ll tell Conlin you’re fine. You are, right?”
“Yes, I am. Tell him I’ll see him tomorrow evening,” Darrin replied in a frustrated tone.
Satisfied, Greg disappeared from the room.
“Does he pop in near you very often?” If so he’d have to place a shield around the house that would prevent the spirit from entering at will.
“No. He’s attached to Conlin. Tristan had trouble with him at first. Now Tristan has given Greg his own rooms on the lower floor with the understanding that if they have a lot of guests he’ll have to share or hang out in the great room.”
I bet Tristan did have problems with Greg. That would have been interesting to watch. At least Greg wasn’t going to be a regular problem for him.
“Who are you two talking about?” Pierce asked after he swallowed his last bite of steak.
“My brother, Conlin, has a ghost attached to him. He worries about us. He just popped in to check on me.” Darrin left out the part about Greg being excited because Pierce couldn’t see him.
“That’s nice in a way. It’s hard for me to picture him since I can’t see him.” Pierce got up and looked around. “Where do we put our dishes? Sink or dishwasher?”
“Dishwasher.” Zotikos got up and took Darrin’s plate with him. He went to the dishwasher and opened the door then quickly placed their dishes in and held his hand out for Pierce’s plate and then put it in the machine. “Get some juice while Darrin and I have some Blood Moon Wine,” he told Pierce. With drinks in hand they sat back down at the table so they could easily see each other.
“Do you guys always need so much blood?” Pierce glanced at their glasses and touched his neck.
“No. Well, he needs more than me because he’s so young. Right now with the mating heat driving us to bond, we need all the control we can get.” He looked at Pierce’s forehead. “How did you get the stitches?”
His mate raised his hand to his forehead and lightly touched the healing wound. “I had a run-in with some people that want me dead. I saw them again tonight, but they didn’t leave any scars this time. They didn’t add any to Darrin this time either.”
“Are they the same ones who cut your face?” Anger started heating his blood. Whoever was after his mates was going to die. No one attacked them and lived.
“Did you get a chance to talk about the attacks we’ve been looking into with Tristan, Caleb, and Drake before I busted in?” Darrin asked.
“No. I’d just gotten there a few minutes before you arrived. I’d met Conlin and was starting to tell them about my stay with the elder elves,” Zotikos answered. He had a feeling he wasn’t going to like what Darrin had to say. His blood simmered.
A look for relief passed over Darrin’s face. “You are the same Zotikos Tristan and the others talk about. I thought so, but you never know. You can’t be the only person on the planet with your name.”
“I’m lost. Darrin is the only person I know pretty well. You’re a friend of the Wyckoff brothers who saved my life, right?” Pierce asked.
“Yes, I’ve known them for a very long time,” he answered. His poor human mate was confused. Now that the mating heat had cooled for a bit, Pierce was having doubts. Soon those doubts and fears would dissolve. “What about these attacks? I need to know everything.”
“We ran into this group for the first time a year ago when they tried to kill me and Conlin. Tristan was royally pissed by the time he caught up with us.” Darrin shifted guiltily in his chair.
“Why did he have to catch up with you?” he asked. Something was up.
Darrin blushed. “We had some trouble and thought it best we leave the Wyckoffs’.”
“After the mating?” he boomed. The thought was horrible. Mates never separated.
“Yes, but at the time we didn’t know Conlin couldn’t physically leave Tristan. It was a confusing time. What matters now is that we killed as many of the humans as possible. If Tristan and his group hadn’t shown up to finish them off we would have died. Something is wrong with these humans. They chant must kill and they don’t give up. Every one fights to the death.” Darrin’s face and emotions were filled with confusion.
“That’s not human nature. They must be under a spell,” he thought out loud.
“That’s what we are all thinking. We know they go after good-hearted people. They’ve already tried to kill me and Pierce a couple of times. Because of Pierce we know the being is casting a shielding spell over itself.”
“Huh? I didn’t say that,” Pierce said.
Darrin blushed again. “Whit and Parker weren’t reading your lips. They were reading your mind.”
Pierce shook his head in denial.
