For Hell's Sake (Queen of the Underworld Series Book 1)

by T. L. Anderson

  I go to chase after him, but a strong set of arms grab me, throwing me over their shoulder. “We’re leaving,” Ryce growls as he pushes his way toward the front door. Levi and Lex follow, both of them glaring at any human who looks our way, scaring them back to blissful unawareness.

  “Put me down, you big ass.” I kick at his stomach and punch his back, but he doesn’t budge. The minute the cool air hits our skin, I’m dropped to the ground. My legs wobble as the blood rushes back to my head. He goes to grab my hand, but I yank it away and back up from them. There’s no way in Hell they’re transporting me back to the apartment without an explanation. “I’m not leaving until I talk with Aries.”

  Ryce growls, but I roll my eyes at his overdramatic self. “Yeah, not working. I don’t care if you all are the princes of Hell. I’m not scared of you.” Crossing my arms, I raise an eyebrow, challenging him to try again. Really I just hope they can’t see through my facade and how scared I am currently.

  “Lucia, we need to…” Lex starts, but I cut him off.

  “Yeah, yeah.” Mocking his voice, I say, “We need to get you back to safety.” With a snort, I roll my eyes again. “You all sound like a bad movie on repeat.”

  “This isn’t a joke. We’re leaving. Now.” Aries appears at my side, his hands gripping my waist. Before I can argue, he pulls us through and pops us back into the apartment. Great—I can argue with the best, but I can’t fight them when they’re constantly whisking me away without my permission. Stubborn, sexy assholes.

  My body is on fire, the electricity from the club still buzzing under my skin. The longer I pace my bedroom, where Aries left me, the more the desire is building in my body. I need a release. It’d be helpful if one of them would just stop being so stubborn and let me get past the kissing stage. As I think back to the kisses with Ryce and Lex, my body burns even hotter. Every movement of my pants against my skin has me tingling, the hypersensitivity almost too much to bear. Who do they think they are? Constantly ruining every experience I’ve had since I stepped foot up here. I can’t even enjoy food anymore without one of them leaving the room due to, as they call it, me having an oral orgasm with the food. So what? I can’t enjoy the taste of food? I can’t help I involuntarily moan with each new flavor. Another jolt of tingles rushes through me, causing me to lose my footing. I trip at the sensation, catching myself on the corner of the bed. That’s it, I’m over this macho bullshit. One of those assholes is going to fix this or help me fix it. Storming out into the other room, I fling the door open, announcing my arrival to everyone.

  All four eyes round to me. I probably look half-crazy standing here, hair a mess from running my hands through it, my skin a hint of red from the fire burning beneath. With wide eyes, I glance around the room, panicked with what I’m about to do. I can’t fight the feeling inside though. I don’t understand why my vagina tickles and causes me to moan every time I walk or squeeze my legs. “What’s happening to me?” My voice sounds strained even to my own ears.

  “What’s wrong? Did something happen?” Lex stands from his chair. Aries jumps up and runs into the bedroom, a knife drawn in his hand. Ryce and Levi follow behind him.

  “There’s no one in there.” My body starts to shake—great, another fun side effect. “I meant what’s wrong with me?”

  “Are you hurt?” Levi rushes to my side, looking me over for any new injuries. I shake my head no, but I see the concern etched on his face. He reaches out and touches my hand but drops it quickly. “Holy shit, you’re burning up.”

  “Does she have a fever?” Lex asks, perplexed.

  “Maybe that pervert did something to her or slipped her a drug,” Ryce snarls. “I’m going to hunt him down and kill him.”

  “No!” I shout a little too loud. All the excitement in the room causes me to buzz even more. I shift on my feet, squeezing my thighs together to fight the tingle sensation. My underwear starts to feel wet. Oh, fuck. Did I piss myself? My eyes widen as I glance down.

  “He didn’t do anything to her.” Aries leans against the far wall, keeping his distance from me, the light orange eyes now burning brighter. “The emotions tonight were too much for her. She’s overdosed on lust.”

  The others look between him and me. They take a deep breath, and when their eyes open, they’re burning bright to match Aries’. Biting my lip, I try to ignore the increase in energy flowing through me. “Overdosed?” I squeak. “Fix it! I can’t handle this feeling. And I think I pissed myself.”

