Us
Violence
The four walls are chipped, revealing the white concrete beneath, and deep scratches run through them like someone once climbed the ceilings here. At least the wind has died down and isn’t pushing sand in through the small window. It’s an ominous room, but the setting doesn’t even register in my mind when the door closes with a quiet clicking sound. Lavender eyes meet mine before trailing slowly down the length of my body. The room’s small, and it feels smaller with the way he’s looking at me.
“After we leave here, things will be different.” Link’s words distract me from his heated attention and the pounding of my heart. “I want you to know that once we leave here, I’ll help you.”
“You’ll help me?” I shift on my feet, and he doesn’t move an inch closer as he leans against the door on the opposite side of the room.
“That reckless feeling that’s always boomed through you, I’ll help you control it. I feel it when it shakes through you, and I know you’re strong enough to contain it. And I know you’re strong enough to wield it. But I also know you’d never ask for help. Somehow, I’ll help you.”
Slowly, step by step, he makes the space between us disappear. His body heat washes over me as his palm skims against my jaw. My hair brushes against my cheek before he pushes it back from my face. Energy pushes down on me, consuming my breaths while he stares deeply into my eyes, seemingly searching the depths of my soul.
“Let me help you, Vi.” His breath kisses my lips as he leans closer, his pale hair brushing mine.
The inky scar of the Wild Hunt on his lower lip catches my attention just before I arch against him, stretching against him until my mouth presses to his. My fingers dig into the smooth muscle of his biceps as I steady myself. Tangling energy collides within me, catching my breath and sinking low into my core. His hands skim against every inch of my body before settling low against my back, pressing me harder against him. My lips part for him, and he strokes his tongue along mine, and I feel every part of him. Our bodies are aligned, but so is our rhythm, down to the mirroring pounding of our hearts.
I want him. I want everything about him. I spent years avoiding him, and now this sweet man is all I want. My fingers brush against his soft shirt before pushing it aside. Warm skin meets my fingertips, the muscle tensing beneath my touch. Slowly, my fingers follow the angling lines veering into his pants, and he kisses me harder when I meet the button on his jeans.
The one and only time I’ve ever touched Link like this flickers through my mind. I wanted him to distract me from my life, and he refused. Now isn’t anything like that. He isn’t a distraction, even if he is deliciously distracting. I want …
I want to make him mine in every single way possible.
The sound of the door clicking closed diverts my attention, making me slip my hands away from his hard body. A breath falls from my lips as I pull back from him. Hooded, dark eyes meet mine, and in an instant, Nollix is striding toward us.
A needy form of energy tingles all through me as his big palms settle low on my hips. Link’s gaze leaves me, and the two men look at one another with a knowing gleam in their eyes. It’s a look that sets my nerves into an anticipating frenzy.
With a leisurely pace, Link pulls his sword from his belt and takes Nollix’s, setting the blades against the wall as if he’s not in a hurry. When he comes back to me, he’s studying me like he’s trying to understand my thoughts.
I can’t help but think about Link. I don’t want him to feel pushed aside. I never want him to feel that way. I’m literally caught in the middle, and I’m afraid of making a move, afraid of ruining everything about this moment.
Until Link brushes his lips lightly across mine, and with firm hands, he turns me to face Nollix. The half Demon’s eyes shift to his friend once more, and I’m not sure what he sees there, but it seems to shift us all into motion. He slams his mouth against mine, pressing my body firmly between their chests. Nollix wastes no time. There’s not one hesitating bone in this man’s body as he starts to roll his hips against mine, guiding me as my ass grinds against Link’s hardness.
Soft lips brush against my neck, Link’s tongue flicking along the curve of my shoulder, pressing tingling kisses along my skin that I can feel in the deepest part of my body. Link takes his time as his palms slip beneath my shirt. His touch is so light it seems to whisper against my skin, making me tremble against him while Nollix’s fingers dig into my hips hard. Contrasting sensations surround me, teasing me until I moan against Nollix’s lips.
It feels like the three of us are working with fluid movements that have me grinding perfectly against them both. Nollix breaks our kiss just as Link pulls my shirt off. With a feather-light touch, Link’s fingers trace along my spine, sending a shiver all through me before he meets the fabric of my bra. In an instant, he unclasps it and pushes it aside, letting it fall to the ground between us. I’m nearly naked before them, and their hands are searing across my flesh with slow, taunting touches.
I don’t know how any of this works. I don’t know who to focus on, or how to make them feel the way they’re making me feel. But neither of them seem too worried about the logistics of it. In this moment, there doesn’t seem to be a concern in their minds at all.
Nollix’s attention flashes to Link, and just as I’m about to look back at him, the half Demon grips my jaw and presses his lips to mine once more. He kisses me slowly until I finally part for him and meet his tongue in slow, flicking motions that has me breathing him in like he’s all I need right now.
Until Link’s warm palm pushes down my abdomen. The sensation of his fingers skimming down my body has me shifting against him, needy for whatever it is he’s about to do. Warm lips press to the curve of my neck. Sharp teeth nip and tease along my skin just as his fingers push beneath my jeans. His index finger meets my sex, sliding down before coming right back up and repeating the tingling feeling over, and over, and over again.
A heavy gasp shakes through me, and I feel Nollix’s smirk just before he kisses me harder, his teeth sinking into my lower lip with stinging pain before he sucks just light enough to turn that pain into pleasure. His big palms push up my ribs. His thumbs drift slow circles over my nipples before he covers my breasts completely with a firm and demanding grasp. His touch is this wavering mixture of soft and hard like he has to put thought into taking his time with me.
With one hand, Link unbuttons my jeans as his other hand dips lower. He pushes at the fabric preventing the feel of his body against mine until my jeans slide down my thighs, and I have to work to kick them away. One finger pushes in, massaging my walls slowly as he groans against my neck. The sound hums all through me, setting the energy in my core into this coiling sensation that has me gasping.
Link rocks his hips against the curve of my ass until my palm slips between us, meeting the warm skin of his abdomen. I arch my back against his chest until my hand slips beneath his jeans. The smooth feel of his hardness meets my palm, and I wrap my fingers slowly around him. His warm breath is heavier against my neck as he kisses behind my ear, along my neck, and down my shoulder. His mouth is firm with flicks of his tongue dancing along my flesh, and I feel those flicks all through me.
My wrist rolls up and then down and his pace seems to mimic mine as his palm cups me, sinking into me harder with every quick stroke of my own hand along his shaft.
Nollix turns us, walking backward until his legs hit the small bed and the mattress springs squeal into the silence as he lowers himself there.
Strong hands grip my hips as he pulls me against his lap until I’m straddling him. My hand slips from Link’s. I break our kiss as my fingers find the smooth muscle of his shoulders. The sounds of our uneven breath is all that can be heard. I stare down into his dark, inky eyes, and he waits for me. From behind me, Link’s palms skim up and down my arms, and I can feel the attention of these two amazing men as they show their patience while I try to keep up with all of this.
I push at Nollix’s soft shirt, and his gaze holds mine as I pull it away. The glittering scar along his jaw and throat skims down along the defined muscles of his shoulder. It catches my attention before I turn away from him. I twist in his lap until I can reach Link’s shirt. He watches me intently as I push at it against the panes of his abdomen before he reaches back and tears it away for me. The sweet kindness that’s always in his pale eyes isn’t there. Only a hooded look of lust stares down on me. His soft lips brush mine in the sweetest way, just a chaste taste of his mouth before he pulls back just slightly to let his words wash over me.
