“So what happens to her now?” I asked Kimberly the next day.
We were sitting in one of the hotel’s restaurants. Kim had been patiently answering my questions for the last thirty minutes as we enjoyed lunch. Our version of lunch occurred as most people were enjoying dinner. We were a nocturnal lot.
“They call it the honeymoon period.” Kim seemed to be treating this conversation as an intellectual lecture. There was very little emotion in her voice. “For the next month, she’ll be held in her rooms, first here until the meetings are completed, and then in London where Adam lives. She’ll be under his persuasion and will feed him daily. She’ll take his blood and do all the other things that go along with it.”
Sex. It was a part of the bonding process. For Daniel and me, it had been an extension of our previous relationship. We’d made love when we were both human, and he certainly hadn’t needed persuasion to get me into bed. What must it have been like for Kim, who’d never met Henri before she’d been forcibly married to him? “I know this is painful, and I apologize. I just don’t understand the process.”
Kim’s brown eyes slid away from me. “I can’t imagine what it was like for you. I’m sure the Council’s Nex Apparatus was brutal to say the least. I joke about how hot he is, but he scares every one of us. I heard he killed Paul last night.”
Damn straight he had. “Paul was an ass. Paul deserved killing. Daniel isn’t brutal.”
“I think Paul would disagree. You haven’t been in society. Do you know what he’s done? He killed twelve vampires on his own with his bare hands in the arena. They kept sending them in, and he kept killing them. The Council was finally forced to concede the battle to a fledgling. It was the most horrific thing I’ve ever seen.”
“Should he have let them kill him?” I asked, getting a little annoyed. “Whatever Danny has done it was to survive. He might be brutal in a fight, but he has to be to survive and protect the ones he loves. He has never hurt me. He would never lock me up to train me or force me to comply.”
Kim sat back and looked at me seriously. “I’m sorry if I offended you, but you have to understand the way the majority of vampire society feels about your husband. If you want me to explain how things work, you have to be willing to hear things that won’t make you happy.”
That was fair. I had to respect her for stating it in plain terms I could understand. “I love Daniel. It’s hard to hear how people view him. Please continue.”
I looked over at the bar where Neil sat with some fruity drink. He was talking to the bartender, who was naturally a hottie, but I knew all I had to do was whisper and he would be at my side. Neil had been a very good bodyguard/shopping buddy. He’d even kept his promise to Dev, forcing me to buy some of the filthiest lingerie I’d ever seen. I just wondered if I was ever going to get a chance to use it.
“It’s been almost a thousand years since anyone saw that sword Daniel carries,” Kim explained. “Henri practically shakes when he sees it. It’s the official weapon of the Council’s Death Machine. Henri wasn’t around for the last Nex Apparatus, but the way he talks about it, it’s a little like the vampire version of the boogeyman.”
That gibed with what I saw around the group. Everyone, even the oldest of the vampires, looked on Daniel with a deep suspicion.
Kim looked around as though trying to figure out who might be listening in. She leaned over. “Before they presented the sword to Daniel, there was talk about changing the Council. Some vampires had formed the opinion that the Council is corrupt and dangerous. The more modern of the men wanted a say in the way the Council is run. That all shut down with the arrival of your husband.”
Daniel explained this during one of his conversations with Dev—one of the conversations I’d managed to stay awake during. There was discontent among the vampires at the way the Council controlled every aspect of their lives. Before they could organize, Daniel was designated as the official executioner. He was scary enough to have quelled that probably destined to fail rebellion.
“It must be strange for everyone to be so afraid of a fledgling.” I kept my mouth shut about Daniel’s plans. Like I said before, I tended to sleep during the lecture portions of my time with Daniel, so I wasn’t about to play politics.
Kim laughed at that. “He isn’t considered a fledgling anymore. The arena test put that term out of everyone’s mind. Daniel is a king. It’s the term they use for a vampire whose talents exceed what a vampire should have. As far as I know, Daniel is the first king in a thousand years, since the last time that sword was seen. Of course, the last king actually took power and the crown. Daniel seems content to use his gifts in other ways.”
“What happened to the last king?”
“Ask Marcus Vorenus,” Kim said mysteriously. “From what I understand, he is the one who dealt that king the killing blow.”
