Night of the Dragon

by Alexandra O'Hurley

  “What am I?” Her whispered words were nearly inaudible to even her.

  Ryden lowered himself into the vee of her legs, his heavy erection pressed against the tender flesh of her pussy. “You are human, but are special. You are a rare breed with Valkyrie blood in your veins, making you strong enough to be our mate.”

  Heat surged within her body, her need for him increasing, but she fought against the rising tide, trying to hold on to the last shreds of her sanity, the questions she had more important than the lust crowding her mind. “This is all so crazy. Like some kind of dream. Every time I am near you, all sane thought leaves me. I want you so much, and I can’t control it. All I see in my mind is you both fucking me senseless.”

  “The Nave is near, the one night a year you can be impregnated. Tomorrow night, your body will become a tangle of nerves; your desire will override everything you know, everything you think. You will do anything to be in our arms. In our bed. Impaled on our cocks. It will only get worse the longer we wait to consummate our bond.”

  Further dampness rushed to her core at his frank words and the erotic images they created in her mind. Karli rubbed herself against his hardness. “I need…”

  “I know you do, baby, but I just want you to know you have a choice tonight. We can wait.”

  “If what you say is true, tomorrow I will no longer have a choice. So tonight I can decide for myself.” Karli leaned forward and grasped his lips in a kiss, letting him know of her need. There was no more time for talking, and she rubbed herself against him as she deepened the kiss. Even with her hands and feet bound, knowing she was fully in control of the kiss was empowering.

  Ryden broke from her and quickly removed his clothing, as Rayne moved closer, kissing her as she waited for them both to be ready. Rayne was gentler than she expected, his lips strong, but soft, nipping at her lips, taking sips from her. When they were both free of clothing, they moved to be between her splayed legs, just hovering close, watching her as she undulated on the bed.

  “Are you sure, Karli? If we don’t stop now, I don’t know if we will be able to later.”

  Karli looked into Ryden’s eyes, warmth spreading through her chest at the sincerity in his eyes. Catching Rayne’s gaze, she saw the same caring. Regardless of his earlier words, claiming her was something he truly wanted to share, not take. She felt safe with these men, a connection she had never felt to another human in her entire life. Perhaps that’s why. They aren’t human.

  “I choose you both. I need you both.” Spread nude in front of them, the men each tasted Karli in turn after her acquiescence. Both continued to lick her pussy, fingers delving into her wet heat, the folds of her sex explored, as her clit was laved and rubbed expertly, bringing her higher and higher towards explosion.

  Rayne’s fingers slid to her small puckered ass, and one large finger began to push at the tight bud. Using collected juices from her heated pussy, he pressed gently until Karli relaxed the muscles there, allowing him entry. “How does that feel, love?”

  Karli’s eyes closed, the pressure a sweet torture she wasn’t sure she would survive. Taking in a deep breath, she opened on the exhale, pushing her ass against his straining fingers. “More.”

  “As much as you can take. And then some.” Rayne plunged his finger deeper; filling her unlike any man had done before. Ryden continued his assault on her tortured clit, all while sliding two fingers into her pussy.

  Adding another finger, Rayne carefully stretched the tight ring of flesh, readying her for their shared entry. Karli felt more filled than she ever had before, two strong fingers in her wet pussy, two in her ass, and she knew it just a prelude to how it would feel to have their cocks inside her. A gentle ebb and flow of the rhythm the men created worked her closer and closer towards completion.

  White hot light burst under Karli’s eyelids, as her whole body stretched and tightened with her release. A scream echoed within the confines of the earthen room, followed by the deep moans she released as they continued the assault on her sex. A growl vibrated in her chest, her eyes opening at the sounds the men returned.

  Rayne was the first to abandon his spot, moving slowly to lie beside her, before lifting her body up and sliding below her. His large cock was nestled into the crevice of her bottom, and she felt his blood pulsing through the brand of hot flesh.

  Knowing they were both quite large, she was unsure if they would be able to fit inside her without harming her, and she hesitated a moment.

