Blood Bound

by V. J. Devereaux

  “Yes,” she said. “Love you…both of you.”

  Taking a breath, Julian nodded. “You have to drink from us, Rafi. Both of us.”

  Just the thought of it sent a rush of pleasure through him. He wished they could’ve done this properly but there was always later. If this worked. There was a chance it might not.

  Knowing what was needed, one of his people handed him a pocketknife.

  Rafi blinked in confusion, her lovely blue eyes widening, her lips parting on a gasp of surprise.

  It was enough.

  Quickly, Nico nicked Julian’s jugular and Julian raised her to press her mouth against his throat, against the wound there, his hand cradling her head. With her mouth against it, she had no choice except to swallow. Julian felt her lips move on his throat and a shot of heat speared deep into his groin. If this had been done properly, they would have pleasured her for hours and then taken her afterwards. Somehow, oddly, given who she was, this was more appropriate. She was their Rafi, their cop.

  Julian’s blood gushed into Rafi’s mouth, hot and warm, whether she wanted to take it or not.

  As the taste of him filled her, she suddenly found she did want it, wanted him, craved the taste of him as it filled her. That first mouthful sent an incredible rush of desire and astonishing pleasure through her, nearly blinding in its intensity. He didn’t taste coppery but potent, rich, so strong, like a well-aged scotch. Magnificent. Heady. It was no wonder she loved him so much.

  She slid a hand around his neck to savor him, the feel of his powerful body against hers. Beneath her hand, she could feel the strong muscles of his chest, his smooth satiny skin.

  Julian. Her strong, proud Julian.

  Her mouth closed on him as she fed, sucking weakly at first and then with greater strength.

  Julian’s mind went blank as incredible pleasure burst through him. He’d never felt anything like it. He lost himself in it. Delirious, he thought he’d lost his mind, as well. Pleasure washed through him in waves as Rafi’s mouth drew on him. It was like a seemingly endless orgasm. His cock went rigid, his body went tight, quivering. Curling his arms around Rafi more tightly, he pressed her mouth against his throat to lose himself more deeply in the feel of it on him. In all his long life he’d never done this with any other. Now he was glad he hadn’t.

  Nico steadied them, his arms around them. Julian wished it could go on forever but Nico hadn’t had enough time to fully recover either and Rafi needed to be joined to Nico as well. She belonged to both of them.

  With an effort, Julian fought, strained for control and said, “Enough, Rafi, lick it so it will close, as you’ve seen us do.”

  Obediently, she did.

  He shivered at the touch of her tongue sliding over his skin.

  “Julian,” she whispered, licking her lips to taste him on them. “So lovely.”

  Her words swept through him and his cock stiffened even more. It made him shudder with ecstasy to see her lick the last taste of him from her lips. He wanted to make love to her nearly desperately.

  Instead he passed her to Nico, who curled her into his arms with her mouth close to his throat, smiling in anticipation.

  Julian started to say something, to warn him, but there was no way to prepare Nico for what he was about to experience, if it was anything like to what he had.

  Cupping Rafi’s head in his hand, Nico nodded to Julian and turned his own head to expose his throat.

  Julian nicked it and Nico swiftly put Rafi’s mouth to the wound.

  A moment and then Nico shivered. His cousin’s eyes drifted closed and Julian knew Nico understood completely.

  No encouragement was necessary. Having learned her lesson from him, Rafi’s mouth closed on Nico’s throat and she drew on him, one long, slow mouthful, her eyes closed in bliss.

  The sensation of it took Nico like a brilliant burst of light, like lightning, glorious and vivid, just like his Rafi, their Rafaela. Nothing in his life had ever felt so good. Enraptured, he trembled with pleasure as she suckled at him, pressing her mouth against him so she would take more. A part of him wanted her to drink from him forever, ecstasy quivering in his gut, tugging deep, making his dick as hard as steel. He wanted to take her, to join with Julian to make love to her.

  He knew he couldn’t. Not this time. Not here. There would be other opportunities now that they were hers.

  “Lick it closed, Rafi,” Nico said, nearly begging her to do it.