Marcus and I were going to have to have a long talk.
Kim shook off her serious face and smiled a little. “It’s my turn for questions. Please tell me if I’m being far too personal. Henri says I have no discretion, but then I don’t remember Victorian England. The rumor is Daniel brought a lover. Is that true? He seemed so into you last night.”
I smiled slowly because this was the part of our ruse I was going to have the most fun with. “His name is Devinshea Quinn. He owns Descent, the club we were in last night. He also owns a club where we all live. He’s half Fae.”
Kim looked flummoxed. “I just wouldn’t have guessed. My gaydar was perfectly silent around Daniel. God, that just kills a whole bunch of my fantasies.”
I laughed long and hard. “Let me give you new fantasies, Kim. Daniel isn’t gay. Daniel likes to watch.”
Kim’s mouth just about hit the table. “He shares you?”
I shrugged, and then grinned because, speak of the devil, Dev walked into the dining room. He was dressed to kill in a designer suit that I was sure had never seen a rack. It was custom fit to his body and showed off his lean grace to its best advantage. He was even wearing a tie. I’d never seen Dev in a tie. He always was the picture of decadence, but now he was professional and it looked good on him. Even his hair was under ruthless control. It should have lessened his sex appeal, but it just made me anxious to mess up that perfection. I watched as Kim’s eyes widened when she caught sight of him.
“Wow,” she sighed. “That’s just wrong. I think I’ve just seen god’s actual gift to women.”
“He thinks so,” I replied as he spoke briefly to Neil and then zeroed in on me. “Kim, you’re about to meet Dev.”
“Daniel shares you with him?” Kim’s voice probably got louder than she had intended, and I watched Dev’s lips quirk briefly.
“Mrs. Donovan.” Dev acknowledged me formally with a slight bow. “Mrs. Jacobs. I can see Mrs. Donovan has already informed you of who I am. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
“And you, Mr. Quinn.” Kim managed to breathe, but only barely.
Dev glanced around the room, his voice going low. “Mr. Donovan was actually hoping to speak to your husband. He will look for him at tomorrow night’s ball. Please let Henri know Daniel would appreciate a few moments of his time.”
Kim went a little pale. “Did Henri do something wrong?”
Dev gave her a smooth smile. “Not at all. Daniel has some business he would like to discuss, and he would greatly appreciate Henri’s input. Your husband is renowned for his business sense. I believe Daniel is going to suggest that the two of you might enjoy visiting us in Dallas in the near future. We were thinking of having a few friends out. I believe you will find that Hugo Wells and Brendan Ford have already accepted invitations.”
Kim stilled. Those names meant something to her. “Yes, I think that would be something we are very interested in, Mr. Quinn. It seems Mr. Donovan has more layers than any of us thought.”
“Excellent. I look forward to speaking with you further. Now, I am afraid Mrs. Donovan is needed. Daniel is awake and craves his wife’s attention. I’ve settled the bill, but if you need anything else, Mrs. Jacobs, please feel free. The maître d’ will charge it to our account.” Dev held out his hand and helped me from my seat.
I said good-bye to my new friend and waved at Neil, who told me he was off to enjoy the strip now that his babysitting shift was over. Dev picked up a package at the bar and then hustled me out.
“Why did she know those names?” I asked when we were safely in the private elevator.
Dev pulled a bottle of Scotch out of the package and inspected it as the elevator shot up. “Brendan and Hugo were part of an earlier group that had discussed the possibility of overthrowing the Council. Nothing could be proven, and after Daniel ascended to his current post, the group quickly disbanded. It isn’t surprising they never got past the talking stage since they didn’t have a strong leader.”
Dev pushed the button for the elevator, and we began to rise toward the penthouse. I couldn’t help but think about how lonely I’d been the last couple of days. “I suppose you and Daniel are going out this evening after we’re done. I guess I’ll watch TV or something.”
“Zoey, I hate this, too.” Dev stared out the glass, looking down.
Dev had slept in one of the smaller bedrooms the night before, completely surprising me.
“I just thought we could be normal when we’re alone.” I’d been left to sleep with Neil, who I loved, but didn’t bring me the comfort Dev did. Both my loves were behind closed doors, unavailable to me.