  Immediately seeming to sense her alarm, Ryden kissed her. “We will never hurt you, baby.”

  Grasping his rod in one hand, Ryden rubbed the head along her slit, collecting the juices there, before pushing the head into her pussy slightly. Tensing, she struggled to press down and capture more of him within her. Brightness flashed behind her eyelids as her body was racked with the most amazing sensation she had ever experienced.

  Moisture flowed from her cunt, and he rubbed his wet hand along his cock, slicking his flesh, before rubbing the cock around the entrance of her sex. In one swift motion, he entered her, and she immediately spiraled into another orgasm.

  After her release drifted away, Ryden stilled and pulled out of her hot sheath, reaching down, he grasped one ankle and then the other, and then lifted her ass slightly, to aid Rayne’s entry into her bottom. Rayne reached up between her splayed legs and gathered her moisture on his fingertips, spreading it along her furrowed flesh and the purple swollen head of his cock. Ryden moved his broad hands down to the swell of her backside, stretching the firm globes tight.

  Rayne guided the plump tip to her opening and pressed gently but firmly to the start of her bud, as Ryden bent to lick and nip at her exposed clit. Karli relaxed as much as she could to allow the alien invasion, knowing that he was trying to be as gentle as possible.

  Tendrils of pleasure-pain coursed through Karli’s body as she slowly relaxed her muscles to allow Rayne’s entry, and within long seconds, he was fully seated inside her. After a few moments to allow her to get comfortable with the sensations she felt, Ryden moved closer to her, and he pushed the bulbous end of his shaft slowly into her ready sex. Feeling the pressure, the stretching of her sex as both cocks filled her completely was too much for her to handle, her body vibrating, tremors coursing throughout her body.

  Rayne steadied her as they both began to move in tandem. One would slowly pull out as the other entered her. The feeling of both cocks moving within her was more than she could handle, and her eyes rolled upwards into her head.

  Both men moved as if they had done this many, many times before. Perfectly choreographed, they mated with her as if it were a dance. Plunging inside her, Ryden leaned down to grasp her lips within his, mimicking the motions of his cock with his broad firm tongue. Wave after wave of highly charged sensation rippled through Karli’s body, to the point her clit became so oversensitive; she thought she would slowly die in their grasp.

  The sensation only grew, tears coming to her eyes, as she felt the jerk of both men’s cocks within her as they both reached the pinnacle. The quivering of their cocks triggered the release of her orgasm, one so intense, tears streamed down her face. As all three laid there entangled, Karli struggled to breathe between the two large bodies.

  Ryden reached above her head, slowly unclasping one hand and then the other. Phantom bonds remained after her release, as she still felt the sensation of being bound, the skin around her wrists tender and sensitive. Closing her eyes, she had nothing left in her body, her energy completely exhausted. Her eyes opened slightly as she felt herself lifted. Rayne held her tightly to his body as he strode across the room.

  Hearing splashing sounds, she moaned as she was lowered into the natural springs, the warmth easing over her tender skin. Wrapped in Rayne’s embrace, he gently moved his hands over her body, spreading her sex to clean the remnants of their experience, massaging her in the warm waters. Another splash sounded, and she lifted her lids enough to see Ryden enter the pool, grasping her
legs, he massaged the muscles there as Rayne’s hands continued to move over her skin.

  After long minutes, she was lifted from the pool and dried, her feet touching the floor, but not supporting her own weight. Lifted again, she was placed into the center of the furs, where she drifted off.

  Chapter Five

  Rayne looked through Karli’s bedroom window, not able to walk away. Ryden was still good and pissed off at him for snatching her, and had made him bring her back, against Rayne’s better judgment. He should have been back on his way to meet Ryden an hour ago, but after placing Karli in her bed, she had looked so peaceful, so beautiful.

