Sacrifice for the Gods: A Reverse Harem Paranormal Romance (Ruling the Gods Book 1)

by Mae Doyle

  I cried out, arching into him, reaching down to grab his huge cock. He moaned my name, the sound of it sending goosebumps across my body. My nipples pebbled under his touch and I dug my nails into his body, trying to flip him over so I could climb on top of him.

  It was like trying to flip a mountain. Every inch of Aruer was wrapped in muscle. They twisted and knotted under my hands as he worked his way down my body, kissing in a meandering line to the heat between my legs. I gasped as he spread my thighs for him, my eyes closing as he licked me slowly along my slit.

  I honestly felt like I was going to come apart at the seams.

  He licked me again, this time his tongue playing around my clit. It sent shocks of electricity through my body and I dug my nails in harder.

  “Aruer,” I managed to gasp out, but he didn’t stop. Instead, he pumped his fingers into me, stroking my inside wall. He knew just the spot to hit and I started to feel the familiar tingles shoot through my limbs. My muscles all felt like they were locking up, my nerves screaming out and I twisted my fingers in his sheets.

  “Don’t you stop,” I cried, reaching up to wrap my fingers in his thick hair. He continued licking and stroking me, each touch of his tongue or fingers making my core spiral tighter. He was winding me up, and he had to know what he was doing to me. Aruer had to know that I wasn’t going to be able to hold it together for too much longer, not with him on top of me, his hot breath on my sensitive skin, my nub between his fingers.

  His lapping slowed, but he didn’t stop. The sudden change in how he touched me made me gasp, and I drove myself into his face, bucking up into him. “Don’t stop!” I was close, and I screamed the words the best I could, even though just speaking and breathing now was harder than ever.

  Aruer lapped his tongue against me, my slit open and begging for more. My breathing turned to panting as I felt him winding me tighter. This was it. I could almost see the edge that he was going to push me off of, and suddenly, I was there.

  I was falling apart, every nerve in my body firing at once as I fell over the cliff. He continued stroking and licking me, pumping his fingers into me. I felt my muscles tightening around him, holding me in place. I was biting my lower lip so hard that I tasted blood, but I didn’t even realize it at first.

  I just wanted him.

  Aruer held me as I fell, still stroking me as I lay like a spent puddle on his bed. He leaned over me, whispering in my ear, and the sweet nothings didn’t make sense in his language, but it didn’t matter. I didn’t have to know what he was saying to understand how much he loved me.

  I reached for him, pulling him to me so that I could kiss him, and I felt his hard cock press into my side. I was spent and I felt exhausted, but that brought me back to life.

  “You,” I whispered, putting my hands on his shoulders and forcing him to roll over onto his back. I knew that he was only doing it because he wanted to – there wasn’t any way that I could actually make him roll over if he wanted to stop me. The thought made my heart beat faster, and I tried to calm myself as I mounted him.

  “You’re gorgeous,” he whispered, reaching out and grabbing my hip. He squeezed me a little and I immediately felt some of the anxiety I was feeling disappear. Confidence flowed through me and I grabbed onto it, trying to act as brave as he thought I was.

  “I love you,” I told him. “And if I’m not going to get to see you for a long while, then at least I want to give you something to remember me by.”

  “I won’t forget you, my fated mate,” he said, but he stopped talking as I slowly lowered myself onto his cock. He was huge and ready, and I braced my hands on his strong chest to keep from hurting myself as I lowered down.

  He filled me completely, and at first, all I could do was take deep breaths, but then Aruer grabbed my hips and helped me start to rock on him. I gasped and leaned back, my tits pushed out at him, and he immediately reached up to grab one, slowly rolling my nipple between my fingers.

  It was heaven, and I swore, grinding faster against him. He was hitting this incredible spot in me each time I slammed down on him, and I felt another orgasm starting. Was it possible that someone could make me come like this?

  Not just someone. A god.

  My god.

  The thought made me circle higher, and I bent down, digging my nails into his chest. I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to hang on, not with his huge cock in me, his hands on me.