Dev stood across from me in the elevator, the distance between us clear. “We’re never alone here, Zoey. If I get into that bed with you, how long will it be before my hands are on you? How long until you moan and wail because you are anything but quiet, lover. Do you want Daniel to lie in his bed knowing what we do? Do you want to hurt him in this fashion? If you do, we might as well just fuck on the couch where he can see us.”
“That’s not fair, Dev.” I didn’t like the guilt the image brought up. I also didn’t like his sudden prudishness. “You haven’t cared about Daniel’s feelings up to this point.”
“It’s not about Daniel,” Dev admitted, and he looked so tired. “I didn’t love you before, Zoey. It was fun, and there is this big part of me that liked the fact I was sending the entire vampire world a big old fuck you. It’s serious now. Our relationship, it deserves respect. I would want Daniel to do the same for me. If this thing is going to work, Daniel and I can’t be at each other’s throats twenty-four seven.”
“I don’t like this, Dev.” I went with emotion because I couldn’t argue with his logic. I wasn’t used to using logic and Dev in the same sentence.
Dev rolled his eyes. “You think I like the fact that I have spent the last few days of my life delving into vampire politics when I promised myself I was leaving that life behind? Do you think I liked watching you walk away with him last night after promising I would behave myself? I don’t like to behave, Zoey. I want to take you on the strip and spend fuckloads of cash and drink and get stupid. I want to bring you back here and just blow your mind. But we can’t do that anymore even if you wanted to because I have learned something over the last few days. Daniel is right. His cause is more than just. It’s imperative. It might have been fine before to just laugh with you and fuck you and send you on your way later. I can’t do that anymore. If they get their way, you get hurt. Everything we love comes under their mercy if they succeed.”
The door to the elevator opened, and I nodded because I understood but I didn’t have to like it. Dev groaned, pulling me out of the elevator. He moved us out of sight of the lobby.
“Zoey, don’t make me feel like I’m failing you when I’m trying so damn hard to avoid that,” he pleaded, holding my face in his hands.
I softened immediately. “I’m sorry. It’s just been a long night, and I was looking forward to being with you.”
He leaned down and kissed me, a gentle touch of his lips against mine. “I know, sweetheart. I love you. It will be better when we get home. We have much more freedom there. People are used to seeing us together. As long as we include Daniel in some of our public outings, we can protect his reputation. Just hang on a few more days.”
I didn’t have much choice. Hopefully we would all still be alive in a few days. I forced myself out of that mode of thinking.
“Who is the Scotch for?” I asked because Dev was a vodka boy. It was one of the reasons I loved him.
He shook his head as he led me down the hallway. It was quiet on this floor. “The Scotch is for me. Well, not really for me, but I have to drink it. If I have to drink it, I think you should, too. Daniel is ready for us, and I thought we could prepare for the evening together.”
I grinned, totally letting go of my previous sorrow. Tonight was the night both Daniel and Dev had been dreading since we decided on this course of action. Our explanation for bringing Dev along was that he shared a bed with Daniel and me. You don’t share a bed with a vampire without baring his mark. Companions might get away with it, but Dev couldn’t. Tonight, Dev got to feed Daniel.
I, for one, was looking forward to some very awkward fun. It had already been agreed that I had to be there to bring some much needed femininity to what Daniel called a horrible “sausage fest”.
Dev slid his card into the door that led to our suite. He held it open for me, and there was Danny, nervously pacing the floor. I couldn’t help giggling. “Are you nervous about your date?”
“Zoey!” both men said in a perfect symmetry that should have scared me, but I was still laughing.
“Look.” I pointed at Dev. “Dev got all dressed up and everything.”
Daniel groaned and shook his head. Dev popped the top off the Scotch bottle and took a long swig. He passed the bottle to me, and I obediently took a shot.
“She’s never going to let us live this down.” Daniel frowned.
“I could leave the two of you alone,” I offered as Dev took a swig that lasted a really long time. “I could find Neil, and we could just use our imaginations.”
“Neil already offered to tape the whole thing.” Dev shuddered. “This stuff tastes like shit.”
Daniel grabbed the bottle, studying it. “I disagree. You got a twelve-year, right?”
