Idris rubbed a hand over his broad chest with a soft smile. “It feels good. I thought we were complete before, but now I can see that there was a part of us missing, and it was Cassi. I’m glad you insisted we stay in southern California.”
Silas nodded as he got to Idris’s side. The moment he was in reach, Idris grabbed him. Idris’s habit of just picking him up had taken some getting used to, but now Silas couldn’t imagine the large gargoyle not doing it at least once a day.
Spreading his legs, Silas let Idris settle him with legs on either side of the big man’s thick thighs still covered in blankets. They were facing each other, and Silas took a moment to admire Idris’s beautiful, deep brown eyes.
“I love you,” he whispered.
Idris let go of his waist and cupped Silas’s face. “I’ll keep you safe, always.”
That was how gargoyles said they loved you, and Silas felt their link vibrating with happiness. Idris dropped his hands away and tilted his neck, inviting Silas to bite him.
“Feed, please.”
Silas leaned close and licked, savoring the salty taste of Idris’s skin. Pulling his lips back, he sank his fangs in slowly, the way Idris liked it.
The gargoyle let out a low moan and cupped the back of Silas’s head with one of his big hands. Unlike the cold, packaged human blood he normally consumed, Idris’s blood was hot and full of power. It swept through him, vanishing the last of his lethargy and filling him with strength.
He felt a sudden prickle of awareness just before Cassi’s voice sounded. “What’s going on?”
He would've pulled away from Idris, but the gargoyle tightened his hold on Silas’s head, keeping him in place. “You’re not done,” he rumbled. “Let Cassi watch, you know she won’t judge you.”
There was curiosity coming from Cassi through their link, not horror or fear.
Wait, there might be more than curiosity there. Was he feeling attraction?
“Sometimes we talk Silas into feeding off of us,” Reed said in a sleep roughened voice. “It feels good, but Silas won’t do it often.”
“You feed him too?” Cassi asked. Silas couldn’t see either of them but heard the sheets rustle and felt the mattress shift. He could picture Reed sitting up and pulling Cassi between his legs for a cuddle.
“I do, but n-n-not often,” Reed said. “I’m more of a fan of biting than feeding. But Idris likes feeding more than biting.”
“The difference being if he draws blood or not,” Cassi clarified. “Can I try feeding him?”
“No!” Reed and Idris said at the same time, making Silas relax a little.
“I didn’t n-n-need the answer in st-st-stereo,” Cassi huffed with faux outrage. Despite her light tone, he could feel slight hurt emanating from her through the link. That hurt was probably the cause of the increased stuttering.
“We’re only concerned about your s-s-safety,” Reed explained. “You’re so small compared to us, you don’t have much blood to s-s-spare.”
Silas pulled his fangs from Idris’s neck and licked the spot several times. He could’ve taken more, but he needed to see Cassi’s face. Idris dropped his hand away and let Silas sit up.
As he’d guessed, Cassi was sitting sideways between Reed's legs with one shoulder leaned against his chest.
She was watching him with hungry eyes and one hand clasped to her neck in the same spot he’d bitten Idris. She was probably feeling a faint echo of what Idris experienced. That was common with soul bonds, and it would only get more powerful over the years.
“I’ll never feed from you, Cassi. You’re human and too fragile,” he said, putting a hand on Idris’s neck to rub his palm over the bite. Idris closed his eyes with a moan, his massive dick fighting the weight of the blankets over his lap. “But I’ll bite you any time you like.”
She shivered a little at his words. Reed pulled a deep breath in through his nose, telling Silas he could smell Cassi’s arousal.
“Do you want him to bite you right now?” Reed asked. “You could ride my cock while he sinks his fangs into you. I’m the only one who hasn’t been in that sweet pussy.”
Cassi’s reaction to Reed’s words was so strong that it made all three men gasp. Lust rocked through their link, radiating from Cassi like a tsunami.
Reed didn’t need any further encouragement. He grabbed Cassi and lifted her. Putting his legs together, he scooted his hips down a little. Then he slowly lowered Cassi onto his erection.
Cassi moaned and gripped Reed’s shoulders.
“You’re so wet and ready for me,” Reed gasped. “Silas, get over here. Our human needs you too.”