  Levi shifts closer, his hand reaching out to tuck a strand of my wild hair behind my ears. “That’s not piss,” he states, tracing a finger across my cheek.

  “What is it, then?” My body leans toward him, begging him to touch me more. “I need you to fix me. One of you or all of you.”

  His nostrils flare as he slides his hands into my hair, gripping tight to tilt my head back, giving him access to my neck. “That’s need. Your body is craving a release.” He runs his nose along my chin, his tongue tracing a line along my jaw. I shiver, tilting further, giving him more access. “I can fix it for you,” he purrs against my skin.

  “Enough,” Aries calls out, but his voice is hesitant. Popping my eyes open, they stare into his. I bite my lip as Levi pulls my earlobe between his teeth, the pain mixing with pleasure. Aries’ face displays a battle of emotions. “We can’t,” he breathes, but I see the hesitation in his eyes.

  “Please,” I whisper. “It hurts, all of this. Under my skin hurts.”

  Levi whispers in my ear for only me to hear, “Go to him. Show him that you need all of us.” He pulls away, breaking the hold he has on me. The need rushes harder into me. Apparently, his touch eased it enough to make it bearable, but now I feel like my body is waging a war against itself.

  I stumble toward Aries, each step increasing in speed as I get close enough to touch him. Slowly, I run my hands up his chest like I did in the club and wrap them around his neck. “I need you—all of you,” I whisper. I test the waters and gently pull his face closer to mine, leaving only an inch between us. Breathing in, I let his scent envelop me. He smells amazing, almost good enough to make me moan. Pushing myself closer, I close the distance, laying my entire body against his. The pain alleviates, leaving behind only the pleasure. I push myself up, pressing my lips against his. I wait to see what he’s going to do. He doesn’t move, his body stiff against me.

  “I want you,” I breathe.

  Those three little words are enough to break through his walls as his lips crash into mine. He slides his tongue along my lips as I part them, letting him in. I hold him close, keeping him against me. My body burns; every part not being touched or consumed by him is on fire. A soft cry pulls from my lips as I start to shake again from the desire coursing through my body. It’s unbearable. I deepen the kiss, tasting him on my tongue and in my senses. Another hand runs along my arms, tracing down to my hips from behind. I moan as someone else traces the side of my ribs up to the side of my breast. All the sensations ease the pain, leaving behind relief. Aries lifts me into his arms, wrapping my legs around his waist as he continues to pepper kisses along my jawline. I can feel us moving, but my eyes are too tired to open. Teetering on the edge of oblivion, I rub my hips against his, enjoying the relief with each shift. It’s like scratching an itch I never knew I had. My speed picks up, each stroke stronger than the last. His hands tighten on my hips, holding me in place. This is it—this is where he puts an end to everything. Lifting me, he carries me into the other room.

  “Not yet,” he says. Laying me down on the bed, he backs away. All four of them come into view, each of them watching me with a hunger that reflects how I feel inside.

  “Why am I so wound up? Why does everything hurt when you’re not touching me?” I grimace as the burning sensation is back in full force. My veins feel like they’re pumping fire through them.

  “It’s the lust and need, it’s overdosed your senses. Too much sin causes pain and apparently extreme
need,” Lex moans as he adjusts his pants.

  “It’s called being horny, but for you it’s times a thousand. Your body is overproducing the pleasure endorphins. It needs to be released.” Levi traces his fingertip over the curve of my breast, causing my back to arch off the bed. His eyes flare as he licks his lips.

  “We want you, all of us do. But we need to hear you say it,” Ryce says, his hands shaking slightly at his sides. The effects must be working on him too.

  “Say what?” I beg.

  “Tell us if you want all of us. That even if you weren’t high on pleasure, that you’d still want all of us.” Aries steps forward, placing his hands alongside me. “We won’t touch you if you don’t want us to. But if there’s just one of us you want, you need to say something now.”