  Her lips curved in a smile against his throat and he fell in love with her all over again. Her tongue slipped lightly over his throat and he nearly came from that alone.

  Nico shivered. This was Nico, her beloved Nico.

  Rafi loved him as completely as she did Julian. The hot warm taste of him filled her, slightly sweet, as creamy as an excellent sherry or Irish cream. Warm, wonderful and delicious. She feasted on the taste of him.

  Obediently, she did as she was told.

  Carefully, Julian lifted the wadded compress from the wound. All that remained of it was a puckered mark to show where the bullet had struck her. Bending his head, he kissed it, then looked at her.

  Cradled now in their arms, Rafi looked up at them. Color bloomed in her cheeks, her eyes looked less hollow, less drawn. Already the change was taking place.

  It was good to be King, sometimes.

  The sirens closed, came to a stop. Car doors opened and closed. Spotlights lit the building.

  Sid Barnes strode to the doorway, holding his badge up so those outside could see it.

  “Barnes, Metro PD, coming out,” he shouted.

  Rafi took a breath, all her nerves alive and sparking it seemed.

  Julian and Nico rose to their feet, each offering her a hand to bring her to her feet as well.

  Rafi sighed. “My Captain is going to love this.”

  Chapter Fourteen

  The Captain hadn’t liked it, in fact he’d been furious. Rafi had gone way off the reservation, taking Sasha and Sid Barnes with her. It had been sheer luck, he’d said, that it had come out the way it had. He had no idea how true that was.

  Rafi had faced demotion at best, being removed from the force at worst…until the various law enforcement agencies started to put the pieces together.

  With Holbrooke’s modus operandi established from his attack on Julian and Nico, they’d been able to tie him to the six known dead and more. From papers in Holbrooke’s room, they learned Holbrooke had been working himself and his people up to similar attacks across the country. Given the precarious state of paranormal affairs, with many still uneasy at their presence, it would have been disastrous. It had taken Rafi’s involvement with Julian and Nico to catch him. The paranormal community was extremely grateful, especially the various leaders of the vampire community. Including Julian.

  Firing her then would have been political suicide.

  Instead, they’d give her a medal. And some time off. Which she was now thoroughly enjoying.

  Sunlight bathed her skin in warmth as Julian’s lips touched the small puckered scar below and just beneath her breasts. It was a weekend so the servants had the time off. She, Julian and Nico had the entire house to themselves.

  Nico was living out his fantasy and Rafi was happy to oblige.

  She was awash in sensation, bound with silk scarves by her wrists and ankles to one of the large cedar chaises on the terrace. The sweet scent of summer was all around her while Julian and Nico played with her. The scarves were all she wore, they were all any of them wore. Warm sun drenched them as well, Julian magnificent in his nakedness, Nico beautiful.

  Rafi had never dared to dream of anything like this.

  Slowly Nico slid a slender well-lubricated bullet up her ass where it hummed inside her maddeningly. Her pussy flexed around another. Nico did like his toys. She whimpered as he teased her clit with a vibrator until she trembled. Warming lubricant only made the sensations more intense.

  Julian licked and sucked at her nipple, slid his tongue around h
er aureole, nibbled at the taut tip while he plumped and caressed her other breast with his free hand. He pinched that tender nub, tugged at it.

  He loved this. Nothing else mattered but Rafi and Nico. They loved toying with her, finding new ways of pleasuring her. Each time made the next that much better.

  The remote controlled bullets slowly increased the speed of their vibrations as Nico dialed them up. Rafi went beyond thought. There was only the pleasure that built inside her until body wound tight with need. A soft mouth replaced the vibrator at her clit. Nico, she knew that touch. His tongue slipped and slid over her or sucked lightly at that sensitized bud until her thighs and belly twitched to each delicate touch to her heated flesh.

  Fangs scraped over the delicate skin of her wrist, a warm mouth closed. She felt the sharp prick just before those teeth pierced. She jolted with pleasure as Julian suckled lightly, tasting her.

  “Not yet,” he pronounced, licking her wrist to close the small wounds. The soft brush of his tongue was as arousing as the rest.

  “Julian,” she whispered, almost in a wail.