  Her soft waves of auburn hair had spread along her pillow, and her moans of delight as she snuggled into her bed had made his cock jump up, demanding she open her jade eyes and beg he take her again. But he knew she would still be sore from their rough handling, and just watching her sleep was somehow enough for him at that moment. As the need arose again, and she had began to move in her sleep, he moved outside, readying to leave, knowing if he remained in the room, the need to claim her once more would overpower him.

  But he had needed one more look. One more check that she was okay. And the longer he stood there in the shadows, behind the large bushes beside her window, the more he found himself fixed to the spot. His innate sense of protection was too strong, and the need to be there to watch over her was far greater importance than his brother’s wrath.

  “I thought I would find you here.”

  Rayne turned at the sound of his twin’s voice. “I couldn’t leave her.”

  Ryden stepped closer to the window, looking in on the sleeping woman for a few moments before turning to his brother. “Have you ever considered that this life, our life, is a huge change for her? We will be asking her to walk away from all that she knows in order to keep her safe. That swooping in to save the day could put whatever chances we have at happiness in jeopardy.”

  “Ryden, I have followed you for years. But in this, I have to follow my gut. She is in danger and I won’t risk losing her. She is too important for both of us.”

  “Her safety is my priority. But knowing she will accept us both into her lives is also a very close second.” Ryden turned towards him, his face mostly in shadow. “This is our chance for real happiness. Love, children, everything denied us for over a thousand years. Do you think your fear of losing her is what you are really afraid of?”

  “Freyja will never be happy until we are all dead. Gyda’s army of Swartska gypsies will eventually find us with the wide path we made to get here. We might as well have sent them a fucking road map with a huge neon sign at the end.” Rayne’s eyes widened suddenly. “You are using her for bait. Oh, brother, please say it isn’t so.”

  Ryden looked away, his avoidance of the question almost enough of an answer itself. “I would never let her be in harm’s way. Even now, Eryck and Erulf have placed wards on her house, and all over the amusement park. If a Swartska minion comes anywhere close, we will know immediately. And all three will be with us tonight.”

  “And where will we be tonight? It is the night of the Nave. The only place we should be is in bed with our woman, mating her properly.”

  “Tonight is the last night of Scream Town, and she will be there, and so will we.”

  “You son of a bitch.” Rayne started to walk away, knowing if he stood there one more moment, that he was going to have to hit Ryden.

  “Rayne, we will never have any peace with her if the Swartska is still after us. We need to stand and fight for what is ours. I am tired of hiding and the constant moving. I want a home with her. I want our seed in her stomach. Family. And the only way we are going to have that is to stand up and fight back.”

  Feeling his fist close up tight of its own volition, Rayne considered the way it would feel knocking some sense into his brother’s thick skull. “But using her as bait?”

  “She will never be harmed. We will never allow it.”

  “You are a bastard; we can stand and fight without laying her out on a silver platter for those creeps. It’s wrong. All wrong.”

  “Have I ever led us wrong before?” Ryden stepped closer to his brother, the concern heavily etched into the lines around his eyes. Damn, his brother looked as though he had aged twenty years overnight.

  “We’ve never had this much at stake, Ryden. I won’t live another thousand years without the succor we can find in her arms.”

  “I won’t let it get that far. We won’t let it get that far.”

  ****

  When Karli awoke hours later, in her own bed, alone, had it not been for the tenderness of her own body, she would have assumed she was going insane. Sitting up, she moved her legs to the side of the bed slowly, the tenderness inside her thighs screaming. She moved to her feet and her knees nearly buckled from the soreness, and she shuffled her way into her bathroom, turning on the shower.

  Slipping under the spray, she fought tears as they sprung to her eyes. After the night she had with Ryden and Rayne, she had at least expected the two men to be there when she opened her eyes the following morning. How anything that had could feel so right when it happened, feel so wrong the next morning in the light of day?

  Karli turned off the shower and grasped a towel to dry her body. Slipping out, she stood before the large mirror over the sink and dropped the cloth. Looking at herself, she was changed from their touches. Her nipples were bright pink, swollen from their mouths and caresses. She reached up to feel the weight of one breast and it felt heavier and tender.

