Page 61 of Given

She stiffened. Started to turn her head.

I caught her chin, and those sapphire eyes skidded up to mine. “Do as he says.”

Power flared—a static charge that brushed my skin. It hit her, too, making her wince. Now two points connected us, and between them stretched an invisible leash. Until I released her, she was at my command. And because I’d told her to obey Varick, she was ultimately under his. She almost certainly didn’t understand what had happened. All I could do was spare her as much pain as possible.

I put my thumb on her plump bottom lip and pressed until she opened. I slid the fingers of my free hand into her silky hair and guided her forward.

I didn’t give her a chance to balk. Palming the back of her head, I pulled her onto my dick. I slid between her gorgeous lips and directly into her hot, wet mouth. She moaned softly, and it was a struggle not to thrust. I wanted all the way inside that warm paradise, but I forced myself to go slow. I kept my eyes on hers and rolled my hips forward, eager to fill her mouth.

“Just the tip,” Varick said, ruining all my plans. “Close your lips around the head and keep him there. No, don’t stroke him. Yes…just like that.”

I breathed easier as she obeyed to the letter, her hot mouth pulsing around my cockhead while her tiny fist gripped my base. It was exquisite torture, and Varick knew it.

“Suck,” he ordered, “but don’t let him go any deeper. Roll your tongue around the head.”

She complied, nursing at my cock with pulses that went straight to my balls. I hissed and spread my legs wider, torn between wanting just this and wanting a whole lot more. Her eyes fluttered shut. She moaned, her cheeks hollowing as she made a seal around my tip with her mouth and sucked hard.

I gripped the arms of the chair. Varick sat motionless in his, the dagger resting on his thigh. We’d played this game many times in the past, him watching me with a female. Giving direction while she sucked me or rode my dick. He liked to drag it out, to make me be good for him.

But he watched Given now, his eyes lightened to pale yellow. His lips were parted, his fangs showing. His erection formed a thick bulge between his legs.

“More,” he said. “Take him deeper.”

Given opened her eyes, revealing pupils blown wide with lust. Her mouth was a perfect O around me, those full, pink lips framing my dick so beautifully. She took me deeper. Heat sizzled up my shaft and into my balls.

“Use your tongue,” Varick demanded.

She complied immediately, licking the underside of my shaft. Her efforts were unskilled and a little clumsy, but she made up for it with her quick obedience. Mouth wide, she bobbed her head, her hot little tongue working up and down my dick. She swiped a bit too ambitiously, and she gagged, her eyes watering.

I pulled back, letting her recover.

Varick was unsympathetic, barking out orders like he was directing knights in the training yard. “Relax your jaw. Use your hand. Move it up and down as you suck. Slower. He likes it that way.”

I covered her hand again, showing her what he meant. She was never going to suck me like he did. Smaller mouth, smaller hands. She could only take me about halfway. But she was so sweet on her knees as she tried to obey. Between her hand and her mouth, she worked me with increasing skill.

“This is how it will be,” Varick rumbled, “if you become his queen. You’ll give him your mouth whenever he wants it. On your knees or all fours. He’ll snap his fingers and you’ll offer up any hole that pleases him. You’ll spread and bend for me, too, Princess. We’ll take you together, front and back. You’ll wear your crown and nothing else.”

At last, he’d pushed her too far. She lost her rhythm, my glistening dick slipping from her mouth.

“I didn’t tell you to stop,” he said.

Face flushed, she tossed him a glare. “I don’t—”

Power snapped. She yelped and rounded her shoulders. I tangled a hand in her hair and forced her mouth back onto my cock before she could challenge him again. Her brows pulled together, and she gurgled a protest. Anger filled her eyes, along with fear and confusion.

I held her fast, my hips flexing as I resumed fucking her mouth. “Varick’s in charge. He didn’t tell you to stop. So you won’t. Understand?”

Her moan vibrated around my dick. She resisted a little, tugging at my grip on her hair.

Power snapped again, harder this time. My cock absorbed her cry of pain.

“Do you understand?” I pressed, my hand tight in her hair. “You don’t want to hurt, sweetheart, so be a good girl and obey.” I held her head still and gave her steady, even thrusts. Not enough to gag her, but more than enough to keep her attention. She turned her anger to me now, her blue eyes blazing as I pumped my cock into her mouth. And, oh, she was a dream like that—spitting mad and sopping wet and trapped on my dick.

“She understands,” Varick answered for her. “She’ll do whatever she’s told.”

“Mmph,” was all she managed with her mouth full of my cock. Judging from the way her eyes shot sparks, she disagreed. But she didn’t dare try to get away, and the scent of her arousal grew stronger.

Varick continued. “How much do you really know about your vampire half, Princess? Do you know what it means to be Queen of Nor Doru?”