“I couldn’t tell you before because you didn’t know about us. Now you’re one of us,” Darrin apologized to Pierce in an effort to calm their mate.
It wasn’t working. Pierce was struggling with all this new information. “I’ll look into it and see what the Wyckoffs have found out about your attackers.”
“We’ll do all we can as well. We are tired of them coming after us and others. Isn’t that right, Pierce?” Darrin asked.
“You’ll stay where you’re safe,” he ordered his mates roughly. There was no way he was going to let these young ones get in harm’s way again. Their scars proved that their enemy was strong compared to them. He shuddered at the thought of losing them.
“We’re not kids. Trust me, if we were, we’d be dead by now,” Pierce pointed out.
Zotikos could feel his possessive side rearing up. “No, you’re not kids, but you are mine.”
“I didn’t sign on any dotted line!” Pierce snapped.
“You openly agreed to the mating. That means more than signing on the dotting line,” Zotikos stated firmly. His sight heightened. He was sure that meant the flecks in his eyes were glowing. High emotion did that to mated elves. He hoped it didn’t scare them too much. It was part of him and they were going to have to get used to it.
Darrin’s eyes widened when he looked into Zotikos’s eyes. His vampire mate turned to their human mate. “Pierce, you can’t back out now. He can track you. You’re part of him and he’s part of me.” Darrin took Pierce’s face in his hands. “Look at me, man. We’ve been talking for nine months. I won’t do anything that will hurt you.” Darrin’s eyes flashed red as he stared into Pierce’s eyes.
“You’re trying to compel Pierce, but it won’t work on him because he’s your mate,” he pointed out to his flustered vampire mate.
Darrin jumped and covered his eyes with his hands. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to do that. I’ve only done it twice. I didn’t realize I was doing it, I swear.”
The young vamp’s innocence was very endearing. “Everything will work itself out,” he encouraged his mates.
Darrin removed his hands from his eyes and looked into Pierce’s doubtful eyes. “I need you. Please give us a chance. Don’t judge us too quickly. We’re just people with more strength and skills than humans.” Darrin’s eyes started flashing red again as he desperately tried to talk their mate into staying and accepting them.
Zotikos cringed inwardly when painful memories flooded Pierce’s mind. The man took a shaky breath. Pierce closed his eyes. The pictures were vivid in Zotikos’s mind. A big fist punching Pierce in the face repeatedly. The words stupid freak being shouted and nobody wants you. Pierce barely able to get out of bed the day after the beating. Several different people appeared in different flashes of memory, asking Pierce to put on a dress and be normal. The scene shifted to people shunning Pierce in public and loudly whispering that he was a freak of nature, surely of the devil. Worst of all was the people that looked like Pierce telling him to leave. That he was dead to them. Pain echoed in
his heart as Pierce relived all those bad times.
Loneliness followed as Pierce gave up and focused on living and then on his business. Then Darrin’s voice whispered through Pierce and his mate’s heart lightened.
Pierce looked from one to the other of them and then said, “You know I’ve never had sex with anyone because I’m considered a freak of nature by most of the people where I came from.”
“You’re not a freak. You’re a beautiful person,” Darrin said gently.
Zotikos nodded his agreement. People could be so cruel. It just wasn’t right.
“You guys are different and awesome. Humans wouldn’t see it that way, though. I understand how painful it is to have people judge you without knowing you at all. Since I can’t do that to another person, I have to give you two a chance.” He stopped and grinned as he touched his chest. “My heart wouldn’t let me do anything else. Just go easy on me. I’m new to this.”
His heart ached as their emotions and his rolled around within him. From heartache to confusion to hope to lust, add in his anger at those who’d hurt them, and he was having a little trouble staying calm himself. Something he was usually very good at. They were throwing him off his game. As he looked at them, he didn’t care at all. The pair was quickly getting under his skin in a good way. He could use a challenge.
Lust started shooting fireworks off in his groin. The mating heat was coming back.
* * * *
Darrin watched as Zotikos started to glow again. “What’s with the light coming off you? I love it, I’m just curious.” He felt like a slow child for asking so many questions. In the supernatural world he was a baby and so was Pierce. Every question he asked benefited both of them.