“Yes, I got pubescent Scotch, just like you ordered. I’m sure it’s just as confused about its sexuality as the rest of us are going to be after this,” Dev replied, loosening his tie. “Where are we going to do this?”
“The big bed,” I said. Dev and Daniel looked at me like I was insane. “It’s the only one that will fit all three of us.”
It could fit an army regiment. I figured it would work for us. It shouldn’t take too long, but we would all be comfy on the big bed.
Dev laid his tie aside. “We don’t need to bring a bed into this.”
“I don’t want you to fall on the floor. When I feed Danny, I tend to sit in his lap so he can hold me when I would normally fall to the floor because my muscles stop working. I don’t think you’ll fit on his lap.” Though I was amused at the picture in my brain.
Dev stopped drinking long enough to snort. “My muscles won’t stop working.”
“I’m not pulling him in, Z,” Daniel said, sounding shocked that I thought he would.
I was so glad I was here because they obviously needed someone to keep them on the right path. “Oh, yes you are. It hurts otherwise. It really fucking hurts, Danny. You will pull him in. He’s not into pain.”
Dev was a baby when it came to pain. He complained bitterly when he got so much as a stubbed toe.
“He can’t pull me in.” Dev laid his suit jacket over a chair, and his hands went to work on the buttons of his shirt. “It doesn’t work on me, sweetheart. Do you really think I’ve never been bitten before? I told you, Zoey, I’ve slept with just about everything with breasts on this plane.”
Daniel looked surprised and slightly scared. It made me very curious about what a female vampire was like. “Dude, there are exactly two female vampires in the entire world, and you’re telling me you slept with one of them?”
“I did indeed and I’ll be honest, I don’t get it. It hurt, and the sex wasn’t that great. You vamps are supposed to be sex on a stick, but it was highly forgettable with the exception of how fucking much it hurt. I know Zoey tells you it’s good, but she’s faking it.”
Daniel’s eyebrows shot up in one of those deeply offended masculine looks. I grinned at him to let him know Dev was crazy, but I wasn’t going to defend his reputation. He could manage that all on his own. “Faking it? We’ll see about that. Let’s get this over with. Zoey’s right. We should go to the big bed. I don’t want to have to catch you when you fall.”
Dev shrugged out of his shirt as he entered the largest of the bedrooms. “Fine, but you’re going to be disappointed. It doesn’t work on me.”
“We’ll see about that.” Daniel pulled his T-shirt over his head, and I was surrounded by really lovely chests. Dev was taller than Daniel, and his body was all lean muscle. Daniel was more solidly built, with big biceps and strong shoulders. I kind of sighed as I looked at the two of them. They were so different, but each so hot in their own way.
It made me wonder what it would be like to be in between those hard bodies. I wasn’t a tiny, thin thing, but Danny and Dev made me feel petite. Ever since Dev and Danny made their little bargain, I couldn’t help but wonder what it would be like if our fake ménage was true.
Dev started toward the big bed. “You, too, Zoey. If we’re bare-chested you should be, too. I don’t want you to ruin that blouse. It’s Mark Jacobs, from the spring collection. I can’t replace it. The color complements your eyes.”
“It’s only fair.” Daniel watched me, his eyes narrowing. He could tell I was getting very interested in the proceedings in more than an amused way. Daniel’s senses didn’t lie. He could hear my heartbeat, and it was anything but steady.
I unbuttoned my shirt. There was a practical reason for bare skin. Skin is a hell of a lot easier to get blood off of than fabric. I tried to get the dirty thoughts out of my head but, god, it was hard. Hard. My mind just kept going there.
“And the bra.” Dev held out his hand. “I need a distraction.”
“Seriously?” Being half naked was not going to make this easier. I looked back to Danny. He would probably be deeply uncomfortable.
He was standing back, his eyes on me.
“It’s nothing he hasn’t seen before,” Dev said reasonably. “If you want me to do this, give me something to distract me from the fact that your husband is about to sink his fangs into me.”
“Danny?”
Finally his lips turned up. “He’s right. It’s nothing I haven’t seen before. I’ll take what I can. And we could both use a distraction. Give up the bra.”