  I swallow, looking each of them in the eye. My body still burns, but the butterflies in my stomach and the wetness pooling between my legs as I look at each one are a sudden reminder that I do want each of them. I have since the day we landed here on Earth together. They’re a part of me, and I’m a part of them. I can feel it—this is what’s meant to happen. “I want each of you. I didn’t know at first—I thought it was strange how I was drawn to each of you separately, yet the need to kiss you all was overwhelming.” I bite my lip as I slip my shirt over my head, revealing my breasts. “So, to answer your question, yes, I want each of you. I need you now, but even when I’m not in this moment, I want you. I have since we first came here to Earth together.”

  They each growl, a guttural sound of desire slipping past their lips. My pants are pulled from my hips as the others pull me up farther onto the bed. My wrists are cuffed by Levi and Lex. Ryce is holding my head as he leans down and kisses me. His tongue mixing with mine, I push up into him, but the others hold me down gently. I can feel them peppering kisses along my palms, leading to my arms. Squeezing my legs together, I try to relieve the pain building down there. Ryce continues to taste me, both of us fighting for control. Lex and Levi each work their way to my chest. A tongue swipes out against my nipple, causing a moan in my throat. This spurs on Ryce as he continues his kisses, and Lex and Levi suck each of my nipples into their mouths. The pain eases into pure pleasure, all the sensations at once building into something so much more. I continue to squeeze my legs together, but warm hands hook around my wet underwear and rip them off with one pull. Aries pushes my legs apart, baring my core to him. I can feel myself pulsing as the cool air hits it.

  “I’ve waited for this longer than you can imagine,” he groans seconds before his lips lock onto me.

  A soft scream slips out of me as I fight the instant relief and building pressure from his mouth. His tongue swirls, and his lips suckle my clit, each pull adding more to the pressure building in my body. All of them create sensations along every nerve ending. As I lie here, spread out and held down, there’s nowhere else I’d rather be. Their mouths are on every inch of my body, tasting and suckling me. Aries slips his finger inside of me as he continues his assault with his tongue. My hips arch off the bed, but his hand comes down on top, holding me still as he continues to build up my body. I writhe beneath them, trying to increase each movement, chasing after the release. They bite my nipples with a little pressure between their teeth, sending tingles soaring through me. Ryce sucks my tongue into his mouth, then nibbles my lip between his teeth. As the pleasure builds, stars pop behind my eyes as Aries pulls my clit into his mouth again. His finger curves inside me, hitting just the right spot. Every muscle in my body tightens as my vagina pulses around his hand and into his mouth. I let out a scream that Ryce catches with his lips. Levi and Lex cup my breasts as they lick the nipples they released. My body falls back onto the bed as the last waves ride out around Aries’ hand, sweat coating my skin. The burning sensation no longer there, I let out a sigh as I fall into a heap of worn muscles. Their mouths release me, but their hands stay on me.

  “That’s just the start. We’re not finished yet,” Aries purrs as he pulls his fingers out from inside me. My eyes widen as all four watch me with their burning gazes. They rotate and Lex is between my legs now, Ryce at my breast. As his mouth descends onto me, my need builds again. A cry of pleasure bursts from my lips as the others take me in their mouths too.

  Sunlight shines through the curtain, heating my skin. Rubbing my eyes, I slowly roll over, stretching. This is the first time since finding out Lilith is on Earth I’ve slept without tossing and turning. My body is sore, every muscle aching from the remnants of last night. Thoughts of all of them causes my body to stir, the need slowly pulling again. With a groan, I toss a pillow over my face, fighting off the urges. It’s not like last night though—the desire isn’t controlling me; I’m controlling it. This isn’t horrible. I could get used to this. A heavy arm falls on my hips, wrapping around me as it pulls my back against a hard body.

  “Stop moving,” Ryce yawns. My stomach flips as I realize I’m still completely naked and they’re all in bed with me. Aries is on my other side. He shifts, curving his body around me. He rests his leg between mine, sending a pulse of heat straight to my core. Lifting my head, I peer over Aries to see Lex lying there on his back, his coffee-brown hair disheveled and his lips still slightly swollen from the kissing last night. I try to peer over my shoulder, but Ryce groans. “For Hell’s sake, can you stop moving? You’re making it incredibly difficult to not take you right here, again.”