“The glow is a sign of the elf in me. Now that I’m mated I will do this when I’m healing or very emotionally charged. Right now lust for my mates is driving me. Stand,” the vamp-mix ordered.
He and Pierce jumped to their feet. Something about Zotikos made him want to please and submit to the powerful man.
Zotikos stood and walked to them. Darrin licked his lips after looking at the man’s jutting cock and Pierce’s swollen, wet groin. He wanted them both so bad that fire was shooting through his erection.
“We’re going to take you at the same time, Pierce,” Zotikos stated and then reached out and stroked Pierce’s elongated clit. “So beautiful. It’s so big I think of it as a small cock. It even has a little crown.”
Darrin agreed, “I think of it as a short steely rod. I can’t wait to suck it. Do you mind if we call it a small cock?” He hoped not, because that’s what he saw when he looked between Pierce’s masculine legs.
“No. I actually like it. To me it is my cock.” Pierce groaned when Zotikos pushed the soft hood back and stroked the sensitive flesh.
“Damn, that’s hot. Your little rod must extend at least two inches past your hood,” Zotikos said in awe.
“One and three-quarters,” Pierce panted the answer.
One and three-quarters! Darrin felt the heat take over. He had to suck Pierce’s minicock.
Zotikos started glowing brighter and Pierce was starting to shake.
“Move to the couch. Pierce, sit down with your butt on the edge so Darrin can eat you and get you loosened up for us.” Zotikos’s order was in a passion-roughened voice.
When Pierce sat down and spread his legs, Darrin thought his heart was going to stop. The sight was so beautiful. His body moved without him even thinking about it. As soon as he was in front of Pierce, he dropped to his knees and sniffed. Pierce’s arousal saturated the air, making his cock weep happily.
“Darrin, don’t get so absorbed in his little cock that you forget to loosen his ass up, because that’s where your dick is going to be in a few minutes,” Zotikos reminded.
“Got it.” He spread Pierce’s legs a little wider and guided the man’s heels to his shoulders.
“What are you going to do?” Pierce asked Zotikos. His sizzling brown gaze dropped to Zotikos’s swollen shaft.
“Have you relieve the pressure in my balls by giving me a blow job. Can you do that, my human?”
“Hell yes. Bring it on,” Pierce taunted with a hungry look in his brown eyes.
He watched as Zotikos climbed onto the couch and straddled Pierce. The man guided his big cock up to Pierce’s lips and slid it in the second Pierce opened his mouth. Pierce’s arousal floated to his nostrils. His groan echoed theirs when his tongue slipped into Pierce’s wet folds and his lover’s spicy flavor washed over his taste buds. He growled and rammed his tongue into his lover’s front entrance. His strong tongue delved deep. Pierce’s delicious essence was driving the beast in him insane.
As he repeatedly thrust into Pierce, he looked up. Groaning, he watched Zotikos’s dick enter and exit Pierce’s mouth. The wildness in him couldn’t resist adding to Pierce’s pleasure. The next time Zotikos’s shaft disappeared between Pierce’s lips, he slid a finger into his lover’s ass. He was rewarded with a shudder that shook Pierce’s whole body. Their human groaned around Zotikos’s erection and bucked his hips.
Sliding another finger into Pierce’s rear opening, he hummed with satisfaction when the man gasped around the cock filling his mouth and shuddered. Zotikos grabbed Pierce’s head and started deeply fucking their mate’s mouth. Their erotic moans were making his groin throb. Zotikos’s body tightened as he closed in on paradise. Pushing Pierce over the edge dominated his thoughts. With his free hand, he slid back the folds of flesh that were partially covering Pierce’s petite cock. He couldn’t stop the moan that erupted from his chest the moment he sucked Pierce’s hard flesh into his mouth.
Pierce gave off a muffled scream and his entire body convulsed as he came. Hot liquid ran from the man’s front opening and coated Darrin’s fingers as they slowly slid in and out of Pierce’s rear entrance. Desire spiked in him when Zotikos thrust deep one more time, threw his head back, and yelled as he released his load into Pierce’s mouth. His own cock begged for relief as he lightly lapped at Pierce’s swollen flesh. The small tremors randomly shooting through his lovers was making his own fire burn brighter.
