Page 9 of Celestial Shadows

My hands leave Variant. I cup my breasts and display myself to their gazes. And they feast on me. Their sighs and gasps fuel my bravery as I slowly, teasingly, run my hands along my abdomen. Cambion holds his breath as I dip my fingers between my folds. Silvanus takes a step towards the bed, only to stop himself. The fragrance of my hunger fills the room as slickness covers my fingers. Variant squirms as his eyes follow the subtle movements of my fingers.

Power... this is power. They worship me even as I deny them the right to touch me.

Such patience should be rewarded.

My glistening hand brushes against Variant’s cock. He strains against his shackles once more, a hushed plea on his lips. I know Cambion is watching as I lower myself onto the rigid length of the man he once deemed his enemy. His eyes lock on the place where Variant’s body enters mine. I bite my lip and wiggle down a few more inches. Variant’s chest heaves up and down, his mouth now open wide as his eyes roll into the back of his head. Slow and steady, I take him inch by inch until there’s no more for him to give. “Have you wanted me like this, Variant? Have you yearned for it?”

He opens his eyes and sits up as far as the chains will allow.

Thoughts that aren’t mine invade my mind. Images of Variant thrusting into servants or Morrigan herself while moaning my name flash in disjointed memories. I shove him back onto the bed. I don’t know whether I should be disgusted by women he’s bedded or if I should submit to the new rush of juices between my thighs.

I brace my hands on his chest and lift myself up until just the head of his cock remains nestled within my walls. Variant attempts to brace himself, but I don’t take pity on him. I slam down with a force that knocks the air from my lungs, causing my legs to quake as I take what I want from him. The force of my thrusts bring a flash of discomfort as my body adjusts to the furious pace set by the aching need inside me. And while each delicious drag of throbbing veins and pulsating flesh against my nerves brings me great pleasure, it isn’t enough. My hunger knows the other males in the room. It recognizes them as lovers, friends, and mates. I feel as though I may burst if I don’t feel them both inside me… together. My hips stutter and Variant bucks into me.

“Cambion…”

CAMBION

Mortal Ruins

The world stops spinning as Eilish beckons me over to the bed with a crook of her finger. I climb onto the mattress behind her, kissing my way up her spine as she rides Variant as though he’s merely an object to use for her pleasure.

“Slow down for me, beautiful. I wish to feel you,” I whisper into her ear. Eilish curls her fingers against Variant’s shoulders and holds on tightly.

I grip myself and press into her. Variant meets my stare and I banish the anger inside to feel the tightness of Eilish’s channelstretching around us both. I smother her scream behind the palm of my hand and she squeezes me like a vise. The puffs of her warm breath against my knuckles increases as I rock into her, sliding out before easing back in. I remove my hand from her mouth and call Silvanus over.

“Keep her quiet. We don’t want the guards to get the wrong impression.”

Eilish gasps and Silvanus takes advantage, pressing the head of his cock against her lips until it glides over her tongue. I hear the gulping sounds of her throat working and reach up to wrap my fingers around her neck. She spasms, hips driving down to sheath my member completely inside her dripping center as I watch Silvanus each time he dips into her throat. The god snarls and pulls out long enough for her to breathe. A moan escapes her lips. “More!”

I move my hands to her hips and press her further down onto Variant. The helpless male erupts with a broken sob, bathing my member in his seed as I work Eilish up and down my shaft. My motions are slow with agonizing precision. The wetness of Variant’s release eases my intrusion, allowing me to touch each place inside her that causes her to clench around my cock.

Her hunger builds. Eilish meets Silvanus’s next thrust, forcing the god to spill his essence. She demands it from him, milking him with her plump lips and swallowing as she sucks down every last drop. Silvanus removes himself from the bed, but I’m not finished with her yet. Variant remains inside her, still hard and too sensitive to hold back the sounds coming from his mouth. Eilish rears back and tries to hurry me along, but I stop her. My finger dances along the nub between her folds. I touch her lightly as I whisper to her. “No, Eilish. Don’t rush this. Let me love you.”

“Please....”

I kiss her neck and shoulder, applying more pressure to the place she needs me most as I pick up speed just a little. It’s enough to keep her on edge, but not enough to tip her over. Tingles ignite at the base of my spine. “You’re so beautiful, Eilish. To see you like this is beyond words. You feel like… home.”

I push her down and pin her to Variant’s chest as I break through that wall of resistance that holds me back. My climax triggers Eilish and Variant tumbles into a second release. A burst of light fills the room.

CHAPTER FIVE

EILISH

Mortal Ruins

I feel... happy.

The world is the same hunk of rock twirling around the sun and yet I think I might just float away if I don’t hang on. I feel as though the first signs of spring have arrived—when the flowers begin to blossom. The first kiss of sunlight against my skin is wonderful. Silvanus stirs beside me. He reaches between my thighs and feels where Variant and Cambion’s seed still seeps from within me.

“How delicious you are.”

Though I can’t yet walk or stand, I sense power unfurling within me. A smile creeps across my mouth. Muscled arms and legs litter the bed. The heap of long limbs surrounding me is almost funny. I would laugh if not for the fact that I have duties to tend to. I untangle myself from Silvanus and Cambion lifts me into his arms. He kisses my cheek and wraps me in the discarded robes from the pile on the floor.

I walk over to the terrace that overlooks the courtyard. Mages wander from one building to another, working to repair the damage time has inflicted on the ancient stone. Theren walks along the path with a small satyr child on his shoulders, laughing and dancing around to make the child smile. Dragan and Myerdoth stroll side by side, whispering among themselves.

Pyre and Baron are nowhere to be found, but Silvanus appears at my side.
