I slammed my mouth to his. I could feel our bond thrumming through me, making our kiss an explosion of desire. I started grinding on his dick, putting pressure on my clit, and moaned in his mouth. Our tongues were thrusting in time to the movementof my hips. I raised my head slightly, “Touch my breasts, let me feel the ability that you seem so proud of.” I threw my head back when I felt a warm tongue lap at my nipples and not the touch of hands like I was expecting. Storm’s power was next level.

“That’s it Nexus, take what you need from your Faction. Use me for your pleasure.”he urged, this time speaking directly in my head. Through the bond I could feel the pleasure he felt, and it brought my orgasm even closer.

“I’m in control of this Faction and I’ll make the decisions of who I bring into it and when!” I rolled my hips and ended my statement in a long moan as my climax hit. Forcing my will on him and taking my power back felt amazing!

Feeling the heat from his gaze I was surprised to find him grinning widely, “The funny thing about control is, taking it is easy, but keeping it is another matter entirely. It’s all about perception.”

The knife I was holding flew from my hand and stuck in the wall behind him. I felt myself being lifted and thrown on the bed as he followed quickly lowering his weight on me. My hands were thrown forcefully above my head and restrained by his power. He lowered his head and began licking and biting my nipples in a frenzy.

I tried to use his power against him like I did previously, but the pleasure was too much. Our connection demanded we complete our bond, and I was caught up in the intensity of the moment.

Oren licked and bit his way down my body, as I felt the rest of my clothes being removed. Hands pulled my thighs apart and I lifted my head watching his progress. He licked into my navel and then raised his head to meet my eyes, seeing the raw need on his face, I had to look away.

“Give me those beautiful amber eyes Nexus. I want you watching everything I do to you.” Unable to fight his commandI brought my eyes back to him. He smiled slowly in satisfaction and lowered his head to continue his journey down my body. I arched my back as I felt him lick up my slit, reveling in the moisture left by my previous orgasm.

Oren inhaled deeply, “You taste and smell divine. This is now my favorite place to be.” I felt his power release my hands when he began sucking on my clit. Instead of pushing him away I clutched his hair, pushing his head closer to me. I felt him all around me, hands in my hair, lips on my breasts, hands cupping my ass and running down my legs. I had no idea which ones were his and which were his ability. He continued his ministrations, and I moaned as I felt another orgasm cresting, right before it broke, he stopped.

“What the fu….” before I could complete the sentence, I felt him slide back up my body and plunge his massive dick into me with no warning. Giving me a minute to adjust to his size, he took my mouth in another searing kiss. As he started to move, we both moaned in unison, I felt an intense heat coming from his dick, making me clench around him in pleasure. Opening my eyes in shock, I found him grinning down at me.

“My Faction brothers are going to need to step up their game.” He smiled smugly.

Just as I started to reply I felt a finger touch my clit with a shock of heat and I lost it. My orgasm was so intense I saw stars. Oren let out a shout and I felt his warm cum paint my walls triggering yet another orgasm.

I must have passed out for a moment because when I came to, Oren had a warm rag cleaning me, then he left the room returning with a bottle of water. He helped me prop a couple of pillows behind my head. Handing me the bottle of water Oren cleared his throat and lowered his eyes.

“You’re so much more than I hoped for or deserve.” He raised his head, and I could see the shine of tears in his eyes, “I’lldo whatever it takes to gain your forgiveness for the things I’ve done, but I will never be sorry for making you mine.”

I could feel his sincerity through our newly formed bond. I truly hoped I could find a way to forgive him, because he was a part of my Faction now, for better or worse.

I thought it would have been awkward between us. But as he climbed back into bed and pulled me into his arms, my last thought before drifting off to sleep, was how natural it felt. Almost like it was meant to be.

Chapter 31

Oren

Ileft Reverie sleeping in my bed and headed to the cafeteria to grab us something to eat. The need to take care of her was riding me hard. I couldn’t believe that I was now part of a Faction and had a Nexus to take care of. I regretted how it came about but I didn’t have time to court Reverie properly. My very life was on the line.

Reverie didn’t know it, but I had put plans into place to become part of her Faction before she stepped foot on campus.Those plans changed when I slipped into the twins' apartment using one of my most useful abilities. There was a learning curve to mastering invisibility, but my father had made sure I became proficient. Remus Storm had a lot of enemies and liked to stay two steps ahead. Learning Reverie didn’t need the ritual to bond made things a great deal easier.

I was at a gathering of Aurathions to celebrate the New Year when I first saw Reverie. She was only fifteen or so and I was on winter break from Emberhold. My father had pointed out the Hawthorne Faction. Then, of course, went into a long monologue about their disloyalty to the Aurathion people. At that time, I was just starting to realize my father was not the man I thought he was. It was my second year at the Academy. I hadn’t found my Nexus and was starting to get discouraged. Thanks to my father it was critical that I find one sooner rather than later.

I heard laughter and tuned out my father’s words to see a small teenager with midnight hair. She punched one of her fathers in the arm and he picked her up and tossed her to what was obviously his twin brother. Adelaide walked up and pulled her out of his arms and stood in front of Reverie protectively. (I knew who Adelaide was, all Aurathions did.)

Suddenly, a massive tiger came out of nowhere and pounced on the two tiny females. I started forward when the tiger transformed into one of her fathers. They were all laughing, even as her other father pulled him off and thumped him on the forehead.

I felt the need to get closer to the girl and as soon as my father turned his back, I slipped away. Staying to the shadows I drew near enough to see her stunning amber eyes. Those eyes, combined with her midnight hair, and pale skin made her stunningly beautiful. I felt drawn to her and when she turned my way like she could sense me there, I knew she was destined to be my Nexus.

I had kept close track of her over the next few years until she made her way to Emberhold Academy. I knew Nathan had become part of her Faction but had assumed her mother had performed the ceremony or found someone else to do it. Imagine my surprise when I found out the truth.

I wasn’t a good guy, and I knew it. Honestly, none of the guys that were going to be my Faction brothers were. Except, possibly Jet. To defeat what was coming it was going to take every bit of ruthlessness we possessed. I hoped it would be enough. I would give my life ten times over to protect my Nexus and I knew that was the hook that would bring my Faction brothers together.

Entering the cafeteria, I threw some sandwiches and chips together. There was a cold selection of food available to students or teachers twenty-four hours a day. I had drinks in my apartment but had spent so much time following Reverie there hadn’t been time to stock up on food.

Turning to head for the door I heard my name being called.

“Oren!”

Fucking Kristine! Just great. I stopped, knowing it was useless to try and ignore her. She would just follow me back to myapartment and I didn’t want any of my family to know I had become part of Reverie’s Faction…yet.