  “Come for me, Emily,” he whispered, and the command swept through me. I hadn’t realized that I was that ready for him, but as soon as he spoke the words, I fell apart. This time, though, he fell with me.

  I felt his huge cock throbbing and releasing in me, his hot seed coating and filling me. He kept thrusting, deeper now than before, and I rocked on him, milking him and taking everything that he had to offer me.

  He wanted to give me all that he had, and I was going to take it.

  We fell together, each of us crying out the other’s name. Heat seared through my body, making it hard for me to catch my breath. I felt sweat breaking out all over my skin and I shivered as my muscles pulled and tightened around him. My body wasn’t ready to let him go.

  Waves of pleasure rocked through me and I had to bite my lip to keep from continually crying out. My nerves were all exploding at the same time, making me tremble on his cock.

  Finally, Aruer reached up and pulled me down to his chest, wrapping his huge arms around me. I felt safe. No matter what happened, I knew that I had my three gods and that they would do anything to keep me safe.

  “Aruer?” I asked, rolling over and looping my arm over his chest. “Is everything going to be okay?”

  I couldn’t believe that I was asking him that right then. My heart was still pounding and I could feel his seed sticky on my legs, but I needed reassurance that we were going to make it through this.

  I needed to know for sure that he was going to be there for me when it all fell apart, because part of me firmly believed that Etris wouldn’t forget what had happened. They had to go fortify the Winter and Summer realms, but I had to warn my parents.

  “I promise you, Emily, that this will all work out.” He stared at me, his gorgeous eyes searching mine. “I don’t know how things are going to play out, but you have the three of us, and we aren’t going to let anything terrible happen to you. You have to go home for a while, but we will come for you.”

  I believed him, and after a while, I slept.

  Chapter 24

  I’d been at home for two months before anything crazy happened. My mom and dad took me seriously, as did all of the other witches we knew, and we all started making preparations immediately in case Etris came back.

  Of course they took me seriously. They saw her murder my sister and the three gods take me to their realm with them. The one thing that I didn’t tell my parents was that I had three fated mates.

  Apparently.

  Oh, and that Etris had already tried to kill me multiple times. My parents were pretty calm about things, but that was one thing that I was sure they wouldn’t handle well.

  And as for me, I hadn’t spent the last eight weeks just sitting around. My powers grew by the day, especially since my mom and dad had had me helping with spells and charms around the house. No goddess, god, or realm creature could come anywhere near us without us knowing about it.

  And that was exactly what happened. I was beginning to feel bad that I hadn’t heard anything from any of the gods in a few days when suddenly the lights in the kitchen dimmed. There was a slight buzzing and then a crackle as defenses against the house went up. I was sitting at the kitchen table nursing a cup of coffee and feeling bad for myself, but I immediately leapt to my feet.

  “Mom? Dad?” I called out, but they must have both been upstairs. The lights dimmed all over the house, though, so I knew that they were aware that something was wrong.

  Without stopping to think about it, I ran to the front door. Milo stood in front of it, his fur on end.


  “Everything okay out there, Milo?” I asked, and he turned to look at me. His gorgeous eyes were wide, but not with fear.

  He looked more excited than anything, and I scooted past him, opening the door to see what was out there.

  Sorus stood on my porch. Hot air swirled around him, the blast of it hitting me full in the face. His face lit up when he saw me, and he tried to step closer to me, but was stopped by an invisible wall.

  I grinned at him. “You like my anti-god charm? I worked hard on that.”

  The smile slid from his face. “You put up a charm to stop us from entering?”

  “Well, no,” I said, “but I didn’t know how to make it stop Etris and not you three, so it caught you, too. What are you doing here?” I stepped out through the door, concentrating hard to break through the barrier.

  As soon as I did, Suros grabbed me, pulling me into his arms. “I couldn’t want any longer to see you, Emily. Aruer and Wydar are finishing up in the Winter realm, and I told them that I’d come back for you. I had to see you. It’s been too long.”