I unclasped my bra and tossed it to Dev. Cool air hit my skin, making my nipples pucker. The fact that their eyes were focused on me didn’t help it at all. Daniel’s fangs came out. Dev sighed. It was enough to make a girl feel confident.
I realized beyond a shadow of a doubt why the boys wanted me here. Dev might not understand it, but Daniel knew this process was deeply sexual. If I was there, the boys could concentrate on what they loved—female flesh. It would make everything easier—until the feeding was over and we all had to go back to our lonely rooms because Dev had put in the no-sex rule. I was probably going to eat an enormous amount of ice cream in an attempt to forget how much I wanted sex.
And I was definitely going to fantasize about what could have happened.
In the end, I knew Dev was right. I couldn’t hurt Danny that way. I didn’t want to. I wanted something else entirely, but I wasn’t going to get it. I had to be satisfied that my men were willing to not kill each other. Just getting them in the same room, working together, was a miracle.
An awkward moment passed and then another. Silence hung in the air and I wasn’t sure any of us was ready for what we were about to do. Working with Daniel was one thing, but this was intimate and suddenly I realized just how serious our situation was. We were going into something dangerous. We might not get out. Like it or not, the men in this room had to rely on each other. We were all we had.
Daniel cleared his throat and kicked off his shoes. I couldn’t help but notice he’d left his boots and sneakers behind. He was wearing shiny Italian loafers, the leather rich and expensive looking. He hadn’t bought those himself. Dev’s influence was already showing up in Daniel’s clothes. “We should get this done. I don’t want to take up too much time.”
Dev nodded, looking back toward me. He slipped out of his loafers, too, and climbed on that decadent-looking bed. He held his hand out to help me up. “Come on, Zoey. This will be easier if you’re here.”
Daniel gave me a tight smile that let me know he agreed and I followed Dev. The curtains were drawn though it was full dark. The room was huge, but now it felt intimate and close. The whole world felt like it had narrowed down to the three of us.
Dev’s big hands immediately went around my waist, cupping my hips. The rest of the room was chilled, but his hands were hot and restless on my skin. “Hold on to me, Zoey.”
I put my hands on his chest, his anxiety an almost palpable thing. He really thought this was going to be unpleasant. His heart beat against my hand and his breath was unsteady. I smoothed a hand across his skin, trying to calm him. “It’s going to be okay.”
One of Daniel’s hands came around Dev’s body to rest on my back, pulling all three of us together. Daniel was at Dev’s back, trapping him in between our bodies. “I promise it’s not going to hurt. Just relax, man.”
An unsteady laugh rumbled from Dev’s chest. “It occurs to me that this could be a good way to get rid of me.”
Danny’s eyes rolled. “If I haven’t killed you by now, I’m probably not going to. I’ll make it short but sweet. And you have to promise to respect me in the morning.”
It was my turn to laugh because if Daniel was joking, then everything really would be all right.
A grin quirked up Dev’s lips, and he relaxed a little. “I promise nothing. I hope the Scotch works. It tasted like shit to me.”
Daniel’s free hand found Dev’s hair, sinking in. A soft pulse of his persuasion started to slide over me. “Well, you finished the whole bottle in record time. I’m looking forward to a little buzz. Maybe we can stay in, all three of us, and watch some movies or something.”
“Sure.” Dev gasped a little as Danny ran his nose along his throat.
He was using his senses to find that perfect vein he loved to pull from, but it was having an effect on Dev I didn’t think he’d planned on. He bit his bottom lip, his eyes sliding closed, and became very still. I couldn’t tell if he was forcing himself not to run away or if he was scared he might lean into Daniel, offering him more.
Yeah, that got my motor running.
Daniel’s eyes found mine, and I sent him a smile. It wasn’t a happy little thing. It was a seductive look, and Danny’s fangs seemed to lengthen. The hand he’d placed on my skin seemed to tighten as though in invitation. Or command. I didn’t really care. I was getting drugged by the closeness of them, by the picture they were making across my suddenly lust-addled brain.
I couldn’t help it. The fact that the two men I loved more than anything both had their hands on me aroused the hell out of me.
“Let yourself go, Dev.” Daniel’s voice was deep, his irises starting to bleed blue. “This won’t hurt. You want this.”
