Her tongue swept up the side of my neck, sending delicious shivers crawling down my spine straight to my aching cock. A frustrated growl left my lips, and I felt her mouth pull into a wide grin against my skin. Fuck, I was practically begging for it now. I had never begged for anything in my life. But if she didn’t bite me in the next few seconds, I was going to get on my fucking knees and beg like my life depended on it.
She’d wrapped me around her little finger, and I was completely at her mercy. She was a natural at enticing and seducing her victim into such a state that they’d do anything for her. Or maybe that was just me. I didn’t care. I just wanted to give her everything.
The moment her fangs pierced my neck was sheer bliss. The venom in her bite was so potent I nearly embarrassed myself by coming in my pants like a horny teenager. Holy fuck, she was powerful, and I could feel her drawing mouthfuls of my blood. She was probably taking too much, but I couldn’t seem to get my brain to kick into my survival mode. Her hands were everywhere, and it was stopping me from thinking clearly. Especially when they found my belt buckle. She made fast work of undoing it and freeing my cock from the confines of my boxers.
The moment her hand gripped my shaft I shuddered.
Fuuuuck.
Her hand worked me expertly and she continued to roll her hips against my thigh, seeking her own release.
Fuck, if she didn’t stop, I was going to come apart right beneath her hands and then I’d probably die. But what a fucking glorious way to go. She needed to stop. I just couldn’t seem to get my body to cooperate.
“Emmy…” I groaned. God, why was it so hard to talk? “Stop.”
Blackness danced around the edges of my vision as I hurtled towards a blissful death.
All of a sudden, pain exploded in my neck as Emmy was ripped away from me and my flesh was torn, but I couldn’t stop the orgasm she’d so expertly wrung from coursing through me. The combination of her venom, hands, hips, bite, scent, just everything about her, had me roaring her name and coming all over my shirt.
“River, are you alright?” Ash’s voice met my ears, but I was still under the sway of Emmy’s venom. My entire body trembled and quaked as it coursed through my veins, igniting every nerve ending and sending sparks zinging through me. I was so out of it. It was like I was riding a high, suspended above my body somewhere and just drowning in euphoria.
“River, come back to me.” There was a slap against my face and the sharp sting brought me crashing back down to earth with a thud.
Ash’s blue eyes stared down at me with concern. The wound on my neck let out a steady trickle of blood. Shit. She must have taken too much if it wasn’t healing. Ash must have sensed my worry because, without me even asking, he leant over and licked the wound, healing my neck for me. All demons had the ability to heal. Our saliva was potent stuff when it came to healing, but I was still under the effects of Emmy’s venom, and the feel of his tongue against my skin had me squirming in the chair. The hedonistic pull of his blood was calling to me. I needed to feed but I also needed to check on Emmy.
My gums tingled with the sensation of my fangs lengthening and before I realised what I was doing, I’d grabbed Ash by the neck and pulled his lips to mine. The guy even tasted like sex, sweet and tangy. My fang caught his bottom lip and he hissed deep into my mouth. The coppery taste of his blood hit my tongue and I instantly felt my blood lust dying down. I was an old demon, and I didn’t need much to survive. Even just a drop of Ash’s powerful blood could curb my blood lust. It wouldn’t satisfy me completely, but it would certainly save me from turning into a savage.
I brought the kiss to an end, otherwise I was going to rip his clothes off and take him right there. He let out a frustrated groan and I could tell he was wound tighter than a spring. The poor guy was suffering under all this sexual tension and I could tell he wasn’t feeding on it. He’d said he wasn’t going to use his powers on Emmy, but I’d let him feed off me.
“Are you alright? Do you need to feed?” I asked, my voice hoarse with desire as I trailed my thumb across his full bottom lip.
“Yes, but I can wait. We need to see to Emmy first.”
He was right. I needed to know she was okay. She’d just had her first feed and she was probably feeling a hundred different emotions right now. I looked down at my shirt and winced.
Ash let out a chuckle as he stood back up. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen you make such a mess.”
“Fuck off,” I grinned. I stood from the chair on trembling legs. Wow, Emmy had done quite a number on me. I tucked myself back into my pants and removed my jacket and shirt. The shirt was ruined. I couldn’t believe I’d come all over it. How embarrassing. And now I’d have to wander around shirtless since I only had the clothes on my back.
I finally looked at Emmy and she looked horrified. Her eyes had returned to their bright green and her hand trembled as she covered her mouth in shock. Blaze stood behind her, his arms wrapped around her waist possessively. I pitied the fool that attacked Emmy now. Blaze was clearly smitten and that meant he would burn the world for her if she asked him to. Or slowly torture, maim and kill anyone who laid a finger on her. The guy was fucking crazy.
“Emmy, are you okay?” I asked, approaching her slowly.
She nodded. “Are you? I’m sorry. I don’t know what came over me.”
The poor thing looked like she was on the verge of tears. I could see her bottom lip trembling and her voice was shaky.
“I’m fine. Honestly.”
Her eyes flicked to my neck and I knew she was looking for the wound, but she wouldn’t find one. My skin had healed quickly, thanks to Ash, and now it would look like nothing had ever happened. But then her eyes dipped to my torso and her eyes darkened. That was definitely a distraction we could do without. I needed Griff. He was the moral one, the sensible one and without him, the balance in our group was distorted.
“But I bit you,” she whispered, horror filling her eyes again.
“That’s alright. You’re a blood demon. It’s natural.” I drew her out of Blaze’s arms and towards the sofa. She looked like she was about to keel over. Blaze and Ash sat opposite us as I tried to navigate my way through this clusterfuck we’d made.
“Like you?” she asked.
“Yes, but unlike me, you’re from one of the Royal bloodlines.
