"You're a great kisser," I told him truthfully. For his first time, he'd been phenomenal. Not too slobbery. I thought back to those teenage boys I used to kiss and how they'd been so drooly. Is that a word? Slobbery? It was disgusting.
Faris smirked and rolled off the bed. "I'm going to get cleaned up. And as sexy as you are with your blood trickling down your chin, I don't think your other boyfriends would agree. Hold still," he ordered, leaning down and licking me clean as I blinked like an owl.
"Delicious," he murmured, closing his eyes and savoring the flavor. "Better get downstairs, Firefly. They just got back."
"What?" I screeched, springing off the bed like a ninja. Maven was howling, already flying down the stairs.
"See ya in a bit. Go, Firefly," Faris urged, turning me and pushing me toward the door with a swat on the ass. I gave him one last beaming smile before I was out the door, my heart fluttering with anticipation. The thrill of seeing them, finally.
My bare feet hit the landing and I ran toward the sound of voices. I slid on the rug as I came to an abrupt stop. Right in front of my face was my mother.
Khol had her by the hair, clearly taking her somewhere. I hadn't expected to run into her, in my fucking house. Not when I was running so high on endorphins.
I inhaled sharply as our gazes collided. White hot fury scorched my veins and my demon immediately came thundering out. Wings, tail, horns... and bloodlust.
"You! You fucking bitch!" I screamed, launching myself at her before Khol could stop me. I hit her like a linebacker, slamming her to the floor, the sound of her terror fueling my purpose. She should be scared. So. Fucking. Scared.
"You killed him! I HATE YOU!" I shrieked, pulling my arm back and punching her right in the nose. "How could you? How. Could. You?" Each word was accompanied by a slap or a punch. I wasn't Saige anymore, I was a different kind of witch. Fuck, I was a demon witch who knew what it felt like to lose a mate. I knew what it felt like to have my own mother murder my mate. No, I wasn't Saige anymore. I was something else entirely.
"Why aren't you fighting back? Fight me, you bitch!" I bellowed, tears running down my face freely. Not even becoming a demon witch could cure the fury tears.
"I paralyzed her magic," I heard Khol say from somewhere nearby and I heard Gran’s soft cries.Gods, poor Gran.
"Cub." I froze. That voice. The command. A name and an order. Stop. Come.
I was breathing heavily as I looked over and saw them. A sob burst from my throat before I could hold it in.
Cam and Kai were standing side by side, fierce expressions on their faces. Kai was butt naked without a care in the world and I clambered off of Laurie's squealing body. Khol was already dragging her down the hall with Gran following. Sloane was standing off to the side looking like he had to take a big shit or something.
"Baby girl." Cam's husky voice ignited a shiver of lust that overtook my whole body. I launched myself at the both of them, quickly being hoisted up into Cam's big arms. My legs wrapped around his waist just as Kai pressed himself against my back. Kai's teeth nipped at my neck and Cam's mouth crashed against mine.
His tongue pushed against mine immediately and I moaned loudly, not giving a shit how I must have sounded at that moment. I heard a soft thud but didn’t break the kiss. Good goddesses and goblins, it was too good.
“Guys, what the hell?” I heard an exasperated Sloane coming from somewhere. He could suck my thang if he thought I was going to stop all of this right here.
"We missed you so fucking much, Cub," Kai growled, his hands slipping between mine and Cam's bodies as he sought out my tits. When he pinched my nipples, I broke from Cam's lips to let out a squeal of encouragement. "Look at these pretty fucking wings," he purred, wrapping my hair in his hand and pulling. My neck arched and then Kai was kissing me fiercely, the mate bond between us thrumming happily.
"Well, well, well... Got room for another?" Faris asked and I peeked over to see him standing in the entry of the living room. His hair was damp from his second shower and he looked beautiful.
I felt Cam and Kai freeze when they saw him. A soft gasp from somewhere behind us alerted me to the fact that Sloane had also spotted him. Could they tell he wasn’t—
"Fischer, oh my gods. You— We thought..." Kai stumbled over his words, his mouth opening and closing like he wasn't quite sure what he wanted to say.
Sloane stalked past the three of us, his sights set on Faris. He, no doubt, thought it was Fischer he was looking at.
And it couldn't have been timed any better. Fischer stepped around Faris just as Sloane made to grab him. Cam nearly dropped me and Sloane stumbled backward so fast he almost fell right on his ass.
"Fuck, am I glad to see you guys. Did you miss me?" Fish smiled as he stood beside his brother.
"What. The. Fuck?" Sloane asked, looking between the two men like he was examining fine art or something.
Fischer practically jumped Sloane, pulling him against his body and burying his face against his neck. The poor pyro was so confused as he returned the embrace. Maven sat obediently at Sloane's feet, clearly very happy with the return of his grumpy friend.
Fish pulled away from Sloane to address everyone. "This is Faris. I know it's weird." He shrugged, seeing the guys with their mouths hanging open in shock. "He's my brother. Uh... I wasn't entirely honest about myself. I thought I was just a little bit insane."
"What are you talking about?" Sloane asked, with a surprising amount of gentleness to his tone. I noticed that his hand was rubbing Fish's back.
"I've had this, I don't know, entity? Voice? In my head for as long as I can remember. I referred to it as my dark side. But I was able to converse with him. Him being Faris." Fischer pointed at the man in question.
