Page 176 of Wrath of the Fae

‘I can’t deny the queen now, can I?’

Another finger. He lets out a long, wanton breath as I rest my head back and look up at the sky once more.

‘How long until we leave?’

‘Long enough to do what I want to you,’ he murmurs.

A swarm of black smoke seeps over the railings of the balcony and forms into a solid mass before me.

Cyrus’s dark eyes land on mine after he takes in the sight of Reid finger fucking me from behind.

Panting and covered in blood, he steps closer.

‘You finished already?’ Reid asks him.

‘Not by a long shot,’ he replies, stepping close and looking down at me. I reach out and wipe a bead of blood from his cheek. Jonah’s blood. ‘But when I feel her getting worked up like this, I can’t stay away.’

It makes me desperate, seeing his hands stained red. His clothes covered in off spray. Seeing the sweat on his brow.

He kisses me hard, pressing me into Reid’s chest as he takes all he can. He clamps his hands down on my hips and presses his growing erection into my stomach.

They pull up my dress, bunching it around my hips as they free themselves from their trousers.

The door opens, and Lucca strides in.

He slows to a stop, seeing me pinned between the two.

And that look of jealousy returns. It’s so clear. The anger I feel from the guys as they see it, hits me like a fist to the gut. Attempting to move is met with them firming their grip on me.

But Lucca refuses to leave. He refuses to look away.

‘We’re ready to move, Pup. Everyone is waiting in the main hall.’

His hands slide into his pockets as he looks me dead in the eye.

I push the two away and step aside.

‘I’ll be there in five minutes,’ I reply. ‘Is everything settled here?’

‘Yes. Wolf is leaving behind half his Valker to help secure the Kingdom against further attacks, and a search has been completed. No First Kingdom soldiers remain.’ He steps aside, clearing the path to the door. ‘After you, Pup.’

Smoothing myself down, I stride past him, the others following close.

Creating the portal to the Thirteenth is simple enough. I created one by using runes on the wall of the main hall.

Reid and Cyrus will give me what I need to keep the darkness in check when we return.

It’s my shield I need to be wary of. That’s what Ivan can latch onto.

Or so I thought. I still can’t explain what happened to make that last crack happen.

We are back in the courtyard of Midnight’s End when we step through.

We’re home.

As the others come through, Reid pulls me aside and kisses me. Only we know that he has run a blade along his tongue, and as he kisses me, he feeds me. He keeps the black markings from spreading any further.

He looks satisfied when our kiss ends and returns his focus to the others coming through.