  Before I could respond, he dropped his head, his mouth hot and hard on mine. I kissed him back, trailing my hand up behind his neck to hold him in place. His lips forced mine open and I moaned into his mouth as he slid a hand up my side, pinning me in place to his body.

  Everything about him was hot.

  He oozed sex and I realized with a start just how badly I wanted him. It was a damn shame that my parents were home, or else I would invite him in and show him how much I’d missed my fated mate.

  “Aren’t you going to invite me in?” Sorus read my mind and I slipped my hand lower, squeezing his ass.

  “My parents are here,” I told him, regretfully. “So unless you know somewhere else we can be alone…?”

  “I have an entire realm where we can be alone,” he said, interrupting me. “But you have to promise to be in a bikini at all times.”

  “All times? Even in bed? Because I like to sleep naked.”

  He growled and pulled me to him for another kiss. “You did a good job keeping your family safe, and now it’s time for you to relax. You’re my fated mate, Emily, and you’re coming with me.”

  I glanced back at my house, knowing full well the deep shit I’d be in if I didn’t tell my parents where I was going. Suros squeezed my hand, and I glanced back at him.

  Something over his shoulder caught my eye, and I gasped.

  “What is it?” His eyes narrowed instantly but he didn’t move. He kept his gaze locked on my face, but I could feel the energy start to boil under his skin.

  “It may have been nothing,” I said, but I didn’t believe it even as I said the words. “It may have just been a dragonfly, but I think it was a fairy.”

  We both knew what that meant, and he stiffened under my touch. A fairy would mean only one thing. They worked for Etris.

  “Are you sure it was a fairy?” Sorus kept his voice quiet enough that only I could hear it, but I could feel the change in his energy. He was preparing himself for battle.

  “I think so.” Closing my eyes, I tried to listen for it. Somehow, it knew it to stay far enough away from the house so that we wouldn’t pick it up on our defenses, but it was close enough for me to see.

  Tricky little bastard.

  As long as it kept on the move, it was going to be hard for us to get, and it knew it.

  Slowly, Suros turned around, but before he could even raise a hand or mutter an incantation, the fairy flew straight at us.

  “Don’t hurt me!” Up close like this it looked terrified, and it took the two of us completely off-guard. The lights in the house dimmed and I felt the energy start to swirl around us as it grew closer.

  “Should we hurt it?” I asked Sorus, doing my best to keep my voice low, but he didn’t respond.

  “Please,” the fairy cried, coming to a stop a few feet in front of us. “Listen to me.” It looked ragged and out of breath. Normally they had gorgeous wings that caught and threw the light, but this one looked dirty. There was a tear missing from one wing, and her face was smudged.

  “You have to listen,” she said, panting a little, which surprised me. I didn’t think that fairies could ever get out of breath. “She’s coming for you.”

  A chill ran through me. “Etris? Etris is coming for me? Where? Here? Is she coming here?”

  I had to stop myself from reaching out for her. I wanted to grab the fairy and make her tell me everything that she knew, but it was obvious that she was doing her best.

  At least, I hoped she was.

  The fairy nodded and I felt the energy coming off of Suros darken.

  “She’s gone mad,” the fairy whispered, and her voice was so soft and quiet that I almost had to lean forward to hear her. “She’s going to do everything she can to kill you.”

  “Is she coming here?” I had to know if I needed to warn my parents. I needed to know how bad it was going to get and what I needed to do.

  The fairy shook her head and turned to Suros. “She knows that you’re not in your realm and that you came here. Her spies are everywhere, and now she’s going there. She’s going to tear it apart without you to protect it.”

  Suros’ shoulders slumped and he leaned on me. “I have to go,” he whispered, turning to me to cup my face in his hand. “I can’t leave them there alone.”

  “You can’t leave me,” I told him. “You have to take me with you, do you understand? Don’t you dare leave me here, Suros. I love you.”

  At first, his eyes widened and I thought for sure that he was going to tell me that I couldn’t stay, but he nodded. “Tell your parents. I need you. We have to leave now.”