Zotikos took a last shuddering breath and pulled out of Pierce’s mouth with a pop. Blue eyes locked with his. “Get ready to lube Pierce’s ass with your cum,” Zotikos said as he turned around and straddled Pierce backwards.
Not sure what was going on but instinctively trusting his experienced mate, Darrin licked Pierce’s dewy folds one more time and then eased Pierce’s feet to the edge of the couch. He then rose to his knees which lined his erection up with Pierce’s entrances.
The diamonds in Zotikos’s eyes glittered and fangs burst through the vamp’s gums. Darrin cried out when Zotikos struck quick as lightning. A stab of pain pierced his neck right before bliss like he’d never known ricocheted within his groin. His balls pulled tight and his shaft throbbed mercilessly. Zotikos drew in another drink and spasms of ecstasy rocketed his semen up his dick and all over the junction of Pierce’s thighs. His body shook and he couldn’t stop moaning.
Fuck, no wonder Pierce seems to love Zotikos’s bite. His vampire lover growled possessively as he drew his next drink, and Darrin came again. The animal in Zotikos was a scary aphrodisiac. He quivered when Zotikos retracted his fangs and licked Darrin’s neck for a full minute, sending one tremor after the next through his body.
When the waves stopped, he was surprised to see that his and Zotikos’s cocks were both still hard. His gaze dropped to the glistening space between Pierce’s legs. Seeing his seed splashed over Pierce’s entrance and trimmed curls had the beast in him rearing to plunge his cock and fangs deeply into his human mate.
Zotikos looked at him and said the words that Darrin now knew would stop his fangs from coming out. The beast in him was pissed. Zotikos stroked his cheek, and Darrin felt the animal instantly calm. The human in him was thankful that Zotikos was powerful enough to control the beast in him. The last thing he wanted to do was hurt one of his mates. Pleasure was
all they should feel.
Climbing off the couch, Zotikos looked them over with glittering blue eyes. He reached out and stroked Darrin’s hard shaft and then his own. He’d had to hold back another load releasing from his penis when Zotikos’s rough hand caressed his stiff flesh.
“Are you ready to go again?” Zotikos asked, his eyes glowing brighter.
* * * *
“Yes. I’m always ready to go after about a minute recovery time. It’s been more than a minute. The faster you two get inside me the better,” Pierce answered passionately. Damn, he was hot. He felt like he was going to die if his partners didn’t ravenously take him soon.
“We can handle that, Pierce. Darrin is barely restraining his beast and mine is past ready to eat you up.” Zotikos answered Pierce’s thoughts out loud.
His own burning desire was clawing at his insides. It wanted to give them a ride they’d never forget. “Do it,” he ordered as the wild desire took over.
“Get up,” Zotikos commanded in just as fierce a voice as Pierce had used.
Zotikos lay down on the couch and held his huge cock out. “Straddle me, my human. I want to feel you come all over me.” A wicked gleam entered Zotikos’s eyes.
Needing them severely, he climbed on top of Zotikos and guided the large, purple cockhead into his front opening and dropped down. Zotikos groaned and raised his hips as his hands clamped down on Pierce’s hips. Pierce couldn’t hold back his own groan when Zotikos forced the last inch in and then settled back onto the couch. The big cock inside him filled him to capacity. Thinking of each delicious inch had him shivering in delight. His ass clenched and relaxed, reminding him of the empty space that still needed to be filled.
“Darrin, make us complete,” he told his more timid lover. If this relationship was permanent, he hoped Darrin learned to overcome his sexually shy side. Then again, dominating the man was satisfying as well. A wave of lust sluiced through his body causing him to groan and grind into Zotikos. The thick cock inside him felt great, but he needed more.
“Darrin, I need you,” he panted. Heat enveloped him. Looking down at the lover beneath him, he saw that Zotikos was starting to glow brighter. The sight shot another wave of lust through him.