“What the hell is that?” Dev asked. I could feel the magic starting to work on him. The evidence was suddenly poking me in the belly. His erection popped up, straining at the fly of his slacks, and his heart was thumping against my palm for a different reason now.
“Heaven, baby,” I replied because there was nothing Dev loved more than pleasure and this was exquisite.
Looking up at Dev’s confused face, I found myself filled with more than simple lust. It was the only time in my relationship with Dev where I had more experience. He was the innocent one now, and I got to lead him through an encounter that would blow his mind. I didn’t know what was wrong with his previous vampire, but there was nothing painful about Daniel when he was on his game. I knew my Dev. He was going to enjoy this and more than likely feel absolutely no shame afterward.
Daniel growled a little, the vampire inside him taking over. I caught a flash of gleaming white fangs when Daniel struck. Dev’s whole body tensed as Daniel drew hard against Dev’s neck. The whole while, Daniel’s eyes were up, focused on me, drawing me into their intimacy.
“Fuck, that’s amazing.” Dev tried so hard not to moan, but it came out of his chest, a low, sexy sound. His hands finally found my breasts, fingers tugging in time to the beat of Daniel’s mouth. He pinched at my nipples before cupping my breasts and groaning again.
I let my hands run up the sides of his torso, glorying in the muscles I skimmed over. My hips seemed to move of their own accord. They nestled against his erection and I could feel it lengthening further, getting ready to go off and ruin those expensive slacks of his.
Daniel stared at me while his throat worked. I brought a hand to touch his sandy blond hair, holding him to Dev’s throat.
“Oh, god. That feels so fucking good.” Dev rubbed his erection against me. “Zoey, sweetheart, you know how my magic goes a little crazy sometimes?”
His magic went wild at times, which was precisely why he almost never used it. “Yes. Just hold on, Dev. He’s almost done.”
“Too late. It’s already here. It feels so fucking good. Yes.” His head rolled back, touching Daniel’s, fitting against him. “This is going to be wild.”
The room was filled with Daniel’s will, but suddenly there was something else. It was much stronger, and it crowded out that soft passion of Danny’s. It pulsed from Dev’s body, and it was lust. There was no other way to describe it. It was lust and need and love all rolled into one pulse that screamed across my skin, making my every nerve ending roar with wanting.
Every cell in my body seemed to come alive. Blood pounding. Heart racing. Pure grade A lust.
Daniel released Dev and, sure enough, my faery promptly fell over, a ridiculously happy smile on his face.
Daniel’s chest worked, trying to get enough oxygen into his body. He’d already forgotten Dev. His eyes were focused on me, and I was pretty sure I might not need that ice cream. Desire pulsed through the room. His fangs were still out, his eyes a glorious blue, and his cock was pressed hard to the front of his slacks. “I hate to fucking admit this, but he tasted really good. Almost as good as you, but nothing, nothing compares, baby.”
It was wrong. It had to be. I was in the same room with Dev, but I couldn’t take my eyes off Danny. I wanted him so much it was an ache in my body. The idea of having to walk away didn’t even make sense, but I couldn’t make love with Danny while Dev watched.
Could I?
“God, can you feel that?” Dev pushed himself up, looking from me to Daniel and back again, his green eyes darker than I had ever seen them. “Can you feel it?”
I could. It was Daniel’s need, and it rolled off his body, a wave of desire that crashed against me.
“Tell me no, Z,” Daniel commanded because he never merely took what he wanted. His hands twitched, but he didn’t move toward me. “Tell me no, and I think I can leave.”
“Don’t tell him no, Zoey.” Dev hopped off the bed and then got behind me, his chest pressed to my back. His hands wound around, finding my hard nipples and playing with them, rolling them between his thumbs and fingers. I could feel the insistent twitch of his cock against my backside. I couldn’t help rubbing back against it. He whispered into my ear. “I can feel how much he needs you. It’s like a drug in my system. This could be so fucking good. Don’t deny him. Don’t deny us. Just stop thinking and feel, Zoey. You too, Dan. This can be good if you two just let it.”
All I had to do was move the slightest bit toward my husband, and he was on me. He pulled me to him, slamming our bodies together. His mouth came down on my mine, overwhelming me with his dominance.
This wasn’t a soft tease. It was a full-on assault and I let him in.