  A rush of warmth pools in my stomach at the thoughts of being pleasured again. Levi’s sleep-filled voice mumbles behind him, “Don’t tempt me to throw you on the floor, asshole. I’ll happily taste breakfast this morning if you’re not going to.”

  Ryce lets out a growl. “Don’t even think about it.” His hands tighten on my waist as one moves slowly down my inner thigh, tracing the edge of my lips.

  My body shivers with his touch, and I push myself back into him. I feel how happy he is to wake up with me. Aries’ hand grabs my left hip as he pulls me to him, my core now directly pushed against his morning salute. Grinding myself on him, I imagine what it would feel like to have them inside me. All of the emotions in the air coax me toward a release as I slide my hips back and forth. A moan slips past my lips as I hit just the right spot, causing tingles to burst behind my eyelids. My insides convulse as the waves hit me hard, the feel of his hard-on beneath his boxers enough to cause me to orgasm with little effort.

  Aries hisses, his body rigid beneath mine. “Holy fuck, Lucia. I can feel you seeping through my boxers.” My body shudders again as another wave hits me. Ryce’s fingers trace my skin, circling my nipples.

  Levi moans, “Tonight I’m sleeping next to her. This isn’t fair.”

  Ryce grabs me and rolls me off Aries, pulling me onto his chest, then rolling me to his other side to face him, Levi to my back. His heated gaze runs over me as his hands roam my body. Every nerve ending lights back up as I lean forward and kiss him, sucking his tongue into my mouth. He kisses me back, his lips pressed hard against mine. The pain mixed with pleasure builds up my need once again. His hands wrap around my waist as he pulls me on top of him, my legs falling open around his boxers. His length pops out, pressing against my ass as my clit sits right against him. He slowly moves me back and forth while our lips find each other’s, the taste of myself still fresh on his tongue. The pressure of his cock against my backside and the friction on my clit increase, each shift sending me closer to the edge. Levi’s hand traces my ass cheek, running along the bottom of it and up the sides as he helps shift me against Ryce. My rhythm builds as they both push me closer to the edge of release. With one last slide, I let out a cry, falling over the edge again.

  Before the last wave finishes, I’m being pulled under Levi. His body rests between my spread legs as he slowly rocks his hips back and forth. Lowering his head, he cups my breast and sucks my nipple into his mouth. The sensation is enough to send electricity through me again. My body is exhausted, but my core is ready for more. He rocks against me, building the p
ressure while tasting me. Each lick and movement causes moans to slip past my lips.

  “Yes,” I breathe as he picks up speed. Wrapping my ankles around his back, I pull him into me, increasing the pressure with each movement, causing me to orgasm again. “Holy fuck,” I cry. Levi’s hands wrap around my waist as he stands, lifting me with him. Carrying me over to the other side of the bed, he places a gentle kiss to my neck before laying me down next to Lex. My muscles are weak, my body shaky with each orgasm.

  Lex’s hand comes up and traces the corner of my lips. He watches me, a slight smile on his lips. “I told you, it was only a matter of time.” He places a soft kiss on my lips, the gentleness of his touch a swift change from the roughness of the others. I’m not sure which I enjoy more. His hand slides down my neck, following the curves of my body. The cool air hitting my sweat-soaked skin causes goose bumps to follow in his path. Lying on my back, I glance into his stormy gray eyes.

  “This is what I’ve been waiting for. To feel you.” His fingers trace the edge of my skin below my belly button.

  “To taste you.” Leaning forward, he slides his tongue onto my lips. Mine part, allowing him entrance. I need to taste him too. Breaking our connection, he lifts his face an inch from mine.

  “To be inside you.” His hand cups my core, the palm pressing against my clit as his fingers push into me, stretching me around him. He strokes and pumps inside of me slowly, each shift causing tingles to shoot through my body. Spreading my legs farther, I wish for more of him on me. To feel all of him, all of them. My thighs shake as everything builds. The only part of me that he’s touching. My lips crave his, but my body is on fire and no longer chilled. “Let yourself fall. Enjoy the feelings and absence of touch,” he whispers, while slowly building speed.