  The bullet in her ass slid out, to be replaced by a thick, freshly lubed vibrator. Nico slid the device in slowly as his tongue toyed with her clit. She groaned as the wand filled her ever more deeply and the speed of its motion increased. He stroked his fingers up her thigh, the touch ephemeral, tantalizing as he toyed with the delicate tissues of her lower lips. Then two fingers slid inside her, to play with the bullet as his mouth returned to tormenting her clit.

  Despite all her efforts not to, Rafi cried out, her body straining against her bonds.

  “Getting there, though,” Julian said, approvingly, considering it.

  Nico’s fingers slipped out of her. She whimpered in protest but larger fingers replaced them as Nico moved away, licking his lips in anticipation as he brushed his lips over her other wrist.

  As Julian’s head lowered between her thighs to suckle at the tender bud between them he toyed with the bullet vibrating inside her.

  Rafi thought she’d go blind with pleasure and then she felt Nico’s lips brush over her wrist. His tongue flicked, tasting her. Teasing her.

  She looked at him. As their eyes met she knew he’d been waiting just for just that. Slowly, deliberately, he bit down and sucked deeply. Something about watching that, watching his brown eyes looking into hers as he did it sent another jolt through her.

  Pleasure shot through her along with the pain and she arched.

  Her gaze was locked on his she watched him lift his head and savor the taste of her, his eyes closing as he moaned with the pleasure of it. She almost came just at that.

  It might have been a signal.

  She felt the butterfly stimulator close on her clit and the vibrators switch to full power as both Julian and Nico battened on her wrists almost as one. Brief pain and then intense pleasure shot through her. Ecstasy blinded her as her orgasm exploded through her from the butterfly stimulating her clit as Julian and Nico feasted. Her body bowed and went rigid, trembling. She cried out in bliss as they drank, slowly, savoring her, drawing out her pleasure until she thought she’d lose her mind. It seemed to go on forever, that orgasm, her heart pounding wildly as it washed through her in waves.

  The taste of Rafi’s pleasure in Julian’s mouth was better than the finest wine, almost effervescent and Julian reveled in the rich heady taste of her. He let her fill him, heart and soul, he breathed the scent of it and her in, filled himself with her.

  All the rough edges, the fears and fury of the last few days washed away.

  He let out as sigh, as he lifted his mouth from her, still savoring the taste of her in his mouth, and looked at color of her pleasure, the soft blush of ecstasy wash through her skin. Her lovely eyes were closed, her body taut as Nico fed.

  Rapt in the taste of her, of their beloved Rafi, Nico just drew her in, a mouthful at a time as he increased the speed on the butterfly until she whimpered, her body shuddering helplessly. Her pleasure was glorious to feel…and taste. He rolled that taste on his tongue, his cock hot and hard. It would grow harder. He couldn’t wait to fill her, to fuck her. They’d come far too close to losing her, now he couldn’t get enough of her. She went limp, eyelids fluttering as her orgasm slowly let her go.

  Delighted, Nico lifted his head.

  With the toys still inside her, he and Julian released her from her silken bonds while she trembled and quivered.

  Julian stroked a hand over her heated skin, tweaked her taut nipples. She murmured, opening her eyes a little and he smiled to see them hazed with pleasure, her lids fluttering.

  He looked to Nico, who smiled as Julian flicked the butterfly gently. Nico worked the vibrator in her ass around a little. Rafi cried out softly, her body tightening again, trembling. She looked up at them past heavy lids.

  Julian could feel her blood rush through him, filling him, thickening his cock even further.

  With a smile, he gathered her up.

  “I love you,” he said, as he cradled her close. “This time we’ll do it right.”

  Nico nicked the vein in Julian’s throat with a little silver blade.

  This time there was no need to coax her. Her lips moved and she sucked, drew on him with a moan.

  Dazed as she was with pleasure, Rafi remembered. The taste of Julian seemed to explode through her, strong and rich, as potent as the finest whiskey. In an instant, it was as if she were drunk on him. Heat raced through her veins, to every inch of her body, and with it, intense desire.