He kissed me, our tongues playing around his fangs while his hands found my ass and pulled me up against his straining cock. He rubbed himself against my belly, letting me feel everything he was offering me. I shoved my hands between us to unbutton his jeans and ease the zipper down. Need filled my world. I needed to touch him, needed him inside me. It had been so long since I felt him moving over me, connecting us and making us one.
He rewarded me with a groan as he fell into my hand. Big and thick, his dick filled my palm and I could barely close my fingers around it.
“Fuck, yes, Z. Touch me. Stroke me.” His hands wound in my hair, dragging me close so he could kiss me again.
While our tongues tangled, I stroked along his cock, from the plum-shaped head all the way to the base. He was big and hard in my hand, and I loved the soft feel of the skin that covered all that steel. He was already coated with cream, and it made my hand glide easily back and forth.
Dev moved on the bed, putting a hand on me.
Daniel growled his way.
“Don’t you fucking pull that shit with me, Dan.” Dev didn’t move an inch, didn’t back down despite the fact that Daniel was fully in beast mode. He didn’t take his hands off me. “I’m sharing with you, not the other way around.”
Just for a moment I thought Daniel would attack, but then his hips moved, thrusting up into my hand, and I knew we’d moved past the violence point. He finally put his lips on mine again, devouring me with luscious kisses.
A million erotic images skimmed the surface of my mind. I wanted to taste him, to take that hard cock in my mouth and swallow him whole. I wanted Daniel in my pussy, my mouth, anywhere I could take him. I wanted to be his.
And Dev. Oh, I wanted everything that half fertility god could give me. I wanted to kneel in utter submission before him and let him have his way, pounding into me from behind.
But most of all, I wanted to be between them.
I wanted to never have to choose.
“Time for this to come off, sweetheart,” Dev was saying behind me as he slid my skirt over my hips, his fingers taking the opportunity to glide across my core, causing me to cry out. His fingers made soft circles over my clitoris, enough to make me shake, but not to push me over the edge. And I was close, so close.
Daniel pulled back, taking the moment to get out of his jeans and boxers. He stood back, his cock hard against his belly. “Fuck, she’s gorgeous.”
Dev cupped my breasts, holding them up like an offering to Daniel. “She’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.”
“I should kill you for touching her.” But Daniel’s words were soft, non-threatening. His hand stroked his cock, running the full length over and over again. I couldn’t get my eyes off the sight even as Dev’s fingers tugged on my nipples.
“You like watching,” Dev said, his voice as sultry as the air around us. Dev’s magic was thick, catching us all in its spell.
“Get rid of those panties.” Daniel didn’t bother to give Dev a yes or no answer, but his actions spoke plainly. “Spread her legs. Show me her pussy.”
“I can do that.” Dev’s tongue traced the shell of my ear before he dispensed with the rest of my clothes, eager to do Daniel’s bidding. All the while, lust thickened in the air, filling my lungs and brain until I couldn’t think of anything but them.
When I was naked, Dev eased me back into his arms, his back against the headboard. He hooked his ankles around mine and spread my legs, showing off my pussy for Daniel’s view. When he’d had the chance to undress, I had no idea, but I pressed myself against his heat, loving the way he felt against me.
The magic heightened the effect, and I didn’t even try to fight it. I could have left the room. It wasn’t the kind of magic that robbed you of your will. It was like a long, slow intoxication. I could walk away, but I was with two men I loved and trusted. I wasn’t about to walk away.
“She’s wet, Dan. But you know that because you can smell her. Fuck, I can smell her and I don’t have your senses.” His fingers slid through the petals of my pussy, showing my husband how aroused I was. I tried to wiggle, to get him to fuck me with his fingers, but he held me tight.
Daniel looked down at the picture Dev and I made and stilled, his hand falling away from his cock. His blue eyes were heavy with desire, but he didn’t move to join us. “What the hell is this?”
Dev kissed my hair as he played with my pussy. “It’s a sort of magic. It comes naturally to me, though I haven’t felt it so strongly before. It’s attached to the three of us, but it’s going to spread through the hotel.”
“Sex magic?” Daniel asked, his whole focus on that place where my legs had parted for him.