  Small bite marks crossed her shoulders and neck, nothing serious, just the rough lovemaking scars from her two men. Karli hoped that they wouldn’t heal completely, and she would wear them as a reminder of one incredible night. Apparently that was all it was to be, and she should have realized it when she first saw them in the park.

  The perfect predators.

  Reaching a hand down, she cupped her sex, which was abraded and tender, and bright pink from their use. One lone finger slid through her labia to caress her engorged clit, and her sigh of pleasure had her grasping for the edge of the sink with her free hand. At least she had gotten one amazing night out of it, and instead of dwelling on it, she should just take it for what it was and move on.

  Karli turned on the sink, splashing cold water over her face. She went through the motions of brushing her hair and teeth, feeling like she was disembodied somehow. The daily rituals seemed so urbane now, after what Rayne and Ryden had done to her body. And the thought of going to work this evening was not something she looked forward to at all.

  Considering a few days ago it was her life, she suddenly realized that Ryden was correct; she was one of the park’s caged beasts. It had been her first and only job. Comfortable. Instead of branching out into the world and using the education she had worked long and hard for, she had stayed where it was easy. She had been going through the motions all this time, and now that she had seen another life, new potential, the thought of spending one more day there was sickening.

  But what else could she do?

  Karli had felt alive in the twins’ arms, for the first time in her life. But the two of them had brought her home, deposited her in her bed, alone. Instead of waking up with her in the light of day, showing her that they truly wanted her in their lives, they had left her in their haste to run away. She had no idea how to find them if they did not come tonight.

  Last night was going to be the one and only time she would spend with the twins, and that thought paralyzed her.

  But they had said tonight her body would take over, her need would propel her to do things she did not necessarily want to do. Was it all bullshit? A way to coax her into their bed? Instinctively, Karli knew there would be more to this. Part of her wanted to seek the men out, another part of her wanted to shield her heart away from the potential hurt their abandonment would cause.

  She grabbed her work clothes and took her time putting them on, hoping tonight they would come for her.


  Chapter Six

  Eryck walked beside his brother Erulf along the pathways of the park, checking the wards they had placed throughout. The pair made sure they were holding and had not been found, and tracing a few new ones in spots that felt weaker. Both of their heads were well above those around them, and they captured attention as they moved. As they did everywhere they went. Not too many men were six foot ten with shoulders nearly half as wide.

  “I don’t like this whole plan, Rulf.” Eryck was the older of the two, his magic much stronger than his twin’s. All day he had sensed something off, something that just wasn’t right with the world around them, but none of the wards so far had erupted and so far they were all in place and holding. There was no way Gyda or her Swartska were anywhere on the property.

  “Nose twitching again, Eryck?” Erulf’s snarky laugh ruffled Eryck’s feathers. Erulf had never really taken life all that seriously, nor their magic. But then, Erulf was the younger twin. Younger twins usually had lesser powers.

  Except in the case of Jakob and Joran.

  “Don’t you feel it?” Eryck would have chuckled at his brother’s nose twitching comments, because it was pretty much on point. Except the stakes were too high and the situation too serious for him to find much humor in anything.

  “No, I don’t feel anything, except the anticipation of potentially getting to kick some Swartska butt. It has been far, far too long.”

  Eryck eyed his younger brother. “Promise me you will be careful tonight, Rulf.”

  “Aren’t I always?”

  “No, you are a cocky asshole who needs to keep his eyes on the prize. I will not lose you tonight, brother.”

  Erulf placed a hand over his chest, feigning pain. “You wound me with your assumptions, dear Eryck.”

  “This isn’t a joke.”

  Erulf stopped in the pathway, pulling brother by the arm into a copse of trees. He looked at Eryck with all seriousness, his playful glibness receding. “If there is something you are not telling me about tonight, Eryck, then spill. I don’t have time to get my panties in a wad over some gloom and doom feeling you have.”