  She loved Julian, loved Nico, with an force that made her heart pound. She wanted him, she wanted them with an intensity that belied the fact they’d just rendered her limp and trembling. Sliding her hands up into Julian’s thick hair, she drew him closer, stroked the silken strands.

  If Julian had thought the sensation of Rafi drinking from him had been intense before, it was nothing to this. He jolted as a burst of pure ecstasy shot through him, his cock turning as hard as iron it seemed. Her caress nearly broke his heart, her hands gentle as she held him.

  With an effort, his body yearning for release, he drew her mouth away. It had to be both of them, all of them.

  Even so, it took all his control to keep from taking her then and there.

  Instead, he kissed her, softly, then turned her toward Nico.

  Their eyes met, his, hers and his cousin’s, and Nico nodded with a smile.

  Nico placed the blade in Julian’s hand as Rafi reached up to cup his cheek. The tenderness of that gesture as Julian nicked his throat was no comparison to the incredible sensation of her mouth closing on it. Nico shuddered his pleasure, more so as she moaned, and not just at his taste. Julian was slowly removing the bullet and vibrator. Her mouth locked on his throat as she clung to him, trembling.

  He tightened his arms around her as he lowered her to the chaise, his own need making his rigid cock throb. In all his life he’d never wanted a woman like this, but then, Rafi was their true mate, something they’d never hoped to find.

  Rafi’s head spun as the taste of him filled her, as his sweet taste, his more subtle warmth spread within her. Sweet delicious pleasure washed through her, each wave more intense.

  Her pussy ached with need, she wanted desperately to be filled, to be fucked.

  Watching as Rafi drank Nico was incredibly erotic, it took everything Julian had to keep himself in check, to do this right.

  Nico cradled her with one arm, caressed her breasts with his free hand, then looked up at Julian.

  It was an incredible view, Rafi’s hips at the end of the chaise, her legs spread. Julian thought he’d never seen her so beautiful. His cock throbbed at the sight of her, of her desire glistening on the curls between her thighs.

  Transfixed, Rafi could only stare up at Julian. He was incredible, every muscle seemed taut with iron control. His cock seemed huge, erect and twitching.

  His dark eyes were intent on her.

  In one motion, he slid his hands beneath her hips
so her legs were draped over his arms and drove his long thick cock deep inside her.

  She cried out as he thrust inside her, as he filled her.

  Nico’s hand closed on her breast, squeezing it, toying and tugging on her nipple.

  It was incredible to feel every inch of Julian drive so deep and hard inside her. Without Nico holding her in place, she didn’t know that she could have held herself on the chaise. The sweet friction of his cock as it battered inside her drove her crazy. She quivered, so close, so close to coming.

  For a moment Julian held, buried inside her, and shifted his hips to better feel her.

  “I love to feel you tighten around me like that,” he groaned, his eyes closing, but he wanted to share the incredible sensation of her. “Nico, feel this.”

  A rush of heat went through her, even as she gasped to find herself empty suddenly, and then Nico’s cock drove into her and she quivered. Her hips pumped against him.

  Nico’s eyes went closed as he worked himself inside her.

  The pleasure of it made Rafi moan, the muscles inside her clenching and flexing around him.

  Fingers toyed with her clit, Julian’s, and a rush of ecstasy made the muscles inside her tighten around Nico’s cock. Nico shuddered as he lifted her hips higher to grind himself inside her.

  A mouth closed over her nipple, sucked. She wailed softly, needing desperately to come.

  Then Nico was gone but she was only empty for a minute. A thicker, fuller shaft drove deep inside her. Julian, his cock pulsing as he pounded into her. Her hips thrust, pumped as Nico braced her to take him, his mouth closing on her breast while his fingers found her clit.

  She’d though Julian big before, but it was nothing like this, his cock stretched every inch of her.

  Looking down, watching his shaft push inside Rafi while Nico sucked hard on her nipple as she tightened around him, was more that Julian could take.

  With a shout he came, filling her with his seed, his body locked as he emptied inside her. Her internal muscles closed tightly around him. She came on a soft cry but he pulled out swiftly to make room for Nico. Julian’s cock filled her mouth so she could take the last of his cum from him.