Dev’s hand had found my clitoris and was rubbing gently, taking my breath away. “Yes, it’s a part of who I am, but this is a breakthrough for me. It’s so fucking strong. It feels so good. I would use it to start a ceremony; you would call it an orgy. I didn’t mean for it to come out, but if you really don’t want this, Daniel, you should leave. I’d put at least four or five floors between us to be safe.”
He did want this. He wanted it so bad I could feel the need pouring off him, but still he hesitated.
“Do you love her, man?” Dev asked flatly.
“Yes.” There was no hesitation, no pondering of his answer.
“I love her, too,” Dev stated. “So what the hell’s wrong with loving her together? This would be perfectly normal in my birthland. It would be good and right to bring her as much pleasure as we can.”
Daniel still seemed reluctant. “It’s not normal here.”
“Fuck normal, man. Normal will make us all miserable. We make our own normal.” Dev kissed my ear. “Zoey, your husband wants permission to join us tonight. I don’t think he’s going to take anything but a vocal invitation from you.”
“Daniel, please.” I would do just about anything to get him to join us. The last thing I wanted was for him to walk away. Tomorrow would be another problem entirely, but I wanted tonight.
That was all he needed. Daniel crawled across the bed, his big body covering mine, and I was finally where I wanted to be, surrounded by them. Dev was at my back and Daniel spread out on top of me. My legs wound their way around that powerful body, hooking around his waist so I was spread as wide for him as I could be.
“I love you, Z.” His cock was poised right at the entrance to my pussy, teasing me with his width.
“I love you, Danny.” He’d been my everything for most of my life. It felt natural and right to be there with him.
He didn’t have to get me ready. I was so wet he just slid in with a groan, stretching my pussy until I was so full of him our breaths were in synch and his heart beat in time with mine. His chest rubbed against mine as he brought our foreheads together. He held himself inside, tight against my body as he kissed me, his tongue penetrating while his cock made a place for itself deep inside me.
Slowly, so slowly I thought I would go mad, he started to move. Dev’s magic was pulsing from his body, feeding our passion and making us both groan. There was no more arguments from my husband as he pressed his face into my neck. I felt the tips of his fangs graze my skin, and I prayed he would bite down.
“Hold her still for me, man.” Daniel’s voice was guttural, almost drugged with lust.
“She’s ours tonight. Do you understand, Zoey?” Dev’s lips were against my ear, his words hot on my skin as Daniel started to thrust. “We’re going to make you scream for us. We’re going to hold you down and make you come until you don’t remember a time when one of us wasn’t inside you. We’ll pass you back and forth until we’re satisfied, until we don’t have an ounce of come left in our bodies.”
Daniel’s lower body worked hard, pumping into me, pounding his flesh into mine, seeking the connection we’d been missing for months. “You’ll take everything we give you, Z. And I intend to give it to you all night long. I’m going to fuck you until I can’t anymore. Until the sun comes up and I can’t move and even then, I might sleep with my dick inside you. I missed you, baby. I missed you so fucking much.”
His fangs grazed my neck and his magic was working in tandem with Dev’s. I would have done anything they wanted me to, anything to keep them close to me. I was willing to be their plaything, their sweet little sex toy.
All the while, Dev was whispering to me. He told me how much he loved me, how much he wanted me, how beautiful I was. I pushed back up against Danny, finding that special spot and working it as hard as I could.
Then my eyes were rolling into the back of my head, and I screamed when Daniel’s fangs pierced and he began to feed. I dug my nails into Daniel’s back and clutched Dev’s hair with my other hand. My orgasm washed over me, a wave that threatened to drown the world and I wouldn’t care. Pleasure still hummed through me when Daniel released the vein.
Daniel pushed up on his arms as his pace picked up, and he drove himself into me as hard and fast as he could manage. He threw his head back and cursed as he held me still, pumping his release into me. He fell forward, landing on my chest, his adoring lips finding my breasts.
“Love you, Z.” Daniel sighed as he rolled off me.
Dev took immediate action, twisting me around until he was on top. He kissed me, his hands wandering everywhere. When he came up for air, there was a happy decadence in his eyes, and I knew Dev was in a place he’d missed for a very long time.
“Let’s have some fun, lover.”
They proceeded to show me just how much fun three people could have.
